Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Does SBS work with Radio?

2009-11-02 Thread Ikabob

The SBRadio is the one player not listed on SBS . The SB3 and the SBBoom
are always listed on SBS even when both are connected only to MSBox.com.
However, when the Radio is running on SBS it the does show up in the
player listing on SBS on the pc. I haven't found this to be a problem
but I have wondered if this was the way it was supposed to be.

 Hi,
 
 If the red one appears in the Logitech UK store this month I think I
 want to get that as I suspect it should look neater and more cheerful. 

Well it hasn't appeared on the Logitech UK store, and ordering the
battery still produces the error others have reported. At the end of
last week I decided to order a black radio with the 20% discount code
that expired on Saturday. It's on the way to me from Utrecht. Having
spent the weekend in Brussels, it has now arrived in England and should
be with me tomorrow. Thanks for all the comments - I'd have liked the
red one, but not enough to forgo the £30 discount!

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] how do I save favorites

2009-11-02 Thread toby10

With your computer off dial the Radio to Internet Radio  Local then
play a station, does it play properly.
Radio may ask you to connect to MySqueezeBox.com.

You are now on the online server, no computer needed.  Log your
computer onto www.MySqueezeBox.com, go to Player, you should see your
Radio listed.
Now create your Favorites and install Apps as desired on this
interface, not on your local server computer.

I presume you already created a free www.MySqueezeBox.com account? 
Registered the account via email?  Entered you account info onto your
local computer server SBS  MySqueezeBox?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox Radio is stuttering during streaming

Three of my four SB players including Radio are on WiFi, no stuttering.
Temporarily running wired is just a quick test to help diagnose

Correct.  But

Does anyone know what is the status of the battery?  It is no longer

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] My mini review of the Squeezebox Radio

2009-11-02 Thread hellesangel

If a product (however cool etc) is sold as a direct replacement for the
bedside radio then the alarm simply has to work, and compared to all the
other clever things the Radio does a bit of code that says 'if current
time == wake up time then play music' sounds rather bovine to fix.  

Some patience will be given but Logitech do concentrate on core
functionality and stability of the products before racing off to the new
wizardry.  Remember that while cool features on marketing brochures may
make an initial sale a few upset customers ranting on forums like this
can undo a lot of hard work.

Keep up the good work, etc.

Two weeks. And sorry - for me a not working alarm is so critical that
I'd expect a fix (or at least a sign that someone is working on the

Okay, fair enough.  I have only done very basic testing with alarms and
have not had an alarm fail yet.  I am concerned though that my presets
seemed to spontaneously disappear when they only thing I did was turn on
the Trackstat plugin on the server.

Looking at it now I see that the server log file is over 1.4TB and
growing.  All of the messages seem to be complaining about Trackstat
undefined symbols.

I will remove Trackstat and restart.  If the presets spontaneously
disappear on their own again I will file a bug report.

P.S., I plugged iPeng on my Amazon review, good job, it's
indispensable!

Did you import old TrackStat ratings?
I recently re-setup my server and moved to 7.5.0 and when I let
TrackStat (2.10, I believe) import my old ratings it took down the
server for around 12h (it's a slow server), logged a LOT of stuff and
caused mysql load that was so heavy that I couldn't even connect a

I let it run overnight and now it looks like it calmed down and I'm

I remember Erland had some issues with some db change in 7.4 that
caused slow lookups and one proposed solution was to generate an
additional table with hash ids to speed things up and only cause the
slow operation once at startup.
I don't know whether Erland implemented that but this was _my_ suspect
for the cause, I'll see how it will work in the future...

I did try to import an XML library file from iTunes that had all of my
current track ratings.  It had been running for about 24 hours on a very
fast HP EX495 that is set up with dual core 2.5ghz cpu.

I just had to uninstall it because it is causing way too much server
load and I don't understand what it found in the import that caused it
to start trashing everything.

I'm hoping this explains my loss of presets on the radio although it's
a bit hard to understand.  I will just recreate the presets and see how
things work over the next couple of days.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Auto dimming changed and too dim

2009-11-02 Thread jmpage2

The auto dimming does just get a bit too dark for me at night, I can't
quite make out the clock.  Mind you I want it very very dim because I'm
a light sleeper.

During the day when any light hits it the unit becomes unbelievably
bright.

Hopefully we will get the ability to set a minimum and maximum bright
level and still let the auto adjustment do its thing.

I don't really mind the way it steps up and down, it's not smooth but I
only notice it when turning a light in the room on or off.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Please vote on my preset enhancement request

2009-11-02 Thread jmpage2

The preset buttons don't tell you if they recognize a button push before
playback of the selected stream or playlist begins, which often results
in user confusion and multiple subsequent button pushes which can
further slow things down from starting up.

I've submitted an enhancement request to always have the radio pop up a
message indicating that the preset button has been selected, what the
content of the button is and a loading or waiting message while it
begins the audio playback.

Please vote for this enhancement if you agree it would be helpful.

The performance issue is if the file paths has changed, it takes few
seconds to try to find alternative paths to a single file. In a large
library a few seconds per file results in very bad performance.

The latest TrackStat version has a possibility to turn of this feature
so it only uses a file if it has the exact same path as in Squeezebox
Server. It's a setting in Settings/Plugins/TrackStat/Backup section.

