You were right, it was something about the network connection. I had
allocated an IP for the Raspberry Pi in my router. I removed it and
tried setting it with DHCP but allowing the router to pick the IP -
still the same problem. Then allocated a different IP and tried again -
lo and behold, back to normal. 

Networking seems to be a lottery sometimes!

[SlimDevices: Plugins] piCorePlayer repositories not available

2022-11-26 Thread TheLastMan


I have "internet access" but the internet does not seem to be
accessible. See below
39246
I have also lost myapps in LMS. Removed LMS to reinstall it but now LMS
repository is not accessible either.  Nothing has changed in my network.
Rebooting does not make any difference. Any suggestions?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)

2020-05-04 Thread TheLastMan


Hi, I am running LMS on an ARMv5 NAS (Synology DS214) which works fine
in all other respects.
However, I have tried several times to install Chromecast Bridge with
the same error each time.
I install the plugin, restart LMS and go to settings.
An error is shown "Configuration file missing".  Pressing Generate does
not make any difference, and neither does it make any difference whether
the plugin is running or not.

Do you have a clue what the problem is?

I have two Chromecast Audio devices which work fine when selected and
used from the family's mobile devices.

Thanks for any help.

A pity this. I always used to browse the schedules for something to
listen to.  Now I have to do that on the phone app and then go to BPA's
iPlayer Extra app to find the programme to play there.  Let's just hope
that continues working!

I remember last time we nearly lost the BBC iPlayer plugin we all
commented vociferously on a BBC tech blog and we made the powers that be
aware of the situation.  I will dig around and see if I can find that

Re family account, in the Spotty settings you can add as many accounts
as you want - you just add the user name and password for each one. 
When you open up Spotty it will show a list of the libraries, one for
each account.  Just choose the one you want.

I currently have the Synology LMS Beta installed.  If I run this package
will it:
1.  Update my existing installation and keep all the settings?
2.  Over-write my existing installation erasing all the settings?
3.  Create a second instance of LMS on the NAS?

Many thanks.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] For the brave only: the Spotty Spotify implementation

2017-06-28 Thread TheLastMan

Don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia!

A "Compilation" album is a much broader term than the narrow definition
here. Compilation is a process, not a thing, it is the act of compiling.
The compilation of musical tracks is the act of gathering them together
in one recording.  The compilation of poems or short stories is the act
of gathering them together in one book.  

A "best of" is "compiled" from an artists previous recordings. "Various
artists" albums are also "compiled" from those artists' previous
recordings, either to fit a genre, mood or other theme.

I would define a compilation as an album "compiled" from tracks
previously released on other albums, or as singles, regardless of the
performer.

Cambridge English Dictionary:

"compile"
kmpl
verb
produce (a list or book) by assembling information collected from other

Not sure where. In the file type settings PCM is not given as a file
type, only a steam format.
There is a "Spotty" file format with the following options:
Flac - Spottymushf / flac (currently disabled)
MP3 - spottymushf / lame
PCM - spottymushf

I will try selecting Spottymushf / flac next to the flac stream format
and see what happens.

I must admit to being totally perplexed by this settings page.  I have
never managed to get to the bottom of what it all means or how changing
the settings changes the transcoding behavior of LMS.  I did not find
the wiki much help on the subject.

Probably old news... but managed to install Spotty on my Synology DS214
NAS yesterday and haven't managed to make it go wrong yet.

A seamless change, currently using it with the official app and all
working well.  I notice that the conversion is to PCM rather than FLAC. 
Despite that, the excess bandwidth needed to play on my old Duet kit has
not caused a problem yet.

Let us hope Spotify don't manage to deprecate or break this one as
well!

Many, many, thanks for all your hard work Mr Herger.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotify-connect-web

2017-05-16 Thread TheLastMan

Just found this thread - yet again Mr Herger to the rescue!

Currently have two Duet's streaming to amplifier/speaker setups in
kitchen and living room. I am using my Squeezeboxes for:
1. Library of FLAC files from my Synology NAS (where LMS is installed)
2. BBC iPlayer Radio and
3. Spotify.  

As a Spotify "family" member I have 5 users here all with a lot invested
in Spotify so I would be loathe to lose it completely when Libspotify
goes.

Everybody here is quite happy with the Michael's current implementation
of the "official" LMS Spotify app combined with the Spotify protocol
handler, so if librespot can replace the SPH bit seamlessly then I will
be very happy.  Not bothered about the Spotify Connect thing - and not
sure what it adds over the official LMS system.

My fall-back position when  Libspotify goes is to put a Chromecast Audio
dongle on a second input into each amplifier, just for Spotify, but that
would require physically switching inputs.  Neither amp has a remote so
that would be less than ideal and would require the use of a phone app.
This family still mainly use the two Controllers for initiating existing
playlists and saved albums and it is usually a touch quicker, strangely,
than finding the phone, swiping, entering a PIN code and initiating the
app.

Development of LMS ended yonks ago. Nobody is going to be adding this
kind of feature to it, or Squeezlite. 

Michael was simply pointing out that if you have two machines in your
network running LMS then you can select which Squeezelite connects to
which LMS. No software development required.

Spotify on MySqueezebox does not use the protocol handler so will only

I have tried this and can also confirm that the program images are back
to iPlayer Extra and DASH is working fine.  Listening to "Guy Garvey's
finest hour" from 29th January on Radio 6 as I write, in gorgeous
320kbps CBR aac, sounds fabulous.

Still sticking with SqueezeBox and would probably have gone SON*S long
ago if it weren't for yourself, Michael Herger and the other fixers on
this forum!

