Sending WOL to the server should be ok, but just to make sure it's alive when you turn off the alarm and selects to continue playing your radio favorite/preset instead. bluegaspode;548509 Wrote: > > Problems to expect: > - the server might want to 'take over' the audio system which you just > used locally.

Sending a WOL as described above will case the server to startup, I suppose this could trigger events as those you are suggesting ? bluegaspode;548509 Wrote: > > - if there is already a stream playing when an alarm starts: you 'take > over' the audio system yourself without the server knowing - so again > the server might try to get control back. > Would it be possible to just start by sending a "pause" command to the server if something is already playing ? bluegaspode;548509 Wrote: > > I'd wait until logitech publishes its Roadmap for the next release.

I'm not sure I'm even going to do this myself, I just know that my Radio wakes me up with normal music every morning and almost gives me a heart attack a number of minutes later when my nice music is replaces by the fallback alarm. By looking in the logs it seems like it's caused by short temporary network problem. I suspect the same thing might happen when I'm playing music normally but then the audio buffer in the Radio makes sure it doesn't disturb the music, it kind of feels like the fallback is activated too soon when there is a problem. Do you know if the fallback delay can easily be increased to a minute or something similar ? -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78920 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
