[SlimDevices: Plugins] In praise of Group Players plugin
I've been in the Squeezebox/LMS ecosystem for more than 15 years, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that this system has been integral to my life for much of that time. It is practically the ONLY way I listen to music at home. I've always liked having music synchronized throughout the house but HATED the Synchronize function, as it always seemed to find a way to work in the least intuitive and helpful way for me. So I rarely used it, and I'd just have different things playing in different parts of the house, which worked, if not optimally. I became aware of the Group Players plugin not long ago, and gave it a try. In a similar way to how my first Squeezebox fundamentally changed the way I listen to music, Group Players has fundamentally changed how I, my house, and my music interact. This plugin went from unknown to vital in less than a week.

By amazing coincidence, that error above is from 1-13_Last_Kiss.m4a.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Group Players: Songs stop prematurely with an error
I understand what you are saying, and your example is helpful. I think perhaps I have been misunderstanding the nature of this particular encoding error. I had understood it to be an error in encoding some audio at an arbitrary and random timecode. What I now speculate may be happening is that the error is at a fixed place near the end of the file, perhaps in some kind of footer. Otherwise, I would expect some variability in when the file stops playing, and it is very consistent. I haven't been able to find adequate documentation of the ALAC format yet to see how a file is structured, so I haven't really validated this idea. Some more information: ffmpeg gives this error when transcoding one of the example files to aac: [alac @ 0x55794a5e1c40] invalid samples per frame: 0/s speed=79.3x Error while decoding stream #0:0: Invalid data found when processing input Of note, I can transcode the original source flac with ffmpeg with no issues, so the error seems to have been introduced when I used XLD to transcode from FLAC to ALAC. What's **really** interesting is that I can use ffmpeg to transcode the original source FLAC and the XLD-transcoded (with error) ALAC both to aac, and end up with *identical* files, despite the error thrown by ffmpeg when transcoding the ALAC file. That is to say, an md5 hash of each outputted file is identical. Both play to the very last note outside of LMS, and I haven't yet tried them within LMS. This suggests to me that the payload of the misencoded file is intact and that the error is in a container structure. benh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6732 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114439 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

If I have 10 seconds of output buffer at any given time, then I always have between 0 and 10 seconds of decoded ready to play audio in that buffer. It fluctuates, because buffer. I imagine that the buffer can fill much faster than it can drain, because decoding can happen faster than real time, and because buffer. - When I start playing a file, that buffer fills, bits are streaming, and eventually audio comes out my speakers. - When the decoder encounters a fatal error, the buffer stops being replenished and drains, and music stops coming out of my speakers about 10 seconds later. - If that fatal error is at, say, 30 seconds into the file, I'd expect audio to be interrupted at about the 30 second mark. - If that fatal error is at, say, the last 10 seconds of the file, I'd expect audio to be interrupted at about the last 10 seconds mark. That is because I should hear the audio that precedes the fatal error, and nothing after that point. I don't understand how a fatal error at the :30 mark of a 2:00 song would result in 1:50 of the song playing, rather than :30 of the song playing. Put another way, if I were having errors with these files at various time markers, I'd immediately suspect the files. And indeed, I did until I started seeing that they were all stopping 10 seconds before the actual end of the song. And if the files exhibited the problem in all playback circumstances, I'd definitely suspect the files. But I know I can fully play these files back in iTunes and when sent to a singular player. The consistency of when the error occurs (10 seconds before the end of variable length songs) is notable, as is the fact that when playing these files to a singular player, I hear the full song to completion. And given that these are files from different sources and encoded at different times with different software...it's a lot of coincidence. I'm not trying to say that the files are NOT incorrectly encoded. Rather that I don't understand why incorrect encoding results in these files playing to completion in one circumstance, and not in another. I'd expect that if the file can be successfully decoded to completion in one circumstance, it should be able to be successfully decoded to completion in another circumstance. I do think I'll run them all through ffmpeg and see what I can glean from that. Thanks again for all of your help with this weird situation. benh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6732 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114439 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I'm also not sure there's not a bug in the Group Player and Synchronization code. I just went to play some stuff, and found my Bedroom player synched with "Upstairs" which is a Group Player consisting of Bedroom and Library.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Group Players: Songs stop prematurely with an error
I really appreciate your efforts to figure this out. I'm completely willing to believe that a single file is incorrectly encoded. I am less certain that random files are incorrectly encoded, and that they are all incorrectly encoded such that the problem occurs at the exact same point in their variable duration: 10 seconds before the end. I do hear audio through the end of the time of the file, and that audio sounds consistent with the rest of the track, but I take your point that it just may seem ok. I'm also not quite sure that faad is implicated, as I haven't been able to capture faad running during the playback of one of these tracks. I'm more than willing to dig into the player config if you can help me understand where to look. benh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6732 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114439 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Group Players: Songs stop prematurely with an error
OK. I set the plugin.groups logging to debug, deleted that group player, and created a new one, appending a 2 to the name. The file played (yay!), but stopped 10 seconds before the end. So now this group acts like the others. I literally created the original group as part of my testing, so I can say with certainty that it was never manually synchronized to anything else.

