It's a bit concerning that this poor little server has the power to make all new UE smart radios "useless" (as most people use them as squeezeboxes)
Only the migration from UE to SB in the US is broken at this moment. The main service should be fully functioning.
I kept that unopened UE Radio as a precious gift, and know I find out that it could be a worthless brick of some update server dies :(
I'll do my very best to not let this happen. And even if the service was to go away, there's always a way to change firmware. It's a bit more involved, but people used to do it when the official migration path wasn't in place yet.
Maybe after fixing this (which I hope comes quick :) ) would it be worth the extra time to start publishing some info about what theese services do & where they are so that, even in the case someone completely removes the plug on your side, these radios continue to work ?
I'm not sure this would be time well spent. Because we don't know the situation when the servers are shut down. Will firmware images still be accessible? Will there even still be an interest in doing this?
It's probably just a matter of a specific domain name to locally intercept & a file to serve to the box ; sharing that info (which anyone
Exactly. A UE SmartRadio would call config.logitechmusic.com to get information about what backend to connect to, and what firmware to install. If that service was to go away, you could set up your own web server responding to this request and serving SB firmware. This would trigger the firmware change on the Radio and make it a Squeezebox.
My hope is that if the day was to come, Logitech would be kind enough to leave that service in place, just moving every device to SB as they connect. Running such a service does cost "nothing", as it could be a simple .json file being served up from S3 or other cheap space.