Thanks for all your hard work on our behalf and continuing devotion to
(still) the best music streaming system available. I have had my two
Duets 9 years now - amazing longevity for consumer electronics.

There is no "Linux system" to manage! You write an image to an SD card,
plug it into the rpi, plug the drive with your music on it into the rpi
USB port,  turn it on, wait a couple of minutes, open a web browser and
the max2play configuration screen, tick a few boxes to download and
install LMS and that's it! The rest is done using the LMS configuration
/ setup page. If you can manage the settings pages of LMS you will have
no problem with Max2play.  The whole point of the package is to screen
you from any Linux nonsense. It is  preconfigured with all the software
you need to run LMS. 

It took me about 15 minutes to assemble the rpi (I am a bit fat
fingured),  20 minutes or so to download and write the image to the SD
card. Once the rpi was powered up and I was in the M2P browser I ticked
a couple of boxes to download LMS and set it running. To be honest most
of the time was spent waiting for stuff to download. The whole process
took less than an hour. 

There are more options if you want to use the rpi as a player but for
server only duties it couldn't be simpler.

A Raspberry Pi, basic case, SD card and PSU costs about £55 here. Unless
you have terabytes of high-res music a high capacity USB memory stick or
portable hard drive will suffice as storage which will give you a very
efficient server more than capable of running LMS for around £100. 
Install Max 2 play pre-packaged LMS server and wire it to your router to
avoid WiFi problems. Hopefully BPA can get his life back and do
something more fun - like listening to some music!

*Nobody* has a right to "complain" to you bpa, you work tirelessly for
nothing helping to keep this system running and saving people a ton of
money buying replacement equipment.  We BBC fans are eternally grateful.
I might beg, grovel and implore, but I promise not to complain ;)

Your post above has made me think about an occasional problem that may
give you another clue.  When using DASH sometimes, rather than
re-buffer, the stream will simply stop, as if the stop button had been
pressed on the controller.  Press start on the Controller and the stream
will restart.  This is a random occurance and less common than the
re-buffering.

The plugin works fine for me at the moment with HLS set as the first
file type, but I am happy to switch over to DASH at any point if you
want anything tested.  Thanks for all your endeavours, we all owe you a
lot.

Update 2
Problem seems to be solely with Dash now. HLS working flawlessly with
both live and play-it-again content. Dash rebuffering randomly (every
5-15 minutes or so) but no longer constantly. 

Not sure what fixed things. I made no changes so I suspect the problems
were mainly BBC,  exacerbated by a slightly flakey network at my end.
Hope I haven't made a mistake moving to Plus net.

UPDATE:
After constant buffering issues I have given up trying to use the plugin
for live BBC broadcasts and reverted to the Tunein MP3 streams, which
have not buffered at all yet.  My live listening tends only to be speech
stations or background music, so sound quality is not critical, and I
have not come up against any "copyright" issues yet.

"Play it again" content, which is my main use of the plugin, is very
inconsistent. For testing I eliminated any WiFi problems by plugging a
player straight into the modem / router setup with CAT5 cable. 
Sometimes it worked without buffering for whole programs (30-60 mins),
other times it will re-buffer about every 30 seconds.  I can only assume
it is a BBC issue, or my NAS. I have a spare Raspberry Pi and might try
running LMS on that and see if that helps. 

HLS suffers less than DASH, and I can stream over WiFi using HLS with
only a couple of rebuffers every 30 minutes or so.  Just to reiterate, I
have 30 mb/s fibre internet and this problem only affects the iPlayer
Radio plugin.  I have no problems with either Spotify (at 320 kb/s) or
other non-BBC radio stations via LMS and streaming video on other
devices (Sky NowTV films and BBC iPlayer TV) is also no problem.

As a result of all my investigations round this problem I am hoping to
have solved another issue. VPN connections would drop randomly two or
three times a day (my wife and I both work from home a lot), which we
did not have with our previous standard ADSL broadband (at 7 mb/s).
Looking at the logs in my router and NAS it became apparent that our
external IP address was changing at least two or three times a day - the
line is dropping and renegotiating regularly with a change in IP
address.  This would definitely be a cause of these VPN failures.  There
are no obvious phone line issues and EE cannot see any faults or noise
on the line and have no explanation for the line drops. I get the
maximum speeds I have contracted for and there is plenty of S/N
headroom, so I suspect an intermittent hardware or power supply fault
somewhere in the Openreach or EE equipment.

A fixed IP address might help here, but EE do not offer this to domestic
users.  I had a special low price offer from EE which has now come to an
end so I am migrating over to PlusNet who offer a fixed IP address for a
one-off £5 fee. This goes live on the 30th September so I will report
back if it helps with either my iPlayer or VPN problems.

Thanks for that.  The problem did only start with Fibre so that could be
the issue.  The modem is a separate box and the settings are only
visible if you disconnect it from the router and connect a cable to it
with a laptop. The router (rather than modem) holds the DNS server
settings, I will check that first.

I remember that correspondence in 2015, but could not pin down any
problems with DNS at the time.  I am with EE Fibre Broadband (BT
Openreach provided) and use their DNS server with Google's as a
fall-back.  Changing DNS servers on the router does not seem to make any
difference.  As I said, all other streaming works fine including Spotify
via LMS as well as all the other non-LMS things like video iPlayer
streaming and Sky NowTV film streaming and so on.  I will try iPlayer in
a browser with DASH when I get home and report back.

