Re: [slim] Pre-Announcement: ickStream Music Platform
Hi Pippin, thank you for all your effort in ickStream. My home is all SageTV Media Center based. I have a tiny extender box connected to a TV and speakers in each room (no other devices needed). My extenders can handle full digital cableTV DVR functionality, Bluray discs or ISOs, MKVs, etc). All my extender also have SB client support (based on Softsqueeze.jar). I'm guessing as long as Squeezebox Classic is supported, all my Softsqueeze based players will also continue to work just fine. I'm willing to donate generously for the ickStream project. Good luck; and, hope to hear some good news soon! pippin wrote: I would want to add a bit of perspective regarding the device support. The question about which devices to start with is really not one about which devices we want to favor or something like that. Myself, I regularly use 6 Squeezeboxes (plus a number of iThingies with iPeng as a player, but all but one of those are mainly really being used as mobile players and the one exception sitting in a dock currently is my ickStream player :) And plus some test devices, e.g. a Radio converted to UE). Of these 6 devices one is a Radio one is a Touch and all others are ip3k devices (2x Classic, 1x Boom, 1x Transporter), So for my actual listening, I will need a solution for these old devices as much as anybody else here and I really hope it will be there. And soon. However, ickStream is not just a plugin for LMS to replace MySB, it's a whole different system and while it comes with moderate effort to support LMS as a music source and while the Squeezeplay based players are easy to adapt because they use a powerful and open platform, that's not true of the ip3k devices. Putting a software on them is not an option, we don't even have a software toolkit for that (and it would be prohibitively expensive) plus the memory on these devices is so tight that adding ickStream inevitably would mean removing some of the Squeezebox related functionality. So the only way to get these devices supported is by running them as Squeezebox devices and making LMS the ickStream Player. This is not impossible, the UPnP plugin in LMS actually does something very similar, but it's a bit against our architecture which is why it's simply not the thing to start with. One of our basic ideas is to have more independent devices and this simply fits the new Squeezeboxes better, so they come first. I am pretty convinced we will have a solution for ip3k devices, too. Actually I rely on it. But we don't have infinite time and resources so we have to start with _something_ and there the old players simply are not step 1 on the to-do-list. mkanet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7965 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98467 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I'm curious if the intention for ickStream would be to allow my current squeezebox devices to continue to work; such as all my Squeezebox Classic players. Would my clients continue to work the same way? My family mainly uses SB for SiriusXM and Pandora. It would be great if the transition to ickStream would be invisible to my SB clients/players.

Re: [slim] Now the Squeezebox is dead, what would your next system be? And why?
I currently use a customized version of Softsqueeze; which integrates perfectly in my SageTV Media Center software. So, I basically have universal radio, digital cable TV DVR, bluray which are all integrated into one Server-client system. So, instead of having 4-5 different set-top-boxes sitting in each room, I just have a tiny extender box to take their place in each room. I'm curious if there are any new server-extender based Media Center technologies which can integrate (universal radio and music playback -squeezebox-replacement-), cableTV (including premium TV channels), bluray movies (ripped or from BD disc itself on the server), etc. I'm just trying to avoid having a big mess of unlike devices sitting in each room.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Music-Playback now on ANDROID! SqueezePlayer released to the market ...
I think the link you pointed out to us for bluetooth stereo headsets; which work differently than single speaker earpieces. They are different bluetooth services; hence treated differently by the OS (this is true under any platform that uses standard bluetooth protocol). Bluetooth earpieces can be explicitly defined to be used as the active speaker (per app basis). The OS has native support for bluetooth earpieces that's relatively limited (making phone calls, global system commands). I actually have 3 completely different earpieces; they all comply to bluetooth protocol standards and what's builtin to the Android OS. Anyway, I was hoping you wouldnt mind testing this yourself to see what Im talking about. bluegaspode;634646 Wrote: Hi mkanet, how bluetooth works is totally up to your Android and your earpiece.

Currently, it requires several tedious steps and apps to do something extremely simple... to just pick a radio station preset to play when you get into your car on your bluetooth earpiece. Of course, this would require the cooperation of the Squeeze Commmander developer to help make both apps seamless and hassle-free... combining all into a simple radio app/client that can be listened to on a user-defined audio output (bluetooth earpiece, stereo bluetooth, phone speaker, analog audio 1/8 mini-jack.

