Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Help me get the LMS working again under MacOS Mojave
This may be an issue. I think my initial username did change subsequent to moving to a new computer. I had an issue using the username from my old machine. Ok, in this case my fix script might fail. Please fire up a terminal and run: ls -l ~/Library/Logs/ | grep Squeezebox What would that give you? Sometimes there's a problem with the permissions on that folder (as you've seen in the test you run previously). Make sure your user has full access to that folder and its content. -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Secure Remote Streaming to Mobile Player
Hi, I know this question or similar has been asked many times before, but now that mobile streaming is all the rage with the hip young kids, I was wondering if someone has come up with a solution... I've been doing some searching and tested 2 other products that allow secure External Streaming- i.e. Tonido & SubSonic, on both VortexBox as well as native Windows installs of both these products. Tonido is nice because the service proxies the stream (+1 for that) SubSonic relies on a port forwarding setup within your router (it tries to do it for you via UPNP). Not really a fan of that. Both of there products use HTTPS, well the SubSonic setup of this is a manual process :(. Since we all know (cough..) that we should NEVER expose the LMS server directly to the Internet, I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a solution (software and/or services stack) to allow our favorite mobile players to connect to LMS like the Tonido & Subsonic players can. If it matters, I've also tested encapsulating the LMS servers HTTP stream via 'stunnel', and can get to LMS without issue this way, including the ../stream.mp3 method of playing tunes. Are there any others options that should be looked at? Mobile apps that setup a lighter weight proxy tunnel, rather than a full blown VPN connection? Would this take both a server-side component (Could this be done with a plugin?) and would the players need modifications also? Has anyone overcome these challenges yet? Obviously, the best option would be something that fully encapsulates LMS, with features like: - Proxying of the the stream - A frontend login with multiple usernames/passwords - Accounts would have restrictions on what the mobile player can do when it's operating in truly mobile mode - - Whether it can only control itself or other players - Whether is can change server settings/cause a rescan, etc. - I for one would LOVE to have Pippin of iPeng fame build this missing piece, and then charge a small annual fee for access ;) *Player: *1 x Transporter w/Trans-knob, 2 x Touch (Active, 3 x Spares), 4 x Boom (Active, 9 x Spares) *Server: *1 x Win Server (ESXi 6.x) w/LMS, 1 x HP 24" Touch Screen PC w/LMS & SqueezePlay *Control: *4 x w/iPeng, 1 x Samsung Note 4, 3ea x Fire 7", 8 tablets, 1 x 10" all w/SqueezeCtrl & Player (Angry Goat) *Audio: *Mark Levinson 23.5 Amp, 380s Pre, 390s CD, B 801 II, Acoustic Energy AE-2 signature, SOTA Sapphire table Computer geek/tech hoarder(!), and DAMN I love the LMS/Squeeze infrastructure! markm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65015 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109840 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

In my 30+ years of building PC's, I've never experienced something like that. Computers can run without BIOS battery, it's just that the computer will constantly prompt you for the default BIOS settings after it loses power. *Player: *1 x Transporter w/Trans-knob, 2 x Touch (Active, 3 x Spares), 4 x Boom (Active, 9 x Spares) *Server: *1 x Win Server (ESXi 6.x) w/LMS, 1 x HP 24" Touch Screen PC w/LMS & SqueezePlay *Control: *4 x w/iPeng, 1 x Samsung Note 4, 3ea x Fire 7", 8 tablets, 1 x 10" all w/SqueezeCtrl & Player (Angry Goat) *Audio: *Mark Levinson 23.5 Amp, 380s Pre, 390s CD, B 801 II, Acoustic Energy AE-2 signature, SOTA Sapphire table Computer geek/tech hoarder(!), and DAMN I love the LMS/Squeeze infrastructure! markm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65015 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109816 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Odd AAC/M4A Issue
I've been fooling around with downloading videos from YouTube and demuxing the AAC streams into M4A files. (Note: Not for piracy of easily paid-for items, but for things like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtldnhbjmEs.) LMS will happily play the resulting files via drag and drop or Music Folder, but will not recognize the metadata and, I assume for that reason, doesn't add them to the library after a scan. The files behave completely normally when opened in Foobar2000, mp3tag and (shockingly!) even in iTunes. I'm using ffmpeg to do the work and can immediately see via its helper ffprobe that there are differences in the metadata. A "normal" AAC/M4A file starts off with: Code: major_brand : M4A minor_version : 0 compatible_brands: M4A mp42isom While the files LMS doesn't like start off with: Code: major_brand : M4V minor_version : 512 compatible_brands: isomiso2avc1 I plan to keep looking at the ffmpeg documentation to see if I can find any obvious answer, but it makes my brain hurt, so I thought I'd ask here first just in case someone else has encountered this. atrocity's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109839 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
