My preference is for genuine random, but limited to unique numbers. In
other words, random without repeats, until random play is reset or all
available tracks have been played. That's the current approach, isn't
it?

I prefer to have occasional coincidences, like two tracks in a row by
the same artist, or two different versions of the same song. After all,
when cards are properly shuffled, it still happens on very rare
occasions that a player will be dealt a royal flush or some other
winning hand.

If truly random play were left running indefinitely, eventually (not
necessarily in the lifetime of anybody now alive) a Cliff Richard album
would play all the way through, in the correct order.

So my plea is, Let Random be Random!



LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS. Mostly virtual players,
occasionally with SB Radio, Boom or Classic.

I see. Maybe you should insert a first cron job to switch squeezelite
off before. It can be done with a JSON rpc command sent via whet.

Sorry. I am probably being unclear.

If I use the "Power Button" on the LMS web interface for the squeezelite
player, the plugin works.

However, I have a cron job setup to restart LMS every night. That is
when the volume goes back to about halfway.


"-Then you could check, if its MAC address has changed. -"
If you are talking about the MAC address of the Raspberry Pi, then "No"
it does not change.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] PiCorePlayer LMS. trouble connecting using NFS to synology NAS

2021-04-30 Thread d6jg


Do you know how to use WinSCP? If you do connect to the Pi and navigate
to the mounted NFS drive. Is it actually still there? If so can you
navigate to a media file?

It may be that the mount did work and the scan completed but the mount
is now unavailable. This would be consistent with having music in the
LMS database but not being able to play anything

2021-04-30 Thread digimaster


There are two ways you can downgraded lms.

1. Logon to youre QNap using ssh shel, and go to
/share/*/.qpkg/LogitechMediaServer.
Here you find a file called .QLMS.conf, here change the UPDATE=1 to
UPDATE=8.1.1 ( Or other version, which you want to uses )
Save the file, and now ./QLogitechMediaServer.sh restart.
This will installed disered version if it exist and run it. 
Now edit .QLMS.conf NOUPDATE=0 to NOUPDATE=1, be sure there is no
leading # in front off the line, and save tie file.
This way it wont do a auto update check anymore.

2.  Logon to youre QNap using ssh shel, and go to
/share/*/.qpkg/LogitechMediaServer.
Now run ./QLogitechMediaServer.sh  rollback.
This will present you a menu, with several older version, and let
you chouce which one to want to use.
If the menu is empty, on upgraded you have not set ARCHIVE=1 in
.QLMS.conf.

Then a thing most users are not aware off, try
./QLochitechMediaServer.sh help, where it will show info regarding
options and some troubleshooting.

 QLMS Help 
QLogitechMediaServer version 2.x Help-file

QLogitechMediaServer is a init-script, to install/run
LogitechMediaServer on a QNap Nas-Systems !
It support the arm5te, armhf, arm64/aarch64, x86 and x86_64 systems,
with QTS 4.0 and higher.
On startup can check on any updates (Official/Nightly), behavior can be
chanced in .QLMS.conf
Also there is a way, the set running prio/nice-level, to make it
running smooth on a Nas-Systems/Server.
The way it works/starts can be adjusted, by editing the config file
.QLMS.confg to adjusted needs !.
Build-in there is support for several plugins like Spotty, shairtunes2,
Radio Paradise, Subsonic, GoogleMusic a.m.m.

I made/developed it, because SSOTS/SSODS stop work after a upgraded to
QTS 4.3.
First only suppled a script and perl, but soon this was complaining
about missing libraries.
It seems that a lot off libraries/software in QTS are to old or missing
options, to support LMS function's.
So from version 2.00 start using the chroot command, and in
QLogitechMediaServer there is a own file-system.
Through that way the errors where solved, and could included more
supported for LMS and plugins!
Please Keep in mind, I'm developing/building it in my spare time !

( For this you need to logon you're QNap system by ssh shell and go into
the .qpkg/LogitechMediaServer directory !)

