Brilliant, I didn't think of that. I have been using LastMix with DSTM

Is there anywhere that I need to go to to change settings in LastMix so

The TIDAL plugin itself does indeed not provide its own mixer. But you 
could use the LastMix plugin to create the mix. It would automatically 
pull in tracks from TIDAL (if available). It's not limited to one track 
source like Spotty's implementation. It would respect local as well as 
various streaming services.

Ah. I guess that is another reason for me to start exploring MPD based

I don't see how the speed of my commands is a source of error. I speak
at the same pace as you do in your demonstration video (which is good,
btw. Very nice to get an idea of the app). Besides, there is not much
pacing involved in "Alexa shuffle" or "Alexa, next". Background noise
can be safely excluded too when I'm in the room by myself, with no noise
source anywhere and my standing about half a meter away from the Echo
dot. There is something else going on here.

I will check the test-player next time when the echo dot doesn't want to
play something. 

I suppose it's not a big problem when the custom names for my echo dots
don't persist. The reason I was trying to do it was so that I don't have
to remember which is which player when I'm testing things. I didn't
think that the players announce their name to the server but rather that
the server remembers the association between Name and MAC address, so it
looked like something else might be wrong.

That a playlist cannot be shuffled before starting playback is a bummer.
I'm trying to work around that by concatenating the stream command +
Alexa shuffle + Alexa next (in an Alexa routine) but it doesn't work
because whatever comes after "playlist" is interpreted as part of the
name of the playlist. And Alexa doesn't allow two actions with the same
skill in one routine. So it really looks like there is no way of getting
a playlist played in random order without manually issuing the commands
every time.

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

2022-01-31 Thread MrC


Hey Phil,

Wanted to give some feedback.

We recently tested our MediaServer (and LMS Lite) to see how it might
fit into our whole house audio system w/2 SB Touch devices.

First and foremost, I want to say how much I appreciated your nicely
designed software and web content, and your overall superb support for
everyone here.  This is the first mondo-thread where I read every post
from 1 to n.  Great work, and thank you.

Ultimately, however, we found that voice control of our systems in this
fashion would not work for us.  Much of this has to do with things that
are beyond your control.  But here are the issues we encountered, just
as FYIs:

- For installation, the only issue I had was failure of the page
redirects to enable the authorization of the skill.  I figured it out,
but it just didn't work via the Alexa app.  The Alexa app (on iOS) would
pop open the internal browser, but credentials never moved past the
Authorizing screen - it just spun forever.  So I managed this
elsewhere.

- The docs are still a bit confusing as to which credentials are
supposed to be entered.  This should be made crystal clear and
unambiguous.

- The entire reason for us to use MediaServer + LMS Lite was so that my
wife could quickly start playback, and control, her choice of radio
streams (she doesn't do much playback of our audio rips, since she can't
recall at a moment what we have, nor does she think about or engage with
music in this way).  But to do this as a one-shot required me to
configure Routines for each favorite station.  Obviously this method
severely limits playback choices.

- Alexa had a very difficult time hearing words while audio volume was
sufficiently high.  In fact, it's easy to say, she just couldn't hear,
or discern our commands while some talk show was playing.  The whole
house speakers in, say the kitchen, have enough energy that Alexa was
essentially unable to hear, sans shouting.

- The required command language for various controls felt too unnatural
for my wife, robotic, and required a lot of memorization of what would
work, what would not, and under which circumstances to use certain
directives, verbs, nouns, and prepositions.  I would have had to post a
cheat sheet for her.  And that would work for one room only, requiring
that she uses different commands in other rooms.  Ultimately, she'd like
to say "Play BBC World News" to get playback in any room she was in,
just like she can with the Echo's.  So, it was a dead end, requiring too
much customization, per room, and franking too much talking.  So
convenience and ease of use prevailed over better audio.  And finally on
this point, she has a better tool at her disposal to play anything - she
calls on me to make it happen.

- MediaServer has many commands, and capabilities, most of which we
would never use.  We'd never stream via LMS to our Echo devices, or
other targets.  Every room has it's own set of speakers, controlled by
the whole house audio system.  So it would have been nice to disable all
commands for things we would never use, and avoid the mistaken playback
on Echo devices.  We found too many times that Alexa would play to, or
control, the local Echo and not do what we wanted.  I would be great if
there was a configuration that could disable certain commands, so that
any requests for Help could return only the enabled / available
commands.   This would have greatly help present a simple view which
might have worked better for my wife.  I'm pretty sure this is outside
of your control with a skill.

