Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Success: MusicIP and Spicefly Sugarcube running on Raspberry Pi

2018-03-29 Thread downtime

I think I know the answer to this, but want to check. I followed this
tutorial (thanks) and got everything set up and working. However, my
.mp3s were tagged using version 1.9b in Windows and it appears that the
Linux server (1.8) doesn't recognize the tags. It found all of the files
but reports that they all need to be verified.

I went back and tagged a few of them with 1.8 in Windows and the Linux
server then recognizes them as tagged.

I saw the warning not to edit the default.m3lib file with 1.9b because
it would alter the library. But is it also the case that the tags
between version 1.8 and 1.9b are different in a way the the older
version won't read the tags made with the newer one?

Thanks.

Hi all,

This is slightly off topic, but I am wondering if anyone has a
recipes.xml file with more than one recipe in it that they would be
willing to share. I've been searching for quite a while and been unable
to find one. I've found the general instructions from Spicefly
(http://www.spicefly.com/article.php?page=musicip-recipes), but think a
good example would be helpful.

Thanks.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Success: MusicIP and Spicefly Sugarcube running on Raspberry Pi

2017-06-29 Thread downtime

Hi Antoniop,

I'm a long-time Spicefly Sugarcube user. I switched to an ARM-based
server a few years ago and MusicIP didn't run on it, so I abandoned
Sugarcube for the SmartMix plugin although it didn't provide the mixes I
liked as much as Sugarcube. When Logitech discontinued that, I went back
to Sugarcube on an old laptop. Now that I can run MusicIP and Sugarcube
on an RP3, I feel like I have the best possible combination for the type
of listening I do.

Sugarcube has always had superior mixes and I recommend it highly.

Hi again,

Well, I disabled all of the plugins that I wasn't using and that seems
to have solved the problem. I should have disabled them one at a time so
that I could have figured out which was causing the conflict (or
whatever), but I didn't so I don't have that information.

Anyway, if anyone else has the issue of LMS not interacting properly
with MMM using a RP3 and the configuration described in this thread,
disabling unused plugins may help.

One other little clue:

I'm using SpiceFly's replacement interface for MMM and Test Mix Creation
works so I know MMM is working correctly. However, it takes a few
seconds before the mix is created. I haven't seen that delay on other
platforms. Maybe that is causing a timeout between LMS and MMM? I read
something about that in the original post in this thread.

Thanks for your help.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Success: MusicIP and Spicefly Sugarcube running on Raspberry Pi

Thanks again Antoniop,

I copied your script exactly (changing the path a little bit to fit my
setup), stopped LMS, and ran this session:

pi@max2play:~ $ /home/pi/MusicIP/MusicMagicMixer/mmserver start
Password: 
Running MusicMagicServer
pi@max2play:~ $ ERROR: ld.so: object

Starting server on port 10002

pi@max2play:~ $ sudo service logitechmediaserver start

Both MMM and LMS are running, but LMS still doesn't see MMM. All of the
tracks chosen are random. Both servers point to the same path where the
music tracks are /media/pi/SmallTunes. It's confusing because I have
been running these two severs on other platforms - Windows, Linux, Mac -
for several years with happy results. I got a RP3 so I wouldn't have to
keep a laptop running all of the time, but I'm not having much luck so
far.

Any other suggestions you have are greatly appreciated.

I had set up a folder with symlinks for LMS to point to. However, when I
did the MusicIP scan, I pointed it directly to the music files. That was
causing LMS and MusicIP in effect to see different paths.

I did a rescan in LMS without the symlinks and that sorted it out.

I got this working by copying the default.m3lib from headless Ubuntu to

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Spicefly SugarCube only picking random tracks

2016-06-21 Thread downtime

I'm having difficulty getting SugarCube to return non-random mixes. I'm
running

Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
LMS 7.7.5
Spicefly 4.70

:10002 
shows plenty of tracks to mix. A test mix works fine.

LMS->Settings->Player->SpiceFly SugarCube-> Available MIP Genres 
shows all of the genres scanned so I'm assuming that MIP and SugarCube
are communicating.

However, when I try to play a mix SugarCube History shows only random
tracks chosen.

I tried all of the troubleshooting tips
(http://www.spicefly.com/article.php?page=spicefly-sugarcube-troubleshooting).
Part of the log file looks like this:

[16-06-21 14:52:45.7590] Plugins::SugarCube::Plugin::gotErrorContinue
(2) Random Track Selected to match Current Playing Tracks Genre
[16-06-21 14:52:45.7598] Plugins::SugarCube::Plugin::gotErrorContinue
(2) Adding Track; Slim::Schema::Track=HASH(0xdf48328)

Just for kicks I installed LMS, MIP and SugarCube on a Macbook and got
it working perfectly, so it must be something I'm doing or not doing
under Ubuntu.

