Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] ANNOUNCE: iHeartRadio to play US live iHeart radio stations
I have just modified my stream matching regex so that the hls streams do not trigger my plugin - so this should mean that you can play the MP3 stream and see what RNP does with it and then you can switch to HLS to see what PlayHLS does with the different data. As before, to try it out ... download the attached ZIP file ... unzip it to get the .json file ... copy that .json file to the plugin stationdata directory. +---+ |Filename: stationdata-z100whtzfm.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36460| +---+ Paul Webster author of \"now playing\" plugins covering radio france (fip etc), planetradio (bauer - kiss, absolute, scala, jazzfm etc), kcrw, abc australia and cbc/radio-canada and, via the extra \"radio now playing\" plugin lots more - see https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?115201-announce-radio-now-playing-plugin Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108466 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Thanks Paul - I have installed the RNP plugin, and will add your station info and have another bash. At the moment the HLS streams are better than the shoutcast ones were, but if I read right, the RNP is for shoutcast streams and might barf at the HLS ones. Ill play around.

I have been experimenting with the API to iHeartRadio song info. My code is working but their data quality is poor. The Now Playing track info is often more than 2 minutes late and sometimes not present at all. You can see it via the recently- played part of their site. Ill try some other iHeart stations before I give up on it.

The screen shot was from IPeng. But its the same on web UI. When you select the radio station on the IHeart plugin, it adds all 4 feeds to playlist. I attach a similar screen grab from the webUI.

I can also confirm that as of this morning, the HLS stream is displaying either the station name or the advertiser (for the most part) whereas the shoutcast stream is scrolling raw tags and not being parsed except for tracks sometimes.

I will do nothing with shoutcast streams. I'll look at PlayHLS to minimise the ad format messages which are specific to iHeart. Other stations use different formatting so it is functionality I'd prefer not to be in the HLS plugin as it will get out of control. Your info confirms that ad behaviour is quite varied and there are multiple cases. I don't usually test with Touch/Squeezeplay or Material UIs so I need to check if perhaps "adContext" display is somehow a UI specific artifact. General advice - the system that has IO::Socket::SSL version of 1.* needs to be updated to a 2.* - https connection will fail as 1.9* is very old in security terms. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108466 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Yep - that is why I was looking for "M" and now "F". To try mine ... If not already installed then ... install Radio Now Playing plugin and restart LMS. Then take the attached zip file and unzip it and copy the unzipped file ( stationdata-z100whtzfm.json ) to the plugin's "stationdata" directory and restart LMS. The directory will be somewhere like /usr/local/slimserver/Cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/RadioNowPlaying/stationdata (you can find the LMS Cache directory from Settings/Information in LMS Default web UI) you should see lots of other .json files already in there. Do not try playing the HLS version of their stream while this broadcaster is enabled in the plugin because it will probably result in the metadata appearing to get stuck. I'll work out a way to avoid that later. +---+ |Filename: stationdata-z100whtzfm.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36432| +---+ Paul Webster author of \"now playing\" plugins covering radio france (fip etc), planetradio (bauer - kiss, absolute, scala, jazzfm etc), kcrw, abc australia and cbc/radio-canada and, via the extra \"radio now playing\" plugin lots more - see https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?115201-announce-radio-now-playing-plugin Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108466 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

When their meta data was flowing well over http (perhaps over their night when no live DJ) the end tag appears at the end of a set of adverts. The adverts before ut had different metadata. There is a tag in their shoutcast that is M for music and T when not which I use in the regex.

With HLS there are multiple places to provide metadata. For Z100, track data seems to be provided into the HLS playlist - and I think it is easy to spot any title starting with *text="Spot Block End"* .

