Here are the presets values from server.prefs for a single Radio before
and after:
BEFORE
Code:
presets: *5
AFTER (blank but with values that I think were created by the Presets
Editor Plugin, whose GUI has 10 entries for presets)
Code:
presets:

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] New in 7.9.2: Presets editor
OK, I seem to have gotten everything working again! I factory reset one of my Radios to find out what the default setting for the "preset:" value was supposed to look like in server.prefs I then took the default value and manually copied and pasted it to each of my other 3 Radios by editing server.prefs with a text editor. My Radio presets once again function independently from one another, and they can be changed using the GUI from the PresetsEditor plugin or manually by holding the preset buttons on the players. Thank you to everyone who helped me troubleshoot this problem! Especially to slartibartfast for pointing me to where the presets were stored in server.prefs astehn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110087 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Thanks for the suggestion. I poked around in server.prefs and found lots
I don't understand, but also maybe an important clue.
After I cleared out all of my existing Presets using the PresetEditor
plugin to try to start from scratch, each of my 4 Radios showed this
value in server.pref:
PRESETS: *5
Next I tried adding a Preset manually to my bedroom Radio by holding the
physical button. The bizarre result is that the preset was added to
server.pref under my Squeezebox Touch! The change to server.pref under
my Touch player looks like this:
* presets: &5

text: 30 Minute Yoga Routine - No Album - David Swenson
type: audio
- {}
- {}

- {}*
There was NO resulting change to the server.pref entries for each of my
4 Radios. They still show the same value as before:
PRESETS: *5
But each of my 4 Radios will now start the preset I added using button
#6. I don't get it!

But I only realized the problem was happening back in December when a strange preset magically appeared on my bedroom Radio. I couldn't imagine my wife had added it, so I asked my kids. Sure enough, they had added the new preset, but on THEIR Radio! I just upgraded to LMS v8.1.2, 1611497551, but the problem remains. At this point, it seems like I need to just live with the problem or reset things to their defaults and start over. But what should I start with? Wiping LMS cache/prefs/etc. and reinstalling?

Here's a list of the plugins I'm using, but I would assume they're not causing the behavior because it occurs even when I start LMS in Safe Mode.

I did what Paul suggested and unplugged one radio. No errors were reported in the log when I tried to add a preset on a different radio. When I reconnected the radio, it picked up the new preset. astehn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110087 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] New in 7.9.2: Presets editor
Do all your Radios have unique names? YES Are all your Radios controlling themselves, or another player? EACH RADIO IS ONLY CONTROLLING ITSELF. Are your Radios synched? NO Do you use them in a group (Group players plugin)? NO Other than this odd shared preset behavior, my 4 Radios are all functioning normally and independently. astehn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110087 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

To test again, I deleted all the presets using the presets plugin, and then added just one (Preset #6) to my Bedroom Radio. Without me wanting to, that same preset was automatically added to the other 3 Radios in our house. Curiously, it was NOT automatically to our SB Boom! Our Boom and our Radios operate independently in the Presets Plugin, as they should. That led me to suspect that the problem might be coming from the SettingsManager Plugin because it has an option to keep player preferences synced. But I checked and the 4 Radios are not set up to keep preferences synced. For good measure, I checked the box to keep the preferences for the presets of our 4 Radios synced and applied. Then I UNCHECKED the box to keep the preferences for the presets of our 4 Radios synced and applied. Finally, I uninstalled the SettingsManager plugin and rebooted LMS. Still, any preset I add (or delete) from any 1 of my 4 Radios is automatically added (or deleted) from the other 3 Radios. This is true even if I add the preset the old-fashioned way by holding the preset button down on one of the Radios--all the other Radios act like I've added that same preset to them. Any ideas how to fix this? astehn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110087 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] New in 7.9.2: Presets editor
This is a great plugin, but I have a question about how it's supposed to work. We have 4 Radios in our house. If I establish a preset for one of them (say Preset #6 for example), the same preset is established for all 4 Radios. If I delete Preset #6 from one Radio using the plugin, it's automatically deleted from all 4 radios. Is this a bug or a feature? What I'd like is to be able to have Preset #6 play one song in our Kitchen Radio but have Preset #6 play a DIFFERENT song on my Kids' Radio. The GUI of the plugin makes this seem possible, but I can't get it to happen. Could someone confirm that they also see the same behavior, or maybe help me figure out what i'm doing wrong? astehn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110087 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