Hi Gary, the problem You are not authorized... was caused by the native plugin. I'm guessing this issue doesnt happen on newer squeezebox clients.

I've already reported this issue to Andy about 1-2 years ago, unfortunately it doesnt look like he was able to fix the issue.

Oh interesting! So SBS determines my location based on my ISP and automatically adds the channels without any setting changes? toby10;604614 Wrote: No zip code needed, MySB simply uses GEO IP to figure out where you are, therefore what stations are local to you. Sometimes this GEO IP guessing can be very specific or very general based on how your ISP assigns and reports it's IP's. Example: If you live in NJ but use a NYC based ISP then GEO IP may guess that you are in NYC and not offer your NJ locals, or may lump in NYC and NJ both as your locals.

Re: [slim] What did I do to get all my local FM radio station in favorites?
This went way over my head. Maybe I'm really dense, what would explain
that some FM chanels that were added look 100% correct on softsqueze;
but some channels like KMEL looks incorrect on softsqueeze; but look
correct on newer clients. It seems that these older clients dont
display some of these FM Favorites correctly. Howeever, some of these
FM favorites that get added, look 100% correct (such as FM channel KOIT
in screenshot below).
So, when slimplayer exposes these weird display issues and SB3 shows
the same channel correctly, where is the problem? There are other FM
Favorites channels that get added that dont have this display problem.
Such as the below screenshot. So what's different between the channels
with correct text displayed and the ones that aren't on Softsqueeze:

Maybe, this is something that can be fixed in slimplayer itself. The
picture you see is a software player that uses the latest
softsqueeze.jar; only adding cosmetic enhancements (its just a UI
shell).
Thanks for all your help guys!

Thanks BPA. What I dont understand is why half of all the local FM channels display Artist, Song Title, Favorite name correctly; while the rest of the FM channels do not.

It works perfectly for me... all my local stations show up and has full support for artist/song title. The only weird thing is on some of the radio stations, the display looks a little weird on some radio stations. It might be because I only have classic clients based off the original slim protocol.

[slim] Trying to listen to squeezebox audio stream in web browser not working
It looks like from the posts I've seen in the past, I should be able to go to: http://myserverip:9000/stream.mp3 (using any media player that plays back streamed mp3s) ...and hear what I can hear on a squeezebox client. Unfortunately, although, I can see a valid stream loading continuously, there is no sound. I can tell there is a valid stream since the media players I've tried all show that they are decoding a continuous mp3 stream... but, there's just no audio. The reason I'm trying to do this is so I can hopefully have some way of listening to squeezebox on my android phone. It would be nice if Squeeze Commander had audio. Maybe someone has a very easy way of using Squeeze Commander + listening to the audio (which I dont know how to do correctly to get sound). I even tried playing back the audio stream even on the server itself: http://localhost:9000/stream.mp3 but still, there is no sound. During this time, I can hear my client playing back audio.

[slim] Is a a real Squeezebox client for Android on the works?
I'm not sure if this is too much to ask (or if it's been requested before); but, all I want is a real client to comfortably playback my squeezebox channels the same way Squeezeplay and Softsqueeze do on PC and linux based clients. I already know there's a pretty clunky way of using Squeeze Commander along with manually tuning into the squeezebox stream. Unfortunately, that's not even close to being a feasible solution. I dont know enough about java to comprehend the difficulties. But, isn't it as relatively simple as loading the latest Softsqueeze java code (which works very nicely IMO) and recompile it for Android's flavor of Java... only making minor compatibility changes for the audio playback device on Android? Perhaps, it's nowhere near that simple and could require a complete rewrite of the code from scratch; hence would explain why it appears nobody capable of doing this, taking on this task; even with money from Google Market customers as an incentive. I would gladly pay even $29 for a fully featured client. This is the only way I know how to have only one trouble-free app on the Android that can play Sirius Radio (with no lame limits), Pandora, Slacker, Napster, and all my music collect in just one self-contained interface.

