Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00

2009-06-23 Thread BGU

I've installed Wave Input 1.04 on SC 7.3.3 and have the soundcard set to
Wave Out Mix.  

When playing through the Duet it buffers then plays a few seconds and
then buffers and rebuffers. When sound does pass it is very good, but
only lasts a few seconds. It is continuously buffering.

My laptop wifi will drop from 270 Mbps to as low as 15 Mbps and it will
even cause my network connection to disconnect. I have the laptop and
the Duet on separate routers. When I stop the playback on wavin:0 the
speed goes up immediately. All else is working fine.  When playing
anything else on the duet the speed is 270 Mbps.

Need help with this.

What is SC running on. The laptop or a different, non wireless server?

 When playing anything else on the duet the speed is 270 Mbps.

Does this include streamed music from SC or only SN feeds?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00

2009-06-23 Thread bpa

You do not provide any details of your OS,  your networking hardware or
your network topology (I.e. how are the laptop, player and two routers
connected and what is the traffic route) so any suggestions are
speculation.

The WaveInput plugin uses a small app called wavin2cmd.exe and also
WaveOut the vendor supplied driver.  These are the only items that are
different when using the WaveInoput plugin. 

There are a number of possibilities.

1. The vendor audio driver has a bug or Wave Out feature is badly
configured that is affecting the network driver. 
2. You are using Wifi 802.11n and have enabled channel bonding to
achieve 270Mbps but the network/computer load of wavin2cmd.exe/driver
is forcing the network to stop using channel bonding.
3. You are using Vista and one of the following cnditions may be
applicable

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezeslave 5.1/7.1 multi stream support?

2009-06-23 Thread Tenchi

Hi guys,

Been playing with squeezeslave a bit over past few days while I've been
doing some testing/development on ProntoSqueeze2.

One thought I had to take this from great to insanely awesome would be
ability to support the multi channel sound cards.

So in a 5.1 using the Front Left/Right, Rear Left/Right, Sub/Center as
3 seperate outputs.

Not sure how technically 'do-able' it is but I'd be willing to make a
reasonable donation if it's possible.

Maybe, it's due to any character like ; ou ... in my album title ?

However, it's ok with this ablum :

If you're running SC 7.3.3 then SC will use alternative ports if port 9000  
is busy. The above change could happen if you had some other application  
using ports 9000/9001.

I don't know about Windows Home Server but if it can use a WOL packet
(Wake-On-LAN) to wake up that should work.
In iPeng (the app, not the plugin) you can configure a MAC for WOL that
will be sent whenever the app becomes active.

Please note that you have to use a wired connection to your router to
support this since WOL does not work over WiFi (because WiFi would have
to communicate and thus be fully powered up to acquire packets).

I agree. I just bought this great app yesterday, and that's my only

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezeplay or Softsqueeze?

2009-06-23 Thread tcutting

On the remote PC with Softsqueeze...
First, make sure the Squeezecenter is ONLY running on the main PC (not
on this remote PC).
Run softsqueeze.  You should be able to navigate to the music source
(sorry, going from memory right now, so bear with me!).  Maybe under
settings?  Also, it may ask you if it's not connected to a server.
Softsqueeze should look for a squeezecenter server - so it will
probably show the name or IP address of the PC running squeezecenter. 
If it doesn't, there should be a way of entering the IP address of the
squeezecenter server.
One other thing I don't remember is if you have to open up any ports on
firewall(s) on either the server PC or the remote PC.  If your server PC
is working with hardware squeezeboxes ok, then your firewalls should be
OK, at least on that machine.

identify which one, and also which version.  There may be some type of

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00

2009-06-23 Thread BGU

SC is running  on a Compaq X1050CA  laptop with XP SP3. The network
works fine with SC or SN or local or streamed audio and video. Soundmax
integrated audio.

The Duet controller is set up on a SMC G router (not ad-hoc), the
receiver is wired. The laptop is on a trendnet wifi N easy up grader
(not a router, it plugs into the router) set up with the extension
channel and a Trendnet pc card adapter. I have no trouble streaming
Slingplayer with this setup.

