Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Smart Mix plugin
This was working fine previously, but I've been having problems the past
3 days.
I will get the problem even if I use local music sources
The recipe is:
{
"artist": [
"Neil Young"
],
"song_type": [
"acoustic"
],
"type": "artist",
"bucket": [
"id:rhapsody-US",
"tracks",
"id:CAIXPLB1431AC7A479"
]
}
This is a very specific recipe. It results in only a few tracks if I run
it in the Blender (<60 tracks). There are only so many acoustic songs by
Neil Young. Once you've played them, the plugin will reject the tracks,
as, well, you've just played them.
Change the "do not repeat" duration in the plugin's settings to avoid
this, or use a more generic recipe.

I find if using something modded by a user - have a look at the original
and see what are the differences and try to understand them. It
shouldn't be hard as the original can be found when installing the
plugin.

Yes $FILE$ will be replaced but for your mods to the conf file using
ecasound (have you had problems that you need to use ecasound ?) the
syntax of the alsa device should be -i:alsa,$FILE$ then yiou can use
"wavin:hw:2,0" - using the -i:alsahw means you may have to use something
like "wavin:,2,0"
Use the player.source logging or plugin.waveinput to DEBUG to see the
actual ecasound command (i.e. all params subsituted) that will be
invoked when "playing"

The conf file define rules for formats that can be selected by LMS.
Without deleting all but one conf rule you cannot force the plugin to
use a particular format using the conf file - gutting the conf file is
not good practice. To force the use of a format use the WebUI
Settings/Advanced/Filetypes and for the WAVIN type disable all the
formats you do not want. It make little sense to use PCM as it will
create a bigger network load on your server and player as there is a lot
more work handling packets and possiblilty of problems as less audio
time can be buffered with PCM and server and player have to be more
responsive compared to using flac. Bandwidth is one of the lesser
worries.
If you hear noise - chances are it is bad setup of ecasound options -
use default conf file and arecord. If you do not know how to use the
Filetypes settings - how do you different formats were used when you
heard the "noise" or even what command was being run ?
After looking at what rules are available for a filetype and the player
capabilities, LMS will choose which format to use lossless first (i.e.
flac then pcm) and then lossy MP3 unless bit rate limiting for a player
has been enabled in which case MP3 will be the preferences.

Thank you very much for your detailed posts. They made it possible to
come to deliver a functional (sh)Airplay experience on my Squeezebox
Touch! I was not aware of the convert.conf file, but after locating it
(`locate convert.conf`) I was able to understand the format, along with
your extra details. You were absolutely right that the non-functional
crud was from various posts I had read that had various degrees of
success. I guess they understood even less than me :-)
I do have some additional questions at the end of this post, if you
don't mind ...

I had just based most of what I did off a 'blog post'
(http://confoundedtech.blogspot.no/2012/08/airplay-to-squeezebox-touch-via-linux.html)
by atca ('here are his thread/posts on this forum'

that formed the basis of that). So any deviations from the original
config is due to that.
If I understand you and the configuration files right, the $FILES$
variable will be substituted for the part that comes after "wavein:"
when creating a Favorite URL. For example if using "wavein:hw,2,0" as a
URL, then $FILES$ would be set to "hw,2,0". Do I understand you
correctly?
A FINAL QUESTION CONCERNING DIFFERENT DESTINATION FORMATS:
how does the Squeezebox choose between flac, mp3 and pcm? I configured
WaveIn to only use pcm since I have the bandwidth, and I heard some
noise when the two other destination formats were enabled, but would
like to know how it selects the format when there are three possible
options.

When my server starts up the language is all-Norwegian, but as soon as I've used iPeng to control the unit it switches to a mixture of Norwegian and English. Is this a known issue?

The custom-convert.conf file uses the same format as the convert.conf
file. The convert.conf file format is documented at the start of the
convert.conf file. The documentation doesn't describes comment format
which AFAIK - true comments which have a "#" in col 1 are ignored.
Lines with tab in col1 follows by "# " are capabilities definition.

> prerequisites concerning configuration :-/ Now what *I am wondering is

The eca conf file as noted in the comments of the plugin has not been
updated for a later version of LMS which added/changed WAV to PCM as
default format. The plugin does not have any special requirements when
used with supplied files. It is user changing default LMS filetypes and
conf file which restricts options.
Just enable appropriate LMS logging (IIRC player.source set to DEBUG)
and you can see how lines are parsed at startup and later expanded when
invoked. Problems usually become readily apparent with the log.
I think you have solved your "problem" by hardwiring hw,0,1 into the
command line whereas original wavin conf file allows flexibility by
passing the device designation from the wavin: URL. It is possible this
is where your "problem" lies.

Since the example does not come from the default or eca conf example I
provided with the plugin - the example you refer seems to be from users
who did not understand fully what they were doing and possibly left a
history of failed attempts. The "B" is only used on the MP3 lines for
bit rate limiting and the "I" is totally incorrect since wavin plugin
never takes input from stdin and "F" is not possible as it is from a
LMS supplied file. The only capability needed is "R" for all lines
except MP3 where "RB" is used.
