Ah, the all-important colon! Thanks so much, and now working. Brilliant
piece of work.

I wonder, RCST, if it's worth a new thread, given that this one is still
headed with "...Android apps"? I'm sure a lot of ios/ipados fans would
love this Shortcut thing and will probably miss the opportunity as it
stands. Just a thought—your fine work deserves wide use!

I had the same problem at first, because I copied and pasted the link.
If you did that, try clicking on it in the actual forum post: that
worked for me. I think the copy and paste just copies that ellipsis in

RCST, this looks exactly what I've been looking for. However, the (new)
download gets to my phone's Shortcuts OK, but I get: "A server with the
specified hostname could not be found." Have I got the format correct? I
know my LMS server's address, and I know the port is 9000, so I have:
http://192.168.X.X.X000/jsonrpc.js
Is that the correct format? If it is, then what else could be adrift?

Also, while I'm on, in Material Skin (not checked anything else) I'm

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Qobuz.com streaming plugin

2022-10-19 Thread whitman


Doing a little research, it seems that Spotify, Tidal, and Apple Music,
at least, all have the facility to make playlist folders. So evidently
there is a demand for something that, in Spotify, I find a very useful
feature for organising what over time can become quite a bevy of
playlists, and I'd still love to be able to use something similar in
Qobuz.

I'm guessing that if the Qobuz plugin via LMS/Material isn't going to
have this facility any time soon, then it might need to happen natively
in Qobuz's own app. A little more fishing around, though, gives me the
impression that Qobuz are not overly responsive to user feedback and
feature requests. Has anyone here had any experience of asking Qobuz for
new features?

1. Does that mean it's possible in LMS but not yet done? Or just not
possible, full stop?

2. No, can't see it in Qobuz's own apps, as you say. I wondered if there

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Qobuz.com streaming plugin

2022-10-17 Thread whitman

I’m trying Qobuz for a free month. Previously only used Spotify for
streaming. I’m primarily attracted by Qobuz’s hi-res content.

I’m using it with the Qobuz plugin on LMS and Material Skin. Two
questions:

1. How do I change the order that my Fvourited albums appear? They
default to date-added order, but I want alphabetical by artist, as
offered in the Qobuz app. Depsite thast being my choden option in the
Qobuz app, the LMS plugin does not offer this as far as I can see. Am I
missing a way to do this?

2. How can I make folders within the Playlists secion? I use them a lot
in Spotify, and for me they’re really useful to organise that section.
Without them, I have a very long and unruly set of playlists. Again, am
I missing a way to do this?

I wanted to be sure these were the default settings, as I mentioned in
post 3. 

I've never been able to find a clear, simple explanation of the File
Types prefs. Why are there seemingly overlapping terms in File Format
and Stream Format? What do the letters in the "From" column mean (I, F,
R). How do you know which Decoder dropdown to deploy? And is there a
list of default settings somewhere?

Michael, not a problem as such, it's just that I noticed those settings
when I was looking for something else in the prefs, and I had a vague
feeling I may have reset Ogg settings for some reason in the past—and I
can't recall what the defaults are.

So, I currently have:

Ogg FLAC 
FLAC (R,F,I) flac/sox 
Ogg FLAC (I. F) Native

Ogg Vorbis
AIFF (I,F) Disabled
FLAC (I,R,F) Disabled
MP3 (I.F) Disabled (greyed out)
Ogg Vorbis (I,F) Disabled
PCM (I,F) Disabled

Is that correct?

Not sure if Spotify is still a dirty word round these parts. 

But anyway, can anyone advise on the correct, or at least best settings
in LMS's Advanced/File Types? I've always found these a bit baffling

Spotify is delivered to my Spotty plugin as 705kbps CBR Ogg Vorbis
according to Material Skin.

In LMS's File Types, I see entries for Ogg FLAC and Ogg Vorbis. What
needs to be set there? And anywhere else?

I originally posted my query here…
https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?116047-iPeng-and-Playback-on-MacOS%97stream-problem
…but I suspect I should have asked here. So…

I’m running iPeng on my MacBook Air M1 and using the Playback facility
to make it a player. But I have a problem with it crashing when I try to
play certain radio streams.

(I should add that I can play any and every one of these streams
perfectly well using iPeng with Playback on iOS devices, like my iPhone
or iPad. It’s only when I try Playback on the Mac that I hit the
problem.)

I’ve tried to find common factors among the relevant streams, and
quality seems to be one. 

All my 44.1 kHz streams play perfectly (for example Europa Jazz). 

The 48 kHz streams do not play (for example D-Dur Classical), nor does a
96 kHz one (Mother Earth). They do not play and they crash iPeng.

The behaviour seems to be that when I play one of these higher-rate
streams, it will instantly jump to a point a minute or two into the
stream, and start counting down as if playing, but with no audio. The
controls in iPeng for pause etc are frozen; it's crashed. Really
frustrating!