I had the most recent sound card update from Compaq installed but today
I found a newer update from VIA and installed it. It has Stereo Mix in
it. Same problem with buffering, whether through receiver or controller
headphones.

I noticed that I had not turned off SC on my desktop.  After I turned
it off and closed a net radio stream running through the desktop the
Wave Input worked better.  It is not buffering continuously and the wifi
speed is better but still drops to 54 Mbsp.  The stream is poor with
skips and garbled sound and stops when the buffer is low.

I have one desktop, two laptops, a PDA, a network printer, Slingbox,
and the Duet on the network. Everything works flawlessly except for the
Wave Input plugin. My other laptop is a new IBM SL500. It has a sound
card with only a microphone volume control, the only sound I can send
through the wave input is the microphone but it does not buffer and
rebuffer. The desktop has an IBM business MB with on board sound with no
stereo mix so I cannot try the plugin on the SC on that computer.

Should I try only one channel on the WIFI N?  

Thanks for the help, this plugin would be ideal for me.

I'm sorry, I'm only slowly learning that there are several different
parts to the squeeze name. Because there names are similar I mistakenly
put them together.

I'm using the player that was pre-installed with the vortexbox ISO,
which seems to be SqueezeSlave.

Player Model: squeezeslave
Firmware: 1
Player IP Address: 127.0.0.1
Player MAC Address: 00:04:20:00:00:01

Over and over again. Which seems to be ok. Only difference is the date
and time obviously.

Thank you so much for the help you already have given me! I dont mind
digging into these part of the software because it allows me to learn it

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

2009-06-23 Thread mvordeme

Okay. I think I know what happened. Since the firmware update (which was
supposed to fix the connectivity issues of the SBC), my SBC suddenly has
problems connecting. Sometimes it fails to connect to the SqueezeBox,
sometimes to SqueezeNetwork and sometimes to the SqueezeCenter. It
appears that when it is connected to SN and fails to connect to SC, it
connects back to SN, and if you don't happen to watch the display when
it gives up, you don't notice the failure. But this is a problem for
another thread.

It appears that last Sunday when I thought the SBR was connected to SC,
it was actually connected to SN. The same thing happened again, today.
So while I was listening to the SBR, SC was running the idle countdown.
But because I was writing a reply in this thread at the time, the server
did not hibernate when it was told to. So far so good.

Now comes the unexpected bit. With the old version of SPC that I had
modified, SPC would then repeat the hibernate command every idle timeout
+ 1 minutes as can be seen in the log: 7647

The current version of SPC starts to submit the not idle command
again, immediately after the hibernate action: 7648

This is probably due to the fact that now, the not idle action is
also being performed during the idle countdown. The question is whether
this is desirable. The server only shuts down because LightsOut reacts
quickly enough, and it only gets the chance to do so every idle timeout
+ 1 minutes.

 did not hibernate when it was told to. So far so good.
The SC developers just today tweaked the DNS code which may help with
this problem.  See
http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim?view=revisionrevision=27205.  You may
want to try installing tomorrow's nightly release of SqueezeCenter when
it becomes available.

 Now comes the unexpected bit. With the old version of SPC that I had
 modified, SPC would then repeat the hibernate command every idle timeout
 + 1 minutes as can be seen in the log: 
 
 The current version of SPC starts to submit the not idle command
 again, immediately after the hibernate action: 
 
 This is probably due to the fact that now, the not idle action is
 also being performed during the idle countdown. The question is whether
 this is desirable. The server only shuts down because LightsOut reacts
 quickly enough, and it only gets the chance to do so every idle timeout
 + 1 minutes.
With the new SrvrPowerCtrl code, wakeup monitoring is now non-optional.
So, it would be a vary easy addition to the code do disable idle
monitoring after the idle-expire event...and re-enable idle monitoring
again when the wakeup watchdog barks..i.e. when the system resumes from
suspend or hibernation.  That ought to do it, don't you think?  I'll
make that change and post a message back here when I've committed the
code.

