Have you checked the Mysb account? As I recall it the Tidal plugin was
initiated there, including Tidal account credentials.
But then again, I may remember completely wrong due to old age :-)

It looks like you have two LMS servers running?  Both on the
OpenMediaVault (Debian based NAS) and also an instance under Win10? It
is possible but care should be taken to ensure that the players are not
confused. If you open the LMS web gui on the OMV-server, what players do
you see? The same as on the Win10? A player (JiveLite, SB's, Squeezelite
etc) can only be connected to one server at a time.
I may have misunderstood your setup, if so please correct me :-)

Thanks, a bit clearer: your LMS server runs on the OMV-machine which
hosts the music library, your NUC machine (Macos/Win10/Linux) is used as
client.
The Jivelite player under Macos plays all tracks and do not stop
prematurely, but whatever you run under Win10 as player do stop after
two tracks.

I wonder if LMS gets confused when you reboot the NUC under another OS
and start another player there; LMS identifies the players by the
MAC-address on the client network card, which should be the same when
switch from Macos to Win10. You can look in the prefs directory on the
OMV machine how many playlist files you have (the MAC address is part of
the file name).

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] SoundOpinions Podcast does not stream for me anymore - can't connect...

I never listens to pods so I may have had this issue long, but when I
randomly picked a Ted pod from the webgui, it failed in the same
manner.
The server log showed these lines:

Well done, whatever you did :-) It works for me too.

But I have to confess that the pod I randomly picked yesterday still
don't work - but then I didn't try any other at the time. I did now and
all other pods are working.
Maybe I picked an unusual pod cast - lack of file? Would explain the 404

Can't be sure there really was a problem ...

Try finding the file by:
- login to the Pi with ssh
- on the command prompt write:
find / -name Plugin.pm -print

A list should appear and you should find the proper file among those. On
my system (Ubuntu server) it is
"/usr/share/perl5/Slim/Plugin/DontStopTheMusic/Plugin.pm".

There should be more than one MusicMagic folder? On my system (Ubuntu
server) the full path is
"/usr/share/perl5/Slim/Plugin/MusicMagic/Plugin.pm".
I found it by searching for Plugin.pm using the command
find / -name Plugin.pm -print
It was a bit down the list of hits ...

In my Ubuntu-server the playlists are stored in the prefs folder,
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs. The /var/lib/squeezeboxserver folder
and everything below that is owned by the user defined for the LMS
server (squeezeboxserver).
The paths are displayed under Settings -> Information in the LMS web

A long shot perhaps, but have you tried to proxy streaming through your
local LMS? The players from Logitech (SB, Touch, Radio etc) are not
updated in their basic OS functions, especially the network stack may be
outdated in some cases (e.g. https based streaming is not possible
directly from these players).
Open the web gui to your local LMS, go to Settings -> Player -> choose
player -> choose Audio (or Sound), on the settings page choose "Proxied
streaming" from the drop-down box next to last.
(I have a swedish language LMS so I have to guess the correct wording in
english.)

Don't forget to switch your player to use the local LMS first and ensure
that the player is recognized by LMS: see Settings -> Information.

No, nothing like that. It tells LMS to receive the stream and forward it
to the player. If the setting is "Direct streaming" the player is
setting up the audio stream itself. Sort of any way.

It is possible that the router is blocking internet access for your
Vortexbox server since you have statically assigned an IP-address on the
server and at the same time made a reservation in the router (to be
handed out when the Vortexbox request a DHCP-address, which it doesn't).
>From the router perspective the Vortexbox has a duplicate IP_address and

IP-addresses on the network).
You could test by either configuring the Vortexbox to use DHCP or to
remove the reservation in the router. I would recommend to test DHCP
first.

Good to hear it's fixed :-) 
It's a good solution to use reservation IP's in the router (as you did)
to get the the benefits of both the simple client configuration and the
ease of finding for example the LMS server or a printer on the network.
Much easier to maintain over time IMO.

Open a command window (terminal) and type:

Code:

sudo lsof -PiTCP -sTCP:LISTEN

 

This will give you a list of all programs that are listening on some
port (tcp protocol). Look for some program whose line ends with

Code:

*:9000 (LISTEN)

 or similar.