Re: [slim] Is a a real Squeezebox client for Android on the works?
Wow Christian, thank you so much for such an informative reply; and so quick! I was scared I would end up just attracting people here offering their opinions/speculation with no mention of actual good solutions on the works. At this point, I wouldnt care how it's done; as long as it's only just a simple app with a simple interface that navigates (and plays back) my SB channels with the option to just default to a list of my favorite channels that can be streamed to my android device with a a single click. So, I'm guessing using the open-source code for softsqueeze on android's java compiler is just as hard as doing the whole thing from scratch. I'm actually a minority here.. still preferring Softsqueeze 3.9b2 over Squeezeplay on my PC based clients. Thanks again for your post! Michael flattermann;567998 Wrote: Well, the native playback feature is still on my TODO list, but it's really not as easy as it seems. I'll probably first implement a stream.mp3 based solution in SqueezeCommander. It should be transparent for the user (i.e. it can be started/stopped directly in SqueezeCommander and avoid some of the well known problems with an external streaming app (like high latency)). But this solution will still inherit some problems of stream.mp3, namely that you need a SBS server with a good CPU and that it will not work on MySB. :-/ Implementing a real player (i.e. implementing the complete SlimProto protocol) is a tough task - ask pippin from iPeng. ;-) Anyway, this is my preferred long-term solution (because it will allow things like MySB access (if Logitech will allow it), syncronisation and so on) but that will definitely still take some more months... :-/ Sorry. Yeah, I tried briefly to port SoftSqueeze to Android but failed miserably. Let's put the licensing issue aside for a moment (it may be possible to release it as GPL'ed app). But (for me) porting SoftSqueeze ended in dependency-hell. SoftSqueeze depends on SO many libraries (many of them will not run Android), that I finally gave up on this approach. I think the only proper way would be to create a completely new Android app from scratch (maybe take some of the SqueezePlay code as base).

Andy, I hope you dont mind that I share with others having this issue that you're completely aware of this issue and actively working on it. Here's the update guys: According to Andy, this doesnt appear to be an issue with our hardware/software; you could have a perfectly legitimate configuration and setup; but still have this problem. He said, -could be an obscure bug, I'll have to go through the code and see- I did think it was kind of unusual that he didnt need any form of debug information when the error occurs. I think he's definitely on the right track... he knows that this happens in Sirius and Slacker only; since we have to depend on mysqueezebox.com clustered servers to reach sirius.com a slacker.com. In a perfect world, the squeezebox software would just access the music sevices directly to avoid network outages and issues like this, less lag time, etc. It doesnt make sense to depend on an extra proxy to get to the music service. This appears to be a licensing/legal-type issue. However, if that's the only way it can be done, then I'm grateful we at least have this ability. It would be even better once it works correctly for us. Knowing Andy's past encounters in fixing obscure bugs like a cyborg, I wouldn't be surprised if he figures it out relatively soon; afterall, he knows the code better than anyone I've see here.