Does the dog bark as well when I start playing music again before the
server hibernates? This was the reason why the not idle command was
needed in the first place. I actually liked the idea that the hibernate
action was repeated occasionally, just in case someone else had been
playing with the LightsOut configuration in the mean time.

At the moment, I am not sure what I would expect from a generic
watchdog, whether it should submit busy actions during the idle
countdown and whether it should repeat the hibernate action or not. In
the context of LightsOut, though, it would be nice if no busy actions
were submitted during countdown and if the hibernate would occasionally
be repeated. Maybe we should discuss this with the other potential
beneficiaries of the new SPC features.

 On the remote PC with Softsqueeze...
 First, make sure the Squeezecenter is ONLY running on the main PC (not
 on this remote PC).
 Run softsqueeze.  You should be able to navigate to the music source
 (sorry, going from memory right now, so bear with me!).  Maybe under
 settings?  Also, it may ask you if it's not connected to a server.
 Softsqueeze should look for a squeezecenter server - so it will
 probably show the name or IP address of the PC running squeezecenter. 
 If it doesn't, there should be a way of entering the IP address of the
 squeezecenter server.
 One other thing I don't remember is if you have to open up any ports on
 firewall(s) on either the server PC or the remote PC.  If your server PC
 is working with hardware squeezeboxes ok, then your firewalls should be
 OK, at least on that machine.

When I try that, and go to change Music Source, I am offered 3
alternatives.
1) Squeezenetwork
2) PC2 (the name of the remote pc on the network.
3) PC1 (the name of the main pc which is running Squeezecentre.
When I select option 3, I get the message - Please Wait, Connecting to
Slim Server - then it hangs.

You just need the file SoftSqueeze.jar .   Softsqueeze does not need to
be registered on Squeezenetwork either.

To run it - all you need is Java and use the command
java -jar SoftSqueeze.jar

Once running - if Softsqueeze is on trhe same LAN as rthe squeezecenter

The idle-watchdog would only get disabled at the expiration of the

start playing music, the idle-watchdog catches it.  If there is
significant lag time between sending the suspend/hibernation command and
LightsOut actually putting the system to sleep...the idle-watchdog would

Tell me more about how LightsOut works.  What's the function of the
not-idle message you're writing to the registry?  How quickly does
LightsOut react to the time to sleep message in the registry?

If LightsOut's reaction to the time to sleep message is configurable,
then why not configure it to react as quickly as possible?  Let the
count-down delay happen in SrvrPowerCtrl.

Or, if it makes more sense to have the delay-before-sleep countdown
happening in LightsOut, then set SrvrPowerCtrl's idle-countdown to 0. 
(This will require a code change to allow values lower than 5, I
believe).

I could also make it so that there are three different custom
idle-state commands:

Playing: NotIdle_cmd gets executed.
Not playing, but still counting down: IsIdleWaiting_cmd fires off.
Countdown expired: IsIdle_cmd gets run.

As soon as the IsIdle_cmd gets run, the idle-watchdog gets disabled and
remains so until the wakeup-watchdog detects that the system has
resumed.  In cases where the system never goes to sleep, we could make
it so that the idle-watchdog is automatically re-enabled after a
suitable time out...e.g. 10 minutes?

You could just configure the IsIdleWaiting_cmd as empty...so nothing
happens.  

This sort of approach, while it will clutter up the settings page,
would potentially give you more control.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Accessing Softsqueeze on Remote PC

2009-06-23 Thread tcutting

If you're having trouble getting Softsqueeze on your remote PC to
connect to Squeezecenter on your main pc, there MAY be a firewall
issue.
If your hardware players are working OK with squeezecenter, I would
think the firewall on your main PC (the one running squeezecenter) is
OK, so the problem may be with a firewall on the remote pc.  Here is an
excerpt from an entry in the wiki describing the exceptions which need
to be added to the firewall:

Windows: Windows XP Service Pack 2 turns on a built-in firewall by
default. You will need to configure the firewall to allow access to Slim
Server. To do this: 

