Great work, mherger! Now I can access all Tidal functions, including
favorites and my mixes, from Tidal. 

But unfortunately none of the tracks will play back. The full category
results are there, everything is fast, it loads the playlist, with play
times, but does not play the tracks.

Playing normal search results in Tidal does not work anymore either, I
tried searching for Jay-Z and clicked on first search result, it loads
in the playback screen but it does not play back. 

I tried on otherwise working setups on Squeezelite-X for Windows, and
Squeeze Player with Orangesqueeze and Squeezer on Android.

Hope this is an easy thing to fix.  

Thank you for this big improvement to Tidal on LMS! :)

Thank you for the reply. I've seen that "ID" field in the YouTube
search, don't really know where I can get that from, if it's something
else than just the URL. But here are some examples. Trying them now on
Squeezelite-X they start counting only for a second or two then skips to
next track, but still display the full track running title. Trying to
play them through OrangeSqueeze, the counter just keeps going
indefinitely. I checked this on Youtube now, they seem to be all "not
available" there for some reason so I guess it's a YouTube problem.
Really frustrating there is no way to tell the video is not available.
As you can see this is a series of many, many videos and this guy's
mixtapes is basically the only way to get the freshest music out of
Cuba, the newest ones are the ones that are "not available".

[slim] Youtube search results "not available"

2020-01-30 Thread echable

If I search for YouTube videos and add search results to playlist, they
will often appear to start playing but with no sound. Counter runs and
total time is displayed. Sometimes, but not always, if I go to the
direct link in the official YouTube app, it will show the video but say
it's not available. So the LMS plugin somehow displays search results
that aren't playable. These tracks are mixtapes, often 3hrs÷ in length,
maybe that has something to do with it. Many other YouTube tracks play
just fine so there shouldn't be a problem with my setup. Thanks for any
help.

[slim] UPNP media server plugin

Running LMS on Odroid XU4 with DietPi and Chromecast Bridge for
playback.

Is the UPNP/DLNA *media server* plugin supposed to work ?

Nothing changes when I install it. As I understand it it's supposed to
make LMS available as a UPNP/DLNA server on my network. No UPNP/DLNA
software finds it, and I tried a few, and there's no settings tab. Other
UPNP servers eg. the excellent Minimserver work across my network (and
beyond, thanks to Bubbleupnp Server, a great setup, check it out).

[slim] Are Youtube URLs static?

2020-01-29 Thread echable


Does anyone else have this problem:
- Make a playlist of YouTube tracks
- Save it
- Come back to it later and none of the tracks will play. It will
sometimes (?!) list the total playing time of the track (I listen to
mixes 1hrs+ usually) but never start playback. 

This makes me think YouTube links maybe aren't static, that you can't
bookmark them because they change?

It starts playback immediately if I search for the track through the
YouTube app and add it, so it's not a matter of waiting for the track to
download or anything (does the YouTube app download the entire track
before starting playback?)

Thanks.

Re: [slim] IMPORTANT: Stop forwarding your LMS ports to the internet!

2020-01-22 Thread echable


Can confirm this is a real issue - I ignored the warnings because I
couldn't find any decent instructions on how to set up a VPN tunnel (and
not knowledgeable about the difference between a commercial VPN
provider, such as www.privateinternetaccess.com, which was the only type
of VPN I knew about, and confused it with the type of VPN server you
need for LMS, on your router for example, I am now using an Asus router
with Merlin firmware VPN server, that you need to set up to access LMS
remotely and securely). Setting up the VPN server takes five clicks on
the router and then you download the OpenVPN Connect Android app on the
remote device you wish to use - export an .ovpn configuration file from
your router interface - import this into the Android device - and you're
done. When I had port forwarding on I got hacked after about a month -
woke up at 5am to the sounds of some sweet Cuban music :) - shut down
everything - set up the VPN approach next day.

I would happily pay a one-time lifetime subscription fee, like I've done
with e.g. Subsonic music server, or even a monthly fee, if that could be
a feasible solution to keep Tidal support etc. running when (I suppose
saying -if- is just fooling myself) Logitech withdraws. Could that
be a feasible solution for what is essentially (if I understand

[slim] Plans if Logitech pulls the plug ?

