I'm a simple user so I'm not offering any special wisdom or anything
but... have you checked the Player Output Device setting in the program?
If you select Primary Sound Driver (Windows DirectSound) it should work
the way you want. If it doesn't it's worth investigating, I agree.

Thanks for clarifying. For me, the current behavior is perfect. You
might want to have a different color for "Squeezelite Player is not
enabled", 'cause I can understand people confusing the LMS icon with SLX
one. Using Squeezelite I had not noticed this.

I had these two entries in that list, on top of the "correct" installed
version. Turning these two on, in addition to the correct version,
appears to have solved the problem.

I'm not sure I understand what you're suggesting. I'm currently using
version 2.11.6.0 and the icon is grey when squeezelite is off and blue
when squeezelite it's on. I don't see a reason to change this behavior,
as it's quite intuitive (at least for me).

Any though about the taskbar visibility setting not being saved?

Oh, man! Dragging and dropping those icons never occured to me. Even if
the bug is not fixed, you saved me quite a few clicks (it's a small
thing but kinda annoying, so thank you, really).

Also, I'm on Windows 10 Pro x64 21H1 if it matters somehow.

I would like for Squeezelite-X to be always visible in the tray, I set
it as such in Windows under Settings, Personalization, Taskbar, Select
which icons appear on the taskbar. And it works.

My problem is I have to do this after every reboot, because for some
reason the setting is not saved. All other icons I choose to set as
always visible remain so after a reboot.

Also, if at a later date I buy a CD for an album I have added as a
favorite (hence positioning it in the local library, if my assumption is
correct), would removing it from Spotify's favorites be enough to remove
it from local library (where it would be substituted by my personal
rip)?

First of all, pardon my naive questions.

When you say "integrate local library", I see you mention favorites. I
add an album as a favorite and I should find it in my local library,
correct? Would it be under the correct artist, if the relevant tag is
the same?
Thinking about using this to fill in "the blanks" for some artists I
like, for whom I like the whole discography. Is that possible this way?

Ok, going by memory, I found a similar situation as a starting point.
FLAC disabled and PCM enabled. If you have no bandwidth problem
whatsoever on your network (troublesome WiFi, etc.) it might even make
sense leaving it as PCM, probably slightly less CPU usage. I personally
activated FLAC and disabled PCM.

I guess you have volume normalisation active, that disables OGG direct
streaming. Why do you disable FLAC?

Ok, before updating... is it possible to use ignore.txt to tell both
plugin and analyzer to ignore .CUE files? They are in my rips folders
but I do not want to have them analysed, being afraid that it would lead
to each track appearing twice (or worse: being included and then not
working, since the cue files are there to recreate the CD in case of
need, but the tracks have been split in separate files). EAC calls them
"non compliant CUE", for whatever reason. I want those ignored.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Bliss DSTM mixer

2022-03-14 Thread gorman


Ok, turns out it was easier than I thought. Luckily Trackstat saved only
the path in the actual folders, without the shortcut portion. So I
rearranged stuff as needed, rescanned library from scratch, restored
trackstat data and... Bliss mixer now appears to be working. Which leads
me to believe it had the information in its db in the same format as
Trackstat did.

No more shortcuts, just a single folder with several subfolders in it.
All seems good. Thanks cpd73 for the assistance. Bear in mind there is
still need for the bliss-mixer executable to get the addresses from
config.ini (in my case, don't know how widespread my situation is... you
could have a default at 127.0.0.1 that one can override in config.ini
maybe?).

Yes, that’s the situation I’m in. There certainly are solutions now
(this setup was born under XP), big fan of symlinks personally. But I
fear those might break library and/or (more serious) Trackstats backups
in case a restore is needed if a total rescan becomes necessary after
symlinking instead of using shortcuts.

I know what’s happening. My music folder is set to one with shortcuts to
the actual folders where I have organised the music. This is from when
LMS allowed for just one folder (and anyway your plugin uses just the
first folder in the list, so in a way the situation is similar, I
guess).

I could try reorganising but I don’t think Trackstats backups would
work, as paths will have changed. :(

In the logs I see it's invoked with this line

Start mixer with params: --lms 127.0.0.1 --db

Problem is that my LMS does not respond from 127.0.0.1 but only from
192.168.10.101 and I have that in the config.ini, like this

lms=192.168.10.101

Sure, I wasn't complaining. Just providing some info. Now it's
progressing in its analysis. Once it finishes I will run a new analyse
with debug logs active, maybe those could give a clearer idea?

