Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl

 I just upgraded Squeezeboxserver from 7.4.2 to 7.5. I have used
 SrvPowerCtrl only to monitor idle players and to suspend the server

 server is no longer suspended. I checked the SrvPowerCtrl menu and
 recognized that the entry Clear Block is shown (which usually means
 that a block is set to prevent suspend). I then tried to clear the
 block. After clicking on Clear Block message appears Clearing block
 and after a while Block cleared, but in fact the block is NOT cleared
 since after again entering the SrvPowerCtrl menu it is still shown
 Clear Block and the server does not suspend after idle time.
 
 I then deinstalled SrvPowerCtrl and installed the latest beta version
 (v20100101.164543), restarted the server but nothing changed. I am
 running SBS on Ubuntu 9.04.
 
 Is this a known incompatibility with SBS 7.5?
OK, I spent a lot of time cleaning up the blocking code.  But this bug
seems to have been intermittent.  I.E. I don't really know if I've fixed
it or not.  But give the new beta code a try and see if it solves the
problem.

Thanks.

Sorry, you are quite correct - of topic!

I'm running version 1.4 of GenPUID, and 1.8b6 of MusicIP.  Seems
GenPUID 1.4 is the newer bit.  I can't find any where to download
version 1.9 of MusicIP - 1.8 is what is available on the

I also posted in this (more relevant) thread :

Audiomuze kindly put a zip file of MIP1.9 for Windows on RapidShare but
that has expired.

Using the MIP client is fine to do the fingerprinting, but I was hoping
to make it more automated using GenPUID.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP - Analysis vs. Validation

2010-01-15 Thread chris . mason

Hi all,

I'm getting a little confused...

I've followed the various wiki pages, but I'm still not clear on what
the difference is between the Validation function, provided by the web
interface to the MusicIP server, and Analysis, as carried out by the
MusicIP application or through GenPUID.

Can anyone give me a clear explanation of the difference?

I've been using MIP headless for a few years now.  I just recently
completely rebuilt by music server.  Unfortunately, I missed some vital
files to backup, which has meant I've needed to install MusicIP from
scratch.

The first time I had MIP installed, I scanned my music library using
the MIP application, but when I subsequently added new music, I did this
through the MIP server web interface - using Add Music, then clicking
the Validate button.  This would take a few minutes, then when I
refreshed the music library on SlimServer/SqueezeBoxServer, these songs
would appear, and would be MIP mixable.

So I've assumed all this time, that Validate served the same purpose
as Analyse.   Is that wrong?  Is the fact that these songs appeared is
MIP mixable not accurate?

Thanks
Chris.

SBS 7.5 Windows nightlies.

I've just noticed that Album Flow has appeared in as an item in My

on my Radio. I'm not sure howe it got there or if it has been there a
while and I've only just got around to noticing it. It doesn't appear on
my Touch (and I can't sem to work out how to instll it).

Anyway, it is very nice and I was surprised how much I like seeing the
album covers (not ever having missed them when selecting music via the
Squeezebox interfaces).

Two questions/requests:

1) really like to browse backwards as well (i.e. from A to Z rather
than having to go form A to Z). Is this not possible?
2) Is there anyhting I can do to make the flow a bit smoother.

I have about 2k albums all with 300x300 pixel covers.

It looks like audio data is not being sent by BBC, being blocked by

increasing WebUI Settins/Advanced/Network/Radio Station Timeout to say
20 secs and see if it makes a difference.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer stopped working - hangs on Waiting to sync

2010-01-15 Thread rbl

There are 2 SB3s on the setup, one of which is often off. Quite often I
will get the waiting to sync message, but quite often it doesn't work
even if the SB3 / SS are not sync'd and I just try to play the iPLayer
on SS. Sometimes I can see it buffering, maybe get a split second of
sound, and then it will stop. All a bit unpredictable. Odd since
everything else works.

