Bugzilla – Bug 14137
Inability to enter wifi password when using the 'play' button instead of knob for right.

MeSue had this problem: I got a new retail-boxed Radio today and I decided to let Russ do the initial setup since he's never done it for any of the Squeezeboxes before. I thought it was interesting that he used the play button rather than the knob to push right in all the setup screens. One odd thing that happened was that it started trying to connect to the wireless network before he had finished entering the passcode. I asked if he was sure he didna't accidentally hit any buttons and he said no. Later on, after the firmware update, I was entering my email address for mysqueezebox.com and it did the same thing--pushed right to the confirmation screen after I had only typed 3 letters of the email address. In both cases, going back put us where we left off, so we didn't have to re-enter text from the begining again. However, after going back and entering the remainder of the network passcode, the Squeezebox failed to connect to the network. We verified the password and tried again 3 times, and it still would not connect. Finally I backed up and just erased the last letter of the password, re-entered it, and then it connected right away. Back in hubby's hands, he wanted to connect his new iPod to listen on Radio's line in. Had some trouble with that. It wasn't making any sound, but then we figured out that it was the iPod's hearing protection feature of lowering the volume when you insert headphones. Once we turned up the volume on the iPod, we got sound. Then he navigated to My Music and got something playing from the local server. He's already familiar with that from using the SBC, but he complained that the play button didn't work to go right after the setup was complete. His feeling was that if it worked in setup it should work the same way in normal use. BUT as the one who filed the bug "using play to go right is wrong" I'm glad it didn't work that way in normal navigation. So should it be working that way in setup? That's all we've done so far. I'll be giving it a good workout this weekend.
Read the second paragraph again. It doesn't sound like the PLAY button was being used during password entry. It sounds like the knob click was bouncing.
Tom: Please modify MP firmware to remove PLAY = RIGHT during settup
Sorry, perhaps I'm a bit confused. Sue's probablem may have been debouncing, not the right vs. knob press. I haven't seen any bounces lately. I wonder what happened originally. Read first comment carefully.
7.4.x milestone is in the past
Tom is no longer available to us
The 'UI' component is being removed. This bug is being shifted to the appropriate new component.