(I don't have a MacOS X available so I'm unsure about the exact layout
for the lsof command output.)

Maybe the need you're describing is - more or less - fulfilled by the

Look at the commandline for starting Squeezelite. If no server is
specified Squeezelite searches for a server via the network and of
course the LMS server replies via the network interface it received the
call on.
>From the Squeezelite man-page:

Code:

-s [:]
  Connect  to  the  specified Logitech Media Server, otherwise uses automatic 
discovery to find server on the local network. This option should only be 
needed if automatic discovery does not work, or the server is not on the local 
network segment (e.g. behind a router).



Try to tell Squeezelite to attach to localhost since they both reside on
the same PI3B+, by adding parameter 
Code:

-s localhost

 on the commandline to start Squeezelite.

Even if you could define a gateway statically on the ethernet network,
where should it point? You don't have any other routers you wrote and I
got the impression that your only internet access is via the mobile
hotspot (the mobile phone)? I assume that your PC and laptop have the
same general solution as the PI3B+, ie wireless to your mobile (for
internet access) and ethernet cable to your powerline backbone for
access to your LMS/Jivelite device (the PI3B+). I assume you have
manually set IP-addresses on the ethernet side on the PC and laptop
also.

It makes some sense that you can access the LMS on the PI3B+ from your
PC/laptop via 192.168.1.23 (ie via the powerline backbone) since I
believe LMS listens on all interfaces. But why it should stop working
when you remove the wireless connection is beyond me. And why the local
playback from a locally attached USB-drive should stop when the wireless
to the phone is disconnected is also incomprehensible to me. Perhaps ssh
in to your LMS and monitor the LMS server log (eg 'sudo tail -f
/var/log/squeezeboxserver/server.log') and then stop hotspot and see
what the LMS has to say about that.

Perhaps you should ask on a Raspian 9 forum. It is too difficult to
"debug" this without Raspian experience. Sorry, I can't help.

In addition to reviewing your network you should review how you mount
the USB-drive: try to do it manually, as basic as possible to remove any
hidden dependencies to network (whatever they may be).
How do you add music to the USB-drive? Using Samba (SMB export)? That
could be a source for network dependency.

As for the network, it is not surprising that it gets confused when you
have a key component such as the internet gateway walking around in the
house and appearing randomly :-)
Try to make all network connections manually and static, even for the
wifi on the PI3B+: use dhcp for ip-address only but set the route
manually to have it persistent.
Do you have NetworkManager active on the Raspian/PI3B+? Disable that and
set everything manually.

If you can get an extra data SIM from your mobile operator cheap (or for
free), the advice to use a 4G router is excellent. That would stop the
internet gateway from disappearing and reappearing randomly :-) And your
phone could use the same wifi network when at home (no need for a mobile
hotspot function). Your PC & laptop would be happy with a permanent
gateway. You could keep your powerline backbone only as a fallback for
access to LMS.

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.)

Hmm, I always find it hard to follow my advice :-( 
I am not a windows user (well, some perhaps, but by no means with any
administrator skills) so I cannot really recommend a dns caching server
for windows with confidence, but I could hint at one that seems to do
what's expected for a simple test:
http://mayakron.altervista.org/wikibase/show.php?id=AcrylicHome
I guess there's a few hours learning curve even for that, but you seem
to have skills so maybe it goes faster for you.

Other solutions to (temporarily) add a dns server to your backbone LAN
would be to install dnsmasq on some *nix based device. Perhaps your NAS
(which I think you mentioned earlier)? That would also open up the
possibility to run dnsmasq as a combined dns/dhcp server on your
backbone which would ease future expansions, such as adding more
devices. 
You could probably also install dnsmasq on your PI3B+, but that would
further complicate things I'm afraid (you would need to force dnsmasq to
only listen on etho and not lo or wlan0).