E.g. right now I have them unsync'd, SS will play other radio stations
quite happily, but will play nothing on iPlayer. If I try to play
iPLayer the sound just goes dead (with the VU meters where they left off
from playing the previous radio station). It says BBC Radio 4 in the Now
Playing screen but nothing is happening. If I go back to play a normal
radio station again then everything is fine, sync'd or unsync'd.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP - Analysis vs. Validation

2010-01-15 Thread Siduhe

My understanding is that analysis and validation are two parts of the
same process, and are performed whether you use the server or the
headless web interface.  First of all, MusicIP does an analysis of the
track, then it check to see if the fingerprint created during the
analysis process is already in the MIP database (accessed over the
internet). If there is, it applies the database info to the track. If
not, it generates a more detailed fingerprint (that's when you see the
validating bit if you are using the application interface and that's
what takes the most time). 

From the MIP Help pages (thanks to the WayBack Machine):

Musicip Help Wrote: 
 What does it mean when MusicIP Mixer is validating my digital music
 collection? How long does it usually take?
 Validation checks to see if our server already has info on that
 particular song. If the song has been analyzed before, it can be
 validated. If the song has never been analyzed, then analysis is sent to
 the server.
 
 Validation speed depends on your processor speed and the overlap
 between your personal music library and our master database. If the song
 is a part of our master database, it will only need to be fingerprinted,
 which should take approximately 2-3 seconds per song. If the song is not
 a part of our master database, it will need to be fully analyzed, which
 is more like 80% of the song's length.
 
 How long should the analysis take?
 All answers depend on available CPU and memory, but in general,
 fingerprinting will take between 5 and 10 seconds per song, and analysis
 will take approximately 80% of the song's playing time.
 
 Note: If the central server already has an analysis stored for your
 songs, you only have to wait for the fingerprinting. Similarly, any
 analysis performed by your machine will be uploaded to the central
 server for others to use.

Yes but the BBciPlayer has two parts - getting data from RTMP packets
and then passing AAC audio to players. Problem solving is about
isolating the issue.

The illstreet48.pls stream is an AAC stream which makes it near
identical to 2nd part of BBciPlayer - so it looks like the problem is
not related to transcoded streams which I know SS still has some
specific problems in relation to syncing.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] PowerSwitch II

2010-01-15 Thread William Harmony

I am planning to use PowerSwitch in a slightly different manner: 
instead of turning on/off an amplifier, I want to use the plugin to
control a CMOS analog switch to choose between the SB3 and another
input.

My question:  Is there a state variable within SqueezeCenter that tells
whether the client is in Play mode?  If so, would it then be feasible
to check for Play status rather than Power status?

The objective is that it would not switch the audio until the SB3 was
actually playing something.  For instance, if I paused the SB3 the audio
would switch back to the other source.

Thanks,
Bill

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer stopped working - hangs on Waiting to sync

2010-01-15 Thread bpa

I ran some tests with BBCiPlayer playing live streams with an SB3 and
Softsqueeze 3.9b1 on an SBS 7.5 Ubuntu system (both SBS and SS on
Unbuntu) .  Audio synced very well and no crashes.  It is possible that
the BBC stream which is 48k may be slightly different but since the
stream gets transcoded into Flac

So I think the problem may be SBS config, Windows, or system related.
- When playing BBCiPlayer streams is it using AAC format and if so have
you altered the standard AAC filetypes setting ?
- What speed of processor and memory is your SBS server ?
- What version of Java have you installed ?
- Is your SBS wired or wireless to internet ?
- What are the Audio settings of your Softsqueeze ?
- Do you have a special audio card in your PC or is it standard
on-board ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SuperDateTime - Current Date/Temperature and/or Baseball Screensaver

2010-01-15 Thread GoCubs

I've gone ahead and posted 5.8.12 to www.gregbrown.net.

What's new:
If you didn't notice, weather.com changed their website substantially. 
Of course this threw off the parsing.

This version is my *initial* parsing update.  More updates to come. 
Notable things missing in this version are the long weather forecasts
and the barometer trend direction indication.

If you check out a local listing on weather.com for a 48 contiguous
state you'll notice they now separate data a bit differently with one
section for next 6 hours containing one TruPoint value and another
section for the next 24 hours containing two values.  Sort of like the
past, I'm showing all three values via the up/down remote scroll
buttons.

