Squeezebox Radio firmware 7.5: Anyone else having problems with the 7.5 release?
159605
AHA!! Figured out how to upgrade 7.5.0 to 7.5.1.... I had issues with ipersistfile being read only and the install crashing. THE SOLUTION: boot your PC into safe mode, use the Windows "program access and defaults" routine to do a clean removal of 7.5.0 and then WHILE STILL IN SAFE MODE, download 7.5.1 and install it. Install then works like a charm! AND 7.5.1 is also working beautifully. It is a good release! BE SURE all your music libraries and squeezeservers are updated to the SAME version, or unpredictable things can happen!

The latest firmware is still 1.03, I believe. The one I got from Amazon back in June was the latest version 1.03.

I just bought a new unit and not having the problem mentioned. Have you tried checking if there is a firmware update available and apply it?

I have not experienced those issues. I recommend checking to see if there are any firmware updates for your unit. You have to connect your unit to a internet connected computer to perform the online check and updates.

That sucks, Ryan. Maybe when the next firmware update comes out, you can reset the unit through the menu after you update the firmware, and it will work.

install the correct drivers. If you attempted to install more then one driver, make sure you remove all previous installed drivers. http://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/1ycs7w/mac_os_x_programming_baofeng_uv5r_with_chirp/

After a few months of perfect service my Squeezebox is suddenly losing its WiFi connection. Nothing else in the house is having that problem, so I assume it's this device. I've connected it via Ethernet cable, will see if this works better. I have the latest update, will keep an eye on this discussion for hints or fixes. Thanks for posting your experiences!

You probably had the same issue I had. Outdated firmware. I believe that amazon has a batch of these that have old version one software. Call pocketfinder and they will try to push an update out to you. If this fails they may send you a new unit. I purchased the device because I took my 3yo to Disneyland for his bday earlier this month. After getting offf the plane...still didnt work. After discovering my issue via email and phone calls to their support, i recieved constant communications from their support teams. After not being able to update my device over the air. They drove to the Disneyland hotel and hand delivered me a new unit. Work with them as they will do their best to help out!

Max,I got a new HT via A,azion.com and it came from Radio mart in KY. Just way to many of you are worried about the newest version. My newest version is a 5RA and it has the 2nd to the last firmware.But that means nothing at all. All you need to know is here. http://www.miklor.com/ Please join the list but those guys will just tell you to read up in the files.I like mine,it has a siren,the case is beautiful but it has it's quirks. Guys are downloading software but I did mine manually. Some need WIN XP and others using VISTA need to download an updated driver. PLEASE DO NOT WORRY ABOUT LATEST FIRMWARE as i may only be a restriction on what you can or can't do out of the ham bands. I called this pure junk because it is hard to manually program it and at timed I'm in FREQ mode and it jumps into memory mode. Keep in mind that the mailing list is very,very large and many still do not have a TECH license. Use it as it was intended for and don't try making a queen mary from a canoe. Many are still using the very first unit and have no problems http://www.409shop.com/shop_displaynews.php?id=608&userid=100556 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/baofeng_uv5r/ These links will help BOB AF2Q

while the squeezebox seems to be a nice radio, i too had connection problems with it way too often. i went another route and am happier (grace mondo). no, i don't work for grace. the mondo doesn't drop connection often (very rare and it is usually the internet), comes with a remote, the battery lasts much longer, and is much easier for non techies to deal with. i'm not sure which radio is better sound quality wise, but i just couldn't deal with the squeezebox signal issues. i don't have that with the mondo.

Are there any plans to update for Last.Fm? I'm shopping around for WiFi radios and this is something I'm looking for...

There probably isn't a need for the firmware upgrade - I couldn't find an explanations of what the update includes. The table works without it. So if yours is working and you don't notice anything unusual - than don't update. :)

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

I think that the firmware is the latest at the moment of your purchase, the product is working properly for me but, if an upgrade were nedeed, you must returnt it to Darbee.

I just purchased this radio and it has been dropping the wifi signal as well. The network signal shows blue so I'm assuming from miket's post that there is a problem with the radio connecting to the squeezebox network. Funny thing is though I have a squeezebox boom as well and it never has problems connecting like this one does. I think there is something wrong with these radios and from the reviews I have read it seems to get worse over time. I think I will send mine back as well and just get another boom.
