I was just suggesting a hypothetical scenario. I have just tested
setting a default player (via 'Manage players' dialog), and Material is
always selecting this on start-up, even if I was using another player
when I closed Material.

So first there will be only the "Dachboden" player in the list and then
a little bit later there will be a new list with both players, but
Material gets the list before this happens? Correct?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] ANNOUNCE: AirPlay Bridge = integrate AirPlay devices with LMS (squeeze2raop)

2020-04-28 Thread david_phl


Hello,

Let me start by thanking Philippe_44 for his work on this marvelous
plugin and everyone that helps keep LMS alive! My squeezebox radios have
been in used for years but have slowly been replaced with Yamaha
MusicCast devices (a receiver and a couple of paired WX-030 speakers). I
was actually looking for a better (i mean faster browsing and no memory
leak) DLNA server than the Plex one and thought LMS could act as one. I
ended up here and i am really glad i did!

I do an issue/question regarding the volume control of my receiver:

- the receiver's volume goes from -80.0dB to +16.5db (or from 0 to 97 on
a numeric scale)
- i know the MusicCast app limits the max volume to 0db (or 80.5 in
numeric value)
- it also limits the max volume with Airplay to -20dB (or 60.5). It
seems like a standard practice with Yamaha receivers.

the latter is the max volume i can set from LMS (100 in LMS translate
into -20dB on the receiver). I do understand Yamaha's reason to limit
the max volume from a controler app but i find the Airplay limit quite
restrictive.

Is anyone aware of a way to circumvent that -20dB limit and at least be
able to set the max volume from LMS to 0dB? Could this be achieve by
adjusting the volume mapping parameters?

Thx!

No, currently the NowPlaying screen is not configurable. This mimicks

Please try to restart your server, this happens occasionally and it's a

that this is the information the server sends...

You're one the wrong (old) thread but the answer is that the audio is

This should have nothing to do with the app - its just a simple wrapper
around webview. If you set a player as default then it should be
selected when Material gets the list of players from LMS. If your
default player is not in the first list, then another player will be
chosen.

The problem is when switching the tablet on. It seems that Wifi is off

Is there anything I can do to let the "Material app" always chose Küche

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce - Song info plugin for ABC Australia radio

2020-04-28 Thread Paul Webster


This is a plugin for ABC Australia https://radio.abc.net.au/stations -
covering stations such as ABC Jazz, Double J, triple j unearthed

Depending on the station, it presents track information (Artist, Title,
Cover Art, Label, Year) or programme information (Title, Synopsis,
Artwork)

As an example - before you install the plugin play "ABC Jazz" or "ABC
Country" or "triple j" on your Squeezebox and you will see some limited,
if any, track info.

Then install this plugin and try again ... and watch the ABC website at
the same time - for example for "ABC Jazz"
https://radio.abc.net.au/stations/jazz/live

The best way to experiment with these stations in LMS is to go to the
Radio section and then choose  World > National Networks > ABC
Australia
They have over 50 (around 2/3 are speech only).

Note: The broadcaster does not always provide track information in a
timely manner - so if you find that sometimes no new details arrive then
check on the ABC site to see if they have the same problem.
They do generally provide the end time or duration for tracks so you
will probably see a progress marker as they play (unless it is a very
long track).
If it is a song inside a show then ... hopefully ... you will see it
switch to the programme info (with progress marker - again unless it is
a very long show) when the DJ is speaking.
Their timings are not always accurate though ... so don't complain if it
seems a few seconds out.
I'm trying to use the same data as their web site uses.

This plugin relies on the time on your local LMS server to be roughly
correct - timezone and time - because the local time is compared with
the scheduled time for each track from the broadcaster.
If things are not working then enable Debug logging for this plugin via
LMS/Settings/Advanced/Logging interface, repeat the problem and then
check the LMS logs.
You might need a version of LMS more recent than 7.9.1 Feb 2018 because
of improvements in LMS to handling HTTPS connections.

During development I was seeing issues with LMS/Jivelite not being able
to present some of the artwork.
This did coincide with nationwide issues with my ISP so that might have
been the cause.
However, I suspect it was to do with the size of some of their image.
They do make some alternative sizes available, so I have currently
hard-coded it to try to use an image no greater than 340x340 (which is
one of their common sizes).
If I cannot find one then I use their default (I have seen as big as
1400 x 1400).