2020-01-21 Thread echable


Hi

I just discovered LMS a few months ago and I'm extremely happy with it,
far better (with the inclusion of all the streaming services as well as
local files) than all the other music servers I've used. 

As far as I've understood, LMS originated in Logitech hardware that is
no longer produced, and using LMS is still dependant on Logitech itself
keeping certain services running. For example, I understand e.g Tidal
support is dependant on Logitech maintaining a license agreement with
Tidal. 

What happens when/if they decide to not do this anymore ? Are there any
possibilities to keep LMS going or could it be dead any day if Logitech
decides to no longer support it ?

Re: [slim] Hacked! What can the hacker do ?

2020-01-06 Thread echable


Thank you all for your quick, high-quality replies :)

Nothing seems to have been done with the plugins or anything else, the
only thing was that the music started by itself.

I have already set up an OpenVPN setup through which I can from e.g. my
mobile phone access LMS through its home network local IP address.

However, I don't understand how to get that to work without having port
forwarding set up on the router. If I simply type the LMS server's IP
address into a web browser address bar, e.g 192.168.1.100, nothing shows
up. I need to have the port forwarding rule set up on the router for LMS
to show up, and to type 192.168.1.100:9000 to get into LMS. Or have I
misunderstood something here ?

I've read all the instructions/warnings regarding remote access etc. 

I just don't understand how I can get LMS to show up in a browser
without having port forwarded in the router. If I delete the port
forwardings now, and am on my home network, how would I access LMS ?
Because simply typing the internal IP address to the machine LMS is on
does not take me to LMS unless I have port forwards set up ? 

Thank you again :)

[slim] Hacked! What can the hacker do ?

2020-01-06 Thread echable


5am last night my LMS on an Odroid XU4 started playback, I assume it was
because a hacker through port forwarding hacking has accessed my LMS.

The LMS's music source is an NFS mounted drive on a Synology NAS.

No files appear to have been deleted or anything on the NAS. I have shut
down and not yet restarted the XU4.


What can a hacker do through LMS ? Can they only do LMS operations, e.g.
starting playback, messing with plugins or whatever ?

Or, if LMS is hacked, can they gain access and do damage to the system
LMS is on, or on the NAS system the mounted music source drive is on ?

Would really like someone competent to clarify this for me. If the
security vulnerabilities that allow LMS to be relatively easily hacked
are simply limited to messing around with the LMS installation and
services itself, I'm not too worried. Or can a hacker through LMS do
broader damage to one's network ? Delete files for example ? 

I  hope my question is clear, would very much appreciate help with this
question. Thank you very much! :)

Thank you for your post. See mye other posts for how I've progressed on

connecting from the Android OpenVPN Connect. So if I go to 192.168.1.100

VPN server stops working. Any tips re that ?

[slim] Synology LMS - some issues, inc. only package with no response at DDNS

2019-12-03 Thread echable


Hi 

I have two LMS, one on a Synology and one on an Odroid.

Synology NAS come with free DDNS-address, so I have many packages that
all respond at www.myddns.com:1234.

The Synology, however, at www.mysynologynas.com:9002 (on Synology LMS
uses 9002), it has worked before, now the browser eventually says site
can't be reached, took to long to respond.

If, instead of the NAS DDNS address, I type the internal IP address of
the NAS e.g. 192.168.1.100:9002, it responds like normal. 

I tested with other packages that are at www.mysynologynas:5678 etc.,
they all respond like the always have done.

I deleted the whole DDNS reservation and then recreated it. I renewed
the Let's Encrypt certificate. I rebooted, everything. 

Where do you even begin to try to pinpoint the origin of this problem ?
I downloaded Pinkdot's latest Synology package for LMS a few weeks ago,
is it conceivable that something was changed there that now through some
strange mechanism it has stopped responding at the DDNS:port ?

I have messed around with LMS a bit, even though I have two copies.
However, I have so much music and need to gather so many APIs for the
music services I want and stuff, that it is an expansive boring job to
reconfigure a fresh install the way I want it. It is especially bad to
wait for the music file scan because I have over 300.000 files. Is there
a way to save config /plugins and/or the music folder scan database and
transfer it directly into a fresh LMS install ?

