Well I'm sure I went about the whole thing the wrong way... But it does illistrate a point.
It was before work, so not a lot of time, I was signing up for the Squeezenetwork and needed the "Pin" (so I had not really signed up yet) I looked for the pin via the sever's web interface, could find anything like it... so I thought oh must be the "setting" on the SB2. So went to the living room to use the remote on the SB2. Found "setting" (BTW I had not downloaded or set up the 6.1b1, though I did have the 6.1 from some nightly build I guess) but I was just going to look for the "pin" - I thought that the pin might be in the SB2 firmware or something like a MAC address, burned in at manufacture time. So I found player info, but still not pin... there was something about squeezenetwork info so I press that button... so the SB2 starts updating firmware... interups the music - my wife is trying to listen to meditation music... I'm not ready for this... but there is no cancel buton on the remote. So I guess because I did not have the 6.1b1 installed when I signed off the network the SB2 didn't know where else to go. The remote needs somekind of OBVIOUS "oh hell I didn't mean that" button, I've run in to other problems like that where I wish I could just stop what is happening but there is no "stop" "cancel" or "go back" button (it is true that the right arrow preforms this function... BUT from a consumer products point of view, and from non-geek user prespective, the remote is not as "intuitive" as a toaster yet. A lot of hidden meaning. I understand that this is all beta stuff, so I'm not complaining, just passing on information about usibility. In addition the lack of a "stop" button means that when I turn things "off" at night and try to start a new playlist in the morning the buffer is still full of the previous playlist and I get some funky sounds - a sorta SB2 buffer re-mix. I would be nice to have a "clear" way to "stop" the player at night, not just "pause" it, clearing the buffer. So don't get me wrong I think this is a great system and I love my SB2 and I'm only trying to help. So I'll go back home tonight after beginning to peice all the infomation together and try installing every thing the correct way. But also no one answered Khuli's question, and I had the same question when I installed 6.1... can we install over the top of an older version, so should we uninstall then reinstall? -- glmason _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
