Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Why the need for 2 Server Types

2010-09-28 Thread varunaX
I think the main reason is to have a backup server (mysb.com) in case your pc goes down. The radio still then has some functionality via mysb.com if your sbs server is down -- varunaX varunaX's Profile: http://forums.slim

To add to snarly's comments.. 45 seconds from true OFF to playing sounds about right. But from Standby, hit the Play button, it is almost instantaneous. In some instances, like being in Standby over night, it may need to re-buffer the stream which may increases playback time to maybe 4 seconds.

Just to be clear, you did set the Alarm volume from inside the Alarm settings, correct? Radio > Settings > Alarm Clock > Alarm Volume Radio ignores the regular Volume setting from the Volume knob when the Alarm goes off. -- toby10 ---

it still turns itself back on after a minute - how do I know? - well the volume for the alarm was loud - so I turned the volume down and then at 7:01am the volume went back up again! Also I have had the alarm on since 7am and it has yet to turn itself off after the 1 hour limit - it is now 8:25am
