So I have your PM now. The Lumin does not like probably the HTTP chunked
mode (I remember talking with another forum member about that and
probably concluding that was yet another broken HTTP stack, non
compliant to the standard). So you can try


- Set HTTP mode to "no length"
- If this does not work, try to always send WAV/PCM/AIF files by 
- either selecting transcoding to "pcm" and then in "UPnP player
  audio capabilities", select "show advanced" and make sure that "PCM
  format" is "wav" (you can try "raw" if it does not work)
- or limit the codecs to "wav, pcm, aif"
- If this still does not work, go back to defaults and set HTTP mode
  to "fixed length"

Turning the phone didn't help as it was still impossible to see the full
text in desktop mode as well. So now I have it fixed in mobile mode but
automatic orientation so I can see the whole line in landscape mode. So
I still can't do the drag and drop.

Haha, yes, but it's something to keep in mind for users of your skill. 
I just installed LMS on a fresh pCP7 setup, and lame is not present by
default.  So it's not something that I did, it's something that I didn't
do, i.e. I didn't install lame!

I guess the argument would be that most devices don't need the audio to
be transcoded to MP3 these days, but clearly the use of stream.mp3 does,
so users of your skill who have their LMS on a pCP will need to install
the lame extension to get streaming to work.  Obviously this is
independent of whether ngrok is running under pCP - it applies to anyone
running LMS under pCP.

You are right. I use the APK on my Android phone where I have the
orientation fixed to portrait. If I set it to automatic, then I can
drag-n-drop on the phone! Kind of obvious, but I forgot the layout will
change to desktop mode if the orientation is not fixed!

Missing LAME in the install is a pretty lame excuse :p

The Echo Show 2 sounds really good but all my Dot 2 & 3 and Spots sound
awful for music - they are only useful for voice feedback and not music.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] 'MediaServer' *certified* Alexa skill for LMS

2021-01-28 Thread chill


Do I need to do anything special to make streaming to the Echo work?  If
I ask her "Alexa, ask MediaServer to stream the playlist 'Catchy'", she
finds the playlist ok, tells me that it's now streaming, and in the LMS
web interface I can see the playlist is loaded up under the 'Web Client'
player, but there's no sound from the Echo.  The transport and volume
controls in the web interface don't work either.

If I ask her to stream something else, without invoking MediaServer, she
starts playing something from Amazon Music, and that plays fine.

Any tips for getting streaming to work?

Nice. I was also doing tax-returns today so I'll have to wait until

Nothing on ngrok platform. That’s just your account platform. Just redo

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 4.0 - integrate local library with your Spotify collection (LMS 8+)

2021-01-28 Thread Michael Herger

That all sounds a bit odd... could you please share your server.log.zip
with me? You'd find it in Settings/Information.


There are various issues related to what seems lack of write 
permissions. Is the following folder and its sub folders writable for LMS?


/Users/{yourusername here}/Library/Caches/Squeezebox/

There are errors related the "InstalledPlugins" sub-folder as well as 
"updates".

Not sure what I did different, but I installed 8.2 again, downloaded the

Just for info, I also prefer not to have personalisation on, and I saw
the issue after updating to 2.13.0 also - for about 2 minutes, then
2.13.1 was available and now it is working perfectly :) New menus look

Ah, thanks that explains it.  Another scenario for me to test :)  !

I've made a tweak to fix this.  It's available from the beta repository
now as 2.13.1

I had stopped 2.13.0 downloading in the stable repo,  but I've opened it
up again now as its probably quite a rare scenario.  The fix will be the

I'm afraid I haven't tried streaming to the Echo, or even used the skill
a great deal yet - too busy concentrating on scripting!  But what little
I have used it so far has been positive, and I am getting used to the
syntax and pacing.  I'm perhaps struggling with the overlap between
MediaServer and LMS-lite, but that will come with a bit more experience.
Oh, and of course I tend to have my music too loud for Alexa to be able
to hear me clearly!

That's great, thanks.  I have the SVGs.  They are from the' BBC GEL

If you can find matching icons at

be easy - otherwise I'll need to find some matching SVGs (probably at

Yes, they are in BBC Sounds orange.
Material skin does its own thing to make them themable, it would need a
change in that to get them to be change to the theme it is using.

I'll see if Craig will accept a pull request (a code change) to get them

Oh dear, I wonder if that is a caching problem.

@chill, Nice work :cool: This stuff gets addictive when the creativity
adrenaline flows.

I'll give it a try myself later as I actually want to play with pCP and
have never set it up before so I will be a perfect noob !

