Re: [slim] Jazzradio.com URLs stopped working
From: https://www.jazzradio.com/founder-letter "In the final weeks of 2015, the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) in the United States imposed new royalty rates for the years spanning 2016-2020. In the process, this move also eliminated the special royalty rates which existed for small webcasters such as JAZZRADIO.com. Effective January, 2016, our royalty costs will therefore increase dramatically, as they will for all the other independent webcasters in the US. I am sad to say that many will likely not stay in business as advertising revenue will not be enough to pay for their costs. In order to maintain profitability and continue to keep this great music available, JAZZRADIO.com is also making some hard decisions to limit our free streaming service, including shutting down all third-party access to our free streams through services like TuneIn, iTunes, and other radio directories. In addition, only Premium members will be allowed to access our steams on hardware players like Sonos and Squeezebox."

Re: [slim] New life into an old smart radio
I passed the power supply to the Vonets, then the Radio, as someone else here described, so there is no way to run the Vonets from the Radio battery pack, even if it could supply it. I saw the idea about using a power block, which I have a half-dozen or so as party favors and from gift bags. I can pull out both plugs (power and ethernet) and go portable under WiFi for a while, but if I try to use it in a remote location for more than a couple of hours, I will take the power supply and the Vonets with me and find a wall outlet. I'm on a corner lot and I think the one neighbor, on the side where my workroom is located, is also the house with the interfering WiFi that affects the Radio. The consensus here seems to be that WiFi6 is the conflict. I don't have it, but my one neighbor might, since my WiFi sniffer shows them all over the various channels and ranges. Since I plugged in the Vonets, I've had no dropout on the Radio. The Boom that lives against the same outside wall never drops off WiFi.

Re: [slim] New life into an old smart radio
On occasion, on the built-in WiFi, I would get "waiting to connect' when trying to sync the Radio to a Boom. There is a bit of a disco light show at night from the Vonets. I read where people pull it apart to tape over the LEDs. I'm sort of burying it, behind the Radio, in all the cabling, so it's more of a glow and not a glare. 21 days. No reboots. Everything connects and syncs just fine.

Re: [slim] New life into an old smart radio
As of today, this new setup has needed 0 reboots. I figured I would have had 7, by this time.

Re: [slim] New life into an old smart radio
My SB Radio (an upgraded UE) has gone from having the red WiFi icon three or so times a week, to every morning and every evening for the most recent couple of weeks. The Network reconnect spinner and reconnect options show it is still connected to my network, but fails at the sb.com step. I have had the same router for years, now. I do not use LMS. Only a full reboot seems to be resetting it. I just took delivery of the VONETS VAP11G-300. I got it set up and it's running at the SB Radio. After the setup through my laptop, I could not log back into it after its reboot. It has a hard reset button, so as long as it is working now, I might never need to admin it, again, anyway. I'll let you know if it fails with the new setup. This is a $25 fix, so wish me luck.

Re: [slim] Can I connect Squeezebox(es) to bluetooth speakers......?
"I would like to be able carry a speaker into parts of my home where I don't have a Squeezebox. I have Duets, Booms and Radios. " Put a battery pack in the Radio, put it to Sync, and carry it. I take mine all over, including out to work in the yard and while repairing something in the garage or the shed. Now all you need is good enough WiFi.

Re: [slim] Any chance that this forum will migrate to discourse?
The main issues would be Notice and Ownership, to get hold of the Content before losing access to it. I am a moderator on a forum and we got shut down by our Host without notice, and had to fight to at least copy off our content. Then, we also needed to migrate from a "discus" platform that had been abandoned years ago (making it quite affordable to keep running, however). We're on XenForo, now. We still have images to find and reattach to topics. We're about 4 months into "migration." Last time I checked, we had over 6,000 members from around the world.

Re: [slim] Jazzradio.com URLs stopped working
I have a bunch of the jazzradio listings as Favorites and as presets. I don't connect to LMS often, so these are seen at the MySB favorites. They are through the tunein app; you don't even need to be logged in, I believe, because the Squeezebox opml for tunein often show up as "partnerid=16" for this system. I installed the Tunein App, and am logged in for that, so some of the OPML show my id. I think I did a search from the Radio, got one playing, Preset it, which loads it into Favorites, and then decided to load more into Favorites. I've had them so long, I can't remember any details, really. Is my list what you are asking about? 23423 +---+ |Filename: Jazzradio.JPG| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=23423| +---+ Bassman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36373 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107768 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Error: No items found in playlist http://opml...
My system is linked to mysb.com. Instead of opml feeds, I installed the Tune In App, and then added favorites there. Radiotime = tunein.

The nightly builds don't help those of us not running a server app. All the bugzilla links seem to be for Touch and Radio and 7.6. I haven't seen one specific to Controller?

Re: [slim] Two presses to make presets play?
My Boom seems to be fine, but my Radio seems to be participating in Function Roulette. I never know if pushing a preset will play, not play, play not what is that preset, resume playing something that already ended and was no longer playing, etc. Pushing FF or RW on podcasts, or Play on podcasts, can give me nothing, the previous podcast, or the preset that wasn't working before and the reason I gave up and looked for a podcast! -- Bassman Bassman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36373 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78354 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
