Ah - I'm a gentoo user so I'd installed it via that.

I had a dig thru the ebuild - hoping it was just a simple wrapper around
your makefiles, but it's quite a rewrite :(

I can turn off aac with use flags (the way gentoo handles configuration
of packages) but it seems the ebuild author has written the ebuild to
forcibly use the gentoo portaudio package.

So I downloaded your prebuilt binary (linux26) and tried using that, but
it seems to hang in a similar way.

And then I tried the source, edited the makefile to remove the
-DUSE_SIGNALS_FOR_RESTART as mentioned in an earlier post (and commented
out the -DINTERACTIVE and LIBS line for curses and lirc, and also
removed them from the buildall call to gcc), and that seems to work
better, but still if left idle for a few minutes it sometimes goes
silent, and has to be killed and restarted to resume playing although
not hung as before - it's still producing log messages and can be killed
without a SIGKILL.

That version reports
compile flags: linux portaudio:1608 debug daemon renice

Any suggestions of anything else I can try, or do to help diagnose it?

Cheers

[slim] M4a (sorry)

2012-05-06 Thread Atlantic

First: apologies.  There have been countless posts dealing with m4a
issues, but the forum search isn't recognising 'm4a' (or mp4).

Does anyone still have a link to a (the?) thread describing how to play
m4a files?

Received an m4a file from a performer's website sign-up, and SBS
recognises it as an m4a file, recognises performer name, song title,
picture, and the lyrics (which surprised me) and reports the file as
being:

File format: mp4

Bitrate: 256kbps CBR (Converted to 705.6kbps ABR)

Sample size: 16 bit

But my SBR plays no sound - though its LED is showing bright white (it
is receiving) and the SBS web UI shows the track being played - ie, the
time-bar moves onwards.

In SBS, the file type settings for MP4 are:

AAC - Native
FLAC - faad/flac
MP3 - faad/lame
PCM - faad

Neither, incidentally, does Squeezeplay play the track, on a (wired)
windows PC.

I think I recall seeing something about inserting a transcode in a
convert.conf file in previous threads.  Could anyone point me to a
relevant thread or, maybe, some instructions?

And sorry for asking about something which I think is already solved, if
I could only find it.

regards, Atlantic

The audio output thread is most likely hanging.

I'd suggest working with trunk for starters which is currently at r325.

I see no issues with the makefile changes, but you'll need to make them
again for trunk.

Then I'd suggest updating the portaudio library version to r1826.

LIBPORTAUDIO=portaudio-r1826

LMS supports m4a properly - there is no need to add or change any of the
conf file.

Is the file a pure audio file or does it have some video embedded ?
Can you play this file on other PC based players ?

What version of LMS ?

Re: [slim] SqueezeRemote for nokia phones

2012-05-06 Thread charlesr

Not sure why I have never spotted this before, but... awesome. Apart
from one thing. I have 2 players. I can only seem to control the one in
the bedroom which is not the one I want to remote control.

If I turn the one in the bedroom off I can get it to contorl the one in
the lounge but as soon as I plug it back in again, I'm back to
controlling the bedroom :(

I thought perhaps it was picking the first one alphabetically (bedroom
vs lounge), so I renamed it upstairs. No joy.
Then I thought perhaps it was picking the first IP, but the lounge is
.11 and bedroom is .12 so it wasn't that.

If anyone can figure out how it chooses which one to control and how I
can fool it, I'd be a very happy bunny.

Not sure about video; VLC plays it with sound only.  (Would VLC show

SBS 7.4

One of the previous threads (had) suggested - if I recall correctly -
that M4a is served to the player losslessly and that, if PCM was used, a
wireless-connected player might struggle.  But since the file doesn't
play through Squeezeplay, either, on a wired PC, I think I've a
more-serious problem.

I'm happy to try to transcode it to, say, Mp3/320.  I think I'll search
for transcoding and see how to do that.

[slim] Copy Customized Home Menu to Other Players?

2012-05-06 Thread spedinfargo

Is there any tool out there to keep the home menu among different
players the same?  For instance, I have 2 Radios and an SB3 (with Duet
Controller) - I would like to get the home menu in a certain order on
one of the Radio and then copy it to the other two.

Thanks,

bpa wrote:

bpa, that is a quite-compelling reason to upgrade.  

Hadn't done so, Gary, because (i) the system just runs very well, and
(ii) upgrades are a little disruptive with plug-ins - some of the extras
we use have quite different versions for the later releases.  Apart
from, as well,  the time it takes, and not being entirely sure whether
you had to remove the old, etc, so researching the steps, safeguarding a
fallback strategy; upgrading is a 'project' in itself, really, in the
context that the existing installation is working so well and giving the
family good service.  I just trust it.

But I can see that upgrading may be necessary, especially if sampler and
publicity material is going to be released in the future in m4a files. 
I'm going to dig around for a transcode solution, though - I'd like to
know how to do that, anyway.  Thinking about it, I could probably do a
conversion offline (it's the only m4a file I have) with any of several
utilities already on the box, even if I cannot persuade my SBS to do it
'on the fly'.

Makes sense (not upgrading). I have a number of m4a files and they all
play fine with no special settings. But in the distant past I had some
issues with a ready nas duo. That's why I asked if you were using a nas
or low powered computer. if so, that could be the issue.