Yes, it sound strange.
First, LMS does get any IP-address by itself, the OS on the device (the
PI3B+) does by dhcp broadcast on the connected interfaces. LMS uses
whatever IP-address the OS reports, but LMS is not designed to handle
dual networks as far as I know (it can, but may be confused sometimes).
When you say that you have both ethernet and wifi connected on the
PI3B+, you have dual network interfaces on that machine active at the
same time. If you haven't set any static IP-address on either ethernet
or wifi on the PI3B+ and you still get IP-addresses when connected, then
you have at least two dhcp-servers on you network. And they are probably
not the same since they provide IP-addresses from different sub-nets.
Or I may have misunderstood your network, of course :-)

Some clarifying answers would help I think:
1. Into what kind of device is the other end of the ethernet cable
connected? A switch - what other devices are connected to that then? A
router - is it the same as the wifi hotspot or something else?
2. What kind of device is the mobile hotspot? Your mobile smartphone? A
3G/4G router?
(I am trying to clarify how many internet connections you have and the
rough layout of your network.)
3. What application is "My Music" and on what device are you running
that? (My Music is a menu item on the web GUI on LMS, is that what
you're referring to? Where do you then run the browser to the LMS web
GUI?)

Also, to clarify your network, please log in to your Pi3B+ using ssh
(for example Putty on a Windows PC) from some local computer.
In the terminal ssh-window, run command 
Code:

sudo route

 and show us the result.
Next, run command 
Code:

ifconfig

, both with and without the ethernet cable attached and show the
results.

Hopefully it will be a bit clearer and maybe somewhat easier to provide
useful advice.

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.

Which is an excellent idea IMHO. I do that every time I've added or
changed some album or tracks (and no need to force anything, simply open
the album in the "Music Folder" menu). Perfect when I've done some
simple change like added or replaced the album cover graphic. It's
quick, only affect that album and nothing else AFAICT.
I rarely use the full re-scan, perhaps once a year at most, and never
the partial re-scan.

Have you set the Last.fm connection in your Tidal account profile?
(If you also have the Last.fm plugin installed in LMS, maybe the Tidal
setting becomes superfluous and even causing double scrobble when
streaming from Tidal using the LMS plugin.)

disclaimer: I don't use Last.fm myself but I am frequently streaming
Tidal through my LMS.

Yes, curious indeed.
I wonder if it is related to my server having no WLAN and no
NetworkManager involved? Everything is managed by the if-up/if-down
scripts. Here's the output from the "ip addr" command which shows the
suppressed eth1. Maybe "netstat" picks up these interfaces even though
one of them has no IP assigned? The "0.0.0.0" local address is maybe
shown in analogy with how the external destination addresses are shown.

On my Ubuntu 18.04 I have the same 0.0.0.0 local addresses for most of
my listening connections, very few are the active LAN address or the
127.0.0.1 address. I THINK it is because I have a secondary interface,
not connected or active, that causes the somewhat strange Local Address
identities. Here's what my /etc/network/interfaces look like:


Code:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
  # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
  
  # The loopback network interface
  auto lo eth0
  iface lo inet loopback
  
  # The primary network interface
  iface eth0 inet dhcp
  
  # the secondadry interface
  allow-hotplug eth1



BTW, I do not have the issues the OP is describing. I think it is
something else, possibly the ickStream plugin.

I think the default port that is used in server discovery by the clients
is 3483 (not 3438). Besides I don't think that this is a parameter in
the server.prefs file, it should hard-coded in both the server and
client software.
A suggestion is for you to open the firewall to incoming udp/tcp 3483
from your LAN. I guess you already have port 9000 open? You should also
check the setting for the CLI command (Settings -> Advanced ->
Commandline) and open that port as well (by default it is 9090).

I suggest that you check with the IT people at your company. My
experience is that professional VPN connections to company networks is
always landing at your PC/laptop as endpont and as such it "steals" the
NIC address and connection. I e, it is not possible to have dual NIC
functionality (two networks at the same time) on your PC/laptop. It will
probably also affect your ability to use your own LAN attached printers
at home when connected to work.

Then again, I may be totally off here. Talk to the IT people at your
company. They may have a solution for you.

You didn't mention the operating system for your LMS installation but if
it is some Linux version and the track file name is something like
"!!.flac" then it may not be accepted by the OS.
Here's some result I get on my Linux Mint 19.3 laptop when trying to
create files with "!!" in the filename. Not a good idea it seems
...
29381
I would avoid more than one !-mark in the filename if the OS is
Linux-based.

