Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
Thanks for this information. Having enabled SrvrPowerCtrl on the LMServer I can successfully shutdown/restart the nas remotely via iPeng without changing any settings. What I can't do is once shutting down the players (Touch and Radio) will not switch to Squeezenetwork. Would you say the shutdown command needs amending? I have enabled ssh and can access via PuTTy. I can run the 'ps aux | grep 'squeeze' and it chucks out some information but I'm a bit stuck from here. Could you explain what I need to do from here. I would like the use the 'switch to Squeezenetwork' function when shutting down. Does iPeng switch too as I couldn't get this to work either. Finally I guess as my Nas does not have WOL I can't start up the server remotely via SrvrPowerCtrl - is this right? Thanks.

jdwek wrote: I am not at all a computer person so I doubt if this will help. I did happen to notice this on a different forum and wondered if it might be useful. It is a caffeinate command that targets the specific program SABnzbd specifically. Could not we do the same thing with LMS? caffeinate -i /Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd Thanks jdwek but no. LMS runs continuously as a service. It is not run as a command as and when you want to play some music. The S in LMS stands for Server. The usage of caffeinate in the example you found will prevent idle timeouts for as long as SABnzbd runs. The at the end of the command means that caffeinate will do its work on SABnzbd in the background - effectively meaning that the terminal command prompt will come back to you straight away. Run the ps command then and you should see caffeinate listed among your running processes. Type pmset -g to see that caffeinate has turned off the idle timeout. The command fg will bring caffeinate back into the foreground - you could then terminate it, and the SABnzbd it has started, by typing ctrl C to interrupt it. LMS should not require a great deal of computer background to use when it works - it has failed as a product if it does. But unfortunately when it goes wrong those who have the background seem to have to get involved as Logitech often seem very slow to pick these things up themselves. There is a priority system for dealing with bugs - hence my plea for people to vote. Many thanks for doing so. As caffeinate is likely to be used for other things apart from my test fix, please see my next post regarding my steps for getting ReallyPreventStandby to (mostly) work. nonnoroger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35581 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95980 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

nonnoroger wrote: But that is not what happens with Mountain Lion. As I have explained in several posts. The idle period is only applied after interactive use. Once that has expired a WOL does not keep ML awake for another idle period. This is why we are trying to find a solution. I don't think your earlier explanations were clear on this. If I now understand you correctly, there would be other situation where this would apply. For instance, if the Mac wakes of its own accord (say, to perform the daily tasks) it would not stay awake for the period set in Energy Saver. As I have also said before I think Apple have it right with ML. It is now up to developers to use the tools properly, (And I do know about legacy programs which will not be fixed but caffeinate and a corresponding GUI will provide a solution for that.) We seem to agree on this. I must have been misinterpreting you earlier, because I thought you were arguing that such a solution was a bad thing. Caffeinate is fine for interactive use when the Mac is already awake, directly, or indirectly from scripts, but to call after WOL will give us race conditions in my view. I expect you are right on this. By the way, one run of your approach to ReallyPreventStandby has worked fine, have not yet done any other runs. danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95980 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

If you choose to do the same, I strongly recommend that you get yourself your own copy of caffeinate for use just by ReallyPreventStandby. This will prevent any other interactive uses of caffeinate from being unexpectedly terminated after all you SB's are turned off. I find it easist to do this in a terminal window, but the following could be done in Finder: cd pwd mkdir bin cp /usr/bin/caffeinate bin/lms-noidle this sequence makes sure you are in your home directory (or folder), prints (shows) the full pathname of that folder (should be /Users/USER where I am assuming you are logged in as the user who installed LMS), makes you a new directory (folder) called bin (for binary - if you already have one you probably do not need any help from me), and then takes a copy of caffeinate as lms-noidle and puts it in your own bin directory. Then, in the ReallyPreventStandby instructions quoted partly above use lms-noidle instead of caffeinate: Inhibit standby command: /Users/USER/bin/lms-noidle -i Re-enable standby command: pkill lms-noidle I have suggested that you place the copy of caffeinate outside the ReallyPreventStandby folders so you will not lose it if installing or re-installing the plugin. You could instead try using the command that Gordon provides which is /Users/USER/Library/Caches/Squeezebox/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/ReallyPreventStandby/bin/mac/sleep-inhibit - especially if you want to try my fix and configuration on versions of OSX before Mountain Lion that do not have caffeinate. nonnoroger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35581 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95980 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

That should not matter a great deal as this plugin only needs LMS to get started. BUT I have Triode's Spotify configured to Always Stream via the Helper (to solve other problems). I very much doubt you will find that ReallyPreventStandby really prevents standby while Spotify is playing with this configuration. That is why I keep Prohibit standby if players are on? Checked.

