[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS V7.7.6 issue

2020-02-23 Thread DanB


Hi all.  I am suddenly having a problem communicating to my Squeezebox
Classic via Port 9000.  My Squeezebox states this on the screen
"Connecting to Server" but the status never goes to the Now Playing
status.  This is a recent problem.  I've used this Squeezebox for a
number of years.

I am running Windows 10 OS Version 1909.  I recently added several
software programs relating to music (EAC, a CD ripping program and
Foobar2000, a iTunes like package).  That was when my problem began. 
Those programs have been uninstalled and there is no evidence that there
are bits remaining after the uninstall.

My diagnostics page on the Logitech Media Server app indicates these
issues:
Port 3483 (slimproto): Failed
Port 9000 (HTTP): Failed
Port 9090 (CLI): Failed

I ran a CMD command (netstat -ab) to check what's application is using
these ports, to confirm where there might be a conflict and the
Squeezebox appears to be the only device using.

It could just be that the hardware has finally failed.  I am writing
hoping that someone out there has some experience with this and can give
me some advice for how to solve, or realize that I need to find another
Squeezebox or alternative solution.

Thank you all, Dan

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Creating playlists from cue files in LMS 7.9.2

2020-02-23 Thread chopinhauer


The cue sheets are kept in the same folder as the large flac file. So
the folder contains 3 things; 1. The flac file, say 300mb; 2. the cue
sheet (tiny file size) and 3. a jpg, with the album cover. Using the web
gui on my computer, with dual panes, the left showing the folder, the
right showing the playlist, whenever I add a single track to the
playlist it shows up as the single track name, but the length of the
track is the whole album. So my playlist consists of different single
track names, but are each actually the whole album.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Seeking advice on playing LMS directly from my computer (no squeezebox)

2020-02-23 Thread GeeJay

I used to have 3-4 squeezeboxes in various rooms, but slowly began
downsizing as I changed out other audio components.  I'm now down to one
Touch, which is still working fine, and which I still use when I want to
play local files.  Simply said, there is no software that does a better
job of providing customized dynamic playlists based on my parameters
than LMS + Erland's suite of plug-ins.  

I've gone to almost exclusively Denon/Marantz equipment, and distribute
music throughout the house through HEOS.  It works well with my Touch,
which has always been used solely to play music from my personal digital
collection (I stream SiriusXM and Amazon UltraHD, but I use HEOS for
that, not LMS).  

One of my recent upgrades has been an addition of a listening room in my
house, where I've bought a Marantz ND8006 CD player and network
streamer.  The ND8006 has a USB-B input meant for a direct connection to
a computer.  I run LMS on a 2012 Mac Mini running on Mac OSX Yosemite. 
For several years I've not seen a need to upgrade from LMS version
7.9.0.  It works great, so I've not wanted to fool with it.

I'd like to mothball the Touch before it eventually dies.  I installed
SqueezePlay on my Mac years ago, but it was a beta back then (may still
be) and I suspect there are better plug-ins available.  It would be nice
to have something that could handle hi-res files, since the Marantz DAC
and the other Denon/Marantz elements of my multi-room system can handle
it, but that's a nice-to-have vs. a have-to-have.  The one thing that
cannot change is my ability to use "Erland's Essentials": TrackStat,
CustomScan, CustomSkip, etc., so if I need to update to later, equally
stable version of LMS, so be it.

Anyone have any thoughts on best way to proceed?



I’m down to one SB Touch. Mac Mini as a server (OS X Yosemite).  iPeng
is my controller of choice.  LMS 7.9.0. Erland’s plug ins are what keep
me in the ecosystem.

Could anyone help me resolve why I can't get m4a files playing on my

because the Touch supports aac natively, and the Transporter doesn't. My
conversion settings seem to me to be set up ok, to use faad, but it's
not working.

I'm running LMS 7.9.2 - 1578996832 on an old RPi Squeezeplug setup

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] DSP of Quboz Streams via SOX + UPNP Bridge (for KEF LS50W)

2020-02-23 Thread bpa


squeezing wrote:

PLAY AROUND USING LOGGING OF PLAYER.SOURCE SET TO INFO AND SEE WHAT THE
CREATED COMMAND LOOKS LIKE - TRY DIFFERENT CONF SETTINGS. MUST RESTART
FOR CONF FILE CHANGES TO TAKE EFFECT.
Look at the real example in convert.conf and understand them fully.