The log is showing lots of these sorts of errors:

LMS is running on a Synology DS214:

Operating system: Synology DiskStation (DSM Package Management) - EN -

Platform Architecture: unknown
Perl Version: 5.18.4 - armle-linux
Audio::Scan: 0.95
Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.34_01 (sqlite 3.7.7.1)

This is wired direct to my TPLink Broadband router and Draytek VDSL
modem. Players are two Duet Receivers (on WiFi connections) and a
Raspberry Pi (wired to router) running PiCorePlayer.
I listen most to DASH / HLS beta iPlayer Radio through the Receiver in
my kitchen, so notice the most problems there. Details are:

Player Model: Squeezebox Receiver
Player Type: receiver
Firmware: 77
Player IP Address: 192.168.1.xx
Player MAC Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Wireless Signal Strength: 89%

(my "xx" to replace real numbers)

One thing I have noticed, my external IP address seems to change at
least daily.  Before I went to fibre it barely ever changed.

Am at work at the moment but will look into this more when I get home.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBCiPlayer with DASH support - test version

2016-09-15 Thread TheLastMan

Regardless of the length of buffer and timeout I have set, iPlayer is
buffering every 5 seconds to the extent it is unusable.
I have had a much milder form of this problem for a few months now. 
Most programs would not play all the way through without buffering to
some extent and often would stop altogether with a "cannot find..." type
error message on the Controller. If that happened I had to leave it for
a minute or two and then restart the program which would commence from
the beginning.

I had assumed it was my network, however the iPlayer phone app would not
skip and all other streaming worked fine on a 30MBS fibre internet
connection.

This occurred worst with DASH but also with HLS.

Most owners of Squeezeboxes will have moved on by now, most to the likes
of Chromecast and simple Bluetooth streaming. Although we all know the
rewards for persistence with Squeezebox are great,  very few people are
that interested or have the patience.  Those that don't will have bought
something else yonks ago, those that do will already have found this
forum.

Sonos's days are numbered. We all have smartphones now and it is a
doddle to set up streaming of any content or app to a speaker or hi-fi
for relative pennies.

Synology currently have “beta" version of 7.9 available for one click
installation from their Package Centre. That is what I am using. Pinkdot
here provides occasional "nightly" updates which can be installed on top
of that as well.  Haven't felt the need myself as the Synology 7.9 beta
works fine.

Wow Michael, you have been working hard! The LMS app is now barely
distinguishable from the Android app. This has to be a good thing, and a
much needed shot in the arm for the Squeezebox system. [emoji2] 

My 14yo daughter used to play her music mainly through her iPhone. In
the last couple of days she has started to use the Squeezeboxen much
more now her chosen music and artists are fully reflected. When I showed
her the latest change this evening she even said it was "cool" [emoji41]

High praise indeed from her!

As I said above, I think it is simpler than that. In the Spotify
Windows, Android or iOS apps (not LMS), if you "save" an album, the
artist on that album automatically appears in the list of artists, you
do not need to "follow" the artist - they appear automatically. In the
LMS app this is not the case, only those artists you have deliberately
chosen to "follow" appear in the artist list. I never "followed" 
artists, only saved their albums hence none of my artists appeared in
the LMS artist list.

On reflection I prefer the LMS way, now I know how it works. Less
clutter.

I just haven't worked out how to "follow" artists on Spotify yet, except
via your app. My daughter clearly does (we share an account) as it was
all her favourite bands in the 20 listed. 

This is all my stupidity and nothing to do with your LMS app!

In my case all appears to be working as you intended using 2 Receivers,
Ipeng, Squeeze Player (Android) and a Raspberry Pi.

I did initially have the iPeng not finding my LMS server problem.
Rebooting the phone sorted that one out.

I had a problem with this but found that it was down to Spotify having
two levels of artist status. Some are just in the list others are in the
list and also "followed".  Only the latter will show up in your artist
list in the LMS app. If I add an artist to LMS it appears on both. Not
yet worked out how to "follow" on Spotify on my phone though!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBCiPlayer plugin - a guick fix guide

2016-02-15 Thread TheLastMan

Weird situation here.  Had to reinstall LMS and BBC iPlayer.  Using the
new alpha version with updated BBCXMLParser file for listen again. Did
not get the file permissions right to begin with, and tested using R4
FM.  Corrected file permissions and tested R4 FM listen again and still
not working.  However, all other BBC stations are working fine on listen
again except for BBC R4 FM.  R4 LW is working so no biggie, but just a
bit odd. Could there be some file stuck in the cache from the when I
tried to make it work without the right file permissions? If so, which
cache file should I delete?

I have tried simply restarting LMS but that does not work.

Thanks for any help.

It is there, under third party plugins. The protocol handler is a Triode
/ Herger joint production so not an official Logitech plugin, unlike the
official Spotify app which probably had the Logitech seal of approval.

I am getting exactly the same problem - using the iPlayer plugin.  I
play an iPlayer "live" or "play it again" stream for a few minutes fine
and then it suddenly stops.  I press play again and it says it can't
fine the stream.  Repeating this immediately makes no difference.  After
a couple of minutes the problem rectifies itself and I can carry on
streaming.  How frequently it happens varies.  Sometimes it will stream
for 30 - 40 minutes without a problem and other times it will happen
every 5 minutes. 

I have no problems using the Tunein radio streams or streaming music
files from my server. 

I did notice once that the indicator light on the front of the Reciever
flashed blue for a second when it cut out.  Normally that would indicate
disconnection from the LMS server, but presumably that could also
indicate disconnection from the BBC server?

Will you keep the current one on the Synology packages system for a
while? The current one works fine with my DS214. If I need to reinstall
at some point I would prefer to use something I know works, if possible.

Sorry but this spelling mistake is driving me nuts at the moment, it is

What you meant to write was hear them *lose* the next one.

