Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] announce: squeeze2upnp, a bridge between LMS and uPNP devices

2016-05-19 Thread mtsars

Hi everyone,
Just purchased a PS Audio Directstream DAC last week, connected it to my
Vortexbox appliance running Logitech Media Server via USB, and
absolutely loved it!  Big improvement over my two other DACs.  After
reading reviews, I then purchased a PS Audio Bridge II that arrived
today, and so far I’m underwhelmed with the results when playing music
over my home network via UPnP.  Here’s a brief summary:


- Sound quality via the Bridge II sounds thin compared to USB. 
  Musicality seems to be lost.
- 192/24 recordings don't play correctly (really not at all).  An
  audible noise comes out, but it’s as if the song is being played at a
  fraction of its normal speed.  It’s unrecognizable.
- Although the sample rate and bit rate display correctly, the
  metadata is always stuck on the first song, and album artwork does not
  display at all.
- 
  

To get LMS to work with Bridge II, I installed Philippe's squeeze2upnp
plug-in (thank you so much!).  I’m hoping there’s a setting that I’ve
missed, or I’ll need to return the Bridge II and revert back to USB.  Is
there a log that I can post to see if I inadvertently screwed up a
setting or am doing something else wrong?  Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

Thank you,
Mike

CC devices expect a URL where they can get the artwork (in other words,
I'm not sending an artwork image, I'm sending an URL where to acquire
the artwork). Can you take a log with the "casting debugging" activated
so I can see exactly what is sent ?

This is not very clear. If it runs from a cmd line, then it should run
from LMS, unless you have not selected the right binary version in the
settings for the plugin. Post a log to help understanding what's
happening

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Test] Repo for LMS 7.9.0 on Synology DSM 5.*

2016-05-19 Thread pputzer

First, thank you for all the work you put into providing an up-to-date
LMS package for us Synology users :)

Second, it would be great if you could add a way to customize the
command line options for slimserver.pl in a persistent way (i.e. across
updates). Specifically, I'd like to add --nomysqueezebox, but I think
such a feature would be useful for all powerusers. A simple .conf file
that is included if it exists would suffice (with SLIM_OPTIONS=... in
Bourne shell syntax) would probably suffice. 

Here's a quick & dirty patch:

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)

2016-05-19 Thread ih8gates

I use the Triode Spotify plugin. It looks like the metadata that S2C is
sending includes covers like this:

cover:spotifyimage/spotify:image:a1ee7dd56014c8ad8e30c7f6335c5923f2033dba/cover.jpg

Is there a trick to getting album artwork sent to the Chromecast in a
format that it likes? Local artwork functions just fine.

I cant seem to get this plugin working from LMS.

If i run from a putty session without any arguments the program works?
How do i get these settings as the default start up when running in
LMS?

Thanks in advance, Daniel

Hi,

Absolutely no idea I did this, after uninstalling in error the
applet and it worked... People who know better SBT functioning could
propose another / correct my manual solution or propose an automatic
solution or update hosting applet as Mherger proposal (1000 thx BTW!).

Yes! That did the trick.

I *had* already checked and S2C was in my firewall exceptions. But
starting it manually, then OK-ing the resulting dialog fixed things for
me.

Hi bpa, I guessed that the google shift might have had something to do
with it.

I save the Car Talk podcast as a favourite within LMS and sometimes
listen to other ones as well.

Sometimes play back one of these via the Browser

It's no big deal, thanks for all your efforts with this and the Auntie
BBC iPlayer, I really do appreciate your work :)