Your amp is capable of receiving and playing streams over both UPNP and
Airplay? If so I think the Andy Grundman plugin "UPnP/DLNA Media
Interface" should be removed, it only acts a server for devices that
wants to browse and pick streaming files. You need the Philippe plugin
"UPNP/DLNA bridge" instead since it would make your UPNP/DLNA acpable
players available as any Squeezebox player.
In addition I think d6jg explained the gaps when using the Airplay
plugin: the Grundman plugin may cause temporary network storms.

(I hope I explained this correctly, I'm not using UPNP/DLNA myself.)

As a follow-up: I was worried enough about some of the reports here to
pause my planned upgrade of my main server from Ubuntu 18.04.5 to
20.04.1 while I tested a fresh install of Ubuntu (server version) on an
IntelNUC I had available.

On the IntelNUC machine:
1) after OS install, I installed nfs-common and mounted the music files
residing on my main server over NFS and made sure it was working ok.
Nothing else was installed.
2) I downloaded LMS (logitechmediaserver_8.0.0~1602486506_amd64.deb)
using wget
3) installed with "sudo -i ", but that
failed with unresolved dependency for libio-socket-ssl-perl
4) "apt install libio-socket-ssl-perl" also failed because of unresolved
dependencies, but "apt --fix-broken install" was recommended.
5) running "apt --fix-broken install" resolved all issues; a handful of
other packages were downloaded and installed in addition to
libio-socket-ssl-perl, but unfortunately I didn't make a note of them
:-(

After this LMS started nicely using "systemctl start
logitechmediaserver". No problem with start-stop-daemon, it was there -
installed as part of the OS-package (package lsb-base). (I suspect
alex.h's problems arose from a failed OS update?)
I then ran LMS on the IntelNUC for 2-3 days to make sure there were no
other sissues, but none appeared. I then upgraded my main server to
Ubuntu 20.04.1, and much to my relief the upgrade went fine and LMS
worked as before.
(My main server is very old, cirka 2007 I believe. I installed Ubuntu
12.04 LTS in 2013 and since I have upgraded to 14.04 -> 16.04 -> 18.04,
so it has most likely picked up a lot of entropy in terms of old and
unsupported packages etc. OS upgrades don't remove packages that are
installed outside the package manager.)

If there is any interest in what extra packages were installed when
running "apt --fix-broken install", I'd be happy to retrace my steps and
massage the IntelNUC with a new fresh install.

Have you checked your settings for AdditionalBrowseModes, in

I think the decision to focus support and development efforts to version
8.x only is a sound one. But with regard to the issue of older plugins
not maintained and the "max version" parameter in these, can we not
simply delegate the decision to install these old plugins by means of a
new preference setting that controls whether the "max version" parameter
is honored or not? It is already possible to force an installation
manually (after editing some file in the module). If the default
preference is "honor the module setting" it would require a conscious (I
hope) decision by the user to override it.

I think there is (was?) a bug in LMS 8.x similar to the Radio 'version

The latest build of LMS 8.0.1 from today is supposed to fix that (8.0.1

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Installing plugins without regard to max version

2020-12-10 Thread BosseJ


(M Herger suggested I post this proposal in a separate thread. Here goes
...)
There is a parameter setting in the plugins stating the "max version"
such as "7.*" which LMS honors and refuse to install or even display in
the "3rd party plugins" list. However, they are retained when upgrading
LMS if they are already installed. It is also possible to install them
manually after editing the parameter, if they can be found and
downloaded. So far this has mostly been a matter of alerting the plugin
maintainer who after some initial testing (usually) updates the
parameter to "8.*" or similar. But some plugins are unmaintained or the
maintainer lacks the time and resources to do testing (and consequent
maintenance).

With regard to the issue of older plugins not maintained and the "max
version" parameter in these, can we not simply delegate the decision to
install these old plugins by means of a new preference setting that
controls whether the "max version" parameter is honored or not? It is
already possible to force an installation manually (after editing some
file in the module). If the default preference is "honor the module
setting" it would require a conscious (I hope) decision by the user to
override it.