I mentioned this especially because the error message is wrong in this
case. There are tags and they are of the type the library should be
capable of interpreting. I'll try and provide more info later.

Oh, ok. Got it. Maybe Ralph could add the debug functionality too?
Sooner or later it might turn up to be useful to have (size difference

Just chiming in to thank you for having the traditional installer back.
Much appreciated.

Thanks bpa! I'll use this then. I will report back anything strange

For the moment I will keep your version in use, so that in case the
problem resurfaces I'll just need to activate debug on player.source to
see what's going on.

I wish to thank you for all the help, really.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty and socketwrapper 1.12beta

2022-03-07 Thread gorman


Okay, I've now finished listening to the whole track through DAC32,
which uses a more complex conversion rules (you'll see it in the log).
All flawless. 37410

Now I am playing back the same track using the beta by Ralph Irving
nd... it plays back without stopping. This, again, on the DAC32 with
the complex conversion rule you can see in the attachment above.To say I
am baffled would be an understatement. I am sure about the
socketwrapper.exe versions, as I had been careful about renaming them
with descriptive extensions. I will leave this play for a while and come
back to see if it's stopped but it's at 16m50s now and I doubt it will
stop, it always happened far sooner...

Back and it's still going at 38m18s...

I'll now try to use the original socketwrapper.exe, just for a laugh.
And it's now at 54m55s and happily chugging along.

I honestly don't know what to say. What could explain this? I am sorry,
I feel bad for wasting your time, bpa. You saw the logs, I wasn't
imagining things :-(

I wanted to wait till the entire track had played back but now, at
32m18s, I think it's time to accept that something changed. What? You
mention using an older beta, while the socketwrapper beta I downloaded
from Ralph Irving on github had been compiled three days ago with some
cleaning up. Maybe something went wrong during the process?

I will actually try to put back that version and see if now everything
plays back just fine with that one too (in which case, we'll probably
remain with a mystery on our hands but... I would not complain). The
other thing I am going to try is using it for other clients (DAC32,
Squeezelite, Boom).

I will report back once the testing is complete but, maybe, in the
meantime you could have a look and see if there's a difference between
your source and that used by Ralph Irving to compile his beta?

PS
I had no window opening during playback but socketwrapperdebug.log is
being created in the location you mentioned. Just thought it was worth
pointing this out.

Don't know if this could be relevant. But the interruption does not
appear to be constant, per player.

I replayed the same track on Squeezelite-X and I got:

Code:


  [22-03-07 17:59:31.6458] Slim::Player::Source::_readNextChunk (378) end of 
file or error on socket, song pos: 203881560

Tried again on SB2 and I got:

Code:


  22-03-07 18:09:06.4100] Slim::Player::Source::_readNextChunk (378) end of 
file or error on socket, song pos: 26566784
  



Before it happened at 15073408.

So... same order of magnitude, respectively, for the two cases... but
different numbers nonetheless.

310,603,776 bytes (296MB approximately) is the size of the full FLAC
file, clocking in at 1 hour and 3 seconds. I am not familiar with your
calculations above, unless those lenghts are PCM lenghts for some

need extra info in this regard, I'd be happy to provide anything I can.

In this case it's Squeelite-X, so a squeezlite instance, set with "-b
16384:16384".

Edit: I have a SB2, several Booms and a DAC32 if you would like me to
test on other clients.

Nope. Full FLAC file (gotten through commandline listed above) is

Unfortunately you lose me at #2. I don't have a clue about running LMS
from the command prompt. As far as the rest is concerned, I'll play with
command prompt window buffer because I'm afraid that given the amount of
text that player.source in debug mode outputs... by default it would
truncate stuff.

But first I need help with #2.

My editing was limited, literally, only to deleting repeating lines of
the same message I've quoted. I kept beginnings and ends of those
sections, in order not to break "continuity".

But to answer your question, yes, it's there at line 227 on the pastebin
I linked.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty and socketwrapper 1.12beta

2022-03-07 Thread gorman


Following my attempt to troubleshoot a situation where Spotty would end
up playing the first 1/2/3 minutes of a song and then skip to the
following track in a playlist (or stop if it was the last track in a
playlist), I ended up testing a new version of socketwrapper that
apparently is targeted at fixing this kind of problems.

