Is there a quick way to sleep?

[cl@isbd.net]

By that I mean is there a quick way to navigate to the sleep settings on
the Squeezebox Radio?

As it is it takes quite a few button presses to get there and since the
whole point is that one may well be somewhat sleepy at the time this can
be a bit counterproductive.

Ideally I'd like to make one of the shortcut buttons go straight to the
sleep settings but it seems that they can only shortcut to a stream.

To make it slightly easier to get at the Sleep menu, you can add it to the "Home menu" by highlighting it > press the "+" button > chose "Add to Home Menu". From the Home menu you can move it up or down the list.

Thank you, that would definitely make it easier at least.

You can also do what I did: assign the volume button press to be the sleep function instead of the mute function. So one press is to sleep at end of track, 2 presses sleep at 15 minutes, etc. I don't remember how I did it, but you can search the forum for the steps...that's how I got the information.

It may have been this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showth...leep-function/

Other possibilities (also mentioned in that thread) are the KidsPlay plugin (if you're running LMS locally) or buying the optional infrared remote, which has a sleep button.

You can re-assign the mute button (pressing the vol button) for sleep. Setting/Advanced/Beta...

That sounds like the neatest idea to me, thank you.

I assume you don't have the little remote that comes with the battery set. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/speake...accessory-pack If you look at the picture, you will see a sleep button right in the middle of the top row (little eyelash icon). Makes sleep so easy. You can set it in the pitch dark without even looking. I love it. When I bought the battery, I though that the remote was something I would never use. Turns out I use it more than the battery.
