[slim] message for every music play?

2022-02-18 Thread rhenwood


I listen to music radio streams a lot, but sometimes I listen to
individual (local, youtube, spotify) music. I would like to be able to
record every music I listen to. I think ideally I would like a webhook
that is called whenever a new music was played... Or an exe on the
localhost? I'm aiming to make a record of all the music that gets played
through the various clients attached to my squeeze server.

Working from a more basic level, I feel like this is something I should
be able to achieve with logging: Once I specify the correct logging
level in squeezebox, I should be able to : `tail -f 
| grep ` into something that listens
to the info I need. I've looked at logging and it isn't obvious to me.
Any suggestions?

[slim] DAC AK4493 and Picore Player

2022-02-18 Thread philippe1962

Hello,

I use Picore Player on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and on a Raspberry Pi 4B.

I installed this DAC based on ES9028Q2M bought from AliExpress:
Raspberry Pi DAC - R28 ES9028 audio decoder board, HIFI expansion board
for fever 3B+4B 384K DSD

and I am very happy with the audio results obtained.

I saw another DAC from the same manufacturer based on AK4493:
R93 AK4493 – Raspberry Pi DAC digital streaming network player connected
to I2S 384K DSD 128

And I would be interested in buying this DAC.

But the problem is that in Picore Player I didn't see a "driver" for
this DAC, does anyone on the forum have experience with Picore Player
and an AK4493-based DAC?

Thanks in advance for answers.

I'm sorry, but who the hell allows their DHCP server to hand out
addresses in the same range as the static addresses they use? If you
know how to reserve IP addresses based on MAC address, you must be
capable of restricting the DHCP pool.

that's more extreme than usual I think, but a great example.

Another good reason to go reserved IP address at the router is if your
target device is offline and some other device connects the router the
router may assign the static IP address you've set in your player. Then
when you bring the player back online you would have an IP address
conflict with the other device. This won't happen when using the
reserved IP address method at the router.

Re: [slim] Transporter display information from optical input

2022-02-18 Thread garym


Do you particularly need Tidal Connect.  You can play TIDAL just fine
via LMS and the Transporter (just install the TIDAL plugin in LMS and
add the TIDAL app at mysqueezebox.com.  It is not 'connect' but it can
play anything from TIDAL and you'll see artist and track info on the
Transporter screen.

no knowledge of this item. Does it have an optical output you can
connect via cable to the Transporter.  I assume it does. From the
Transporter point of view, if the item produces an audio stream that
travels via that optical output to the Transporter input, it will work
fine.

You will not have quality loss. If you are feeding the Transporter 24/96
files via the optical input, it will play those 24/96 files without
downconverting them.

Last doubt... I won't have quality losses (up to 24\96 which is what the
transporter supports) as it is an spdif optical connection?  ;  What I'm
looking for is to listen to tidal connect controlled directly from my
smartphone and use the transporter as a DAC.
