OK, I think I have now become aware of this. After a session of extended
playback, I noticed a few pause/unpauses occurring. These were at
approximately 30 minute intervals this morning. Duration of pause is
probably a second or two. Radio log shows audio underrun. This is with
BBC Sounds, ar presumably 320k in the UK.

This may be what @christianhunt reports.

I’ll have to pay more attention, and perhaps compare against earlier
firmware.

Indeed. It's a mystery.  I've also tried to recreate the issue on the
international streams.

I did fix a problem with 'reported number of decoded samples available
in the AAC decoder'
(https://github.com/ralph-irving/squeezeos-squeezeplay/commit/a6ced8195144bbc64cfdc57def9c12634ed78bae)

Sorry, it's been a while since I looked at this.  Looks like it was back
in June based on the patch I posted.
Yes the radio actually pauses the stream, until the output buffer fills
a bit then resumes.  Occasionally, this pause/unpause happens several
times before the stream stabilizes, which could sound similar to
stuttering when you first start a stream.  I've not had it happen
afterwards.

The original AAC decoder in the official firmware does not tax the CPU
in the radio as much as the open source variant I'm using now.  It would
be good to test if a Touch exhibits the same issue with the BBC sounds
streams.  It has a higher powered CPU and more memory and I've not been
able to recreate the issue with a Touch and my test AAC stream.  I know
you don't have Touch or at least didn't, but perhaps someone with a
Touch in the UK could try it with the latest firmware.

Hi all. I am one of the two 'bug reporters' mentioned by
expectingtofly.

In case it's helpful, the 'stuttering' sounds to me like momentary
disruption to the audio stream - as if the audio is glitching or
skipping slightly. It's not regular, it's more random. It's a little
hard to describe but I hope that makes sense of it.

It doesn't happen all the time - it seems like the stream either has a
problem or doesn't.

It's not that it's stopping and needing to have 'play' pressed again,
and it's not resetting in the middle of a stream - which I would define
as either starting at the beginning of the stream again, or pausing for
a few seconds and then resuming.

There is no buffering shown on the radio, and the breaks or glitches in
audio are in bursts of very short amounts of time - much less than a
second, for example.

I should also say that I am in the US, so if high quality streams are
limited to the UK, I won't be getting them.

Forcing AAC transcoding to flac on the server under Settings->
Advanced-> File types (per expectingtofly's suggestion) resulted in no
stuttering - but as it doesn't happen reliably it's hard to be totally
confident that addressed it.

Just to reconfirm - 

LMS 8.3.0 via lmscommunity/logitechmediaserver docker,
Running on a server that seems to have plenty of memory and CPU power,
Playing on a Squeezebox Radio, latest community firmware - 8.0.1 r16907

Hope this helps, and happy to add any further info if useful.

yes, that's the what the BBC Sounds plugin tries to mitigate by
throttling how quickly the input buffer fills up so that radio gets a
chance to concentrate on decoding for a bit.  Which works on the whole.
However these 2 bug reports are reporting something different, prolonged
stuttering happening at any point, including live radio.   Which I can't
reproduce.  But the 2 reports are in  agreement about the same problem,
and they are both using the community firmware.  But as I say, it just
may be coincidence.

Interestingly, I remember when I implemented the throttling that the
problem was easily reproducible.  The odd thing now is,  with this
latest release of the firmware, I can't reproduce the problem at all,
even if I set the throttling to zero, effectively turning it off.
(Although i can see the impact the throttling has on the speed the input
buffer on the radio fills up)
So, the fact is they are getting the stuttering even with the throttling
suggests this isn't the same issue at all, and something else is
happening on their radio affecting the CPU time available for decoding. 

Also it all might be a coincidence that I got 2 reports at the same
time, and they may not be related, I mentioned it here in case it was
more widespread.

Right, I've just experienced this. Playback stops within a very short
time after the stream is started, and the stream needs to be started
again. It is not 'the norm', but has happened a few times, now I think
about it.

I wouldn't describe it as stuttering.

I suppose that it might become 'stuttering' if it were happening mid
stream, and the stream restarted by itself.

I'll test the patch in due course.

