 Yes, please report back on your iplayer findings.

I know this sounds crazy, but I just can't reproduce the fault anymore!
As far as I can tell the only thing that has changed is I've upgraded
SBS to 7.5.3

So, switching from flacs, to mp3s, to AAC streams from iPlayer all
works perfectly. I've also noticed the iPlayer streams are much quicker
to start too now.. really strange...

OK I am going crazy.. one thing that has changed is when running
squeezeslave from the commandline I get this error message now - I've
never seen portaudio mentioned before..


Code:

root@server:/usr/sbin# squeezeslave -o 7
  bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
  bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
  bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
  bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
  PortAudio error7: No output devices found.



However when running it from my rc.local script the Portaudio error
doesn't appear in the log file... I'm totally out of my depth here,
maybe it makes sense to you though?

 Interesting, looks like the server stopped sending data.
 
 Could you build a binary from the latest trunk r227 and run another
 test?
 
 This time just use local music files and see if it breaks?  I've never
 tested ss with the iplayer plugin and I'd like to confirm it's not
 related.
 
 Edit: Please include the server.log file as well.Hi I've not forgotten about 
 this, just been busy. Will compile trunk and
test without iPlayer at the beginning of next week.

I'm also currently purchasing a soundblaster usb soundcard as I don't
know where to start pinpointing the HDA bug you mentioned..

 murkle, can you test the usb sound card anyway? You can run a second
 squeezeslave instance and  you don't need to listen to it for more than
 a few seconds every now and then to see if it still is audible.  Just
 create a quick play list, turn on repeat all and let it play.  I'd like
 to know if it truely is the HDA driver.

Me too.. running the test now

So it took ages for anything to happen, but when I switched to a BBC
iPlayer programme, I suddenly heard  single distorted tone, and lots of
pa_callback: SLIMAUDIO_BUFFER_STREAM_UNDERRUN appeared in the log.

Have attached it if it helps at all.

 Thanks so much for looking at this..

Well it turns out my external sound card is utter crap! Distorted sound
all the time. I'll stick with the onboard and possibly see if I can make
progress with it. Another option is to buy a better USB card, will do
some research and see if I can stretch to buying one.

I also agree with the post above, SqueezeSlave is brilliant, and
exactly what I need in my setup!

 Yes, I see buffer underruns which would explain the silence.
 
 I've seen this before and it turned out to be a bug in the alsa sound
 card driver.  It was the HDA Intel driver, which it looks like your
 using as well.
 
 Do you have a usb sound card?  If so, plug it in and try pointing
 squeezeslave to it using the -o option with the number from -L and see
 if you have the same issue.  I was never able to work around the bug
 and I now use a usb sound card on that system.

Hi running 7.5.2 now, same problem though ONLY if I run as a daemon.
Running squeezeslave in a terminal meant that the problem couldn't be

Sorry about this, the problem is actually also happening when I'm NOT
running it with the -M switch - so disregard my last post.

Was there anything useful in the logs?

 With linux this issue is almost always related to system library

 Please compile squeezeslave on your linux system and try again.
 You'll find detailed build instructions in the wiki.  See the first
 post of this thread for the link.

Hi, just successfully built my own binary, but the exact same problem
is happening. Happy to provide logs, any particular levels that are

2010-12-26 Thread murkle

I'm having a recurring problem where squeezeslave sometimes refuses to
output any audio. This only every happens at track changes, never
during a song. I'm running:

r...@server:~# /usr/sbin/squeezeslave --version
squeezeslave 1.0-210 Oct 31 2010 18:59:32
compile flags: linux portaudio:1541 debug signals interactive daemon 
buffer sizes: decoder 2097152 output 2822400 bytes

Happy to provide debug logs, but is there a particular debug level you
think would be most useful, or just 'all'?

I have a full debug log, but it's 5MB, as it took me 10 or so track
changes to cause the bug. Uploading now..

Re: [slim] Selecting multiple squeecenters / squeezenetwork

should this be an option on squeezeplay-7.6 ?
There is no 'Music Source' item in my Settings menu, but I'd love to be
able to switch servers as easily as this.

But thanks! The option is there in 'My Music  Switch Library' on

FYI There is no 'Settings  Advanced  Networking  Music Source' menu

No worries :)

Actually I think I found what you mean, there is 'Settings  Advanced 
Networking  Add Library' then a prompt with a keyboard with only
numerals. So I presume that's where I can add the IP of the other
squeezeboxserver - fortunately it's recognized automagically and
available from 'My Music  Switch Library'

thanks for the cluestick