(some history here: 

Test version is found here:
https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-tools/pull/3?#issuecomment-1059465862

I use, to test, the Amarok album by Mike Oldfield. Single track,
1h00m03s long.

Here is the log: https://pastebin.com/YaU33ZQx (I deleted a whole bunch
of repeating Slim::Player::Source::_wakeupOnReadable (414)
bc:5f:f4:bf:3e:71 lines to not exceed pastebin's limits).

Real life results are the track starts playing and it stops after about
5 minutes.

If I use this commandline, I get the whole FLAC, one hour and three
seconds long:


Code:


  
"C:\ProgramData\Squeezebox\Cache\InstalledPlugins\Plugins\Spotty\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\spotty.exe"
 --enable-volume-normalisation  -n Squeezebox -c 
"C:\ProgramData\Squeezebox\Cache\spotty\ba008d57" --single-track 
"spotify://track:7zq1yjQyLZbJGdltQk1dka" --bitrate 320 --disable-discovery 
--disable-audio-cache | 
C:\PROGRA~2\SQUEEZ~1\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\flac.exe --channels=2 
--sample-rate=44100 --bps=16 --endian=little --sign=signed --ignore-chunk-sizes 
- -o test.flac
  



Available for further testing whatever might be needed.

The very same track (Amarok 1h:00m:02s) plays flawlessly to DAC32 with
this "complicated" conversion line:


Code:


  [flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -q -t wav - -t flac -C 8 -b 16 - 
gain -8.5 bass +4.0 34 0.70q bass +4.5 100 0.70q equalizer 220 0.90q -2.2

treble -3.0 9000 0.70q
  



I say this because I honestly don't think it's DAC32 at fault here.

Unfortunately today I had only a very small window of time to test this.

In the brief test I ran, a couple of songs, it appears to solve the
problem. Tomorrow I will check more thoroughly.

Yes, thank you. I actually found it but didn't want to clog up the
discussion with message after message. So I edited...

As I was mentioning, Ogg direct now works (with no volume
normalization). But what I have been experiencing, no matter the
endpoint (I've got one SB2, two Booms, one DAC32 and one Squeezelite-X,
on my desktop), is playback stopping after 2/3 minutes of playback and
moving to the following track in a playlist, whenever any kind of
transcoding is happening (so whenever volume normalization is on, for a
start).
This does not happen with Ogg direct streaming (tested with Amarok by
Mike Oldfield, single track, one hour long).

Anything that might explain this? What combination of logs should I
activate to try and troubleshoot this?
Thanks for all your hard work on this, it's much appreciated.

Thanks for checking.

Thing is I have just uninstalled the plugin, deleted every configuration
file I could find (using Everything, on Windows, makes me pretty
confident about it), restarted the server, re-installed the plugin and
now I'm waiting for the library scan to finish (it asked for a library
scan when I set Import to No in settings. What does that do? Mix local
and spotify libraries? That's of no interest to me, I hope to have
interpreted it correctly.

I did this because it started to stop mid-track, switching to the
following track (I'm in Italy, since I've seen problems for similar
stuff).

Where do I check if Volume Normalization is enabled?

It's also not a problem of CPU cycles, though. It's a problem of
bandwidth. If I convert to FLAC bandwidth doubles, at a minimum. And I
have an endpoint that is unfortunately at the edge of my wifi bubble.

Why is Custom-convert.conf referring to a spotty-ogg executable that
doesn't exist?

Let me know if you want me to test something specific, I'd like to solve
this. Even more so if you think it should be working.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 4.0 - integrate local library with your Spotify collection (LMS 8+)

2022-03-03 Thread gorman


I'm having troubles playing back native Ogg on endpoints that do support
Ogg decoding.