Loose means not tight or in control, like loose shoelaces or a loose

 Andrew Scott's blog comment (we have never published those (RTMP)

 shouldn't have them in the first place - probably because the BBC has a
 license for RTMP that specifies its use for iPlayer but not syndication.
 For anyone that's not a party to such license terms, there's nothing to
 stop them from hot-tapping into the streams, but they can't look to the
 BBC for support. I'm just speculating, but it would explain why RTMP is
 a topic the BBC won't discuss.I think you are spot on. Part of the BBC's 
 unwillingness to communicate
is that they know in the real world people are busy getting round all
their restrictions and there is little they can do about it. They don't
want to be forced by third parties to change things yet again.  They are
probably under an obligation to use reasonable endeavours to prevent
use of the streams, and provided they have done that, it is not their
problem if others are trying unreasonably hard to get round their
blocking tactics.

If Squeezeboxers want to have a continuing LA service, they should
probably keep their heads down on the BBC forums.  Stirring things up
may force the BBC to change tack again.  Thanks to BPA et al I now have
Listen Again providing 320 kbps AAC HLS via RTMP using the original
hacks.  I even have BPA's Extras plugin working again.  That is a lot
better than I had before this crisis and want it to stay that way!

Long term the only options for getting LA on your hi-fi are likely to
be:
- iPlayer on your PC and hard wire audio cable from sound card to hi-fi
- Bluetooth streaming from PC / phone / tablet (yuck!)
- Some sort of Wi-fi streaming from a PC (Chromecast, DLNA?)
- LMS and a player of some sort

LMS obviously wins hands down on all fronts, not least the ability to
sync players.  It just needs a continuing group of community minded and
experienced developers such as your good self.  Sounds like you and/or
Triode need to train up an apprentice!  Any volunteers?  At the thick

However if Windows browsers continue to shun HLS then, from what you are

Can you envisage there ever being a single system that would work on

Thanks for all the explanation and the history lesson bpa, very useful

So it looks like we may end up with two on demand protocols, HLS and
DASH, the former for Apple and the latter for everything else. 
Hopefully the LMS community will continue to support us getting one or

Let us hope that after the change to DASH things will settle down for a

 i have a synology NAS  running DSM DSM 5.1-5022 Update 3

 with BBC iplayer v1.2.14
 but when i try and listen to live streams i get this shoutcast stream
 is no longer available
 i have tried reading through this thread but the bits i do understand
 are superseded several posts later.
 thank you.
I am afraid there is no easy fix at the moment. There is an alpha of a
new plugin available, but it is very early stages. You will have to wait
for a fuller version, but one will probably be available eventually,
depending on how much time Triode has to spend on it.

You can hack some Linux files to get the streams back, but I am afraid
the hacked files don't work on the latest Synology NAS models (any with
an Arm7 chip).  I have a DS214 and gave up trying.  I now have LMS
running on a Raspberry Pi instead and the plugin hacks work fine on
that.  I now have it back to what it was before, in fact rather better.

Do you have a fixed PC of some sort?  If you don't want to go down the
new server route and would prefer to wait for a while to see if a fuller
version of an amended plugin appears, it might be best to install LMS on
a PC and do the hacks on that.

Castalla has very helpfully prepared a summary of what you have to do on
a new thread here:

 If it actually resembled a raspberry pie, I might get away with it but I
 can't smuggle in another device that needs plugging in after getting the
 Synology just a few months back. This might lead to demands for the
 sacrifice of a secondary (or tertiary) amp, power amp, tuner, cassette
 deck etc if you get my drift (looking at the gear on your signature, you
 probably do).
 
 It's very irritating that the Nas is the problem as running LMS on it to
 have access to BBC LA programmes was what swung it for me. However, next
 week, I have an Intel Nuc arriving as a replacement for my desktop and
 if it's as quiet and cool-running as they promise I suppose I could run
 LMS on that 24/7. Would it be easier to tweak and get access to listen
 again on LMS I wonder? 
 
 Thanks for your reply.
Good grief, ditch the cassette deck!  The RPi would be much more useful.
Have you any idea how small and inconspicuous the RPi is? Mine just
sits in a small black case in the tangle of wires hidden behind my PC
looking like just another wall wart.

If you are getting a NUC anyway and are prepared to run it 24/7 then
that would be your most straightforward solution. I have a backup
version of LMS on my PC for the odd occasion when the NAS was down.  It
ran as a service with an icon that sits in the notification area and was
quick and reliable. My PC is a large Intel i5 monster with three 2TB
hard drives and a hot graphics card - so consumes about 7 times the
power of the NAS. Not something I would want to leave switched on 24/7!

Just for comparison, my PC is about 100 watts, a NUC is about 28 watts,
my Synology is about 15 watts and the Raspberry Pi is 2 watts.  So
although the NUC would use less electricity than one incandescent light
bulb, you could run 15 Raspberry Pi with the same power!

 Thanks for your help. It was indeed the shell setting that was wrong.
 However, the process didn't  work anyway. It looks like TheLastMan was

 Besides, I really don't need to plug yet another device in.
 
 Looks like I'll just have to wait for the dust to settle and buy
 whatever device eventually works. Very upset to lose the Squeezebox

 probably go down the Roberts/Sangean route if that looks like a goer.
 But I'll keep checking in here on the off chance. Thanks to all of those
 dedicating hours trying to fix this.
Synology is the problem, not Arm7.  I was of the same mind as you
regarding yet another device, that was one of the attractions of the NAS
as it could do it all.  But there is no sign of Synology fixing it, so
the cheapest and quickest option was to try the Raspberry Pi if I wanted
to alleviate my BBC withdrawal symptoms!

If you follow the instructions and use Squeezeplug / Max2play it is the
work of about 30 minutes to put the Pi in a case, connect it up and
install the software.  If you are clever you can even copy over all your
settings and plugins from your Synology installation (the locations of
the files are on the last tab of the LMS settings browser page).  You
can use WinSCP for that.

