Thanks for explaining the amp vol to me, makes sense. My speakers are
outdoor ones that are reasonably inefficient, but as of last weekend
they are feeding through a Klipsch powered sub so they are no longer
handling the low end... what a difference!

Okay. The log looks good except for a lot of timeouts due to the high
number of requests. I suggest trying a larger volume increment per press
in the app to cut down on the network traffic. 5 seems to work well for
me in Squeezer. Also, if you are looking for more volume output from the
AVR, you need to increase the max volume in the plugin from -10 back to
a higher value. A setting of -10 limits the maximum volume of the AVR to
70dB, or 10dB below the commonly accepted reference level of 80dB. From
what you have been saying, it sounds as though you are using relatively

change the maximum volume of the AVR to 95dB, which would be pushing it

influence of mind-altering substances. ;-)  The LMS volume scale is
maintained on a scale of 1-100, which can be understood as a percentage
of the maximum. Therefore, in your present setup, an LMS setting of 90
corresponds (roughly, as it's not a linear scale) to 90% of 70dB, or
63dB. Using a max volume plugin setting of +15, an LMS setting of 90
would result in 90% of 95dB, or ~86dB which, in my system, would result
in me shopping for new speakers.

I hope this has been helpful. Happy listening!

Log attached. I set the app to use phone vol buttons for vol adjustment.
There is a setting for amount of volume change per press, I set that at
2. Doesn't all work as well as I would hope for, amp volume was adjusted
along with LMS volume, but when I was in the 90's on the app (and I
assume LMS) the amp was at around 60. Up side is that there was no
sudden changes.

Well spotted! You have described exactly what I do, swipe up/down slowly
on album art on screen to adjust volume. I had the phones side volume
buttons set up to also adjust the volume but I found that it interfered
with anything playing back on the phone at the same time so I switched
it off. I may be best to turn of screen swiping and rely on the on
screen vol buttons in that case. Thanks for your help.

It's a combination of both. The plugin caches volume change requests
that are received within .25 seconds of each other in order to avoid
overloading the AVR with a continuous stream of small changes. From the
log, I can see that Squeeze Ctrl is sending a flood of very small
incremental volume changes rather than collecting them into one larger
request, which leads me to believe that it uses some sort of
analog-looking volume control. Squeezer also has that kind of analog
dial in its UI, but I never use it because of the behavior you describe.
Instead I use the phone's hardware up/down volume buttons, each press of
which causes Squeezer to send a distinct volume change of +5 or -5,
depending on which button is pressed. This results in smooth volume
changes without overloading the AVR with network commands. If Squeeze
Ctrl offers this type of functionality, I would suggest that you give it
a try. Incidentally, the buttons on either end of the volume bar in the
LMS client serve the same function, sending incremental changes of +2 or
-2.

Hi Chris, yes the change from around 50 to 90's followed my change of
the LMS settings for fixed at 100% volume/not fixed.

Interesting that last night while using the system I noticed that in
using Squeeze Ctrl to increase the volume appreciably (a favourite track
came on!) the volume increase of the amp lags very noticeably and
therefore appears to jump up quickly to above what is desired. In
reducing volume it does the same and jumps down quickly. It seems to be
that it is trying to catch up but allows LMS to increase about 20%
before it does. So as a listener while adjusting the volume it is
progressive increase with sudden large increases. Not sure which app
and/or plugin is responsible!

Cheers, David

I do. I believe that the app was adjusting the volume higher in a
(misguided) effort to reflect the "fixed at 100%" setting. You may have
noticed that the first volume command sent to the plugin was "100"
which, combined with the max volume plugin setting of +15, resulted in
an absolute volume of 95dB being sent to the AVR, an event that I'm
pretty sure would have caused damage to my speakers and/or my eardrums.

Not really. My speakers are on stands so I could just pull out the
banana plugs on the back. I've thought about how I would go about using
the Squeeze Ctrl app if I decide to purchase it for testing purposes and
the first thing I would do is to change the maximum volume plugin
setting to something like -50, adjusting it upwards from there as
needed.

It's interesting that back on the 9th the logs showed volume settings
around 50 or so. Then on the 10th all the requests were in the 90's.

Do you think this is when the settings were changed on SqueezeCtrl to
100% volume? Not sure what that would cause volume changes to be so much
bigger.

Since my amps and AVP are separate I never turn my amps on for new tests
such as this. Is there a way in an AVR to output to a different place
than the speakers so you don't blow them off the wall?

Thank you for this. I have installed gdb and also some debuginfo
libraries it required. 

I placed the /squeeze2cast-x86-64 in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs
(same as the config file) and made it executable (0777). Then cd to that
directory ran 'gdb --args ./squeeze2cast-x86-64 -x castbridge.xml'

When going to 'run' from within gdb I am now getting this and the
'backtrace' command says 'no stack'. Not sure where to go now..

So if your server has gdb install, you could use the attached file,
unzip it and make it executable, then run

Code:


  gdb --args ./squeezecast-x86-64 -x 
  


Type "run" and when it crashes, get the backtrace by typing "backtrace".
Copy/Paste it and post it (type "quit" to exit gdb)

Just tried local mp3 files and they are the same.

If I select any format for transcoding; FLAC, PCM or mp3, the plugin
goes into a restart loop.