I'm using LMS Version: 8.2.1 - 1639114554 @ Fri Dec 10 07:58:57 WEST
2021
Operating system: Windows 10 - EN - cp1252
Platform Architecture: 8664
Perl Version: 5.14.1 - MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
Audio::Scan: 1.02
IO::Socket::SSL: 2.068
Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.58 (sqlite 3.22.0)

Spotty is at version 4.8.0

I found the custom-convert.conf with this content:

Code:


  spt flc * *
# RT:{START=--start-position %s}
[spotty] -n Squeezebox -c "$CACHE$" --single-track $URL$ --bitrate 320 
--disable-discovery --disable-audio-cache $START$ | [flac] -cs --channels=2 
--sample-rate=44100 --bps=16 --endian=little --sign=signed --fast 
--totally-silent --ignore-chunk-sizes -
  
  spt mp3 * *
# RB:{BITRATE=--abr %B}T:{START=--start-position %s}
[spotty] -n Squeezebox -c "$CACHE$" --single-track $URL$ --bitrate 320 
--disable-discovery --disable-audio-cache $START$ | [lame] -r --silent -q 
$QUALITY$ $BITRATE$ - -
  
  spt pcm * *
# RT:{START=--start-position %s}
[spotty] -n Squeezebox -c "$CACHE$" --single-track $URL$ --bitrate 320 
--disable-discovery --disable-audio-cache $START$
  
  proxy spt pcm,ogg
  spt ogg * *
# RT:{START=--start-position %s}
[spotty-ogg] -n Squeezebox -c "$CACHE$" --single-track $URL$ --bitrate 
320 --disable-discovery --disable-audio-cache --pass-through $START$
  



With this, under Server Settings/File Types I see Spotty-->Ogg Vorbis as
disabled and greyed out, I cannot change it.

Logs display the following:

Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::checkBin (301)couldn't find binary
for: spotty-ogg

If I remove everything from custom-convert.conf and leave only:


Code:


  spt ogg * *
# RT:{START=--start-position %s}
[spotty-ogg] -n Squeezebox -c "$CACHE$" --single-track $URL$ --bitrate 
320 --disable-discovery --disable-audio-cache --pass-through $START$
  



Under Server Settings/File Types Spotty-->Ogg Vorbis is no longer
disabled and it refers to spotty.exe.

But if I try to play an album I get, as an example:

Code:


  [22-03-04 03:11:11.0842] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::checkBin (301)
couldn't find binary for: spotty-ogg

  [22-03-04 03:11:11.0850] Slim::Player::StreamingController::nextsong (889) 
The next song is number 0, was 11
  



How can I solve this?

It finds a list of songs (correctly, like the search results are ok with
the search term). But if I enter the "Artists" section it's empty. If I
go back and click again on Artists, it's populated correctly.

Yes, I have checked now for you. Apart from the fact that I could not
find a way to clear history on default skin, but I did that on Material
and then went to Default.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 4.6 - sorting option for Albums/Artists/Songs, replay gain fix

2021-10-24 Thread gorman


Some doubts.

What use for the "Only show my library's albums for my library's
artists" setting?

---

If I search for "The Cure", I am presented with a list of songs on the
bottom and the usual Artists, Albums, Playlists, Podcasts, Podcast
Episodes, Users icons on top. If I click on Artists, nothing appears.
If I search for "Genesis": list of songs, same six icons on top but if I
click on Artists I get the full list of Artists with "Genesis" in their
name (and the first is Genesis prog band, as expected). Why?

Again on search: if I clear the search history and I search for
something, the first case above happens. If I search for Genesis I find
myself in "The Cure" scenario, where I don't get Artists results. I then
search for "The Cure" and I get the expected Artists results.

Last, always on search: with clean history, I am using Material skin
btw, the first search presents the search requester immediately, type
search word(s) press enter and go to results (but no Artists search
results). After the first search, pressing on Search first brings you to
search history and there you can input search word(s).
If accessing search history, previous searches (the first one) that did
not show Artists results now show them.

S... to sum things up it seems to me that the first search one
conducts has problems with the results presented, for whatever reason.

2021-02-07 Thread gorman


As usual, I first wish to thank you for keeping up the development of
this. Hours of joy and trouble free music enjoyment on my desktop. Thank
you!

I came to ask about a functionality that I hoped could be added but
after installing the last version (2.7.14.0) I suspect the functionality
is there but it's giving me problems.

I would like for the back function on the mouse (the one that makes you
browse back in internet browsers) to apply to the music library panel,
while browsing through music. Now what I see is that the first press
does nothing and the second press completely blanks the program window.
Knowing there's Chromium in the background, I pressed F5 to reload and
that brings me back to the initial screen.

