Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 3.x - Spotify Podcasts on your Squeezebox

2019-12-27 Thread Michael Herger

I'm happily using Spotty, but this Christmas we splurged on a Family
Premium account and I'd like to assign an different Spotify account to
each individual Squeezebox. Grateful if someone could let me know how I
do this? I don't seen to have an "account" setting at the player level.


There's a setting in Spotty to enable an additional menu from where you 
can select the behaviour (Settings/Advanced/Spotty).

Alexa, stop

Alexa, stop play
Alexa, stop playing on [Player] // this did not work and I did not

Alexa, open Media Server
stop (all of the above)

Nothing but pulling the plug stopped Echo streaming.  I tested using and
Echo Dot in case the Show was being silly.

It's a puzzle.

Oh yes, that is the 2nd problem.  I shall wait for Stop/Pause to start

As for Pandora on the Echo via MS, I am not too worried since I have the

It "feels" like stream format or transcoding settings are not right -
this may be because of update after a v old version of plugin.

make sure the on demand and live preferences (under
Settings/Plugins/BBCiPlayer/Settings) are DASH > HLS > MP3 > FlashAAC

also make "allow transcoding" is checked.

After not using i-Player on my Duet for a few years I found it was of

I can navigate to the app in the Duet handset, then to choose a channel,

All my settings are default. The only thing I tried changing was to

I can see in the logs that the AMAZON.Pause intent is coming through for
you (both 'stop' and 'pause' produce that). She is not indicating an
error in processing it. It's not handled by the skill - I just get
notified of it in case I want to do anything too. It's normal that this
kind of AudioPlayback error is not anuniciated by her. Were you the guy
streaming Jethro Tull just now? You're on the us-east-1 endpoint?

I've never used Pandora. How is it set up with LMS - just a URL saved in
favorites? That should just play, unless Amazon has a block on Pandora
URLs or some such.

Most odd.  This is definitely not working.  MS will not stream my
favorites (all Pandora stations).  It shows that it is streaming on the
Echo Show screen but no sound.  This works fine using Play for LMS
devices.  

Streaming local media to an Echo can only be stopped by unplugging the
Echo.  Alexa, Stop does nothing but interrupt the stream whilst
processing the utterance.

I have done this a few times now and it is consistent.

Nah.  "Alexa, stop." does nothing.  I say it and it just goes back to
playing.  I also tried "Alexa, Pause."  That failed too.  I then opened
Media Server and did the same.  It just carried on playing.  SO, I
unplugged it and that stopped it when I plugged it back in again.

The new SSD is a Samsung T5 which is formatted to exFAT. Do I have to
reformat it to another file system to make it compatible with the

It's not a bug, it's a feature being used incorrectly :cool: If you look
at the very first post in this thread at the examples of the Stream
command, you'll see that you don't use a player name at all, as the Echo
you are talking to is always the target for Streaming:

Stream the album Parachutes by Coldplay
Stream the compilation album 101 Running Songs
Stream the single Alone Tonight by Above & Beyond
Stream my newest album by Peter Gabriel
Stream the song Chocolate by Snow Patrol
Stream songs about 'Alabama'
Stream songs featuring ATB
Stream a random album by Pink Floyd
Stream a random single by Shakira
Stream some Acid Jazz
Stream favorite number 7
Stream favorite 'FUNK FM'
Stream favorite 'Podcasts' item 3
Stream favorite folder 'Audiobooks' item 4
Stream favorite 2 . 4 . 2 (dot) 

Regarding stopping the stream, that's different to stopping a Squeezebox
playing. You don't use the skill name for this and just say "Alexa,
pause". Even if you say "Alexa, stop", she will actually just pause and
not stop so that you can resume later if you want (using - you  guessed
it:  "Alexa, resume"). For next and previous when Streaming, it's just
"Alexa, next" and "Alexa, previous". That's a side effect of the
streaming process using the Echo as playback device. The skill just
kicks that off and then backs off to let Alexa slurp data from LMS.
Influencing that process is then something that the Echo/Alexa does
somewhat outside the skill, as it were. Hence the omission of the skill
name. But this, of course, only applies to Streaming - for Playing on
Squeezeboxes the skill name is always required.

The Pandora issue is probably because you're not targeting favorite '3'
but favorite '3 on kitchen' which doesn't exist. Leave out the 'on
kitchen' and it should work. Again, no player names for Streaming !

When you are streaming to the Echo device you can use the regular Echo
commands to pause/stop ... so
Alexa Stop
should work

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

2019-12-27 Thread rederikus


@philchillbill, I am having a little trouble Streaming.  I have two Echo
Show 5s.  I give the command, "Alexa, open Media Server.", and then
"Stream some Jazz on Kitchen.", and it plays.  Now I cannot stop the
Stream.  Opening Media Server and saying, "Stop Stream on kitchen."
results in Media Server telling me that I do not have a player named
kitchen and would I like to look for one?  So far the only way I have
been able to stop the Stream to an Echo device is to power cycle it.

There also seems a problem with Streaming Pandora stations to Echo
players.  "Stream Favourite 3 on Kitchen." which is an Echo Show 5
results in Media Server taking the command and then doing nothing, no
music.  

Both commands work fine if I use the Play command to address LMS player
but Streaming to Echos, not so good.

I am not complaining.  I am just reporting what I said/did and what
happened.  Is this me, am I outside what Media Servewr can currently do
or, is this a bug?

Thanks
Pete

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Make Home Assistant start playback?

2019-12-27 Thread Rnee


Thanks for that link!

So, since it controls LMS and from what I see on that link, you cannot
get 1 player (from a synchronized group) start playing when for instance
there is movement in a room?
I will definitely have a look into it in the near future, first some
other things first.

I'm still in the process of getting Proxmox running with a VM and some
LXC's but it's a very nice discovery.

Hi again Paul

Ok that's nice!
So does HA control LMS or Squeezelite?
Maybe I did not search for the right keywords.
Can you please give me some pointers?
