This problem is real. I've got it too. Not sure if it's related, but at some point my 7.4.2 SBS installation upgraded itself to 7.5 without asking. Now the Radio and SBS are running different versions. You might want to check on that (despite the fact it makes no sense how a version mismatch would contribute to this particular problem - the Radio software truly does behave in ways one wouldn't expect)... I'll downgrade SBS to match the Radio version soon and see if that makes a difference. I've grown tired of chasing these types of issues (which don't seem to end). The recurring maintenance necessary of a consumer/user to keep the Radio functioning properly is extremely disappointing... I, for one, despite having the capacity/knowledge to jump in and modify the codebase, have been resigned to using the Radio with degraded functionality (like no clock display) because I'm not willing to spend the cycles incessantly chasing the newly created issues that are consistently popping up. In a nutshell, this problem is real (add it to the list)... -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Marc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34776 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78947 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