- We found MediaServer / Alexa would not remember the assumed player. 
Trying to figure out when it would, would not, was an exercise in
futility for us.  It would have been nice to be able to configure the
system to know about one and only one device, a single Touch (we have 2
in our whole house audio rack, and I select which I want to use at any
given time).  In this model, there could never be mistakes as to which
player was getting the command (albeit, Alexa does tend to want do
insert herself into the audio playback).  And if MediaServer could then
assume that player entirely, that would have helped.

- MediaServer - The skill name itself kept feeling like too many
syllables (its also a "word" that requires much mouth/tongue gymnastics,
and with quick or slurred speech, was often mistaken).  At 5 syllables
just for the skill name, and then all those for the commands, it felt
like there was so much talky-talky, back and forth, the entire voice
model was far more cumbersome and error-prone than just walking over to
the kitchen's iPad and using Material Skin for command / playback
selection (and there are no mistakes, repeated commands doing this), or
just using the kitchen's Echo directly.

- LMS Lite - This was used only to turn on / of the whole house audio
amp, and for Stop, Pause.  And this requires that our Elan system was
programmed to support certain Alexa skills.  It also required me to
create the Routines I mentioned above

You are welcome.

And just to complete the thought.   We don't use a high value for
waitusb by default since that slows down the boot process for those that
are using microsd cards.  In general booting from USB is a bit slower
that microSD, but I use the boot from USB too, where the pi is installed

No guarantees and, yes, if the only place you would use the premium

Brilliant, seems to do the trick. A million thank yous for developing

PiCorePlayer through the Apple USB-C dongle to my multi zone amp is

Today when selecting both Scala and Jazz FM a recorded message has been
played advising that the streams we are listening to will be
discontinued in the next few days (we had the same message last Monday,
but it went away).
We have been using the plugin for a while and I have been considering
upgrading to Premium to lose the slightly irritating adverts.
Is it possible that the plugin can be updated to use the alternative
URLs they are providing?  It really is a great addition to LMS, thank

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Picoreplayer won't boot

pCP is booting before the kernel sees your USB stick.  You need to
increase the value of waitusb that is on the command line(on the

When booting from USB, you need to tell the kernel to wait for a bit for
USB devices to get recognized.  I've seen some devices take 5 or 6
seconds to get recognized.

This was booting to a console with the Tiny Core logo instead of PiCore.
It seems intermittent. I've gone ahead and purchased a microSD card in
hopes that it has something to do with booting to USB instead of
microSD. Thank you for your response.

No, that's a misunderstanding, I think. Nothing's created per se in the
main menu (if by that you mean home menu). It's all settings pages.
Please use the link on the plugins page to get to the RL settings or go
*LMS settings* > *Advanced* > *Ratings Light*. Either way, you'll end up
on the Ratings Light settings page that will show the *Various* settings
by default.
At the top of -that- page you can switch between/display other settings
sections: Various (default), Import, Export, Don't Stop the Music,
Backup / Restore, Menus. 
Choose -Backup / Restore-. This will reload part of the RL settings page
to show the Backup / Restore settings. Some settings pages like Import,
Export, and Back/Restore include -buttons- that trigger actions like
manual back, import or export.
Then use the *Backup Now* button next to -Manual Backup- to create a
manual backup. 
Some plugins only have one settings page and others (like RL) have too
many settings, preferences or buttons to fit on one single page without
cluttering the UI. That's why there are other settings subpages. Hope
that works for you.

SUCCESS!!
Thanks to everyone here - all your solutions were helpful, and then a
hard reboot of the desktop (twice: who knows?) and restarting everything
has made Tidal show up and is now streaming.
It first showed up on the Android phone via Squeezer, then on the
handheld Controller, but LMS wasn't showing ANY of My Apps, not even BBC
or Spotty or Bandcamp.
Second reboot of the desktop and it's streaming away fine. Just by
coincidence :) it happens to be Neil Young...

Now to move all those Spotify lists.

Thanks again everyone here for very erudite help. It proves that the
original suggestions for installing the App from mysqueezebox.com and
the plugin, then wait AND REBOOT several times. Good things come and all
that.

