Interesting what you say about the wifi card and power. I have another SB3 which gives similar network results, but which rebuffers every 20 minutes or so. This SB3 at least doesn't rebuffer, but it's why I started looking into it. And I had a world of pain problem solving some general unreliability problems recently (on Ethernet) which turned out to be a dodgy PSU!

Does anyone know about Triode's Network Test plugin? My SB3 is connected to LMS 8.3.0 on a Pi4 via WiFi.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite -a ::: - can anyone explain this option?
Hi - running SqueezeLite and LMS 8.1.2 (latest versions) on my Pi4 I found there was serious rebuffering on my Pi and SB3s earlier this year when playing FLACs unless I specified "-a :::0". More recently I noticed some background/popping noise on the Pi's headphone jack unless I specified "-a 120:4::0". The wiki says the following about the -a option: "-a ::: Specify ALSA params to open output device, b = buffer time in ms or size in bytes, p = period count or size in bytes, f sample format (16|24|24_3|32), m = use mmap (0|1) https://www.max2play.com/en/wiki/command-line-options-for-squeezelite/ Frankly I have no idea what this means! - which buffer is affected and how do I know if the specified numbers are in ms or bytes? - what is "period count" - which sample format? Surely the FLAC is what it is? - what is mmap? Any insights, or just a reference page, would be much appreciated so I can understand more as to what is going on.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] problem with popping sounds in squeezelite
It's not as I expected. If I use /etc/init.d/squeezelite stop/start, it doesn't seem to pick up the parameters from /etc/default/squeezelite, it still takes the params from ExecStart in /etc/systemd/system/squeezelite.service. If I change the ExecStart line then on re-starting squeezelite I get a warning to run "systemctl daemon-reload" whatever that is. I do that, start squeezelite, and it picks up the new ExecStart parameters. So it seems to me with my setup which auto starts squeezelite at bootup, the settings in /etc/default/squeezelite are irrelevant.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] problem with popping sounds in squeezelite
That's very helpful. So presumably if I update /etc/default/squeezelite with the -a 120:4::0, the soundcard, -C 5 etc., then I can change the auto start line in squeezelite.service simply to "ExecStart=/usr/bin/squeezelite"? But will /etc/default/squeezelite get overwritten every time I update squeezelite? Presumbaly not ...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] problem with popping sounds in squeezelite
My boot.txt is all HDMI stuff apart from "dtparam=audio=on" which looks pretty unexciting. I had tried the -a 120:4::0 suggested at the top of this thread which seems to work. I am just trying to understand what these numbers mean. I think I'll post a new more specific thread. I have also tried your recent "-o sysdefault:CARD=Headphones" suggestion which doesn't seem to have worked either. ExecStart=/usr/bin/squeezelite -o sysdefault:CARD=Headphones -n Pi_SqueezeliteService -C 5 -a :::0 On another note, every time I make a change I reboot the Pi to be sure it takes effect. Is there an easier way to stop/start squeezelite with the new options in squeezelite.service? I'm very new to Linux! It seems I should stick these options in /etc/default/squeezelite and simplify the ExecStart line? I was a complete techie 30 years ago - haven't got a clue now!! So thank you for the help!!

Yep - I already have that: ExecStart=/usr/bin/squeezelite -o plughw:CARD=Headphones,DEV=0 -n Pi_SqueezeliteService -C 5 -a :::0 I added the -a :::0 in January after a system update caused a lot of very significant rebuffering.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] problem with popping sounds in squeezelite
I found a 3.0A PSU, used a smaller fatter USB cable, and set -a :::0. I also put a power meter on the PSU, which drew a peak of 1.4A during boot up, and then ticked along at c1.2A. Amazingly removing the 2nd USB stick dropped the power consumption by 0.2A to 1.0A. Unfortunately the popping is still there. It often seems to take a few minutes before it starts, or at least becomes audible. I have never heard it from the SB3s. Id still be interested as per my OP as to what the -a options actually do, as it did seem to fix the problem. Regarding EAC it is an excellent ripper. I never got any clicks or anything, which was initially a problem when I ripped my CD collection 20 odd years ago. It also has AccurateRip where it does some sort of CRC against a database of other peoples rips to make sure your rip is bang on. Yes it can add .cue files, although I never do that.

