Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Manually installing plugin zips
Yep. That works now. As a matter of fact I had a messed up situations because I was copying my changes over the original installed LocalPlayer plugin, which was locate under ./cache/... I found some dead config bodies in the related config files. No surprise it all had to be wiped out. However. Disabling the plugin >> updating the plugin code >> restarting the server >> enabling the updated plugin seems to work for me. Can't we write all that down somewhere? Anyhow. I have another question. (Slightly off topic) What's the workflow creating a zip from git for manual installation? Not all files from the git repo land into the zip. And then sometimes the zip s get restructured E.g. on the LocalPlayer Plugin the binary locations get reorganized. Ah binaries!?!?? ( Sorry for being slightly off topic here once more, it still affects the github handling and packaging of my updated and manually installed plugin) E.g. The LocalPlayer plugin supplies it's own binaries. Where do you folks keep the sources respectively recipes to build them?? I havn't seen anything on the LocalPlayer plugin over at the community plugin github page that refers to binary sources.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Manually installing plugin zips
One more comment. It all wasn't that easy. I am working on changes to the LocalPlayer Plugin (introducing aarch64) btw. I figured I had to wipe the prefs/cache/db directory under /var/lib/lms, basically starting lms from scratch, to get going. Having done that wipe, the plugin stored under /usr/share/lms/Plugins was automatically recognized and enabled at initial start. For now, that's the only way I managed to do it. :::' my audioblog - latest series: RaspBerry PI - \"The Audio Engine\" ' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com)::: soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108414 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Manually installing plugin zips
Thx Michael. That's exactly how it works on my LMS8.0 RPiOS64 (Debian) installation. "Settings/Information" shows "/usr/share/lms/Plugins" as plugin location. Putting the unzipped plugin dir-structure and content there will load the plugin after LMS restart. The $LMSHOME/Plugins dir didn't exist. It had to be created. All folders/files had to be configured with the right $LMSUSER ownership. What I found a bit odd is that the manually installed and loaded plugins doesn't show up in the "./cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins" folder. It works anyway. I havn't tested yet what happens if you install a 3PPlugin from the LMS repo which has the same name as the manually installed plugin. That might happen if you work on enhancements/corrections on an existing plugin.

And the "prefs" path is known. Basically doing that what BPA wrongly suggested in the first place. But writing a plugin... ...you gotta be kidding. I do very well understand that none of you likes to touch the code. LMS is a monster. ;) Perhaps I'll find out how to extent the PATH. Then I'll do that.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS - variable locations of (custom-)convert.conf !?!?
LMS doesn't look e.g. in
/var/lib/lms # a top level
/var/lib/lms/prefs# as shown in info screen
(just tried it)
how can it then lookup
/etc/squeezeboxserver
on Ubuntu, which doesn't show anywhere !?!?
*
Here's the answer, I just figured it out myself.
You'll find different default PATH configurations under:
/usr/share/""lms""/Slim/Utils/OS/
That's where you find the config files for Debian, RedHat, OSX,... where
they define their file locations.
If you run then Ubuntu, Debian gets applied, if you run Fedora, RedHat
gets applied.
Each of these OS basically runs its own config file. If you're not on
that list???
I am on ArchLinux Arm right now. There is no config file for that.
Therefore LMS defaults to the generic "Unix" config.
Now I did this on Unix.pm:
Code:
diff /usr/share/lms/Slim/Utils/OS/Unix.pm
/usr/share/lms/Slim/Utils/OS/Unix.pm.orig
55c55
< if ($dir =~ /^(?:strings|revision|types|repositories)$/) {
---
> if ($dir =~ /^(?:strings|revision|convert|types|repositories)$/) {
58,61d57
<
< } elsif ($dir =~ /^(?:convert)$/) {
<
< push @dirs, "/var/lib/lms/prefs";
(inspired by the Debian folks)
and then copied "BOTH" convert.conf and custom-convert.conf to
/var/lib/lms/prefs
Yep. convert.conf also has to be placed at the same location as
custom-convert.conf as it seems.
And guess what!?!?
That's how I made it work. ;)
Perhaps there's a more elegant way. I don't know yet.
At least I have an idea for now.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS - variable locations of (custom-)convert.conf !?!?
