 Many many thanks to those of you who have been working to put together a
 workaround but I feel it needs to be sorted by Logitech.

I think you are a bit hard on Logitech. Mountain Lion introduced a new
sleep policy (hard drive activity is ignored in resetting the sleep
timer, only keyboard or mouse activity counts) that might not have made
it into the final version of ML, so it wasn't really something to
concentrate on. And ML has  been out for less than a month.

Also, it is primarily an Apple issue, as any program that runs for a
long time without human interaction (large downloads, video conversion,
etc) gets caught.

If you look at the Mountain Lion section of Apple support community, the
thread help with caffeinate, you will find, as soon as I have time to
put it up, instructions on how to write your own script to keep a Mac
awake. Someone else will need to write a simple program to put this in
the menu bar, in the way that Caffeine did.

I know a fair bit about this kind of problem, because of the reverse
issue. My Mac running Snow Leopard refuses to go to sleep according to
the Energy Saver settings. That got solved by using a third party sleep
timer, but those were not reset by hard drive activity. So I had to use
Jiggler or Caffeine to keep the Mac awake when I needed to (or Really
Prevent Standby or Sever Power Control for Squeezebox use).

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Buffalo LS-VL - how to upgrade to Media Server ?

2012-08-17 Thread mrhcom

Bought the LS-VL with the inbuilt SqueezeServer in order to finally be
more eco and shutdown the old XP server etc.
However now unable to use my Random playplug-in and my controllers
have downgraded to version 7.5.1 (which is what runs on the LS_VL).
There seems to be a firmware upgrade by Buffalo - but my LS-VL says 1.56
is up to date
So how to upgrade ? If requires Linux skills - I would need a full how
to as no real experience (but otherwise quite techy).
Thanks in advance.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] BBC livetext availability?

2012-08-17 Thread properjob

Annoyingly, BBC have removed their livetext information on the BBC
Iplayer feeds so Triode's plugin no longer supports livetext.

BBC are running an experiment with RadioVis that Triode has got to work
with a Touch or a SB Radio (won't work on the Boom though). It's
actually quite good - if you happen to listen to Radio 1 or 1Xtra but as
it happens I don't.

I'm running a Vortexbox version of LMS btw.

I've tried Tunein but all you get via the Tunein feed is a picture of
the relevant DJ and the show - when it's working which it doesn't do
reliably.

Is there another plugin, app or feed that does still provide livetext?
Livetext still works on my DAB radios.

You are using the same alsa device for wavin and shairport - they should
be different - loopback device comes as a pair of devices - one is input

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread

2012-08-17 Thread john greenwood

Excuse my double-post, but I asked some questions in the General thread
before I saw this.  [modified slightly]

Hi - I just added the streamng service to iPeng. I've read your guide,
and I have several questions before I start setting up my music server
for remote access (which I would prefer over Audiogalaxy).

I will be using a VPN. I have a Linksys router (which supports VPN) and
know how to access it's settings.

First - my regular music server is on an Windows XP machine which offers
PTPP. The iPhone settings have that as an option as well. Will that work
with iPeng?

Second - by default my Linksys router is set to DHCP. If I'm using VPN,
do I need to change that to Static IP in the internet setup section ? If
I do so, I then see an address beginning with something other than
192.168 as my Internet IP Address

Third - do I also need a static IP address for my VPN Server? Do I
achieve that by turning off DHCP in my network address server settings
on my router or can I set it for a particular machine. (Couldn't find a
way to do that.) Do I need to be concerned with port forwarding?  I'm
guessing that using VPN moots a lot of this.  

Finally - Setting up VPN on the iPhone do I enter the external IP
Address of the Router as the server?  Logically, somehow the external
device has to find my router on the internet

I tried searching for VPN in this thread, but the search term may be too
short.  In any event I got no results.

@dave  epoch1970 Yes, but it looks like a hell of a complex feature.

https://trac.penguinlovesmusic.de/trac/ipengnat/ :)

@john

Whatever VPN you use will work with iPeng as long as you get the VPN to
work. What I use is the one my router supports which was the easiest
thing to do for me.
Usually, it will just continue to work in this case because the IP
address of the server will stay valid in the VPN so iPeng can just
reconnect.
If, for some reason, iPeng _loses_ the connection you might have to
manually configure the server's IP address (depends on your router)
because some router-based VPNs don't support UDP broadcasts so the
automatic server discovery won't work.
You can do this in Settings-iPeng Settings.

