Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS on multi-homed hosts

2021-02-07 Thread gordonb3


This has always worked for me to restrict the rather `noisy` Squeezebox
devices to a dedicated subnet (on Wifi/LAN bridge interface `br1`):


player_if=$(ip route show dev br1 | awk '{print $7}')
LMS_OPTS="--playeraddr ${player_if}"


This restricts port 9090. You can do the same with the command line
interface by adding `--cliaddr ${player_if}` (or --cliport 0 to disable
it completely) and the HTTP GUI by adding `--httpaddr ${player_if}`

Your version means that I have to enable filterHosts as well, is that
the intention? I can't remember if filterHosts is on by default or not.


Yes, it means that IF you had filterHosts enabled and the IP was in the 
isAllowedHosts list, that check would be skipped.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Player library views and random mix preferences interaction?

2021-02-07 Thread epoch1970

I remember seeing a python utility and browsing the 1/3-party software
sub forum I discovered one written in Go. I can’t tell you more I’m
afraid.

These utilities would all use the server’s CLI on port 9090 I assume. So
the server could be installed as a container or on a host just as well.
However, unless you’re comfortable working with containers I don’t see
the advantage compared to using an inexpensive and dedicated platform
like a Pi.

Might be a bug somewhere but the intention is that Custom Clock applet
should only request styles via Custom Clock Helper if it’s installed. If
it isn’t installed it’s supposed to get the styles directly from
http://erland.github.io/squeezebox-customclock/clockstyles7.json
However, there might be a bug somewhere so this isn’t working properly
or alternatively your Radio doesn’t have access to Internet. Should be
some error message in the log on the Radio that indicate what happens
but I don’t remember if there is an easy way to view the Radio log
without login via ssh.

Installing Custom Clock Helper means that the Custom Clock applet will
request styles via the helper plugin.

All tough, I have in the past, seen a similar reluctance for bothe the
Plugin and Server update notification to appera on the LMS Home gui
:(:confused:

Nothing to really sweat about, with the Plugin Update I always got a

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS on multi-homed hosts

2021-02-07 Thread troffasky


I have come up with a patch for this to get the CLI plugin to take
allowedHosts in to account.


Code:


  # diff -u Plugin.pm /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Plugin/CLI/Plugin.pm
  --- Plugin.pm   2021-02-07 15:16:17.312289873 +
  +++ /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Plugin/CLI/Plugin.pm  2021-02-07 15:21:54.397092988 
+
  @@ -243,7 +243,7 @@
  my $tmpaddr = inet_ntoa($client_socket->peeraddr);
  
  # Check allowed hosts
  -   if ( !Slim::Utils::Network::ip_is_host($tmpaddr)
  +   if ( !Slim::Utils::Network::ip_is_host($tmpaddr) && 
!Slim::Utils::Network::isAllowedHost($tmpaddr)
  && $prefsServer->get('protectSettings') && !$prefsServer->get('authorize')
  && ( Slim::Utils::Network::ip_is_gateway($tmpaddr) || 
Slim::Utils::Network::ip_on_different_network($tmpaddr) )
  ) {
  



So long as the CLI client is in the allowedHosts list, it should be
accepted. This was literally my first attempt at patching this and it
seems to have worked. I've just noticed that comment, "Check allowed
hosts".did this code used to have a check in here for this???

Is this bug already solved in other branches? Can't find it in the Git

I use squeezy, a Perl front end for the LMS CLI. It works fine for me
and it has a concept of player groups, or classes if you prefer, so you
can address a group of players in one go, e.g. squeezy —group 1 —power ?
(approximate syntax)
I use this to reset players groups in the server every morning. The
squeezy groups definitions serve as baseline and the LMS groups are
players found alive among the squeezy groups.

I have rolled the squeezy calls into a truly abominable bash (what was I
thinking!) script which gets called via cron. For some rare calls I use
netcat to communicate with the CLI, if I wasn’t lazy I would have had
extended squeezy itself and add some macros.

There are other utilities similar to squeezy.

Yes, stick it on the list of things that don't make any difference :-) 

Every LMS service is already listening on * anyway:

cliaddr unset:

cliaddr set

Code:


  # lsof -i -n | grep LISTEN | grep squeez

  squeezebo   21250 squeezeboxserver   26u  IPv4 998654625  0t0  TCP *:9000

cliaddr is not compared to anything in Plugin/CLI/Plugin.pm so doesn't
appear to be regarded in terms of access control. 
I modified Plugin/CLI/Plugin.pm to print cliaddr as well as listenerport
so I can be absolutely sure it was taking notice of the cliaddr
parameter [was unneccesary in the end because lsof -i tells what is
happening]:

Out of interest what are you using to send commands to Lms, CLI? It's
been years since last time I tried to do some automation and it could be
now useful with buggy Radio alarm clock (when in stereo pair) is there
anywhere list of available commands? How to best approach it? I was
thinking of tasker or similar on android but also have RPi running 24/7
which would probably be better.. Thanks

Tidal Masters are encoded with MQA, which requires a licence to decode
which LMS doesn't have.  However, playing a Masters recording on non-MQA
equipment will actually give you less quality than the non Masters
version due to the encoding process that's been applied - the bit that
non-MQA systems can read has been processed to work with the MQA
encoding, which we can't read.  So, the best you get from tidal with LMS
is the HiFi (CD quality) non-Masters recordings.  If you want > cd
quality, you need to look elsewhere.

Michael not only clarified but he 'fixed the problem'
(https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/commit/d317f804d6972c3454eb4d9d98203937d1a3d158).
Now your preference in the Random Mix page overrides the virtual library
the player might be in.
Yay no more empty random playlists!
Much appreciated, thanks.