Go to Control Panel 
Click Security Center 
Click Windows Firewall under 'Manage security settings for:' 
Click the Exceptions tab 
You will then need to add three exceptions for these ports by clicking
'Add Port...': 

Port number: 3483 (TCP) - Name: SlimServer Control 
Port number: 3483 (UDP) - Name: SlimDiscovery 
Port Number: 9000 (TCP) - Name: SlimServer Web

In answer to how would Squeezecentre on my main pc differentiate?
(between instances of SoftSqueeze) - I believe it uses the MAC address
of the Player... in this case I believe it's the MAC address of the PC
running softsqueeze.  I know that squeezeslave (another software

(usually the MAC address is set in hardware).

There is no mandate for a location for SCPowerTool.exe..it can be
anywhere on the PATH.  

With the next release, I think I will try to detect if setup has been
run, and, if it has, make the help link small and move it to the bottom
of the page.  Removing it all-together implies that can I be
__absolutely__ certain that setup has been run.  But, in fact, I think I
can only be -reasonably- certain.

The 'HasBeenSetup' logic will go something like this:


Code:


  
  #Are we running windows?
  if ($g{szOS} eq 'win') {
$szCheckFile = SCPowerTool.exe;
#http://search.cpan.org/~clive/Win32-SearchPath-0.03/SearchPath.pm
#search the system PATH for the exe file..
$szCheckFile = Win32::SearchPath( $szCheckFile );
  
if (-e $szCheckFile) {
#Move the further setup help link to the bottom of the page..
} else {
#establish the setup link at the top of the page..
}
  ## Various linux distros  OSX..
  } elsif ( $g{szOS} eq 'unix' || $g{szOS} eq 'mac' ) {
$szCheckFile = /usr/local/sbin/spc-wakeup.sh;
  
if (-e $szCheckFile) {
#Move the further setup help link to the bottom of the page..
} else {
#establish the setup link at the top of the page..
}
  
  } else {
#Provide generic instructions..
  }
  
  


With linux and OSX, this is just 'reasonable certainty' because we
really can't see into /etc/sudoers without running sudo..i.e. a catch22.
I suppose I could try running:

sudo /sbin/shutdown -h -k now

..which is a fake shutdown request.  If sudo returns 0, then there
hasn't been a permissions problem...and thus I know that /etc/sudoers
has been correctly configured.  However, if there is a permission
problem, I suspect that my 'HasBeenSetup' code will be blocked until
sudo times-out waiting for a password.  And that would be really, really
bad: having the settings page blocked from opening for 5 minutes, the
default sudo timeout period.

Well, could a setupiscomplete boolean pref be set by the install
script as the last part of the install process, when all went well ? 
This way there would be no need to wire the execution of a test to the
GUI, simply to look for the value of the boolean.
Since the link instructs to run the install script, in case of plugin
reset (setupiscomplete reset to 0 as well) users would be asked to
re-run the setup script, which is harmless I think.

For full manual install, a pref setup via CLI for setupiscomplete
could do.

 an energy manager for WHS. I find it quite embarrassing
that something like LightsOut is not included in the first place.
LightsOut has a calendar where you can schedule up and down times, it
will automatically wake the server during the configured backup window,
but most importantly, it will keep the server running while any WHS
clients are connected, and hibernate the system when after an idle
timeout no clients are connected, no up time is scheduled and no backup
is currently running.

The only problem with LightsOut is that it does not recognize
SqueezeCenter clients, so if all your PCs are shut down, it will
hibernate the server even if you are currently playing music.

The ideal way for SPC to interface with LightsOut would be to register
as another client, so LO would not hibernate the server as long as SPC
signals an active client. Unfortunately, there is no interface that
allows registration of additional clients.