If your weather identifier isn't for the 48 contiguous states the next
6 hour section has 3 reads for each of the next two hours.  In this case
I show the middle reading and the estimated temp instead of the hi/low
value.

Personally I'm not a fan of the new page content, but I'll work with
what they give us.

If you have any suggestions on how I should display the new content,
please let me know.

main repo provided by Slim Devices.

Unless you're familiar with Perl code and want to get your feet wet
you'll need to move to 7.4.  Various changes of the plugin had to be
made to support 7.4 which are not downward compatible.  If you are a

FWIW, I never lost faith, Greg. :)
I understand the perils of page scraping and it's really too bad
weather.com doesn't offer an API of some sort.
Although I understand why they don't - advertising dollars - it's still
too bad.

Anyway, take your time. People can always use their Squeezebox to tune
to a local radio station and get their weather the old fashioned way.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezeplay or Softsqueeze?

2010-01-15 Thread jrbzzz

As a new user of a Squeezebox Boom (portable) and classic (hooked to HT
setup) I am looking for a way to pipe music from my NAS running
Squeezebox Server to a basement PC.  I've tried both SoftSqueeze 3.8 and
the current nightly version of SqueezePlay.  I do not need to control
anything from this PC, just want to play my MP3s and occasionally listen
to internet radio.  

So far I found SqueezePlay to be so buggy as to be unusable (locks up
frequently, most internet radio streams either unsupported format or
play at wrong speed).  SoftSqueeze also fails to play many internet
streams, but otherwise seems to work OK for my uses.  

What I'd like to know is if there is a benefit to moving to the beta
3.9 version of SoftSqueeze, and/or is there something i can fix with
SqueezePlay that will make it better for what I want to do?  Thanks for
the info.

Great that it seems to be working again.  

How do you actually update the plugin.  I get it through the repository
I think, since my Plugins directory is empty.  Do I have to uncheck
SuperDateTime under Server Settings/Plugins, restart SqueezeCenter, and
then check it again under 3rd party plugins, restart again, and hope
that all settings are still there?  Or is there an easier way.

Hi Mitch-

Thanks for the support :)  From what I've heard they do offer an
official API, but it comes with restrictions and the data feed isn't
updated as often as their website.

Also, I didn't cross post to this thread, but on the main SDT thread
you'll see that I've posted an updated version with 'initial' parsing
updates.

Waiting for a while to see how every was going with the batch of iPhone
Controllers for Squeeze's and what seemed to be the most stable
offering.

I downloaded iPeng last night, within minutes I was controlling
everything without really any configuration.  It just worked.  I had
expected to have to play around to get it configured to work but really
had to do nothing.  The only issue I had was trying to figure out how to
turn the power on the squeeze devices and that took only a few minutes
to get sorted out.

For what I need it is the perfect controller, fast and easy to use.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezeplay or Softsqueeze?

2010-01-15 Thread bpa

Use Softsqueeze 3.9b1 - it is only beta because there are a few more
minor bugs (that are also in 3.8) that I hoped to fix but haven't had
time.

Softsqueeze and Squeezeplay cannot play WMA natively (only MP3 and
Flac) and so you will often get unsupported format.  If you are using
a non Windows based SBS (wehic is typical for a NAS)  then you need to
install WMA support although this is not possible on all NAS.

More detailed info about problem and your whole SBS system (i.e. what
is the exact type of NAS) will enable more specific advice to be
offered.

The processor is AMD Athlon XP 2800+. If I remember correctly the

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl

2010-01-15 Thread gharris999

With this latest beta, I've made some changes to the block-file
mechanism.  Block-files are a way for you to inhibit SrvrPowerCtrl
actions without having to use the CLI.  SrvrPowerCtrl always checks for
the existence of the block-file before taking any action.

With this latest beta, for windows 7  vista, the block-file
location\filename has been changed to %PROGRAMDATA%\TEMP\spc-block

For Windows XP, the block-file remains %WINDIR%\temp\spc-block

For all other OSs, the block-file remains /var/lock/spc-block

If you're using block-files to inhibit SrvrPowerCtrl, remember that on
the non-windows OSs, you'll need to give the
squeezecenter/squeeeboxserver user permissions to the block file in
order for SrvrPowerCtrl to be able to remove the block-file, if directed
to through the webUI or through the CLI.