[slim] I dont expect anyone to know the answer to this (except for andy) but here it goes..
Okay, I know you guys are going to be EXTREMELY tempted to answer my question with a completely unrelated question; so, I ask kindly to please dont bother :) Anyway, I have finally made a big discovery in an issue I've had for several month. I always wanted to know why I started getting errors related me being logged into another device (which I clearly wasnt) on different squeezenetwork dependent services (ie pandora, slacker, sirius, etc). Starting from SqueezeServer 7.3.0 and up; or more precisely, the last possible version that didnt have this issue was SqueezeCenter 7.2.1 Interestingly, In SqueezeCenter 7.2.1, I could keep all my music services (even the ones that come from squeezenetwork.com) to MP3 Streaming Method=Direct Streaming. However, whatever happened to the code between 7.2.1 and 7.3., caused multiple issues (possibly related). Issue #1: I have to set MP3 Streaming Method=Proxied Streaming, if I want Pandora to work; which of course, this setting wont just affact Pandora. Issue #2: This is the worst symptom of all and deal breaker for me to use any new versions of the server.. I get the dreaded You're logged into another device, You are not authorized, You are loggged into another location. etc... depending on the service. Ironically, it doesnt happen to Pandora. It an vary anywhere from 3 minutes of playback to 25 minutes tops. Issue #3: The quality sounds almost like it's having a had time decoding the audio with micro-dropouts... just enough to be annoying. Again, I dont hear this degradation in Pandora as far as I can tell. Usually, progressively getting worse I reverted to a clean copy of the latest 7.2.1 build; and everything works great.. song take a fraction of a second (almost instantly) to start as opposed to 2-5 seconds to start (using proxied mode/ver 7.2.1). 7.2.1 actualy looks like a smaller package, less executables, and probably all around tighter in the overall code (but that's just my perception). bOkay here's he question: What steps am I missing if I want to use/install the Napster plugin provided in version 7.3.x? It was very easy to just copy the folder and its contents to the respective place and change the min version to 7.2.1 in the XML file. It even gets loaded into memory in the list of plugins in the web interface. However, there's one little thing Im missing. I cant see it it the listd in the list of my music services; nor will my napster://radio: radio stations work either. I figured it would take much less time for someone like Andy to just quick ly say what file needs to be added/modified for napster to work under 7.2.1 than having to have developers respond back and forth no bugzilla going back to the drawing board several revisions, etc. It woult just be easier adding an unsupported Napster plugin; especiallly since I have it already regisered under mysqueezebox.com. I know theres only a small part left... and since I'm the only one who seems to have noticed this issue, it would be easier to get a fix for this that than potentially redoing a significant portion of the server just for a few people who noticeed the problem. -- mkanet mkanet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7965 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75248 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Several years after asking for a feature request in Slimserver, Squeezecenter, Squeezebox to provide a clever way to support feeding multiple apps with some kind of Now Playing status, without success, I thought it might be just easier for squeezebox to pretent it's Winamp or Windows Media Player when providing the currently playing song for at least having some way of getting now playing to *Trillian Astra* I spent a lot of time figuring out a way to do something with Last.FM's audioscrobbler RSS feed; but, since I'm not a software engineer, I can't make an app which simply updates Currently Playing to all social networking, chat apps via audioscrbler. I think that would be a great idea; and, probably the best way to do it. Perhaps there are other people here who use trillian or Astra which would love to have their Squeezebox specific clients' playback show up in their status. Trillian Astra developers seem to feel WinAmp, Windows Media Player, Itunes, even Media Player classic to have native support for now playing. Does anyone know have an easy way to get this working in Astra? Its hard to believe Logitech Squeezebox isnt popular enough for Trillian Astra to support it. I even tried something ridiculously desperate by putting my audioscrobbler RSS link under Trillian's status, custom message... but doesnt accept URLS. I dont know, maybe what I'm asking is still a little too ahead of it's time and need to be patient for Squeezebox to become even more popular for people like Trillian to be excited to support natively I searched some kind of tool that support Trillian Astra, but -- mkanet mkanet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7965 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75125 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Trying to get Squeezebox to send Now Playing to Trillian Astra without writing a app
Thanks for your suggestion. I upgraded from Pidgin to Astra as soon as Astra become available via beta. I used Pidgin for longer than you might guess; and, definitely prefer it over the last generation Trillian because of the active plugin support... Please dont beat me up for saying this... because it might make you pretty upset, but lets face it, Pidgin badly needs a complete overhaul to update itself for modern OS's; and, also really could use the ability to run in a browser without having to install a client... even Meebo does that. I'll definitely consider switching back to Pidgin; but, waiting for a completely renovated, next generation version (the same way classic Trillian evolved to Astra may take years to catch up. Below is a screenshot of my desktop with Astra... blending into all modern day apps... However, no matter how great Astra is, it still doesnt have Squeezebox support damnit! :) Astra: [image: http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h283/mkanet/2324553.jpg] Pidgin: [image: http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h283/mkanet/eeb527f1ec7a-1.jpg] cooppw02;515979 Wrote: SBS usage accounts for only a tiny slice of all media player usage, and Trillian is similarly (un)popular.