Hope you're enjoying the skills. If you're new to Alexa it takes a
little while to learn to pace the commands so that she always
understands but that quickly becomes second nature. I don't have any

Upnp-Streaming is a crab at all and yes that might be an option, yet i
do need the two analog inputs of the Caruso for TV and my Thorens
turntable. The old diva itself drives a sub and two active speakers. 
All in all a very clean solution with a minimum of devices.
I discovered a stable workaround. The problem of loosing contact can be
fixed by bypassing the network connecting my old diva directly to the
router. It works with power lan or with a separate cable. Looking
forward to using an old telephone-cable for 100 Mbit in order to get rid
off the power lan. Choices ...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 4.0 - integrate local library with your Spotify collection (LMS 8+)

2021-01-28 Thread vitoruch


Hello Michael, how do U do?

I'm a big fan of Spotty, it allows me to listen to Spotify through my
best connections, with the best possible sound.

But I have an issue that haunts me frequently:

My Mac goes to sleep every night and frequently my spotty gets lost
after that - and so I cant see anymore my device in spotify connect
direct. I'm in LMS 8.1.2 now, but it happened since I started using it
in 8.0,0.

When I notice It's not showing up in sportify connect, I do:

1. Loot at LMS web (tab plugin) page and certify that it is yet
described as an active plugin
2. But then I go to Advanced tab, click in Spotty (...) and it opens a
'blank' (gray) page.
3. If I restart LMS server and go back to LMS main plugin page, It shows
now spotty as an Inactive Plugin - and I have to set it up all again
from scratch

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks in advance!

2021-01-28 Thread chill


This script should download the 64-bit ngrok binary, convert it to a tcz
package and make it load on boot.

To use it, create a file 'ngrok_installer.sh' in your home directory
(/home/tc aka ~), paste the lines of the script into it, and make the
script executable (chmod +x ngrok_installer.sh).

Then simply run the script (./ngrok_installer.sh) and reboot.

Once the Pi reboots you can type 'which ngrok' to see if it has
installed.  It should show a single entry '/usr/local/bin/ngrok'.

Everything else in the home directory should have been tidied up by the
script.  The script itself will even have disappeared unless you did a
'backup' before rebooting.


Code:

#!/bin/sh
  
  # download ngrok and convert to installable package, so that the executable 
is placed into /usr/local/bin
  
  # setup some path shortcuts
  packagename=ngrok
  workingdir=~/$packagename
  rootpath=$workingdir/usr/local/bin
  tgz=~/$packagename.tgz
  tcz=~/$packagename.tcz
  
  # create folder structure
  mkdir -p $rootpath
  
  # fetch ngrok tgz - N.B. may need to check path to this file in case it 
changes in the future
  wget https://bin.equinox.io/c/4VmDzA7iaHb/ngrok-stable-linux-arm64.tgz -O $tgz
  
  # extract the ngrok executable into the required part of the folder structure
  tar -x -f $tgz -C $rootpath
  
  # download and load squashfs-tools
  tce-load -w squashfs-tools.tcz
  tce-load -i squashfs-tools.tcz
  
  # create the ngrok package
  mksquashfs $workingdir/ $tcz
  
  # tidy up
  rm $tgz
  rm -Rf $workingdir/
  
  # move the ngrok package to the tce/optional folder
  TCEMNT="/mnt/$(readlink /etc/sysconfig/tcedir | cut -d '/' -f3)"
  mv $tcz $TCEMNT/tce/optional
  
  # add ngrok.tcz to tce/onboot.lst
  sed -i '/^ngrok.tcz/d' $TCEMNT/tce/onboot.lst #remove all previous ngrok 
entries, to make sure it's only listed once
  echo $packagename.tcz >> $TCEMNT/tce/onboot.lst



I've tested this on a fresh pCP install, and also on a machine where
ngrok was already installed, and seems to work ok.  You don't need to
change any of the path variables at the start of the script, but if you
do, TAKE CARE, because in the 'tidy up' section of the script it will
recursively and silently delete everything in $workingdir/

This also worth keeping in mind if you DON'T change the path variables,
and you already have a folder called ~/ngrok.  That will be GONE after
this script runs :)

Hello good morning, I tried to read the treats but couldn't find an
answer and apologie in advance if I didn't search properly.

I have 3 Squeezebox Radios and when I try to update the WIFI it suddenly
disappears (red network symbol) and as a result I cannot download the
update. As soon as I exit from the update menu, the WIFI network comes
back (white network symbol) but the radio sound doesn't work anymore
even if I turn the volume up to maximum. This happens to me with all 3
radios. I have also tried doing a factory reset, but the result is still
the same. 
has anyone had the same problem?

Thank you and greetings from Italy, Andrea.

Sounds like a great idea, but yeah, it would no doubt take a lot of

I may have a tinker with a pCP-specific installer script along the lines

I agree with you that going against the fast and lite philosophy of pCP
should be avoided. Even 15s is unacceptable. 

I’ve been contemplating for a while now to have a page on my site where
you answer a question or 2 and select a radio button for your platform.
Then a PHP script builds a zip that you can download with a single
click. It would be a pre-built file with the binary and the systemd file
(if needed) and the updater script. All pre-populated with your exact
setup like IP address, token, uuid, target directory for install, etc. 

