Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] SqueezeLite on Windows pausing, interruption, dropout of audio every 5 minutes
@ ralphy I don't see any *volatile* modifier in the code although there is data shared among threads, e.g. the read/write positions of the buffers. Is that by design? Everything seems to be synchronized via mutexes, however, if I understand volatile correctly, data updated on one thread could be lost on another thread when this thread has the data cached. fpo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71212 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113554 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Default stream buffer size is 2 MiB. One post mentions -b 655360:1310720, which is about 1.8 GiB total buffer size (stream+output). I'm tempted to assume *that* is not the solution if squeezelite as a core component is supposed to run on small sytems. What you get with a big stream buffer is that the whole mp3 file is read in one fell swoop. That might just mask the problem. What about folks that listen to classical music. Those files can be fairly large. Moreover, the problem seems not only related to the buffer size but also specific to mp3 files. I have not noticed dropouts when playing flac files. I'm testing with -b 256 which results in a 256 kiB stream buffer size since its multiplied internally by 1024. The files I'm testing with are about 6 MB in size. So there should be plenty of wrapping around in the stream buffer. Wrapping around does not seam to be a problem with flac data. Is there anything special when wrapping around mp3 data? Looking at the code I don't think so. The dropouts are really fickle. E.g. when I'm testing I'm reading stderr programmatically and writing to a memory buffer. I can make the dropouts disappear when I put a small delay in the logging function. So it's seems contingent on the internal timing within squeezelite. Different cpu frequencies, different cache sizes etc. can thus make the dropouts appear or disappear. fpo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71212 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113554 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

If this is the ALSA buffer under-run problem in a different guise, then: A) you may be the only person in the world who knows what it sounds like, and B) the Buffer Size Applet may very well help. (Although initial stream start up may still remain "at risk".) I did notice a couple of tell-tail signs in the "old" firmware log. The "new" firmware will not log anything because there is never an ALSA buffer under-run. Just, perhaps, an audible click in its stead. I will need to update the Applet's manifest to SqueezePlay version 8 before it will be made available through the Applet installer. (I had cautiously curtailed it to version 7). I'll try and get that done this evening. The 22Khz sample rate failure was just weird. A thoroughly unexpected issue (read: bug) within the ALSA rate conversion plugin, which meant it rejected a 22kHz stream with a 30ms buffer. I found a simple work-around (specify a buffer of 29.999ms, or thereabouts). Why only from the Alarm function ? I don't know. Possibly there is a slightly different start up sequence for the stream which makes it more susceptible to delays or problems on start up. Let me know if increasing the buffer size to 30ms helps. mrw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38299 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113479 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Did you have to do anything specific in Material skin to make it work
for Custom Browse/Multi Library based menus ?
If you didnt it feels like it would be preferred if it was an option
when saving a library in LMS to specify if it should be shown on top
level, that way it would work with most user interfaces/apps and not
just with Material skin. Not sure if Michael have the time to look into
it right now but it feels like a good general feature to improve the
virtual library functionality. Would probably be possible to implement
in a plugin also if someone would be willing to implement one.

Wouldnt it work similar if you created one virtual library for each one
of the few top level menus ?
Or do you get a lot of extra navigation steps with the virtual library
functionality?
As previously mentioned, I havent used the virtual library
functionality myself, so forgive me if Im missing something obvious.

It's > hard to describe, but it's rough and quiet, almost like maybe it's only > playing half of each sample. I played out your station last night on one of my Radios (saved as a favourite). While it worked I did note difficulties with connecting. So I set the station as an alarm both on an "old" firmware and a "new" firmware Radio, to go off this morning. The "old" firmware was unable to connect, and played out the fall-back alarm track instead. Apparently it only allows 25 seconds before deciding that a station is "bad", and playing out the fall-back alarm. The "new" firmware did connect, and played out fine for a few minutes. It apparently allows 60 seconds before deciding that a station is bad, so perhaps the extra time allowed it to successfully connect. After a few minutes the remote station must have given up, because the Radio switched to the fall-back alarm. I was not aware of any roughness in the sound quality while it was playing. So, based on my very limited trial, I would say your radio station is unreliable, at least at present. If it has been consistently unreliable in the past, I would expect you to have been regularly subjected to the "fall-back" alarm, instead of the station. Has that been your experience ? As regards the roughness of the sound that you heard, it is possible that this is a by-product of the combination of an unreliable stream and a change made to mitigate the effects of "bass drop out". Refer this post for a description: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?104141-Bass-amp-problem=981578=1#post981578 > > There is a small downside, in that any time that an under-run would have > otherwise occurred, we will get a small, audible, click in the playback. > I haven't particularly become aware of this in "real use". It's quite possible that an unreliable server is causing a number of micro "under-runs" in the audio, leading to the effect you describe. I don't know, though, because I haven't personally encountered the issue in a year or so of using the modified firmware. Perhaps the mitigation should be made a "switchable" option in the next release. My experience suggests that "on" should be the default. I'll give it some thought and, perhaps, make a proposal. mrw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38299 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113479 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce : BBC Sounds Plugin
I'm just using it with the default settings now, which so far seem pretty sensible. One question I have is about the "Track Image". Listening mostly to 6Music, I fairly often end up with a greyed-out BBC sounds logo instead of a track image. Is this because the BBC just serve that up when they don't have an image, and the plugin therefore displays it ? Or is it actually having a problem fetching images that should be present ? tw99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51684 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113045 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Navigate into 'My Music' and there is a button allowing you to select the library to use. This sets the library that the current instance of Material will use, it does not set it on the player. So, whilst browsing with Material you can change player and the library will not change. If you need to change it on the player, so that it is active for things such as 'Random Mix' then you can set the player's library in the player settings dialog. *Material debug:* 1.