Now I press F5 a couple of times and... the back button on the mouse
works as expected. So, all in all, not much of a bug report, I'm aware.
But maybe others will meet the same situation, so I'll leave it here as
reference.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Squeezelite-X

2020-08-14 Thread gorman


Thanks for replying so quickly. I went on seeking solutions... and I'm
not sure the problem lied with Squeezelite-X. The server is a fixed
machine, always wired. And it's the same machine on which Squeezelite-X
is running.

I thought the problem lied with SQLX, is there an official acronym for
it? :), but then I noticed that accessing the plugins page in servers
settings (web interface) crashed the server too. So I wondered whether
first the server crashed and then SQLX gave its errors.

I looked at Squeezebox Server logs and I found this:

And I remembered that yesterday (or today, I honestly don't remember),
SQLX alerted me to a Spotty update being available. I updated and
restarted the server from within SQLX. Maybe something went wrong there,
because when I accessed Task Manager (Windows 10) I saw like 8 or 9
different spotty.exe instances. But according to the plugins page,
spotty was not installed. So I force stopped all those instances,
deleted all folders and files related to spotty, restarted the server
and... crossing fingers, now everything seems to be working correctly.

I am sorry for thinking that SQLX was the culprit, while it probably was
simply reacting to the server stopping, and not causing it to stop.

IGNORE THE ABOVE

Apparently when I uninstalled the program, it left stuff in its
installation folder, that I needed to delete manually. I did not notice
initially. Now Sqlx starts but it crashes the server, even without the
internal player active.

Getting this strange error whatever I try doing with Squeezelite-X.

[image: https://i.imgur.com/uSUVdB5.png]

Before this I had started to have Squeezelite-X crashing the Logitech

player. With an external one it worked ok, but as soon as the internal
one was activated the server crashed and in debug log I saw this message

So I decided to uninstall and reinstall and the above '' is not a valid
integer value started to appear, making it impossible to run the
program. It does not connect to the server, it's impossible to save
settings... it basically does nothing. I've tried looking in the
registry if I could find anything justifying this, to no avail.

Waiting for solution/suggestions, I've settled on using -C 10 for
recompressing to Ogg Vorbis at around 500 kbps. With this it works
flawlessly, although transcoding from lossy to lossy it's not exactly
perfect...

Yeah, re. the above, I assembled a "frankenstein" custom-convert line to
test the idea.

I disabled all other conversions and checked player.source debug, the
line gets used and plays perfectly each and every song. I guess the
problem ha something to do with buffer somehow. Anybody has any idea?
Buffer in sox? Buffer in Squeezelite? It's strange because I have
convert.conf stuff much more complex than this giving me no problem,
with flac output.

I'm not sure if I get your question correctly but I've tried doing an
experiment. I took out the equalization portion of the sox instruction,
leaving just:


Code:


  spt flc * bc:5f:f4:bf:3e:70
# RT:{START=--start-position %s}
[spotty] -n Squeezebox -c "$CACHE$" --single-track $URL$ --bitrate 320 
--disable-discovery --disable-audio-cache $START$ | [sox] -q --endian little -t 
s16 -r 44100 -c 2 - -t flac -C 0 -b 24 - 
  



One song played through completely, the next one stopped in the middle
like before and the four after that I've tried, same thing.

Next I tried disabling the above line and went back to using the
ogg->flac one in standard custom-convert.conf from Spotty.
Same thing is happening. Songs play for a while and then stop. You have
full logs in the previous message above for when that happens (with
sox).

The only way I am able to play music fully is by using the native OGG
streaming option or the OGG->MP3 option. Which leads me to believe it's
a problem of... buffer? Since playing and pausing, playing and pausing
brings songs to their end evend with sox or flac.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 4.0 - integrate local library with your Spotify collection (LMS 8+)

2020-07-08 Thread gorman


Ok, I don't know what more to try...

My intent is of using sox to equalize music coming from Spotty to my
headphones.