05mattjax wrote: Finally I guess as my Nas does not have WOL I can't start up the server remotely via SrvrPowerCtrl - is this right? Thanks.No, but yes. The lack of WOL on the ReadyNAS was a major disappointment for me and one of the reasons why I was willing to give mine away. What you could do is use SrvrPowerCtrl's End of Day function to monitor system idle and shutdown the server only during the wee hours. Then either program a silent Squeezebox alarm (i.e. use an mp3 file of silence for the alarm playlist) or program some kind of innocuous crontab job for a specific time of day that you'd like the NAS to boot up. All the recent motherboards I've been using support cold boot RTC wake alarms. I'm not sure the ReadyNAS's rtc driver or hardware support this, though. You'll just have to check. The next beta version of SrvrPowerCtrl will have an enhanced spc-wakeup.sh script that will make experimenting with this much easier. I'll try to get this commited to my beta repo in a week or so. Anyway, IF the ReadyNAS's RTC wakealarm supports cold booting, then, in order for SrvrPowerCtrl to be able to program timed system wakeups / boots, you'll need to finish the SrvrPowerCtrl setup as outlined on the help page. 05mattjax wrote: I have enabled ssh and can access via PuTTy.

For SrvrPowerCtrl's purposes, I'll then need to add the following lines to the /etc/sudoers file: Code: squeezeboxserver ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown* squeezeboxserver ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend* squeezeboxserver ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate* squeezeboxserver ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-powersave* squeezeboxserver ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/crontab -l squeezeboxserver ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/spc-checkidle.sh* squeezeboxserver ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/spc-restart.sh* squeezeboxserver ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/spc-test.sh* squeezeboxserver ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/spc-wakeup.sh* Make sure to create a backup copy of your sudoers file before you edit it! Also, ask on the ReadyNAS forum if the pmutils package can somehow be installed on the NAS. (I.e. can you install packages via 'apt-get', etc?) If not, then you need to find substitute commands for the pm-* commands. The spc-* scripts you should manually copy from SrvrPowerCtrl's scripts/Debian directory to /usr/local/sbin. Or try running the scripts/Debian/srvrpowerctrl-setup.sh script and see if it works. That script should modify your sudoers file for you and install the helper scripts. See the SrvrPowerCtrl Help page, available from the link at the top of the settings page. 05mattjax wrote: I would like the use the 'switch to Squeezenetwork' function when shutting down.

I suspect the Multi Library libraries won't be updated at the moment as long as you get these errors. I've sometimes got malformed database errors in my development setup but it has always been caused by my killing SBS/LMS abruptly instead of shutting it down nicely. Unfortunately, I don't really have a good solution to solve it, buy some ideas follows below: 1. The first thing I would try is to restart LMS and then goto Extras/Multi Library and hit the refresh libraries link and look in the log if it produce an error afterwards. 2. Make sure your disk isn't full, because a full disk at the wrong time could probably result in issues like this 3. The solution I'm fairly sure works is to shutdown LMS, delete persist.db file and start LMS. But deleting persist.db will also delete all TrackStat data and Custom Scan data, so afterwards you will have to restore a TrackStat backup (if you are using TrackStat) and perform a rescan with Custom Scan (if you are using Custom Scan).

