[SlimDevices: Plugins] Biography and HTML::Format text problem

2008-12-30 Thread erland

Michael, I have a problem with the Biography plugin, I'm using svn
version of SqueezeCenter on Ubuntu Linux.

The problem is that it doesn't work when installed through Extension
Downloader due to the fact that HTML::Format text is missing, I get
messages like:
Slim::Networking::IO::Select::select (271) Error: Select task failed:
Can't locate object method "new" via package "HTML::FormatText" at
Plugins/Biography/Plugin.pm line 560.

The problem is that I can't install the MHCPAN module (which contains
HTML::FormatText) through Extension Downloader for two reasons:
1. maxVersion is set to 7.2 fo MHCPAN in the repository xml and I'm
using 7.3
2. target is set to windows for MHCPAN in the repository xml and I'm
using Linux

If I install MHCPAN.zip manually in Plugins directory everything works
correctly.

Is there a reason why the HTML::FormatText module can't be included in
the lib directory in the Biography plugin, why does it have to be a
separate package ?

I don't know perl but, looking through the code I cannot see anything
which handles days of the year.  So, I guess that it's a year-end
problem, with handling forecasts for the following days.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New WeatherTime Screensaver adds graphical forecasts

2008-12-30 Thread peterbell

I woke up this morning and found that WeatherTime has stopped working -
the SB3 display shows "NO FORECAST AVAILABLE".

On investigating, I see that, since midnight, the log file shows:
> [08-12-31 00:05:36.8473] Slim::Utils::Misc::msg (1126) Warning:
> [00:05:36.8466] Not an ARRAY reference at Weather/Wunderground.pm line
> 223.

I guess that this is some sort of problem with date handling (perhaps
because this is the 366th day of the year?)

Hopefully all will be well again tomorrow, and the problem won't occur
for another four years, but it would be good to have it fixed!

I'm not so sure, the reason the master stores the state is so that
synced players always work correctly regardless of which player is
being controlled.  If you remove this most all core plugins will not
work properly when synced.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Help needed from other Inguz users

2008-12-30 Thread tonyptony

Hi all. Long time SB and Inguz user. I migrated to 7.3 but dropped back
to 7.2.1 when I found out that the transcoding change broke Inguz. Hugh
posted a Testversion #3 of Inguz (on his site), meant to work better
with SC. But I've noticed with it and SC 7.2.1 that the Test Signals
(Pink Noise etc) no longer work. I'd like to know if anyone else using
7.2.1 has a fully functioning Inguz plugin, including the test signals
- and if so what version of Inguz they are using.

I posted this on Hugh's site but so far have no response.

Here's what I got out of the Inguz log.txt

You are correct as far as I know. I used the workaround happily under
7.2 but am not able to get sound out of 7.3. I can log in with the XM
plugin, and connect, but no sound. I think these are everyone's general
symptoms.

I have a SB3 but no controller, so I think I might go back to 7.2 just
for the XM plugin. Are there features of 7.3 besides the Duet support
that I should consider?

The posted edit appears to remove the scrobbling function without
further consequence - thanks much for the timely reply.

If you have the chance, I would be interested in a related edit to the
plugin's configs that would allow scrobbling to be turned off for
specific channels.  I'm sure I'm not the only one that would rather
keep the talk radio and sports content separate from our last.fm music

Thanks again for the great work in improving the stability and function

You're right, with a typical user with 1 or 2 players it won't be a big
deal.  You should still think about removing the globals, as it makes

Could you say more about the memory leak concern? I can't imagine a
problem in a typical SqueezeCenter setup, though I think I can imagine
the problem in SqueezeNetwork. In SqueezeCenter, with the normal
$hashVar{$client->id()} approach, %hashVar could only grow as new
players connected, and if you're not allowing public access to
/stream.mp3, the list of client ID values should be not only a finite
set, but also pretty small -- right? In SqueezeNetwork, with tens of
thousands of $client->id() values, sure, I see the need for garbage
collection, and the merit of having the GC bulit into Client.pm instead
of subscribing to client disconnect events and writing per-plugin GC
routines. But in SqueezeCenter, with the only same few MAC address IDs
use, is memory leakage with $hashVar{$client->id()} a real problem?

