Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Material Skin

2021-11-07 Thread rincage


I have a Google home/nest hub device sat right next to my hi-fi set up.
Does anyone know how I can get it to browse to my material player at
http://192.168.0.5:9000/material/

I know it has a browser on the device, but you can't just load it, you
have to somehow navigate to it with your voice. And even if I do, is
there a way to "bookmark" it so I can get back to it again?

Unsupported plugins only appear after a user have manually installed
them, confirmed that they work and issued a pull-request towards the
unsupported repo:
https://github.com/LMS-Community/lms-plugin-repository/blob/master/unsupported.xml
If people don’t know how to make a pull request they can also just tell
mherger or another community developer to do it for them.

So the reason Custom Skip doesn’t appear is that nobody has done this
yet. People using Custom Skip on 8.0 have installed it before they
upgraded to LMS 8.* or manually installed it after they setup LMS 8.*

The reason for the above process is to ensure plugins which have never
worked on 8.* doesn’t appear in the unsupported list.

2021-11-07 Thread RobbH


Following up, the only issue I've encountered is that where dynamic
playlists from earlier versions of DPL3 had been saved as favorites, the
favorites no longer work. I don't think that's surprising. The playlists
still work, so it's just a matter of deleting the old favorites and
saving new ones.

Actually I think I phrased that last part about coexisting in a
misleading way (edited my post now). It was about making sure that these
new versions 3 (with the different name) wouldn't block the listing of
the previous versions 2 in the "unsupported extensions" section. Thanks
for confirming that for DPL v2. And at least I know the missing
CustomSkip2 is not related to CustomSkip v3. So that's something.
Thanks.

I don't think I'm someone who knows his way around Github, but I can
follow simple instructions, sometimes correctly. I've removed your old
repo and added the new one. I've uninstalled the previous version of
DPL3 and re-installed from the new repo. I then had both DPL2 and DPL3
installed, and two Dynamic Playlists entries under My Music. Uninstalled
DPL2 and everything appears to be back to normal, but it hasn't really
been tested yet.

I also do not see the old Custom Skip, which I have never used, in the
Unsupported Plugins list, or anywhere else. DPL2 also did not appear in
that list at first, but it's now there again. Your Custom Skip shows up
in the right place.

Hej.
Thank you for your opinion. The voice of reason always has a nice ring
to it.
Download counts suggest that apparently once DPLv3 is removed from the
LMS main repo  future versions would only reach a small fraction of all
previous DPL v3 users which is kind of sad. Adding external repo urls
seems to be a lot less common than I'd hoped.
So you're right, it'd probably be better if DPL v3 remained part of the
LMS main repo.
Therefore I've changed the internal plugin name that LMS uses, both for
Dynamic Playlists 3 and Custom Skip 3.

But even if I add DPL3 or CS3 to the LMS main repo (again) one thing
remains:
due to some changes in my life I'll have even less time to spend on LMS
plugins.
I don't know yet what this will mean for these plugins (and others) but
we'll see.
That was actually the main reason I'd considered removing DPL3 from the
main repo.

BTW when I did some tests on a *clean* LMS 8.2.1 test system CustomSkip
2.5.83 didn't show up in the list of "unsupported extensions" for me.
It's still listed in the main repo xml file though, just didn't show on
the settings > plugins page under "unsupported extensions". All of the
other plugins did though. Can anybody reproduce this?

For testing purposes I've added the versions with the different internal
name to this repo
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AF-1/lms-customskip/main/public.xml
I did some preliminary tests but maybe users who know their way around
github (RobbH et al.) could confirm that they still work as they should
and whether the new versions, once installed, peacefully coexist with
the old unsupported versions of DPL and CS in the LMS main repo.

Take care. Thanks again.

Hi Craig, 
thanks a lot for driving this plugin and your work on Material and

I used an earlier version of you music-similarity plugin, before you

Maybe others can chime in who use OSMC - I know about some reports who
were successful in the past. 
However a lot of things changed also for the OSMC image since August
2021 - OSMC changed to Kodi Matrix and a lot of parts were adapted and
patched to account for all Kodi changes (including drivers, potentially
for IP interfaces, a lot of stuff still manual down-stream patches). 
I still do not believe this should cause issues for MusicIP, but you
never know - maybe other users of OSMC can share their version and if
MusicIP still works
The issue is not that MusicIP is not running - the issue is the
communication via API / Webinterface

Unfortunately, there is nothing... however I was able to solve it, but
no plan what was the issue. LMS restart did not help, but restarting OS
solved the issue... that is probably the reason why nothing is in LMS

It is installed on a VM running on Synology NAS.

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

2021-11-07 Thread philchillbill


You can now specify a player name together with the favorite name when
using the PlayFavorite command. Same is true for the PlayPlaylist
command. :cool:

If you say e.g. "Play favorite Radio Paradise *on the* Kitchen player",
the bridge /(?:in|on)\s(?:the)?\s?/i will be used to split your
utterance. If the portion after the split (fuzzy) matches one of your
player names, that will be taken as the player to target and the
leftmost portion before the bridge will be used as the favorite name to
match against. If there's no match post-bridge against a player name,
the bridge is assumed to be part of the actual favorite name itself and
the split is abandoned. None of this applies when using the Stream
variant of both commands as in that case there never is a player
specification (the Echo itself is the inherent target).

