Sorry! I did see that leaving the Pi powered down when not in use was
the current practice, but did not understand that continuing to do that
was necessarily a goal. That was my failure to think it through.
Obviously, if the solution were that simple, you would have already
suggested it!

As I understand it:

Enable the -systemd-time-wait-sync- service.


Code:


  sudo systemctl enable systemd-time-wait-sync
  


Drop an appropriate systemd snippet under the LMS service, easy way:


Code:


  sudo systemctl edit logitechmediaserver.service
  
  Text needed:
  
  [Unit]
  After=time-sync.target
  



Creates -override.conf- in
-/etc/systemd/system/logitechmediaserver.service.d-

Optionally, to guard against time never synchronizing:

Drop a systemd snippet under the systemd time wait sync service, to time
out after 5 minutes, easy way:


Code:


  sudo systemctl edit systemd-time-wait-sync.service.d
  
  Text needed:
  
  [Service]
  TimeoutStartSec=5m
  



Creates -override.conf- in
-/etc/systemd/system/systemd-time-wait-sync.service.d-

Thoroughly test, and report back !

Sorry that I did not give a more expansive thread opener, I was a bit
pushed for time.

The person uses the raspberry pi Buster Desktop OS  with LMS v 8.2.1

pCP was rejected, Network wait is enabled, and as stated in the opening
post, it is desired to power down the pi in between usage.

I have mirrored the set-up using a rpi3B+ instead of a rpi4b.

Both a  cronjob, and an autostart command, utilising a 25 sec sleep,
restart the LMS successfully.

I have thought about making a restart.service file but the cronjob seems
to work OK for him at the moment

I just though I would ask here, incase there is an alternative

Thanks for your explanations, it is appreciated. You are right, I was
playing the Linn stations from favorites that link the TuneIn stream
URL's. As you explain, the cover art then comes from TuneIn. That may
also explains why I (with Linn Radio suppressed in your plugin) I
sometimes got cover art for station Linn Radio that is totally unrelated
to the track that is played. Apparently the insertion of cover art
regularly goes wrong at TuneIn.

Since the Touch and the NAS are left on all the time, why not leave the
Pi on, too?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Anyone getting Linn Classical on pCP

2021-10-13 Thread Paul Webster


With my plugin disabled, if you tried to play the underlying stream URL
- http://radio.linn.co.uk:8004/autodj - you would not get the cover
art.

However, since you played it via TuneIn (possibly as a favourite) then
that cover art comes from TuneIn (the topic of another recent thread
here on the forum).

With my plugin disabled, I just played Linn Jazz and there was a track
by Alyn Cosker
The artwork shown was 
http://cdn-albums.tunein.com/gn/1Q5QG06RR1g.jpg
The Linn equivalent link that my plugin would have used is
http://radio.linn.co.uk:2199/static/linnjazz/covers/lyns_une_f9eb53b6.jpg

Unfortunately I have not been able to find a way work out what the URL
would be for the hi-res version held on the Linn platform.

Maybe I could cheat  and build up a list of their albums and then
get them from their site ... given that they play predominantly
(exclusively?) their own label material ...

e.g. that Alyn Cosker album cover art is at ...
https://www.linnrecords.com/sites/default/files/styles/square_400/public/album_cover/AKD%20338%20Sleeve.png

While that might seem like a ridiculous idea ... given the heavy
rotation in what they play, it might be feasible ... but I suspect for
another day.

Right now TuneIn is laying the stations and showing a generic TuneIn
logo with text showing no artist and a title of
Ian Shaw - 03 - She s Loaded [bw]

If my plugin was doing it - it would have shown
artist: Ian Shaw
title: She s Loaded
album: Lifejacket
coverart:
http://radio.linn.co.uk:2199/static/linnjazz/covers/lifejacket_a4fcc855.jpg

In the meantime - you could delete that station from the plugin
configuration file (and remember to do it on each update)!

I noticed that when I suppress Linn Radio in the Radio Now Playing
plugin settings, the Linn Jazz station provides hi res (600x600) cover
art. The other two Linn stations do not provide cover art with this
setting.
With Linn Radio not suppressed, all three Linn stations provide low res
100x100 cover art, as you mention. Maybe you can think of a way that
your plugin provides the 600x600 hi res cover art for Linn Jazz?

The pi syncs its time at start up.

The problem can be solved by using a restart LMS  bash script at boot
(either by cronjob or autostart).

The Touch can be restarted by a short press of the reset button on the
back (not in favour).

I have found a script, here on the forum, which claims to run on the pi
and restart the Touch when the pi boots. This is not tested yet, as he
is happy with a cronjob (who wouldn't be? :):rolleyes::p)


Do the panel think there is any other way to solve the problem
:confused:

Thanks
