Re: [slim] How can I tell what format and bit rate Tidal is streaming at?

2017-05-18 Thread Mnyb

The suggested logging can be of some interest .

When I tried Tidal . I think about >80% off stuff was FLAC .
So then you can nag them if your fav album is not yet aviable as flac.

Yes the service provides an MP3 file if there is no flac file aviable.

There is also another way to see what Tidal is going to send you if you
have your LMS Browser open. Pick the song(s) you wish to listen to or
check, placing them in your Que so they show up in the right hand pane.
Now move your cursor over the song you wish more information on and out
to the far right of the highlighted song you will see the *-Play Icon-*,
the *-Delete Icon (X)-*, and the *-M Icon (M)-*. Click on the *-M-* and
all the known info on that song/track will now be displayed in the Left
Pane. It will show the File Format (MP3, FLAC, etc) where its from
(Tidal, Pandora, or drive in your collect), and what the Bit Rate is.

Enjoy the Music!

Re: [slim] IMPORTANT: Stop forwarding your LMS ports to the internet!

I gave it a try, and all was fine, except...

*Spotify Protocol Handler* - Booms and SB3s reported *'Bad Player
(Error: -1)'* when I tried to play Spotify tracks. Touches and Radios
were fine.

So, I changed back to 'Do Not Block' (even though the whitelist was
correct, and external Radios were fine with Spotify) and then the Booms
and SB3s were ok again.

Oddly, once the affected players had successfully played Spotify tracks,
re-enabling the 'Block' didn't affect them - they remained working. But,
only until a restart of LMS, when they stopped again.

Have now left the setting as 'Do Not Block', and set some IPTables rules
to achieve the same (probably much better!) security.

Hope this helps someone, some time.

Cheers.

Stephen.

I used to use this function, and everything worked fine. I changed it
only because one user was astonishingly technophobic, whilst at the same
time entirely addicted to BBC iPlayer on the Squeezebox. Their solution
to pretty much every problem in the house was to switch off the router,
and leave it for an hour before turning it on again (I kid you not -
even if their Humax DVR had crashed!) It was an ADSL connection, so the
IP changed regularly. They no longer use Squeezebox, having switched to
a Roberts Stream 93i.

I really would rather not have to implement a VPN client from the remote
user ends, but it might come to that.

But, I'll see how things go with the switch to IP whitelisting, and
maybe also set up some IPTables entries...

Thanks a lot.

Stephen

Re: [slim] IMPORTANT: Stop forwarding your LMS ports to the internet!

2017-05-18 Thread Michael Herger

To avoid the complication of VPN, or passwords (the remote users are
very technologically challenged), is the IP filtering within LMS
considered 'acceptable'? The remote users are all on semi-static IPs


TBH: I don't know what IP address your LMS would see in this case. Give 
it a try and let us know.


But then I'd really not expose LMS to the internet. I just wouldn't.

Re: [slim] IMPORTANT: Stop forwarding your LMS ports to the internet!

2017-05-18 Thread StephenC

I've been running LMS, open to the Internet, for years. Never had an
issue (of which I'm aware, anyway). Until a few weeks ago. Bizarre
alarms in the middle of the night, across a few different players. Then,
1am yesterday, multiple players firing up at full volume. A couple of
these aren't local, and the users were far from impressed.

To avoid the complication of VPN, or passwords (the remote users are
very technologically challenged), is the IP filtering within LMS
considered 'acceptable'? The remote users are all on semi-static IPs
(Virgin Media - IP addresses seem to persist for years, even through
router reboots):

Thanks a lot.

Stephen.

[slim] Does LMS use the SMB v1.0 protocol??

After the most recent wave of attacks & hacks, this piece of advice has
been widely published:

http://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-tip-stop-using-the-horribly-insecure-smbv1-protocol/

Does LMS or do any of the devices need this protocol??

Can I just turn it off on W& &/or W10 systems??

Does anyone know??

Thanks