I just tried to feed Trackstats my unmodified Mac based XML file which

file into Trackstats which resides on Squeezebox Server 7.4 running on

Mine is not like that at all, you can literally barely make it out. 
I'm also super sensitive to light at night and routinely tape over LEDs,
put black out tint on clocks, etc, but I have not had to do any of that
with the Squeezebox.

Did you try resetting your Radio to defaults and see if that fixes the
behavior?

The only other thing I can think of is that you have some ambient light
in the room which is hitting the sensor on the face of the radio and
fooling it into thinking the room is brighter than it is.

As an experiment you can try covering the top edge of the radio with
your hand.  The display should dim down to the point you can barely see
it at all, in just a matter of 10-15 seconds.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] My mini review of the Squeezebox Radio

2009-11-02 Thread JJZolx

 One thing that did bug me throughout my use of the radio though was the
 now playing screen. It really bugged me that the album artwork had the
 top chopped off by the progress bar and track details (particularly
 annoying with the numerous album covers that show the artist, it winds
 up that their head is chopped off like a photograph taken by a small
 child). Perhaps some alternate configurations can be provided in future
 firmware versions.

It's increasing obvious that SqueezePlay (Controller, Radio, Touch)
needs a much more configurable Now Playing screen.

This is from a restore from a TrackStat backup.

Does your TrackStat backup xml file have any characters like  # 253
; (without the spaces) or similar in it ? 
If it does, could you post a section of the file which contains
characters like this ?

 https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15021

Most people just use a clock for their stopped screensaver.  I just
tried it (firmware 7915) and it does normally kick out into the stopped
screensaver.  That's the intended behavior, so if it's not happening for
you, then that's the only bug.  I don't see a need for an automatic
switch to the Off state.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Auto dimming changed and too dim

12 inches, really?  No, mine is not 12 inches from my face, more like a
meter or more.  It also sits on a black table top so no chance of any
reflections from that.

My room is literally pitch black and I can barely read the display on
the Radio.

Is this the XML file you have specified in the parameter:

If this is the case I understand why you have problems, because this is
a iTunes XML file not a backup file from TrackStat. The Backup file
parameter need to contain the full path to a backup file for TrackStat
when you hit the Restore from file button.

If you want to do an import from iTunes using the TrackStat statistics
importer, you will instead need to setup this here: 
Settings - Plugins - Custom Scan - iTunes Statistics Import

[SlimDevices: Radio] How does one get Logitech support to respond?

2009-11-02 Thread abysmillard

I thought I'd heard that Logitech support was pretty good, but I emailed
a question regarding lost streams over a week ago and have had no
response. I have written two followup emails also with no response. I
did get an automated response with a ticket number, so I know that the
original request went somewhere at least and that I am able to receive
replys from Logitech.

Does anyone else use email support, or is phone the only way to go?
Thanks.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Auto dimming changed and too dim

2009-11-02 Thread jdoering

If possible reflection, etc could be the cause of the problem you should
test it in a pitch black closet or similar away from your face an
reflective materials. That way you can distinguish between faulty
hardware versus light feedback issues.

I checked mine from a foot away. It's definitely visible; but it
definitely wouldn't bother me - I may not be very sensitive. I couldn't
get mine to brighten up due to reflection using pieces of glossy white
paper and such.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Stuck pixel on Radio

2009-11-02 Thread jdoering

I just noticed a stuck pixel on my new radio :(

Only one but near the middle; and now that I know it's there... I saw
'this thread'
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44307highlight=stuck+pixel)
regarding the same issue on the controller. It doesn't look to be very
common. At the lower resolution of these screens compared to PC monitors
I guess the probability of a defect on a given unit should be pretty
low.

I'm certainly not going to open up a returnable unit to try the massage
tricks. I picked mine up retail from Best Buy so I don't think I'll have
trouble with an exchange. We'll see. The biggest downside in returning
it will be going through the terrible setup procedure again (considering
I have a local SqueezeServer and shouldn't have to enter anything to
autodiscover and associate with it).

Thanks for the clarification.  Yes, I was just trying to feed TrackStat
the raw XML data from an iTunes Library via the backup/restore
functionality..  I saw some very vague information about how to import
the data into Trackstat that mentioned restoring the data and it's
obvious now that it won't work that way.

As long as I have your attention, maybe you could provide me with just
a bit of guidance.

I have the goal of being able to keep my ratings synch'd between iTunes
and Trackstat running on the Squeezebox Server.

My entire music library is stored on a Windows Home Server via SMB
share.  I play the music and keep it all rated and organized on an iMac
running OS X 10.6.2.

Is there any way for me to share the ratings data between the Mac and
Trackstat running on the Squeezebox Server or would I have to
effectively move my iTunes library completely to the box that Squeeze
Server runs on?

Hopefully this isn't too confusing.  It has long been a source of
frustration for me that I organize all of my music on my iPhone and Mac
but have no easy access to this data when playing my various other
devices, including my several Squeezebox devices.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Is the RED radio a limited Edition?

2009-11-02 Thread testmatch

Hi,

I'm not Logitech, but they have said several times here that it is
indeed limited in the senses that they won't be making as many red as
black, and to expect to have to search for them. That's confirmed by the
fact that they are only in their US online store - which will not sell
to people in Europe or many other places outside the US. Those of us in
other countries have to search for the few dealers advertising them. So
far we've found one in the Netherlands with stock, and one in the UK
advertising pre-orders.

John - who bought a black because of the poor supply of red.
