I'm not sure you really have to intercept every update to the current playlist, possibly just intercepting the clear playlist that happens when you "play" would be sufficient, and you probably only need to keep the single most recent one. I'd be happy to have it saved to a fixed name under the playlists menu.

Nice that you found that work-around, but it really seems to just be a bug in DSTM. I haven't used DSTM but I think I think maybe Michael wrote that plugin?

Re: [slim] LMS Browser window NOT showing the correct track playing.
I was seeing a similar problem a few weeks ago, a boom and the web interface were showing one track ahead or behind what was actually playing (can't remember for certain). At some point I used the remote to skip back a few tracks then forward, and it fixed itself. Running LMS out of git, currently at git commit 184cc480a0cb1acab9fcefcb7ab47489b25a70b7 on Dec 8. gregklanderman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3524 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108769 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] LMS ON/OFF function
Great info, thank you so much Jeff! thoughts on RPi B+ vs 2B? slimserver will run elsewhere. do you think the MCAP is overkill on those amps for an in-ceiling kitchen system? can you point me to some case options? can you post a photo of the inside of one of your RPi systems (unit 2/3)? I think I've got enough info from here and the hifiberry forum that I can just about figure this all out, just would like to find a way to switch between 2 inputs to the amp programatically from the RPi.. thanks!

What SSR and amp are you using? I've had several slim devices (SB1, SB2, 2 Booms) for many years and am just starting to think about building a multi-room system (in wall/ceiling) at our new house using Raspberry Pi's, starting with the kitchen zone. I was planning to use the HifiBerry DAC+. Is there any reason to get a 2B or will the B+ be sufficient? I will run the server separately, and use ethernet. Any advice on amps and in-ceiling speakers for kitchen? I would like the amp on/off feature as you describe. I would like to have a wall mount volume control, it looks like there's some info on the hifiberry forums but no standard solution: https://www.hifiberry.com/forums/topic/hardware-volume-control/ https://www.hifiberry.com/forums/topic/woodware/ Ideally my wife would like to be able to switch between the squeezebox input and whatever is on the tv in the adjacent room (monitor output of pre-amp). If you have thoughts on how to accomplish that it would be most appreciated. If I can figure out the volume control, I expect I could also have a pushbutton that toggles between two inputs (and possibly off), but then I need a pre-amp that can be controlled to switch inputs somehow. thank you Greg gregklanderman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3524 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104084 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] LMS ON/OFF function
Thank you for all the great info Jeff! It may take me a bit to digest it all and get back to you with additional questions. It looks like HifiMediy has a number of amps in different sizes and load impedances. Do you have the regular or MCAP ones? Do they need any special cooling? Do you have everything boxed up and hidden in the wall or what? What speakers are you using? In wall/ceiling? So the control side of the SSR is just tapped off the LED on the DAC+, and then switches power to the PSU which feeds the amp? And you're using the auto-off plugin too. The other option Phillippe mentioned, triggering a raspi GPIO to control a switch looks fine too, I would just have to find an appropriate switch. Modifying and recompiling squeezelite should be no trouble.

[slim] debug alarm on boom?
Hi, I've been using a boom as an alarm for some time and lately it is very flakey, not triggering the alarm a couple times a week. I am running slimserver 7.7 from svn, and have it set to use this radio station from my favorites: live365://www.live365.com/play/wumb919fast There is no indication of any problems in the log around the times the alarm was set to go off and did not, though I did notice that slimserver continues to receive title/artist info for that station all the time, even when the boom is off - should it do that? And the title/artist updates in the logs stop around the time the alarm should have gone off this morning, actually about 5 minutes after it should have gone off, so there are a few updates after it should have gone off. I just restarted the server, it had been up 32 days. What should I look into next? Are there any changes in 7.8 w.r.t. alarms that might fix this? thanks, Greg gregklanderman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3524 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98924 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
