Maybe. Don't know, really. I'm not an expert, just pretend to be one in
forums... :)

After making the plug-in, FreeBSD users would have to know to install
the additional repo: http://www.herger.net/slim-plugins/repo.xml to get
the 'right' spotty for them, correct? I didn't know that existed until 5
minutes ago...
In short, will the experience actually be better than just replacing the
spotty binary? As you pointed out in earlier posts, if someone uses
FreeBSD it is expected they know how to use it.

But, if there is a perfectly good reason, I would be willing to see if
this is something I could sustain for all the spotty releases to come.

I assume this version hasn't been published on github yet? Without
looking at it, I cloned the repo and build it for FreeBSD, but I still
get version 0.6.2, the same as before.

BTW: How do these version numbers compare to 1.2.1 / 1.3.0?

Okay, didnt think you would want that (a Spotty mention for every non
default supported platform in the plug-in list) but thinking about it
would probably be 3 or 4 at best and it's clearly an important, much

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty v1.1.0

2017-08-08 Thread NeverSimple

Earlier in this thread, two posters, 'mrMuppet' and 'mnd999', seem to
have succeeded in compilling Spotty for FreeBSD. I'm not looking forward
to install my own Rust/Cargo environment and clone the Spotty helper
application repository to see  if I can get a working Spotty. I will if
I have to, but maybe 'mrMuppet' or 'mnd999' are willing to share their
hard work?? 

What I find curious: If you look at the latest FreeBSD port of the
Logitechmediaserver (7.9.1.g2017.07.11) it explicitely states: - fully
support spotty plugin for Spotify support.

Not sure what that means. It does not seem to work for me.

"I'm not looking forward to install my own Rust/Cargo environment and

Well, that turned out to be easy. Used a different computer from where
LMS is running, to not clutter it up with stuff I probably won't use for
anything else than compile Spotty... It compiled the first time, without
errors on FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p1.
Copied the compiled spotty to:
/var/db/logitechmediaserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/Spotty/Bin >
chown slimserv:slimserv spotty > chmod 755 spotty and it worked. 

Not sure how I can tell what version of spotty this is (no -v option),
but I cloned it today. In the 'Advanced' setting of LMS it tells me:
-Spotty Helper Application
/var/db/logitechmediaserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/Spotty/Bin/spotty
(v0.6.2) -

I've attached the compiled spotty for other people to use.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty v1.1.0

2017-08-22 Thread NeverSimple

For people running LMS on FreeBSD (Or eg. in a jail on FreeNAS), and
wanting to use Spotify, Michael Herger's 'Spotty' plugin works with the
latest official LMS port for FreeBSD (7.9.1.g2017.07.11) without
problems.
What does NOT work is the helper application for Spotty. This has to be
compiled for FreeBSD. I did that earlier and posted the result in post
#950 in this thread. 

Now it's even easier. There is a plug-in available for just the helper
application for FreeBSD (Spotty helper application for FreeBSD 11).
Install that together with the "Spotty" plugin and you should be fine.

It could be that the Perl5 interface to SSL sockets (IO::Socket::SSL)
has to be installed also. I used ports: cd
/usr/ports/security/p5-IO-Socket-SSL/ and 'make install clean'. If you
want to use pkg: pkg install p5-IO-Socket-SSL.


Thank's again to Michael. His work helps very much to keep the
Squeezebox a usable device. For people using this, consider a donation
to him (see herger.net). It could make a difference while he is
struggling to make the 'connect' feature possible...

Could be I don't understand correctly, but do you mean you opened port
4070 from WAN to LAN (incoming)? That's a rather huge security hole,
isn't it? 
IIRC you are only the second person in this thread to mention this port.
I have it closed, no uPNP or something . it's always closed. No problems
with speed. Just out of curousity, I opened the port for all traffic
from all sources to my LMS for a short period, to see if I could see any
speed difference. I didn't notice anything. I can't imagine that this is
a common problem? Michael Herger didn't even know where the port was
for...

Just curious.

FreeNAS is based on FreeBSD. The 'normal' Spotty helper application
won't run on that. You need the 'Spotty helper plug-in for FreeBSD 11'
to get this working. But having said that, you seem to be using a really
old (3,5 year) FreeNAS version based on FreeBSD 9.2, not sure the helper
plug-in will run on that. Probably not. You could update to FreeNAS 11
and if you do, I would also advise to then build the latest LMS from
ports (7.9.1.g2017.07.11) as 7.8 is also old.