Could it simply be that 320kbs aac is "too much" for the Radio ? I think
I have remarked before, perhaps to @slartibartfast, that I find that the
UI seems to become a little sluggish when playing out aac streams, as
compared to other streams. In fact, at one point, I disabled native aac
playback for that reason.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Community Firmware for Squeezebox Radio/Touch/Controller and LMS 8

2022-11-22 Thread ralphy


I implemented the AAC decoder for squeezeplay and later the community
firmware as Logitech never released the code as they used the closed
source fdk-aac library in the official firmware.

I have spent some time investigating this issue but had to setup a local
server that streams AAC 320Kbps at 48KHz as unfortunately the high rate
BBC streams aren't available outside the UK.

What's happening is the aac decoder can't push enough decoded PCM data
to the output buffer at the start of the high rate streams and jive_alsa
throws an underrun error.

So far I have been able to mitigate this problem using this patch to
Playback.lua on the radio. This change stopped the stuttering about 95%
of the time with my test stream.


Code:

The BBC Sounds Stream throttling interval works around the problem but
might also help find proper fix in the firmware, however the stuttering
doesn't happen with the 96Kbps streams.

Any help would be appreciated.

I should also add,  I can't reproduce the problem either.  I also have 2
radios on the latest firmware.   But the 2 bug reports were very
similar, including how they are set up server side.   I suspect/guess
the data is being available to the radios more readily in their setup
and for some reason the radio is not finding an opportunity to decode
from the input to the output buffer, causing the stuttering.  I'll see
if they are willing/able to get some debug information from the
radio

I have two Radios running with the latest community firmware, and am a
regular/prolific user of BBC Sounds. I have not noted any instances of
audio stuttering on either Radio. But I’ll keep an ear open.

Perhaps worth noting that I do use the ‘native’ playback option, so any
issue with the AAC decoding changes ought to show up.

I have had a couple of bugs raised on the BBC Sounds Plugin repository
relating to audio stuttering :
https://github.com/expectingtofly/LMS_BBC_Sounds_Plugin/issues/134

Both reports are using Squeezebox radio's with the community firmware.  
The BBC Streams are AAC 320kbs@48000, so quite high bitrate.
They have provided server logs to me that shows that there are no issues
getting audio data out server side (in fact the opposite is true).  So
it appears the problem is in the audio decoding on the radio.

As I have had 2 reports of this problem, I wonder if this has anything
to do with the AAC decoding changes in the new version of the firmware?

I've been running the firmware on my touch for a month and have not

I'd suggest you first perform a factory reset on the touch.

The encoder support is used to create AAC content and the firmware only
decodes AAC streams/files, so it was never used.
Removing it frees a bit of memory which is tight on the controller and
radio.

The build failure mitigation details have been removed from the change
log.  Unless you are building the firmware, it's irrelevant.

Update Fraunhofer FDK AAC Codec Library v2.0.3 and remove
encoder support.

Due to my lack of technical knowledge, I am interpreting the above as it
was updated and then removed.  Of course, that conclusion does not any
make sense.


"Codec" stands for "code/decode". I assume the first part was removed: 
you can't encode in AAC any more, but you can still decode.

I think not. The cron table is, I think, stored in the ‘etc’ hierarchy,
which is left untouched by firmware updates. And I think it takes a
factory reset to wipe that.

LMS is not a firmware, so I'm not sure what you mean by "renamed"?

First let me say I have been running community firmware and it is
working fine! So thanks for the effort!

The question, is the project for the firmware setup differently than lms
such that it had to renamed community firmware?

What was the last official firmware for the touch and radio?

It was probably just coincidence then, but when I stopped LMS and
rebooted the machine running it and also rebooted the Touch I was trying
to install the new firmware on I got a notification right after.

Apparently my post was removed somehow so let's try again.

I am quite new to LMS and am trying to install the community firmware
but my player is not seeing it. I am running LMS 8.3.0 - 66147463 and
have installed the plugin and then went to the settings to to enable the
plugin. I have changed player.firmware to debug but I do not see my
player checking for an update. 

