Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 - enhancement request - further parsing of Shoutcast track info

2021-11-26 Thread Paul Webster


Seven and a half years after suggesting these changes, I have finally
implemented them as part of a plugin.
It includes parsing of SHOUTcast ICY StreamTitle and looking up missing
cover art

It is in my Radio Now Playing plugin that is available via the LMS
3rd-party plugin list
https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?115201-Announce-Radio-Now-Playing-plugin

The parsing is done by regex and is held in a configuration file which
makes it relatively easy to adapt for other stations if needed.
But given that no-one else in the last 7 years has asked for this
capability then I suspect it is just my big itch that was finally
scratched.

The regex looks something like this

Code:


  StreamTitle=\'(?.*?): (?.*?)(?: - 
(?.*?))?\'(?:;|$)(?:StreamUrl=\'(?.*)\'(?:;|$))?
  


which, if given
StreamTitle=Happy Hour: The Beatles - When I'm
64;StreamUrl=https://lastfm.freetls.fastly.net/i/u/770x0/56c8ae3f99db414db15270f6adcc0f5b.gif#56c8ae3f99db414db15270f6adcc0f5b;
will return:
progtitle=Happy Hour
artist=The Beatles
title=When I'm 64
cover=https://lastfm.freetls.fastly.net/i/u/770x0/56c8ae3f99db414db15270f6adcc0f5b.gif#56c8ae3f99db414db15270f6adcc0f5b

The regex is a bit more complicated than you might think it needs to be
because it has to return sensible things when there is no song
artist/title (implying a spoken link).

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Can't access web-interface with 8.3.0-1632725023 (latest nightly)

2021-09-27 Thread Paul Webster


I'm not running 8.3 here ... but a couple of question / observations

The 127.0.0.1 IP address will only work on the computer that is running
LMS so, hopefully, you used a different IP address (probably something
like 192.168.1.5) when you tried to access it from other computers.

I was going to suggest temporarily disabling any firewall on the LMS
machine ... but since it worked from mobile phone apps then it should
not be a firewall issue.

Any clues in the LMS server.log file?

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Suggestion: LMS handling attributes of Programme as well as Song

2020-05-15 Thread Paul Webster


Also - TuneIn sometimes has programme information (
https://help.tunein.com/how-do-i-update-my-station-schedule--SkIFQfiuG )
.. which LMS has access to.

I do not know how many broadcasters provide that programme data to
TuneIn and keep it up to date.

This has a duration and seconds_remaining field - so a progress bar
could be shown.

Currently LMS is able to show programme names from TuneIn because it
takes the first two name fields and drops them into artist and title.
But TuneIn actually indicates what the item is with the "key" field.
So LMS could store them separately from the real artist/title


Code:


  {
  guide_id  => "s112653",
  image => "http://cdn-radiotime-logos.tunein.com/s112653q.png;,
  items => [],
  key   => "station",
  name  => "Radio Melody 105.7",
  preset_id => "s112653",
  type  => "text",
  url   => undef,
  value => "Radio Melody 105.7",
  },
  {
  duration => 7200,
  guide_id => "p1000896",
  items => [],
  key => "show",
  name => "Radio Melody am Vormittag",
  seconds_remaining => 2815,
  type => "text",
  url => undef,
  value => "Radio Melody am Vormittag",
  },
  



Some supplementary reasons - none of which are big issues.
Having real programme fields would also prevent wasted lookups of artist
info in MAI (although it is not likely that an end-user would click on
artist info when the radio station is not showing song info ... but the
display might be left open).
For those users who have scrobbling of internet radio listening enabled
... it would help to stop (unless a new option was added to allow it)
station/programme details being scrobbled. (e.g. like this ...
https://www.last.fm/music/Nachrichten )

True - but there are plugins today that provide both Programme and Song
information - and they have to push it into the song info.
For example BBC iPlayer, and my Radio France, ABC Australia, KCRW and
CBC Canada (each of which handle multiple stations) all collect
programme and song info.

[SlimDevices: Beta] Suggestion: LMS handling attributes of Programme as well as Song

2020-05-14 Thread Paul Webster


When streaming from radio sources it is possible, via existing plugins
to retrieve information about the programme that is currently playing
(or even being listened to via a catchup service).
Currently those details are squeezed into song information (some
combination of artist, title, cover, album, duration) meaning that the
information is not readily able to be presented when a song is playing
(assuming track details are captured by the plugin).
On old SB devices there is not really enough space to show a lot of info
- but on Touch and modern home-built stuff, plus web interfaces there is
room to present a lot more.

So - my suggestion is that LMS should accept a few more attributes (eg
progtitle, progdescription, progicon, progstarttime, progduration) then
a display handling module would allow the user more control over what is
shown.
e.g. Touch-style display could show the programme name and small icon up
in the top left of the screen (even with a 2nd progress bar) when a
named song is playing.

I know that this would mean a lot of places would need to be checked
(potentially everywhere that uses "artist"/"title") - but my guess is
that most places could ignore it.

Not sure that was the reason.

