Strange that it doesn't occur on the SB3 just because I have the webgui open on my PC with the SB3 selected. I.e, if I have the webgui open on my PC and then go into the room with the SB3 and use its remote, everything is fine when I change stations. When I close the webgui, it's broken again. Anyway, the important thing is that you can recreate it! -------- Glenn2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109826 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBCiPlayer V1.6 (and higher) & BBCiPlayerExtra 2.0 (and higher) Support
Aha! I have a massive clue Note that the following is true whether using my RPi4 server or the Windows PC LMS I just set up to experiment on. If I have the webui open, the SB3 displays the information. The webui is causing it to be fetched and the SB3 then shows it. As soon as I close the webui, it's broken again when I select a new station. Normally the SB3 is the only thing connected. I navigate using its menus not via phone/tablet/PC etc, so there is no webui open for me. It used to work although I have not used it much recently so I can't say when it broke. If you have a boom I would expect the same behaviour (if it is the only thing connected at the time).

Thanks. Some answers: I have the latest Raspberry Pi OS (as Raspbian is now called). I only built the RPi4 a couple of months ago but I have updated everything today to be sure. I have the latest version of LMS v7.9.4 and I have uninstalled and reinstalled iPlayer v1.6.9 again today.

I mainly use it for 4/5/6/London. No difference if selecting from favourites or playing from the app menu. Re waiting for 30 seconds - doesn't matter how long you wait, the info doesn't come up unless you press right then left to go in and out of the options. This also fixes it if you do it instantly upon playing the station. The delay in settings was 15s but it was no different with 0s or 30s, so I put it back to 15s. Ignore my comment about jerky scrolling - iPlayer has always done this anyway on the VFD screens. By jerky I just mean several pixels at a time rather than smooth like when playing non-iPlayer stations or library music. I confused matters by mentioning it in this context, it's not relevant. (There are no network issues anyway. Rpi4 is plugged into the router at 1Gbps. SB3 is wireless but in the same room with line of sight and 89% strength on webui.) I've been trying to get it working for a few days so it's also not about being unlucky and trying when the programmes are changing. I have just installed the latest 7.9.4 on my Windows PC as an experiment. Fresh install, all I did was install the repo and then the iPlayer app, change the two settings to show on air text and bottom line. Went in to the Radio menu on the SB3, selected live stations. exactly the same problem. No difference whatsoever. So my RPi4 installation is innocent.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBCiPlayer V1.6 (and higher) & BBCiPlayerExtra 2.0 (and higher) Support
I have an issue using an SB3. If I play a station I do not currently get programme info on the screen, only the station name scrolling jerkily across the screen endlessly. If press the right button to go into the options and then left to back out again it magically appears. So I have to fiddle with the controls to get the programme name to appear. Server is a Raspberry Pi 4 with Raspbian. Everything up to date. Uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin did not help. The settings look correct.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Radio Paradise Lossless Streaming (Plugin v2)
I can't use the interactive stream anymore either. It was nice to be able to skip a song that I didn't like, but now it just stops and starts every couple of seconds. The regular stream is OK thankfully. I -was- using the final 7.9.1 version but recently updated my plugins for the first time in ages. Then I put 7.9.2 on to see if that helped but it didn't. I'm using an O2 Joggler with squeezeplayOS from the Joggler forum. Is there something else I need to upgrade? Python or something?

Brilliant - works perfectly!
e.g.,
BBC Radio 2
OJ BORG: PARKLIFE BY BLUR
Note: small typo where you joined the strings ("," instead of ".") in
case anybody else tries this, corrected version below:
Code:
$parts = {
'line' => [
$client->streamingSong->track->title,
$self->song->pluginData->{'track'}. ": ". $self->text,
$self->song->pluginData->{'rp_description'},
],

