Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Multiple albums of same name (but different releases) in library

2021-02-06 Thread Michael Herger

I recently got a Raspberry Pi 4 for Home Assistant. Perhaps I can play
around and try to install LMS on it as well. I will need to dive into
this and spend some time on that, perhaps the issue has been fixed. In
any case, thank you so far.

Or just use your PC?

I'm wondering if this is because before the "Custom Clock Helper" plugin

right side. It is no longer there.  If it were to be restored would that

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Custom Clock Helper in Unsupported Category

When running the Custom Clock plugin from the radio there comes the
point where a "Style" is to be selected from a list but the list never
is presented.  It hangs up displaying "fetching styles".

I'm wondering if this is because before the "Custom Clock Helper" plugin
was moved to the "Unsupported" category it had a "Settings" link to the
right side. It is no longer there.  If it were to be restored would that

You'll find this happens with quite a few software packages. And I've

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS on multi-homed hosts

2021-02-06 Thread troffasky


Got nowhere with the extra logging. However, I think I've made a mistake
in my analysis of what the code is doing. 
The message "Access to CLI is restricted to the local network ..." is
emitted on line 250 of CLI/Plugin.pm, but the check against
isAllowedHosts won't ever happen if  that message has been emitted,
because the connection is closed by that point. 
So no, adding IP addresses to allowedHosts won't do anything for CLI
clients, because  the allowedHosts list isn't checked if the client
already failed the ip_on_different_network test on line 248.

Actually, I think this should have worked. Currently it's 
192.168.1.*,127.0.0.1
and my client is 192.168.1.43.
CLI plugin:
https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/blob/4e5530a50b7906a531ffe6b7b7054e072f6bc9dd/Slim/Plugin/CLI/Plugin.pm#L253

which checks it against the allowedHosts preference.
I will turn up the debugging and test some more.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS on multi-homed hosts

2021-02-06 Thread troffasky


My server has multiple NICs and LMS inevitably considers the one with a
public IP [no, the internet does not have access to the LMS services] to
be the "local" network, leading to the CLI interface not working from
the actual LAN:

[21-02-06 14:54:53.8613] Slim::Plugin::CLI::Plugin::cli_socket_accept
(250) Access to CLI is restricted to the local network or localhost:
192.168.1.43

I have attempted a few different fixes without success:


-  Set bindAddress to the LAN IP in server.prefs. Doesn't seem to make
  any difference, service still listens on * rather than the specified
  IP.
-  Set allowedHosts to the LAN subnet in server.prefs. Doesn't make
  any difference to CLI.
-  Add SLIMOPTIONS="--httpaddr 192.168.1.3" to
  /etc/default/logitechmediaserver
  


The only thing I've found so far that works is to down the NIC that it
assumes is local, restart LMS, then up the NIC. Once the NIC is back up,
the Server IP Address reported on the status page goes back to the
public IP [but the CLI interface still works].

Seems like the logic here:

https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/blob/public/8.2/Slim/Utils/IPDetect.pm

prefers the interface with the public IP rather than the private,
because the one with the public IP has the default route on it. 
How can I hard-code the local network, or at least hint to LMS what I
want it to do?

to use another LMS instance.

The article is from 2015 - around the same time that streaming services
such as Spotify started becoming mainstream - so there may have been a
bigger target for copying than CDs.

I'm just highlighting that the tech that underpins CD streaming in
realtime for LMS is getting harder for developers & vendors to support
and will likely fade away in "standard" systems.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Player library views and random mix preferences interaction?

2021-02-06 Thread epoch1970

The employees take care of their shop and their customers. There is an
audio ambiance in the store, it’s only logic that employees can interact
with what’s playing.
Skipping a song or pausing music isn’t quite enough. Some customers have
a taste in music and sometimes have asked to listen to a particular song
or artist... Not often, but it happened.

I was asked to make a system that worked consistently. Not exposing the
web interface would have been easy, but it’s never been an option to
impose on the team one more system they have no control over. They have
the right to control, and it has to be robust.

When you say they make manual selection.. Do you mean they are allowed
to clear random mix playlist and add theirs selected album / song/
playlist ?
Or they can only skip or choose different song from your generated 
playlist?

If former then it seems user vs machine (programmer) problem and I don't
know why library view would make a difference..
I think don't quite understand.. You would have to stop them somehow to
mess everything up [emoji23].. Or train proper use.. 

If it really is library views which you believe causes problem then you
could also segregate music with basic tags.. You can have multiple genre
tags with separator of your choice, so basically you could add genre tag
"safe" which would be used in 10am random mix.. This in scenario with
one main library maybe could work.? . I don't know.. Just thinking at
loud .