True - but the end-user could disable the plugin (or choose not to
install it if it was clear that it needed internet to function).

Yes - that would certainly fix it for this case.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 - enhancement request - further parsing of Shoutcast track info

2017-01-30 Thread Paul Webster

old topic ...

I've gone for a halfway solution that has the big benefit that no-one
has to install any new plugin ...
The station now puts artwork link into the StreamURL Shoutcast ICY data
- which then gets displayed by magic on appropriate Squeezebox devices.
Does not resolve the artist name issue - but can live with that.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 - enhancement request - further parsing of Shoutcast track info

2015-03-22 Thread Paul Webster

Bringing this one back from the dead because I spent a bit of time
working on making my own plug-in yesterday as suggested.

I used Michael's DRS plugin as a template and I have mine working now
but there are some issues that I would like some guidance with.

1) URL filter
My filter works when I play by typing in the stream URL but if I play
via the regular RadioTime/TuneIn station list then, not unreasonably I
suppose, I do not get a match.
My guess is that I could try to hijack the TuneIn URL when it includes
my station id but they could break ... and what does LMS do if more than
1 filter matches the same stream URL

2) Artwork
I can extend my code to put artist/track/show/station image but ...
wouldn't it be better for the plugin to be able to signal that it is
happy for LMS to provide this and then let it fall through to the (say)
TuneIn artwork finder (based in the artist and track info that my plugin
returned?
e.g. not returning icon attribute could mean that plugin wants LMS to
try and find one and returning empty attribute could mean that (for some
reason) the plugin does not want the automated search to be done.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 - enhancement request - further parsing of Shoutcast track info

2014-06-18 Thread Paul Webster

I thought about something like that - filtering on dandelionradio.com 
The code would then be, in essence, a clone of what is in HTTP.pm with
the risk that it becomes out of date if things change in the future and
probably needing people to download it.
The benefit would the be that there would be no chance of it affecting
other stations that might put a colon in their metadata artist for
some other reason.

[SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 - enhancement request - further parsing of Shoutcast track info

2014-06-17 Thread Paul Webster

Hello all,

I have a request - and have a patch for it (but am not git-literate).
When the track info from a streaming (Shoutcast) server has  -  then
it is assumed to be
artist - track
I have a special case where there is extra info before the artist name -
something like this
showname: artist - track
This is not a standard - so I could imagine that people might not want
it ... but I think that the chance of a clash with a genuine artist name
is very remote.

I suppose that it could be made configurable (to enable/disable the
facility).

The change would be in /Player/Protocols/HTTP.pm within sub
getMetadataFor
change

Code:


  my ($artist, $title);
  



to

Code:


  my ($artist, $title, $artistPrefix);
  



AND


Code:


  my @dashes = $currentTitle =~ /( - )/g;
  if ( scalar @dashes == 1 ) {
  ($artist, $title) = split / - /, $currentTitle;
  }
  



to

Code:


  my @dashes = $currentTitle =~ /( - )/g;
  if ( scalar @dashes == 1 ) {
  ($artist, $title) = split / - /, $currentTitle;
  
  # Special case - if Artist has a non-space colon space then assume special 
prefix and split again
  # e.g. The 60s Chart Show: Beatles - Help! = artist=Beatles title=Help!
  # but should not catch Code : Red Core - Caution = artist=Code : Red Core 
title=Caution
  my @showcolon = $artist =~ /\S: /g;
  
  if ( scalar @showcolon == 1 ) {
  ($artistPrefix, $artist) = split /: /, $artist;
  }
  }
  




To test - play any Shoutcast station and show that things appear to work
as before ... then play Dandelion Radio before and after the change.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Official Last.fm plugin

2008-09-03 Thread Paul Webster

An unproven hack to prevent all scrobbling of remote stuff (as opposed
to local audio files) is to edit plugin.pm in 
home/SqueezeCenter/server/Slim/Plugin/Audioscrobbler
and modify routine canScrobble - by stuffing a return; without the
quotes on the line before # Must provide a source

There are other ways of doing it - but this should work.
It would prevent issuing love aubmiaaiona for the track.

I say unproven because I have it installed on a Vista machine and it
won't let me changes files in Program Files directory and I don't ave
time to fiddle right now.

It would be easy to turn it off for individual handlers - such as
Shoutcast by modifying a routine that is called to ask if the handler
supports last.fm

No great rush.
Adding individual OPMLs does work - but I was more thinking about the a
single link that would include all of them.

If a back-end process walked the list of attachments looking for .opml
then it could make a (for example) wikiradio.opml which could then be

I couldn't find the top-level .opml to point it to - that would then
present the whole of (the changeable) WikiRadio directory.

i.e. that runs throough here

I presume that there is an automated process at HQ that does something

[SlimDevices: Beta] Re: UPnP - Windows Media Connect 2.0

2006-09-08 Thread Paul Webster

Browsing now works for me too. Well done.

Playback doesn't though ... but I think that the reason is that in my
testing configuration I have SlimServer and WMConnect on the same
machine ... and the url that the Squeezebox eventually gets to see is
127.0.0.1 which clearly can't work.

