Yes, I'm syncing players with the group plugin. 

Code:

"format_id":7 

 shows up with group players, as well as with individual players. 
Well, I *thought* I could play hi res files on my players, with the SBs
having external dacs connected via coax. I now see that the files are
downsampled for the SBs. Thanks for pointing that out.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Qobuz.com streaming plugin

2022-10-23 Thread maddymarc


I've tried searching this big thread and elsewhere, but I can't find an
answer for my problem.

I have a studio subscription to Qobuz and the plugin works for playing
16-bit, 44.1kHz Flac music. I however can't get hi-res files to stream
to my players. I have 24-bit, 192k local files that will play fine to
all my players (pCPs, SB classics, SB2), but Qobuz hi res songs always
display as ~750-850kbps, 44.1k. 

Qobuz settings (plugin v2.6.1) are set to FLAC hi-res. What other
settings should I check/change? 

Thanks,
Marc

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty 4.7.0

2021-12-25 Thread maddymarc


Thank you, tw99! Toggling some checkboxes in the filetypes settings page
solved this! 

I unchecked "Prefer native format (decoding on the player) whenever
possible" and disabled Ogg in the Spotty file types to get the smoothest
sync at the start of songs.

Cheers!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty 4.7.0

2021-12-22 Thread maddymarc


I didn't see another 4.7 thread, so I'm asking here.

I use a mixture of hardware SBs and some linux squeezelite players in my
home setup, all synced with the Group plugin in one group. Every player
is hardwired in my home network. Most of my listening is through Spotty.
All Connect features are off in LMS.

When using Spotty, playback will always start with one of my linux
(piCorePlayer) players first, and the hardware SBs catch up after about
a second into the song. This doesn't happen with local music.

I played with some of the sync settings for the piCorePlayer, but that
didn't address the early start and made the sync worse overall.

Any idea where I can look to sort this out?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 4.4 - more personalised content

2020-10-08 Thread maddymarc

When spotty or Spotify connect transitions from one song to another, the
first second or so is missing. And there’s a little timing hiccup in the
playback. So a new song doesn’t output through my players until a second
or so late. 

Is there a setting I can toggle to buffer more time at the beginning of
songs? 

I’m using LMS 7.9.3 and Spotty on a piCorePlayer.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread

2020-10-03 Thread maddymarc

Thank you for continuing to contribute! Your post made me check
everything in the players screen again.

I figured it out. Well, I got it to stop. 

My iPhone has iPeng playback enabled and I occasionally use it. Even
though it’s not part of the sync group, it was causing the volume drop.

I muted the iPhone in the list, and the problem went away. I also
cleared the cached playlist for the iPhone, and the problem hasn’t
returned.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread

2020-10-03 Thread maddymarc


Every time I open iPeng on my iPhone SE (2020), it lowers the volume of
my grouped players. However, it doesnt do this when I open the
app with my iPad Air (2019, IOS 14.0.1).

I love iPengs functionality for controlling my players throughout
the house, but this volume quirk is very frustrating, because I need
volume control for the different amplification setups at each player.

Anyone else have this problem, or even solved it?

I love having Spotty for my LMS setup and use it daily. One thing that I
have never been able to get right is the song display when multiple
players are synced and using Connect. The audio works fine. Occasionally
a song will repeat, or the playlist will not continue, but that's few
and far between. No matter if one or multiple players are Connect
enabled, when they are synced (which is all the time for me) only the
first song title played will display, even though the Connect playlist
continues and the songs change. 

Has anyone else experienced this? Has anyone figured out how to fix
this?

I use a picore player server, one picore player, one SB3 and one SB2. 

Thanks!

I've had Spotty working pretty well for a few days. Well done, Michael!
And thank you for keeping LMS up to date with Spotify!

I have noticed a strange thing though. I'm getting the nebulous "illegal
file descriptor or filehandle" error piling up in the LMS log file when
Spotty is playing. There will be many listed in a very short bit of
time. Though there isn't any problem with the audio. Here's an example:

"[17-06-14 14:20:43.2904] Slim::Networking::IO::Select::__ANON__ (131)

filehandle (either no attached file descriptor or illegal value):  at
/Slim/Networking/IO/Select.pm line 134. ;
fh=Slim::Web::HTTP::ClientConn=GLOB(0x9ca5ee4)"

If I switch to local music the errors stop. I'm pretty sure I wasn't
seeing these with the Triode-based Spotify Protocol Handler.

Any ideas what it could be?