Also new in this latest beta: you can now create and delete block-files
via the CLI:

srvrpowerctrl setblock blockfile viacli

Srvrpowerctrl clearblock blockfile viacli

Also, the 'listblock' CLI action now accurately reflects the existence
of block-files.

Remember, on linux, /var/lock/spc-block gets cleared automatically by
the OS on reboot.  For all other OSs, including OSX, you'l need to clear
the block-file yourself.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Does iPeng work wth wired squeezebox?

2010-01-15 Thread djtex

Sounds like a silly question I know, but can't find an answer anywhere.
I have a wired (non-wireless) squeezebox and all works fine. However, I
have just added a wireless router to my network that the squeezebox is
on. I use this for wifi on my iPhone. Will iPeng therefore work as the
iPhone is wirelessly connected to the network?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but they are only easy when you

2010-01-15 Thread pippin

djtex;506721 Wrote:

Yep.
The answer is: iPeng needs to talk to your server (if you use a local
one) or needs internet access to MySqueezebox.com if you don't use a
local server.
If you use a WiFi router that router will typically reside on your
local network so this should not be an issue.

Configurations like a computer (as a server) with a hard-wired
connection to the Squeezebox and a WiFi connection between the computer
and the router will thus work, too.

There is one case where you might need some manual configuration, and
that is if your router uses a different subnet for the WiFi network and
for the wired network (where your server is on), e.g. 192.168.0.x vs.
192.168.1.x.
In this case the server discovery might not work and you need to set
your server's IP address manually.

 in Settings/Home Menu.
 
It has always been there on the Radio and Controller. It's not on the
Touch because I haven't figured out how to implement slide gestures
yet.
Please note that the Radio and Controller using 7.4 firmware will run
out of memory after a while due to a bug in the firmware, Logitech has
fixed it in the 7.5 version of the firmware which the Touch uses.

It's not possible yet, this is just a early prototype to show the
concept.

 2) Is there anything I can do to make the flow a bit smoother?
 
It got slower on my Touch when I enabled TinySC. If you goto the

 1) *Even*more impressive there due to larger screen, especially when

Yes, the screen saver mode on the Touch is pretty nice. Note that there
are several of them which is quite nice during Now Playing, for example
scrolling between all albums of the currently playing artist.

ModelCitizen;506566 Wrote: 
 
 2) I still think it needs to be a smoother flow though. It's definitely
 too jerky.
 
I haven't done much optimization yet, however, the problem is the CPU
or memory usage. I could cache more data but that would use too much
memory, I could let the server to more work but that would make it
really slow for people that run TinySC.

ModelCitizen;506566 Wrote: 
 
 3) I think I'd prefer a small (black, shadow, bevel etc) delineation

Everything I draw on the screen takes time, so I'm not sure it's a good
idea to add too much extras. I'd prefer to use that CPU power to get it
less jerky instead.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezeplay or Softsqueeze?

2010-01-15 Thread jrbzzz

Thanks, i will try 3.9b when I get a chance.

The only issues I have with the current SoftSqueeze are (1) inability
to play some radio stations (assuming WMA), (2) cannot login to
mysqueezebox.com. (3) cannot use some services such as Live365.  None of
these is a huge impact as I don't use this computer that often.  I also
understand that I may be able to fix #1 and #2 with info on this forum.

FYI, I am using a Synology DS209 with their tweaked version of
Squeezebox Server 7.4.1.  This works great with my Boom and Classic.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl

2010-01-15 Thread dip

I installed the latest beta version, but unfortunately the block still
can't be cleared. I even rebooted the server but this did not change
anything. After clicking on Clear block the messages Clearing block
and then Block cleared appear but in the SvrPowerCtrl menu the entry
still reads Clear Block wich means it is not cleared.

Anything else I can test?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezeplay or Softsqueeze?

2010-01-15 Thread bpa

To play WMA on Softsqueeze you need WMA support to transcode - for DS209
this usually means using a special version of mplayer which is provided
with SSODS (  http://oinkzwurgl.org/ssods ).  I don't know if the DS209
has rhe processing power to transcode WMA streams.