I'm running FreeNAS 11.0-U3, with LMS 7.9.1 in a jail, and Spotty works
perfectly fine with that setup.

Probably. But that was 10 years ago the CPU is rated for 105W TDP.
It likely uses DDR2 memory and if you want to upgrade the 1GB it now
has, you will have to get lucky to find some GB sized DIMM's for a
reasonable price. Remember that a current Core I3 processor is faster in
almost every task and uses less than half the power (and has integrated
graphics)

Sometimes you just have to upgrade, I guess... :(

That would be nice. Maybe set the default according to what is set in de
playersettings? If 'Volume control' is set to 'output level is fixed at
100%' make Spotty not sync the volume. Maybe this could be just the
setting Spotty uses without having a separate option. Could be that
someone knows why a separate Spotty option would be useful, but likely
that would just be confusing?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty v1.9.0 - now with experimental Spotify Connect support!

2017-12-23 Thread NeverSimple

Have been using Spotty for months, but only recently switched to the
latest version and started using connect. 
First off all: really impressed that Michael made this possible to use
on the Squeezebox players. I use Spotify every day and am really happy I
can still use my aging hardware for this.

What I see so far are just minor points, and could be related to
something specific to my setup, but wanted to mention them anyway. If I
use connect to listen to a playlist (start the music on a Spotify app on
Windows) the SB player starts with a delay that can be anything between
2 and 20 seconds, but almost always it is about 10 seconds. That delay
stays constant during a song. When the Spotify client is at the end of
the song (so, let's say 10 seconds ahead of the SB player), the artwork
and songtitle/artist information on the SB player changes to the next
song (kinda in sync with the Spotify app). At this point the remaining
time display on the SB player usually jumps to 0:00 with the total track
time of the new song and stays that way until the next songs starts
playing (~ 10s). The current song continous to play to the end on the SB
player, without any interruption or artifacts. The time display can also
get a bit weird in the intermittent part between when the Spotify app
starts the next song and when the SB player does. The total track time
seems to be always the correct time of the next song, but the remaining
time sometimes indicates 1:31 or 2:00 or something. This always corrects
itself when the SB player starts the song.

So when you don't look at the SB player, everything is fine, no problems
with the music, just the artwork/title/artist/time information is not in
sync during the last ~10 seconds.

I guess the delay between the Spotify app and the SB player is to be
expected. If I look at the traffic graphs on my router, each song starts
with a burst of 4/5/6 MByte during a few seconds and then not much, if
anything after that. It seems like it's downloading the complete song
and then playing it locally? Just guessing here.

Using Spotty 1.99.3 with the helper application version 0.81. LMS
version 7.9.1 on FreeBSD

Just wanted to say I see the same behaviour. I left a player on (turned

Ok, I guess it depends on how you define "it works". I never used this
so I tested this as you requested.
I still had Spotty 2.1.1 running and first tested with that. Both
Connect targets are SB Touch, both were turned on beforehand, not
playing anything. Used the Spotify app on my phone to Connect to one
touch, played fine, then switched to the other Touch. The first stopped
playback (but kept it's position) and the second one started playing
from the time when I switched. Did this a couple of times without
problems.
Upgraded to Spotty 2.1.8. Restarted LMS and both Touch'es. I can still
switch between them in the same way, but now every time the Touch I
switch TO get's it's volume set to zero. If I turn up the volume it
plays normally. I tried this 5 times and the same behaviour. The target
touch plays, but with the volume set to zero.

So, yes I can switch between players, but have to turn up the volume
every time I do that.

Can also confirm that the volume problem seems to be fixed in 2.1.9.
Switched 6 times back and forth between 3 devices: volume stays at
100%.

I had Spotty logging temporarily set to 'debug' for 2.1.8 and after
switching players saw:


Code:

Plugins::Spotty::API::_call (1316) API call: 
me/player/volume?device_id=2564e1f81e93e56ee1fa56e1ae286ne25a38e98d_percent=0



don't know if that's an inquiry or a setting, but those lines are not
present in 2.1.9.

If your server is a standard Win 10 PC, start with removing the 'Spotty

Question: Which helper application are you using (see

- arm-linux/spotty 
- arm-linux/spotty-hf 
- arm-linux/spotty-muslhf 
- macOS: spotty 
- i386-linux/spotty 
- i386-linux/spotty-x86_64 
- Windows: spotty.exe 
- Other (please elaborate in comment)


Voted 'other' for the binary for FreeBSD.

