Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] announce: ShairTunes2W - Airtunes on LMS (forked version with Windows support)
Just updated to v0.82.2 and I see that there's now a direct Settings link when viewing the plugins list using the LMS web interface (Yay!).

Incidentally, there's no settings link for your ShairTunes2 (fork) line in the list when I click on the Plugins tab in the LMS web settings GUI. I have to click on settings for some other plugin, then select ShairTunes2 (fork) from the drop down list. Once I'm there I notice the info hint for 'Airplay latency (ms)' reads: "Set the duration of the AirPlay buffer. Low value means faster start but more shuttering". Can I use this value therefore to influence the delay before the iOS device starts its video playback? rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103783 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: ShairTunes2 plugin - Airtunes on your LMS
Ok, I understand what you're explaining regarding how the timing mechanism works, so why not allow a fixed value to by set somewhere in the plugin for the delay to be used. Therefore, as in your example : philippe_44 wrote: > What iOS will do then is say ok, I'll delay the video by 1 minute (for > the sake of the example :)) and I'll play V0 on the iPhone's screen at > 12.01, but I start sending the audio immediately and I tell the speaker > to play A0 at 12.01 - all, good you'll be in sync (in practice the delay > is usually 2 sec).The iOS device will get a value to delay the video by, as > specified in the plugin settings. The problem for me currently is that the delay is always 0s (or maybe something short like 2s) so the audio is ALWAYS behind. If we could set this delay manually, we could tweak it for our particular setups so that most of the time it would be at least a close approximation to being in sync. As it is, it will always be way off and unusable for video. rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103783 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

philippe_44 wrote: > The short non technical answer is no, you can't control LMS timing from > an external source But surely it's the iOS device timing that's out. When playing to my AVR, the video get's delayed enough to match the Airplay audio delay and keeps the A/V in sync. When playing to ShairTunes2 there is no delay to the video so it's always ahead of the audio when it eventually gets output by the squeezebox. I don't need to change the LMS timing, since it would be impossible for it to output the audio early enough (with zero delay) anyway. rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103783 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: ShairTunes2 plugin - Airtunes on your LMS
I love this plugin, being able to play anything from my iDevices straight to my squeezeboxen. Is there a way to tweak the setup though so that the iDevice gets the correct audio delay info so that it will correctly delay video? If I airplay YouTube on my iPhone or iPad to my Yamaha AVR directly, even though the audio still takes a couple of seconds to start, the video is correctly delayed so that it remains in sync. If I target any of my LMS devices, the video starts straight away and the audio is then WAY behind, usually around 4-5 seconds. It's as though the iOS device gets some delay info back from my AVR that is missing from the ShairTunes2 setup (or it's incorrectly getting 0 seconds for the delay or something). rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103783 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: ShairTunes Plugin
Done a bit more digging and found 'this post'
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21094114/how-do-i-detect-the-os-name-in-perl-to-a-particular-version)
suggesting that archname is not the way to detect the running system as
Config only contains the details from the system where Perl was built,
not the one it's running on. In fact I've just noticed that typeing Perl
-V at the command prompt on both my Pi1 and Pi2 not only give identical
results, that it's armv7l, but also that it's an odroidu2 :confused:
So, I've used the suggestion there and now my Utils.pm starts like this:
Code:
package Plugins::ShairTunes2::Utils;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Config;
use Digest::MD5 qw(md5 md5_hex);
use POSIX qw(uname);
my %dmapData = (
artist => '',
title => '',
album => '',
);
my %dmaptypes= getDmapTypes();
my %dmaptypeToUnpack = (
'1' => 'c',
'3' => 'n',
'5' => 'N',
'7' => 'Q',
'9' => 'a*',# utf-8 encoded
'10' => 'N',
'11' => 'nn',
'42' => 'a*',# this is a local invention - 9 is
# getting handled as utf-8, but for
# dpap.picturedata that would be
# bad m'kay
);
sub helperBinary {
my ( $volume, $directory, $file ) = File::Spec->splitpath( __FILE__ );
my $shairtunes_helper;
if ( $Config{'archname'} =~ /solaris/ ) {
$shairtunes_helper = $directory .
"helperBinaries/shairport_helper-i86pc-solaris";
}
elsif ( $Config{'archname'} =~ /linux/ ) {
# arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int
if ( $Config{'archname'} =~ /arm/ ) {
if ( uname() =~ /armv7l/ ) {
$shairtunes_helper = $directory .
"helperBinaries/shairport_helper-armv7l-linux";
}
else {
$shairtunes_helper = $directory .
"helperBinaries/shairport_helper-armv6l-linux";
}
}
# x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
elsif ( $Config{'archname'} =~ /x86_64/ ) {
$shairtunes_helper = $directory . "helperBinaries/shairport_helper-x64-linux";
}
else {
$shairtunes_helper = $directory .
"helperBinaries/shairport_helper-i386-linux";
}
}
elsif ( $Config{'archname'} =~ /darwin/ ) {
$shairtunes_helper = $directory . "helperBinaries/shairport_helper-x64-osx";
}
else {
die( "No shairport_helper binary for your system available." );
}
return $shairtunes_helper;
}
Should I compile my helper binary though and send it to you? What's
changed in the source code from StuartUSA's version? I thought you just
changed stuff in the Perl plugin. It seems to work ok for me (artwork
shows up on my SBRadio for example), but if it will get improvements,
I'll remake it now.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: ShairTunes Plugin
ok I dug around and found that Utils.pm seems responsible for
determining the helper binary filename, based on the value of
$Config{'archname'}, and I see that $Config{'archname'} is dumped to the
debug output in sub initPlugin at line 89 of Plugin.pm, so I checked and
my string is arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int. I then found a
spare RPi V1 laying around (as you do) and booted it up, typed perl -v
and got arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int.
Hmm, so how do we distinguish between Pi1 and Pi2 in Perl?
Anyway, for now I've modified my Utils.pm thus:
Code:
sub helperBinary {
my ( $volume, $directory, $file ) = File::Spec->splitpath( __FILE__ );
my $shairtunes_helper;
if ( $Config{'archname'} =~ /solaris/ ) {
$shairtunes_helper = $directory .
"helperBinaries/shairport_helper-i86pc-solaris";
}
elsif ( $Config{'archname'} =~ /linux/ ) {
if ( $Config{'archname'} =~ /arm/ ) {
# arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int
if ( $Config{'archname'} =~ /multi/ ) {
$shairtunes_helper = $directory .
"helperBinaries/shairport_helper-armv7l-linux";
}
# arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int???
else {
$shairtunes_helper = $directory .
"helperBinaries/shairport_helper-armv6-linux";
}
}
# x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
elsif ( $Config{'archname'} =~ /x86_64/ ) {
$shairtunes_helper = $directory . "helperBinaries/shairport_helper-x64-linux";
}
else {
$shairtunes_helper = $directory .
"helperBinaries/shairport_helper-i386-linux";
}
}
elsif ( $Config{'archname'} =~ /darwin/ ) {
$shairtunes_helper = $directory . "helperBinaries/shairport_helper-x64-osx";
}
else {
die( "No shairport_helper binary for your system available." );
}
return $shairtunes_helper;
}
and copied my previously made /usr/local/bin/shairport_helper to
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/ShairTunes2/helperBinaries/shairport_helper-armv7l-linux
And it works!
So yeah, there's not a lot of point in me passing on my compiled helper
binary unless someone can tell me how to distinguish between a Pi1 and a
Pi2 as I suspect my helper won't run on a Pi1 (armv7 vs armv6).

