Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)
Hi, So I've been testing the new iPlayer 1.3.1a3 plugin with the updated faad.exe on WHS v1 and a Squeezebox 3 (LMS 7.8.1). 1) Updating the faad has allowed me to access the Live streams (non-UK). There seems to be some rebufferring issues every minute or so (both Radio 1 and Radio 6), but the stream recovers. No errors in the log. faad does not seem to be excessively loading the CPU or anything like that. 2) World Service does not work. This is what I get in the log then I try to open it: see bbc-live.log 3) The listen again stream starts fine after some buffering delay (much longer than in the old setup) and seek fine too. But they always stop after about 5-10 minutes. There doesn't seem to be anything interesting in the log around the time of the failure:see bbc-la.log I'm not around next week, but I could test something after 13/4 if that's helpful. +---+ |Filename: bbc-live.log | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=17827| +---+ Wigster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14899 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I'll try my best to help... I assume you are outside the UK? There seem to be some slightly odd things going on for you! 1) Did the alpha3 plugin not work with the original faad.exe? Were you previously able to play any aac content (e.g. iTunes .m4a files)? The bug that was fixed in faad.exe should only occur in a very small percentage of streams (it was only noticed on one Listen Again stream), and all I'd expect on the Live streams is that very occasionally the stream won't start playing, but retrying will make it go. So I don't understand why you needed the new faad.exe, although it is nice to confirm that it works on WHS v1. (Well problems 2) and 3) could be a problem with faad, maybe...). 2) From the bbc-live.log, I've got little idea why the world-service isn't playing. The HLS stream data is being fetched ok and apparently being passed into the lms streaming/transcoding system, and nothing has thrown an error with the stream data. But the 'consecutiveErrors' reports mean (I think) that the stream hasn't actually ever started playing on the player. You'll need to turn on more system logging to find out what is happening. I know very little about the inner workings of LMS, but earlier in this thread bpa had suggested player.source debug logging if it is anything to do with transcoding, so I suggest trying that for a start. 3) The bbc-la.log looks like it might be after the event. All I can see there is that the HLS decoder is tearing through HLS chunks and passing them into the LMS streaming system far too fast - the chunks are normally 10 seconds each, but they are being dispatched as fast as once every 1 second! It's like the streaming/transcoding system is just discarding the data - it might be something similar to what is happening in 2). Again, I can only suggest turning on additional player debug logging in lms to try and see what is going on. utgg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40900 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

The bug fix won't affect the display on the touch, radio, duet controller, squeezeplay, jivelite, web interface or phone/tablet controller apps. While I was at it, I did however spot and modify a couple of other things to make it a bit more robust - since it looked like it was theoretically possible to start and stop a stream very quickly and not clean up the OnAir object properly. I didn't see any evidence of that being possible in my testing though, and from the positive responses so far I'll assume that the OnAir patch is good enough to publicise on your sticky page if you like.

Thankyou again :) Were you looking at this form of url: http://polling.bbc.co.uk/radio/realtime/bbc_6music.json by any chance? That gives track and artist info, but isn't updated if there is no track/artist actually playing - it only has valid information if the realtime name at the end of the .json file I use is set to now_playing. I thought I might want to pick up track/artist from that url when available - but the url I've used gives 'track by artist' form of info anyway. So I kept it simple, and retained the separate line giving the overall programme name. I did start following where they got track artwork from, but didn't get very far. I also started looking deeper into the more detailed information for the whole programme with this type of url: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05nsdwf.json, just looking for programme artwork really.

Even worse for stations that don't play music, like radio_four, the json is virtually empty.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] announce: squeeze2upnp, a bridge between LMS and uPNP devices
Hi - I don't have my computer accessible right now, but probably happens is that, from time to time, the X10 does not respond to the periodic search and is then removed from the players list. At another next search it is rediscover again and so on. Few options there 1/ if you do not need a periodic rescsan, disable it (one of the parameters, sorry I don't know them by heart anymore) 2/ if you need the periodic rediscovery because the x10 disappear for good when you switch it off, but has this issue of non always responding when it should, extend the search timeout to more that 30 seconds and 3/ if it still does not work well, I will do a change to verify that a lost player is _really_ unreachable LMS 7.7.2 - 5 radio, 3 Boom, 4 Duet, 1 Touch, 1 SB2.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Max2Play Webinterface for Mediaclients (Audioplayer, Squeezeserver, Airplay, XBMC)
Hello Flysurfer, I'd to to revisit my prior request of adding multiple instances of Squeezelite through the web interface. My attempts to do this manually have been met with little success. My results have been very odd, on occasion when I reboot I can get 2 instances of squeezelite working and then on a subsequent reboot the manually added instance of Squeezelite disappears again. The whole ordeal has been frustrating to say the least. I sincerely think that this would be a worthwhile addition for the Max2play interface. I would think that most people have more than one listening area in their home and would benefit from not having to purchase multiple Odroid's/Raspberry Pi's. I actually have 5 separate listening areas in my home that need there own instance of Squeezelite - 2 Bathrooms, Workshop, Patio, Living Room. Perhaps adding this as a premium feature might make it worth your while and would also serve to separate the Max2play platform from other mini computer music offerings. gv200's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62942 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101856 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