Hi. I'm in the process of settings up LMS on ya RPi4. I do it from scratch. Building CPAN asf. I have a question. The (custom-)convert.conf files are spread all over the place on different OS installations. The location can not be chosen via "default" locations as it seems. I basically can not tell LMS where to look for the files at startup. LMS looks only in the lms root-directory (usually /usr/share/"lms") by default. Ubuntu and others leave the convert files at /etc/squeezeboxserver, pCP under its LMS rootdir /usr/local/slimserver/ ( which is not nice) , asf. I am wondering if a user accessible location, which already exists, wouldn't be a much better choice for at least the custom.convert.conf?? I'd prefer to go for /var/lib/"lms"/prefs . To me that looks much better than above examples. It also wouldn't need a separate LMS backup procedure. What I don't know: How can I configure such a location? Can I make LMS scan that location as default-location for a custom-convert.conf ?

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS/slimproto and squeezelite volume control issues
Hi. I ran into several volume control issues on the squeezelite side. I'm now working on a patch for squeezelite. I do have almost no knowledge about LMS and slimproto. I'd need a little help here. First the potential LMS issues I ran into: LMS/slimproto delivers ambiguous and even wrong-order data while going down the 100->0 scale. ambiguous values: 47/48=3328 44/45=2816 42/41=2304 wrong order: 40/39=2048/2050 ( yep it goes up on 39!) This behavior should be easy to trace. This pretty much makes it impossible to provide a consistent and linear volume control. # Where are these VC scale and mappings/conversions generated? Any ideas what's going wrong here? # I do have some more questions. Would it be possible to fetch the actual volume scale values (range 100-0) over slimproto? Would it be possible to apply a linear scale to the LMS volume control?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] C-3PO plugin, a trnscoding helper.
OK. Finally: Flexible phase adjustments are not supported (yet?). Thx for the feedback. I think it would be nice if C-3PO would offer a simple free configurable field to be able to tailor a complete sox "effect" string. (That would also make Marco's live easier on the long run. ;) ) It'd make the plugin much more flexible. comparison to squeezelite: C-3PO uses the sox binary and not libsoxr directly. That's limiting the plugin. squeezelite, using libsoxr, can offer a broader scope of resampling options as being offered by libsoxr. Beside that, using libsoxr directly would allow to run 64bit. Obviously DSD would be an issue. sox could still be used for special purposes. Of course getting direct access to libsoxr would require to write a resampling application. That's not too difficult though. (Even I managed to write such an app ; )) When it comes to the Archimago stuff. As much as I question most of his findings on numerous topics, he IMO got a point on the resampling part. I'm not saying that I like his resampling config choice best. He IMO is pointing into the right direction though. Don't forget resampling (or any other DSP) will always be a compromise. :::' my audioblog - latest series: RaspBerry PI - \"The Audio Engine\" ' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com)::: soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105309 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Hi. Just had a quick look at the plugin. I'm wondering if I can set the phase manually instead of using the predefined definitions (linear/...)? Or if that would be a nice2have feature!?!? sox offers it. I've also seen that earlier was mentioned that sox uses 64bit. Afaik that's only partly correct.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Routing of different conversion rules and formats to player by MACs
Great input Kimmo. Thx a lot. Basically with your patch I'd start squeezelite with -c pcm,flac,mp3 and the MAC routing works even with flac flac enabled. That's great. But I guess if I have "no" MAC based routing in place and "flac pcm" and "flac flac" both enabled, I'd end up with "pcm" on squeezelite. Since pcm has prio 1 now. Is Ralphy aware of your patch? I think it wouldn't hurt to get it into squeezelite. ;) Thx again. ::: ' Touch Toolbox and more' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com) ::: by soundcheck soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106517 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Routing of different conversion rules and formats to player by MACs
All what it needs is finding the snippet in the code that sets the MAC rule prio and change that one to cover the whole file-type group. I guess that'd be a no-brainer for someone like mherger. ::: ' Touch Toolbox and more' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com) ::: by soundcheck soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106517 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Routing of different conversion rules and formats to player by MACs
Ok. Make all rules "routed" and disable the generic ones. Hmmh. Yep. That's a workaround then. A bit annoying though. Especially if you need just 1 or 2 routed clients out of ten. @mherger: Are u listening??

