Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce : BBC Sounds Plugin
I'm seeing a small problem with the "continue listening" feature in the plugin. When I've listened to part of a show via LMS and then come back to it later using the "continue listening" menu, it tells me that there's only 1 minute remaining. If I then start playing the show in question, it actually resumes at the right place where I left off. If I go into the BBC Sounds website and look at the same show, I see the same thing, the progress bar on the My Sounds summary page is fully orange, it says 1 minute remaining, but then actually resumes playing at the correct point as well, when I click into the show to play it. I guess this may be a BBC bug, but I did also notice that if I play a show through the website only, it does seem to get the summary info correct and this issue doesn't appear. ---- tw99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51684 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113045 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce : BBC Sounds Plugin
I've tried swapping over to BBC Sounds for live listening (even though this still works from BBC iPlayer plugin). I'm finding that the way the player display is managed becomes quite distracting and a bit annoying. I think this might have also been discussed earlier in the thread, but what I see is a switch between the "current track playing" artwork and the "programme presenter" artwork, every 10-20 seconds or so. If I'm listening on a PC, this means I've got a player window in the corner of my vision that keeps updating and attracting my attention. Similarly on my phone unless I turn it over so I can't see the screen ! I think the way that iPlayer handled this was much more effective as it changed a lot less. It would certainly be very useful to have an option to have a less-noisy display, even if it was just to stop the track artwork being used and keeping the programme artwork there constantly. ---- tw99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51684 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113045 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Squeezelite-X
Hi Greg.
It's not password protected, and I am using Material Skin. The problem
is very reproduceable, so I got a wireshark capture by leaving wireshark
running as I suspended and re-awoke the PC. From looking at the capture
and trying to surmise what it's doing, there are a few different HTTP
interactions, but looking at the key one (stream 25) it seems to do the
following:
POST REQUEST WITH PARAMETERS:
{\"ID\":0,\"METHOD\":\"SLIM.REQUEST\",\"PARAMS\":[\"\",[\"SERVERSTATUS\",0,100]]}
This gets a response that lists among other things all the connected
players *but NOT the squeezelite-X player itself*.
POST REQUEST WITH PARAMETERS
{\"DATA\":{\"RESPONSE\":\"/C9ED997C/SLIM/SERVERPREFS\",\"REQUEST\":[[\"PREFSET\"]]},\"ID\":\"38\",\"CHANNEL\":\"/SLIM/SUBSCRIBE\",\"CLIENTID\":\"C9ED997C\"}
[/B]
THIS GETS A SUCCESS RESPONSE.
[B]POST REQUEST WITH PARAMETERS
{\"ID\":0,\"METHOD\":\"SLIM.REQUEST\",\"PARAMS\":[\"CC:CC:09:E2:4B:D0\",[\"STATUS\",0,500,\"TAGS:CDEGILQTYSAKNS\"]]}
This gets a success response with a bunch of details about the player
with the MAC address cc:cc:. which is the player that it always
incorrectly picks, which is NOT the squeezelite-X player.
So it looks to me like it's what I had suggested previously, at the
point where the server is queried for the list of active players, the
Squeexelite-X player has not yet been registered. So it can't be chosen,
and it ends up picking the first one in the list instead.
There's another stream (stream 22) as well, which looks like it might be
the one that is actually registering the local player. That seems to get
a failure, it then retries and gets a success, and then sends a few more
"subscribe" requests.
I've attached the full decodes as text files on the assumption they'll
mean more to you (or mherger) than me !

I disabled the native ogg support and forced it to use FLAC transcoding on the server (on the setttings/advanced/file types page)- that way you can certainly seek within tracks, and ReplayGain works properly as well.
