So I was indeed missing something obvious! I'd been hunting every which where in Spotty with the suspicion that there must be something as useful as a shuffle setting somewhere. It didn't occur to look "outside", as it were, in LMS. Now I know. I still yearn for a place where all these things could be looked up. You know, like an old fashioned (and much missed) manual.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Material Skin
I'm currently developing what I think will be v2.0 of Material, and I'm
trying to ensure Material has all the features of the Default skin, so
would like to know of any that are missing? For 2.0 I've added:
- 'Extras' section. Disabled by default, and can be enabled in the
'Settings' dialog. Items are shown in the same manner as the settings
pages; i.e. Material uses a re-themed Classic skin page embedded into
an iframe.
- SugarCube pages are added to 'Extras' (so adding to customactions
is not required).
- Added a directory chooser dialog to the 'Basic Settings' page
I noticed that 'TrackStat' and 'DynamicPlaylists' can appear under
'Extras', with some features that are not there when in Material's
browse view. Currently I manually exclude these items, should I add them
under 'Extras'? Have them in both places ('My Music' and 'Extras'), just
'My Music', or just 'Extras' ??
There are, of course, more changes than this for 2.0, but these are the
features that are in the Default skin and were missing from Material.
I'm not promising to implement all missing features, but I'd at least
like to know what they are...

[SlimDevices: Plugins] piCorePlayer / default playlist
I have the following environment 3 Raspberry Pi, all of them with piCorePlayer. The first one runs the LMS. This one also has a display and jivelite and squeezelite is running. The other two pCP´s are only players. Both of them are players for a BT-Speaker, so i have in summary 5 players Player one Player two Player two BT Player three Player three BT I have build a Group with the Groups Plugin called 1st Floor. This Group has two members, Player one and Player two BT. Now the following happened. I give power an the BT-Speaker. The BT-connection with Player two is build. When the connection is established and the Player two BT exists he becomes a member of the Group 1st Floor. On Player one the display is going on and the last playlist is working. In 90% of all cases it is a Radio-Stream. When i turn of the power of the BT-speaker the Player one is also going off(stop playing and display off). And now it is not possible to play the last Radio-Station on player one. I turn on the player one, i see the last Radio-Station but when i try to start playing it doesn´t work. I had to choose another Radio-Station or a Track of my musik on the NAS and then back. It is not a Problem but not a goal for the woman acceptance factor:-) What can i do to play the preferred Radio-Station at every time when i start Player one regardless of how the player is switched on(tap on display, power on on the website)? best regards, sky skywalker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10849 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113057 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Wow, I love folks like you that know what you are doing, thanks for the
info. The odd thing is that SLX will not attempt to load the URL until
after it receives a message from the LMS server that the squeezelite
player has connected ("client connect" or "client reconnect". If I have
just received a "client connect" message from the server, then I would
think the server could select that player.
I took a quick look at those streams, which appear to show requests to
the server coming from the skin as opposed to SLX itself. That gives me
an idea that when SLX wakes up, its browser (material skin) starts doing
its own thing before I am really ready for it to. So, even though Isay
I am not loading the url, the browser/skin actually is doing stuff
beforehand. To prevent that I thinking I need to make sure I set the
browser url to nothing on sleep, so when it wakes the browser does not
try interacting with the server until I call LoadUrl after the player is
registered.
Again, thanks!

Good that you mention the Loetzimmer TTS shell script documented at https://blog.loetzimmer.de/2017/10/amazon-alexa-hort-auf-die-shell-echo.html and also https://github.com/walthowd/ha-alexa-tts which I use extensively at home for TTS.

Hello, I used Spotty on my LMS earlier in the year with a 3 month Spotify trial. It worked flawlessly. When the trial ended I disabled the Spotty plugin. I have just bought a Spotify subscription and so I went o re-enable Spotty (now v4.4.0) This time it won't launch, throwing up an error on the server. Can you suggest a fix please? Thanks in advance. Spotty.exe - System Error The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Squeezelite-X
Hi Greg.
It's not password protected, and I am using Material Skin. The problem
is very reproduceable, so I got a wireshark capture by leaving wireshark
running as I suspended and re-awoke the PC. From looking at the capture
and trying to surmise what it's doing, there are a few different HTTP
interactions, but looking at the key one (stream 25) it seems to do the
following:
POST REQUEST WITH PARAMETERS:
{\"ID\":0,\"METHOD\":\"SLIM.REQUEST\",\"PARAMS\":[\"\",[\"SERVERSTATUS\",0,100]]}
This gets a response that lists among other things all the connected
players *but NOT the squeezelite-X player itself*.
POST REQUEST WITH PARAMETERS
{\"DATA\":{\"RESPONSE\":\"/C9ED997C/SLIM/SERVERPREFS\",\"REQUEST\":[[\"PREFSET\"]]},\"ID\":\"38\",\"CHANNEL\":\"/SLIM/SUBSCRIBE\",\"CLIENTID\":\"C9ED997C\"}
[/B]
THIS GETS A SUCCESS RESPONSE.
[B]POST REQUEST WITH PARAMETERS
{\"ID\":0,\"METHOD\":\"SLIM.REQUEST\",\"PARAMS\":[\"CC:CC:09:E2:4B:D0\",[\"STATUS\",0,500,\"TAGS:CDEGILQTYSAKNS\"]]}
This gets a success response with a bunch of details about the player
with the MAC address cc:cc:. which is the player that it always
incorrectly picks, which is NOT the squeezelite-X player.
So it looks to me like it's what I had suggested previously, at the
point where the server is queried for the list of active players, the
Squeexelite-X player has not yet been registered. So it can't be chosen,
and it ends up picking the first one in the list instead.
There's another stream (stream 22) as well, which looks like it might be
the one that is actually registering the local player. That seems to get
a failure, it then retries and gets a success, and then sends a few more
"subscribe" requests.
I've attached the full decodes as text files on the assumption they'll
mean more to you (or mherger) than me !