# F means input comes from a file (i.e. LMS will subsituted $FILE$ for
the file name - the #F" tells LMS the created command line after
substitution will contain a local file name)
# I means input comes from stdin to the trancoder command (stdin from
LMS processing source as a byte stream i.e. LMS will substitute "-" for
$FILE$ in the command line and also provide the data)   
# R means input comes from remote  (i.e. LMS will substitute $URL$
possibly $FILE$ for the remote URL)   

So the capabilities tell LMS, the command created after subsitution will
be valid & work (i.e. a viable transcoding).  The options tell LMS what
to substitute to build the appropriate command.

For example,
faad can process input file or stdin but not remote URL so anyt faad
command cannot have a "R"

so faad can be used to play MP4 files but not 


The #T means a byte offset so the command created after substitution
will be able to skip to start time/byte.  This usually means one of the
follow have to be in the command line. 

Code:


  # %o - stream start byte offset
  # 
  # %S - stream samples start offset (not yet implemented)
  # %s - stream seconds start offset
  # %t - stream time (m:ss) start offset
  # %U - stream samples end offset (not yet implemented)
  # %u - stream seconds end offset
  # %v - stream time (m:ss) end offset
  # %w - stream seconds duration

What is wrong with the documentation at the start of convert.conf  file
?
At the start of the convert.conf file - all settings/formats are
detailed.

Code:


  #
  # Capabilities
  # I - can transcode from stdin
  # F - can transcode from a named file
  # R - can transcode from a remote URL (URL types unspecified)
  # 
  # O - can seek to a byte offset in the source stream (not yet implemented)
  # T - can seek to a start time offset
  # U - can seek to start time offset and finish at end time offset
  #
  # D - can downsample
  # B - can limit bitrate

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] DSP of Quboz Streams via SOX + UPNP Bridge (for KEF LS50W)

2020-02-23 Thread squeezing

Hello colleagues,

I am currently trying to set up a room correction via DSP in the LMS
server via SOX and need some help.
Setup:

- Source: FLAC Streams from Quboz or Tidel (16bit / 44.1 KHz - 24bit /
  192Khz)
- Logitech Media Server version: 7.9.2
- UPNP DLNA Bridge
- KEF LS50 Wireless (active speakers with UPNP renderer)
  

UPNP DLNA Bridge setup for LS50W without transcoding.
I have tried to write a custom-convert.conf for the equalizing of the
streams for the LS50W with this code (MAC-ID is only sample):


Code:


  flc flc * 00:00:00:00:00:00
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -q -t wav - -t flac -C 0 -b 
24 - gain -1 rate -v -I -b 98 88200 equalizer 200 0.33q -10
  



But this doesn’t work.
First of all, I recognized, that it is not possible to do special rules
in the custom-converter.conf for devices communicating via UPNP DLNA
Bridge.
This seems to be caused by the architecture of this plugin.
Maybe someone has experience how to set up transcoding rules for UPNP
devices.

The documentation of the convert.conf is really bad - so I had done some
trial and error with help of Google.


So this is the current state:

Code:


  flc flc * *
# IR
[flac] -cs - - | [sox] -q -t flac - -t flac - equalizer 312 1.237q -5.8 
equalizer 201 2q 6 equalizer 229 5q -9.9 
  



I can only define rule for all devices which with effect for UPNP
devices and must then setup rules for all the other boxes in my
network.

*So it works! - DPS for Quboz and Tidal streams up to 24/192 - great
stuff!*:cool:

But there are some questions - maybe someone can answer a few of them:

- Is there a better documentation for the convert.conf?
- What does "# IR" stand for?
- How to convert all formats (e.g. mp3) in that way, that the LS50
Wireless receives this equalized flac stream?
- Is there a way to define rules for UPNP devices in the convert.conf?
- Is there any improvement in the SOX command I use?
