Sorry to bother you with it. With regard to Qobuz streaming, it seems to get confused with both pausing and skipping forward or backward within tracks. Again, nothing to do with the CC plugin. So, for me at least, all is good now. Thanks for your help, as always.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)
Just checked at least for RP: the protocol handler of RP (the part of the plugin that tells LMS how to stream data for a given source and collect metadata) tells LMS that interactive streams cannot be paused, so LMS stops them. I vaguely remember a simialr thing for Qobuz where (for no good reasons AFAIR) it refuses to pause. I think for Qobuz there was a limitation with seeking within https streams or something, wasn't there? Something you improved at some point? RP is different: The interactive stream is a series of blocks of tracks. Handling these blocks is a bit complicated as a block can have many tracks. Thus the file length has little to do with the individual track length. And RP (at least at the time I implemented it) didn't support seeking on their end. Therefore I didn't invest time into making it work. ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

As mentioned previously, I had also been experimenting with the "pause/resume" Google Assistant commands and was getting mixed results. With this version, I am now getting predictable and correct results except for one hopefully minor glitch. The "pause" command correctly puts the LMS player in the paused mode. From there, it can be successfully returned to playback mode via either the "resume" or "play" command. However, upon returning to playback mode, the LMS player is also muted.

This problem is not limited to CC audio. It is easily reproducible on
any CC via Google Assistant. In case you can't recreate it, what logging
options would be useful? I don't see the LMS commands anywhere in the
log. Are the mute/unmute requests handled with "mixer muting 0/1" LMS
commands? If so, that should work correctly. The only anomaly is the
fact that LMS handles relative volume changes while the player is muted
by setting the volume to 0 before applying the change, a behavior which
is patently incorrect and has to be compensated for in client/plugin
code. You may recall the discussion on this topic a while back that
resulted in leaving that behavior in place over my strong objection, for

it. ('Here' (https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/discussions/558) is

have been the case then, it is certainly the case now as the Denon AVR

compensate for it. (Sorry for the digression...)

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)
Now that the dust has settled, I'd like to report a simple and easily recreatable problem in the new "mute/unmute" Google Assistant voice support. The "mute" voice command now correctly syncs with LMS, the client app correctly showing the current volume as unchanged but in the muted state. I'm assuming this is done via a "mixer muting 1" cli command. However, a subsequent "unmute" voice command, while correctly unmuting playback on the Mini and taking the LMS player out of the muted state, results in the LMS volume being set to '0'. This is not the expected result of a "mixer muting 0" command so I'm not sure where that is happening. A volume change command while muted acts similarly, correctly bringing the Mini out of the muted state and changing the volume as requested but also resulting in the LMS volume being set to 0. I have also been experimenting with Google "pause" and "resume" commands, with mixed results. While the "pause" works reliably, resuming playback seems to be a hit or miss affair. I will hold off on pursuing that for now. Meanwhile, everything else is going well.

The mute does not really work well on CastBridge because LMS lacks the notion of mute (toward it's players). To mute, it sends a volume command with level set to 0. I've added an option so send a mute command to LMS when detected on the CC, but that will not have much impact (today, mute is simply ignored). Regarding your "Moby Dick" issue, I have an interesting feedback on stackoverflow where someboyd rightfully pointed out that the socket should be in FIN_WAIT2 state at that moment, and this state has *NO* timeout. So if Windows timeouts, it's a bug. Difficult to believe, but our use case is uncommon and this might be why it's not very visible.

Having that level of understanding will contibute greatly towards achieving a real solution. My testing with version 2.1.12.3 is looking very good. Google Home volume commands to my Nest Mini pair are now being passed to and processed by LMS. It's really nice being able to both control AND sync the volume with voice commands, and I didn't realize until now that I can also pause and unpause LMS playback with voice commands. If there are any other scenarios you would like me to test with the change, let me know. Thanks for getting this working.

I really-read my code yesterday and even trace back when I added that group check and it was very very early before I started logging properly changes. But I know I made lots of changes in the volume management to handle properly the risk of volume change échos and there might have been some issues with groups that are not needed any more. So my intent today was to remove that group limitation and test a bit. NB: one of the most painful issue in these volume alignement is that LMS has a its own strange volume levels (0 128 or a more linear mode that does not really help) and its not always easy, as silly as it sounds, to have a stable point when CC changes to N on his own, then LMS by echo changes to P and P sent back to CC does not echo with N (yes) LMS 8.2 on Odroid-C4 - *SqueezeAMP!*, 5xRadio, 5xBoom, 2xDuet, 1xTouch, 1xSB3.