Re: [slim] You are not authorized=Sirius You are logged in in another location=Slacker
Toby, thank you so much for replying and trying to help. I'm a network engineer for over 18 years; and understand some things are very hard to prove without a very good logging system on the backend/protocol analyzer (on the mysqueezebox.com side). I definitely got rid of all other instances of slacker. The key thing to realize is it's not related to just one mysqueezebox.com dependant service. Also, the services I use (Slacker and Sirius) worked great a while back before your backend was changed; hence, looking at the mysqueezebox.com component as a factor. I have seen this issue happen a little after Logitech bought this technology; and, changes started happening after SqueezeCenter 7.2.1 to the backend. Let's face it, there aren't a whole lot of options to work with on my local Squeezebox server; and, I only have two squeezebox clients. Whatever it is, I use two separate accounts on the mysqueezebox.com side for each music service... and MOST IMPORTANTLY... this doesnt happen to simple music stations that use mp3 playlists (which my clients contact directly to; instead of getting mysqueezebox.com in the mix. Whatever the problem is, it wasn't a problem when we used the older backend along with squeezecenter 7.2.1 (which isnt that long ago). Whoever works on the back end should probably have a clue what changed during that period along with the hints I posted. I sure as heck hope, the engineers dont just sweep this issue under the rug hoping people will stop complaining about it. It doesnt happen to many people, but there are certain configurations which trigger this and cause mysqueezebox.com to muff things up. toby10;514822 Wrote: mkanet, ...

Re: [slim] Is there a way to send song info (now playing) to Trillian chat?
I'm actually thinking of the bigger picture with a easy way to relay this information to multiple social networking/chat networks... One thing to our advantage is squeezebox server does a ok job sending played songs to audioscrobbler's RSS feed via your lastFM account. Since facebook, twitter, trillian, aim, yahoo, etc all have their own way of displaying a status message, it makes sense to look for a common standard. ie, an RSS or ATOM feed. It probably wouldnt take too long for someone to make small plugins to something like plugin, facebook, etc to replace the user's status message with the lastest update from audioscrobbler. For example: http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/user/mkanet/recenttracks.rss (Please dont laugh at what I listen to :) I didnt look hard enough for a good solution to do this for at least Trillian Astra... but, I think RSS might be the way to go since most apps/sites are RSS-friendly. If someone figures out a way to do with without requiring for me to write a universal Now Playing app for various services, I'm sure they would be a pretty popular person. Music services such as Pandora already update facebook and twitter... its just a matter of time before Logitech/squeeze community realizes this is something desirable for social networking/chat apps like Trillian. I might be just a little bit ahead of the times... but things are slowly catching on... with people realizing the benefits of such features... -MKANET bobkoure;515043 Wrote: Well, the now playing info is available on a per=player basis from the server's CLI interface.

Yeah, but this is something Logitech mysqueezebox.com engineers do need to bother with. That's one of their primary responsibilities. Eventually instead of having squeezebox users give up using mysqueezebox dependant services, it would be a good idea to at least look into what could cause this issue; or, at least let people know this issue is currently being investigated with some encouraging fixes.

Re: [slim] You are not authorized=Sirius You are logged in in another location=Slacker
I have tried everything in my power to help eliminate these error messages with various setting changes in squeezebox server such as: -Power On Resume: Stop at power off/Reset playlist at power on -Changing the player's Audio MP3 Streaming Method to Direct Streaming -Disable UPnP Client -Server priority= -6 Above Normal I have also added multiple fully registered accounts to Slacker and Sirius Radio (I had to pay more for these extra accounts) and added these secondary accounts to separate Squeezebox clients. I'm not sure which of these helped or not, but the frequency of getting these error messages (mentioned in the thread title) are less frequent. I can't pinpoint what is left to eliminate these errors once in for all; however, I am hoping that Andy could please offer any suggestions that could prevent these errors. I still think it would be a good idea for Andy to take a closer look at the way clients start/stop audio streams; and, see if there's a provision that could be made on mysqueeebox.com to flush old audio streams (even if the audio stream is already stopped on the client). As long as the music service provider doesn't continuing to receive a ghost/stray audio stream caused by a squeezebox/client audio stream anomaly in TCP sockets, we should be fine. All I'm hoping for Andy (I know its a PITA), but having an extra provision to cleanly stop any previous audio streams under a user account for respective music service (that's not heard on the client), it would be greatly appreciated by not only the end user; but, also by the Internet service provider as well. This would also help reduce issues on mysqueezebox with audio stream leaks which can prevent having to restart thebackend (possibly caused by audio stream leaks such as this). Of course, the above pararaph is all pure speculation. Not knowing the techical reasons behind having a backend mysquezebox.com proxy, in general it makes sense to move over these functionalities to the user's personal mysqueezebox server... where the user can manually enter their username/passwords for each music service. This would reduce lag time, less dependancies, less money/time/resources to maintain mysqueezebox.com; and just offer an auto-updater for squeezebox.com server for critical changes. Bottom line, this would also reducethe likelyhood of unaccounted for audio streams going into the mysqueezebox.com abyss due to Internet connetion hickups, timeouts, etc since there's an extra component that's in between the users's squeezebox server and each music service provider. Anyway, please.. in the short term goal at least add a provision to use a more agressive method to cut off any previous ghost/remnant audio connections to the respective music service (caused by TCP/IP connetion hickups not recovered correctly) before starting a new song/station from the same service provider.

