[SlimDevices: Plugins] BBCiPlayer V1.5.2 beta test
This is a new thread for beta testing of BBCiPlayer 1.5.2 and later. BBCiPlayer 1.4.x implemented DASH and has been available for nearly 12 months. Some users of 1.4.x have *"Rebuffering"* problems especially with live stream and particularly on Windows platforms when transcoding for SB3, Classic, Boom and Transporter. For users of 1.4.x to install change the repository in Settings/Plugins tab to *http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/betarelease-repo.xml* 1.5.x fixed two sources of the rebuffering problem and has been tested by a small number of users. 1.5.2 has a few small changes from 1.5.1. There is still a known rebuffering issue with live streams Windows system. The BBCiPlayer 1.5.2 has two settings which mainly of interest to Windows users. * "Seconds to delay start live stream" - This setting is for Windows systems - all other systems can leave at no delay or up to 15 secs. * "Buffer fullness threshold" - leave at 255. Too low a value can stop playback. On Windows with rebuffering may be useful to test reduction to 100 when playing 320kbps. For windows system adjusting the "Seconds to delay start live stream" setting can avoid rebuffering. The delay setting will be read each time a stream is started so no need to restart LMS between changes. For low power system and/or playing low data rate streams 48k/96k (e.g. non UK users) set to at least "1 mins" for 96k and "2 min" for 48k. For most Windows system of a few years old - use a delay of at least 15 secs. If rebuffering still occurs - increase and report to thread. The max value of 3 min in 1.5.1 does not work for higher end Windows system (e.g. typically i5/i7 4 core). V1.5.2 has a max delay of 6 min. If users of these system experience rebuffering/long start up on live streams try longer delays 4 min,5 min and 6 min and report if it helps. BBCiPlayer 1.5.2 Release notes - Increase "Live delay" range hopefully to fix Quad Core Windows problem - Fix cosmetic bugs which produced very large "!X seconds delay" after program names - DASH is the initial default playback format for Live and Listen Again for new installation. - Reduced "prefetch" buffer which will reduce number of "select kill task " messages in log. - No change has been made to HLS so rebuffering may still occur when playing HLS. - Added alternative menu for live streams using Limelight CDN. - Added alternative menu for live streams MP3 only but with metadata (make sure MP3 is a format in Live preferences). - Add "Buffer Threshold" as a setting. Affects DASH, HLS and Flash formats. BBCiPlayerExtra 1.9.5 Release Notes - FlashAAC should be a format in On Demand preferences as sometimes program is only available in Flash. - Fix to problem which could result in no programn playing or "competition is closed" message. - Fix to alllow playback of Flash format if available previously didn't work in all circumstances. - Fix to menu to allow access to "Listen Again" arhives where there are many programs usually beyond 30 days. - Addition of World Service menus allows access to very very many "Listen Again" programs bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106409 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

This thread is very long and dealt with initial DASH implementation problem.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBCiPlayer V1.5.2 beta test
After tidyup the code and turning off all the diagnostic message and doing final check before uploading - I got the rebuffering issue on my Win7 i5-3210m laptop. Once extra delay due to logging message were removed, it may have been enough to make the system fast enough to trigger the issue but using longer "live delay" seem to have been a workaround. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106409 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

If you have a password on your LMS, then metadata cannot be extracted from LMS. Other than that, on your Pi2, why not using squeezelite (piCoreplayer) instead of kodi?

The one I found was due to the App transitioning to full-screen in the background and iOS giving it landscape coordinates (even in portrait mode). Then when it re-transitions to the foreground it's correctly being displayed but then some delayed activity from the first transition kicks in an re-hides the overlay (because delayed transitions get suspended in the background and are only executed when the App comes back). I thought the landscape coordinates might be given to the app because it was originally launched in landscape mode, at least that was the easiest way for me to reproduce this.

If 1.4.9 has been working for you OK - then the installed settings should be OK as well. When playing a live stream if you have a long start delay or a burst of audio and then a long delay - then you should alter the delay setting. The user who needs to play with the settings are the ones which Live streams in DASH or HLS have been usable or nearly usable with logn start up delay. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106409 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Annouce: Squeeze Control, a squeezebox remote app, is now available for Android
I just noticed a couple of crash reports for a problem I thought I fixed. It only occurs in Android 7.0 or 7.1. The crashed I fixed happened when you've scrolled a long way down a long list and then put the app into the background. The two recent reports are from a Pixel and a Pixel XL. I been trying to reproduce it on my Pixel, but I couldn't get it to crash that way maybe because I don't I have a large enough music library to generate a long enough list. If anyone has a Android 7.0+ device, preferable a Pixel or Pixel XL, and the app crashes when it goes into the background or when you're switching apps, please tell me the details of when it happens. -- Squeezebox apps for webOS, Android and Windows Phone, http://www.angrygoatapps.com wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96757 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