The codec does not seem to be a factor—some OGG streams play (for
example Juke), some do not (CRo Jazz); some AAC streams play (for
example Jazz24), some do not (Classic Jazz Radio).

I’m connecting the laptop to LMS via wifi, so in iPeng Playback’s player
prefs I have bitrate limiting for wifi set to off. 

A responder at the other thread suggested setting LMS’s Streaming Method
to Proxied under Player/Settings/Audio, but that made no difference.

On the laptop, in Audio MIDI Setup I have my headphone output set to
96kHz 2ch 32-bit Float, which is the highest possible. I’ve tried it at
the other options, 44.1, 48, and 88.2, and that seems to make no
difference.

I really want to use iPeng like this on my laptop with headphones for my
radio streams, which I have collected as Favourites sourced from the
excellent Radio Now Playing app.

Any ideas what’s going on here?

Not designed for MscOS originally, but at the Apple App Store iPeng
presents compatibility info that has "Mac: Requires macOS 11.0 or later

iPhone, iPad, iPad Touch, and Apple Watch. 

Thanks for your suggestions anyway, Jim, and I'll give the iPeng thread

OK, made that setting in LMS, but unfortunately no change.

The behaviour seems to be that when I play one of those higher-kbps (not

iPeng and Playback on MacOS�stream problem

2022-02-27 Thread whitman

Anyone running iPeng on MacOS and using its Playback facility?

M1 Macs will run some iOS apps, like iPeng, and iPeng's Playback option
turns iPeng into an LMS player.

Certainly iPeng runs on my MacBook Air M1 and delivers Playback, but I
have a problem with it crashing when I try to play certain radio
streams.

I should add that I can play any and every one of these streams
perfectly well using iPeng with Playback on iOS devices, like my iPhone
or iPad. It’s only when I try Playback on the Mac that I hit the
problem.

I’ve tried to find common factors among the relevant streams, and
quality seems to be one. 

All the 44.1 kHz streams play perfectly (for example Europa Jazz). 

The 48 kHz streams do not play (for example D-Dur Classical), nor does a
96 kHz one (Mother Earth). They do not play and they crash iPeng.

The codec does not seem to be a factor—some OGG streams play (for
example Juke), some do not (for example CRo Jazz); some AAC streams play
(for example Jazz24), some do not (Classic Jazz Radio).

I’m connecting the laptop to LMS via wifi, so in iPeng Playback’s player
prefs I have bitrate limiting for wifi set to off. I can’t see any other
prefs that might affect the problem.

On the laptop, in Audio MIDI Setup I have my headphone output set to
96kHz 2ch 32-bit Float, which is the highest possible. I’ve tried it at
the other options, 44.1, 48, and 88.2, and that seems to make no
difference.

I have the sense that I’m missing something obvious. I really want to
use iPeng like this on my laptop with headphones for all my radio
streams, which I have collected as Favourites sourced from the excellent
Radio Now Playing app.

Any ideas?

Interesting. I was sure I'd saved Klassic's classical "Live" channel as
a favourite from RNP. This was the one that gave me the please-retune

However, as you say, it plays fine direct from RNP, with this

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng Playback + iPad + headphones

2022-02-22 Thread whitman


Grebg, thanks for this, very good to hear of your experience.

Have you ever tried iPeng on MacOS? M1 Macs will run some iOS apps, and
my laptop will run iPeng, though it seems to crash with some streams
(but not others).

Anyway, my iPhone SE (2016) seems OK on battery usage with iPeng, as
does my iPad mini 4.

I can't see an obvious way to tell what actual quality (96/24 or
whatever) iPeng is shoving out the headphone jack at any point.

Good advice on trying the cans without a DAC for now, thanks, and I like
your suggestion of the 90 vs 10 balance. My new Grado SR80X arrived
yesterday, so I've been digging in. Much fun!

What DACs have you tried and liked? The miser in me would be interested
in less expensive ones!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng Playback + iPad + headphones

2022-02-18 Thread whitman

Thanks Paul and Jim for further advice.

Still thinking my way through, as for me this counts as a potentially
big investment, so I want to consider as many alternatives as poss.

So, I do have an M! MacBook Air (2020). I imagine using that would
eliminate the need for the camera adapter for the iPad. I have a spare
USB3–USB adaptor I could use on one of the laptop's Thunderbolt/USB4
jacks. Presumably a Dragonfly DAC would work connected to that?

I do have iPeng working on the laptop—it's an M1 version, and most
iOS/iPadOS apps work on it—so that side of it is covered.

Mind you, despite all that, I wonder how good the laptop's internal DAC
is, via the 3.5 headphone out?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng Playback + iPad + headphones

2022-02-16 Thread whitman


I'm thinking of getting some headphones to use for LMS, and I'm looking
into iPeng's Playback facility to do this. (This is the iPeng add-on
that effectively turns an iPhone or iPad into an LMS/Squeezebox
player.)