The Max2play bit is a web based user interface for Squeezeplug and is
very simple, so if you can manage LMS and the Synology configuration
pages you can easily manage Squeezeplug with Max2play.

Yes it is just the Arm7 Synology NAS products that have some kind of

 A Pi works brilliantly - a lot cheaper than whatever Roberts/Sangean

Squeezeplug / Max2play is a Debian distro and works well with Arm7 in

 Hi, could somebody kindly point me to a fix on this thread or elsewhere

 Or put me out of my misery if it's not possible.
I think you will struggle. ffmpeg is a big problem on Arm7 based
Synology Diskstations (such as the DS214 that I own) and most DS1xx,
DS2xx and DS4xx models from the last couple of years.  It should work on
an Atom based Synology though.

After some hacking I gave up and am now running LMS on a Raspberry Pi. 
Pretty easy to set up using the Squeezeplug / Max2play Linux distro. 
There is a thread here that covers it.

I still have all my music on the NAS though with both connected by cable
through my Router.

I am using the old version 1 B variant, but the latest version 2 of
the Raspberry Pi has a more powerful processor than the DS214 and just
as much memory - so performance will probably be better anyway. You can
also install LMS 7.8 and 7.9 beta which are not available for the
Synology DS line.

What is it with these guys, don't they want us to listen to their

The BBC, great radio, great performers, producers and presenters, ruined
by crap, lazy, over-paid, uncommercial administrators (I hesitate to
call them managers).  I live in south-west London and know three BBC
produers, now ex-producers, and they despair.  All three were in TV and
left the BBC for the growing independent sector rather than move to
Salford.  That move was a typical BBC administrative cock-up. 
Politically motivated and singularly failing to understand that the
media is first and foremost a *people* business.  People with husbands,
wives, children in schools, extended family ties and settled lives do
not want to up-sticks from where they live just because some BBC bigwig
decides the North is cheaper.  And the BBC was too stupid to realise
that hard to find and clever production staff and performers are in
demand elsewhere and have a choice. 

I have nothing against Salford, a great set of studios in an attractive
dockside setting, but TV production is smore than new studios at a low
cost.

Ship and h'apenth of tar spring to mind.

Brilliant!  Thanks mate, you've made my day.  As an addict of R4, R4E,
R3, R5L and R6M the Squeezebox BBC iPlayer plugin Listen Again streams
changed my life.  I was beginning to worry that it was all over. 
Hopefully one day somebody will make a version of the plugin that does
not need to be hacked.  Not interested in going the HLS route just yet
as the RTMP streams work fine.

A bit of extra info for those running LMS on a Raspberry Pi using
Max2play (Squeezeplug), but accessing from a Windows PC, have a look at
'WinSCP' (http://winscp.net/eng/index.php).  I did not know where LMS
and its plugins were saved on the Pi, but WinSCP has a simple search
function that scanned the entire Pi in seconds to find the file. It also
allowed me to edit it using a simple GUI text editor using cut and
paste.

The BBCXMLParser.pm file is located in this folder
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/BBCiPlayer
Make the edits, save the file and restart LMS.
Writing this post has taken me longer!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: PlayHLS Plugin - plugin to play Apple HLS m3u8 stream

2015-03-02 Thread TheLastMan

Raspberry Pi (version one, model B) with Max2play / squeezeplug (LMS
7.8) installed.  Connected by Cat5 to my ADSL router.  80GB of FLAC
music files held on a Synology NAS and read by Pi using NFS.
Squeezeplug came with ffmpeg and Lame preinstalled so all I needed to do
to connect to the new streams was install BPA's HLS plugin and the new
menu.opml file.

BBC iPlayer live streams started OK, but quickly developed symptoms of
5 seconds of sound followed by 10 seconds of buffering.  If I then
rebooted the Pi and started one radio stream it would stutter a bit to
begin with but then play with only the occasional glitch as long as I
wanted.  If I stopped it and started another stream it would get worse. 
After three or four changes of station the buffering would be about
every 5 - 10 seconds.

After a couple of abortive attempts to install the sigpipe.patch file
I eventually got it to work using Ralphy's instructions above.  Rebooted
the Pi and after that I could switch stations with no deterioration in
the buffering.  After some further experimentation I found that
increasing the radio station buffer to 30 seconds under the LMS settings
page (advanced  networking) removed all further stuttering and
buffering and it now plays fine.

Now waiting for the proverbial S to hit the F when the BBC get round to
screwing up the play-it-again section of iPlayer, which works very well
at the moment.

Thanks for that.

I started getting terrible buffering problems, stopping and starting
continually every few seconds so I ran the patch as described via SSH
using Putty.  How long is it supposed to take? Is there any way of
telling whether the patch has worked?

When I entered the command above patch -b sigpipe.batch the cursor
moved to the next line and sat there so I waited for the [directory]:
text to reappear for five minutes but it didn't.  I left it 10 minutes
to make a cup of coffee and when I came back nothing had changed.  So I
closed Putty and rebooted the server.

The problem was apparently fixed as the rebuffering problems largely
stopped.  However I have no idea whether the patch fixed the problem or
simply rebooting the server did the job.  I was still getting the odd
rebuffering problem at the start of a stream  which usually disappeared
after 30 seconds, so I upped the radio buffer to 15 seconds and have not
had a problem since.

I will report back if I start to get problems again.

