ok I set 3 alarms 2 minutes apart - radio station 1, radio station 2 and
music tone.
It changed from one to the other station with a beep and pause in
between. unfortunately the third alarm using a music tone went on ad
nauseum until I switched it off so this can't be used as an off
alarm.

I will experiment with some radio stations that don't play, and could
use these as off alarms.

[SlimDevices: Touch] can you set duration of alarms?

2012-08-20 Thread dood

I use the alarms to turn on the SBT as my alarm clock every morning. I
set it to turn on a radio station rather than alarm sound.
Is there any way to get it to turn itself off say after 2 hours? Perhaps
integrate the sleep function?

Wishful thinking: can I get it to change stations at pre-determined
times?

[SlimDevices: Touch] squeezecommander vs squeezebox app

2012-08-11 Thread dood

I've downloaded squeeze commander as an alternative to the Logitech
android app, after reading how much better it is.

I've found that it is not very intuitive. For example I can't figure out
how to change the player. In the settings it shows that it
sees 2 players. On the Logitech app you simply touch the name of the
player and you get a list of players to select.

The Logitech app also has a split screen that allows you to see more.

I don't get how the paid app is better. Am I missing something?

ok some progress but not there yet.

I went into LMS and mapped the itunes playlists to the the NAS

Now I can see the playlists on the SBT but they are empty. I assume this
is because the songs that I put into the playlists were from the music
library on my computer (even though the music files are stored on the
NAS in the multimediamusic folder).
In itunes I can see the NAS and this displays all the songs on it.
However, I cannot drag these songs into the playlists (red circle icon
comes up), but I can drag songs from the music library to the playlists.
As I've said these songs from the music library don't show up on the
SBT.

What do I need to do?

[SlimDevices: Touch] BBC live does not work through DAC

2012-08-07 Thread dood

I can access internet radio on my SBT as expected. When I go to BBC
iplayer, it plays the recorded programs on the various channels but does
not play the live broadcast.
After assessing variables I discovered that this only happens when the
SBT is connected to my external DAC (an old Wadia12). When I connect the
SBT to my amp via analogue outputs, the BBC live plays fine.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? I suspect it is because my DAC
is several years old, but it would be interesting to see if it happens
on newer DACs, and what the explanation is for this behaviour.

 What sampling frequencies does it accept ? the wadia 12 .
 
 Radio is very often 48kHz but in some cases also 32kHz .
 
 It can also be a word length problem for the old DAC keep the squeezebox
 volume at 100% and try again

If I remember correctly it is 44.1 and 48. I'll check when I get home
whether it automatically detects the frequency or if I have to manually
select 48kHz. I've only used it with CDs at 44.1kHz.
Will also try the volume setting.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SBT not seeing server

 Yes, using USB on Touch means you have disconnected from LMS server on

 Looks like LMS  Twonky are trying to access the same ports.  Try
 disabling Twonky for a few days to see if LMS works fine then.

So far so good, LMS and twonkymedia both streaming.

However, I have now encountered a new problem:
I can't access internet radio, either on the SBT or on the ipad app.
When I tap on internet radio it goes to BBC iplayer only. 
However, in my favourites and playlists I can see stations that I had
there.

What gives?

[SlimDevices: Touch] SBT not seeing server

2012-07-19 Thread dood

I have had my SBT for a few weeks now. Unfortunately it only functions
intermittently.

I have a QNAP NAS which store my music files. I have installed LMS on
it.
I have a wifi network at home and the SBT connects to it and there's no
problem getting internet radio.
I have succeeded in accessing my music from the NAS on the SBT, and when
it works it's fine.
If I attach a USB stick it sees it and can play the music on it.

The problems:
1. The SBT sometimes doesn't see the network. After powering on and off,
unplugging and replugging mains, getting to the menu that allows me to
re-input wifi password, I have managed to get it back.
2. Currently it connects to internet, and I am listening to internet
radio. However it does not see the music on my NAS (in fact it doesn't
see the NAS) and tells me to install LMS on my computer. Yet I can see
the music on my laptop and play it on itunes.
3. The squeezebox app on my ipad is erratic. Sometimes it shows my music
and lists internet radio stations. However, at the moment it shows what
song is playing but I can't get back to the main menu.

Anyone able to help please?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SBT not seeing server

2012-07-19 Thread dood

update

I went into the QNAP admin page.
Disabled LMS ans re-enabled it.
Went to SBT, switched libraries and it saw my NAS and music.

So the question is why is it losing connection to the NAS?

Another question: How do I create music playlists on my computer that
can be accessed by the SBT from the NAS (ie when computer turned off).
the only playlists I see on the SBT are the radio stations I've added.

 If this is happening when you power up the NAS then it is likely that
 the NAS is too slow on it's bootup and not fully booted when LMS starts.
 You can add a program on your NAS to delay LMS startup.
 
 If the Touch is connected to LMS on the NAS then you navigate away from
 LMS then Touch cannot navigate back to LMS (and you did not turn off
 your NAS in the mean time) then your NAS has a settings issue or
 possibly the NAS has other programs running which require use of the
 same ports as LMS needs.
 
 Playlist creation:  Simply use your computer to remotely log into the
 LMS web UI, there you can create playlists by simply adding  saving
 items to your current playlist.

will have to look into power settings on NAS.

Not sure what you mean by touch navigating away from NAS - do you mean
like in switching libraries to USB?
NAS does have one other program - Twonky media, this is for streaming to
my WDTV live. Curiously when I re-enabled LMS, I noticed that Twonky
media was disabled. I re-enabled it (twonky media) whilst the SBT was
playing music from the NAS and this was not affected.

Will look at the playlists again when back on my home network.
Interestingly I read that you can export itunes playlists and that these
should work on the SBT. I created a test playlist in itunes, then
exported the .xml file to the playlist folder under multimedia in the
NAS, but the touch couldn't see it.