Furthermore, bpa's suggestion is excellent:
> As the plugin with 7.* are not presented to an LMS 8.* installation -
> the non compliant plugins could be placed in a repository list separate
> from "3rd Party Plugins" such as - "3rd party plugins - at your peril"
Likewise mherger's caution:
> With a big red warning, well hidden at the
> bottom of the plugins page...

I am sure there are many concerns with this proposal, not the least that
it would risk exposing maintainers to support requests they have no time
for. 
Still, it would be interesting to hear what your thoughts are on this.

Have you checked that either /etc/init.d/squeezeboxserver or

If any of them exist (e.g. /etc(init.d/squeezeboxserver) try to start

It seems that the system update you performed on the Tumbleweed version
of OpenSUSE broke the backward compatibility with legacy applications
using SysV. I think you will get better advice on the OpenSUSE forums
for Tumbleweed. 
Sorry, I run OpenSUSE Lead 15.2 on some machines, but not Tumbleweed. On
these versions the legacy /etc/init.d/ is executed if no
.service unit file exists.

I will test the update, but before I read your reply I loaded what
seemed a suitable extension: pcp-libalac.tcz. Direct streaming from
Tidal works with squeezelite-custom set if I have the 'pcp-libalac.tcz'
installed (happily listening to Christy Moore 'Live At Vicar St (2002)'
on Tidal right now).

I'll download the update as well, but to my other pCP (without
pcp-libalac.tcz extension). I'll be back ... :-)

Thanks Ralphy, the updated binary you provided works perfectly on my

This sounds very similar to the issue I had in another thread here:

If so, you should be able to listen to Tidal again by enabling Proxied
streaming in LMS settings:
LMS default webpage -> Settings -> Player -> pick player from dropdown
list -> pick "audio" from dropdown list
Close to the bottom of this page there is a setting for 'Streaming
Method'. Just pick Proxied Streaming.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Direct streaming of Tidal to squeezelite on pCP fails - proxied streaming works

2020-11-02 Thread BosseJ


I'm not sure if this is should be discussed under a pCP thread or under
LMS. Anyway, If the pCP squeezelite was supposed to handle direct
streaming to Tidal, it doesn't ...

Please note that this "issue" is easily fixed by setting "Proxied
streaming" for the player in LMS! I'm just curious since squeezelite
reports HTTPS=1 to LMS, but it still hangs with "Connecting" and is not
stoppable from LMS when trying to play a Tidal track. I assume that
https is relevant somehow in this case, given the changes in both Tidal
and LMS. When this happens, if the page in the LMS Default skin is
reloaded, the player disappears from the list of attached players. (But
the pCP admin page is still working.) After that only a reboot of the
pCP will restore the LMS connection and control.

I usually only stream Tidal to my main system Touch and both of my
Touch'es have proxied streaming set (which has always worked
brilliantly), so I am unsure if Tidal direct streaming has ever worked.


This time I tried to stream Tidal to one of my pCP players on the
secondary system (I had the pCP players set to Direct streaming), but
that failed as described above. The current LMS 8 (1604223200 @ Sun Nov
1) has this behaviour, but also the version before - mentioned because
it may be an issue with how stream parameters are transferred? I use my
secondary system (LMS on Linux MX 19.2) to check new versions of LMS,
before I update my main system. (Although there's never been a
showstopper problem on any LMS update that I'm aware of. Incredibly
stable given the amount of changes that is being released this last
year.)

I updated my main system to the same version and could verify that
behaviour (ie, no direct streaming to Tidal on a pCP squeezelite) is
identical on this system.

Again, please note that this is not a real issue since proxied streaming
works perfectly. At the most, perhaps a note in the pCP documentation?

If MusicBee rewrites the paths to the tracks in playlists maybe LMS gets
confused and decides that the tracks referenced in the playlists are new
tracks not scanned before. In your earlier post where you showed the
scan result, the log said that tracks were discovered on drive Z: but in
the playlist track example you showed the path was directly to the NAS,
no "Z:" drive involved.