My custom.conf line reads like this:


Code:


  spt flc * bc:5f:f4:bf:3e:70
# RT:{START=--start-position %s}
[spotty] -n Squeezebox -c "$CACHE$" --single-track $URL$ --bitrate 320 
--disable-discovery --disable-audio-cache $START$ | [sox] -q --endian little -t 
s16 -r 44100 -c 2 - -t flac -C 0 -b 24 - gain -6.9 equalizer 30 0.43q +6.2 
equalizer 699 2.00q +1.0 equalizer 2924 4.11q -1.7 equalizer 6031 5.05q -6.2 
equalizer 9825 4.08q +2.2 equalizer 83 4.24q +1.3 equalizer 209 1.54q -1.2 
equalizer 2842 0.1q +0.2 equalizer 12443 1.29q +2.7 equalizer 19698 0.46q -11.8
  



It works perfectly. I can write a *complete* output file, correctly
processed by sox, if I use the tokenized command from logs.

The problem comes when I play through my Squeezelite installation
(Windows 10 Pro x64 1903, Squeezelite v1.9.7-1256). Playback starts
normally and music is perfect but... after a minute or so, sometimes a
little more, sometimes a little less, playback stops. If I was using a
playlist, playback goes to the next track, where the behaviour repeats.

Now, I've activated all debug logs I thought might help in solving this.
Note that the Squeezelite player has the bc:5f:f4:bf:3e:70 mac address,
as per the custom.conf line above.

>From what little I can see, the buffer fills fast and for a certain
amount of time remains at 99% fullness. Then we get this:

And from there the fullness slowly goes down until playback stops in the
middle of the song. The song I played lasts 4:19.627, length I get from

With this setup Ogg file are played directly:

But I did not touch custom-convert.conf as far as order of codecs is
concerned. I simply added a line to equalize stuff. If I go this way:

[image: https://i.imgur.com/Is4epFa.png]

The flac rule gets picked up. The second flac rule I disable is the one
with sox equalization, but the first flac rule was installed with the
regular installation of the plugin.

Currently my custom-convert.conf file looks like this:

Code:

You're right. I thought even letters displayed were part of responsive

Artists, the list then is displayed correctly.

Is this something that should be discussed with the author of Material

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 4.0 - integrate local library with your Spotify collection (LMS 8+)

2020-07-03 Thread gorman


Tried Spotty with Squeezebox Server 7.9.3 - 1579195498 @ Thu Jan 16
21:08:22 WEST 2020 on Windows 10 Pro x64.
Now, I use squeezelite installed on the same machine, to listen on
headphones while at my desk. Squeezelite is latest release 1.9.7-1256
available.

When I listen to Spotify songs play just fine for a little while, more
than a minute, less than two usually.
And then in logs I see stuff like this:

Code:


  [20-07-04 02:19:44.0013] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_eventAction

bc:5f:f4:bf:3e:70 mark end of stream
  


And playbacks skips to the next song in playlist, rinse and repeat.

Any idea on why?

Also... I launch squeezelite with these arguments: "-n Headphones -s
Music -c flac,pcm,mp3,ogg,aac,wma,dsd -o 17 -a :1". Last argument is for
bitperfect playback through WASAPI exclusive. But the thing that I don't
understand is why I see SB Server transcoding to flac when the player is
configured to handle ogg natively. Operatively it doesn't change a
thing, but I'm curious...

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite resampling, how to?

2020-06-22 Thread gorman


I'm using Squeezelite on a Windows machine, connecting to an external
DAC while using Equalizer APO to equalize my headphones. As Equalizer
APO does not allow for WASAPI or Asio, I need to go by the sampling rate
I use on Windows control panel.

I have mostly 16/44.1 files but some are 24/88.2 and some are 24/96. How
should I use the -u option in Squeezelite to resample everything to
96/24, in order to avoid Windows' bad upsampling functionalities? I
guess sox can make a better job out of it (if I'm right and Squeezelite
still uses sox libraries to do this).

I've read here https://ralph-irving.github.io/squeezelite.html but I'm
missing how to instruct to upsample to 24/96. There's all sorts of
instructions to customize how sox upsamples but the instructions are
missing the most basic parameters (or I'm blind...).

Thanks in advance.

In my case I see this

Default=Speakers (Realtek High Definiti [MME]
Microsoft Sound Mapper - Output [MME]

I note that the default would pick a specific audio device and not
Microsoft Sound Mapper. Maybe this is why it was not working correctly
for me, as it looked for a device that was disabled and did not know
where to switch to. It seems to work fine now that I select Microsoft
Sound Mapper - Output [MME].