Softsqueeze  effectively emulates an SB1 which means it must run
connected to a local SBS - it can never connect to mysb.com.  To use
mysb.com services such as Pandora - you will need to enable proxied
streaming in the SBS Settings for the Softsqueeze player.  This may
also enable Live365 but I'm not sure.

 I could take a look at Dynamic Playlist and SugarCube 2.03 code in
 combination to see where the issue lies, but don't know where to start. 
 Any pointers?

Dynamic Playlist uses two functions in its integration:
- getDynamicPlayLists
- getNextDynamicPlayListTracks

So these are probably a good place to start. I think the wiki

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Moose 0.72

2010-01-15 Thread Webkemmi

Hi Dr. Lovegrove

first of all, I'm a great fan of moose and use it every day!
There is only one behavior which is really annoying:
when I add one ore more albums to SBC, I start a rescan on SBC to
integrate the new albums and tracks to the database. In moose I also
rescan the MySQL db and the albums are being added to the moose db. They
are also shown in moose's cover chooser, but when I right click one of
the new albums all track numbers aren't shown in order of the track
numbers. This happens with all SBC versions I tried. In the moment I run
SBC 7.5 nightly versions.
The problem can be only solved by deleting the SBC database and a
complete new scan in SBC and moose. Since I have a very large db, this
takes a long time.
Is there a posibility to solve this?
Thank you in advance and please keep refining moose since we urgently
need this great app ;-) 

Stefan

Thanks for that.  Are you saying that 'Lazification' never finishes? 
Or that Lazysearch fails to clear the block?

Just speculating here, but with 7.5, SBS's automatic 'scan for new' is
defaulted to ON.  That means that every time SBS is started, the scanner
is run.  This may, in turn, trigger an automatic 'Lazification' scan. 
Look in the 7.5 settings and see if there is a way to disable the auto
scans.  Then reboot the server and see if LazySearch is better behaved.

 I have now tried the plugin on 3 different machines and still can't get
 the plugin to work with SBS 7.4.1! Over the weekend I had some spare
 time so I did some testing on an older Dell laptop (running XP SP3), and
 this is what I found:
 SC 7.3.3Works
 SC 7.3.4Works
 SBS 7.4.0...Does not work
 SBS 7.4.1...Does not work
 SBS 7.4.2...Does not work
 SBS 7.5.Does not work
 
 I did not try it on the Mac (in case things got screwed up).
 One thing I noticed was the SC versions are running Perl 5.8.8, whereas
 the newer SBS versions are running Perl 5.10.0. Is Perl embedded in the
 server software? If so could it be a conflict with the installed version
 of Perl (5.10.0) on Mac OS 10.6.2? (i.e. both trying to run at the same
 time). Don't know if I am out to lunch on this one.

I personally am still using 7.3.4, but I've tested on 7.4.2.  I'll give
it a whirl again and make sure I was't just hallucinating.  At least
there is some consistency in your results.

The reason I ask is that it has felt like the Dynamic Playlist
integration is pretty different from the other SugarCube usage so it
might even be easier to maintain it if it was a separate plugin. It
won't work if you use all the SugarCube features, as that would mean
duplicating a lot of code. 

However, if you are just looking for a way to select which recipe or

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] SuperDateTime stopped working ?

2010-01-15 Thread marla

Greg:

I'm new here, but your SDT plugin is the first one I installed, and it
is great! Cheers.

I had a look at the upgrade history on your website, and I notice
you've so far only updated the plugin for those running 7.4.x server
versions. I appreciate you're trying to fix the problem, but can I put
in a polite request for those of us still using 7.3.3 or similar that
when you've got it working again you give us a version as well? (Am wary
of upgrading my server due to the issues well documented throughout this
forum.)

Thanks for all your work and helping so many of us without your
programming ability.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Spicefly SugarC ube Version 2.03 – (Automatic MusicIP DJ) for 7. x

2010-01-15 Thread Phil Meyer
The reason I ask is that it has felt like the Dynamic Playlist
integration is pretty different from the other SugarCube usage so it
might even be easier to maintain it if it was a separate plugin. It
won't work if you use all the SugarCube features, as that would mean
duplicating a lot of code. 

