Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS and Apple M1 Mac

2020-12-21 Thread Michael Herger

Is there any plan to bring out LMS version that will run natively on M1
Big Sur ? What is the rough time schedule ?


No plan so far. As Apple had announced the end of scripting on macOS a 
while back, I was actually surprised to see Perl was still there on 
these new machines... The pref pane probably would need a full rewrite 
to make it compile for M1. It's just a lot of work for not too many users.


Getting native support certainly isn't a priority, I'm sorry to say.


I just got new M1 Mac Mini and now I have to figure out which version of
LMS should I install ... I would prefer to wait for a stable LMS version


Go with 8.1. I wanted to declare it stable and release earlier this 
month, but there's always one more thing :-).



which is natively running on M1 than to install version that runs on
emulation. The question is though: how long will I have to wait

I think we're in good company, using the emulation.

Can't really answer that because I don't run a Pi myself (or any other
hardware running from some type of memory card). I happen to run a home
automation system on my LMS host as well though and have seen many
issues raised on that system's users forum that were related to SD card
failure on Pis. The ones that were lucky (in some sense) reported that
recorded information would get lost between reboots, but others would
simply loose everything on account of database corruption.

As said, Samsung cards are mentioned to have the highest rate of failure
in this type of usage. Really the only thing I can advice in this matter
is to make backups.

I've been running LMS on a vintage Mini (2012) for many years now. It
works. About the "autostart": just tell LMS *not* to autostart and then
put a plain text file named *Squeezebox.plist* in
-~/Library/LaunchAgents - (create folder if it doesn't exist) with this
content (replace YOURSHORTUSERNAME):


Code:



Label
Squeezebox
RunAtLoad

Program

/Library/PreferencePanes/Squeezebox.prefPane/Contents/server/slimserver.pl
ProgramArguments


/Library/PreferencePanes/Squeezebox.prefPane/Contents/server/slimserver.pl
--nomysqueezebox

WorkingDirectory

/Library/PreferencePanes/Squeezebox.prefPane/Contents/server

  



Works for me (7.9 on 10.15). Note: the ---nomysqueezebox - flag tells
LMS to start with the mysqueezebox.com or mysb.com services disabled.
Delete that if you need them.

If you're running a Windows machine for other purposes, I'm sure you can
likely make LMS run just fine.  However, if you just want a simple LMS
box, small, low power consumption, incredibly reliable, regularly
community maintained etc., then I'm not why you'd look past running LMS
on picoreplayer.  The core team is brilliant, the hardware costs next to
nothing and everything just works.

I've got 7 Pi's running pcp, one of those running my LMS and also
serving a Boom and a Transporter.  Just love it.

2020-12-21 Thread Guy Stalnaker
gordonb3,

I typically schedule a full rescan each night at 2am. Is this not advised?
Also, which SD cards are considered best when they are the primary
"partition" for an operating system and a running server (like piCorePlayer
and LMS)?

I haven't changed that SD card in a LONG time (since it had to shift from
4Gb to 8Gb). As I said, it's stable for many weeks. Then one morning I'll
get up and LMS no longer responds. Go to piCorePlayer UI and check and
there's the DB error again. I just checked the forum and I see no post I
made about DB issues, so I think I may have put it on the Developer Site as
a bug.

Thanks

LMS runs just fine on win10. If you have a machine that's on all the
time anyway why add something else to maintain. As to the windows
updates, you can specify what time of day the machine will restart an
you can set LMS to auto start either when the machine starts or initial
logon (I prefer the machine start which implements LMS as a service).

That, and of course the fact that a machine capable of running Windows
10 24/7 consumes more power than would be required or even desirable for
a home installation.

If you haven't used Win10 before, I find the automatic updates which
reboots the PC at strange or inconvenient times may not be the best
chocie for a 24/7 LMS server.

A Pi4 based system gives good performance, easy to update and also easy
to leave alone for months at a time until you have to update usually due
to an external change. 
Plex will also run on Pi - don't know about performance concerns when
both LMS & Plex are running.

Yup, everything will be dependent on the speed of your LMS media.  Try
running h4testw (or similar) against the old drive, out of interest.  It
might just be slower, or it might be more fundamentally broken.

A decent USB 3 drive on the Pi 4 runs like a rocket.  I saw a 4-fold
improvement moving from Pi 3B+ to Pi 4, partly from the faster
processor, but also hugely from the faster USB 3 port.

But I now prefer a rPi4B, with attached USB drive, running

it is (in a cabinet attached to his router).

If you mean go to park, no. That has been deliberately disabled because
the Linux OS also runs from the disk and would cause the it to age
rapidly due to the frequency of disk (un)park. The on-disk logic if I
remember correctly may however lower the rotation speed when the disk is
not in use.

2020-12-21 Thread Guy Stalnaker
Osamede,

Check out using a Raspberry Pi and piCorePlayer (google both). I have two.
One in my bedroom as a headless player (output via 1/8" jack to speaker)
and a second in my living room that is both player (output via digital out
to stereo, HiFiBerry Digi+ addon card, google HiFiBerry for that) and
server, connected to my XyZel NAS where the files are. HiFiBerry sell
complete systems, including case/power supply. They are very compact so no
need to find room for a desktop tower, etc.

It is stable for months at a time (though there are times, like this very
morning, where I have to delete LMS prefs/cache and rebuild the library
after unrecoverable LMS DB errors that no one on this Forum can help with).

