Re: [slim] music stops when on synced radio starts up

2020-06-21 Thread teebee


I tried it, but didn't think of it as a new player so alarm was set on
the bedroom radio itself. Changed it today so I'll see tomorrow if that
fixes it. thanks for all the testing :D



SB Radio x2, SB Duet, Squeezelite, SB Player, Squeezer, LMS 8.0.0 on
Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB)

[slim] RadioFeeds UK & Ireland, now with station logos

2020-06-21 Thread vinnielo


The RadioFeeds UK & Ireland radio directory now includes station logos
where available. Not any old logos.. official logos, as provided by the
stations themselves, through the use of RadioDNS's "Project Logo".
So these will be high-res artwork rather than dodgy JPEG regrabs from
Twitter or some other source.
Give it a try! Available as a mysqueezebox.com app or Logitech Media
Server plugin.



*RadioFeeds UK & Ireland..* an up-to-date radio directory for your
Squeezebox/Transporter/UE Smart Radio.. available from the
mysqueezebox.com App Gallery.
Bonus: our RadioFeeds LMS plugin also lists AAC *and the BBC's
high-quality HLS streams* on top of what's available in our MSB app.
-Now with over 1000 registered users-, it's available for Logitech Media
Server (and Squeezebox Server, SqueezeCenter and SlimServer).

How about extending the capability of the LMS Alarm so that it becomes a
baby "cron".


This indeed was an idea we played with some... 10+ years ago :-). I 
think this could be an interesting plugin.

Wouldn't a scheduled "scanner.exe" do the job?


Or this, yes. It just needs a little more work to figure out all the 
necessary parameters.

It could then provide the interface to schedule the scanner (and other
things).

All the UI stuff about "modes" with up/down/left/right/scroll  are
related to handling the older VFD displays where LMS generated the
bitmaps.

Later addition of OPML based menus with OPMLBased class for plugins -
simplifed menu handling and enabled one menu datastructure to handle
both older displays and newer ones.

Plugins are very flexible - essentially adding code to LMS and so can
modify everything - beside APIs and hooks ("can" routines),  a plugin
can sub/super class standard LMS classes and modify behaviour.  LMS is
single threaded so a badly behaved plugin can halt LMS or cause bad
audio playback. LMS single threading is handled via AnyEvent (which is
another avenue for adding functionality) but a plugin is not bound to
the single thread as plugins can can create subprocesses via 
Proc::Background.  Windows only plugins can access Windows API via Win32
module.

With all the above possibilties - I hope you see, it is better to
describe what you want to do rather than ask what APIs are available. 
It is very rare for a plugin to need to do something that there isn't
something similar already developed that can serve as a template

Thank you for this overview. I've been using LMS with the Material skin,
so all those docs pages were hidden from me. Very helpful.

Is the plugin info in the WebUI (.../html/docs/plugins.html>) also
outdated?