Probably because the default skin is setting the library on the player. Still, the issue is with LMS, not Material.

The way the default skin works is that it sets a library view on the -player-, material does not do this (well it can if you use Player Settings). But as stated, the call material is performing is correct, its LMS that is not returning items. Material -is- different to other controllers, and deliberately so. Most LMS UIs configure the list of browse modes, and set the active library, per-player. When you change player these are also changed. This is one aspect I've *never* liked.

I always hated SqueezeCtrl going back to the top-level browse whenever I changed a player (I'd browse to an album, then decide to change player, and had to browse all over again). So, Material sets its browse modes, and library, per Material instance. What I guess is happning is that if the library is set on the player, then LMS gets the list of albums in that library then gets the newest ones. Whereas in the call I am using, I'm guessing it gets the 100 newest albums *then* applies the library filtering. If so, this is an LMS issue. *Material debug:* 1.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] 'MediaServer' *certified* Alexa skill for LMS
I'm not suggesting that the player necessarily has to be permanently visible. I use Philippe's bridge for UPnP. I have it set so that the LMS player only appears when the UPnP device is switched on and has been detected. I know that play cannot be initiated from outside of the Alexa voice command/skill (not 100% true but near enough - e.g. some are using web commands to make Alexa perform text to speech functions). However, today, the bridge maintains its own list of detected devices and they can be configured within the constraints of the plugin (not as an LMS player). Perhaps no per device configuration will be required within the bridge since so little can be adjusted from outside however, I was describing ways that things could work like the other bridges do it already.

My "Classical" library view shows empty in Material skin.
31831
If I go to the Default skin and select to use "Classical" library view,
it then works using the Material skin.
31832
But as of today this is completely new behavior, never had to select the
library view in Default before.

I saw your posts in the other thread, and did a quick test - all appears
fine to me, or at least matches the default UI. What are you seeing that
you are not expecting, or vice versa? Have you tried with the default
web UI, before and after selecting a library?
As you can see from your debug, LMS says there are 100 items
(-{"count":100}-), but returns none. What I -think- is happening is that
LMS is getting the 100 newest albums, and then filtering out by library
- if none of these are in the chosen library, none are returned. Where
as it should filter by library, and then select the 100 newest from
that.
If a library is set in Material, it always passes that to LMS qhen
making calls.

Having a list of virtual Echo players in the GUI would give the illusion that playback can be started from the GUI which is not the case. A stream can only be started by voice. Once started it can be modified in the GUI for sure. But skills are not allowed to send audio to an Echo without a voice command preceding. After changing the audio from the GUI you either have to say Alexa, resume to pick up the modified stream or wait for the buffer to empty. That would no longer be necessary with a starved stream. But the initial Stream whatever command would always have to be voice and not GUI. Thats the danger in having persistent virtual players that are always there and is why I only create a GUI entry after a stream was started by voice. philchillbill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111016 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

There's no value in knowing either the IP address or MAC address of an Echo, as there is no way to send audio to them on that basis. Knowing their 'names' is something that the skill already indirectly does via the *Assume* command which sets a default Squeezebox for each Echo to target when a player name is omitted from a spoken command. All this actually does under the hood is set up a dict with Echo deviceId to Squeezebox friendlyName mappings. During player discovery by the skill (which is not Amazon's Smart Home discovery but just my own code querying LMS directly via jsonrpc.js), the MAC addresses of the Squeezeboxes are retrieved so that we then have an Echo deviceId to Squeezebox playerId mapping. I could send that Echo deviceId info to the LMS bridge upon player discovery by the skill, but as I said I do not see much value in having a pre-configured array of virtual Echos within LMS and I'm fine with them being created and destroyed as-needed. If there were a pre-defined bunch of virtual Echos, they would all need their own unique stream URLs and just one /stream.m3 would not suffice. philchillbill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111016 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Music & Artist Information plugin
I have just noticed that sometimes the plugin is not loading and I have to restart LMS to make it appear. I don't know if it's related to the plugin or LMS version because I didn't notice before. How do you realise it's not loaded? Anything in server.log? -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Music & Artist Information plugin
Hi Michael and others, First thanks for this plugin, I'm using it for some months and I'm happy with it. I have just noticed that sometimes the plugin is not loading and I have to restart LMS to make it appear. I don't know if it's related to the plugin or LMS version because I didn't notice before. Plugin version: 1.6.24 LMS version: 8.0.0 - 1601590552 @ Fri Oct 2 01:09:07 CEST 2020 8.0 Thanks Z Zabizabo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99537 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

However, the other pCp Pis are still only announced when using a device logged in to Spotify with "my" credentials. Any further sleuthing I can do? I really appreciate your help. Kind regards Mark 4 Pis running piCoreplayer served by LMS on a Seagate Dockstar running Squeezeplug .
