Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Question about mysqueezebox.com requirement
Don't forget the History the old ip3k based players are *really' thin clients eg the SB3 SB2 transporter and BOOM . These can't do a thing without a server, now we have Radio and Touch that have some processing power on their own . Now how to make these different products behave with a common interface in a seamless way . They still opted for the client server model of doing it, or more like client-server-mysbs.com com as even the server uses mysbs.com in the background, for localisation account verification for your music services and such. This makes even more sense in a multiplayer setup, how can anyone be content with one squeezebox ;) Then a server and/or mysbs.com as a central hub makes even more sense. You have a common place for configuration and managing your players. If you use a local server you have excellent synchronization of players if you want that (well you can sync via mysbs.com to but don't expect 100% perfect ) -- Mnyb Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBRto be stuffed in a box in the attic ) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to controll this Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=7 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I started a thread on this earlier, but got little feedback, with only one other confirmed case. My radio was doing this on a daily basis, so I assumed that it was not a common/software problem (based on the lack of responses) and returned it. I purchased another one, but only received it a couple of days ago.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Question about mysqueezebox.com requirement
You guys may be right -- Roku may be connecting to a server behind the scenes without my knowledge. If so, it has had remarkable uptime record, as the only time we've ever had a problem has been when our internet connection was down for some reason. The thing that has been scaring me has been the posts (granted, most seem to be in Europe) from folks losing ability to use the device and/or to have the alarm go off because the server is down. I do know that the Roku gets its time from the atomic clock, not the Roku server -- that is listed on amongst the features on their website. Nonetheless, I am giving the SB radio a shot and have signed up for an account with mysqueezebox.com. So far, I must say that I am impressed with the ability to customize the display on the radio -- for a bit I was worried about the number of menus one had to go through to set a 30-minute sleep shut-off, as that's important to my husband, who is very techno-impatient. :) Now, if the music actually starts to play at alarm time in the morning, I'll be satisfied.

Except that won't help Susan as she specifically does not want a computer running. I agree wholeheartedly that the Radio should offer a connection to either SBS or MySB at initial setup. But essentially one or the other must be chosen, and for use absent a computer then a MySB account & setup is the only real option. I think the whole SN/MySB handling all Music Services and Apps is a great way to go. A one time setup online at MySB.com and all my SB players will function anywhere, anytime, with or without a computer. Once setup one never needs to log in to their MySB account ever again. :) Susan: Try it, you'll like it! :) Create a free www.MySqueezeBox.com account using your computer, enter that login info onto your Radio at setup, you are off and running.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Question about mysqueezebox.com requirement
Well, your computer has an operating system and other components a simple "thin client" device does not have. SB players are "thin clients" that require a connection to a server to function. And, actually, whatever program on your computer is playing the station stream is basically acting as the "server" per se. Absent a server some of the SB players have limited abilities like play from the line-in source and/or will (should) function as an alarm clock with a basic audio alarm (no stream). As for Roku I'd guess that your Roku player connects to the online Roku server without you even knowing it. But again, I've never used a Roku player so this is just a guess. My Yamaha AVR connects to (and only to) the vTuner online server. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=7 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

CECat. Little do you know that by purchasing a Squeeze device you have played into their plans to market you relentlessly through their Squeezebox website. This is a marketing decision made by Logitech. There is really no reason that the Radio "must" be connected to the Internet for setup and if you do some searching around you will find some workarounds that exist to let you get the radio set up without connection to MySqueezebox.com.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Question about mysqueezebox.com requirement
Hi Toby, Thanks for the quick reply. However, I promise that my Roku has no server connection -- all it requires is a wireless connection to the internet. No computer is necessary at all unless you want to access music stored on your hard drive. For internet radio, nothing additional is needed. I wasn't required to sign up for Radio Roku in order to get my radio up and running. I may be a little thick :) but I'm having trouble understanding why there would need to be a server somewhere in order to play internet radio -- I can stream the very same stations on my computer directly from the radio station itself, so why is an intermediary such as mysqueezebox.com needed for the radio to do so? IOW, if it can access mysqueezebox.com, why can't it access the radio station's stream, as it's simply another url? I am probably excessively concerned, but, unfortunately, I didn't find all the posts about the many problems with SB Radio until after my order was on the way to me. I'm trying to avoid getting stuck with an expensive device that won't perform the function for which is was purchased, so am a bit hesitant to fire it up without being pretty sure it will work as planned.

I've never used Roku, but a SB player like your Radio must be connected to a server, somewhere, somehow to play a stream.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Question about mysqueezebox.com requirement
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm a new convert whose entire previous experience is with Roku products. My new Squeezebox radio just arrived, and in reading the forums here, I see a lot of folks having issues with mysqueezebox.com server outages, etc. Hoping to avoid all that, since ALL I want to do is to be awakened to internet radio each morning and don't need all the other whistles and bells, I am trying to figure out how to simply configure the radio with 2-3 preset internet radio streams. The initial instructions seem to force me to connect to mysqueezebox.com even to get the thing up and running -- why? With my Roku, all I have to do is enter the url of the desired station; no connection to RadioRoku is necessary whatsoever (it *can* be used if one desires, but not required.

I seem to be unable to connect my Squeezebox radio to the server. Here is some information on my setup and what I've already tried. * I am running the server on a Microsoft Home Server which I have it setup as a plugin. I have verified that the Squeezebox server is running. * I have setup the Squeezebox radio on my wireless network and it can connect to mysqueezebox.com and I am able to control it remotely and get all the functionality there. * I have uninstalled and reinstalled the server and I have also reset the squeezebox to factory settings. I then set everything back up without any luck. * I am not running any firewall software on the server beyond what comes on WHS. I have tried turning that off completely without any luck. * I have verified that my Windows Home Server can ping the Squeezebox radio. * Both are on the same segment of my home network. (First 3 sets of numbers match.) Is there anything else I can try to get them to connect? Anything I'm missing? Thanks for reading this posting and help that can be provided!

If that is the case, I would suggest to move the firmware release of the radio in the 7.5.0 branch back to the same revision as the 7.4.1 release and do not update it until such bugs are solved. That version (r7915) works better on the radio compared to the current revision in the 7.5.0 branch, and pressing one time to many on the navigation wheel when the alarm goes off results in updating to the buggy r8172 version which cannot be stopped...