Looking at the code, it appears to me that the stereo pair is seen by
the bridge as a player group and the volume commands are ignored as a
result. Here is the relevant code in squeeze2cast.c beginning at line
584:
Code:
// check for volume at the receiver level, but only
record the change
if (type && p->Config.VolumeFeedback &&
!strcasecmp(type, "RECEIVER_STATUS")) {
double volume;
bool muted;
if (!p->Group && GetMediaVolume(data, 0,
, )) {
if (volume != -1 && !muted && volume !=
p->Volume) Volume = volume;
}
}
// now apply the volume change if any
if (Volume != -1 && fabs(Volume - p->Volume) >= 0.01 &&
now > p->VolumeStampTx + 1000) {
uint16_t VolFix = Volume * 100 + 0.5;
p->VolumeStampRx = now;
LOG_INFO("[%p]: Volume local change %u
(%0.4lf)", p, VolFix, Volume);
// candidate for busyraise/drop as it's using
cli
sq_notify(p->SqueezeHandle, p, SQ_VOLUME, NULL,
);
}
So, assuming that there is a valid reason to ignore group volume
changes, the question would seem to be "Is it possible to distinguish a
stereo pair from a player group and only ignore group volume changes?".

The 2.1.12.2 plugin is now working reliably for me in passthrough mode on Windows with every codec and bitrate I have tried. The only problem I have now is that the "Feedback to LMS" function of "Player volume management" does not function correctly with my Google Nest Minis the way it does with the CC Video devices. Adjusting the volume by using Google voice or Home commands, or the volume buttons on the device itself, changes the volume but does not cause those changes to be reflected in LMS.

Again, the Google volume change commands for the classic CC video devices are passed through correctly to LMS, just not for the Nest Minis.

It still happen when the 2 parts are Windows but separated computers, just very occasionally, compared to « all the time » when on the same computer. It happens on the same computer because timing is a bit different so there are more « chances » that all data of N+1 has been received when only a small part of N has played. When all N+1 has been sent, the server sends a FIN frame to close the connection but the client will only see it when it has emptied all buffered data. And that might take more than the 2 minutes of TIME_WAIT. The whole idea of throttling down server does not work due to the level of buffering made by the low layers. It work with Linux, but it can be different reasons and only a tcp capture would tell. Can be a different timing or a different reaction from the client to the RST frame. I think you tried a Windows server and a Linux bridge, so that excludes a different TIME_WAIT and a different stack reaction to the lack of clients FIN. I dont think a Linux client would send a FIN (even after receiving one) if the application has not called close() or shutdown() LMS 8.2 on Odroid-C4 - *SqueezeAMP!*, 5xRadio, 5xBoom, 2xDuet, 1xTouch, 1xSB3.

And the answer is (drum roll) ... exactly what happens when running both on Linux, or LMS on Windows and the plugin binary on Linux, i.e. everything works fine. Attached is the plugin log, which looks much like the previous one with the platforms reversed. So the only case that fails is running both LMS and the plugin binary on Windows. As you discovered previously, this holds true even if LMS and the binary are running on different Windows machines. I guess it makes sense in terms of filling buffers too quickly, etc. but then why doesn't it also happen when running both on the same non-Windows machine? Since I have trouble letting go of things, I'm going to do some further experimentation using mp3's that are not as compressed as these are (~162kbps VBR) to see how that affects the timing.

Well, in fact I misread the wireshark and the FIN request from the LMS is ACKnowledged by the bridge's stack but what was missing is the FIN from the bridge. It should be sent when closing the connection in return, but I don't because I don't see it fast enough.

In the failed case, although the bridge asnwers with an ACK to the last segment, the FIN never arrives and 120s later, LMS uses a RST. Now, my understanding is that I get kind of unlucky because what happens is that all is well received by the TCP layer, including the FIN, but for a graceful shutdown, the application layer should call close() so that the FIN,ACK can be sent in response. But because the application layer is blocked, it does not call close() and have a TIME_WAIT expiration instead. When finally the application layer (the streaming thread) runs, it's too late and recv() return <0 because of the RST and last segments in kernel buffers are lost.