There are a lot of people who have moved in this direction as their aging
SqueezeBox hardware died (as I did when my SqueezeBox Classic stopped
working).

Regards.

I have no experience of Mac OS but have used LMS on Windows for some
years now with good experience and specifically Windows 10 for the last
year. I suspect that whatever OS is used you will not be trouble-free -

I found what is said to a fairly quiet compact computer (Lenovo M73) on
the used market, with Windows 10 on it. Am wondering if people have
found it more stable to run LMS on Windows 10 than Mac OS? Or would it
be better to wipe the Windows and use a Linux OS?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Odd bug? Playlist display one behind on playing song (8.0.0)

Nothing online and the storage is also local to the server (SATA). Guess
it might qualify as a slow server though...


Would the disk potentially spin down when listening to long tracks?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Mac OS X and IO::Socket::SSL:

2020-12-21 Thread the_arm


You're right - in case anyone finds this thread later, now that I think
about it I didn't have questions during "make install" either, it was
during the perl commands as well. I do remember that there was one
question that didn't have a default y/n, but now I'm not sure which way
I answered it. I would have guessed "yes", but it sounds like that
wasn't successful for you.

In any case, I'm glad that you were able to get it installed!

...and thanks for the youtube link! Now I've got something new to listen
to today.

cheers,

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Updating LMS package on Synology to v 8.0? Is it safe?

2020-12-21 Thread SlimPvC


Since Synology, unfortunately, stopped their support for the Logitech
Media Server on their NAS (like my DS218+), I'm considering to upgrade
the package to the version found here: 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lmsupdate/files/DSM6.x/

But I'm hesitant to upload this package: how can I roll back to the
existing package is anything fails? I see no option to backup / export
the original 7.9.2.package (Hyper Backup backup the data folders,
application but not the packages?). Since Synology removed the package
from the Beta section I will probably not be able to install it again...


So I have two questions:

- is it safe to simply upload the 8.0.0 x86_64 package to the Synology
NAS; will it overwrite the existing package or create a new one?
- what's the best way to 'roll-back' (is there a way to export or backup
a single package)?

Hope anyone can be of help.. 

Thanks in advance, 
Peter

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] mappings in docker container are all empty?

2020-12-21 Thread SlimPvC


I am currently trying to get the lms docker container running on my
Synology DS218+, following the setup on
https://hub.docker.com/r/lmscommunity/logitechmediaserver. 
There's one thing I cannot get to work: the mappings to the media
files... (minor detail, duh.. :-) )
I need two mappings, one to the /Volume1/Music (shared folder with the
music files), and another to /Volume1/homes/[myname]/Drive/New Music
(where I store all the incoming files that are not yet moved to music).

The /media folder is visible in the settings page, but it does not seem
to find any music in the subdirectories. So the database remains empty.

Has anyone managed to get the docker container, successfully running? If
so, any tips on configuring the music folder?

The "fix" and above comment were only related to really old ReadyNAS 
devices, running Raidiator v4 or similar. They were still running Perl 
5.8. If you're on something more recent, then you should be fine.

Hello Mike,

Yes, it is working fine until now!
I did not upgrade to the next proposed nightly 8.0.1 - 1607593012
because I was a bit scared by the Release Note _below_:

2020-12-04
• Fix regex to match the client's user agent string. We must NOT match
"jivelite". And make sure we always return a version string, or the

I had no questions to answer during the "make install" process

but during 


Code:

sudo /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::SSLeay'



I foolishly typed "y" instead of "n" 

and the install was rejected.

I logged in again from my Windows Desktop using Putty and reran the
command, with "n".

Same result, so I typed in the "force commands " and rebooted.

Success :):)

ronnie

It appears that something went wrong in the "make" proccess.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Odd bug? Playlist display one behind on playing song (8.0.0)

2020-12-21 Thread Michael Herger

Odd bug, as I'm currently unable to reproduce it, but maybe it rings
some bells with someone.


It's something we've seen reported before. But I've never been able to 
reproduce. I think some assumptions were around either online music 
services (failed to load a track), or a disk which took too long to 
respond before LMS thought something was wrong.


So: are you using any online music service? Are online tracks part of 
the playlist when this happens? Or are you using a (slow) external disk 
on a relatively slow server?

I had the LMS folder on an USB stick and now I changed this stick. The
old one allowed only 100MB/s read and 30MB/s write and the new one
allowes 300 MB/s read and 100 MB/s write. The scan of the whole library
is much faster now and I have no slowing down any more. Also the display
of the artists is much faster now in Material skin.
So I think the strange slowliness has something to do with the old
stick.

Lovely word, mooching. I immediately thought of the song about Minnie,

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Odd bug? Playlist display one behind on playing song (8.0.0)

2020-12-21 Thread gordonb3


Odd bug, as I'm currently unable to reproduce it, but maybe it rings
some bells with someone.

Last night I used the search function to locate Christmas songs (it's
the season) in my library and hit `play`. Scanning the list of mostly
pretty horrible songs I started adding more songs and then when the
Touch started playing the next song I noticed that the display still
showed the first song from the list. Some kind of freeze maybe? But then
when it started playing the third song the display switched to showing
the second song from the list. It seems like two different counters are
used, where one is 0-based and the other 1-based.