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Routing of different conversion rules and formats to player by MACs
Hi. I'd like to continue this discussion. Below a custom-convert.conf example. Code: mp3 flc * * # FT [sox] -D -q -t mp3 $FILE$ -t flac -e signed -C 0 -b 24 - 2>/tmp/sox.log flc flc * * # F [sox] -D -q -t flac $FILE$ -t flac -e signed -C 0 -b 24 - 2>/tmp/sox.log flc pcm * * # F [sox] -D -q -t flac $FILE$ -t wavpcm -e signed -b 24 - 2>/tmp/sox.log flc pcm * 00:00:00:00:00:00 # F [sox1] -D -q -t flac $FILE$ -t wavpcm -e signed -b 24 - rate -v -s -L 384000 2>/tmp/sox.log flc pcm * b8:ae:ed:77:18:31 # F [sox2] -D -q -t flac $FILE$ -t wavpcm -e signed -b 24 - rate -v -s -L 88200 2>/tmp/sox.log If "flac flac" and also the bottom customized rules "flac pcm" are enabled, "flac flac" overrules the customized options. Rather low performance devices/players (phone/tablet/bathroom) shall use the "flac flac" option and my main systems shall use "flac pcm" option. Can this be changed? To e.g. ->> If there is a "routed" rule inside the "flac" section with "whatever" output format selected, that one will be taken as default rule for this particular player. And just to mention it. As you can see in above, there's another weakness with the player routing setup. If I don't copy and rename my sox binaries ( e.g. sox1, sox2) I can't distinguish the different rules/player in the Advanced settings GUI. They'll all look the same. That's not nice.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Routing of different conversion rules and formats to player by MACs
Sorry bpa. Your answer has nothing to do with my question. I do understand that e.g. your Android app might have issues playing pcm files. (pcm was just an example here btw.) squeezelite doesn't. squeezelite even reads samplerates ( in case of SRCed pcm streams) etc. from header.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Routing of different conversion rules and formats to player by MACs
Hi. The custom-convert.conf lets me configure selective routing for particular conversion rules by MAC address. Now. What is the prioritization scheme for the rules ? Let me explain what I would like to do: All players in the net shall receive "flac flac" and no SRC by default. Except my main stereo (MAC x:x:x:x:x:x ) shall receive samplerate converted "flac pcm" To accomplish this I'd have to enable both rules under "Advanced Config/FileTypes". But. Usually "the upper" rule in the collumn overrides the lower rules. E.g. "flac flac" if enabled overrides "flac pcm" if also enabled. What's the logic/limitation here?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Genre menu customization ??
@pippin
I actually talked to several Android developers. None of them is
interested. They eat what's on the table.
You should have ported iPeng long ago. None of these Android apps comes
close. And probably won't ever.
I had and still have the strong impression that none of them had the
ambition to evolve their product. They're all in maintenance ("It's good
enough") mode.
Anyhow.
I can get partially what I'm looking for by adding entries within
"Additional Browse Modes" on 7.9. . That'll give me immediately
"One-Click" "All Albums" per Genre sorted by Artist.
But here I have to configure one Additional Browse Mode per "Genre".
Having 20 or more new menu items under "My Music" (Classcial/Jazz/...)
plus the redundant "Genre" menu is pretty useless, means a lot of
effort and it's IMO just a poor workaround.
Perhaps there's a better and easier solution !?!? Isn't there a way to
manipulate the base menu structure??

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Genre menu customization ??
Hi there. I'm running LMS 7.9. I'd like to customize my "Genres" menu a little to make my live easier. Currently my setup shows "Genres/Genre/Artist/Albums - per Artist" Or if I select "All Albums" in the "Artist" list I get "../All Albums per Genre sorted by All Artists". What I would like to achieve now is following. I would like to skip the 2nd layer menu - the list of "Artist" and show "All Albums per Genre sorted by "Artist" right away. Currently in my setup this - showing all albums/genre sorted by artist in one list - can only be achieved by selecting the "All Albums" in the "Artist" list. That's pretty annoying since that "All Albums" entry appears at the bottom of the Artist list. Especially if you face hundreds of artists in that list it's no longer fun. Pretty much all Android remotes use the standard lists/menu structure as provided by LMS. This should be aligned accordingly or better, should continue to work. The only app I know that adjusts menus is iPeng. iPeng btw puts that "All Album" menu item under "Genres/Genre/Artists on top of that list for easier access! Adjusting the Artist list instead of skipping it would then be my 2nd best modification choice. If I can't throw out that Artist list under Genres, I'd at least would like to put "All Albums" on top of the Artist list. I'm wondering how that could work. Any hints of how to accomplish this are appreciated. Thx a lot.