I’m just worried that supporting that may turn out to be more work than
supporting and improving the skills themselves [emoji23]

Yeah, it's not -slow--slow (maybe 20 seconds or so? - not sure, haven't
timed it), but you have to keep in mind that pCP is usually booted from
an SD card and the backup goes back to that SD card.  On an older Pi,
with a slow SD card, it would probably take longer.  That extra 20s goes
against the 'ethos' of pCP, which is to have a small, light, and very
fast system, regardless of hardware.

Including the ngrok executable in the backup didn't seem to cause any
other problems, but as a pCP user it's something I'd personally want to
avoid.

Your shell script seems like a nice idea.  I looked at the links to the
binaries on the ngrok site (e.g.
https://bin.equinox.io/c/4VmDzA7iaHb/ngrok-stable-linux-arm.zip),
because a wget command would be better than downloading it to a computer
and then uploading to the Pi, but all those random characters in the
link give the impression that it might not always be the same link. 
Aside from that, the shell script could download the binary, build the
tcz, create the yml file, and also personalise the startup script, which
could be included in the tcz.

Thanks. I'll read the T's over at ngrok to see if it's allowed or not.
They do have a corporate program which allows redistribution and even
auto-generating tokens via an API but that's a paid-up option which is
much too expensive for me to consider for the LMS skills. There is a
project called https://pypi.org/project/pyngrok/ which wraps ngrok for
use in a python environment but it downloads the binary each time rather
than including it in their package.

Maybe a small shell script that just asks the user for a token and
downloads the binary and builds the tcz and creates the yml behind the
scenes would be a nice option to reduce install-friction.

I have to admit I'm surprised that backing up a 24MB file is slow on any
modern system. This is the GB and TB era so we're talking crumbs here

One reason that Paul- was reluctant to make an ngrok package is "Binary
re-distribution licensing is not clear", so I guess you'll have to
figure out if that's something you want to do.

If you want to go ahead, I can prepare the two tcz files if you wish.

2021-01-28 Thread chill


Understandably, Paul doesn't want to include the ngrok executable as a
package in pCP since it appears to be closed source.

So pCP users have a choice of where to put the ngrok executable:

1) Place it in /home/tc/.local/bin
Pro: This will mean that it's in the executable path so can be invoked
without supplying its path.  
Con: It will be included in the user's backup whenever pCP is backed up,
so the backup will be large and slow.

2) Place it in a folder on another drive, such as a third partition on
the boot drive, e.g. /mnt/PCP_DATA
Pro: This will be permanent storage, so won't be included in the user's
backup
Con1: This approach requires there to be another mounted partition, and
it has to be reliably available and when the ngrok command is invoked at
boot
Con2: This location will not be in the user's executable path, so the
path to ngrok will have to be specified whenever it is invoked.

3) Make your own 'ngrok.tcz' package so that the executable is loaded by
the system at boot.  This is the 'best' option if you are comfortable
with the steps below.
Pro: ngrok will be available in the executable path without it being
part of the user's backup
Con: Making the package involves a few more steps (below), but they're
straightforward, and 'do-and-forget'. 


Steps for making ngrok.tcz:

1)  Make this folder in your home directory:
cd ~
mkdir -p ngrok/usr/local/bin

2)  Obtain the ngrok binary from https://ngrok.com/download.  Look for
'Linux (ARM)' for pCP 32-bit or 'LINUX (ARM64)' for pCP 64-bit
Extract the single binary file from the download and place it in the
folder you've just made, /home/tc/ngrok/usr/local/bin
Your method for placing ngrok in that folder will depend on the tools
you use.
For instance, FileZilla will allow you to upload the file from your
computer to a destination on the RPi

3)  Install the squashfs-tools.tcz extension from the pCP 'Extensions'
page

4)  Make 'ngrok.tcz' with: 
cd ~
mksquashfs ngrok/ ngrok.tcz

5)  Copy the resulting ngrok.tcz to the 'tce/optional' folder with:
cp ngrok.tcz /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/optional 
If you have booted from USB, the 'tce' folder will be at a diffrent
mount point, 
so replace 'mmcblk0p2' with your 'root' partition, e.g. 'sdb2'

6)  Edit the onboot.lst in the tce folder to include ngrok.tcz  
e.g. use 'vi' on the pCP, or the linked file editor in FileZilla

7)  Backup and reboot your pCP.  After rebooting you should now have the
ngrok executable in /usr/local/bin.
Type 'which ngrok' to check.

8)  Assuming that works, remove the ngrok folder and the ngrok.tcz from
your home directory to minimise the size of your pCP backup.
cd ~
rm ngrok.tcz
rm -Ri ngrok/ # the -i option will prompt for every deletion. Check
that it's doing what you expect before answering 'y'
Finally, backup pCP again, otherwise those deleted files will come back
after a reboot!

I don't know where it would put it though.