I think you are on the right lines there Paul. One Joggler was running
Random Song Mix so different artwork with each track, and it
consistently failed trying to open the fourth track. The other Joggler
was streaming Greatest Hits Radio so the station logo did not change but
the artist and song titles did. That one would stay working for over an
hour before crashing as the buffer presumably filled up a lot slower?

I redeployed my RPi from LMS to Pi-Hole and Unifi Controller duties and
as I have an 'always on' PC for security cameras and Emby media server
it seemed to make sense.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Player library views and random mix preferences interaction?

2021-02-06 Thread epoch1970

Ok, the real scenario is this: 
- A shop with multiple players and multiple shop assistants 
- Big library and Pi3 server, USB drive, HFS+ filesystem (dont
ask) in the office. Scans and searches take a while.
- The big library has 3 top folders, 2 virtual libs are created off 2
of these.
- Morning at 7AM employees start coming in. A script fires. It finds
available players, creates a sync group, sets the group leader to
virtual lib 1, make it play random songs
- Morning at 10AM customers start coming in. A script fires, puts
players to sleep, re-does same as above but over a much safer library 2.
- Evening 8PM the shop closes down. A script fires to put players to
sleep.
- Next morning 5AM, run a routine DB scan to get ready for the next
day.
- During the day a shop assistant may use the web interface and make
manual selections. My automaton derails if Random mix was set to use a
virtual lib in particular.

Back to your suggestion, I could perhaps at night after the rescan
create 2 huge playlists. IÂm not sure how IÂd do that
programmatically.
But during the day people may want to use the web interface (actually
they do, thatÂs why the problem has emerged). 
A library view is much superior to a playlist for my scenario, in that
you can interact with whatÂs playing the way you want via the web
interface, only youÂre in a sandbox. Playlists are much more
static.

Don't shoot me.. Just brain storming workaround not proper solution.. :)

How about: (if you libraries are not mega massive) 
-remove playlist limit
-add all songs from a Alice library
-save as playlist Alice
-play with cron at time of choice and shuffle enable playlist Alice

Once a while recreate playlist to include new songs or just add to
playlist

Like I said not proper solution but possibly workaround?

I'm not sure it is about sentiment. I'm just stating the logical
progression based on previous developer/vendor behaviour.

cdda2wav was written over 20 years ago for PC for ATAPI & SCSI
interfaces - neither of which has being used in PC hardware for over 10
years. 

At some point the the OS developers will decide emulating "old"
interfaces is not worth the effort,  just like they are no longer
supporting 8086 16 bit processors which was the architecture when ATAPI
was created. 
The last minor update to cdd2wav was in 2015 and cdda2wav is no longer a
maintained package in many distros.

It is getting harder to buy internal/external CD/DVD/BD drives as there
are fewer maker of such drives for PCs.
CD drive no longer are standard with PC or laptops.  CDROM (650Mb) &
DVD-ROM (4.7Gb) are no longer used for backup by users - USB sticks &
cloud storage are more reliable and convenient.

CDs can be ripped using modern CD/DVD/BD drives with modern s/w using
modern fast interface such as SATA - there is no need to stream in
realtime track from a CD. However, for mainstream systems this is likely
to stop at some point so be prepared.

Yes youre getting closer :) thats what my script does:
pick a player, set it to a library view and start random play.
Alices player plays a random list of Alices songs, and
same for Bob.
Only that no longer works for Alice when someone fiddles with the random
mix settings through the web interface and locks it to pick songs from
the Songs for Bob library view. And conversely.
The only way everybody stays happy is to set random mix to select from
the entire database it seems. 

I dont know how to lock that pref, nor how to undo it via the
CLI. 
I dont understand the scope of this pref exists in the web
interface. 
TBH I think this is a bug.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS killed my Jogglers!

2021-02-06 Thread Heuer


Been running 24 hours now with no problems. Both Jogglers are running as
controllers rather than players. As I earlier suspected the problem
seems to be on LMS for Windows and I guess most Joggler users, being
gadget's, use Linux.

I wonder if any other instances of Squeezeplayer on other devices are
affected?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Connect CD drive to Raspberry PI for LMS

2021-02-06 Thread counterpoint


That would be a pity. The reasons against ripping hundreds of CDs are
the time taken and the fact that it is illegal in the UK to make copies
of copyright material, even if you do own it in one format.

It seems to me that if one has switched to operating with streaming
players, each of which has its own DAC, then a CD player is a useful
reserve for old CDs. But it needs to provide digital streaming rather
than an analogue output, as it is obviously degrading the material if it
goes through a DAC in a CD player only to be digitised again to stream.
Such a CD player ought to be very simple, but it is hard to find either
hardware or software to build (or buy) one neatly.