1) In most of my plugins, I think I'd want per-client data pools, not
per sync group.

2) Couldn't pluginData() -- with its current
masterOrSelf()/$client->master() behavior -- lead to other
hard-to-trace bugs? Plugin starts doing something while a player is
synced, uses $client->pluginData('foo'), then when the player unsyncs,
$client->pluginData('foo') suddenly doesn't have the old data? ISTM
it'd be better to make a new API without that "$client =
$client->master();" logic so developers can choose the behavior they
want.

As it stands now, not only do I not understand why
$hashVar{$client->id()} is a problem in SqueezeCenter, I don't think I
could use $client->pluginData to replace my use of things like
$hashVar{$client->id()} unless/until you provide a new API like
$client->pluginData that doesn't have the $client->master() behavior.
And even then I wouldn't *want* to use it, as currently all my plugins
support 7.0+ -- if you changed pluginData or made a new API, I'd have
to stop supporting older versions of SC in order to start using the new
API. :-(

Thanks,

Peter

The log level set to DEBUG will not do anything different - just logs a

I recreated the problem once, then I removed the manual tune from my

I agree but there is a lot to learn about writing an applet for
Controller (and not many examples which can be altered) so I have to
make sure I have the time.

There is more of a need now that SqueezePlay is becoming available on
platforms.

Adding support for FindArt while browsing needs an SC server mod which
won't be in an official release until 7.3.2.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SharkPlay plugin - radioSHARK player

2008-12-30 Thread bpa

Power on Resume - is in Settings/Player / Audio  - there is a different
setting for each player.

Do you use the manual Tune-in ?
Is the Manual Tune-in top of the Sharkplay menu ?

Can you enable logging for the SharkPlayer plugin and capture a
session.

1. set Settings/Advanced/Logging plugin.sharkplay to DEBUG
2. Do your 11:59 test and then stop SharkPlay.
3. Copy log entries ( see Settings/Information - bottom of page ) from
11.59 onwards.

It's odd but I wonder if the windows on "F:" has meant some code has
gone astray.

BPA, I too use this plugin and find it very useful!

I also experience the coverart problem but clearing the database and
rescaning nightly seems to work ok.

I too would like the ability to find cover art while browsing the
library, but it's no big deal waiting until I play the track.

A really good addition would be adding support for the plugin from the
Controller. 

All in all a great plugin though!!

Interesting thread!
But I think this problem is slightly different.
It wakes up at exactly 12:00am and starts playing the shark player.
Doesn't matter whether last play was using my server, squeezenetwork,
or another service like Sirius Internet Radio. Always wakes up and
start playing the radio shark.

I just did the following:
- played a song from my home server
- turned off SqueezeBoom
- set my server clock to 11:59pm 
- waited 1 minute
- SqueezeBoom turned on at 12:00am and starting playing RadioShark with
Now Playing showing "shark://{QUERY}?Title="  

Where do I find Power on Resume?

I think this is due to a change in the -x parameter setting within
lame.   The use was inverted and developers corrected it.  IIRC it
changed between version 3.96 and 3.98 of lame.

This may be due to Roku M1001 SB1 emulation which has some buffering
problems. If no data is sent to Roku within 6 secs of "start track" it
will not play anything. I think the audio start time forces some MP3
"silence" to be sent to player immediately and so keeps Roku happy
until real data starts streaming.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC 7.3 version - beta trial

2008-12-30 Thread jdavies

I have SqueezeCenter (7.3.2) and AlienBBC (v2.4a4-7.3) on Windows Vista.
I also have Lame.exe (3.98.2) in the same folder as mplayer.exe.  I
have an SB1 player (actually, its a Roku Soundbridge M1001).  It all
works beautifully to play the BBC live and listen again streams. 
Thanks bpa and Triode!  

To get it to work, however, I had to do two things -- that are the
reasons for this post:  

1.  I had to remove the lame "-x" param from the custom-convert.conf
file (in the rtsp mp3 line).  Simply changing it to "$-x$" did not
work.  With the "-x" param, all I got from the BBC was static.  I had
to do this again when I upgraded the AlienBBC to v2.4a4 because the
custom-convert.conf file was overwritten.  By the way, removing the
"-x" param was not necessary with Lame 3.97.  

