After normal pauses, channel changes, turn offs, and a power failure or two since my first post, the album art and user control functionality of Pandora and Rhapsody resumed being unpredictable with the r9009 software. I concluded that my earlier report of success with the SB Server was overoptimistic. Additional stops, turn-offs, power cycling, and resets to factory settings didn't help.
I used the advice posted elsewhere on this forum to download an earlier version of SB Server and "update" the SB Radio firmware to V7.4.r7790. Hopefully this will restore what had been acceptable performance with mysqueezebox.com until the 7.5.x.x "upgrade." I'll have to ignore and bypass offered upgrades until someone reports on this forum that a future upgrade actually works with mysqueezebox.com The variability others have reported suggests that network latency might indeed be the cause. Logging the SB Radio's network traffic with Ethereal or the like might allow one to isolate a timing issue, but that falls short of being able to fix it oneself in a closed product like the Squeezebox. Prior experience with Logitech support trying to resolve a time zone offset between SB Server and mysqueezebox.com suggests that a diagnosis might not get it fixed anyway. If the album art problems reappear with SB Radio v7.4, I'll dump the radio on ebay for whatever it will bring with suitable caveats to the buyer. Meanewhile, I'll bypass Logitech's software upgrades until someone on these forums reports that a future upgrade actually works with mysqueezebox.com I bought the SB RAdio for music listening, not as a hobby, but I have been a product developer and a hobbyist and know and truly appreciate the effort others make on these forums to reverse engineer and try to make Logitech's product usable, even though that should be Logitech's job. -- dlpoole ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dlpoole's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39916 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73290 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