Squeezeplug is based on debian, so standard debian commands should

I am surprised that PasTim is having this problem as I have recently
reinstalled both v7.50 and latterly the Max2Play versions (Max2Play is
just a web front end on v7.50) and each time both Lame and ffmpeg were
available by default. As it is designed to run LMS in has the full set
of codec software as standard and works on pretty well all file types
out of the box.  All I needed to do to get the HLS streams working was
install BPAs plugin and the new menu.opml file.

I have a Model B Raspberry Pi (not B+ or 2 B) and both versions of
Squeezeplug installed fine.

markiii wrote: 
 anyone else finding the HLS streams constantly rebuffering at the

Not constantly but occassionally.  I put this down to the fact that I am
now using a Raspberry Pi with Squeezeplug which is probably slightly
under-powered for transcoding.  I have noticed more lag between
selecting a station and the stream running compared to the old streams
through my Synology NAS.  What processor and memory do you have in your
DIY NAS?

However, I have a feeling the BBC may have under-resourced the bandwidth
needed to serve these high bit-rate streams on every station and you may
be suffering at the times when everybody is using them at once.

The Squeezeplug was actually a doddle to get playing the HLS streams. 
It has a pre-installed version of ffmpeg that worked.  All I needed to
do was install BPAs new plugin, drop the revised menu.opml into the
right folder and I was away.

I am thinking of upgrading to a new ARM7 based RPi 2 as with four cores
and double the memory it actually has similar horsepower to my NAS,
which is also ARM7 based.  With the new board it should handle the
transcoding better and would be quicker at serving up the browser
interface as well.  Another little project to look forward to!

Hi Richard, how do you apply this patch?

richardsk wrote: 
 I've been looking into why avconv/ffmpeg doesn't stop after playing the
 HLS stream, and have discovered that it's a problem with the servers'
 handling of SIGPIPE.
 The server sets the IGNORE flag on the pipe trap, and the POSIX spec
 requires the flag to be inherited by any child processes. This is what
 causes the problem with avconv  (some versions of)
 ffmpeg, as they never see the SIGPIPE when their output is closed.
 I've patched the trap code in /usr/share/perl5/Slim/bootstrap.pm (7.8.0
 build) to use a local function to ignore SIGPIPE and this does not
 effect any child processes.
 
 I've run this patch for a day or so, and it all works correctly for me
 using avconv as the converter. It needs more testing, but looks good so
 far.
 
 Here's the patch if anyone wants to give it a try. 
 Please let me know if you do, all feedback welcome ;)
 
 I'm running 7.8.0 on debian stable.

 If you do install other version of ffmpeg you MUST run restart LMS  and

 LMS has found the newly installed ffmpeg as opposed to the Synology

Thanks for that. I am happy to run the plugin using logging and debug
and send you the output.  Can you give me chapter and verse on how to
do that - or point me to a post on this or the other thread that gives
me instructions? I am a real Linux amateur but can use SSH and Vi to
move files around and edit configs as necessary. 

I only really listen live to BBC Radio 4, so that is not a major problem
as long I can access the MP3 stream - I have it on a favourite.  I am
most worried about the planned loss of the ability to play the past
schedule, particularly R3 and R6 - so await news of the BBC's intentions
for that part of their system.  

In the medium term I may abandon LMS on the Synology and revert to a
SqueezePlug server on a Raspberry Pi I have on Standby.  Hopefully
that will have enough processing horsepower to cope and should not have
the problems afflicting the Synology.

Thanks again.

Hi Michael.  I understand that your players do not support HLS natively,
but it should be possible to transcode the streams using a Server plugin
- in which case you need to get in touch with one of the two masters of
the art, Triode and BPA.  You could then forward them the URLs for the
new streams and they can build the appropriate plugin(s) if they feel so
inclined!

The problem with the Shoutcast streams is the BBC have turned off AAC
and left us only with the low bit rate 128kbps MP3 international
streams.  These are OK for low-fi devices but a sharp reduction in
quality compared to the AAC streams that went before, particularly the
320kbps Radio 3 stream.  Also, being international, the Radio 5 sports
channel cannot now play many live commentaries because of copyright
issues.

They have also stated that the Shoutcast streams will only be available
for 1 or 2 years at which point they will be shut off too.

As it stands your SqueezeBox players are practically the only ones with
the capability to be adapted (via LMS) to play the new HLS streams. 
Owners of Sonos, Reciva, Roberts and Cambridge Audio - among others -
cannot do this because they lack a server.

They seem to have cut off all routes for making suggestions or polite

communicate with the BBC these days, which is a real shame.  Triode and
BPA will be very protective of their contacts. They have asked about the

2014-08-03 Thread TheLastMan

Thanks. My system is two Duets and one Squeezelite (Raspberry Pi with
piCorePlayer). Server is a Synology NAS and I am trialling a Squeezeplug
on Raspberry Pi  server using the NAS to hold the music files. The BBC
iplayer plugin worked flawlessly  via the NAS server for over two years
on standard settings. About 2 months ago the service deteriorated with
missing programmes and artwork in the listings and around the same time
I started to get the rebuffering.  Nothing on the network had changed.
The artwork and missing progs improved after some work by Triode but the
rebuffering remained.  It is very intermittent. Sometimes it will be
fine for a couple of hours. At other times ot will rebuffer every minute
or so.

I suspect either BBC or ISP. The fact that I can stream Spotify without
issues to my Squeezeboxen,  or iPlayer video to PCs then I strongly
suspect the BBC have reduced the resources for this Radio service or
demand has risen beyond its current resources.

Thanks for the help. What puzzles me is why it worked so well for so
long and only recently developed problems. There was no change in the
system.  The two RPi devices post-date the problem. 