[ command line options ]

./QlogitechMediaServer.sh start

On startup will check if there is a update for LMS, upgraded if
available. [ If NIGHTLY=1/UPDATE=1 are set in .QLMS.conf ]
Prepare system to run LMS, on it's own chrooted file-system !
If LMS crashes, will try to start LMS in the failsafe mode !
On trouble will give a error, when it's start in failsafe a
plug-in/option is causing the trouble !

./QlogitechMediaServer.sh stop

If LMS is running, will stop the services and any service started by
LMS !
Also will cleanup/unmounted any directory, and cleanup the chroot
file-system !

./QlogitechMediaServer.sh restart

Will stop LMS if running, after which a completed new start of LMS will
be preformed !

./QlogitechMediaServer.sh failsafe

Startup's with only the basic options, and no plugins are loaded !
( Very helpful if there is trouble, or a plug-in/option is causing
trouble ! )

./QlogitechMediaServer.sh status

Can be used to check if LMS is running !
When available and active also will display if running MusicIP, and if
set the next time Auto update checker will run !

./QlogitechMediaServer.sh config

Will give a lot of system information !
( Can be very handy, if you run in to trouble or a error on startup !
)

./QlogitechMediaServer.sh clean

Will completely clean the installed LMS, but settings will be kept.
When you run ./QLogitechMediaServer.sh start, will install a new LMS !
( Some times on trouble, could help to cleanup and install a completely
new LMS version )

./QlogitechMediaServer.sh check

Will check if there is a upgraded available, depending on settings
Official/nightly.
( Handy if you want to check if there is a update, without having to
restart QLogitechMediaServer. )

./QlogitechMediaServer.sh upgrade

When there is a upgrade file available, will do a upgrade.
For a downgrade, place the file in the DownloadShare, then will not
check on installed version of LMS !
( Will handle a upgraded, and if LMS is running will stop if first )

./QlogitechMediaServer.sh rollback

Lets you rollback, to earlier installed release of LMS if they have
been installed.
Will show a menu, where you can choice a older version. ( Only if that
version was installed earlier )
( Very useful if a new release is causing trouble, don't forget to
disable updates with NOUPDATE=0 to stop updating/upgrading ! )

./QlogitechMediaServer.sh timer

When in .QLMS.conf TIMER is set, will set the auto update timer ! [ If
it's not already enabled ! ]

./QlogitechMediaServer.sh timer status

If enabled will show on which time, the next check will be done !

If not running EDO, then AFAIK analog audio output is same as digital
output.

To check in case of some weird h/w issue on digital connection.

Confirm that analog  (e.g. use headphones) output is the same as digital
output.

When no audio from DAC - confirm check that analog output also faulty.

If both are faulty then issue is not with digital connection.

So, 

You have three SBTouch, one is connected to a DAC, are you using EDO ?

Installing EDO may, or may not, have any effect.

LMS is on a Synology Nas

SBTouch is connected to the network via wireless

Are the SBTouch situated in different locations or do you swap them in
and out of the same location ?

The problem could be a network problem:- suggested solution, use
Ethernet if possible

It could be a software problem (LMS on Synology):- suggested solution,
install LMS elsewhere and connect to nas for music files

It could be a hardware problem (SBTouch power supply beginning to
fail):- suggested solution, change power supply

Try only one solution at a time to see if resolves the problem

The next time it happens look in the Server log for any message, 
Settings >  Information > Logitech Media Server Log File

What sort of files are you playing when it happens ?

Does it happen if streaming internet radio.

It might be worthwhile changing the streaming method,   Settings >
Player > Audio > Streaming Method >

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Welcome!

2021-04-30 Thread g3sna


Greetings all. As the title indicates I have been managing my Squeezebox
radios on a Synology NAS server for years but they have gone into 'aunty
knows best' mode and declared LMS to be eol. So I am now running on an
RPi 3B+ and happily running everything including my music folder on it.
I set it up with the Raspian Lite OS btw and it is performing better
than it did on Synology with the radio being 6 seconds behind the actual
BBC transmission whereas the Synology was well over a minute behind.
Result for me is happiness.