-  "Alexa, tell MediaServer to stream my -whatever- playlist".
  Subsequently: "Alexa, shuffle". You cannot do it with a single
  combined command. And it will not persist, because AlexaPlayers are
  temporary/ephemeral. An LMS limitation.
-  It's not only pronunciation, it's pacing. If you speak too slowly
  she assumes you broke off the command before you complete it. Too fast
  and she will miss pieces. Background noise doesn't help. Any skill has
  those problems. A workaround until you get used to keeping her happy
  is to 'open' the skill so you're in a session rather than doing a
  one-shot. And look at the Echo while speaking to it. That way, the
  skill has her attention and she's (hopefully) not going to send your
  command to some other skill.
-  Getting audio from LMS to an Echo is not the same as from LMS to a
  squeezebox. It all goes via /stream.mp3 and has to be transcoded. An
  Echo can handle anything you throw at it but LMS cannot stream
  anything other than mp3 (LMS is the limiting factor here). It's very
  likely a transcoding issue (I presume you have LAME installed?). Visit
  e.g. the -h t t p://:9000/stream.mp3?player=Test- endpoint from
  a browser and play some stuff in the newly-created 'Test' player from
  the LMS GUI. I'll bet the sources/tracks that fail with the Echo also
  produce silence in the browser.
-  AlexaPlayers are -network clients- to LMS, not regular players.
  They appear and disappear. However, they always get the same name when
  created (Alexa-x, where the 'x' is constant). To protect your
  privacy, Amazon does not allow ANY skill to request the name you gave
  to your Echo in the app — imagine if you called it "Bathroom Echo",
  skill developers would know you had a bathroom in your house !
  :rolleyes: What problem would it solve for you if the names were
  remembered by LMS? Maybe you mean that the players should be permanent
  so that their settings persisted? Well, that would require @philippe
  to create a bridge for them...

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

2022-01-31 Thread chaug


I'm desperately trying to get Alexa to stream a playlist (to Alexa
player) in shuffle mode but I can't figure out how to do it. It does
play the playlist but it always starts at the beginning. When I then say
"Alexa, shuffle" she doesn't recognize the command a lot of the times
and when she does, she says "Shuffle on", yay! If I then say "Alexa,
next", she doesn't recognise the command. When I say "Alexa, skip" she
says "Next" and does indeed play the track. Except, sometimes she
doesn't. She just stops playing and the next track never starts. Except
that it does show as playing on the LMS web-UI. I hoped that once I set
the Alexa player on shuffle, it would stay there and next time I play
that playlist, it will shuffle, but no. I noticed that when I change the
name of the "ALEXA-*" player to something else, LMS (or Alexa?) will
eventually forget that name and go back to "ALEXA-*", so I assume
that this forgetfulness is also the reason why the shuffle state doesn't
persist.

So I have four questions (relating to each of the four issues just
mentioned): 

  
- How can I start streaming an LMS-playlist in shuffle mode (so that
  it starts with a different track every time)
- What am I doing wrong with the no-invocation commands? I can
  confidently say that my english pronounciation is in no way unusual or
  difficult to understand. Alexa understands me fine all the time,
  except when using the MediaServer app. In fact, the problem exists not
  just with no-invocation commands. It also occurs when I try to invoke
  a mediaserve one-shot command, Alexa never gets the entire command.
  For example, when I say "Alexa, tell media server to play favourite
  Amina 8", most of the time, she will either say nothing or "Say a
  mediaserver command".
- What might be the reason that skipping to the next song will
  sometimes lead to silence despite the track actually being streamed by
  LMS? My best guess is that it has to do with encoding. This is
  happening on a youtube playlist and I believe youtube tracks sometimes
  use different codecs. But since it is LMS streamingt to Alexa, I would
  still blame LMS/the plugin for not transcoding into a codec that Alexa
  understands.
- Is there any way of making LMS remember the name of the Alexa
  players?

Yeah, the flickering is due to the change in Material to work-around the
queue size issue. Hence I've removed that for the next release. Still,
any changes are just working around the issue.

Its possible there is an issue with MusicSimilarity DSRM, as stated with
the "Couldn't retrieve objectForUrl" error logging. But, I'm 90% sure
I've seen this issue before even starting work on this DSTM - but
probably not as often. I just think that its use causes the issue to
occur more often. Still, I need to look into/fix the "objectForUrl" in
the DSTM mixer anyway.

If you have followed the instructions correctly; contained within this

Then try putting a blank formatted SD card in its slot when booting from
usb :)

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Material Skin

2022-01-31 Thread mruddo


FYI, I'm still seeing this issue too... sometimes with the
duplicated/mismatched album covers as per the post in the Music
Similarity thread, but more often now with the flickering in the now
playing queue between the track name/album art that is playing and (I
believe) the next item in the queue.

I've not been able to identify a trigger, but when listening to DSTM
music similarity mixes, it almost inevitably happens eventually.
