Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: UPnPBridge = integrate UPnP/DLNA players with LMS (squeeze2upnp)
Philippe, A few months ago I tested squeeze2upnp on my new DLNA capable 'Hegel H190' (https://www.hegel.com/products/integrated/h190) integrated amp/dac/streamer. It worked quite well. I loved the idea of a headless Squeezebox and I could have sworn it sounded better than my Squeezebox Touch connected via S/PDIF to the H190's internal DAC. The problem was, at the time I couldn't get the plugin to pass any of my hi res FLAC files. Just silence. If I recall, and I could be wrong, I think you said that the plugin will have difficulty with higher bit rates. That became a show stopper so I didn't pursue squeeze2upnp. What I have discovered since this is the H190's DAC has an upper limit of 96/24. In testing the plugin before, I doubt I ever \explicitly set that bit rate/bit depth. Based on your knowledge and experience, should your plugin support connectivity to a 96 Kbps/24 bit DAC? It is correct that LMS (via your plugin) does the down-sampling if I play a file of, say, 192/24? Thanks.

Thank you for your input. Everything is working and sounding great with setting the upper bit rate to 96,000. Phillipe and support people, thank you *very* much for this plug-in. I'm going to advise Hegel about how well this works.

Is changing from "24bits PCM" options to "16 bits always" part of the diagnostic process, or would this be my permanent configuration with the plug-in? Thanks.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: UPnPBridge = integrate UPnP/DLNA players with LMS (squeeze2upnp)
I just purchased the Hegel H190 and was thrilled to learn about UPnP/DLNA bridge. I managed to get it to work but unfortunately, the relationship between the Hegel renderer and LMS frequently disappears. This can happen when I'm playing music or when the system is idle. Also, it -seems- to be aggravated by me scrubbing forward or backwards through a track while playing. Under all these conditions, the renderer also disappears from the Players list on LMS. When the amplifier is powered off, it will eventually reappear in the LMS Player list. Can you point me to a troubleshooting guide for issues of this nature? I should tell you, I'm not a coder and don't know Linux but I'm very eager to get this working.

It wasn't until the end when I added some hi-res FLAC files. Everything worked fine - even with the FLAC files until the Dvorak file. Then all the symptoms appeared including the renderer disappearing from the Player list in LMS. There was another issue before things crashed... In my playlist, when one track ended, the system wouldn't advance to the next track. Also, the time line of previous song (that had just finished) was jumping around to some extent (viewed on LMS web client) and there was no audio playback. Log file attached.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: UPnPBridge = integrate UPnP/DLNA players with LMS (squeeze2upnp)
I've come to love this plugin. I have occasional issues with loss of UPnP/DLNA session, but that's not what I'm hoping to explore right now. Ever since I bought my Hegel H190 and Totem Sky speakers, the high end seems rolled off. Some days seem more so than others, but the general sense is one of subdued high frequencies. I'm grasping at straws here but could a setting in UPnP/DLNA bridge have anything to do with this? - Logitech Media Server Version: 7.7.6 - 1452060463 - Bridge Version: 1.8.2 Thanks. ___ *Tim* Living Room: Hegel H190 w/built-in DAC and Renderer supported by squeeze2upnp plugin, Totem Acoustics Sky Bookshelf Speakers Bedroom: Boom Controller: iPeng Server: Synology DS-218+ ShutterShock's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3602 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103728 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: UPnPBridge = integrate UPnP/DLNA players with LMS (squeeze2upnp)
I was hoping to get your opinion... >From the start of using the UPnPBridge, the UPnP session between LMS and the renderer in my Hegel H190 drops sporadically and frequently. Power cycling the Hegel seems to be the only remedy. I can easily reproduce session drops by track scrubbing (forward and backward), making rapid track changes etc. I'm running LMS 7.7.6 on a Synology DS-218+. My emerging theory is the NAS could be sacrificing session stability in favour of of other tasks. For example, "housekeeping" tasks on the NAS maybe taking CPU cycles away from LMS (along with UPnPBridge) to the point where UPnP session management is compromised. Do you think that dedicating a Windows computer strictly to LMS, would reduce or eliminate these session drops? FYI: As a work-around I've been using Synology's Audio Station/Media Server combo. It very rarely drops sessions but has some other nasty behaviour. It also lacks the elegance of the iPeng/LMS experience. I've been looking at Roon and Audirvana as potential replacements for LMS but neither appeal to me for various reasons. Being a long time user, I'm very devoted to LMS.
