Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 2.8.x - Spotify Connect for your Squeezebox
I have reinstalled a clean version of LMS and then it works, but as soon as I add the Spotty Plugin v2.8, it fails as above. I have seen issues where LMS would hang for quite a bit while trying to authenticate in the past, too. I tried to mitigate it. But eventually I think the behaviour was also improved by some more tweaks to HTTPS handling. Please make sure you run the latest and greatest LMS code (I think the changes were around end of 2018 or very early 2019). -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 2.8.x - Spotify Connect for your Squeezebox
There's one thing that is strange but maybe has nothing to do with the plugin. The difference in the loudness is sometimes really high. You play one song, almost hear nothing and increase the volume...NExt song could be upt to about 10db more (I did a measure with a few examples). Do you have normalization enabled (Settings/Player/Audio)? If so, make sure you haven't disabled it for Spotty (Settings/Player/Spotty). -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Touch vs. SQB Classic with TIDAL plug
Decided to give Tidal a try and quickly noticed that my old SQB classic have problems with playing Tidal FLAC's without glitches and stuttering. Q ; is the Tidal plugin even supposed to work with the old SQB classic? Yes, it should work. Alas... If it is, what could be done to have it play the flac stream correctly? the problem with the Classic and streaming FLAC is its minuscule buffer compared to the Touch. It can only buffer very few seconds of audio data. The slightest hiccup in your connection (or the player's) can lead to re-buffering and hiccups. I'm not using LMS since that is the whole idea for me, ie not have to rely on running a home server. I also tested with the player connected ta LMS (7.9.2.somthing) but it makes no difference. LMS would allow you to use "proxied streaming". In this setup the audio data would be proxied through your LMS, which gives a somewhat improved behaviour. Also worth mentioning is that it seems that it's not all files that doesn't play correctly. But playing the same "problem" files again and again show the same stuttering + there's no difference if I connect by wire or wifi . I think there have been issues with some FLAC files using a really high compression. Maybe you could give us the track's URL so somebody can verify? -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Google Music plugin
Unfortunately, given that Google Music is due to be retired soon, there's not much work happening on this, particularly given that any work with the API is stabbing in the dark, since it's all unoffical reverse-engineered anyway. It's time to change to another system. I believe Spotify is well supported in LMS (for paid subscriptions at least), and has a publicly documented API, so is likely to be more resilient. No idea about Tidal though. askvictor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64977 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105800 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: UPnPBridge = integrate UPnP/DLNA players with LMS (squeeze2upnp)
I have been using the UPnPBridge plugin for a few days, streaming to the Android app BubbleUPnP, and I now have a question regarding how to configure my server's firewall. My home server, running LMS is using iptables for it's firewall, configured using ufw. I try to keep the machine locked down fairly tight. I have found however that after a reboot, that I have to disable the firewall for a while, in order for LMS to be successfully notified of the presence of the UPnP rendering point on my phone. I believe this is because squeeze2upnp is broadcasting SSDP M-SEARCH packets using destination port 1900, but the server's source port is chosen randomly, and changes on every reboot of the server. The rendering point, (in my case BubbleUPnP,) responds using as it's destination, the server's source port, not 1900! Since I don't know what that port is going to be, I have come to the conclusion, possibly incorrectly, that I have to either drop the firewall for LMS to learn about the rendering point, or accept all UDP packets that come from my phone, neither solution seems acceptable. It might be possible that a different firewall could do some kind of stateful packet inspection on UDP packets, and take care of this kind of issue - I don't know. It exceeds my knowledge concerning server security. So, question: is it possible to get squeeze2upnp to use a fixed source UDP port number on every use for sending SSDP M-SEARCH packets, a configurable port number that I can choose? *Living Room:* SB Touch + DIY PSU > CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU > VRX.1 cables > Emotiva XSP-1 Gen 2 preamp + XPA-DR2 amp > Blue Jeans cables > B&W 804 speakers *Laptop:* System76 Galago + Ubuntu 16.04 + Squeezelite + Material Skin > ifi USB iSilencer > Audirect Beam DAC > Senn IE 80 earbuds *Bedroom:* Android Phone + SB Player + Squeeze Ctrl > Bluetooth > Bose SoundLink Revolve *Server:* Puget Systems Serenity + Ubuntu 18.04 + LMS 7.9.2 *Music:* Personal FLAC, Radio Paradise FLAC, Qobuz, Spotify Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103728 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBCiPlayer V1.6 (and higher) & BBCiPlayerExtra 2.0 (and higher) Support
@paul.burden I booted an old XP laptop with a Pentium M 1.7 which is roughly same as your processor. Before the LMS July 2018 patch and plugin 1.6.* - the BBC live station would always show symptoms you describe - long pause and then stop/start playback before running smoothly and requires the "delay" setting to be 1-2 minutes. It's been a while since I booted the laptop so I had to instal latest LMS nightly and 1.6.7 and set BBCiPlayer setting delay is "none" and tested on an SB Receiver so transcoding is required. - BBC live playback is practically instant and no stop/start. The first "Live" station to play had a slight initial pause of about 3-5 secs. But subsequent plyaback of station had no pause - so I put this down to Windows caching faad.exe & flac.exe needed for trasncoding. So, in summary - the symptoms are of a system that is either not up of date somewhere (or perhaps an old cached version is being used) or else something is messing with the internet streams (e.g. security s/w). bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109826 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