And finally, I've enabled the "look for remote music libraries", and on
the Synology, the Odroid comes up as a remote music library. It asks for
username, then a new but different screen asks for password. The
password is seen on screen as typed, it is not ***asterisked out or
anything. Then, next screen comes up like this:

Password 
Search
Home > Remote Music Libraries > odroid > Username (MY PASSWORD!) >
Password (MY PASSWORD)
Unable to verify your account, please try again.

Is this a known issue ? 

Thank you for maintaining the Synology LMS package, it means a lot to
me.

You think Jay-Z with Beyonce and everything has the time to know what an

WiMP, and it's still based in Oslo.

Maybe I'll see if I can find their phone number or address. A
handwritten letter asking for updated APIs for LMS so my dad can still

Good job Herge on keeping LMS working though - I can't believe Logitech
has basically abandoned this, I have tried -every- (believe me) music
server on the market and LMS is so far ahead there's no comparison. 

So dedicated development really stopped 7 years ago ? Horrible thought
that they might pull the plug completely at any time. Or, in your
opinion, is that a real risk or not ?

If Logitech indeed has an employee dedicated to LMS - it is mature
software anyway - then I suggest this employee contacts Tidal, explains
the issues and asks for updated APIs so that LMS can get full Tidal
search results and functionality. 

It is just a matter of asking them I would suppose, of course it's not
in Tidal's interest that through LMS, Tidal appears as a much worse
service than it actually is. 

Or failing that, maybe an unofficial Tidal plugin with full
functionality ? Every other third-party Tidal interface I've seen fully
replicates search results and functionality of official Tidal interfaces
(web, desktop, app).

I am convinced Tidal would be positive to such a request for updated
APIs. Tell them somebody from Norway said so.

The Windows dir command is of limited use because it's only Windows and
unless you happen to know the extension of every single audio format you
have. I have 300.000 tracks. 

However; I noticed to my positive surprise that LMS without complaining
played one of my .ape files the other day! (yes, .ape is an audio file
format).

No response on this? Surely many of you use the Tidal plugin and suffer
the same problems?

Other third-party software that offers a Tidal interface, e.g.
Bubbleupnp, offers all functions and no missing search results. Surely
LMS could do the same ? As far as I'm concerned it's the only flaw in
LMS, but it's nearly a fatal one. Does anyone know a better place to
post this or a way to contact developer? Thank you.

Very interesting tip this, didn't try it until now, I assumed everything
was correct. When I right-clicked music folder, went to "permissions
tab", checked that everyone had read access, ticked the "apply this to
all subfolders and files"-box, then apply - it went very quickly at
first, as if all these settings had been applied already - then it
started displaying specific files and folders names, as if these ones
had to have these "new" permissions applied to them.

Why would this be ? I have never changed anything about this setting.
Could I have downloaded music files that have had different permission
settings set on them already, that they have then retained while
downloaded to my NAS ? Or is that not how it works ?

Thanks for any input.

True dat, I hate my tech reviews, where are the reliable ones  ? This
got great reviews when it came out, it's been nothing but a slow mess
since I got it. Synology has a good OS and I suppose you can get them
with good CPUs, this one has "hardware transcoding" which was what sold
me because I was supposed to use it to store my video library, it's
never been usable for that purpose, basically no files need transcoding
anyway  I've discovered.  The processor is called "Evansport" and
Synology's own Video Station and, unusually, an independent port of
Serviio can use the HW transcoding ability, however, since the ram is so
small and everything runs so slow it's useless. And I paid 2500E+ for
the thing! (including the disks, which are okay I guess, I could get a
new NAS and reuse the disks). The only thing is good for is as data
storage for SBCs, i'm so glad I discovered them.

[slim] Tidal missing search results + more

2019-11-17 Thread echable


I was extremely happy with discovering Logitech Media Server and see
that all the music services I use are there in the same interface.
However, I'm noticing more and more missing, from Tidal specifically,
which I really on extensively.

My mixes is missing. This was a crucial way I used to discover new
music. 

Second, you seemingly can't (or can you ?) add a track playing from
Tidal as a Tidal favorite, thereby forming a basis for "My mixes" etc. 