You don't need to switch to static IPs, but the 192.168 are the
internal addresses and once your iPhone is connected over VPN it will
appear to be in that address range, too, since all communication would
be routed through your network.

You don't need a static IP address for your network, VPNs on iOS work
fine with dyndns addresses, routers that support VPN should also support
dyndns. You then configure that DNS address in iOS and it asks for the
credentials to connect. Once that's successful you will have an
additional VPN switch in your iPhone's general settings, when you tap
that it will ask for a passwordf and you're done.

Playing silence for 3 secs usually means the application to provide
LMS with audio has failed - so if using arecord  flac - then one of the
two has a problem.

LMS debugging will be minimal as it will only show the command line
being invoked which will at least check it out. Use LMS logging
server.streaming.remote to DEBUG

is LMS beinfg run from a shell prompt or as a service ?
If runs from a shell prompt then you should enable messages from arecord
and flac and they will appear at the same terminal window as the shell
prompt.

I registered at dyndns and got a domain name.

I accessed my Linksys router, went to the DDNS page, selected DYNDNS.  I
was asked for a user name and password.  Are these new options just for
VPN access?  Need they match anything?

I then entered my new domain name as my host name.

I configured my Windows machine for VPN.  

I went to the VPN page on my iPhone I selected PPTP and entered:

Description John Greenwood Home
Server - the name I got at YNDNS
Account - the user name I entered on my router
I turned VPN on,entered my password and got a message that the PPTP-VPN
did not respond.  

What have I overlooked?

 LMS debugging will be minimal as it will only show the command line
 being invoked which will at least check it out. Use LMS logging
 server.streaming.remote to DEBUG
 
 is LMS beinfg run from a shell prompt or as a service ?
 If runs from a shell prompt then you should enable messages from arecord
 and flac and they will appear at the same terminal window as the shell
 prompt.

As a service. I'm using MP3 to avoid any bandwidth related issues.

I don't have server.streaming.remote

I've enabled debug on:

player.streaming.remote
plugin.waveinput
server (General Info)

Ok got it working.

Oddly every ~2 out of 3 attempts at playing the stream results in white
noise.

They delay is now down from 30 seconds to c. 13 seconds.

 I am getting what also sounds like analogue hiss as well. Surely the
 loopback device isn't picking up an analog signal at any point?

loopback device should pass a pcm stream through unchanged.  I'm not
sure wheter Alsa does auto conversion if audio characteristics of input
and output are different. Noise can happen when audio is misconfigured.

BTW logging just stick with the streaming.remote  all the other logs
will generate too much irrelevant data

I've turned off all debugging now.

Oddly arecord works (default as per BPA) but the default ecasound conf
doesn't, any ideas? thought I'd try again with eca to see if there was
any difference.

Add options to conf file so that arecord and ecasound are in verbose
mode and then check what they are actually doing when playing. Making
sure they are both doing the same thing (e.g. input and output audio
formats)  and it is the same as what you think they are doing.

no continues to play on LMS but no noise, static or hiss - literally no
signal. no debug messages on the server log.

Where will ecasounds output print to if it executes from the
custom-convert.conf? I assume I just need to drop the -q parameter?

at the moment the best quality is using the pipe but still with a 30
second delay, as you expected moving the pipe to a ramdisk made no
difference.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread

It seems to work - at least it shows up on my iPhone.

Right now I'm using PPTP and forwarding ports 9000 and 3483.  Is that
correct?

LMS thinks everything is OK so no message from it.

To get debug message from ecasound you need to use -D to get output to
stderr as well as -dd or -d:x.  Since you are running LMS as a
service, to redirect stderr you need to change the conf file to run
shell script (e.g. ecasound.sh in a Bin directory of the waveinpu
plugin).  The shell script ecasound.sh would have a command something
like
ecasound $@ 2/tmp/ecasound.log

The shell script may need to be more complicated depending on ecasound
default use of stdin and stdout.  I usually just run LMS from a shell
prompt and get message from subprocesses (e.g.ecasound) in the same
window but you need to have the various directories and ownerships setup
properly to do this.

If it's really using PPTP: yes, that's what you need.