I keep my albums in seperate folders and use folder.jpg for the artwork, but my singles are mostly all together in a folder called 'misc' and for each track I use %ARTIST - ALBUM for the title format. If the server's 'Artwork' setting could be read and offered as an additional option, and if there could be a last option to manually enter the filename, this would be great since a user might want to save to file under a different name for all sorts of reasons. -- rickwookie rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49245 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
What's the rationale behind the power buttons in tue new version? Before you could easily distinguish between player type and whether they were on or off. Now there are seemingly abstract shapes to represent different players and the difference between the button to show if the player is on or off is so subtle it's difficult to see (and possibly back-to-front, highlighted button when the player's off, flat when it's on). Also, I think there's a bug in the main volume slider where it doesn't properly set the volume to its apparent value. Sometimes you drag it to the far left and the volume is still playing at about 20% for example. If I flick the now playing screen to right to reveal the multiple player statuses, the smaller volume controls there work fine, it's just the larger contol at the bottom that is problematic. -- rickwookie rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 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

So being UK based I should be able to get all my BBC content using the iPlayer plugin right? Thoughsince I'm streaming to a SB3 then transcoding still need to be done from AAC as it always did from RealAudio. But then there's mp3 right? That should play natively, but how would I choose this over the AAC streams an is it the same quality?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC, iPlayer & Listen Again...
Hi Guys, sorry to butt in here so late in the thread but I'm getting very confused! Are we saying that we can now get everything that BBC Radio puts out (both listen again and live streams) through the iPlayer plugin, in native Squeezebox friendly formats (so no transcoding needed on the server)? I noticed this blog post a couple of weeks ago: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2009/08/improvements_to_bbc_local_radi.html That just adds to my confusion, will the format now be mp3, Flash (or is that just a wrapper around mp3 and we somehow extract the mp3 from it), AAC or WMA??? Then there's the previously mentioned page: http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/playing_programmes/local_radio_real_media/ Or are we saying the RealAudio support will continue?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] SrvrPowerCtrl - End of Day action
As I was reading your last post I straight away thought of the issue where you might have a slightly different Sleep/Shutdown option for Idle vs EOD, but then just as quickly realised that if this was the cas, then you probably would still want the EOD action to 'wake-to-do'. If you are luck enough to have a box that could wake from Sleep, that might be your regular idle action, then for EOD it would wake from sleep (which would only take a couple of seconds' in order to shut down (or hibernate) properly. So, yeah I think your logic is bang on there and I look forward to seeing it implemented. Keep up the good work! :-) -- rickwookie rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66330 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] SrvrPowerCtrl - End of Day action
I think what my problem is is that I'm possible not using the EOD action for the purpose it was intended. I'm mearly using it as an aditional idle timer, but with a much shorter time out to the 'daytime' one. During the day I want my server on most of the time, since I have to wait over a minute to start it (still can't get it to wake from S3). So I set the idle time-out to about three hours, so it only shuts down to SqueezeNetwork if I'm really not using it for a good while. However, it's unlikely that I'll want to play something at 1am unless it's a late night session or party, in which case the system won't be idle at that time. I use the EOD action to shut it down at night with a much shorter idle time-out (10 minutes I think) so that if I finish listening to music at midnight for example, the server won't waste energy hanging around until 3am to shutdown. It's for this reason that I don't want my shut-down server to wake at midnight. Maybe the custom EOD action could be a completely different thing (that will be woken for, although I still tend to think that that should be an option), and instead you could put an 'Economy7' type mode in the standard idle timer so that the user could define two time periods with two different idle time-outs. Day and night prefs if you like. -- rickwookie rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66330 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