I think Im close to understanding the issue: the last segment of the file is transmitted while the client is busy and not processing data (or much data) from the kernel layers. For LMS, all has been sent and from a TCP sender point of vue, all has been sent but the last segment is not acknowledged or received. It might just be because the client has no room in the kernel buffers, but meanwhile LMS asks the connection to be closed, maybe not with a shutdown but just a close and that last packet is lost.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)
Some additional information: I will double check tomorrow but it seems that all data is actually being sent (at least seen by wireshark on the sending end). What seems to happen is that either the FIN is not sent by the server or a packet is not acknowledged by the client but after that last received ACK, the server waits 2 minutes and sends a RST. LMS logs confirms that it considers everything has been sent. This is pretty mysterious to me. The difference between the failing and working case is that failure happens (or seems to) when packets are held for a long time by the TCP lower layers. Now, the whole timing of the sessions differs which means packet sizes differ as well, so it might not be a timing issue but rather a TCP window size of some sort, as a consequence of timing differences.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)
Apologies in advance if this has already been considered ... If the break is at 120 seconds (plus a tiny bit) then maybe the Windows TcpTimedWaitDelay is kicking in because of something that it thinks did not get acknowledged 2 minutes earlier. There is a registry key available to adjust from the default of 120 seconds https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/biztalk/technical-guides/settings-that-can-be-modified-to-improve-network-performance Changing that number (and rebooting) and then seeing if there is a direct correlation with the time when the problem happens would at least help focus things. Note - the key is not present by default.

Twenty-five years ago, I was a lead software developer on a very successful and fast growing commercial client-server product for monitoring and managing computer resources in large distributed systems. While it started out as an industry standard mainframe product used by numerous Fortune 100 companies worldwide, it began to grow rapidly after it was ported to Unix platforms such as HPUX, AIX and Solaris in the mid-90's, just as companies began to deploy them heavily as satellite workstations. The next logical step was to Windows servers, which were also picking up market share in the late 90's. The porting process was fairly straightforward for the most part and we rolled it out to much fanfare, gaining market share rapidly in the process. But before long we started receiving reports of strange and unexplained errors from customers who had deployed large numbers of Windows clients. I was the point man on this growing problem and was sent onsite to many world corporate headquarters to debug, gather logs and assure the tech staff that we were actively working on a solution. In the end, we tracked it down to the strange and non-standard behavior of the TCP/IP protocol stack (Winsock?) utilized by Windows. I have blocked (that's actually a pun on Windows' failure to implement standard non-blocking socket connections without a huge amount of overhead) out most of the details but one thing I do remember is those 10054 WSAECONNRESET errors and, in the end, our inability to resolve the issue. Consequently, over a period of a couple of years, we began to lose our largest clients and, in the end, we accepted a buyout from a competitor who killed the product after selling the Asian rights and source code to Hitachi Corp for $2 million USD. So, Philippe, by solving this problem you will not only make your plugin users happy, you might also help to heal the deeply buried wounds of a long-retired software developer.

Its is not a timeout that comes from the bridge to CC connection, but from the bridge to LMS and that also happens with UPNP devices. The CC timeout is a different thing and in fact you need a specific keep-alive (ping) for CC exactly for that reason and I have implemented it. I will re-read the logs, but AFAIR it was a 3 mins timeout. These are difficult to read due to the way the data pipeline works, Ill edit one log to show it. The fact that it does not happens on first track is also fully consistent with that hypothesis as well as the fact that underrun solves it. Underrun does the following: it waits until the CC/UPnP device reports track had stopped before querying LMS for the next track. This way, you always have a continuous flow of stream once a device starts playing a given track. The bridge gets the data from LMS, puts it in a multi-level pipeline and then forwards it to the CC/UPnP device when asked to. Bridge get as much as it can from LMS, fills its buffer and waits for player to consume data. As soon as a player pulls a bit from the pipeline, it is refilled by pulling some from LMS. In normal mode, the bridge queries LMS for track N+1 as soon as the track N as been entirely stored in internal buffers, and that includes what the CC has gobbled up. So, depending on format uses, you have a burst of data download from LMS of track N+1 pretty early while playing track N to fill up the pipeline, but the player will only query track N+1 after it has ended track N ((for CC and some UPnP) so you have a long period during which the streaming of track N+1 between LMS and the bridge stops. Then it resumes when the players queries N+1 and starts emptying the pipeline. The issue happens during that pause. Now, if the track N+1 is small enough, that does not happen as it is entirely in the pipeline during the initial data download burst. If you use flac, it does not happen because streaming track N takes much more time and there is no case where the CC has all the data it needs for an extended period of time. What Im totally failing to figure out is why, in some cases and only on Windows such idle period causes it to shut off the connection. I know that underrun solves that problem for CC but it is a disaster for UPnP when you need gapless and even in CC it might fairly increases the gap between tracks.

Hi Philippe, I had not used LMS for a while. My LMS server interface was not showing any of my Chromecast Audios or Squeezeboxes. I found that my remaining two Squeezeboxes were not powering on. I had another Squeezebox that I was not using so I got it working. It showed up on the LMS menu, but also, all of my Chromecasts showed up. Is there a way to make the Chromecast Audios visible without any Squeezeboxes connected to LMS? I am using LMS 8.3 on a CentOS 7 Linux system.
