Yes, initially the 2nd alarm did no sound, however, with more testing
and stuffing around, other tests worked as expected.

This mornings alarms all executed as intended, so I have no idea why I
experienced that initial glitch.

No matter.
I am going to migrate my setup over to run on a Pi, so steep learning
curve ahead !


Thanks for all of your input, what a wonderful community :o

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Sequential alarms not working

2021-06-15 Thread leinster-lad


okay, 
on a boom

alarm 1 set for 7:49

alarm 2 set for 7:51

global alarm timeout of 1 minute

alarm 1 triggered at 7:49 and sounded for 1 minute

then 1 minute of silence

then, at 7:51 the second alarm sounded  and lasted for 1 minute.


so the "alarm time out" setting is a global setting for each individual
alarm.


second test..

alarm 1 set for 7:56 

alarm 2 set for 7:58

global alarm timeout of 10 minutes

result
alarm one triggered at 7:56 and played for 2 minutes

alarm two triggered at 7:58 cancelling out alarm #1

alarm two played for 10 minutes until 8:08




The real test ( after tonights server shut down and tomorrow morning
restart )  will be tomorrow morning.
I'll post results !

? my little experiment showed that the second alarm cancelled out the
first, the third cancelled the second etc.

I'll try a really short time out and see if it affects all alarms
equally ?

I was wondering if the "alarm time out" was for each individuat alarm or
the total of all alarms.

If it is for the total, yes, I will need to increase the timeout.

Thanks for getting back so quick.
TBH that detail got lost in the noise. lots going on here ATM.

Trying again

I just set 3 alarms
barn fire , soma FM, Blue Henry for 4:55 , 4:57 and 4:58
Alarm time out set to 40 minutes.
Each alarm started at allocated time and kicked the previous alarm

Looks like it is working correct.

So i'll set the alarms for 6:30 and 7:00 tomorrow mornign and see what
happens

Now, the only proviso is my server shuts down at 11pm and starts up at
6am.

Not sure if this is causing the issue and once it gets up and running,
the alarms behave themselves ?

I am feeling that you are right.
I started to look at the Raspberry Pi but got quickly confused by the
overwhelming varieties/accessories/daughterboards/ etc etc.

It just looked too hard.

I will go down that rabbit hole again and see what I find.

The NAS is a bit power hungry to have on all the time, so would be
looking at having my files on a USB HDD plugged into the Pi.
Can that HDD be accessed via a windows PC on the same network ? ( to add
new music )

Any clues on what I would need ?  
Just a basic stand alone unit that can run LMS ( mostly mp3 & FLAC
files, some at high rez )  
I run gigabit LAN to ASUS modem/router.  
Touch is LAN ,  2 booms and 2 classics are wifi.

I had the two alarms separated by some 5 minutes

looks like if I set a third alarm, that one triggers as expected.

If I set a THIRD alarm, it works.  very weird !


alarm 1 = 10:00 = ambient sound = works
alarm 2 = 10:05 = soma fm radio station = doesn't work ( radio station
displays on the screen but is paused )
alarm 3 = 10:10 = soma fm radio station (same as 2 ) = works as
expected

I'll reset the times for tomorrow morning and see what happens.

The last version I tried to instal was
logitechmediaserver-7.9.4-1601565762-i386-readynas  and it would not
work on my system.

I have not yet tried any of the 8.* yet and am reluctant to try given
the drama I had trying to downgrade back to 7.9.0  last time. For some
reason it was so difficult that I originally thought that I had bricked
my server.
After much swearing and teeth gnashing, I did get 7.9.0 back working
again and vowed that I would never try and upgrade again.

I have tried updating to later version many times ( currently running
7.9.0 - 1465358341 on a ReadyNAS pro OS: Netgear RAIDiator - EN - utf8
Platform: i686-linux ) but it just fails to work, so I have to downgrade
back to 7.9 to get it working again.

When 8.2 is released I will give upgrading another go, but do not hold
much hope of it working.