I have no skills in this kind of coding) Paul has detailed how iHeart metadata might be fixed for LMS. There are HLS and HTTP/aac URLs for z100 - it is not clear which you are playing. If you see track art & title then you are playing the HLS stream as metadata is handled better in HLS. I think Paul solution will only work for HTTP stream not the HLS streams. PlayHLS would need to be updated to suppress the ad spots. Just for completeness * iHeart plugin has not part in playing a stream nor how metadata is displayed. * iHeart station are intended to be played using an iHeart app so iHeart images are handled properly. * iHeart stations usually use standard metadata transport mechanisms (e.g. ICY in http, HLS directives or ID3 tag in HLS) have a iHeart specific formatted metadata which is interpreted by the iHeart App to show an ads perhaps which are tailoer to the user. The metadata formatted has changed over the years as iHeart evolved their app - so expect any LMS fix might break. There may be different metadata formatting used in other jurisdictions so a US fix may not for AU stations. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108466 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I just heard a few songs and then an ad break. The metadata looks like this ... Code: [21-12-12 07:57:17.4278] Slim::Player::Protocols::HTTP::readMetaData (224) Metadata size: 80 [21-12-12 07:57:17.4286] Slim::Player::Protocols::HTTP::readMetaData (252) Metadata: StreamTitle=' - text="Spot Block End" amgTrackId="9876543" length="00:00:00"'; [21-12-12 07:57:17.4309] Slim::Player::Protocols::HTTP::parseMetadata (298) Icy metadata received: StreamTitle=' - text="Spot Block End" amgTrackId="9876543" length="00:00:00"'; [21-12-12 07:57:41.5849] Slim::Player::Protocols::HTTP::readMetaData (224) Metadata size: 368 [21-12-12 07:57:41.5858] Slim::Player::Protocols::HTTP::readMetaData (252) Metadata: StreamTitle='Ed Sheeran - text="Bad Habits" song_spot="M" MediaBaseId="2720462" itunesTrackId="0" amgTrackId="-1" amgArtistId="0" TAID="396790" TPID="137849860" cartcutId="0424557001" amgArtworkURL="http://img.iheart.com/sca/imscale?w=195=http%3A//assets.iheart.com/default/Default-PlayerAlbumArt.png; length="00:03:47" unsID="-1" spotInstanceId="-1"'; So I think that something could be done with that to spot a real song ... and even show the cover art (although in this case it a a default image so probably would supress it).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] ANNOUNCE: iHeartRadio to play US live iHeart radio stations
bpa (plugin author) has recently, in a different thread, described the plugin as a directory of stations & their stream URLs ... and not being involved in the subsequent streaming. So in this case it is likely that the metadata is embedded in the stream by the broadcaster. It would be possible to have a plugin replace content. I'll take a look and see if I can do it in my Radio Now Playing plugin ... assuming the station is not geo-locked to USA listeners only.

The "best" repo URL for iheart is http://bpa-code.github.io/bpaplugins/iheartradio-repo.xml The sourceforge repo URL can timeout which can lead to "odd" results which is why I now "recommend" github.io URLs for repo URLs.

The updated iHeart plugin has no max version specific. If it worked for LMS8 - then I would suspect 1585662085.. How did you install 1585662085. zip, git ?? There is a separate specific issue with the PlayHLS where some of the repo URLs were not updated and have a max version of 7.* bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108466 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] ANNOUNCE: iHeartRadio to play US live iHeart radio stations
I've updated the iHeart Radio plugin to V1.2. Both repo URLs have been changed to deliver v1.2 (V1.0 was US only, V1.1 included CA, AU and NZ). * support of Mexico in addition to USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. * Genre menus for all countries although the station count seems to be inaccurate * Will not display HLS URLs unless HLS support (e.g.via plugin PlayHLS) has been installed. * Choice to set preferred order of formats (e.g. HLS first , Shoutcast first) * Option to have iHeart menu under Radio or My Apps With PlayHLS V2.x - many (mainly US) of the iHeart HLS URLs will provide cover images for track as well as Title & Artist If you are getting timeout or long delay loading the Settings/Plugin tabs - this may be caused by delays at sourceforge .

Hi guys, only spotted yesterday that this has been extended to NZ (awesome!). However installing it last night I have a weird behaviour and don't know where to begin on de-bugging. It searches and loads a stream fine, however each HLS stream loads with only a 10sec track length and then simply stops playing at the end of it. What should it be doing?