The iPad I'd use is a mini 4. I believe the out from iPeng through the
headphone jack on that would be good enough to make for a reasonably
high quality noise. Correct?

I'm considering the well-rated Grado SR80x cans, which have an impedance
of about 35 ohms. I'm assuming they're OK for the iPad to drive without
assistance as I have a cheap pair of about 32 ohms that seem OK through
that route. 

Anyone using a similar setup with advice or comments?

(Wasn't sure exactly where to post this, but figured iPeng = software
probably closest.)

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Alternatives to spotify / spotty?

2022-02-04 Thread whitman


Jaca, that's interesting. 

Now I see that I can indeed add folders to Spotify's Playlists! 

In the official Spotify app on my desktop Mac, if I right-click on an
existing Playlist in the sidebar on the left, there's an option to
Create Folder, which I'd completely missed. It's easy from there to make
folders and sub-folders and organise stuff in a way that (for my
purposes, at least) is much more efficient. Good!

I can then see the new folders I've made in LMS in a browser UI on the
same desktop, rather more usefully in Material than the regular skin.
But neither seems to allow me to make new folders. And in iPeng on my
iPhone, again any new folders made on the Spotify app are now visible
but there's no obvious way (to me) to make new ones there.

Sorry if this is a touch off-topic here. Later, when/if the dust settles
on the Spotify debate, I'll maybe make a new thread about the folder
business.

As I say, I thought the no-cover tracks were tracks from their own
sessions–they do play such things–but I think there are too many for
that to be the case, and looking also at the playlist, some of the
non-cover tracks are indeed listed as being from specific albums

I think a trade-off for no duration and close sync would be acceptable.

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

2021-11-15 Thread whitman


Only had time this evening for a swift test of each station, and most
seem to be doing the business very well. 

Juke Radio is there, but not playing for me. Ditto Mother Earth. No time
now to check the circumstances of those two more thoroughly, but will do
so tomorrow when I'll have more time.

In the meantime, thank you, as ever, Paul for your meticulous work. This
fine plugin just got better. And I dare say it will continue to do so.

Looks good: Radio Swiss is now in the list, and none of the others have
disappeared, so I have 19 top-level names in total. I will test how it
all plays later on and report back.

I'm nervous about the "not a great change to make for a working system".
Presumably I should keep a backup of the working json file for safety,
then do the change you suggest, see if it generates the menu name, then
revert to regular version?

Paul, a couple of stations that I listen to regularly on LMS do not show
album art (at least not on the links I use, which I believe are the best
quality available in each case).

First is Jazz24, which for my taste is one of the better jazz stations.
I have this link in my Favourites...

https://live.wostreaming.net/direct/ppm-jazz24aac256-ibc1

The other is Swiss Classic, again a good station in my view, and
accessed from this link in my Favourites...

http://www.radioswissclassic.ch/de/live/aacp.m3u

Is there any scope for getting art (and indeed album info) with some
help from you and your excellent Radio Now Playing?

Thanks.

Tfec, I've looked in all the obvious Squeezebox cache, prefs, and plugin

fact the only MS file I can see in those folders is one called

The end device is an iPad, I have access to the LMS install location,
though I'm not sure what you mean by the 'prefs/plugin' folder, and I
would be using the iPad in landscape mode.

Philippe, thanks, and apologies, I did realise you are the maintainer,
so I certainly wasn't disputing your info. 

My enquiry is intended to see if there is some way to stream those
higher-res Apple Music files, somehow, from an Apple device to my DAC32.


It would be interesting, for example, to see if a 48/24 file really
makes that much difference to my ears. 

But if the only way is via shairtunes, and that tops out at 44/16, so be
it.

Seems like Apple are saying their lossless files are ALAC ranging from
44/16 to 48/24, so that lower 44/16 end would, at least in theory, be
better than the regular Spotify files I'm hearing at present. 

But to repeat my question, is anyone actually using this, and if so what
do you hear? And is there a way to tell the spec (44/16 or whatever) of
the stream you're hearing?

OK, so is that a yes for hi-res with this scheme?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] announce: ShairTunes2W - Airtunes on LMS (forked version with Windows support)

2021-07-26 Thread whitman

I’ve been wondering about giving Apple Music a whirl, and I planned to
use shairtunes to stream it via Airplay from my Mac laptop or my iPad to
my DAC32. (I have my Mac mini running LMS on the same network.) 

But I’ve seen some debate online questioning if Airplay can deliver
Apple Music’s hi-res files, with a consensus suggesting that it can’t. 

This has rather put me off, as it was the hi-res stuff at a relatively
good price that attracted me. 

Has anyone here used such a setup successfully?

Ah, and ta too slarti, one of those "obvious when you say it" things.

Right, set to play FLAC only, and all three of my players, SB3, Radio,
and DAC32, playing now without stutters.

Info reads the same for each: "Ogg Vorbis (Spotify) (Converted to FLAC)
Bitrate 705kbps CBR".

So presumably that's as good as it gets, quality wise, with the reply
gain fix?