Third, and worst of all, search results in LMS are severely lacking.For
example, do a general Tidal search in LMS for timba artist Maykel
Blanco. LMS returns two albums "Soy lo que the hala" and "A toda
maquina", plus a few compilations albums where the artist has a song. 

Searching on tidal.com or with Tidal through BubbleUpNp app gives the
full list of the seven Maykel Blanco albums thatt are released. 

Any chance of fixing this ? Is there a setting somewhere for how long
LMS spends searching a specific source that could be extended and maybe
fix these problems ? 

Where could I reach the Tidal plugin developer ? 

Thank you.

None of those ports, they're all different, are ports I've read about

Re: [slim] Guide for setting up VPN remote access to LMS ?

2019-11-15 Thread echable


OK, it's easy but I don't like it. 

On an Asus router with Merlin firmware, make sure you have your free
ASUS DDNS set, then go to Advanced Settings - VPN - VPN Server - create
username and password - click plus - click apply.

Use Android OpenVPN Connect client to connect to your home network DDNS
address and you can from e.g. a 4G mobile network access your home
network using home network internal IP addresses.

Problem is, this won't, at least with default settings, let you use my
VPN provider www.privateinternetaccess.com .opvn file generator to
connnect the router as a VPN client to PIA at the same time (this being
another usage of the term VPN, in this case the router being a PIA
client and PIA thus providing encryption/unblocking/geolocation etc. for
all traffic out of router to ISP).

Read a thousand posts, contacted PIA and ASUS support (both useless of
course), I know it's just a simple matter of a conflicting setting or
two and the router will be able to be a VPN server (for remote access to
home network) and VPN client (for PIA) at the same time. Any tips
appreciated. 

Wiki should be updated with instructions on how to do this, what with
the strong warnings to avoid LMS port forwarding and nothing on how/what
kind of VPN to use.

Both devices have Advanced - Performance - Database Memory Config set to
"Maximum (recommended for libraries with more than 50.000 tracks -and-
machines with 2+ GB RAM). Should that be an -and- or an -or- ? Meaning,
since the NAS actually only has 1GB memory, it would actually be
detrimental to set it to this setting ? Also, as mentioned in other
post, I changed NAS server scanning priority to "-6 above normal", but
left it at default on the xu4. 

Here are the full scan stats from both devices:

Yes, as mentioned, the XU4 uses a high-speed SD-card, the NAS 5400RPM WD
Red disks in RAID5.

However, when scanning, the NAS never went above 50% in disk usage and
never (approx) above 20-30% in memory usage. 

Also, someone please friggin' explain the difference in number of files
found between two LMS servers scanning the exact directories when NO
changes have been (by me, maybe by LMS itself) made in between the two
scans :)

Sandisk high-speed SD card on the XU4, those SD-card classifications are
so all over the place now that I can't remember but I think it is the
fastest category SD Card available.

NAS 4*6TB WD Red RPM: 5400.


Disk usage during scan on NAS never went above 50% though when I checked
(only about 1000 times). 

One difference in settings I did make: I set "scanner priority" to "-6
above normal" on the NAS.

In the end, full library scan on XU4 took 06:38:30, on the DS415PLAY it
took 19:11:59.

And library is on NAS, the XU4 is reading it through an NFS mounted

[slim] Manually restart LMS ?

2019-11-14 Thread echable


HOW do you manually restart LMS ? There really should be an option for
this in the LMS interface but I've found none. It requires periodic
restarts to function smoothly IME, but only way I've found to do it is
restart the entire NAS (which is like a five minute process, and I'm not
sure doing it that way properly deals with shutting down/restarting LMS
itself)

[slim] Tidal missing my favourite function!

2019-11-14 Thread echable


Just realized my favourite Tidal function is missing from LMS: The "My
Mixes" link, where Tidal suggests 3-4 different playlists based on music
you've listened to before!

This is an -essential- function IMO, I use it all the time to discover
new music. I listen mostly to salsa, reggae, and hiphop, and under "my
mixes" there'll be continously updated random suggested playlists based
on what I've listened to before. 

Any chance of getting this into Tidal on LMS ?

Shouldn't be any technical obstacle, I've seen other third-party Tidal
interfaces do it, e.g. the excellent BubbleUPNP Android app.