Re: [slim] You are not authorized=Sirius You are logged in in another location=Slacker
There seems to be a couple of different issues related to this. The first issue can be resolved by defining more than one account for each music service on mysqueezebox.com (for example, I now have two Internet user accounts for sirius/xm radio (which I pay extra for). I also have two users accounts defined for the other subscription based music services on mysqueezebox.com. This at least protects this issue from happening every 5-10 minutes. However, There is another related issue with the mysqueezebox.com backend in respect to problem; whether the developers want to admit it or not. I'm using a completely different setup than you (using good old faithful softsqueeze.jar clients. This issue seems to happen even in cases where there are only one player. However, any little hickcup; such as a pause in the audio stream; caused by another possibly unrelated TCP/IP connection with a greater QOS precedence (disrupting the currently playing autio stream, is enough to trigger this error message when trying to recover from it and playback from the same subscription based music provider. Unfortunately, no matter how many people complain about this or post bug reports; dont seem to get a definitive fix for this. I'm guessing most of the developers are either dialed into the logitech network via VPN or physically close to their mysqueezebox.com server(s) which would reduce the likelyhood of the audio stream getting disrupted. I guess if I had a dedicated point-point circuit to the mysqueezebox.com server or on the same LAN, I wouldn't have this issue unless mysqueezebox.com server is bogged down with too many user requests being proxied from the music provider source. There are probably settings in Squeezebox server which can increase the streaming buffer; but, could possibly cause other adverse side effects. I only have the default 3 second buffer under audio settings using LAME at full quality and no transcoding (original bitrate from music provider). I also have a high quality sustainable 62mbps downstream Internet connection; which is definitely not the issue. We are at the mercy of a developer kind enough to investigate this issue. I dont want to open up multiple duplicate bug reports. They will either fix this issue or not. I never had this issue before Logitech came into the scene and the backend was changed. -MKA qtech;514177 Wrote: Hello, I have signed up for Sirius/XM online couple of days ago to get my SbRadio online.

Re: [slim] You are not authorized=Sirius You are logged in in another location=Slacker
It happened again. I tried using direct stream instead of proxied audio stream... however, I got the same result. I am certain I dont have any players using this same slacker account. It's pretty straight forward to setup. Whatever it is, there needs an adjustment to the backend which handles Internet subscrption based services. I never EVER see this happen to my radio stations which go directly to the source instead of depending on the clunky logitech subscriber proxies. One way to fix it is to revert back to what you guys had back before Logitech got a hold of your backend services; although, there were less services that were supported. This issue never happened using Squeezecenter 7.2.1 and whatever the backend was at the time.

Re: [slim] You are not authorized=Sirius You are logged in in another location=Slacker
It's actually not slackers fault. Nor Sirius radio which has a very similar message. It's the people who maintain the code for mysqueezebox.com. They screwed up sometime a little after Logitech took over. I've been tring to get his to andy's attention; however, it's not something simple he can just revert to quickly. A lot of changes were made since the time it was working correctly; such as adding more services. There's really no way around this; even if you have multiple legitamate accounts; which tried. The problem is with the same account, same player... mysqueezebox.com seems to somehow leave some kind of lingering ghost audio stream behind after a song change... making the music service provider like sirius/slacker to think there are two songsbeing played at the same time on the same machine. The sad thing is I dont think this is something I can control even on my firewall by killing the older duplicate audio stream since I think the issue is at the logitech backend and they way it provisions audio streams for each music service. Oh Andy... feel like fixing this once in for all instead of passing it on to another backend server engineer by asking for a bugzilla report? I'm sure there's at least been a couple of reported already. *RANT MODE ON* I really wish Logitech/mysqueezebox.com would just get out of the way and allow direct connections between our squeezebox servers and the music providers. This would also prevent those down times when mysqueezebox.com isnt down for maintenance; also, reducing lag.

