A lot of LMS users access live radio via a Favourites list.   This
option seems missing from the skill ... ?



LMS server: Pi Zero

Amp: Denon PMA-50

Players/Speakers:  Touch, Logitech Radios, Sonos Play 1s & Beam,
Libratone Zipp, GGMM E2 & E3, Yamaha WXAD-010, Loewe Airspeaker, Google

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 2.8.x - Spotify Connect for your Squeezebox

2019-09-25 Thread mherger


v2.8.5 is out there. This version hopefully will fix Spotty locking up
LMS when trying to get an access token.

We've seen Spotty completely blocking LMS for up to several minutes (for
those who decided to wait that long before killing LMS...). I've
previously tried to mitigate this issue. But it wasn't working on
Windows at all, and probably on none of the other platforms either... So
I totally rewrote this with a less elegant, but hopefully working
solution :-).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 2.8.x - Spotify Connect for your Squeezebox

2019-09-25 Thread Michael Herger

Two times within 10 minutes: at 17h53 and 17h59:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/84oqw3ysoq0woeo/server25-09.log?dl=0


But this time there was no token refresh around those issues. So that's 
not the trigger.


One more idea: go to Settings/Advanced/File Type. Disable Spotty -> Ogg 
Vorbis streaming.


FWIW: I just listened to 
https://open.spotify.com/album/30ibtgslgzmMRbQnWl9LTy?si=J0h02UHLSpW8H1YKVTIqXQ 
- which has three tracks longer than 10 minutes. No problem at all.

Correct: as you wouldn't get your own IP address, but only a virtual 
host name, a simple IP scanner wouldn't find your LMS. A visitor would 
need to know your host name. That's different from (and quite a bit more 
secure than) simple port forwarding on the router, where an IP scanner 
would find you.

Absolutely. If you already have a public IP address and cert (the hard

I agree. Serveo is the least attractive option, but I added it to the
list because people have preferences for ways of doing things and it's
yet another way. I have found it to be flaky as far as availability in
my testing.

If I were using serveo myself, I'd always combine it with apache as an
extra layer for auth. That way, serveo wouldf handle the 'front-end' of
me not having to open a port, not having to do DDNS, not get a cert. And
apache would do the 'back end' of forwarding the serveo tunnel through a
basic-auth capable local proxy in my network. Rather involved, but hey
there's more than one road that leads to Rome.

Serveo

You’d have to guess the unique part of the serveo host name and know
that 443 would expose 9000 but yes it must effectively be open.
It’s the simplicity and validity of the SSL cert that makes this
attractive if a little risky.

I’ll get myself an SSL cert for my router I think and use it’s in built
SSL web proxy

It's my understanding that this is not being used to protect access to 
the host, but the connection when using a custom domain of yours.


IMHO ngrok is kind of a cloud based reverse proxy with additional

But doesn't this require to expose your LMS to the internet? Don't be 
soothed by the use of https: if there's no password protection

Interesting approach.
The https section at https://smartskills.tech/mediaserver/#tab2 does a
good job of describing things.
It does mean that no LMS addon is required to be added into the local
LMS.
Will be interesting to see how many people go through the steps.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] 'MediaServer' *certified* Alexa skill for LMS

2019-09-25 Thread philchillbill


There's a new full-function *certified *Alexa skill to control LMS in
the Alexa skills store. It's called *MediaServer *and you can find it by
browsing under the category 'Music & Audio' or by doing a directed
search for any of LMS / Squeezebox / MediaServer in the Alexa app or
web-portal. Because this is a certified skill, it's available to anybody
with an Alexa/Echo device _without__any kind of developer or beta
accounts. During skill account-linking, you fill in an
externally-accessible _https__path to your LMS server and that's it. It
has been extensively tested on a library with 70K+ songs and supports a
natural, conversational interaction style. How well it will work for you
will, of course, depend on how good your tags are. It uses a freemium
model, and is available in English for both the en-US (for the USA) and
en-GB Amazon stores (26 countries in EU).

The skill supports 61 command categories, of which some examples:

Play the *album *Ghost Stories *by* Coldplay.
Play the *compilation *album American Road Trip.
Play the *single* Sunny Days *by *Armin van Buuren.
Play the *song *Chasing Cars *by *Snow Patrol.
Play songs *about *Girls.
Play songs *featuring *Eddie Vedder.
Play a *random album* by Steve Winwood.

Each Echo can be associated with a -default -Squeezebox ('assume') so as
to allow subsequent player-name omission in utterances. Echos in

other to avoid confusion around what player is thus targeted. Finally,
you can ask the skill to provide longer or shorter spoken
responses/confirmations.

Subscription: Certain of the above commands require a monthly
subscription which is handled as an ISP (In-Skill Purchase) by Alexa.
Say "Tell Media Server I want full access" and follow the spoken
instructions. You will need to have enabled voice purchasing in the
Alexa App (ask "Alexa, how do I enable voice purchasing").

My fault.
Was working fine when I chose to play by URL but I made a copy/paste
error when adding it as a favourite.
Now corrected the URL and all is well.

Hopefully because they have finished their preparation rather than
changing things because they have seen that they have been spotted.

I *think* that albums appear in the Favorites in date added order (most
recently added at the top), at least in IPeng.



Allo Digione Signature (+LiFePo Batteries), Touch, Metrum Jade, Bryston
B4 SST2, PMC OB1i speakers, HP Proliant Microserver/Ubuntu, PC/Windows

The non-UK version is live and broadcasting trailers now as well but 
AFAICT no realtime info (i.e.metadata and program images) 

NON UK

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Qobuz.com streaming plugin

2019-09-25 Thread tromstar


I'm loving listening to Qobuz in CD quality on my Squeezebox Touch. I
mainly listen to classical and Jazz recordings and concur with the above
that it would be nice to separate the individual works but my main
difficulty is that there doesn't seem to be any way to sort the favorite
albums into alphabetical (or any other) order, they just seem to appear
randomly making it very difficult to find anything when you have a large
number of favorites. I appreciate that I can search the whole of  qobuz
for a particular album, but finding a particular recording of say
Beethoven's 5th symphony is difficult unless you know all details
(conductor etc) of the recording that you are after especially if you
can only remember the album by it's cover art!

No idea and nothing in BBC vendor feeds show it. All the earlier info
indicated that it would be a DAB station so perhaps for broadcast rights
it may be UK only.  Some of the info in the web pages seems to indicate
a station id called bbc_radio_two_beatles

Until something is broadcast can't say where the program will turn up.  
I expect Extras will find them somewhere under A-Z as that is derived
from BBC web pages and BBC pages says "catchup on BBC Sounds"

If the id is real then the live UK-only iplayer URL may look like (with
R2 logo)