Any help is appreciated.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Smart Mix plugin

2013-06-03 Thread downtime

Thanks Michael. I've been away since I read the depressing news that
Squeezeboxes were being discontinued. But, I'm glad I came back. I
installed Smart Mix last night and have been quite pleased so far with
the mixes generated and the functionality. I got that feeling of having
a bottomless, interesting music collection that I haven't had since I
first installed MusicMagicMixer way back when. I was happy with MMM and
the MusicIP plugin until I moved to a Sheevaplug server and as the
plugin doesn't run on ARM, have been looking for a replacement. This is
it. Much appreciated.

The scan identified all but 0.33% of my tracks. That's amazing.

The only glitch so far was that after the scan completed, my remote was
unable to control my SB3. I could use a web interface fine. I restarted
the SB3 but still no remote. Finally, I uninstalled and reinstalled
Smart Mix and now everything is fine.

Thanks again.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP SBS not talking

2010-11-09 Thread downtime

I have MusicIP and SBS running under Ubuntu 10.04. MusicIP starts first.
I can get to MusicIP on port 10002 and can generate a test mix. I have
the MusicIP plugin enabled and set to only read mixable status. 

When I do a scan for changed music, SBS acts like it reads the MusicIP
tags. This is from the scanner log:

[10-11-09 16:58:11.4272] Slim::Music::Import::runImporter (566)

[10-11-09 17:01:06.1885] Slim::Music::Import::endImporter (700)
Completed Slim::Plugin::MusicMagic::Importer Scan in 174 secon

But when I go to the library, none of the tracks have the M. This is
a new installation and I've set this up dozens of times before, but for
some reason MusicIP and SBS don't seem to be communicating. Any ideas
are appreciated.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] 7.3 and XM radio

2009-04-13 Thread downtime

Because I activated the 30-day Sirius trial, I decided to upgrade to 7.3
again to see how it works. As it turns out 7.3 prevents access to Sirius
from outside the US (where I am). I can't even add Sirius to the player
menu from inside 7.3. So, by installing 7.3 I lost access to both
XMRadio which I pay for and Sirius which I am testing.

I'm back to 7.2.1, listening to Sirius for a month and then will be
content with XMRadio.

Ouch. Sorry guys. I didn't think about hardware and subscription
investments. I was wondering why Sirius hasn't phased out XM. I guess
it's because of their responsibilities to hardware owners.

Does anyone have an idea what broke the plugin? If it was SC 7.3, what
will prevent the next SC upgrade from breaking a newly re-written
plugin leaving us again without support? 

It seems the only long-term solution is support from SC.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] 7.3 and XM radio

I'm still using 7.2 just for the XMRadio plugin. Just to see though, I
signed up for the 30-day Sirius trial and the stations I listen to most
through XMRadio are available through Sirius.

Other than the the price difference ($8.55/mo vs $12.95/mo) and the
principle of the thing, why not switch to Sirius?

I realize price and principles are important, and am not suggesting
this as flame bait. I'm just wondering if rather than using an old
version of SqueezeCenter and hoping someone will write a new plugin
(probably with every SqueezeCenter version change), I should just hold
my nose, compromise my principles, cough up the extra $52.80/year, and
switch.

Erland, thanks for a great plugin. I'm having a bit of trouble though.

Using this string works great:
ALBUMARTIST=ALBUM:10,ARTIST:5

But when I change it to:

the old information persists. The ALBUM still displays for 10 seconds
and the ARTIST for 5. I've restarted SC and tried other strings such
as

ALBUMARTIST=ALBUM:10,ARTIST:5,TITLE:3

just to check and still get no change.

Any ideas? I'm running SC 7.2.1 under Ubuntu 8.10. Do I need 7.3.x? (I
downgraded from 7.3.x because of lack of support for the XMRadio
plugin.)

I have a SB3 but no controller, so I think I might go back to 7.2 just

 You just need to run the .exe under the latest mono..
 
 

Hi Dr Lovegrove,

Thanks for your reply. As with most of my Linux experiences, I got a
couple of hours down the road to following your suggestion above and
hit a wall I couldn't climb. In this case, I searched forums to learn
what mono was, executed several commands to install mono, and then
could not figure out how to run the .exe file. I have the Monodevelop
environment installed. Was that right? How would I find out? I searched
for how to run .net apps under Ubuntu and followed what was there.

Ubuntu is extremely frustrating for a new user. Simple activities like
running an application require hours of investigation. Each seems to
have its own procedures and protocols: some require adding
repositories, other new environments, others config file modifications,
others god knows what. I know this is not your fault or issue, I just
thought I'd vent.

Still, if you have any suggestions how to run Moose, now that (I hope)
I have mono installed, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.
