Description Mickey Gee 2009-07-31 23:38:07 UTC

The user interface of mysb.com does not have a way for a user with pre-7.4 firmware, such as a Controller or a SB Classic, from entering the player PIN to activate the player. I would not expect every user to update to 7.4, and a legacy way must be created to allow those user to do this.

Ugh...please don't. :(

Mickey this problem only affects Jive, not ip3k players, by the way.

Comment 2 Weldon Matt 2009-08-01 14:46:30 UTC

Since, by definition, the PIN only applies in cases where you're registering the device with SN, we should prompt users at that point to upgrade to 7.4.  We probably do this on the "empty player/add a player" screen I'm working on for SN.

It happens.  Sometimes you've got to drop some legacy support in the interest of everyone's sanity...

Comment 3 Andy Grundman 2009-08-01 15:11:59 UTC

Yeah, players will get upgraded prior to any PIN screen.

Comment 5 Weldon Matt 2009-08-03 09:43:41 UTC

If we force-update users to 7.4, which currently is the plan according to Andy (and I don't disagree we should do it), then this bug becomes invalid.