OK, here's that log. This worked, in that the song played through to completion. I don't seem to have a convert.conf or custom-convert.conf anywhere in the normally-accessible portion of my Docker setup, so I'll have to export it from the Docker image. Be a bit for that. +---+ |Filename: Smokey.log.txt.gz| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=34337| +---+ benh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6732 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114439 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I haven't checked every single individual player, but I can reliably report that it does not happen when playing to either of two PiCorePlayers both running Squeezelite v1.9.9-1372-pCP, nor to an SB3 running 137, nor an SB Radio running 8.0.1-r16844.

I use iTunes to manage my library, so all of my lossless music is ALAC. And indeed, I have a LOT of ALAC files that were transcoded from FLAC, so this isn't unusual, but thought I'd mention it. I also mean to convey that the problematic tracks are not all from the same album or artist or source, so there's no obvious commonality in that regard. I have an entire album where this last 10 seconds thing seems to be an issue with every track, and then I have a single track out of 27 on another album where the problem exhibits. benh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6732 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114439 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I'm not sure if the errors given indicate an actual problem or not. For the ALAC files, they are transcodes from flac, and are tracks in different albums by different artists from different sources. On one album, other tracks exhibit the same issue in a grouped player or set of synchronized players, but not to a singular player. On another, it's just the one track. When played in a singular player, problematic tracks do something strange, visually. In Material Skin while watching the progress bar, the track hits the 10 to 9 seconds left mark, the audio from the problem track continues to play, but the progress bar switches to the next track. It's as if the player is confused about what's happening. When played as a group, when the track hits the 10 to 9 seconds left mark, the audio skips to the next track at the same time the progress bar does. benh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6732 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114439 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Identify a single problem file and give full format/codec details as > LMS sees it (i.e. drill down on track and show webUI left hand pane) The players in this Group were all Squeezelite. Different DACs/HATs, but Squeezelite. I just created a Group that includes an SB3 and those 2 Squeezelite players, and the problem did not exhibit. An example problem file is 16/44.1, 722kbps VBR ALAC. Another is 16/44.1 877kbps ALAC. Another is 16/44.1 128k CBR M4A/AAC. If there are other files in the queue, the next song in the queue begins to play no problem, but the last 10 seconds of the problem track are truncated. As noted above, this seems to occur with synchronized players as well as grouped players, and the files play fine on a non-grouped/synced player. I may try to re-transcode a file from the source flac to alac again and see what happens. benh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6732 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114439 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

This also happens if I synchronize players the normal way, it turns out. So it's probably not a group players problem. benh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6732 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114439 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Group Players: Songs stop prematurely with an error
I have begun to have (or just noticed I have) a problem with Group Players. Some songs stop playing prematurely, seemingly exactly 10 seconds early, and display an error on the player screen: Problem: Can't open file for: And the following error is logged in LMS: [21-04-18 22:54:21.6627] Slim::Player::Squeezebox2::statHandler (149) Error: : Decoder does not support file format, code 0 I have confirmed that these files play normally using other music players, such as iTunes. I can play the SAME file on a single pCP rather than a group player, and it completes normally with no error logged. Files are ALAC or AAC, for the most part. The problem appears to remain persistent for a given file, in that I can re-add that song to my queue and the problem will recur while players are grouped. It's not every song, just some. I'm not sure when it began, but I have errors going back to 4/13. I'm running the Group Players plugin v0.14.3 I'm running the official Docker version: Logitech Media Server Version: 8.1.2 - 1618550311 @ Fri Apr 16 08:36:43 CEST 2021 Hostname: 2cc3948a001f Server IP Address: 192.168.10.40 Server HTTP Port Number: 9000 Operating system: Debian (Docker) - EN - utf8 Platform Architecture: x86_64-linux Perl Version: 5.24.1 - x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi Audio::Scan: 1.02 IO::Socket::SSL: 2.044 Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.58 (sqlite 3.22.0) Total Players Recognized: 6 benh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6732 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114439 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Your explanation makes perfect sense, thanks. It seems to me like iPeng is sometimes a control app, and sometimes (generally only if playback is in use) a music app. I wonder if there is a way to have iOS not treat it like a music app if playback isn't enabled? benh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6732 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
First, I've been a happy iPeng user for many years. It's a key part of my music ecosystem and I could not live without it. I use iPeng at home over Wifi to control my various LMS players. Generally, I do not play music from my phone via bluetooth at home. In the car, I DO use Bluetooth to play music to my car stereo, and my phone automatically connects to my car. However, much of the time, the music that comes up on the car stereo screen is my most recently iPeng-controlled LMS player's last played song. What's interesting is that it also *starts that player playing*, since I'm still connected to my home Wifi. So I get in my car and start it up, and music begins to play in the house as I drive away. I don't have playback enabled on iPeng, but it seems like iPeng is showing up as a music source in my car, and I wonder if/how I can change that behavior. benh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6732 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
