Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 4.6 - sorting option for Albums/Artists/Songs, replay gain fix

[Michael Herger]

Could you try disabling the local announcements ("...nicht im lokalen
Netzwerk bekannt geben")?


I have tried to activate this but it didnt solve the issue. When I
activate the option: "disabling the local announcements..." I cannot see
the player anymore in the Spotify app.


Are you using multiple accounts in Spotty? Are you phone and Spotty 
using the same account? Or is your Spotify app configured to only show 
local devices?

Hi, Greg. I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. I've had a lot going
on lately, and have also been working on some changes to the client menu
processing logic in the Denon plugin that were necessitated by the new
Quick Select functionality shown at the bottom of the screen shot I
posted previously. The latest version (v4.3) containing those changes
was just published on Sunday. To answer some of your questions:

* The client plugin menu shown on the screen shot is implemented via a
Slim::Control::Jive menu and is currently only fully supported for the
Squeezer (Android) and iPeng (iOs) client apps. I did not code the menu
integration framework and am not sure exactly what has to be done on the
client side in order to make use of it. I do know that some work is
required and that the Squeezer and iPeng developers cooperated with us
in getting it up and running with their clients. For instance, although
the basic menu structure works with the Squeeze Ctrl client, some of the
menu objects do not function correctly there, among those being the
sliders used in the channel volume menu.

* To use the plugin's audio settings client menu in the apps that
support it, it is necessary to turn on the "Enable audio settings
menus?" option in the LMS server settings for the plugin under
"Player->DENON AVP/AVR Control", which is disabled by default. If you
have an Android device, I suggest that you try it out using the Squeezer
client app, which is very robust and is also free.

* Yes, there is a forum for the Denon AVP/AVR plugin (to be
distinguished from the Denon Serial plugin, which also uses Telnet on
port 23). You can find it 'here'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?60114-Announce-Denon-AVP-Control-Plugin/page66).
However, there has not been much activity recently due to the fact that
the functionality and reliability of the plugin has been improved over
the past few months to the point that there have been no requests for
improvements or bug fixes for some time now.  ;-)   

Regarding the limitations of using Telnet to communicate with the AVR,
our plugin is different than most other similar apps in that we operate
in an asynchronous manner and do not maintain

These files were created by LMS by doing a search for a Genre or a type
of play list on either the LMS web interface or the Squeezer (the
Android LMS app I use). Once created, a few songs will play, then the
LMS locks up, and I can't access it either via the web interface or the
Squeezer app. I have to restart the container and either stop the Spotty
plugin, or delete the .m3u playlist file to get it to work again. 

If I play a playlist or genre via the Spotify app, and play it on the
Squeezebox receiver, that works fine.

Material with large fonts gets close to the above car mode. 

The big problem with using lms and mp3 files is there isn't an
intuitive/easy way to bookmark.  She tried with the bookmark plugin but
it quickly descended into chaos and frustration.

I'd like to thank you all for your suggestions.

(One thing I've learned from all is just how poorly served the disabled
are by existing IT structures and software designs).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Radio Now Playing plugin

[Paul Webster]

Beta 0.0.12a adds RTE (Ireland) to the list of stations.
This is a migration from my old RTE plugin that was not working since
RTE removed an API that it was using.

It shows programme name, duration and image.
Unfortunately they do not have song information.

There is an issue that I still have to resolve where the wrong programme
can be shown for the first minute of playing a new station and I hope to
be able to show the programme description at some point.

HLS(AAC) and MP3 streams listed.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce - Programme info plugin for RTE Ireland

[Paul Webster]

Some months ago RTE removed the API that I was using to collect the
programme data.
I've found another one to use - although it lacks the programme
description (for now at least).

So I've moved the functionality of this plugin over to my Radio Now
Playing plugin - in beta 0.0.12a

Therefore, if you have this RTE plugin installed you should remove it.

As before - no song info available so not the most useful plugin.
But they do not have song info on their site or in the mobile phone app
- so it is consistent.

I use the settings in Equalizer APO/Peace. But like I said EQ Inguz has

Hello,

I will check the next days if some ports are blocked but as I have seen

Just learned from Michael even easier method of updating Docker LMS

1. Download new image from same tag as existing one
2. Stop existing container
3. Action => Reset
4. Re- Start container 

That's it. You are now running updated version of tag of your choice. 

