Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Orangesqueeze goes open source-> opensqueeze
I read that the code needs serious cleanup because there is a lot of legacy code present. Let's see how this develops, there are enough decent remote-app alternatives available already of course. But maybe a few ideas or features can be used from this code. That said: It would be nice if the Squeeze Commander code would be open sources as well, IMO that was the best remote app out there around 2010/2011. It served me well for years until it became incompatible with a new Android version. *Living Room:* RPI2+HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* RPI2+HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Other rooms:* 6x SB Radio *LMS*: Version 8.3.0 on Xubuntu 22.04LTS zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117002 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

This indeed should work, but installing & running Squeezelite manually on a Linux system often isn't that easy due to permissions and/or audio middleware/engines/daemons like Pipewire, Alsa and/or PulseAudio that might be present on your system.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite - gapless playback of Ogg/Vorbis
I have noticed that the last version of pCP that worked properly was pCP 5.0.0. Also the latest version of HifiBerryOS (nov 2021) works properly when configured as a SB softwareplayer. Very strange indeed. I know of course that Ogg/Vorbis can be considered a legacy format, but currently it is still the lossy codec with the best gapless playback handling. Because of that reason I have a lot of local Ogg/Vorbis files, therefore I still hope that some people with appropriate knowledge of Squeezelite and pCP are willing to investigate this further. I have also opened an issue at Github for Squeezelite b.t.w. *Living Room:* RPI2+HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* RPI2+HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Other rooms:* 6x SB Radio *LMS*: Version 8.2.0 on Xubuntu 21.10 zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114770 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I am playing Ogg/Vorbis files without any problems since the very first day I bought a SB Duet in 2010 via LMS running on a self installed Linux server. Since 2015 I am also using software players (Squeezelite) and never had issues with Ogg/Vorbis. Do you only use a manually configured Squeezelite config for playback or do you have other devices as well to test with? You also might test playback via Squeezelite-X, which should work out of the box on a Windows computer. If that works well then there is probably something wrong only with your Squeezelite settings. (Btw: the only issue I am having with Squeezelite is that gapless playback is not always perfect with Ogg/Vorbis, sometimes you can hear small glitches). *Living Room:* RPI2+HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* RPI2+HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Other rooms:* 6x SB Radio *LMS*: Version 8.2.0 on Xubuntu 21.04 zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115044 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty IoError in logging (Spotty 4.6.1)
Since using approx two weeks I am seeing Spotty errors in my linux

100% ok (fyi: gaula is the hostname of the system).
I am running LMS 8.2.0, Spotty v4.6.1 and Xubuntu 21.04. Is this a bug
in Spotty of perhaps LMS?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite - gapless playback of Ogg/Vorbis
Today I noticed audible glitches during gapless playback when playing Ogg/Vorbis files via Win10/Squeezelite-X (latest version) and HifiBerry/piCoreplayer (latest version, no config adjustments on Squeezelite). Afaik Squeezelite should support gapless playback, and when I encode and play the same songs as FLAC files, the playback via Squeezelite-X and PiCoreplayer is indeed 100% gapless. When playing the Ogg/Vorbis files with Foobar2000 they also play perfectly gapless, the same when playing them on a Squeezebox Radio (with official regular Logitech firmware). Is this known behaviour of Squeezelite or a possible bug? As Ogg/Vorbis supports gapless playback by design I am rather confused... *Living Room:* RPI2+HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* RPI2+HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Other rooms:* 6x SB Radio *LMS*: Version 8.1.x on Xubuntu 20.04LTS zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114770 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Squeezelite-X
I am running the latest version of Squeezelite-X and most of the songs I play stops approx 30-40 seconds before the end. Sometimes they continue after a few seconds, sometimes they don't. Manually restarting the song from the beginning is always possible. It therefore looks like a buffering issue or something like that. I already cleared the cache, rebooted the computer, but I am not very experienced with Squeezelite-X where to look further, any suggestions? >From what I remember I haven't experienced this in the past. *Living Room:* RPI2+HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* RPI2+HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Other rooms:* 6x SB Radio *LMS*: Version 8.1.x on Xubuntu 20.04LTS zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108550 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

We don't use Spotify Connect here, my kids are used to and understand the difference between a local and a Spotify music library. They even refused my suggestion to use the LMS8.0 library integration function :cool: Anyway, more use case specific: In the LMS GUI, Spotify search is the centralized way of searching music on Spotify. When you find an artist, album or playlist via search, and you want 'follow' it you can click or touch the button on you mobile device. The question then is of course: in which library is it saved? For now I simply don't know, and apparently I am not the only one :-) In the ideal world you should be able to select the library you want to save it in. I guess this is a function request? *Living Room:* HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Kitchen:* SB Radio *Other rooms:* 4x SB Radio zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111923 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty v1.1.0
I am using Spotty for a few days now, and most of the time everything works fine. Sometimes however Spotty skips a track and moves to the next one when listening to a full album (that is what I mostly do). In some cases it is able to re-select the skipped track, but this is not always possible. It then skips the track again. Which logging etc. can I check? I have set the Spotty cache size on 500MB and have plenty of disk space available.