In LMS I have update checking enabled. Do I just need to wait longer? Is
there a way to force it to check for updates? The button in LMS to check
does not appear to trigger a check from the player. Maybe I can do it
via ssh?

Thanks in advance!

2022-09-28 Thread Syco54645


So I am very new to LMS and squeezebox in general but am unable to see
the community firmware update. I installed the plugin and went to the
plugin settings to enable it after install. I changed player.firmware to
debug but I do not see the radio checking for it. The first post
mentions that we need to have check for update enabled, where is that
setting? Maybe that is my issue.

Also the first post mentions waiting 24 hours as the default setting,
can that setting be changed?

Thank you in advance!

Thanks for the instant feedback.
To my surprise I was just able install the 8.0.1_r16862 on 1 of my 4
devices (a Squeezebox radio). Only this single device has just offered
the update splash screen – after 2 days, despite the ongoing LMS
checksum error, and while I have changed nothing in between. I will to
try to reproduce this on other my other 3 devices while investigating a
litte bit more why the update process suddenly worked.

Hi!
Long-time lurker here; I had to factory reset my Touch, so I took the
opportunity to switch to this firmware, and it just works perfectly,
thanks a lot!

I was wondering about the busybox version in it, would it be possible to
build it with ntp support, and also the kernel with the iptables modules
in it?
Thanks.

It seems to be an issue with the update. I got a new radio with the
update installed. It had the problem from the beginning. After updating
the other three radios to the community firmware, there is only one
Radio left without the issue. It is the only one with an alarm
activated. It seems not like a problem that will disappear. First thing
in the bathroom in the morning is reconnecting the radio. This works
simply by choosing the right network. It is not necessary to restart the
device. The WiFi symbol is always red. One radio has a blue WiFi symbol
after turning it on in the morning. Here the software does not work
properly and a reboot is necessary. After the reboot the device finds
the network at once and without reconnection.

My SB Touch with Comuntity firmware works without any such issues.

If you were to restart all your Radios, would you get the problem
"straight away" ? Or is it something that emerges after a few days, or
perhaps a couple of weeks ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Community Firmware for Squeezebox Radio/Touch/Controller and LMS 8

2022-01-12 Thread Paytheprice


Dear all,

I would like to come back to my thread.

I am running LMS 8.2 on a PiCorePlayer. I updated my four radios to
Firmware 8.0.1-r16867. I have a similar problem as descibed before. My
WiFi turns off during the night and turns on in the early morning again.
Two of my radios do not reconnect to the WiFi automatically. I have to
search my network, select it and reconnect. This works fine, but the two
other radios and the Touch do not have this issue. Is there a way to fix
this? If not, I will leave my WiFi running during the nighttime.

As noticed before, just two of four radios seem to be affected. And it
just happens if WiFi was turned off during the night. The third one did
loose connection today and showed the blue WiFi icon while it was not
connedted. Here a restart was necessary. 

Everything else works fine. Thanks for developing the Community Firmware
but there seems to be a WiFi bug. I will leave the WiFi online through
this night and watch the situation tomorrow.

Nope. Perhaps it's a PCP idiosyncrasy. The warning has been there for
years, even after applying the old Version Comparison Fix patch. Anyhoo,
I shall focus not on that but on enjoying the superior AAC sound :D!

Thanks, that is helpful. My Radio on 7.7.3-r16676 seems to be playing
fine with my 8.2 LMS, but perhaps there are things I am not aware of
that would work better, or that I am missing, based on what you wrote

If you are happy with your Radio as it is then no need to update. On the
other hand you can always go back to the official firmware after
updating to the community firmware.

I'm using a Radio. I recall having a bass drop-out issue a few years
ago; I think I resolved it with a 3rd party app called AlsaBufferSize.
Is that the same issue?

In any case, it sounds like this firmware is aimed more at fixing issues
for people than at offering new functionality. Let me know if I'm wrong.

Yes , that was the right way. I really succeeded in contacting
bluegaspode, and however he doesn´t use the controller anymore he was so
kind to change the version maximum - everything works fine.