Perhaps being able to configure it to use the real IP address or to
tell it which IP address to use might be the answer.
Very low priority though since I expect it to pretty unlikely that many
people will be running SlimServer and WMConnect with different music
catalogues - let alone hosted on the same box ...

[SlimDevices: Beta] UPnP - Windows Media Connect 2.0

I was experimenting with the new MediaStreamer for the Nokia770 - it
uses UPnP to find music.

So - I installed a UPnP server ... Windows Media Connect 2.0
I put it on the same box as the SlimServer ... and I now see that
SlimServer is offering me the chance to Browse it.
If I try I get error in SlimServer web gui saying:
UPnP request failed, please check the UPnP server.

with the following error message in SlimServer (upnp debug enabled):
UPnP: Error retrieving

[SlimDevices: Beta] Re: New plugin: RadioTime

2006-08-26 Thread Paul Webster

A few suggestions ...

SORT ORDER
Sorting left to right when the radio station name is prefixed by its
frequency might work well for people in the listening area who know the
frequency, but for others or even for locals with RDS radios (I guess
primarily Europe) they probably rarely see or hear the frequency
because the station name is presented ... plus (UK) national stations
are diferent frequencies in different parts of the country.

SEARCH
There are a lot of stations - and Browsing through 100+ in a Genre when
trying to find a particular one (at the Squeezebox) is a bit of a pain
(especially if you don't know the frequency).

PROGRAMME NEXT ON...
This might break the business model for RadioTime - but anyway here is
the thought.
If I occasionally try to find a particular US show - I can put it in My
Radio and then (I presume) it will appear playable in the menu if I
happen to browse (at Slimserver or Web) if it is on somewhere that
RadioTime knows about (in the same way that PublicRadioFan web site can
show when a programme is on somewhere).
However, if it could show when it is next on - then I may well come
back and listen then.
e.g.
Car Talk - next on live in X hours/minutes
(by saying in X hours/minutes you get around timezone issues)
This might mean that I would not buy the RadioTime Recorder - hence my
comment about the business model. On the other hand it might mean that
users might get to like a show more and want to listen even more and
would rather have the convenience of it being auto-recorded rather than
having to remember to come back at the right time.

-(Independent of SB or RadioTime, recording streaming programmes based
on schedule or EPG entries is possible for free anyway - but if
RadioTime has a simple, foolproof and integrated system then maybe
sales will flow)-

[SlimDevices: Beta] Re: New plugin: RadioTime

2006-08-25 Thread Paul Webster

I got a note back from RadioTime support (Steve) - and they have just
put in a workaround to get around my reported problem.
Now works for me - and I now see my personalised radio list/location.

I should have added that they said that the issue was because my
Location was not USA rather than the space.

[SlimDevices: Beta] Re: New plugin: RadioTime

2006-08-24 Thread Paul Webster

Interesting. I see that Kevin Kelly of http://www.publicradiofan.com is
one of their advisors.

The ability to queue radio shows for recording and eventual playback
(for money) is similar to a German offering for TV
(http://www.onlinetvrecorder.com).

Missing though is a live view of the EPG, or the ability to be told
when a particular show will next be available live (for the cheapskates
who don't want to pay for the recording service).
Of course, one can always browse PublicRadioFan web site to see when a
show is on.

Will the new plug-in allow submission of recording requests for those
that do sign-up for that part of the service?

[SlimDevices: Beta] Disabling statistics to help performance

2005-12-31 Thread Paul Webster

I know that this has come up a couple of times - and it has been
reported that the Infrant version of SlimServer greatly benefits from
it (running on low spec hardware) ... so ... has anyone manyed to find
out what they did and if it can be merged into the main Slimserver
code?
I saw that bossanova808 posted the same query to the Infant developers
- but I don't think they replied (either missed it - or want to keep it
as a USP).

I've recently switched back to a PC to serve as my SlimServer host
rather than my Linksys NSLU2 because some parts are really too slow -
but I would love to switch back.

I did download the Infrant code - but it is packaged up for their
installation routines and I couldn't readily unpack it.

[SlimDevices: Beta] Re: Firmware switching

2005-10-26 Thread Paul Webster

OK - looks like I was right to ask.

So - I took the plunge, especially given that 6.2.0 is now out.
So my test Windows PC and production Linksys NSLU2 are now runing 6.2.0
and both SB2 are on the latest firmware.

[SlimDevices: Beta] Firmware switching

2005-10-21 Thread Paul Webster

Just been trying out 6.2b2 on one PC - but not touched my production
server.
As expected - SB2 goes through a firmware upgrade when it firsts hits
6.2b2

However, when I point the SB2 back at production it wants to do a
firmware downgrade.

I know that I could copy the firmware file from the 6.2b2 over to the
6.1 box - but is it safe/reliable to do and is there anything else I
should copy over or edit?

(I know that I could commit to 6.2 - but I would like the ability for
anyone in the family to easily switch in the event of a problem)
