Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Protect Library Views?
The only way I know to do that is to run a second instance of LMS. Probably a headache I guess. But probably worth it if the split is that important? But then users could still switch server...

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS will not auto start
Every time I start up my vortexbox (VB), I have to log into my VB appliance and manually start LMS using a Linux command on putty. How can I get LMS to autostart when I turn my VB appliance on? I am using VortexBox SW Version: 2.4 and LMS version: 7.9.1 - 0.6.20170928git1508251793.

Glad to see you found a solution with reasonable changes! If I may comment on your questions: Code: 1) why can't jivelite deal with the simplest setup of all components being in the same box? why not default to localhost when any connection fails? I think JiveLite was designed to emulate the behavior of a dedicated player device such as the SB3 or Touch. In this scenario the LMS server was always on some other computer over the network. Squeezelite is simply the network stream decoder translating the stream (or file) to a DAC playable format. Code: 2) how can i get rid of the linksys router, a 'dummy' gateway? I'm sure you work something out. You have a couple of suggestions above :) Code: 3) jivelite being UI for the player squeezelite, why is it talking directly to LMS? i imagined the design was jivelite<-->squeezelite<-->lms No, JiveLite is not the UI for Squeezelite. JiveLite is the UI for LMS since that is where the music is stored and everything is managed, where the functional additions are implemented in plugins etc. Squeezelite have no such functionality whatsoever. 2 Touch, 1 Picoreplayer 4.0.0 on RaspBerry 3B with 7" display LMS latest nightly on Ubuntu 18.04.1 on Intel Core2 Duo E4500 @ 2.20GHz, 2GB All wired BosseJ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67378 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109789 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] IP addr assigned to LMS
If you really want to continue to use the phone as the connection to the internet then what I would do is. Id get a wireless Ethernet router. Thats a router with Ethernet connection Wan side and normal lan / WiFi onnthe private side. Then Id plug a Wireless Access Point configured in client mode into the WAN port. Id use this to connect to your mobile hotspot when its available, Id rebuild the Pi as a LAN only device and give it a reserved IP from the private side dhcp server. Then Id open and forward TCP 9000 & TCP/UDP 3483 from the WAN interface to the IP of the Pi. That will let your phone access an Control LMS The existence of a proper router will ensure that LMS will work with or without an internet connection. The port forwarding is safe in this scenario even without password as there is a further router in play in the form of the hotspot. I appreciate you have added 2 boxes into the equation but this will work and doesnt involve an additional SIM card.

I think you have now isolated the real issue which is completely different to what was originally posted. I fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling Jivelite but I was using piCorePlayer which has a version of Jivelite precompiled and is one click install and / or uninstall.

Enable player.sync logging to get a better idea of what is happening
with slimp3 to prevent syncing/playing.
Also the order in which you create a sync group can affect behaviour.
Try SliMP3 as the first ("master") player in a group. Sync players into
a group before starting to play anyhting.

OK. There is a copy of avaconv available for raspbian Jessie but from a 3rd party site Without consistent symptoms, it is not worthwhile trying "solutions" as it will not be clear if the "solution" has had good/bad effect. I suspect your system was caching a lot of disk stuff (e.g. flac, lame, audio files, directories) in RAM and overnight these caches have expired/cleared out and so now some activities are taking longer. This could indicate that your system is at the edge of being able to support a synced SliMP3. Your previous log also showed some very long BBCiPlayer network fetches - so perhaps you also have some ISP issues into the mix (i.e. don't use network streams as a basis for tests) bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109799 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

You're a very patient person! Thanks. Pi wasn't rebooted. Music is on a permanently mounted hard drive. About 900 albums. But the server was rebooted a few times (I tend to do it when I fiddle with settings). Apparently I'm running Raspbian GNU/Linux, Version 8 (Jessie).

What distro are you using ? ffmpeg or avconv is available for raspbian and many of the "mainline" Pi distros But it would be better to test with sox as it should be on your system as part of LMS unless you have a custom LMS distro (how did you install LMS? ) bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109799 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Problem playing flac files on Slimp3 (but only when sync'ed)
You're going to hate me, and I don't know why this has happened, but symptoms are different today! Can't get anything to play with the players synced. They all look like they're playing, on the web interface, the Slimp3 player (displaying a time remaining progress bar that ticks down) and the controller. Flac and mp3 similar (although the mp3 took longer to get going). BBC live and on demand: Slimp3 goes quickly through "Connecting..." and "Buffering" and sticks at "Waiting to sync..." I am puzzled. What has changed? I've restarted the server a few times. I changed the players "Minimum Synchronisation Adjustment" from 10ms to 202ms and now back again. I've given the server a higher priority (using the Advanced tab of the LMS web interface) and the scanner a slightly lower priority. The Pi is just used as a music server, so I don't think anything significant should have happened overnight. Just to reiterate. I appreciate your help a lot and am still convinced I tested well yesterday and saw the symptoms previously described. But having some experience in user support, if I was you, I wouldn't believe me...

Perhaps you could ask Ralphy in the JiveLite thread in these forums,
https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?98156-Announce-JiveLite-cut-down-squeezebox-control-application
if there is any way to force JiveLite to always use the eth0
192.168.1.23 IP as the LMS server and never the wireless IP?
Assuming you compiled from the Github sources, Ralphy's fork, and not
from Googlecode archive (Triode's original sources).
BTW, it seems as JiveLite only communicates with the LMS server and the
LMS server then controls the Squeezelite player software. There seems to
be no direct connection between JiveLite and Squeezelite. This explains
why you only loose control ability on the local display of the PI3B+,
but never on the PC/laptop browser to the LMS web gui. LMS listens on
all interfaces, if wlan fails it doesn't matter for the eth0 traffic.
However, JiveLite chooses one interface for communication with LMS and
sticks with that. Besides, JiveLite seem to prefer the wlan, perhaps
because that is the only network route which can provide DNS replies.
(You could, as a test for this speculation, setup a small DNS server
elsewhere on your network just to provide replies, a small footprint
caching DNS will be fine. Then start the PI3B+ without the hotspot
available and see what gives - check the JiveLite configs for LMS server
IP etc.)

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Problem playing flac files on Slimp3 (but only when sync'ed)
Thought a bit more about this overnight. Since BBCiPlayer sync OK and flac files don't - the issue seems to be processor related. For live BBCiPlayer streams are delivered in 6 secs chunk - so processor runs faad/lame to convert a 6 sec chunk which is then ready to send out- processor then waits for next 6 sec chunk to arrive so has time to deal with SLimp3. Flac files will be process by flac and lame but processor will try to process whole source flac file (e.g. 3 minutes long) in one go and so processor will be very intensively used for a longer peiod compared to the 6 sec chunk of BBCiPlayer. I wonder whether changing the LMS default transcode chain of 2 processes Flac and Lame and pipes - to a single ffmpeg process might be easier on the processor. Do you have (or can install) ffmpeg (aka avconv) on your system which has LMS ? For completeness - please confirm sync is OK for both BBCiPLayer live and On-demand ? bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109799 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
