Thanks for taking a look. On mySB I used the BBC applet (I am in the UK if that makes any difference). I save the iPlayer stream as a favourite and use that for the alarm. I think the url of the stream appears in the server.log (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r2_aaclca.pls). I tried to access the url you mentioned and saw the same error. I did some more testing last night and the first couple of alarms I tried sounded the fallback alarm so I rebooted the radio and that seemed to cure it. Two or three more alarms worked perfectly but this morning the fallback alarm sounded again at 6.00am. After the first snooze interval I turned off the alarm and scheduled another for 6.13 which worked using the same stream. The radio log with alarm debug is attached and you can see the alarm that worked last night at 10.00pm followed by the failed alarm at 6.00 etc. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: messages2.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=12569| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- slartibartfast ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slartibartfast's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35609 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89292 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