Thanks. Your observation is correct. The count at the genre level is the value as returned by iHeart but when list of stations is fetched for some reason only a much smaller number is actually provided sometimes none at all (e.g. Jazz, Blues). This is the reason is why I didn't provide Genre search for AU and CA - I saw same "problem" but seems to be worse. Sometimes only a test station is returned. I thought the issue might be related to geo-locking but seems not. The API are not documented and I cannot run iHeart Apps to monitor use of API because of geo locking - so what the plugin does is based on educated guesswork. It's possible the Genre API is no longer actively used by iHeart apps. AFAICT the station Search supports a wide range of keywords not just words in the station id. In the beta V1.1 - I accidentally left on some debugging logging statements I'll make V1.1 (without debug logs) the main release over the weekend. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108466 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Decoder are in firmware not hardware. HE-AAC v2 was defined in 2004 and am pretty sure Touch supports it. Usually incompatibilities result in no audio and are logged. You could look at Touch log for audio decode message - rlogin and look ta /var/log/messages while playing. > For example, does this stream play without stuttering "natively" on your > Radio or Touch: http://c13icyelb.prod.playlists.ihrhls.com/1765_icy > > It seems like it tries to decode but doesn't have the internal > processing power to keep up, because the stuttering gets worse when > doing other things on the Radio simultaneously (ie. navigating menus, > etc.) Default is for stream to be played direct (i.e. audio goes direct from router to Touch - not via LMS) but this means Touch buffer needs to be topped up frequently to ensure smooth playing. If source station is slow to respond to "top up" requests or there is a block somewhere between station & player and then Touch may run out of audio. Usual LMS remedies for these "lumpy" stream are (i) increase Radio Station Buffer setting in WebUI Setting/Advanced/Network (default 3 secs maybe too small) and (ii) enable "Proxied streaming" for player bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108466 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

This is an unoffical plugin making use of an undocumented API without any sign-in so odd behaviour or breakdown may occur at any time. I don't use the plugin very often but I noticed the 503 yesterday and today. I think it was an iheart CDN issue rather anything else - I compared the iheart.com HTTP "genre catalog" request against the similar plugin HTTP request and no difference so I don't think it is an API change. LMS will cache responses so if you get an error, it is possible LMS will cache that bad response for 15-30 minutes so gateway error may have gone away quickly but it may still appear on LMS for a number of minutes. I've tried to disable caching where it is reasonable. > For my stations all seem to work initially but the HLS and Secure HLS > have breaks every 30 - 60 seconds.

AFAICT (at least from a non UK non US location) HLS streams do not offer any better quality that shoutcast - so don't opt for HLS if shoutcast streams are available. If you look at top of the thread - the HLS gaps issue has been discussed already. iHeart HLS stream are "special" - I think spaces are being for ads - so at the moment HLS stream do not play properly. As iHeart stream do not play for me on any browser (chrome, Firefox or Explorer) but do play with gaps using ffmpeg so I don't have any reference "good" stream to compare and determine what is "special". It is possible that it requires "personal details" to to tune the ads. I may look into it later. Images are LMS for menus - PlayHLS plays HLS stream but does not support metadata or images so it will revert to LMS generic (which may be affected by where HLS URLs appear in the generated playlist) . Have you found a station which only has HLS ? I have worked out how to make Streamtheworld URLs playable but so far no request so I will not update the plugin until there is a need. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108466 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Many thanks for this. I got an error 503 bad gateway when I first tried it yesterday, but it's working fine now.For my stations all seem to work initially but the HLS and Secure HLS have breaks every 30 - 60 seconds. The station artwork is displayed on my controller display but reverts to the antenna picture sometimes This on my QNAP which is my main music server. I have some old SB2 players - it works fine on that also (not HLS), and displays the track correctly. I have some old SLIMP3's and will try one of them later. On the Odroids runing MAX2PLAY I cannot play the HLS streams. Maybe that's an FFMPEG thing - I do have your PLAYHLS plugin installed but I do not think I copied FFMPEG modules in (do I have to?) Anyway, for now, I am more than happy. 11 downloads? Give it time... This is great example of the power of the Squeezebox system.

Many thanks for submitting this. iHeart seems to be gobbling up more and more stations. Just recently I lost two that I frequently listen to. This plugin solved my problem.

I cannot play iHeart stream from web site or apps but I can play many stations (but not all) using URL directly so the main purpose of the plugin is providing simple access. Shoutcast and possibly pls are usually there for legacy internet radio devices who do not support HLS. I'd expect HLS is the basis for the iHeart closed future. The additional metdata info on EXTINF lines are iHeart specific. I think the gaps in m3u8 playback are there to discourage the use of non iHeart players such as ffmpeg as I get the same gaps with VLC with the "vanilla" m3u8 URL If there was demand/need I might see oif the BBCiPlayer HLS can be modified to play iHeart streams but at the moment with only 11 downloads - I doubt it. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108466 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