The Pi4 is doing nothing else, it just sits there running LMS/Squeezelite. - the popping seems to come and go, but when it occurs it is a very soft popping, random, but about once a second. It is not very noticeable - I can't see anything that looks interesting in the server log. The scanner log is empty, perhaps as I upgraded LMS from the April version today but didn't rescan the library (doing that now). On the topic of PSU, I put another USB stick in the Pi a month ago or so. Is it possible that tipped it over the edge? Not sure when the problem started as I usually only listen to radio on the Pi4.

Using Squeezer on Android which is a bit easier, skip back still doesn't seem to go back more than once (nor on IE). Frankly I am not quite sure what it does after the first skip back. However the "Skip back to start" does work as expected! I have now set skip back/forwards to 2 / 1 mins respectively. If I go to the beginning of the program, then skipping forwards seems to jump either 2 or 3 mins (rarely 1 minute as expected), but at least it does work. Skipping back seems a bit random, not sure what it is doing or even that the time delay indicator is correct.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] BBC iPlayer - Radio 4 FM not showing icon or metadata
Hi When using the iPlayer plugin for live or On Demand streaming, the BBC icon appears together with the metadata as expected.

Apologies for not being clear, and your comments have definitely helped me trouble shoot this a bit - this is a home Win 10 Pro 64 bit PC with a standard off the shelf VPN - Cyberghost (I have also used IPVanish with similar problems) - I tried the following two URLs in VLC. VLC also works only when the VLC is disconnected - http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/sbr_high/ak/bbc_radio_two.m3u8 - http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/dash/uk/dash_full/ak/bbc_radio_two.mpd - I spoke to the VPN provider and they say URLs provided as exceptions to be bypassed by the VPN only work with web browsers, and not other apps, so there we have the problem. - I am in the UK, and I'm using a UK VPN. The VPN is meant to get around BBC iPlayer by playing whackamole, but that doesn't seem to work for this. - I guess I just have to find a cleverer VPN that has split tunneling whereby you can exclude apps from the VPN, but I can't find one that does that with Windows, only Android. If anyone knows of one, or just one that works with LMS and i Player then I'd love to know but that is probably for a different thread/forum.

But that should be irrelevant since I have tried adding the following exception URLs (amongst others) which bypass the VPN altogether.

You were right, it was wishful thinking. The original problem (of not being able to play the radio station that was playing when the PC went to sleep) is still there, it just seems to be intermittent. In fact today the radio stream automatically started playing all by itself, although it took a while (30 seconds type of thing).

TBH I am not too bothered that it doesn't automatically start itself on waking, although I am surprised that it works with S4/(Hibernate) but not S3. The main problem seems to be fixed. But I don't really understand what having the Live Stream set to HLS > DASH > MP3 > FlashAAC actually means in practice.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Hard to start iPlayer after waking Win10 PC
After waking my Win10 64bit PC via LAN, it is hard to get iPlayer to start playing the radio station it was playing when the PC was put to sleep. I find I have to first play a different BBC radio station, then go back to the original one that was playing. A minor inconvenience, but it would be great if it could just resume on startup as other music does. I have "Power on Resume" set to "Pause at power off / Resume at Power on" I have 3 sync'd SB3s. This problem has been around for years, and through several installations of Win10.

I tried various combinations of Buffer Fullness and "Seconds to delay start live stream", but it had varying degrees of unreliability until the delay was set to 2 minutes. Oddly when the delay was set to either 15s or 1 minute, there was an actual delay of about 1'45 compared to DAB. With the delay set to 2 minutes, the actual delay was 2'35. Worth mentioning I have a good fibre connection so I don't think anything is going on there... On another note, the BBC 3 flac stopped working some time ago.

To get BBC iPlayer to work well I have to set the "seconds to delay start live stream" to 2 minutes. If I set it to 1 minute the playback breaks up every few minutes.

FYI, and for anyone else reading this thread, it works even better with a 2 minute delay.

I find, as you mentioned, that the "Seconds to delay start live stream" has to be set to 1 minute, otherwise it takes forever to start the stream and then breaks up a lot. If set to 1 minute the stream starts after about 3 seconds, occasionally breaks up once or twice in the first few minutes, and then settles down to be a reliable stream.

