Looks like this thread's gone cold, so either the problem is going away or users are giving up. I'll post this observation just for the record.
After numerous trials and reverting to v7.4.x firmware, I found no sequence of operations that would ensure the album art and user control (+key) features on Rhapsody and Pandora worked all the time; they seemed to come and go at random, so I re-upgraded to V7.5.1 r9009 to stop the constant nags to do so. Once while it was not working, I noticed a screen Could not connect to mysqueezebox.com, if this persists,... <poof> that never persisted long enough to read the whole of it. Pandora and Rhapsody would nonetheless display playlists, channels, etc., and play them, but without the artwork and control features. Despite the above dialog, logging into mysqueezebox.com with a web browser and examining the player tab, however, showed the radio as being connected. Manual disconnect attempts from the browser instantly reconnected as long as the SB radio remained powered up. Rhapsody and Pandora continued to display and play without the album artwork or control features. I forced the SBradio to disconnect by pulling its power, then forced a disconnect and removed it via the browser at mysqueezebox.com. Factory resetting the SBRadio then caused it to go back through the entire setup dialog including the account email and password for mysqueezebox.com. With that done, artwork and control functions reappeared on both Pandora and Rhapsody. The MyMusic functions, however, now return a dialog that a Squeezebox server must be downloaded, installed, and running. When I first began using the SBRadio and before all the problems with artwork and controls began, I recall seeing a connecting dialog when changing back and forth between MyMusic (on the SBServer) and Internet Radio, Pandora, or Rhapsody (via mysqueezebox.com) That behavior has changed, or else the can't connect dialog appears instead, but is so fleeting that I don't notice it. >From the SqueezeOS Architecture description: Two modes of operation are supported. Firstly when the user has one or more SqueezeCenters located on their local network. In this scenario all the audio players and SqueezeOS-based controllers are connected to the SqueezeCenter. The SqueezeCenter controls the state and actions of all connected devices. Internet services are available via the OPML/http connection from SqueezeNetwork (this is planned for SqueezeCenter 7). The second scenario is when the user is not using SqueezeCenter (either they dont have it installed or the PC is turned off). In this case all the audio players and SqueezeOS-based controllers are connected directly to SqueezeNetwork. It seems to be the PC is turned off part of the second scenario that appears not to work reliably. Since I don't intend to use a SBserver regularly, I will not run it nor allow the SBRadio to connect to it. We'll see if that fixes the problem with Rhapsody and Pandora (which are all I really need, anyway.) -- dlpoole ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dlpoole's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39916 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73290
