= Alternative firmware wishlist =

The following list shows some features which would be possible to implement with the new firmware. This list is not complete, neither definitive, feel free to add your own ideas.

* Show the time of day while playing audio

* Running the radio without depending on the Reciva databases

* Support for additional audio codecs (ogg, flac, aacp etc) and network protocols

* New Feature : play stations that use flash embedded players

* Better control over audio: equalizer, panning, etc.

* The Barracuda provides an USB 1.1 Host interface - playing from USB storage device ?

* Accessibility features, e.g. talking menus for the blind

* Improvement : Direct access to Alarm and Sleep time settings form keyboard.

* Improvement : Stable access to Windows share folders, even if the number of files is huge !

* Improvement : Stable implementation of UPnP .

* New Feature : Offer the ability to display as a "ticker" the headlines of an RSS flux.

* New Feature : Embedded webserver to modify the configuration of the radio.

* New Feature : Checking periodically a pop3 account and display the number of unread mail.

* Improvement : "my podcast" feature: Possibility to enqueue in the playlist all the files in a podcast.

* Improvement : Wake up to a radio program.

* Improvement : Offer the ability to pause a podcast.

* ... More here ...

* Why not support for radiotime.com? Free for open source projects http://developer.radiotime.com

* New feature : Support server side plug-ins on web server - e.g. PHP

* Improvement : Clock on Display when playing.

* Improvement : Enable Back button to access the sleep timer control from the playing screen.

* Improvement : Option to get rid of that Damn infantile 'Real Enabled' banner. - Replace with a clock display?

* Improvement : Option to choose the wake to any station from 'My Stations' rather than JUST the presets.

* New Feature : Support for LastFM and Pandora from non US locations

* New Feature : Add usb memory stick and input station, stream & podcast addresses through the Sharkfin interface.

* New Feature : An option to import My Stations/streams/podcasts etc from Reciva to safe storage on the device.

* New Feature : A means of patching the config files through a more user friendly frontend integrated into the Sharkfin browser would be a real leap forward for many - vi is a real headbanger for us not so techy folk! Even being able to use vi from within the browser would be a leap forward.

* New Feature : Is it possible or practical that a radio button type frontend could be used to create and execute a script on the radio? I am pretty sure that some firmwares write to the config files when they update.

* New Feature : At the moment, the scroll control on an IR100 is 'dead' while a station is playing. This is a waste, it would be better if it did something (anything). I suggest that scrolling through the stations in My Stuff would be very handy, and indeed is intuitively what it "should" do.
** I agree with this, as has already been tried, it is supposed to be a volume control, it is beyond me why so many manufacturers prefer the two knob design, as one would presumably cut costs.
** I would say that the only intuitive thing for this to do would be to rotate through either history or my stations as you suggest, and maybe a mode for adjusting a sleep function when an alarm sounds, turn to the required time and press to set.
** Firmware v257-a-756-a-186 allows to use the scroll button to browse through the internet stations. (Currently no source available for this version! Has this been fixed for the IR100, too?) --[[User:Hp|Hp]] 13:01, 3 January 2009 (CET)

* Improvement : "snooze" button as a copy of the "back" button (OKANO TR 2608i / Sanyo R227) --[[User:Hp|Hp]] 13:01, 3 January 2009 (CET)

* Improvement : instead of "shift" to select station presets 5-8, use multiple keypresses (seen on Roku SoundBridge) --[[User:Hp|Hp]] 13:01, 3 January 2009 (CET)

* Improvement : more station presets (e.g. 16 instead of 8), selected using multiple keypresses --[[User:Hp|Hp]] 13:01, 3 January 2009 (CET)