However, if you are just looking for a way to select which recipe or
filter to use, a separate plugin might not be a bad idea.

My main reason for using DynamicPlaylist is to wrap SugarCube such that it can 
be played as an alarm clock music source.  I configure SugarCube to use a 
certain filter.  It picks a random starting track, and then wanders off from 
that in the morning.

I would like a way to configure the initial seed (I think once upon a time I 
could select and queue a single song in the evening, so it used that as the 
starting song, but I think it hasn't used that for a long time and uses a new 
arbitrary starting track when the alarm fires).  I was playing with ideas like 
starting an alarm initially to play a single random song from a defined 
playlist of good wake-up songs, and then a second alarm fire a few seconds 
later to play SugarCube, using the current playing song as a seed.


I think I'm making a bit of progress.  Updating to 7.5/trunk tonight and using 
SugarCube 2.03, I'm not getting as many errors.  I figured that there was an 
issue with the dynamic SQL that sugarcube was building up - it has in it a 
hard-coded database name when identifying tables, eg. slimserver.albums.  My 
own MySQL instance has a different database name (as I have various versions 
running in parallel - various beta ones), so I just removed the database name.

I can see that within getNextDynamicPlayListTracks, it is selecting a track to 
play, and returns a valid track:

[23:34:46.4357] Plugins::SugarCube::Plugin::getNextDynamicPlayListTracks (1357) 
returning to Dynamic Playlist 
file:///M:/Music/Phil%27s%20Music/Rock/Badly%20Drawn%20Boy/About%20a%20Boy/16%20-%20Donna%20and%20Blitzen.mp3

However, nothing actually plays, so maybe the format that this is being 
returned in is wrong.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Weather Screensafer for Radio/Touch/Controller

2010-01-15 Thread emair

Can the screensaver pass along key press events to the device? For
instance, I have the weather come up while listening to the device. If I
press the power button to turn the radio off, the screensaver just goes
away and I am back at the usual currently playing screen. Then I hit
power _again_ to actually get it to turn off. So, if the radio is not
'off', can the screensaver pass the keypress to the OS?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Spicefly SugarC ube Version 2.03 – (Automatic MusicIP DJ) for 7. x

2010-01-15 Thread Phil Meyer
I think it would therefore be safe to assume that Dynamic Playlist
functionality doesnt work ;)

I've had a quick look through the code patched it up, so it seems to be working 
for me.

I think my changes are limited to the getNextDynamicPlayListTracks method that 
Erland pointed me at.

I've added some debug logging.

I changed the line that searches for a random song so that when there's no seed 
track it only finds a mixable song from the database (via 
'musicmagic_mixable'=1).  I guess you don't want this, as your SugarCube 
plugin doesn't rely on the MusicIP plugin having retrieved mixable status?  
However, I think this means that it could end up selecting a track that is not 
mixable in MIP, and therefore would stop after one song (or does it then select 
another random song?  Not sure how this works regarding the chosen 
filter/recipe settings, i.e. a totally random song may not be a song for the 
desired SugarCube settings (filter set to Rated 5* for example, and random 
song could be anything).

I changed the logic so that it doesn't try to select a similar song for the 
random chosen song, as selecttrack only works based on the currently playing 
song, but the random song isn't playing yet.


sub getNextDynamicPlayListTracks {
my ($client,$dynamicplaylist,$limit,$offset,$parameters) = @_;
my $song = undef;
my $currentSongTrack = undef;
my $track;

$log-debug(getNextDynamicPlayListTracks);

# If this isn't the first time
if($offset) {
# Base mix of last returned song for this player
$song = $lastDynamicPlaylistTrack{$client};
}