Will the no transcoding option remove server differences and so the
player ends up playing the highest form it can cope with natively?  In
my case that would be WMA for the Receivers and AAC for Squeezelite. I
could live with that if it stopped the rebuffering.  I would still have
the delayed listing issue with WMA would I not?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)

2014-08-03 Thread TheLastMan

Right BPA, have done some testing.  I am using the Squeezeplug as that
has a hardware FPU which is better for transcoding.  Although the
Synology lacked a hardware FPU it would still transcode to most formats
except MP3, although Ralphy found me a program that I could install
which even did that.

MAIN BBC IPLAYER APP
The delayed listing issue seems to affect BBC iPlayer whatever option I
choose for the transcoding - but you probably already knew that!
I find that the programs tend to go on the list in lumps, mid-morning,
mid afternoon and late evening.

With the allow transcoding option in the iPlayer settings not ticked
the Duets play in 96kbps WMA and the Squeezelite at 128kbps AAC.
With the option ticked both Duet and Squeezelite are playing 128kbps AAC
with the Duets converted to 705kbps FLAC

No rebuffering with either option yet.  The big test will be at peak
listening time in the early evening.

IPLAYER EXTAS APP
With transcoding ticked there is no change from the situation with the
main app, both playing 128kbps AAC with transcoding to FLAC for the
Duets.

With transcoding un-ticked the Squeeezlite player still plays 128kbps
but the Duet falls back to 96kbps WMA, as you would expect.

The surprising thing is that it works fine for every program on the list
that is available.  It seems that on the Extras national listing in the
UK there is no delay in getting the WMA stream, it is there at the same
time as the AAC one. I am able to play a program that was on air just an
hour ago whereas with the iPlayer listing I might have to wait half a
day.

So there does not seem to be any logical reason why the XML listing
couldn't be as up to date as the one the Extras plugin uses (AFAICT).

Anyway, thanks for the pointers BPA.  I will be using the iPlayer Extras
National stations listing from now on.  I will keep the transcoding
ticked for the time being to see if the rebuffering occurs, and if it
does I will disable it and see if it makes a difference.

I still strongly suspect that this is a BBC or ISP issue.  For a while
last week I was using just WMA to all three players with transcoding
unticked (almost accidentally, I was trying everything!) and was still
getting the rebuffering issue, albeit reduced in severity, so I really
don't think it is a server issue.  Perhaps it is Orange throttling media
streaming at peak times.  I would not put it past them!

 I feel if rebuffering is frequent and nearly predictable - then it on
 the user side. Something on the user server, player and/or network needs
 to be fixed.  My litmus test would be playing a live WMA stream
 through mysb.com on a player hardwired into the router which connects to
 ISP.
Regarding the server, I would agree if the rebuffering were -consistent-
as well as predictable, but it isn't.  Most of the time it works fine,
just at peak times that it has an issue. And occasionally at random
other times.  Maybe somebody else in the house is using the internet
that I am not aware of.  We have an au-pair who Skypes back to France
regularly which might have an effect.

I am on my own in the house at the moment.  Since my last message I have
been listening to the Radio 3 live 320kbps AAC stream on a Duet
transcoded using the RPi SqueezePlug without a hitch for over 30
minutes.  I really think we can discount the server side of this.  The
Synology has been happily transcoding and steaming this high bitrate
stream to my Receivers for over two years with nary a glitch until about
a month ago.  The SqueezePlug / RPi is also doing this fine without a
hitch -at the moment-.  Maybe if I were transcoding different streams to
different players simultaneously then I should consider a new server,
but that almost never happens at the moment.

I also doubt it is my WiFi.  Each Duet is served by a different AP and
the system will happily stream different FLAC files from my library to
each of my three players.

I am sure the problem has something to do with t'interweb somewhow. 
Either my 9 meg download speed is insufficient for the demands of two
adults, three teenagers and an au pair (quite possible) or my cheap and
nasty ISP is throttling at peak times (more likely), or the BBC is not
resourcing the iPlayer radio service properly (also possible).  

 When changing LMS server - personally I would look for a one with more
 one than more core and decent amount of memory.  Pi is too minimal for
 my liking - something like Wandboard dual would make a better LMS
 server.  Also I'd use Arch to avoid unnecessary processes/overheads.I agree 
 that a more powerful server would be nice.  I have LMS installed
on my Quad Core i7 Windows 7 machine with 16GB memory - the one I do all
my recording and ripping on - so if I want more power I can always
switch to that.  Perhaps I will try using it at peak times and see if I
still get the iPlayer rebuffering.  If I do I think we can discount
server issues!

Anyway thanks for all your help, I now have a much better clue about how
this brilliant plug-in works.  A giant leap for me, but one small step
for mankind ;)

Yes. The constraint is the processor in the computer you have installed

post the processor here and somebody will probably be able to tell you.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)

2014-08-03 Thread TheLastMan

Well, since my earlier postings I have had Triode's BBC iPlayer plug-in
running almost solidly through the SqueezePlug and Duet.  I have been
picking programs from Radios 3, 4 and 6 and interspersing with a few
FLAC files from my library.
I particularly concentrated on running iPlayer in the 5-9pm slot. 
Transcoding was enabled to stress the SqueezePlug as much as possible.

And you know what?  Not a single glitch, dropout or rebuffer the whole
day, as far as I could tell. Clearly, if there still is a problem, it is
very unlikely to lie with either my server(s) or my home network.

Perhaps everybody is away on holiday so not using their broadband?  I
found a web site that collected reported problems called downdetector
that reports when people get problems with web sites and apps.  iPlayer
Radio issues rise from about 4pm through to about midnight in a nice
bell shaped curve peaking between 7pm and 10pm.  Now there is nothing to
say this is caused by the BBC itself, these could all just be people
with poor broadband connections.  However, whatever the cause I am
clearly not alone.