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Erland's Plug-ins, Large Collections, and Hardware Requirements
I have been an extremely satisfied VortexBox Appliance (VBA) owner since December 2009. In that time I've built an extensive music library while modifying both the hardware and software of my machine incrementally over the years. I've succeeded in converting several friends into avid VB enthusiasts. As my collection grew, I found that my setup was struggling to handle database queries. Playback was fine, as long as I used mechanisms to locate discs that didn't result in substantial database operations. Mostly I would do an artist or an album query. A song query would invariably hang or crash LMS. I have an extensive classical collection and I spent a great deal of effort entering and maintaining the requisite metadata. I was looking forward to having the ability of, say, pulling up all of my recordings of Bruckner's Seventh Symphony or listing all of the recordings of a given pianist by composer. Erland Isaksson's LMS plugins (Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Mixed Tags, etc) seemed ideally-suited for this task. Unfortunately, whenever I tried to run these queries they would either time out or LMS would crash. I started a correspondence with Erland who couldn't have been more helpful. I sent him log files, database files, and several other diagnostics. I began noticing that LMS was also spontaneously dying overnight with out-of-memory errors. My machine was a standard VBA with 1 GB of RAM and an original 2TB of disc space expanded to 5TB, with my collection totaling approximately 120,000 tracks. I also keep an MP3 mirror and run Subsonic. There have been many threads over the years in the VortexBox forums inquiring about whether 1GB of memory is sufficient. The standard answer was that VB used far less than 1GB and that more memory shouldn't lead to increased performance. After getting absolutely nowhere after many months of happy listening but growing frustration with my limited capabilities, I decided to build a new server box. I bought a new Lenovo box from Fry's for $299. It had 6GB of memory (massive overkill), a 2.8 Ghz dual-core AMD processor, and a 500GB drive preloaded with Windows 7. It took me about $300 and less than 10 minutes to install two new 3TB drives (pulling and putting aside the Windows disc) along with a USB3 card. In about an hour I had a fully-functioning VB. In about a 24 hours, all of my music and settings were transferred from the old box. My results have been jaw-dropping. Not only are all of my Custom Browse queries running, they usually return results within one or two seconds. There is clearly significant caching going on, so after the first query things go much more swiftly thereafter.I can search by song now, where on my old box a song query would have been equivalent to hitting the Stop LMS button. And I can do all of this with music playing, literally without missing a beat. I've been looking at the System Status figures while I run queries. In steady state, kernel and applications use about 1.3 GB of memory. The rest is spent on caching, buffers, and disk swap. My suspicion is that while LMS and Subsonic can run on a VBA with less than 1GB of RAM, a large collection combined with complex queries pushed the hardware over the brink. I didn't structure my upgrade as a controlled experiment. Perhaps merely increasing RAM to 2GB on my VBA would have worked nearly as well (none of the diagnostics ever suggested that my VBA was CPU-bound). I just wanted to pass on that for users of Erland's LMS plugins with large libraries, the current VBA hardware configuration may not be insufficient to utilize the full capabilities of the LMS package. The good news is that I am absolutely thrilled with my new VB setup. I wish realized sooner that my problems were hardware-related. I'm posting this in the hope of helping others who may be struggling with similar issues. davidfox2116's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40075 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96124 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Thanks for sharing. Just to be sure I understand: Vortex Box runs under Unix and you are using Unix in the new setup, not Win 7? (Sorry if this is a basic question, but I have not used Vortex Box. I thought it was a Linux build of some kind incorporating LMS.) vagskal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20778 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96124 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
I have done several reboots so it is possible I have behaved badly against LMS. Since I am streamlining my setup for performance reasons, I may just disable MultiLibrary which I do not normally use actively. Risking the CustomScan data that I have managed to get into the persistent database is in any case not an option. Although I cannot check at the moment, there should not be any run out of disc space problems. vagskal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20778 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49483 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Vortexbox is a package based on Fedora Linux which includes LMS and a number of related utilities. http://vortexbox.org/content/134-About-VortexBox I have not run LMS under Win 7, but the issues I discussed in my post may pertain as well. The point is if you are working with a relatively low-memory underpowered machine, a hardware upgrade (particularly, a memory upgrade) may yield substantial results in Custom Browse performance. davidfox2116's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40075 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96124 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] 3voor12 Luisterpaal on Squeezebox
Hello, In the Netherlands Belgium there is a site: http://3voor12.vpro.nl/ It broadcasts new albums for about 2-3 weeks. Ideal for discovering new music. You can listen on your PC or smartphone (android app) Wouldn't it be great to have a plugin to listen to it on your squeezebox. i think it should be possible. Is there anybody with programming skill who can do this?
