I just downgraded to 7.7.5 to check my statements, and it turns out that I CANNOT switch the Radio back to mysqueezebox.com from LMS. I don't know where I got that impression and it's still a mystery to me...
This said, Man in a van pointed out that switching sources used to be available in the Extras menu of LMS (left pane, under "Music Source"), and I did verify that it was indeed the case: in 7.7.5, when the Radio is using LMS as a source, the Music Source entry under the Extras menu contains two entries: LMS, and mysqueezebox.com. In 7.9, there is no squeezebox.com option. For those wondering why this matters, I run LMS on my laptop (OS X) to have access to my iTunes library on the Radio. If the Radio is using LMS as a source and I shut the laptop down (or close the lid, or it goes into hibernation, or I take it to work in the morning), the Radio will stubbornly try to reconnect to LMS and be stuck until someone navigates (on the Radio) to "Switch to mysqueezebox.com" - so I would like to preemptively switch the source to mysqueezebox.com from LMS before I shut the lid on the Mac (without having go get up and do it on the Radio. Because, I'm lazy like that.) HERE IS A CATCH: sometimes, trying to switch to mysqueezebox.com from the Radio menu option doesn't work if LMS is not reachable: the Radio still tries to connect to LMS as a result of selecting "Switch to mysqueezebox.com". I don't know why (and will have to open a new thread for that issue once I've gathered enough information), but at this point the only option is to bring LMS online with the laptop, switch to mysqueezebox.com, and then shut the laptop down again. With that in mind, Man in a van's screenshot showing Favorites -> On mysqueezebox.com does not change the source of the Radio to mysqueezebox.com, and the scenario describe above still applies if LMS disappears. I also have iPeng which has gotten me out of a bind a few times - I just wish the option to switch the Radio source was still available in LMS. Would the dev team consider re-adding the mysqueezebox.com option under Extras -> Music Source? Thanks for listening, Pierre. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pwachon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104788 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