The current workaround is to change the timeout action setting for
LightsOut. In the LightsOut configuration, you can choose what to do
when the server is no longer needed. You can do nothing, suspend,
hibernate or shut down. This choice is stored in the registry and
constantly monitored by LightsOut. The VB script I wrote changes this
value, so when LightsOut wants to send the system to bed while there is
still music being played, the configured action will be do nothing. As
soon as SPC's idle timeout has been exceeded, the value will be changed
to hibernate (or whatever else you choose to configure), and LightsOut
appears to pick up the change pretty much instantly and send the server
sleeping if there are no other known activities.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00

2009-06-23 Thread bpa

To try to isolate the problem source - you need to try to run a few
programs in turn to see which if any affects LAN speed.

1. Start SC running playing a local source and ensure network speed is
270mbs. Keeps this running for all tests.

2. Start playing same audio out of PC speakersas when you have the LAN
speed problem.   Using Windows recorder accessory - record audio from
Wave Out.  Check if network speed changes while recording.  This test
SC running and recording from PC audio.  The WaveInput plugin is not in
use.

3. Start playing same audio out of PC speakersas when you have the LAN
speed problem. Get a copy of wavin2cmd.exe from the Plugin Bin a
directory and lame.exe 3.96.1 into the same temp directory.  Open a
command prompt window and change direct to the temp directory with
wavin2c,mf.exe and lame.exe . Run the following command
wavin2cmd.exe -o wavin:0 | lame -x - audio.mp3 
Check LAN speeds.  After a few minutes stop the command and play the
file audio.mp3 to ensure that you were recording the   audio stream.  If
is just static - remove the -x command probably because version of
lame is not 3.96.1.  This is effectively the same processes that run
when WaveInput plugin is being used.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread

2009-06-23 Thread Basky

I have been using Ipeng with the Itouch and loveee the application!
A quick question.
Remember, how on the ITouch Home screen - if we click on Music and
select Albumns and when we turn the Itouch sideways, we can flip through
albumns as though we are flipping pages. Is this possible using Ipeng
and Squeezecenter? If so I have not been able to find it. I have the
paid latest version of Ipeng on my Touch.

Thanks!

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

 Can't you arrange for the watchdog to wake up when a player starts

 the watchdog after the idle timeout optional.
I don't think I'm really understanding what you're after here.  To me,
it seems like some of the things you're asking for are mutually
exclusive.  So, let's take them one at a time:

In post #782, you bemoan the fact that in the new version, the
idle-expired action was taken just once and the idle-countingdown
action was issued again immediately.  My proposal was to disable idle
watchdog checking until the OnWakeupWatchdog detected that the system
had resumed from sleep.  You don't appear to like this suggestion.  So,
here is my next try:

After the first idle-expired action, I'll ensure that the
idle-expired actions continue every minute until the OnWakeupWatchdog
detects that the system has resumed.  This should be close to the
behavior of the old code that you cited.

To my mind, either of these approaches address the issue you raised in
post #782.  The only difference is that, in the second method, multiple
idle-expired actions may be executed, potentially ad infinitum. 

The danger with both these approaches is that, if the system is asleep
for only a very brief time (or not at all) the OnWakeupWatchdog will
never (approach 1:) re-enable the OnIdleWatchdog, or (approach 2:) reset
the IsIdle countdown counter.

Which method would you prefer?  Both of them address post #782.  Both
have drawbacks.  But pick one, please.

Now, which post raises the next issue you'd like to see handled?

CoverFlow?
No, not yet, probably in a later release if Apple lets me use it or I
find the time to program my own flavor of it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] ResetVolume and 7.2

2009-06-23 Thread Kaizen28

Hi

Thanks! I found the following in the log:

Warning: Module [Plugins::ResetVolume::Plugin] failed to load:
Can't locate Plugins/ResetVolume/Plugin.pm

I must have done something wrong during installation even though the
plugin is shown in the list of plugins. It was extracted to:
c:\Program Files\SqueezeCenter\server\plugins\ResetVolume

Yes, 7.3.3 on XP.

 idea...and a
way to address any failure of the OnWakeupWatchdog to catch a system
resume.

 Not in the near term, yet if it becomes a successful platform - why

I just came across your app and I am -very- impressed.  I would
definitely look forward to a Wpeng or PrePeng version in the future.
