Sorry for my late reply. LMS is running on a Win10 machine. Version
7.9.1 - 1496913376 @ Thu Jun 8 10:23:46 CUT 2017.
I have two hardware SBs and one piCorePlayer on a pi2B. They are all
hardwired -- no wireless.

Yea, people write all kinds of stuff about streaming.
You know, somehow it seems to be impossible to get that thinking out of
people's head that tinkering with their setup would somehow improve
sound quality.
It was mostly wrong back in the analog days ans it's even more so now in
the digital domain.

You know, that default setting to stream using FLAC is not there to
somehow give you worse sound quality, it's there because it's simply the
option that works best.

No.
iPeng has two separate settings for WiFi and for Cellular.
Before starting the stream it sets the appropriate setting depending on
whether you are connected through WiFi or cellular.
You have to set them both, the defaults are to use 128kbps over cellular
(Apple's recommendation, used to be their requirement) and to use no
bitrate limiting over WiFi.
If you set something manually in the LMS settings this will be
overwritten by iPeng when the next track starts.

Please note that this only applies if you use cellular on the device you
are running iPeng on. If you use connection sharing (e.g. on an iPad
connected to an iPhone) through WiFi then iPeng thinks it's on WiFi and
will not apply bitrate limiting.

Thanks.  It was only because I read that getting the server to transcode
to pcm instead of the player may improve sound quality that I came
across this anomaly.  So what I gather is that ipeng is telling the
server not to convert but the server is for some reason is still
converting to 320.

Streaming flac fixes this so I may revert back.

Just one other question. Over cellular and streaming flac will it always
convert to MP3 even if bitrate limiting set to off?

All my flac files are 44.1 kHz. Not sure what it thinks - might have to
resign this to room 101.

Hi,
I'm happy that your problem is solved. I don't actually use Spicefly,
didn't try it yet, but I know I should.
I think LMS with MusicIP on RP3 is slower anyway than on a regular PC or
on a Mac. I also have a memory usage problem, because I have too much
plugins enabled maybe. I should disable some of them and see what
happens.
It also seems that, due to qemu usage, MusicIp tends to increase its
memory usage with time, so Frankd told on another post that he restarts
MusicIp every night with crontab to prevent this.
All in all, it works quite well anyway, it's fast enough, the RPI uses
little power, makes no noise and, since nobody uses it to do something
else, is always available. I'm happy with it.

What I think is happening is that if I get the server to transcode my
flac files to pcm then I'm limited to 320kbps over wifi for iPeng
playback even if bitrate limiting is set to off.

Disabling server transcode so flac is sent to the players then with
bitrate limiting disabled over wifi there is no MP3 conversion. 

Is this an issue with server transcoding and bitrate limiting or have I
got a setting wrong on the server?

It should do that. Have you set the bitrate limit to off in iPeng? It
doesn’t help to do it in 5e server settings, you need to use iPeng‘s

Sorry if this has already been covered.

Over wifi when bitrate limiting is set to off the server still
transcodes to 320kbps.  Is this a new limitation?  If I disable the lame
encoder on the server it'll playback at 1,411 pcm.  

Really what I'd expect is that 1,411 pcm is sent when bitrate limiting

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Motor boating sound when Squeezelite loads in picoplayer

2017-06-28 Thread Howard Passman

I've been trying to beat back a noise issue while trying to build a
portable player with 7" screen. My issue seemed to be caused by trying
to use a dual output PSU. Today I tried separate PSU's. One for the
RSP3, screen, hard drive, etc. and one for an 18w stereo amplifier. It
works fine except for a very faint motor boating sound coming from the
speakers. I noticed that the noise starts when Squeezelite loads. I'm
using picoreplayer 3.20 with SL.

Oddly enough, to me, I don't hear any noise when using headphones hooked
to the RCA outputs of the DAC+. Only when I run the output to a
amplifier.

Any ideas or is it just a coincidence that the noise starts when
Jivelite loads?

Thanks,

Howard



Can I go home now?

Hi Dirk

You should have received an email invite to the Teamwork.com portal for
the project? If not, check your spam folder.

Once you have access to teamwork, access the 'Alexa LMS Skill' project
from the dashboard and then click on the 'notebooks' tab. There you'll
find the 'setting up for testing' document which explains everything.

In summary you'll need;
-To enable the skill on your Amazon developer account
-Create a Hab-Tunes.com account
-Install the plug-in for your LMS

Details on all of the above are in the set up document.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] For the brave only: the Spotty Spotify implementation

2017-06-28 Thread TheLastMan

Don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia!

A "Compilation" album is a much broader term than the narrow definition
here. Compilation is a process, not a thing, it is the act of compiling.
The compilation of musical tracks is the act of gathering them together
in one recording.  The compilation of poems or short stories is the act
of gathering them together in one book.  

A "best of" is "compiled" from an artists previous recordings. "Various
artists" albums are also "compiled" from those artists' previous
recordings, either to fit a genre, mood or other theme.

Now we don't have the concept of anthologies...

But then the same article lists the Greatest Hits top of the list of
common types of compilations:

Not of much help. I'm confused.

I would define a compilation as an album "compiled" from tracks
previously released on other albums, or as singles, regardless of the
performer.

Cambridge English Dictionary:

"compile"

produce (a list or book) by assembling information collected from other

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Success: MusicIP and Spicefly Sugarcube running on Raspberry Pi

2017-06-28 Thread downtime

One other little clue:

I'm using SpiceFly's replacement interface for MMM and Test Mix Creation
works so I know MMM is working correctly. However, it takes a few
seconds before the mix is created. I haven't seen that delay on other
platforms. Maybe that is causing a timeout between LMS and MMM? I read
something about that in the original post in this thread.

Thanks for your help.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Success: MusicIP and Spicefly Sugarcube running on Raspberry Pi

2017-06-28 Thread downtime

Thanks again Antoniop,

I copied your script exactly (changing the path a little bit to fit my
setup), stopped LMS, and ran this session:

pi@max2play:~ $ /home/pi/MusicIP/MusicMagicMixer/mmserver start
Password: 
Running MusicMagicServer
pi@max2play:~ $ ERROR: ld.so: object
'/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libarmmem.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload
cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
Starting server on port 10002

pi@max2play:~ $ sudo service logitechmediaserver start

Both MMM and LMS are running, but LMS still doesn't see MMM. All of the
tracks chosen are random. Both servers point to the same path where the
music tracks are /media/pi/SmallTunes. It's confusing because I have
been running these two severs on other platforms - Windows, Linux, Mac -
for several years with happy results. I got a RP3 so I wouldn't have to
keep a laptop running all of the time, but I'm not having much luck so
far.

Any other suggestions you have are greatly appreciated.

Very strange. I double-checked that I hadn't misread the version umber,
and I hadn't. I am in the preview program for GB, but as you say this
version isn't listed.

I don't know why the C-3PO plugin interfered with this and the UPnP
plugins, but I only used it a couple of times out of interest, so it's
no great loss to me.  I was testing chromecast to my TV partly to test
whether I could listen to my music via a bluetooth headset paired with
the TV in my lounge, and it works, giving me another listening option. 
Thanks again for all your work.

Good to know!

I think I mis-interpreted my comment in the code. The albums list does
indeed come with an album_type value. But that value is not always what
people would expect. The classic Best Of vs. Various Artists issue: is a
Best Of considered a compilation? Or is a compilation an album with
various artists?... Spotify's interpretation is that a Best Of is a
compilation.