Oh, and it was great to listen to Guy Garvey on Desert Island Discs. 
Elbow are my favourite band at the moment, and possibly of all time, and
I do try and listen to Guy Garvey's Finest Hour on 6 music when I can.

That man is a poet. Bones of You, Lippy Kids, Sad Captains and
New York Morning - just some of my faves. If you are wondering why I
am posting at 3am it is because I fell asleep in an armchair listening
to some Joni Mitchell and have just woken up and thought I would post
before I turn the PC off.

Frustrating stuff this internet malarky.  Perhaps I should go with Fibre
broadband?  It is available around here but hellishly expensive.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)

2014-08-02 Thread TheLastMan

Triode, I know you are a busy man - but would it be possible to have
another look at this app?

Not sure what is wrong, or if it is fixable, but the app now shows only
between a quarter to half of all the programs broadcast during a day and
then often not for several hours after the official iPlayer web site.

It is now 5pm and the Radio 4 listing ends at 11:30am and it does not
list the four major programs between 7:00 and 11:30 including Today and
Saturday Live.

Even after a day it frequently does not have the major news programs,
with the exception of PM, which is usually there.

This is a real shame, as it is the main use that my Squeezeboxes get.

Currently I have resorted to streaming the audio from iPlayer from a PC
using a Windows application called Jamcast - far from ideal.

Yes, I do use that where I can.  The problem is it is not in schedule
format, so first of all you need another way of finding the schedule (or
already know what you are looking for) and then you never know whether
the program listed is the current one or a previous edition.

For instance I wanted to listen to the Today Program at around 1pm
today, found it on iPlayer Extras listed under Saturday, and it was the
Saturday 26 July edition.

If I could stream from my mobile to the Squeezebox it would be better
than a PC, but I have tried several apps and none do that properly
either.

Brilliant! Sorry, I had completely missed the National Radio Schedule
menu item in the extras list.  Put it at the top for us bozos...

 
 Are you playing Flash AAC or WMA format ?  If you are using WMA format
 then there is a BBC wraparound issue that can happen if WMA version of
 program is not ready - the previous week's program in same time slot
 will be used as BBC re-uses WMA program ids on a weekly cycle.
I have been experimenting.  I was getting a lot of drop-outs and
rebuffering on the normal settings so have been trying WMA on and off on
speech radio as it seemed to be more consistent.  At the time of writing
it was on WMA only which probably explained the lack of program
material.

I will try using Extras - National Radio Schedule for the time being and
see if I get the same problem with buffering.  All other radio stations
and Spotify (Triode's app) work fine so it has definitely been a BBC
problem.

Thanks both for the prompt reply.

 Thanks guys. Actually, I am of course not overly concerned about the

 store gift card.
I have Orange Squeeze and the official Logitech app.  My advice?  The
Logitech interface is almost identical to the Duet Controller, so if you
are used to that then you should try out the Logitech app first before
forking out for Orange Squeeze.  If you are more used to Android Apps
generally you would probably prefer Orange Squeeze.

On my phone (Samsung S3 mini) the official Logitech app is actually the
fastest and more responsive of the two by some way. 

The more attractive interface is Orange Squeeze, and I like its
integration with SqueezePlayer.  It has a more flexible interface that
is laid out much more like other Android apps.

In practice I use the Logitech App when I need stuff quick and know
where it is, but if listening via the phone's headphone socket or when
browsing music in a more leisurely fashion I will use Orange Squeeze.  I
use the Controller more than both together as it is always standing next
to the player and does not keep turning itself off to save battery.

 Hi
 All BBC programs are missing since yesterday morning. The last program
 on most channels is around 5am but on Radio4 it is 3pm. They are all
 there on BBC iPlayer extras. Is this a change made the BBC that has
 caused this?
 Mal
This seems to be a change in how they upload details of programs. 
Previously they put up a list of all broadcast programs whether or not
they were actually available to stream. You only found out when you
clicked on the program and it either streamed or gave you an error
message.  It usually took between two and three hours for a program to
be available, but sometimes even longer than that.  So if, at 7pm you
tried to stream the 6pm news it would usually produce an error message. 
From my experience this is the same with the BBC iPlayer extras, and in
fact their own Radio iPlayer app.  On my Android phone it just says
coming soon rather than giving the error.

With the latest situation with Triode's plugin you now you only see the
available programs. So if you are looking at 7 or 8pm it is not unusual
only to see programs up to 3pm. It is also not unusual for the their to
be occasional days when nothing is available until the following day -
but they catch up eventually.

The whole system seems to be a bit ad hoc.  I wonder if it is
something they give to new staff to sort out, a bit like making the
coffee or doing the photocopying.  Maybe the poor graduate allocated the
job was off with a hangover, or on holiday and forgot to hand the job to
somebody else!

Easy to forget that the brains behind the internet are human!

 What software do you use to sync the folders on the NAS to the PC?
 
 I have been thinking about doing something like this?
I use ViceVersa Pro 2.5 from TGRMN.com.  At $60 it is not cheap, but
extremely powerful and configurable. It can detect file changes in real
time and copy them over and it can do scheduled syncs (which is how I
use it). When you overwrite or delete a file it can archive the old
version so you can go back to an earlier version when you screw up.  The
main advantage is bi-directional synch which means you can make changes
on either drive and it will synch the two. It can do all sorts of types
of backup too.

As well a synching various folders between PC and NAS I also use it for
synching my laptop between work network and home.

I would not bother with the reduced price version of the program as
there is plenty of other freeware out there that will do 90% of the
job.

Sorry I cannot make any more suggestions as I have not really used
anything else.