After thinking some more about it, obviously it's only worth waking for the EOD action if it's custom (so not just to shut it down again) but ultimately there are custom actions that may also be irrelevant for a shutdown system, so the extra checkbox gives ultimate flexibilty while not wasting power (and hdd wear, etc.) to wake just to wait 40 minutes and then shut down again. Maybe put it by the custom command text box as something like 'wake system to perform this action'. -- rickwookie rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66330 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Interestingly the settings had all changed by themselves from 'Shutdown to SqueezeNetwork' to 'Shutdown Server', but I suppose that's because there was no longer a match in the current settings to any in the list so the first option (Shutdown Server) became the default. One question regarding the settings - why do I need to have at least 15 seconds wait after SqueezeCenter startup before the players are pulled back from SqueezeNetwork. Surely SqueezeCenter can't do the action (or get the plugin to do the action) until it is up and running and ready to have players attached. -- rickwookie rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

My alarms are set for 9:00 Mon-Fri and 10:00 on Saturday. This is not
to get me up ;-) but for a particular radio program in the morning,
hence why I don't want the backup alarm beep. Here's a snip from
/var/log/squeezecenter/srvrpowerctrl.log from before and after the
change from GMT to BST, and also interestingly from before and after a
system upgrade that changed my kernel to one that uses the new method
for setting the RTC; both methods work BTW.

I was going to suggest that if both the RTC and local time can be read,
then the plugin really should know exactly what offset to use when
setting the RTC wake-up event. Looking at the output from the following
command, It's even stated in plain english ("Assuming hardware clock is
kept in local time." or "Assuming hardware clock is kept in UTC
time.").
Code:
$ sudo hwclock --debug
hwclock from util-linux-ng 2.14.2
Using /dev interface to clock.
Assuming hardware clock is kept in local time.
Waiting for clock tick...
...got clock tick
Time read from Hardware Clock: 2009/04/12 10:29:11
Hw clock time : 2009/04/12 10:29:11 = 1239528551 seconds since 1969
Sun 12 Apr 2009 10:29:11 BST -0.562264 seconds
Since I suspect I'm not the only one who's BIOS clock is changed by the
OS (I'm pretty sure that Windows does this by default, in fact I think
that maybe why I may have selected that the harware clock is in local
time, since on dual boot machines in the past I had problems with the
time being out by one hour in Ubuntu) it would make sense to apply a
fix for this before the realese of the plugin.
For now as a workaround I've increased my idle time-out to 65 mins. I
may modify my /etc/default/rcS to set UTC=yes, but I haven't had
problems anywhere else with its current setting of UTC=no.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] SrvrPowerCtrl wakeup time
I noticed that my morning sever wakeup wasn't working any more, and on investigation found in /usr/bin/scwakeup.sh: # Assumes that hardware clock is set to UTC. So it seems that the value passed to the script now that I'm on BST and not GMT is an hour earlier. Thing is, any PC I've ever used has the BIOS clock set by the OS when a daylight saving change occurs. This means that the wake up is 62 minutes before the alarm and not 2 minutes as I set in the UI. This is a problem since I have the idle time-out set to 45 minutes, so the server has gone back off again before the alarm occurs and I get the annoying backup alarm beep instead of the radio. Is there an obvious way around this? I can't enter -(minus)58 minutes into the UI, so is there a way that I can make my Linux install never change the BIOS clock on daylight saving changes, but instead just ofset the OS time? -- rickwookie rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62339 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] ResetVolume and 7.2
I like this plugin. It's like when I get in my wifes car and am blasted by the stereo every time I start the car, unlike in my car, where if the stereo was left on last time, it restarts at a sensible low volume. A couple of suggestions though: The enable/disable menu might be more intuitive using the little toggle circle thingy (don't know the officical name) to make it clear what the current state is. When the plugin is first installed it currently defaults to a reset volume of 100% once enabled. Something like 25% might be a more sensible default. -- rickwookie rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51975 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
