It's still hard to understand because I can stop SBS while the Radio is playing the internet radio stream and continues without problems (not connected to SBS or MSB). So the radio knows how to keep track of time and alarm without SBS (or MSB) and it knows how to stream internet radio without SBS (or MSB). Logically, it should be possible to combine the two. I guess the problem is that for now it relies on the "original" server to tell it what to stream (URL stored on the server) and if this server is unavailable it will use the fall back sound. First option Couldn't it just switch to MSB automatically? is there any way to configure this? like "if SBS is unavailable for >5 min the switch" perhaps it's more complicated than this (usually is :-) ) Second option If the software was enhanced a bit the radio could store the URL for the internet stream localy (as it does with the alarm time) and use this information in case the server is unavailable. I guess this would benefit SBS users as well as MSB users in case MSB is down. -- Letten Duet -> Audioengine A5 Classic -> Sony surround reciever -> Jamo 5.1 Speakers / JBL 120Ti 2 Boom's SC 7.4.2 on Laptop running Windows XP Linksys WRT54G wireless router ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Letten's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16718 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78584 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
