OK, Thanks Much!  -- I had forgot about a few of these parameters. And
setting them the way you recommended has corrected the tracks I was
having problems with. I am going to play with this again over the

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Radio Now Playing plugin

2021-10-08 Thread Paul Webster

The reflex has to find the unique string that identifies the station.
It is supposed to the the ${cap} pseudo field.
But there are a few hacks and tricks behind the scenes that I have put
in over the last couple of years that might work.
So don’t worry - I’ll work out a way to do it.

OK, I can check the streams I have added, and if there will be some
problem I can change the regex :) Only the albumart (image) I don't know
how to fix, it is still the same. I think it should change, at least
based on the code I've seen (coverfields: asset). I think you are taking
image from "asset" node from this file

2021-10-08 Thread Cut-Throat


I posted quite a bit about this problem last year, and so I thought I'd
take another try at it. The Chromecast Bridge is a very useful pluggin
for myself and Audiophile Buddies What we are trying to do is just
display the Album Art on our TVs while the Chrome-cast is synced to
another Raspberry Pi Player.

The main problem we are having is when using Qobuz and when playing a
Hi-Res Track, it will cause a number of problems, sometimes causing the
track to stop playing entirely. This is with the Chromecast synced to
the Raspberry Pi.  The Rpi is the master and the Chromecast is the
Slave. But even in this configuration the Chromecast will cause the
track to quit playing and basically 'freeze' the entire process. Only to
start up again and freeze a minute later. Removing the Chromcast Slave
and replaying the Track will correct the problem This track was
reproducible for me.

Ah - you added in TuneIn ids - thanks.
I am in UK and TuneIn hides lots of stations because of a legal issue so
it is a pain for me to find them and put them in.

Note - I won't be using logos from there though so will have to make new
ones.

Were your changes to add the extra stations and no modifications of the
pre-existing ones?

I just tried the 4 stations in my initial list and they all worked fine
- each showing different data that seemed to match what was being
broadcast.
Can you give an example of what you see that is wrong?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Looking for someone willing to update Inguz EQ/DRC settings page

2021-10-08 Thread Apesbrain

> Thank you Apesbrain for your help and patience!
Glad it worked out.  IIRC, you are trying to EQ headphones; you might
find it easier to use another "real-time" equalizer program to get your
headphones sounding the way you want, then duplicate those settings in
Inguz.  This should be less frustrating and faster than dealing with the
"delayed reaction" of Inguz settings changes.

One issue you may run into is that Inguz EQ center frequencies are not
easily changeable.  Use the default center frequencies, then save your
settings as a preset.  Open the folder on your server:
%PROGRAMDATA%\INGUZEQ\SETTINGS.  You'll find a settings file there that
corresponds to the name of your preset.  By editing this file, you
should be able to change the center frequencies.  Remember to restart
the Logitech Media Server/SqueezeSvr service after any changes.

This BAT file will initiate a service restart:


Code:

@echo off
  net stop squeezesvc
  timeout /t 5
  net start squeezesvc


Just put a shortcut to it on your desktop.

My mistake Paul. I should have said Alexa and/or Google. 

My Home Assistant implementation is quite recent and I'm still trying to
figure out if this offers an easier/more secure/more robust/more cost
effective option for voice control, or not. I have Amazon Prime and a
couple of Echos but also lots of Google Android devices so all options
open.

If you do want Alexa then search this forum and you will find at least 3

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: LMS Controls - Google Home / Google Assistant Voice Control of LMS Players

2021-10-08 Thread ChipMonk


Has anyone made any further progress here? I have Touch and RasPi
pCorePlayers throughout my home and now got RasPi Home Assistant up and
running. I would like to have Alexa voice control of my LMS over and
above basic on/off volume up/down i.e. selection and playing of
favourites, music folders and/or specific song tracks from my
collection. I'd pay for Nabu Casa HA icloud integration if that would do
it but I haven't found much evidence of this to date. Having had fingers
burnt in the past, I'm reluctant to open up ports on my router and I'm
getting a bit old to set up all the LMS Controls from first principles,
hence my interest in Nabu Casa.

If anyone else shares these goals and has made any progress I would very
much welcome tips and suggestions

Thanks in advance

Chip

If I reopen the apk it opens in the visual statistics menu and I can
choose an option. The resulting bar chart cannot be zoomed though. If
the plugin did allow opening in the current page would zooming still be
an issue?

That's becasue it loads a new page - the APK does not handle this, so
loads in a browser window. If this plugin was like others the it would
load *within* the current page -> Material then would have a toolbar
with a backbutton, and no reloading.

2021-10-08 Thread Paul Webster


For those who kept the beta repo configured ... there is a new build
available that adds a couple of stations and now allows the user to
configure which of the available broadcaster groups are handled.

If people have station groups that they listen to but they do not
present song info in LMS ... but they do get more information when using
the web site or app of the broadcaster then let me know and I'll see if
I can add it in. That is how these extra stations appeared.