2.  Also, I had to set the "audio start time" in the SqueezeCenter to
10 (rather than 0).  Otherwise, the live BBC streams would not play
(the listen again streams would play but not the live streams).  I'm
guessing its a buffering problem.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Plugin for saving Artist info from Sirius Radio?

2008-12-30 Thread satmarshall

I just started using the Sirius radio plugin and was wondering if there
was an addon for saving artist information to a text file?
It would be nice to be able to save (on-demand) artist and album
information to a text file that can be viewed later when making music
purchases. I know the Amazon plugin exists for impulse purchases but I
don't always want to buy from them.

I'm having a weird issue on 2 of 4 squeeze devices.  Nightly at 12:00am
the SB turns on and tunes to a Shark radio station. Actually it's
starts up in the manual tune mode. Niether SB has any alarms enabled. 

It was only happening on one device until yesterday. It starting
happening on my SqueezeBoom devcie too after I changed my network
router and had to setup the SqueezeBoom from scratch.

Any ideas?

Yes.  Idle==no players playing.  A player doesn't need to be "off",
just not actively playing; paused equals "not playing" in this context.
If SrvrPowerCtrl's "Monitor Idle Players" feature is selected, the
plugin polls all the players every minute.  Once it sees that no
players are playing, is starts counting down each minute until the
"allowed idle time" (defaults to 45 minutes) is reached.  Then the
"idle action" selected gets performed.

takes no action if this is true.   But SrvrPowerCtrl continues to check
every minute.  So, once the music scan is complete, SrvrPowerCtrl starts
its countdown again and will eventually perform the
shutdown/standby/etc.

SqueezeCenter and SrvrPowerCtrl really don't interact with XP's power
settings other than the fact that SC's built-in PreventStandby plugin
prevents XP from (I believe) EVER putting the system into standby. I.E.
SC's PreventStandby plugin should totally defeat any XP power scheme
standby/hibernate settings. (I need to check this, but I believe that
this is how PreventStandby works.)

SrvrPowerCtrl is essentially a power management system that operates in
parallel to XP's power management schemes.  Two areas that SrvrPowerCtrl
doesn't address and where XP's PM system will still take precedence are:
1). dpms monitor turn-off and 2). idle hard disk spin-down.

monitor: players have to be idle (not playing) for the EOD action to be
performed.  If you really want a firm "shutdown at this time no matter
what" policy on your server, I suggest you add a scheduled task
(Control Panel->Performance and maintenance->Scheduled Tasks) which
calls psshutdown.exe with the appropriate cmd line args.

Well, I solved the long wait time for New Albums by adding "limit 0, 15"
to the SQL statement to only return the top 15 newest albums. This cut
down my wait from about 12 seconds to 1.

I will take a look at the SQL and Perl for the Artists menu and see if
I can find anything to optimize it.

Changing the install.xml no longer seems to work with the latest 7.3.1

work?  Should specifying maxversion of '7.3+' work??

Is this hosted on a repo somewhere for 7.3 extension downloader?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl

2008-12-30 Thread ppmoore

I've started using this plugin under Windows XP, and it does everything
I need. Congratulations to all and many thanks for the hard work!

I have three more questions:
- Excuse this newbie's ignorance, when you speak of Idle mode on the
SB, do you mean the situation where it is not being used to play music
or a radio station? This is what I have observed: the SC's host machine
is not stopped or suspended when the SB is active.
- Is the configured Shutdown/Suspend action postponed or cancelled if a
rescan of the music folder is in progress, whether initiated from the SC
or from the SB? If so, I suppose that the action configured under XP's
power setting takes precedence in this case? That is, I should ensure
that XP's power settings kick in after the rescan is finished.
- I don't fully understand the "Perform end-of-day action". Can this be
configured so that, for example at 2am, even if the SB is not in Idle
mode, a forced shutdown/suspend of the SC machine is done. This will
ensure that the host SC machine is always stopped or suspended during
night hours, even if I forget to first set the SB to Idle mode.

Thanks again,
Paul