(As long as your current container is properly set up and has config
mapped to NAS Docker folder as per setup instructions )

I like the idea. I guess that would require some non-trivial code

My problem is time. Some changes in my life mean that going forward I
will have even less time to spend on LMS/plugins. I'll do my best to
keep DPL and the other plugins alive. And if I can't they'll always be

BTW since you seem to be very creative with plugins maybe take a look at
Craig's '*MusicSimiliarity*'
(https://github.com/CDrummond/music-similarity) (and the '*LMS companion
plugin*' (https://github.com/CDrummond/lms-musicsimilarity)). It
calculates how similar your tracks are to each other. Then you can "get
random tracks similar to seed tracks chosen from the current play
queue". Very cool stuff!

Not working for me at this point, either.  I thought I had success with
this in the past, but I may have not thoroughly tested my work.  In any
case, it's not a -parametric- equalizer so setting center frequency is
less necessary.  If you need finer control over inflection points, set
your equalizer to have more bands.  For instance, the 31-band EQ has
seven sliders below 100 Hz; just pick the one closest to your target. 
If you want a wider Q, tweak the bands to either side of your target.

IIRC, you're primarily listening to this player via headphones.  I'd use
another "real-time" EQ app to get things sounding the way you want, then
duplicate those settings in Inguz.  foobar2000 has a good 31-band EQ
"Graphic Equalizer" plugin that uses the exact same center frequencies
as Inguz.  Otherwise, you're making changes and waiting 10-15 seconds
for them to take effect.  That will be frustrating.

nyindieguy wrote:

> understand the relationship between DPL and SQL Playlist.
Just think of DPL as some kind of random play with lots of options for
fine-tuning the selection of the tracks you want to listen to.
DPL uses sql queries to fetch tracks. Before DPL v3 the -source- of
these sql queries had to be other plugins like SQLPlayList, TrackStat,
or CustomScan. DPL asks these plugins if they want to provide any sql
queries (=dynamic playlists) and if so, DPL will list them. 
With DPL v3 I've added 2 new options: -built-in- dynamic playlists and
the option to create your own -custom- dynamic playlists and use them
directly in DPLv3, without relying on other plugins.
For dynamic playlists think of SQLPlayList as a sql query generator with
a user interface. It takes your playlist parameter choices and creates a
sql query file (either sql.xml or as a xml template). It assists you in
creating sql queries.
Since DPL and SQLPlayList use the same sql query format you could easily
export most of your SQLPlayLists as customized sql query files and uses
them in DPL directly. That's probably good to bear in mind if
SQLPlayList should ever stop working properly.

So when I talk about using custom dynamic playlists I usually mean
creating custom sql query files and putting them in the DPL custom
playlist folder. It's a very powerful option because you can create
exactly the kind of dynamic playlist you want. And it probably sounds
more difficult than it actually is.

It seems that CustomSkip does not properly skip songs in dynamic
playlists because there's a block of code in CustomSkip that prevents
that. I've uploaded a slighly revised version of CustomSkip to
'*github*' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-customskip) that should fix
this.

In your case you would certainly benefit from a custom dynamic playlist
tailored to your specific needs. Below is custom dynamic playlist based
on your screenshot. Open your text editor, copy the sql code below
and save it as "nameofyourchoice*.sql.xml*". The file extension
*.sql.xml* is important. Now put this file into the -DPL custom playlist
folder- (should be in your playlist folder if you haven't changed the
location).


Code:


  -- PlaylistName:Random songs from collection - ignore songs in selected 
playlist
  -- PlaylistParameter1:playlist:Select playlist to ignore:
  select distinct tracks.url from tracks
left join dynamicplaylist_history on
dynamicplaylist_history.id=tracks.id and 
dynamicplaylist_history.client='PlaylistPlayer'
where
tracks.audio = 1
and tracks.secs >= 'PlaylistTrackMinDuration'
and dynamicplaylist_history.id is null
and not exists (select * from tracks t2,playlist_track
where
t2.url=tracks.url and
tracks.url = 
playlist_track.track and
playlist_track.playlist 
!= 'PlaylistParameter1')
and not exists (select * from tracks t3,genre_track,genres
where
t3.id=tracks.id and

tracks.id=genre_track.track and

genre_track.genre=genres.id and
genres.name in 
('Alternate 
Version','Avantgarde','Baseball','Broadway','Christmas','Comedy','Country','Electronic','Ethnic','Hip
 Hop','Jazz','Jazz-Fusion','Live','Novelty','Raga','Soundtrack','Spoken 
Word','Standards','Unreleased Rarity'))
group by tracks.url
order by random()
limit 'PlaylistLimit';
  



This new playlist should now appear in the not-classified group. Adapt
it to your needs (name, excluded genre list).