That's got to be a real small percentage, but luckily it's not something
Michael has to built :)

I also find that only a percentage of the download for the 'spotty
helper application for FreeBSD 11' are actually from FreeBSD machines;
the majority comes from Linux, specifically NAS'ses. The number of
downloads from Windows is actually really small.
Looking through about a month of downloads I see roughly 65 downloads
from FreeBSD and 350 downloads from other OS'ses, not as bad as I had
assumed... :rolleyes:

Most likely not the cause why Spotty isn't working, but does Systemline
provide updates? LMS 7.8.0 is now 5 years old. There are some functions
(like seeking within a track) that will need a newer LMS version,
wouldn't hurt to update, if possible.

I'm guessing from your playername in the screenshot that Squeezelite X
is running on a Dell XPS13? If so, then it's probably a High DPI screen
(as in > 1920x1080 resolution). It could be related to post #778 above,
so Greg is looking into it.

Nothing Dutch really about 'zappen'  It's borrowed from English
and used to describe constantly changing tv channels. But it's not a

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 4.4 - more personalised content

That does happen from time to time. Most Spotty users share the same
"Spotify Client ID", and its amount of allowed connections is limited

See, for instance:
https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?112962-Announce-Spotty-4-4-more-personalised-content=990990=1#post990990

Most likely it has nothing to do with the version you are using.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Radio Paradise plugin 'now playing' info

2021-05-01 Thread NeverSimple


Still stuck on 'Ray LaMontagne, In My Own Way'.

Maybe it has something to do with synced players, cause that doesn't
seem to work with the Radio Paradise app?

I have 2 synced players (both Touch), whenever I turn on the other from
where I made the original Radio Paradise selection it always tells me
something like: "can't open https stream for //radioparadise" (don't
remember exactly).

Of course, that does work, I can navigate there through the menu and it
plays perfectly and in sync with the other.

Right now the 'Now Playing' info for the Mellow FLAC regular stream is
'stuck' again for at least a couple of hours. It is stuck on 'Ray
LaMontagne, In My Own Way'. As before the other 'Mellow' streams are
fine, as are all the main mixes.
If I listen to something different and come back to the Mellow FLAC
regular stream, I just see the above now playing info, the music itself
is correct.

https://api.radioparadise.com/api/now_playing?chan=1 gives me the
correct song. No update to the above version for either LMS or the Radio
Paradise plugin.

Yes, it only happens with Mellow and ONLY with the FLAC regular stream.
FLAC interactive and the AAC streams are fine.
Currently the 'now playing' info changed to 'Tom McRae, For The
Restless', and is stuck at that for some time now, it's not the song
that is playing

I'll try to get a useful log.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Radio Paradise plugin 'now playing' info

2021-05-02 Thread NeverSimple


Log file with the Radio Paradise plugin in 'debug' mode is attached. 

Although I 'edited' it to make it even more clear when I switched
streams, I didn't take anything out, this is all that's in the log.

It looks like the Mellow mix, regular stream only looks at a (local)
cache, while the interactive stream is actively polling.

I don't want to complicate things, but maybe it has something to do with
this. 
Like I wrote above, I have 2 synced players (both Touch), whenever I
turn on the other from where I made the original Radio Paradise
selection it always gives me a message on the display of the touch.
Today it did that again, but unlike I wrote it says something
like:"Can't open file for.." the rest is off screen and the message
almost immediately disappears. Nothing in the log about it.

Hope this helps, if you need more info, let me know.

{"time":211,"artist":"Nick Drake","title":"River Man","album":"Five

So I went to check the Mellow mix - FLAC regular stream and . It now
shows me Nick Drake Wut? Next song (John Mayall, Sensitive kind:
great song!) did refresh correctly (albeit 15s early). Next song also
refreshed

Don't know what triggered this. I'm sure it has never worked for me, at
least not after upgrading to LMS8. Updates to LMS8 (so reboots) and/or
new player firmware did not change that. Always was stuck on 'Sweet'
from 'Cigarettes After Sex' 

So don't know what happened but I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for
checking it. Love the plugin and use it a lot.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Radio Paradise plugin 'now playing' info

2021-04-03 Thread NeverSimple


If I play the 'Mellow Mix' > 'FLAC *regular *stream', through the Radio
Paradise plugin, the 'now playing' screen never refreshes, the music
itself is fine. Mine is stuck on the same info for weeks, maybe months.
The 'now playing' info on other 'Mellow Mix' streams (FLAC Interactive
and AAC) is fine. On the 'Main' mixes the 'now playing' info is also
fine. 

So, no big deal, I just select the 'Mellow mix - interactive' stream.
But still curious, is anyone else seeing this?
