    Remote control

    When I go to mysqueezebox.com , log in with user name and password and then click on remote control I can see all my favorites radio stations saved on my radio at home, however, when I try to play any radio station I don't hear anything. I'm using my work's PC. What's wrong?. Could it be something that I have to set up on my radio?.

    Thank you for your suggestions.

    When you log into MySB.com and go to Players, is your Radio listed and does it say "Connected"?

    Is your Radio currently connected to LMS server on your computer? If yes....
    - MySB.com will correctly show your player as "not connected"
    - you can use the LMS web UI for the same functionality
    - player can only be connected to one server at a time, LMS or MySB.com
    - LMS offers everything that MySB.com offers, plus a lot more

    When I go to http://mysqueezebox.com/player/playerControl I can turn on my radio which is at home, I can see all the radiostations saved to favorites but again, when I try to play any radio station I don't hear anything. Next to the turn on/off button there is a window (current player) that shows NIL. My radio connects via a linksys E900 router and a DSL motorola modem, no matters if the PC is on or off. Can you please iluminate a little bit more about your reply. Is it a setting on the radio that I have to change or set something on my PC, although I think it has nothing to do with my PC because I'm not streaming audio, and my PC is off while I'm away from home. I just trying to access my squeezebox remotedly via remote control to listen to it. I don't understant about the LMS server, because my PC is off, unless that in order to access my radio remotedly I have to leave my PC on and set something on it .

    Thank you.

    If I understand your explanation correctly, the Radio is probably playing, but you cannot hear it because it is at home and you are at work. In other words, the mysqueezebox.com remote control is doing just that: controlling your SB Radio remotely. The mysqueezebox.com remote control is not a radio player itself, only a control for a hardware squeezebox.

    If you want to listen to all of those stations at your work pc, you could see about installing Squeezeplay, which is a software player that emulates the hardware Squeezeboxes, although it doesn't have all of the features of the hardware SBs (for example, some streaming services don't work with Squeezeplay). You can download the free Squeezeplay software from http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.7

    Nothing unexpected with that. You are using the web remote to control your player, but you don't have any player at your work so naturally you will not hear anything. The remote is just that, a remote, it's not supposed to output any sound.
    You might install Squeezeplay (download from http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.7), it should output sound, but I'm not sure you can get it to sync with the favourites from your Radio.
