Hi there, I am using Version: 7.4 - 25649 @ Fri Mar 20 01:06:53 PDT 2009 with Firmware: 45 on boom.
I am using this version for a month now, without having any problems. However, I would like to suggest some improvements for the alarm clock functionality on the boom box: 1) The alarm clock timeout option should have an additional option to actually TURN OFF the boom box, after reaching the time limit "Alarm Timeout (in minutes)". Right now the playback of the stream will stop, but the boom box stays switched on and remains fully operational (lights on, no screen saver, etc.). This feature is environmentally safe... ;) 2) The fallback feature in case the preconfigured stream does not start will only work if the stream can't be accessed at the time the alarm goes off. If the stream gets unavailable within the preconfigured time frame "Alarm Timeout (in minutes)" the music will just stop, and the "beep beep beep" won't be started. It is pretty risky if this happens shortly after the alarm went off and you aren't awake yet. It almost happened to me once already... So during the alarm timeout period the "beep beep beep" should start immediately as soon as there are problems with the playback of the stream while constantly retrying to start the stream... Just to make it more reliable... ;) 3) A nice feature would also be to be able to configure the fallback "beep beep beep" sounds, but this is not so important. I would be more than happy if the first two suggestions would find their space within the code... Please tell me what you think about my suggestions! Cheers, Axel. -- phaze75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ phaze75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29875 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62698 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