# If this is the first time or no suitable song has been selected yet
if(!defined($song)) {
# Base mix of currently playing song
$currentSongTrack = Slim::Player::Playlist::song($client);
if(defined($currentSongTrack)  
Slim::Music::Info::isFileURL($currentSongTrack-url)) {
$song = $currentSongTrack-url;
}else {
$currentSongTrack = undef;
}
}
# If no suitable start track was found, base start of mix of a random 
track
if(!defined($song)) {
$log-info(no current song, so find a random song);
# Only search for local songs that we know are mixable
$track = 
Slim::Schema-rs('Track')-search({'audio'=1,'remote'=0,'musicmagic_mixable'=1},{
 'order_by' = \'RAND()'})-first;
$song = $track-url;
$log-info(selected random song is $song);
}
else
{
my $mytitle = SaveMyCurrentTrack($client,$song);
#  Strip and Store played track Latin1 format
my $mypageurl = buildMIPReq($client, $mytitle); 
# Routine to get MIP settings and build MIP request

my $diditwork = SendtoMIPSync($client,$mypageurl);  
if ($diditwork eq 1)
{
$log-debug(SendtoMIPSync worked);
$track = selecttrack($client, \...@unique); 
# Randomly select track
$#unique = -1;  # 
Finished with our Unique Tracks Array, wipe it for reuse
}
else
{
$log-debug(SendtoMIPSync didn't work);
}
}

my @result = ();

if($track) {
$log-debug(returning to Dynamic Playlist $track);
$lastDynamicPlaylistTrack{$client} = $track-url;

# If we started on currently playing song we need to return 
that song first
if(defined($currentSongTrack)) {
push @result,$currentSongTrack,
}
# Add new song retreived from MusicIP
push @result,$track;

} else {
$log-error(Couldn't find track for: $track);
}
return \...@result; 
}

If you're interested, I can send you my modified Sugarcube 2.03 Plugin.pm file 
(or try to make a diff).

 Thanks for that.  Are you saying that 'Lazification' never finishes?  Or
 that LazySearch fails to clear the block when it is finished?I don't know, it 
 seems as if Lazification never finishes. When I invoke
LazySearch I get the message: 

[10-01-16 01:49:31.3969] Plugins::LazySearch2::Plugin::__ANON__ (284)

This happend more then 5 hours after the server started, so all scans
and lazfification should have been finished a long time ago.

And after each server restart I get the message:

This seems also not ok to me.

gharris999;506828 Wrote: 
 
 Just speculating here, but with 7.5, SBS's automatic 'scan for new' is
 defaulted to ON.  That means that every time SBS is started, the scanner
 is run.  This may, in turn, trigger an automatic 'Lazification' scan. 
 Look in the 7.5 settings and see if there is a way to disable the auto
 scans.  Then reboot the server and see if LazySearch is better behaved.I did 
 not find such an option. And I think that should not be the
problem, since even when the scanner was started after SBS was started,
after more then 5 hours every scan should be finished and the above
first message should not be shown.

Does LazySearch2 use the same block as SvrPowerCtrl?

Another adjustment needed - after calling selecttrack to choose the next track 
from MIP matches, it needs to get a track object from the url:

my $seltrack = selecttrack($client, \...@unique);
$track = 
Slim::Schema-rs('Track')-objectForUrl($seltrack);

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl

2010-01-15 Thread gharris999

dip;506924 Wrote: 
 Does LazySearch2 use the same block as SvrPowerCtrl?
No, but yes.  SrvrPowerCtrl is smart enough to know when a regular
audio library scan is taking place and interprets that as a busy
signal.  But SrvrPowerCtrl doesn't know anything about LazySearch scans.
Stewart was kind enough to include code in his plugin that calls the
blocking mechanism in SrvrPowerCtrl.  So, it's LazySearch that's telling
SrvrPowerCtrl that 'Lazyfacation' is in process and please don't
interrupt it.  It does this by setting a SrvrPowerCtrl block and then
clearing the block once the Lazification scan is complete.

To me, it seems like the problem is most likely one of the following:

Lazifacation is taking a really, really long time.  You might ask
Stewart if 5+ hours is beyond the realm of reason here.

The Lazyifacation scan dies somewhere along the line and thus
LazySearch never frees it's requested block because it never gets the
message that the scan is complete.  You might ask Stewart if there is a
log entry you ought to look for that would indicate that the scan
croaked.
