The big difference between the Squeezebox and the UE Smart Radio is that the Smart Radio is no longer being controlled through your local server (like the Squeezebox) but through the web site (UESmartRadio.com). So since the server doesn't control the Radio anymore, the Web interface (for the server) can't do so either. It would probably still be possible to create a web interface (the server could contact the online service and control the player through that) but this would be a new development. This whole changed kills a lot of functionality (for example plugins) but it _does_ add something: you don't have to switch servers anymore and you can now easily use music from more than one computer at a time. > > I did a factory reset and set up my radio from scratch.

There should be an option on MySqueezebox.com to cancel the update and then you will get control through the web site back, too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96256 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