(BTW: Anyone else with the cheapest Tidal subscription noticed a nice
perk of using Tidal through LMS ? Don't mention it, although I doubt
Jay-Z follows this forum )

[slim] Guide for setting up VPN remote access to LMS ?

2019-11-13 Thread echable


I've read all the Squeezebox forum wiki guides and other web sites
regarding remote connections etc. and it works. But they all highlight
DON'T DO IT, don't forward ports, use a VPN server set up on your
router.

I understand setting up with merely username + password combination is
not sufficient, and I need to set up a VPN server on my Asus RT AC 87U
router to securely access my home LMS server (and entire home network, I
understand). 

This is the closest guide I could find so far:

https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/114892

That guide is far from detailed enough, I don't understand how to test
it or access it or anything.

Tried googling "Logitech Media Server VPN" and variations, there seems
to be no specific guide for this that I could find ? 

Any help with this ? Thank you very much! :)

Hey, GREAT tip about the 7.9.2 build! Thank you very much! I ended up
installing the one from the SynoCommunity repo and am now reinstalling
from scratch the pinkdot build.

[slim] Extreme difference in library scan times between servers ?

2019-11-13 Thread echable

I have one server, and am in the process of setting up the second one:

One fully functioning on an Odroid XU4 (Samsung Exynos5422 Cortex™-A15
2Ghz and Cortex™-A7 Octa core CPUs, 2Gbyte LPDDR3 RAM PoP stacked,
Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.2), scanning entire library of about
300.000 songs w/same scanning settings, plugins etc. took about 7 hours.
This was reading the files from the NAS mounted as a NFS mount drive on
the XU4. 

One setting up on a Synology DS415PLAY (Intel Atom Dual Core 1.6GHz,
DDR3 1GB RAM, WD 4*6TB disks, Logitech Media Server Version: 7.7.6), in
about 12 hours it has scanned only about 6000 songs. This should be
FASTER than the XU4 really shouldn't it, since it is installed on and
reads the audio files directly from the same NAS the LMS is installed on
? 

Thank you for your help! I LOVE Logitech Media Server! :)

Delete and re-add Tidal from app gallery on mysquuezebox.com or try
disabling then re enabling Tidal in LMS plugin settings?

You're right, it just took some time, I didn't need to change any
settings or add the accounts twice or anything, after a few minutes
Tidal and TuneIn showed up in the NAS LMS as well.

[slim] TuneIn and Tidal on 2nd server

2019-11-12 Thread echable


Hi

I have Logitech Media Server installed on an Odroid Xu4, and just also
installed it on my Synology NAS. Everything seems to work fine, the
Synology NAS version that's available is a slightly older version.

Only thing not working on the 2nd server on the NAS is TuneIn and Tidal.
As far as I can see, both of these are somehow set up and configured
through the www.mysqueezebox.com interface.

How do I make TuneIn and Tidal show up also on the 2nd Synology server ?


Thank you!

[slim] LMS Mixcloud broken ?

2019-11-11 Thread echable


On Logitech Media Server (installed on DietPi OS on an Odroid xu4 SBC)
all plugins work, except Mixcloud, that currently returns a 404 not
found for any of the links (My mixcloud, mixes, search, all of them).
I've doublechecked I've pasted the right API key. Any tips ?

Re: [slim] No player/audio out on Android ? Expert help needed

2019-11-10 Thread echable


I think we're talking about two different types of VPN. I'm using
privateinternetaccess.com for encryption/geolocation between ISP and
everywhere else. My router has some VPN settings in it, I think that's
what you're talking about ?

Re: [slim] No player/audio out on Android ? Expert help needed

2019-11-10 Thread echable


I've kept reading that, shouldn't this not be a problem as long as LMS
is password protected ? And also, could anyone then please point me in
the direction of instructions of how to use the VPN method ? I don't
know if I can even use it, I ALWAYS use a VPN
(privateinternetaccess.com), so another VPN to the server somehow, my
technical knowledge atm I don't know how it would work. 

Anyway, fixed my original problem, it was a simple typo in my config,
Squeeze Player Android app now allows me to use Orangesqueeze and
Squeezer to remotely via 3g/remote wifi play from my home LMS!! :) :)