I'm not sure I understand. Same as in v2 you can't -create- new dynamic
playlists in DPL with the user interface. The only way you can add new
dynamic playlists to DPL (as explained in the beginning) is by adding
sql query files to the DPL custom playlist folder or in other plugins
like SQLPlayLists.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)

[shinedou]

Would there be a way (in the current or a future version) to create a
DPL where the user is prompted for an artist to random play BUT instead
of choosing one artist the user *can select multiple artist*. This would
create a dynamic mix using all the selected artist's songs. I understand
I can build a playlist that already has the included artists as part of
the playlist but I want to be able to build this dynamically. 

Even better would be a context menu type playlist that can be used on
the artist browse page when using the select feature where the user
could checkbox multiple artists and then clicking the context menu DPL
and it plays random from all artist selected.

If not now or ever this would definitely be something I would like to
explore accomplishing so if you have any suggestions it would be great.
Thank you for keeping this great plugin alive.

Thanks for this. I guess some of this is over my head as I really don't
understand the relationship between DPL and SQL Playlist. I believe that
you said in a prior post that if I set Custom Skip to work on all
playlists, that would solve the issue. If so, I think that would be OK
for my purposes, even though all my static playlists wouldn't really
need it. What I'm finding confusing is that if I go into your version of
DPL and create a new list by selecting the parameters and then I save it
as a favorite, it creates a new SQL file. Then I have to go into
SQLPLayist and refresh. Once I do that, the new playlist appears within
DPL and seems to work. Sorry if my questions are too basic. And thanks
for your responsiveness.

Possibly worth a look... But audible files have to be 'processed' to get
an mp3 version. Adds another complication into what should be easy. 

A further pricey option would be to get an apple ipad and just airplay

The LMS Podcast feature allows bookmarked start/stop but needs an RSS
feed?

Why not create your own RSS feed. You would need some web space locally
to store the mp3's and then a simple XML file that references them
Then you would "subscribe" the LMS Podcast feature to that feed.

Dude, the message you're quoting was *not* directed at *you*. Like *at
all*. Ok? If you'd taken a single look at the github page before
accusing me of negligence you'd know there's a paragraph on how to
revert to v2. Auto-updating to v3 happened for a lot of people because
LMS didn't distinguish between the old and new plugin IDs and only
looked at the plugin name. Seems to me that reverting to v2 is the way
for you to go. And it is documented on the github page. Other people
have done it.

While CustomSkip will work for literally anything else with global
skipping enabled there's a code block in CS that relies on the DPL v2
and prevents CS from filtering tracks in DPL mixes. Many of Erland's
plugins were in some ways closely 'interlocked'.
One of my objectives was to maintain as much backwards compatibility as
possible while making these ties optional and non-essential. This way
plugins that are deprecated (CustomSkip) and/or will probably stop
working properly at some point (SQLPlayList, MultiLibrary) wouldn't
break DPL in the future. I'm very sure now you understand that I cannot
guarantee that -deprecated- plugins will continue to work completely or
indefinitely with new versions of DPL. So the change has to happen in
CustomSkip because DPL has moved on.

I'll upload a version of CustomSkip to my github repo without the
mentioned code block that should work with DPLv3. But *I won't provide
-any- support for CustomSkip*. You can either install that version
manually or delete the code block in your CS plugin yourself. Or revert
to v2.
That's it from me.

I really appreciate your effort, however this is still far from the

With v3.2.1 you have 2 options to achieve this: 

- I've added a dynamic playlist that plays random songs but ignores all
tracks from a selected playlist. You'd have to choose the genres to

Yes, but unfortunately this is still not working as should be and was
previously. Custom Skip is a great feature for running large libraries
without having the need to tag songs or albums. 

Pictures show my configuration.

I’ve only seen the format to be “artist - title” with a hyphen between
them. I’m guessing that was done for devices with a one-line display.
The station name does not appear in this as it is defined in the JSON as
remote_title rather than current_title.

In the end i converted my Dsf files to Flac and play them that way.  ifi
still haven't released a firmware that allows greater flexibility with
squeezlite.  I do still keep looking though!

Cheers :)

Yes, that's the idea, to enable the programme info to be available via
Alexa rather than just the stream name. The change may well also apply
to your other radio plugins as well. If you want to do a beta I'm happy
to test as I have an Alexa set-up in place.