Maybe contact Bluegaspode to see if he can change the maximum version to
8.*. At the moment it is 7.*. If you can find the applet file you might
be able to edit the file yourself. I have installed applets manually
before but can't remember how I did it. It will be in the forum

The firmware installed and run without problems on all my devices.
However I miss one item on the controllers: I had the possibility to

After the factory reset the possibility has vanished nor can I find the

Dear all,
community firmware is working great. I noticed one issue yesterday when
setting up the alarm clocks the first time.
Configuration/setup:
- SB Radio, community firmware 8.0.1 r16867
- Radio timezone set to GMT+1
- Alarm clock setup at 6:00 in the display

-> the alarm rings at 7:00. So it seems that somehow the time comparison
is not working correctly...

I couldnt find anything suitable in the web... Can somebody help?

I am glad we could save your Christmas!  

Thanks to Gary for adding the important bit I forgot to mention.  

If you want 5 ghz WiFi connection, a wifi to Ethernet bridge work work,
such as tplink Wr902 travel router.

Dear Paul, dear Gary,

Thank you very much for your response! It was the network connection!!
Checking for networks with a wifi Analyzer app, I got somehow shocked,
as there were 25-30 overlapping access point in my tiny neighbourhood (3
years ago about 10). Interfearing channels were the issue.
Unfortunatelly the radio does not provide 5ghz, so ethernet was the way
to go.
Thank you again for getting me on the right rack - you saved my day and

And note that simply plugging in ethernet does not automatically switch
the radio to ethernet. You need to go into the "networking" menu on the
Radio.

Try connecting using Ethernet to see if problem goes away.  If yes, then
you might have wifi network issues.

As for my reported problem, it happened two times, but it has not
occurred recently.

Sorry for missleading you :-(
After about a day the radios disconnected from LMS 8.1.2 as well.
So no solution yet and unfortunatelly no music...

Would love if someone with more knowledge could dig into this...
Thanks and regards,

Hello,

Maybe in line with some others here I experienced issues with both of my
radios connected to LMS 8.2 (docker communityserver).
Both radio firmwares 8.0.1 r16867 and 8.0.1 r16862 in combination with
LMS 8.2 showed the same issues P Nelson described:
- Message on display "cannot connect to communityserver"
- Wifi icon is blue. Radios are connected to Wifi network but not to LMS
- All attempts to connect LMS fail.
- Rebooting the radio solves connection issue for about 1 hour, then
diconnection again.
- Rolling back the Radio firmware does not change the behavior.
Rolling back from LMS 8.2 to LMS 8.1.2 seems to have solved the issue.
The radios work since then (I will post if this changes)

Unfortunatelly I am too much an amateur to be able to provide logs :-(

I hope this observation can help to solve the issue. If further
information is needed I am open to help (I will need some advice here
and there :-))

Regards,
Martin

Some of them I was able to recover and they are listed from within the
EDO app on the touch.

Please move further discussions of EDO to that 'thread'

community firmware doesn't change the need for EDO, if one needs EDO

Will these still be needed / available after the update?

The same is the Radio would not automatically reconnect after a router
reboot.  Different is that for me repair network did not work.

Currently, the Radio says memory is 53% free.  My set-up is very basic,
except for Community Firmware it is stock, so I do not know what would
take up memory in the Radio.  If it happens again, I will look to see
what is available memory.

I have encountered something similar, but perhaps not identical.

See issue: https://github.com/ralph-irving/squeezeos/issues/11

In this case, it appears to be triggered by “perhaps high” overall
memory usage in the Radio.
I am presently monitoring that, to see if any conclusion can be drawn.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Community Firmware for Squeezebox Radio/Touch/Controller and LMS 8

2021-11-18 Thread P Nelson


At my office, the WiFi router was turned off for several days while I
was away.  After turning the router back on, the SB Radio would not
reconnect to my WiFi network.  Attempts to use repair network failed. 
Attempts to select and connect to the WiFi network failed.   I rebooted
the radio.  It did not automatically reconnect.  I had to select the
WiFi network and re-enter the password.  It then worked.  Running
firmware 8.0.1-r16867.  Most of the time I use the mysb.com server.

I have noticed unpredictable behavior trying to reconnect to the WiFi
network.  Not sure if I could recreate the problem.  If there are logs
that could help, let me know.