There are still some issues that I am working on - but it seems to
mostly work.

This plugin relies on data from ABC Australia but is not endorsed by
them and it could easily break if they change their formats.

For now, during the first public testing phase, - add this repository to
your local LMS.
http://www.dabdig.co.uk/slimserver-rep/repo-abcaustralia.xml

Michael H - please don't put it in the list of 3rd-party plugins yet
because I will probably change the repo location once it has been
verified as working for a few people.

MP4 (doesn't matter which codec) files can be streamable or not -
streamable have an index into the the audio stream at the start (i.e. a
table of pointers to where in the file the audio stream starts and
various time points) - if this index is at the end (usually done by
single pass encoders)  then if the file is streamed to an ALAC/AAC
capable player - the player doesnt know where the audio begins until the
end of the file is sent. 

Rewriting the file with a two pass encoder usually puts the index at the
start of the file.

ffnpeg calls "streamable" - "mov flags faststart" as "mov" is an MP4
atom for the audio part.

I honestly have no idea. 
CD's ripped with iTunes always work fine with piCorePlayer. Files bought
through Qobuz sometimes don't want to play on piCorePlayer while they
play just fine in iTunes. When that happens I simply have iTunes rewrite
the file. After that, they play fine on piCorePlayer. 
I can't remember the exact phrasing but someone on this forum (a long

ways. And piCorePlayer seems to be picky at how they are constructed.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)

2020-04-28 Thread armin


I go my hands on a cheap Google Nest Mini to play around with. After
installing the plugin and selecting the binary the player turned up
nearly immediately. Kudos philippe_44! Great job.

I then spent some time to get synchronized playback working. Sadly to no
avail. I am using a picorePlayer as server which is streaming to another
piCorePlayer connected via HDMI to a receiver and the Nest Mini. 
Playing around with the mini's "player audio delay" and "player start
delay" did not lead to any stable results. Even when the sound was
synchronized during one track synchronization could be lost with the
next.

Is this something which could work with the correct (transcoding?)
settings, or is the playback of chromecast devices unstable no matter
what?

Yes, but if the connection takes longer than 5 seconds it shows the
settings page. If the app had an invalid IP/address configured it
sometimes took a while (30 seconds?) for the initial load attempt to
fail. Hence waiting 5 seconds. For 0.0.3 I've changed this again, after
the 1st 5 seconds it will attempt to discover the server automatically.
Only if that fails will it show the settings dialog. Thinking about this
now, I might also increase this 5 seconds to 10 seconds...

FWIW I also find the info about current track useful. I'd noticed it had
stopped working but hadn't yet investigated why.

Probably nothing except it's the one I have installed as it works well
with and was recomended by Orangesqueeze when I originally installed it
some years back.

It's not really a big chore to start it manually on the odd occasions I
want to use it but it would be nice to have it automated.

Couldn't get the .1 version to work but the new .2 seems to work really
well - thanks for the effort in producing this.

Probably quite a few DACs don't display bit depth, so that may explain
why this wasn't picked up earlier. The Hi-Fi Cable virtual audio
device's control panel display is quite useful for testing Windows audio
device setting software.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] ANNOUNCE: YouTube Plugin (API v3)

2020-04-28 Thread Squid


I guess I don't need to hold my breath. I realized that YouTube Music in
LMS would require there being an API key, similar to what you do with
YouTube for this plugin. A quick google revealed that there is no API
key yet. Also on : https://developers.google.com/products/develop/#y
there is mention of YouTube, but not of YouTube Music. So right now I'm
afraid it's not even possible to have any integration with YouTube
Music.

It's much less separate than you make it believe. In YouTube Music
(whether app or website) do a search for an artist and/or song/album
there, and you will immediately see that it returns matches from the
video service. Content seems to be divided in Video, Songs, Albums,
Artists and Playlists. The Video and Playlist sections are 100% Youtube
video service content, and includes tons of unofficial, often fan-based,
material. In fact, the YouTube uploader is even mentioned under the
title.
I do think/suspect/hope that if you filter on Albums and Songs, you only
get officially released music and is where it is similar to Spotify and
which I would like to be able to play through LMS.