Thanks for your reply.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Sequential alarms not working

2021-06-14 Thread leinster-lad


Hi Guys, 
I have an issue where I set 2 sequential alarms for my Boom, but only
the first alarm works.
First alarm is set for 6:30 (one of the ambient noise scapes, Heavy
Rain)
The second alarm is set for 7:00 (item in the playlist)
Alarm duration is set for 20 minutes, so my expectation is that the
first alarm  will sound from 6:30 to 6:50
Then the second alarm will sound from 7:00 to 7:20

But

The second alarm never sounds.

I have had a look at the server log
Here is yesterdays log  ( server powers down everyday at 23:30 and
restarts the next morning at 06:00 )

The fail to connect to SSL ? not sure what that is or if that is
affecting the operation of the alarms?

There does not appear to be anything regarding the alarm in the logs.

I have set logging to debug the alarm, will see what that turns up
tomorrow.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Buffering issue with some 24-96 FLAC's on SB Touch

2016-07-07 Thread leinster-lad

Ok, progress ( sort of )

I re-encoded the 10cc files thru Foobar ( flac 24 bit )

They ended up about 20 megs smaller than the originals.

The encoding finished and I got an error message box saying that
"corrupt stream"

So I had a look at these new files in MP3Tag, all looked good, nothing
unusual.
Loaded them into Foobar and played, all good.  

So i re-encoded the already re-encoded files, and this thime there was
no error message. ( file size remained the same )

Loaded them up into MP3tag, which was fast as usual.
All tags looked "normal" and art work was added.

Removed the original files from the SB music library and copied the new
ones in.
Rescan LMS (full)

Got it playing now, all good, no buffering .

Any ideas what could have been wrong ?

I was sure that I was able to display the actual bit rate on the SBT.
Was one of the optionds in the "more" menu I think.

Cannot seem to find it now  ( LMS 7.9 , SBT 7.8 )

If I tap the "now playing" at the top of the screen, scroll down to
"more" and scoll down, I can find the "bit rate" but is from the tag,
not the actual "live" bit rate. 
any ideas ?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Buffering issue with some 24-96 FLAC's on SB Touch

2016-07-07 Thread leinster-lad

Touch is wired. on 1gb network to ReadyNAS Pro, running LMS 7.9 (
updated yesterday )
Touch is running 7.8 
Music library is on ReadyNAS as a share.
There are no other libraries.
There are no other SB's connected or sync'd
There is no other activity on the network

ALL cover art is stripped out
Tags stripped out and redone ( MP3Tag ) just with basic album and artist
.

All other 24/96 files play fine ( ie no buffering )
All other 24/96 files open in windows explorer fine.
All other 24/96 files load into MP3Tag or Foobar fine.

Opening or loading these particular files on my windows 7 (64bit)
machine makes it "bog down" for a few seconds.  
I can't see anything going on in task manager.

It just seems that THESE ( the 10cc ones )  24/96 files are padded out
with something ??  that takes a while for programs to read them.

Where / how can I look "into" the files to see why they are so slow to
load. ???

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Buffering issue with some 24-96 FLAC's on SB Touch

2016-07-06 Thread leinster-lad

Guys, 
I have an interesting issue that has become apparent recently while
trying to play a 24-96 FLAC. 

I have a few 24-96 Flacs in my library, and they have all played without
issue until.  As afr as I can tell, this buffering issue relates to only
one album. It is a 24-96 with tracks around the 3500 - 5000 kbps VBR.

I have attached a screen grab of the data stream.
The first peak is the beginning of a Fleetwood mac 24-96 track. There
are no buffering issues with that track, it plays straight away with no
buffering or delay.
The second BIGGER/FATTER peak is the beginning of the 10cc track that
buffers and takes a couple of seconds to start playing.

In both cases, you can see that the data stream settles down and is
continuous.
Once the 10cc track starts playing, there is no stuttering or buffering.
It plays good.

When opening the 10cc album folder in windows or MP3Tag or FooBar, it
opens/loads REALLY slowly.  All other 24-96 Flacs open/load very quick,
as per normal.

I know that I could just delete this album, but I am really curious as
to WHY ???
I have done all the usual stuff.
Stripped out the tags and redone them
Removed all album art etc.

I have now run out of ideas and call upon your experience.
Thanks !