Are there any dependencies I can check? I just cant think of anything
else that has changed? Server rebooted, etc, etc.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng to provide handoff to HomePod at LMS not only via iPhone?

2021-03-10 Thread rkrug


I have one question according to iPeng: When I am doing a hand-off from
my iPhone to my HomePod mini, it works - but the sound is streamed from
my iPhone to the HomePod via Airplay. This works, but it would be much
nicer to have a real handoff, i.e. that the action of handoff triggers a
switching of the player on the LMS, so that iPeng on the iPhone is only
the remote, and LMS is streaming to the HomePod via Airplay and the
airplay bridge.

This would be a very nice feature. 

Would that be possible?

I've thought about that but the volume in the case of the bridges is not
controlled at all through soft gain and the reason is the high level of
buffering within the UPnP device. That would mean that there is a huge
delay between balance change "apply" and balance result being heard.
BTW, it would not only apply for flow but for any transcode as well.

IMO the script would be better packaged as an applet to install for
those experiencing the wifi disconnect issue on the radio.
Then updates to the script(s) doesn't require building a new firmware
release.

Another option that's been discussed is incorporating the detection and
recovery methods from the script within the lua networking code.

I have been taking a brief look at the script to see if its logic could
be embedded within Squeezeplay itself. It's not obvious to me, at
present, how that might be seamlessly achieved. There may be a perfectly
good way.

I, personally, do not suffer the issue that it seeks to solve. So I
would not (today) benefit from its inclusion in the radio firmware.

I think what should be possible is to devise an 'installer' Applet that
would undertake the necessary installation actions. I haven't looked at
the detail to know. And I don't know what "tinkering" options might need
to be supported. This would complicate matters.

The Applet approach would have the advantage of being available both to
users of 'stock' firmware, and to users of the community firmware.

Just some thoughts.

Yep, interesting discussion about Genre here (and why it is disappearing
perhaps), and Spotify's approach.

It could be... maybe sometimes BT is used or Spotify connect.
How do you get to make the MuSo visible again apart from rebooting it?

Thanks for your suggestion!!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)

2021-03-10 Thread humax99


Since updating to Chromecast bridge to v1.49.11, I am unable to run the
FLAC transcode option. The default settings (no transcode) work but as
soon as transcode to FLAC is selected, the plugin keeps crashing and
going into a loop.

I have uninstalled the plugin, reinstalled, erased and regenerated the
config file several times. No change.

Log of one loop attached. No obvious errors?

Anyone else got similar issues? I would try rolling back the plugin
version but I do not know where to find older version.

Do you use other protocols on the Mu-so? If I connect with Bluetooth,
the Mu-so (2nd gen) doesn't automatically switch to Airplay and
disappears from the device list in LMS. Since I rarely use BT with it, I
haven't dug deeper into the whys and hows of it. Apart from this
specific use-case, we have had zero issues with it, LMS wise. AirPlay
Bridge settings are default.

The driver for this is the presentation of more More info under
Material's INFO button - Album | Artist | Track - the INFO button is
ONLY there if you have MAI installed - so are you worrying about a
situation that won't ever exist?

I think this issue seems to be very 1.FM specific and probably how the
logos are served.

I have tried other searches (e.g. Jazz)  with more than 2 pages of mixed
source results and Material worked OK.
I then thought maybe only 2 pages of single source results (e.g. BBC) -
and again it worked OK.
However the 1FM search stubbornly does not show logos in page 2 for me -
yet work for others - so this seems to be a some sort of 1.FM fetch
timing issue.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] What are you using for Android?

2021-03-10 Thread thniels


We use Material Skin for everything and the APK on Android. Not only
does Material Skin have the exact amount of features we need, but it is
also a pleasure to look at. Additionally, we have AirBubble (a very old
app from BubbleSoft) running in the background on our phones so that we
can stream to the phone (for headphones) via Airplay Bridge. Having just
one controller across all platforms is good for motor memory :-).

Would this massively increase the traffic to Allmusic to an extent where

Lookups are relatively slow, as you can see from the artwork lookups. 
Some aggressive caching would be required to not look up the same data 
over and over again. Genres typically don't change much over time :-).


The other problem is integration with music services: I don't want the 
music service metadata provider to rely on MAI being installed. I'd need 
some other means to hook in there.

I was hoping that the Genre(s) would be returned as names which Craig
could then use to create a link to his Material Categories for that
Genre. 
Multiple genres - return as an array of separate values. "Rock/Pop,
Electronica" - both then clickable

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Material Skin

2021-03-10 Thread Michael Herger

I actually meant if ...
Its a local track with no genre - use the genre as disclosed for the
album in MAI - its under Album Information


Ok, interesting idea. Though a bit "expensive" in terms of lookup time.

And: I checked a dozen or two of my "Random Albums". It's all 
"Rock/Pop". Madonna, Dream Theater, Neneh Cherry, Air...


Bob Marley isn't. And Frank Zappa isn't found.

And then there's the multiple Genres issue: Air actually had Electronica 
in addition to Rock/Pop. What would you return?


Next question: how to deal with these genres. Should they just be names, 
or linked to actual genres you have in your library?


I might consider importing genres for the integrated online library 
entries (it's actually a great idea! But time...). I'm not sure I can 
easily/reasonably do it for pure online tracks.