See https://mediaserver.smartskills.tech/commandref/PlayFavorite.html#34
and https://mediaserver.smartskills.tech/commandref/PlayPlaylist.html#37
for details.

Originally I saw the difference with a browser - then I repeated from a
command line and saw no difference - odd but maybe some sort of
caching.

Lisbon is also on same TZ as Dublin & London. London and Lisbon results
looks the same.  Dublin has extra DST data but the "dst" flag field is
false for all - which could be read to means ignore the DST  stuff such
as dst_offset.

Definitely treatment of Dublin is different to London and Lisbon - so it
cannot be blamed on EU (who determine DST dates for Ireland)

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite issue with DAC name ?

2021-11-07 Thread nickhews

I have searched this forum for possible answers without success, but if
it has been dealt with feel free to point me in the right direction.
Until then ….

I run pCp 8 with LMS on an Rpi4, but cannot connect it successfully to
my DAC, a Furutech ADL GT40a (this last character is a small Greek
alpha) with USB input. It does find it but apparently can't handle the
name (I think).

When connected to any of the USB sockets (usb 2 or usb 3) on my Rpi4,
the following happens when selecting USB Audio and choosing the DAC from
the list of devices exposed :

DAC name in Squeezelite shows: hw:CARD=GT40,DEV=0  (note the
unusual symbol)

There are further iterations of this device name on the page, but I
cannot get that screenshot onto this post, for some reason.

When I go to 'Save' in Squeezelite an error message “Please match the
requested format” appears next to the Output Setting box,  as if it
cannot handle one or more of the characters in the name.
If I make a simple change to the saved name in 'Output Setting' (eg
removing the symbol) Squeezelites saves it, backs up the change, but
will not restart (not unexpectedly).

I have tried replacing the symbol with the Arial character map symbol
(small greek alpha) but this is also rejected by the Squeezelite page,
before saving.

Picoreplayer in USB Audio mode works fine when I select a USB-based
bluetooth extender option (not currently connected), which plays to my
bt headphones, so the problem is not with the Rpi4 USB.
As a further check I have installed and run Moode 7.41 with this DAC, on
the same Rpi4, and it works fine – found immediately and plays very
well, so I don't think the problem is related to drivers or to a basic
Linux issue.

I am fairly sure that the symbol in the DAC name is the problem. On my
Eunhasu SMS200 streamer, which includes LMS+Squeezelite, this problem
also occurred and was cured/corrected by the Eunhasu engineers making a
change to how their implementation of Squeezelite handled the unusual
symbol.

I would not expect the developers here to make a special change in
pCp/Squeezelite but could the problem be overcome by my writing a change
into a config or other file? For example could the  symbol be seen as
another character, one that Squeezelite is happy with? 
I realise that getting Squeezelite to accept a modified name may not
allow Squeezelite to then talk back to the device, so my idea may not be
the right approach, but any relevant suggestions are welcome.

Only quickly looking at the data from worldtimeapi.org - in their
datetime filed - there is a difference of 4 minutes between Dublin and
London !!  

Definitely something is wrong with worldtimeapi.org

Yes it is but the API provider represents the data in a different way
for Dublin and London.

In the future they might be different - e.g. if only one of them decide
to stop switching to DST.
I suspect it will not happen, at least while Northern Ireland is part of
UK.

The API provider is looking into it but as a workaround … edit the
plug-in’s stationdata-rte.json and change the timezone near the start
from Dublin to London.

Does this happen for every track? I saw sound stop after 34 seconds on
one track while the track progress bar was still increasing.

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

2021-11-07 Thread Paul Webster

I think it is due to a peculiarity of the time zone API call I am
making. I’ve dropped them a question to see if it is a fault in their
data (I suspect not) or in my interpretation of it (I suspect it is).

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty 4.6.2 LMS 8.2 - Streaming stops on Radio after about 10sec

2021-11-07 Thread michael.tanner


Hi all

My Spotty worked fine last used weeks ago. Now I have the issue I can
start streaming on Radio, but after about 10-15 sec playing stops. In
the client the time is still running. I use familiy account with Spotify
Client ID.

Any idea what could be the issue?

Thanks,

RTE - the programme info.

Unfortunately they give the start time as something like 
09:00
So I have to work out what that means in the timezone of the
broadcaster.
I thought I had it working well but knew that there might be an issue
when the clocks changed (in the broadcaster's country) ... and I forgot
to double-check when I came back from my short break that covered the
time going back ... so I released 0.0.12 using the beta code without
verifying.

Dear Erland,

Thank you. This is crystal clear. 

I am actually on LMS 8.1 and your plugins are still working fine.
Anyway, I truly understand your position and I have already made some
effort to get rid of Multi Library and Custom Browse plugins, however
IMHO Custom Skip and SQL Playlist have very useful features that have
not yet fully replaced in DPL V3. I will do my best to encourage and
support afriend to evolve DPL V3 for the benefit of the community.

All my best.
Marco