I am using the HLS streams with the iPLayer plugin (the usual streams break up for some reason). The HLS streams work very well, but it would be nice to get programme information in Now Playing. Plenty of other radio stations provide this - is it possible to get it with the iPlayer?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] SqueezeLite - pops and crackles when syncing with SB3s
I have two SB3s and SqueezeLite running on a Windows 10 desktop, all wired in. The syncing of SqueezeLite is usually out by a very noticeable split second. But more annoying is that the SqueezeLite causes crackles and pops in the SB3s, about once a minute. Presumably these occur as they all re-sync, but it only happens when SqueezeLite is sync'd. Is there a way around this, either by changing the configuration, or by using a different software player on my PC?

I am not sure exactly when as I rarely use it, but if I had to hazard a guess I'd say Liten Again stopped when I installed PLayHLS. Currently I'm using BBC iPlayer v1.3.1alpha3, BBC iPlayer Extras v1.8, and PlayHLS v1.1. I don't know when these were last installed, but iPlayer probably when my PC was rebuilt in April 2015. As iPlayer had endless re-buffering problems I installed PlayHLS several months ago. PlayHLS is better, but still not perfect. I also note, on another note, that PlayHLS has terrible sync between SB3s and SqueezeLite - it seems to gradually drift further out of sync. rbl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4517 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105135 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Thanks very much bpa - the Listen Again now works. Great stuff! My network is all wired and pretty good, with fibreoptic internet.

bpa wrote: Are you playing the Mp3 or the HLS streams ? If it is the HLS then the pauses sound like the DNS problem - you don't say which mods you tried. IIRC You need to enable network.asyncdns to see what is happening and also check whether the mods have any effect. Depending on the OS running you could try playing the BBC HLS live urls drectly with the PlayHLS plugin installed. This means ffmpeg will do the HLS processing and also deal with DNS rather than LMS if the DNS problem is with LMS rather than the OS. If playing MP3 - try enabling LMS Proxied streaming using WebUI Settings/Player/Audio/MP3 Streaming Method I am using both 1) Triodes iPLayer plugin v1.3.1alpha3 with HLS-MP3-FlashAAC-FlashMP3 2) RadioFeeds.co.uk If one doesn't work then sometimes the other seems better, although it's hard to be scientific about it. I haven't tried PlayHLS and know very little about it - is that worth a shot? I don't one to interfere with the other, but I guess that probably isn't a problem, as in both can coexist happily? Ill try proxy streaming, but it says LMS defaults to this when SB3s are sync'd, which in my case they are. Back in March I tried changing the DNS server to Google's - 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] What is the best way to get BBC Radio these days (from the UK)?
R4 is better right now, but it dropped out a few minutes ago, a few seconds before 12.10.00 today. I had enabled logging, and the file is attached. There are errors at 12:10:23 but the dropout definitely happened before this.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] What is the best way to get BBC Radio these days (from the UK)?
Sorry, but it is a nightmare digging through all the endless problems people have had over recent months with iPlayer / BBC Radio. Just wondering, what is the currently accepted best way to get BBC live radio for a UK listener? Currently using BBC iPlayer (v1.3.1alpha3) plugin, with a good fibreoptic connection in London, and get endless re-buffering. Today it is unbelievably bad - I bitterly regret selling my old Quad FM tuner now! rbl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4517 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] What is the best way to get BBC Radio these days (from the UK)?
Thanks. Good to know that at least I am running the right iPlayer version etc.. Am running LMS 7.7.5 on a Win7 64bit dual core 3.1GHz i3-2100 desktop with 8GB ram and SSD. It otherwise works very well! It seems that a lot of people are having buffering problems, and for me at least there are definitely good and bad days. Guess will work through it all, just there are now so many posts, and I don't even know which posts are relevant since I believe BBC have changed there end several times over the last few months. rbl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4517 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer freezes occasionally
I have used iPlayer for a long time and it is basically very good. However, every so often it freezes. Sometimes it kicks starts itself again after 10-30seconds, sometimes it doesn't. This happened on my old TalkTalk copper connection, but it still happens with my new BT fibre connection. I live in central London, and whenever I do a bandwidth test I always get close to 40Mb/s, and it seems very reliable so I suspect the problem is elsewhere.

I do not want to lose quality, and therefore it felt sensible to just keep it in the original AAC 320kbit format.
