HmmmI'm trying to shoehorn that into the JSON service data required
by Home Assistant, but it's having no effect. 

This is an example of JSON data that successfully plays an album:
{ "entity_id": "media_player.lounge_tv", "command": "playlist",
"parameters": ["loadtracks", "album.titlesearch=abbey road"] }

So I tried this to emulate your command:
{ "entity_id": "media_player.lounge_tv", "command": "playlist",
"parameters": ["index", "+1"] }

But no luck. Any guesses as to anything else I could try?

Hi itm.

I would dearly love to use my GH to voice control my Squeezebox stuff. I
have IFTTT installed on my handheld devices but don't have any clue how
to implement the info from your post above. Can you provide any pointers
to where I might get more info?

Thanks for any help

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Classic failing

2018-01-18 Thread sgmlaw

Agree with the others.  Start with the PSU.  Try a fresh one to be sure.
They are cheap.  The Classic only needs 1A at the output.

But the wi-fi card on these do fail, and they disrupt all networking
when they malfunction.  I'm reasonably sure you can run one of these
without the card on ethernet only.

Other than that, the VFD tiring and the output caps are the main trouble
spots on the Classic.  Keep the display off or dimmed to preserve it,
and have a couple of Silmics on hand for a fast re-cap.

Good luck.

I needed to install Home Assistant (https://home-assistant.io/) on a PC
at home to enable this (it will run on Windows, Linux and also Raspberry

Security isn't ideal TBH. I've set up an SSL endpoint on my HA server
but I can't find a way to avoid embedding the HA API password in the URL

aplay and arecord are in fact the same application - just  cosmetic and

Unless you get a recording of what you want - do not think you are

I'm still going back through old threads to find relevant instructions.

On a command line the foillowing command will play the Default alsa
device and copy audiostream in 44.1kHz/16bit/2chan WAV format into a
file call test.wav


Code:


  aplay -D default -f cd -t wav >test.wav
  



Play something on the audio outout you want recorded.  Issue the above
aplay command. Let it record for say 30 secs - use CTRL/C to stop and
then play back test.wav and check if it was the audio you wanted
recorded. 

If you want to know what devices are available to aplay - use the "-l"
lower case letter L.  The device can replace "default" in the -D option
above.

Code:


  aplay -l
  



To test under the LMS userid - it would be best to login under than id
but you could use "su" but it is not 100%. The actual userid will
depened on your installation but use "ps" to see what userid the LMS
server process is using.

Pulseaudio requires a totally different strategy than Alsa and it
usually much more convoluted.  It has been documented/discussed already
at length in the WaveInput plugin thread.

Re: [slim] Can I use several Squeezebox with several instances of the WaveInput plugin?

2018-01-18 Thread Mastiff

Typical... I think I just found a better solution, the day after byuing
a used Sqeezebox! I was tipped about Airport Express as a receiver and
TuneBlade as an AirPlay sender. I am familiar with TuneBlade, I just
didn't know about the Airport Express (being a certified iHater...). Can
the Squeezebox receive AirPlay streams? If it can I'd rather have that
then Airport Express, then I can still say that no device from crApple
is defacing my system! ;)

Re: [slim] Anyone using Google Home, IFTTT and Home Assistant to control LMS?

2018-01-18 Thread itm

So I finally cracked it, and have Google Home controlling my LMS
server/players. If anyone else should try this, here's an example of the
type of IFTTT request that you need to send to home-assistant - this one
plays the track that you specify:
URL:
"https://yourdyndnsoripaddress:8123/api/services/media_player/squeezebox_call_method?api_password=yourHomeAssistantAPIpassword;
Method: POST
Content Type: application/json
{ "entity_id": "media_player.yourmediaplayername", "command":
"playlist", "parameters": ["loadtracks",
"track.titlesearch={{TextField}}"] }

It's not the easiest thing in the world to set up, but it's great to
finally control my music with only my voice :0)

Re: [slim] Can I use several Squeezebox with several instances of the WaveInput plugin?

2018-01-18 Thread d6jg

There are all sorts of AV sender & receiver devices on the market that
use RF

Viz a cheapo pair
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bestland-PAT-650-Wireless-Transmitter-Receivers/dp/B074H9SM9H/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8=1516275337=8-4=av+sender

OK you don't want video but a couple of these will still do exactly what
you want won't they ? I understand the requirement to be to take an
Audio source (switched from your existing Multi Room set up) and send it
to a Remote location in this case via RF. There is no control element to
worry about except On & Off.

Hi,
I use alsa : how to use aplay ?
How to verify I have a command that when executed at a shell prompt
under your LMS userid can copy the desired audio stream into a WAV file
?

Re: [slim] Can I use several Squeezebox with several instances of the WaveInput plugin?

2018-01-18 Thread epoch1970

You don't even need Airplay. Start by choosing the OS of the machine on
the sending end (near that multizone amp), and look for ways to stream
live audio from that platform.
The available methods will restrict (more or less) your choice of
hardware for the endpoints.

The possibilities are endless indeed: 
- networked audio device managers:  PulseAudio, Jack, ...
- network transport tools + local sender/local receiver : ssh, socat
plus something else, ...
- (live) streaming applications: vlc, shoutcast, icecast ...

Squeezeboxes don't do Airplay natively. There is an LMS plugin for that,
too, but I think that is besides the point.