Re: [slim] Slacker Error Message
I've spent countless hours trying to figure out what triggers this, but whatever it is; its caused by Logitech's backend servers interacting with the clients. This only occurs with mysqueezebox.com related subscription services. Sirius playback = You are not authorized... Slacker plaback = You are logged in on another device, press PLAY to rest... My guess is its something to do with the changes in the mysqueeebox backend servers since they were upgraded a little after SqueezeCenter 7.2.1 Andy, you would probably have a better idea what kinds of changes happened at that time to cause the mis-management of audio streams. I can understand the original reason behind adding such provisions... to concerve unnecessary bandwidth. However, in this case, most of us are just trying to play on one player and still get this message; so, I dont think bandwidth is a concern. The easiest way to fix this issue is to disable this limitation on Logitech's backend servers. This is obviously a bogus error message 99% of the time. Andy, I dont know if you have the power to do this, but it might not be a bad idea to disble these error messages and prevent stopping the client playing back audio until you guys figure out a much better way to implement whatever it is you guys were trying to do, in a better way (or just leave it off). The source music services such as Slacker, Sirius, Pandora, etc dont mind if you have more than one player using the same account; and, in my opinion neither should Logitech.. Since this issue appears to be benign in most cases that this has been reported. The bug report may take a while, but maybe you could sneak in a temporary disable of this; amending the notes to the current bug report until there's a better fix.

Re: [slim] Slim::Plugin::CLI::Plugin::cli_process (627) Request [artist] failed with error: Bad.
I found the problem. I just realized I am using something that calls the CLI very 5 seconds. The developer's response when I asked for him to fix this problem is below. Any chance you can make a little change in the next nightly build to keep it quiet during the below query: Michael, It's a bug in squeezecenter. SlimPlayer plugin issues the following CLI commands repeatedly (5 seconds apart): playerid artist ? If the current playing stream is a remote stream (internet radio) then squeezecenter will fail on the artist ? command and log an error in server.log. The CLI api does not state this command is only allowed when non remote streams are playing, so I consider this to be a bug in SC. In this case the artist ? query should probably fail silently. -- mkanet mkanet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7965 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53110 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Okay... I finally found what I was looking for. Thanks. Just out of curiosity, in theory... do you think Softsqueeze will break/stop working after it's next generation replacement gets installed? Click to install and run SoftSqueeze. You will notice some delay the first time you run SoftSqueeze due to the need to download the entire SoftSqueeze application. Future uses of the software will only download parts of the application that have been changed, if any, and should start much quicker. You may also be prompted to update your version of Java before SoftSqueeze itself is started. kdf;329587 Wrote: There's an option in SC/Slimserver to install Softsqueeze (under player settings).

I'm not sure how to do this anymore. ok, I see what you mean. This happens when there are no players detected, same as what appears under the current playlist section. Since the link was added to the extras menu, I only use that. As I have said before, it's working fine for me. I use it every day. Softsqueeze IS slated to be replaced, but the idea that someone out there is disabling it is misplaced. It isn't officially supported any longer. A version or two from now, there will be no more link from the home page, but I know of now plans to deliberately disable to remove it from the subversion repos. Even if that were to come to pass, it's open source. Install JDK and Ant and you can build it yourself, changing anything you don't like.

Re: [slim] Filing Bugs - Any Point?

All my attempts to get a developer to acknowledge and fix the problem have been blatantly ignored. I even made sure the problem I'm reporting can be reproduced by 2nd tier support staff at (Logitech Slimdevices support). I know that some people who only use SqueezeBoxes dont want to hear this, but Logitech needs to face it that there's still a large number of people who use SoftSqueeze for its significant advantages over hardware based Squeezeboxes (ie, ability for customizations such as support for bluetooth speakers and headphones and remote control with your mobile phone via bluetooth, integration of a nicer interface into your HDTV's display with the convenience of only one remote control, having full access to it via Internet such as from work, laptop on a trip, etc). Not charging for officially distributed software isn't a good reason to blatantly ignore reproducible issues being reported which affect a good number of people.