@rgdawson I wanted to ask one thing regarding the built-in squeezelite.
For reasons beyond the scope of this question, I often find myself
switching sound device and disabling the previous one in use.

Let's say from the motherboard sound card to an external USB DAC. When I
do this, Squeezelite refuses to use the new default output device, even
though in settings I have it set as "Default".
Is there something I can do to fix this? Alternatively, is there a
command line to restart the internal squeezelite in your app, so that I
could automatize it?

makes it start *before* Squeezeserver has started, leading to the
playlist previously loaded being lost, substituted with one which I
honestly don't know where it comes from (probably it's the last playlist
that Squeezerver correctly has in store for that player).
Does it happen just to me?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Squeezelite-X

2019-01-05 Thread gorman


I've just updated the "non Microsoft Store" version and I see it's now
2.0.10. What's been changed from 2.0.7? And a great 2019 to the author
of this magnificent piece of software! :D

PS
By the way, I read about the Microsoft Store version installing it with
autostart. Is it possible to do it in the version I'm using? I don't see
it in the options. I've done the run shell:startup thing and added a
shortcut to SqueezeliteX.exe there but I'm not sure if that's the
correct way of going about it.

With Miniplayer, clicking on artist or album invokes the web browser
version of the interface, instead of restoring Squeezelite-X to normal
view. Don't know if it's intended behaviour but I find it somewhat
illogical.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Squeezelite-X

2018-11-15 Thread gorman


Great work going on with the new skin. Can't wait to try it.

Meanwhile, I've been using SLX *a lot* lately.

One thing that seems... "off":

I use the MiniPlayer a lot and I think it should not reside in the
taskbar. I know I first asked to change its name but the more I use the
more I get convinced it doesn't make sense for it to be there.
I explain. When you are using the miniplayer, you see it in the taskbar.
If you minimize it, it goes in the taskbar. If you expand it, it stays
in the taskbar.
But if you click on the tray icon, you get the expanded version and now
two entries in the taskbar. If you reduce to miniplayer this second
"instance" you are left with a single Miniplayer window (and that's
correct).

I guess it would be better for Miniplayer not to be in the taskbar. It
takes away space for something you can in any case control from the tray
icon. This way, when you expand it you would get a single taskbar
instance (which I feel is less confusing behaviour).

I hope my explanation was clear.

2018-11-09 Thread gorman


That new skin looks quite interesting!

I wanted to ask if it was possible to have the tray icon in a different
color when using an external squeezelite. I have it as a service and the
"grayed out" icon is easy to confuse with other grayed out icons which
mean "bad" things in my system (namely VPN not working).
I hope it's not a too annoying request and I would understand if it's
not possible to implement it.

Thanks and keep up the good work. What you're doing has contributed to
my pleasure in listening to music when working at my PC. I discovered
that I'm listening to much more music, as Squeezelite-X is such a joy to
use. :)

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] ANNOUNCE: YouTube Plugin (API v3)

2018-11-04 Thread gorman


Installed it on LMS 7.9.1 and it appears to work just fine. I had some
problems because all the different YT authorizations (oauth, keys, etc.)
ended up with a space in front of them in the settings page. Since I did
not add a space (for both ID client and secret OAuth I used google's
built in function to copy to clipboard), I wonder whether the space was
there by default and I simply pasted after it.
Plugin version is 0.82.0 from standard repository.

Now everything works fine. Looking forward to HLS support, hoping it
will allow to select best audio track available or something like that.

Thanks for this, much appreciated! :)

When the miniplayer is activated, the caption in the taskbar becomes
"MiniBrowser". I would prefer for it to remain SqueezeLite-X.
MiniBrowser makes me think about Firefox/Chrome/etc maybe it's just

Absolutely *love* the miniplayer option now available.

Thank you so much for the awesome work you keep on doing. I don't see

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Annouce: Squeeze Control, a squeezebox remote app, is now available for Android

2018-03-25 Thread gorman

I use Squeeze Control together with SB Player, to listen with headphones
when at home.

Headphones used are Sony WH-1000XM2, wireless LDAC. They offer touch
controls for volume (works), play/pause, skip track. Play/pause and
skipping tracks don't work.

I have activated Preferences/Controls/Use Media Buttons to no avail.
Touch controls work perfectly with all other players I've tried them
with (Gone Mad Music Player, foobar2000 and DSub).
