Thanks a lot for your answer. I think I'm ready to take the chance :)
but I thought that the code was not accessible any more since the latest
versions of the qbuz plugin, as nothing is downloaded to the user's hard

Squeezebox directory; Am I mistaken? If I am, please point me to this
API.pm and I will give it a shot. 
(I suppose I can set it back to 500 items if something goes wrong,

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread

2014-03-01 Thread jimbobvfr400

I'm not an ipeng user as I have Android devices but personally if I'm
queuing up tracks to a playlist using an app to control another device
I'll quite often use the local player on my device to preview a track
before adding to the play list on the SB.

Actually there's a good idea, if iPeng is controlling another device
have a preview option in the context menu that plays the track locally.

 Thank you for all your work on the plugin. It makes the squeezebox

 Your plugin has been working great until the recent updates. Now i seem
 to be able to  get about 4-6 songs then it will pause on the end of a
 song. I can skip to the next song and it will play and not miss any

Ikabob wrote: 
 With this latest version of ipeng, while in a playlist, is it possible
 to move tracks up or down to reposition them in the line-up?
 
Sure. Just press Edit on the top of the playlist, then you can
dragdrop them. The dragdrop throughout iPeng (including the player
list and the edit main menu view) works a bit differently than before
in that you have to (very) briefly hold an item to pick it up, iPeng no
longer shows the handle.
That change was made for several reasons:

- this way it's consistent across the App
- in the edit main menu view the stock rearranging as provided by
  iOS (the one with the handle) doesn't work because to select the menu
  level you also need to move an item sideways
- in the player list the new scheme leads to much more obvious results
  since it allows to drop one player directly onto another player (for
  sync) or on a server (for server switching) instead of just
  rearranging them as in Apple's solution. It also means in the player
  list you can dd without having to enter edit mode first (can't do
  that in the current playlist because it conflicts with the context
  menu).
- it saves the space for the handle which is especially precious in
  the current playlist on iPhone and in pinned mode on iPad.

Doing it only for a few seconds will probably be difficult (how many?).
How would you stop that preview and return to the main playlist?
Automatically after a number of seconds is something I don't trust
because iPeng might be asleep so can't trigger this anymore.
Undo gesture (shake device)?

 
 Could do the same thing at the album level, skip thru each track playing
 5/10 secs of each.
 
Difficult. People will let iPeng fall asleep and then it doesn't work
anymore. I'm for manual skipping.
 
 Then field forum requests to add Settings for how far in and how long a
 sample to play :p
Over my dead body. :p

2014-03-01 Thread peterw

tamanaco wrote: 
 gharris, thanks for your reply... Is the code above for long press sleep
 or just for a short press sleep?

IIRC, all Squeezebox IR remotes except for (some? all?) Boom remotes use
the same scheme, and that is, keep sending the same IR code as long as
the user is holding the button down. LMS has logic to treat the press as
short if the player stops relaying IR code info to LMS fairly soon
after the first code is sent. 

Some (all?) Boom remotes used a scheme whereby they'd send a
button-specific IR code when the button was first pressed, and then for
as long as the button continued to be pressed, they'd send a different
IR code. That second IR code was the same for all buttons, and
essentially was meant to tell Boom+LMS that the user hadn't stopped
pressing the button yet. Technically, I think this ditto IR code
(which I think was an industry standard) required less energy because it
was shorter in length (fewer pulses of light), and therefore looked like
a smart idea for a small remote with an expensive, disposable battery. I
think Logi/SlimDevices at some point started building the Boom remotes
to use the old school (non-ditto) behavior.

Physical buttons on Boom (and Squeezebox Receiver) are treated
differently -- the player sends LMS indication of both the button being
pressed (down) and the button being released (up). AFAIK there's no
way to trigger those messages with an IR code sent to the player's IR
receiver.

 ... Anyway, I tried teaching the long press sleep command to my Harmony
 Smart Control and it didn't work because, as I was told, newer Harmony
 remotes have no raw learn capability. I'm trying to work with Logitech
 (Harmony) support to see if they can add this command to the profile for
 that device.

1) Really, a Harmony remote that can't learn? Sounds crazy.
2) Are there multiple Squeezebox devices in the Harmony database? Since
all devices starting with at least the Squeezebox 1 support the same
codes, you could try another device. (IIRC, the SliMP3 player responded
to codes registered to another company, likely the JVC brand DVD codes
that are also generally supported on older players by LMS out of the
box. You could look at the .map and .ir files for LMS, but I don't
believe LMS recognizes a JVC sleep code.)
3) If you can't customize a Harmony remote, take a look at the world of
JP1 programmable remotes. One For All used to have nice options, but it
looks like nowadays many people resort to reprogramming Comcast's set
top box remote controls since they're cheap, plentiful, and apparently
support JP1 programming. In a couple of my rooms I've been using OFA JP1
remotes for years, with very good results.
4) For use with LMS, you might be able to program the Harmony remote to
send some other recognizabled IR code (one of those JVC DVD codes would
be good) and modify the .map (?) file for LMS to have it treated as a
sleep button. Sorry, my memory is really fuzzy here. But basically the
old IP3K players like Boom recognize most IR codes (but not all, like
they don't understand Denon's) and will relay info to LMS for most IR
codes. So it's likely you can use the .map/.ir files to have LMS
recognize a non-Squeezebox IR code as a sleep IR code.

Good luck.

 Thanks for that; I didn't quite catch whether you meant streaming flac
 to either the Radio or Boom OR boom only would be ok - 'But I wouldn't
 even bother about flac for Radio and 
 Boom only.'

What I wanted to say is that the Boom/Radio's sound quality probably just isn't 
good enough to make you hear the difference between high quality mp3 and flac. 
Therefore it's not worth spending money for this feature. If you really want to 
hear the difference, you'd better use some good amp (as you probably do when 
playing through your PC). Many users wouldn't even hear the difference on a 
Touch connected to their amp.

Maybe it's still pulling content from the cache (though I thought cache 
for user data is pretty short lived). Try removing the qobuz.db from the 
cache folder and try again.



So, I thought that maybe this limit problem is not only related to your
plugin? Maybe QB restricts the number of favorites on anything but their
own official apps? or I may be doing something wrong?


I'll have to double check what the maximum number per request is. We 
might be topping out there.


They do provide methods to page through large sets of data (eg. 
pulling in favorites in chunks of 500s, until all your 1680 are 
downloaded). But there's no code in place to do paging.



Once the API.pm is modified and saved, is there something else to do to
actually implement the modification, like rebooting the SB or anything?
(I already restarted LMS on my PC, maybe that's not enough?)


Re-starting LMS should be good enough. I'll double check once I find 
some time.
