Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AirPlay, Chromecast and UPnP bridges update
Guys, I feel I have to say this... Regardless of how pissed off you are... ALWAYS remember that all the current contributors/developers to the Squeeze ecosystem are doing this for free, with considerable effort and in their own time, if you're not happy with their work then develop your own solutions... or move to another system, the last thing we need is contributors/developers getting battered and feeling it's not worth the effort to continue supporting the community - we absolutely rely on them all. For those that have been vexed over the last few days - learn from it, if what you have works and is important to you then leave it be, turn off auto updates, don't try and run every latest version - consider your actual need for a newer version and plan carefully before making any changes, make sure you have a simple path back to what was working for you previously... but please don't vent on a developer who is trying to fix problems.

Yeah, disabling volume adjustment/replay gain on the Touch changes the stream details from 1411kbps CBR, Ogg Vorbis (Spotify) (Converted to PCM) to 320k VBR, Ogg Vorbis (Spotify) but the file types for either scenario remains: 37558 gorman wrote: > Why do you disable FLAC?

Further to my above post, initial test was done using SqueezePlay on my Mac. So tried the same album on my different players...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty and File Types
I've never touched any file type settings, so all settings should be at "default" LMS 8.3 Here's my Spotty file types: 37542 That intrigued me, very different from yours and had me wondering what stream I received from Spotify. So I browsed Spotify from LMS and selected a album to play... track shows as "320k VBR, Ogg Vorbis (Spotify)" in LMS and my Spotty files types are now: 37544 The other option from the drop down menu for FLAC is "spotty-hf/flac", I guess that would become enabled should a FLAC stream be received. Hope this helps (although it's not helped me :D ) Kev +---+ |Filename: 2.jpg| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=37544| +---+ KeBul's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116151 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Community Firmware for Squeezebox Radio/Touch/Controller and LMS 8
Hi Guys, Are the changes made for each community release documented and published anywhere, I've looked here https://github.com/ralph-irving/squeezeos/commit/ba2bffadb9f1c1b77eee1b1c08a7985eeb97e14e on github but can't see anything, although I have to confess to struggling with the whole github thing. I'm not particularly a fan of following the "bleeding edge" but decided to try the new community firmware, everything's been fine so far - great work guys, but when the recent notification for r16835 popped up, I wondered what the changes were and whether I really needed to update... and so far have been unable to find out.

Hmmm, not really sure on the use case for this, my expectation was providing a state indicator for pCP... powered on or powered off, so external equipment can be turned off and on automatically at the same time as pCP, and that seems to be what it is doing, I cannot find the document the link references. When I click on the gpio-poweroff button it asks if I want to reboot, click on yes and it saves the changes (even if no changes have been made) and reboots pCP, click on no and it saves the changes and warns you need to reboot at some time. This is on pCP V5 I've just reconfigured gpio-poweroff for GPIO2 and tested again, and that behaves the same as my GPIO17 test, I'm just using a multimeter to check for 3.3v on the various pins so real current draw, no doubt Greg is spot on with his advice re the gpio driving a switch rather than the fan itself.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Trying to use GPIO Switches on the Tweaks Page of PiCorePlayer ....................
Hi, Just tested this for you. I used GPIO 17 which is Pin #11 on the 40 way header 31581 31582 I set up pCP gpio-poweroff as follows: 31580 When pCP is up and running I have 3.3v on Pin #11 (GPIO17) When I shutdown pCP I have 0v on Pin #11 (GPIO17) Not sure if this is what you are after, but I hope it helps.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Trying to use GPIO Switches on the Tweaks Page of PiCorePlayer ....................
I've not played around with these at all but from a quick read up on RPi GPIO's I think Pin #1 is fixed 3.3v You need to use a configurable GPIO pin, try Pin #17, set as an output, set to high will give you 3.3v on that pin, set to low will give you 0v on that pin. Can't see how to set a pin as an output on pCP though - perhaps that's the default - I'm sure someone else will confirm.

OK, Thanks Pippin. Sounds likely that I met both of those criteria, certainly wasn't leaving iPeng open for long, just out of curiosity what data is it syncing? It's not a big issue, understand you've got plenty of other work to do, so chuck this one on the "to do" list.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
Hi, Had iPeng for years but tended to use the Logitech App for driving my players, so not an experienced iPeng user, upgraded my iPhone 5s to IOS 11.1 Apps updated as well so should be using the latest version of iPeng and swapped to using iPeng to control my players but noticed if I'm controlling a player (in this case a Boom) and close iPeng or lock the screen when I go back into iPeng the volume control slider dances around a bit and then always goes to a lower volume, this is followed by the phone volume popup briefly appearing (as if I've pressed the volume buttons - but I haven't). By repeatedly doing this the volume of the Boom is eventually turned right down. Anyone else seeing this? I've not had a chance to go back and troubleshoot/play around with any further but will have time in the next couple of days. Cheers Kev.
