First of all: if the main alarm is a fallback alarm, then the Radio does not trust the server or stream anymore. Each consecutive Snooze will be the fallback tune as well. Now for your main alarm for some reason the stream just did not start to stream. At 05:59:58 your Radio gets the command to start the iPlayer stream At 06:00:00 it gets the signal to show the alarm window The Radio then check 6 times (every 5 seconds) if the stream started already At 06:00:30 it decides that the stream must have failed and starts the fallback. As said after the Snooze times the Radio does not try the stream anymore. It's in 'survival' mode :) So the overall timing of the alarm is perfect, nothing wrong with the SqueezePlug. In your case either BBC or the special iPlayer plugin is spoiling your alarm experience. As iPlayer didn't exist for you when you used MySB.com - what stream did you use then? How did you configure the iPlayer stream as alarm? Did you make a station a favourite or did you use any other way? In the logs it shows, that the Radio tries to connect to the stream http://87.248.208.77/stream/bbcmedia_lc1_radio2_q?s=1317756434&e=1317770834&h=eaa33a84ac0016a521858c996d38af02 When I call it myself I get the error "unauthorized URL", so I think the way you configured iPlayer as alarm tune creates a stream link that does not work anymore in the morning. Maybe configuring it differently makes it behave better? Another possibility would be to put the iPlayer stream into a playlist and then use the playlist as alarm tune? Maybe this makes the stream behave better (or iPlayer providing a working URL in the morning) -- bluegaspode Did you know: *'SqueezePlayer' (www.squeezeplayer.com)* will stream all your music to your Android device.
