Must test this again. I used to extensively use iPlayer extras catch-up
on the SB but it stopped working a long time ago and every time I tried
it recently the only thing that works is live stream. All the others
wind up in broken links or one failure or another..
I got a NOS battery pack about a year ago and it'll easily do 6 hours.
Use low-cpu codecs, lower volume and wired Ethernet instead of WiFi and
you might eke a bit longer out of it..

There was a batch of red SB radios sold off by Logitech last year or the
year before that came with batteries, but I think this was not the norm.
It's a nice little device, but I really wish they had given it even just
a second tweeter to produce stereo sound.

To be honest it also sounds like that might be the woofer switching off,
but that would point to a hardware fault and I wouldn't expect it to
only happen in squeezebox mode and not UE mode.

Is there a FAQ for stuff like this? It's true that the whole mysq vs lms
thing is not intuitive, not to mention the apps situation - some appear
on players, some in lms, some nowhere..

It's not the connectors themselves, it's the sensing of connection
internally. Basically until the charge circuit notices that power was
connected, it won't charge. Very common problem, makes moving these
things around somewhat fraught.

I guess I meant "more recent" product.. :)
Agreed, UE is pretty much a dead end.
Lots of issues here. The sound change is very weird, I can't think of a
reason why a codec would cause that, and it really sounds like a failing
DAC/amp/speaker in the radio to me. Perhaps it's just a coincidence that
it's so far only happened on the SB software not the UE software? Don't
know.
Are they NiCd? I assumed they would be NiMH given the decent life they
possess. NiCd would be useless very fast.

Yeah, I'd not looked. 2200mAh is pretty good anyway, so you won't make
much improvement over that.

Mine does this sometimes too (plugged/unplugged extremely infrequently
and very carefully each time), and frankly I've heard this from lots of
people so I'm afraid it's a pretty standard fail for a Radio. I didn't
come across any obvious methods of fixing it either.

Does the battery report as charged or charging when it's plugged in?
Sounds more like an idle powersave setting to me if the timing is

Does well, running a week on a battery. I've also found the power
connector a complete nightmare - you are lucky if you are doing regular
connect/disconnect and having no issues with it.
As you say, a small firmware quirk by the sound of it, but nothing going
on with firmware these days, they
Usually the power inlet socket fails, so honestly it sounds stupid but
waggle the damn thing around a bit. I'd have hoped they would fix that
by the time the last UEs were being sold but I doubt it.

Yes, I have to say, without having actually tested it, my feeling was
that it didn't correctly *sense* that power had been connected, it
wasn't that the connector was that bad it didn't get any juice through.

The reset does a wipe of any user settings so it will revert to ONLY the
default settings for everything, much like resetting an android or iOS
device. If it's reset and still won't boot then it almost certainly has
a hardware issue.

It is, but the radio firmware can only use that stream internally it
can't be sent out of the box. You want the wavinput plugin and an Lms
server with a line in.

We wish.. i don't know the answer to that question tbh. I would guess it

They're great. Problems are pretty rare (apart from the charging
circuit). The only downside is mono sound and no Bluetooth, which is
something most people want these days, but nothing in the squeezebox
arsenal includes these anyway so go for it.

Seems likely the WiFi chip is dead, so when it attempts to initiate a
scan it returns right away as there is no WiFi driver loaded. (I.e. no
wlan0 interface). The rest of the UI is presumably not smart enough to
check for presence of the device until it attempts to configure it.
I don't know if
Does look like the chip is still detected but is obviously not actually
doing anything. Given that the firmware is a flash ROM and therefore
theoretically cannot be corrupted there's likely nothing to can do here.

Ironically, given the DSP profile on the radio, it's actually delivering
maximum bass output from around fifty percent volume upwards anyway. You
might have luck with some aftermarket higher capacity batteries?

That is not something I'm sure of no, it just seems to be a slightly
unlikely manufacturing fault and seems more likely to be a design fault
to me. Something they are likely to overlook
The UE has its own cut down version of LMS available too for local file
playback, but yes it's closed source and you won't get extras on it.
What else is there? Not much. A few manufacturers are coming out with
multiroom hardware but it's miles from the functionality of LMS.
Probably way better