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBCiPlayer V1.5.2 beta test
The delay stuff was all at defaults, the only settings I ever changed were the two toggles for the programme data. I don't think the song info missing problem was down to my installation because remember I had two in parallel, one on Win7 machine and one on Joggler. Both LMS 7.9.1 final and iplayer 1.5.3. Both sorted themselves out so it must have been either me going mad or there was a problem at the other end. They fixed themselves without me doing anything anyway. Regarding the missing menu entries on iPlayer on the Joggler (only), I completely removed everything including the stuff LMS leaves behind when you uninstall it (prefs etc). Then I reinstalled exactly the same versions and the menu items are there now. Then I reapplied my fix to BBCOnAir.pm to get the programme names on my SB3 display (instead of just a scrolling date). So all is working good now. For the record, and because you asked, the Joggler is running SqueezeplayOS 3.0.3 which is based on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (Trusty) with kernel 3.18 Cheers Glenn2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106409 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBCiPlayer V1.5.2 beta test
For some reason I am now getting the same as Ronnie. With station icon always displayed I am now getting song titles where I wasn't before in web ui and Squeezeplay. This wasn't working yesterday! And I'm talking about both Joggler and Win7 LMS installations, so maybe there was something up at the other end? Or maybe I'm just going mad. I still don't get the extra menu items (recent tracks etc.) on the Joggler LMS and this was a complete reflash of the Joggler SqueezeplayOS the other day, straight to 7.9.1 and I haven't played around with any menus or done anything like that. It doesn't really matter, it's just odd. If I removed LMS and then reinstalled it, would anything be cached? Is there a procedure to completely remove all trace of it before re-installation?

All I'm saying is when I pick a station that is just playing a pop/rock song like Radio 1/2/6, my SB3 says "Song by Artist" and the information is not on the web browser interface of LMS. It will have a long description of the details of the show etc, but never "Song by Artist". ---- Glenn2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106409 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I never see song info in the web browser (using DASH). I see plenty of stuff, but never "Song by Artist", even though that is what's scrolling across the screen on my Squeezebox Classic when playing Radio 1/2/6. You get lots of detailed info about the programme, just not that.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBCiPlayer V1.5.2 beta test
The only reason I tried the HLS streams was in case the metadata was more useful (on a player with a VFD). Anyway, I cracked it. I changed a line in BBCOnAir.pm. $self->text is where it stores a specific string for showing on VFD displays. I concatenated the title and info strings with ': ' between. before: $self->text($info); after: $self->text($title . ': ' . $info); Radio 4 now says: Today In Parliament: 06/06/2018 instead of: 06/06/2018 Radio 1 now says Huw Stephens: The Ultracheese by The Arctic Monkeys instead of: The Ultracheese by The Arctic Monkeys So in effect, because of what the BBC uses in each field, on the music stations I now get "Host: Song by Artist" and on news/chat stations I get "Title: Date". ---- Glenn2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106409 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBCiPlayer V1.5.2 beta test
I have the 'Show OnAir text' enabled. Hopefully I managed to attach a picture of the browser interface for the programme (I've no idea if that worked yet), but all I see on the player is 06/06/2018 scrolling repeatedly across the SB3 screen. That's all I ever get on BBC Radio 4 or BBC London which are the two stations I listen to the most. I see now from trying Radio 1/2/3/6 that it does indeed work for those, so I guess it won't matter to anybody else. Just unfortunate that those two stations put useless info out as that part of the metadata! Oh well.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBCiPlayer V1.5.2 beta test
Hi, I have the latest version of the plugin, running on LMS7.9.1 on Joggler/SqueezeplayOS 3.0.3. I use a Squeezebox Classic for listening. I have everything set to DASH and it all works beautifully at 320k, so first of all a big thanks. There is an option to choose to see programme data, and where it appears, bottom or top line, but most of the time it is not very useful data that you see. For example, for Radio 4 programmes you just get a scrolling date rather than the full programme name (which includes the date). The full programme names are there as I can see them in the web interface or on Squeezeplay on the joggler itself. I think it would be great for SB2/SB3 users to choose what line of the metadata is scrolled as well as which line to see it on the player, or perhaps show it all sequentially, or maybe I can even tweak the code myself (tell me which PM if it's an easy tweak). I'm happy to dig into that...
