A good few years ago, we moved into our wickedly costly, elaborate, restored second home in a little French southern village. What with one thing and another I could not get the Squeeze system to work (nor the hot water, nor the 2nd floor heating). After a very frustrating morning I decided to chill out, and head 400m to our local café for a light lunch, a chill, and - yes - a glass or two of something wet. After an hour and half or so, I walked back home, to renew techno-battle. Just in the little square before our house, I started to hear extraordinarily thumping music, rattling the very cobbles. Our (very good) hunting, shooting neighbor game me some very old-fashioned looks as I passed his house. Yes, once I'd left home, the whole LMS universe had kicked in, full volume, multiple tracks - Fiona Apple downstairs, Beethoven upstairs, Zepp in the garage, John Le Carré in the bedroom.

The MUSE was powered off completely so didn't appear in the lost of players. That would be equivalent to choosing a MAC address that doesn't exist.

If I type
where sh
in a terminal connected to the Pi I get
-bash: where: command not found
I can see sh at /bin/sh in WinSCP.
My script starts
#!/bin/bash
Is that wrong?

so "sh" is the name of the shell command. If you type (on the machine
where the script is to run):
Code:
where sh
it will give you the path to the current "sh" command - probably
"/bin/sh" Edit you script so that the first line is:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
(change /bin/sh to match the where output). Now your actions.json just
needs:
Code:
{
"system":[
{
"title":"Zaireeka",
"command":"/home/pi/zaireeka.sh",
"prompt":"Do this command?"
}
]

I am clutching at straws. All I know is that using Putty the command sh zaireeka.sh works. zaireeka.sh is in the folder /home/pi and the script is executable.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Starting multiple players simultaneously
Make sure your shell script is executable: "chmod +x script.sh" and has
"#!/bin/bash" as the first line. e.g.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello"
Then in actions.json you need the full path to the script:
Code:
{
"system":[
{
"title":"Zaireeka",
"command":"/tmp/test.sh",
"prompt":"Do this command?"
}
]
}
The above works on my system - "Hello" is printed to there terminal
window where LMS is running.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Starting multiple players simultaneously
I thought this would be fun to play with, then I realized I don't own it :( I have an already mixed version. Didn't realize I had that until I looked! One thought to simplify - mix each disk 1-4 down to mono, then mix 1/2 and 3/4 into stereo. Use 4 radios (A-D), setup to use a pair of radios to play stereo. So 1/2->Radio A (L) Radio B(R), 3/4->Radio C (L), Radio D (R) Then you only have to start the two pairs of radios together. But, while I do have 4 radios, I don't have the media Jim Redrum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115927 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

I can't remember if I tried alarms when I first attempted this, it is certainly the easiest method to try first. Sync doesn't need to be spot on, in fact slight changes in sync give a different experience. Ideally all 4 discs would be played on 4 stereo players but I was using a Touch, two Radios and a Bluetooth speaker linked to Squeezeplayer on my phone. I now have another option with the ESP MUSE speaker. I seem to remember the main issue was the Squeezeplayer unpredictable delay so replacing that with the MUSE might help.

Might it work if you set an alarm on each - with each one launching a different CD.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Starting multiple players simultaneously
This is horribly convoluted, but it's the only thing I've thought of so far: Take four computers. Any combination of desktops, laptops, Raspberry Pis, or whatever. Each one needs to have the capability to run a command at a specified time, like cron on LInux. Each one also needs to have the capability to run a command that will click a button in a gui. (In LInux, xdotool serves that purpose.) Make sure time is synchronized on all four. Open LMS in a browser and select a different player on each one. Have the appropriate version of the album ready to play in each. Do all the necessary measurements and calculations to set up a command that will click on the Play button. Would that actually work? Maybe. Probably not. On second thought, aren't there html and/or json commands you could use to do this? LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS. Mostly virtual players, occasionally with SB Radio, Boom or Classic.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Starting multiple players simultaneously
This sounds like it should be an easy thing to do but as far as I know there isn't a way to start multiple non synchronised players at the same time. There is likely only one possible reason for this (that I can think of) and that is playing Zaireeka by the The Flaming Lips the way it was intended to be played. It consists of four CDs which are meant to played on four players simultaneously. A Squeezebox system would appear to be ideal for this until you actually try to do it. I even tried using an IR remote in the hope of triggering all players at the same time [emoji1787]. For those versed in the art it sounds like an easy thing to achieve but that is not me. Any thoughts?
