Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Unable to load ANY plugins!
Hmm - another reboot of the router and all seems to be in order again. Strange - before the reboot it seemed like I had full internet access (e.g. posting to this forum), but in fact a traceroute (from my wireless laptop) to downloads.nixda.ch didn't work, whereas traceroute to bbc.co.uk did work. After the reboot I can now traceroute to downloads.nixda.ch, and I can once again load plugins and play Spotify tracks via Spotty.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Unable to load ANY plugins!
This has me stumped! Fresh install of pCP8 (64 bit) on a 4GB Raspberry Pi4. Booting from a 32GB USB drive, with a (big) third partition created by pCP to hold the cache and prefs folders. I'm unable to load ANY plugins. When I select, for instance, Spotty from the 3rd party plugins list, then click apply, there is a wait of a few seconds (presumably while the plugin downloads) then a prompt to restart LMS. After the restart, Spotty isn't installed, but now appears at the top under 'Updated plugins available'. If I select it, then Apply, then restart, it just stays there in the 'Updated plugins available' list. If I restart LMS from the pCP interface, Spotty is now back in the 3rd party plugins list (and not installed). If I monitor the cache folder during this process, at no point can I see any sign of Spotty in DownloadedPlugins, InstalledPlugins, tmp etc. Where should I expect to find the files are downloaded to before the restart installs them? I seem to recall an earlier discussion about delaying the restart long enough for the files to actually download, so I've tried that too - still no sign of anything being downloaded. For info I'm on a fast fibre broadband connection, with the RPi wired to the router. And I know the cache folder is setup with the right permissions etc (all defaults, as created by pCP), because the music scan completed without error, creating big library.db and artwork.db files. Everything was working perfectly until yesterday, when I think a router restart while playing a list of Spotify tracks may have somehow corrupted the LMS cache (? clutching at straws here for an explanation!), meaning that I could no longer play Spotify tracks. I started by simply restoring the slimserver folder from a recent backup, but then I noticed that Spotty started to give me the 'failed to get token' warning (don't recall the exact wording). So for troubleshooting I decided to try a completely fresh pCP install, expecting it to be a simple case of reinstalling all my plugins, or even copying the cache over once I've figured out what's going on with Spotty. But now I'm in this novel position where no plugins at all will install. I've been using LMS and pCP for years, and am quite familiar with the process, but maybe the flawless operation of my main server in recent times has made me a bit rusty. What am I doing wrong?! Why can't I install plugins? chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115397 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] All synced players stop when one player drops out
Thanks both - I guess you are right that it's the sync algorithm causing this behaviour. In fact I do get occasional short bursts of playback while the microwave is running, indicating that there is a small amount of bandwidth available despite the interference. Oh well, I guess I should look into running a cable to the Boom after all. I did have some powerline adaptors and they worked well, but I found the combination of the Boom power supply plugged into a powerline adaptor plugged into the wall socket just too bulky. I wonder if there's such a thing as a powerline adaptor built into a wall socket... chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114190 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] All synced players stop when one player drops out
I normally have several players synced and powered up: usually a minimum of a wired Boom, a wireless Boom and a wired piCorePlayer. The server is also wired. The wireless Boom is in the kitchen, and if I run the microwave it interferes with wifi reception so LMS can't reach that Boom. After about 30 seconds playback stops on all the synced players and when the microwave stops they all fire up again. It struck me that I don't really understand why all the other players stop, and ideally I'd like that behaviour to change :) There are other times when a player that disappears seems to block playback to its synced partners: a bluetooth player defined in pCP will do the same (or it used to - I don't know if that has changed) if the bluetooth speaker gets physically turned off, a USB DAC will do the same if the DAC itself is powered off (although configuring Squeezelite to stop and start in sync with the DAC fixes this case). So why is it necessary for all playback to stop when a synced player drops out, and can something be changed so that the other players continue without interruption? I would expect there to be a momentary interruption when the dropped player reappears, due to the usual syncing process, but that would be preferable to having the whole house go quiet when I use the microwave! I know I could look into making that Boom wired instead of wireless, but that's easier said than done in the kitchen, and that's not the point. The point is, what logic cases the other players to stop? They don't do it when a player is soft-powered-off in mid playback, and it would be nice if they didn't do it when the mechanism for sending audio to a dropped player senses a problem. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114190 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

There could be several reasons for this, but, if you've retyped gordonb3's suggested 'wget' command rather than copying and pasting, then a typo could have prevented the file from downloading, or maybe download it with a different name.

Inspired by the 'iBroadcast' (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?104601-iBroadcast-plugin-unlimited-free-storage-and-streaming-of-uploaded-tunes) thread, I started to wonder whether I could use my own web space to store my music files and make them accessible to LMS when I'm away from home. -"Surely,"- I thought, -"I'd only need to install some kind of file server in my web space."- -"There are plenty of one-click packages provided by my web hosting service - maybe there's one that's dedicated to serving up audio files"- As the cogs slowly turned in my head I realised that -"some kind of 'media server' would be ideal."-. And that of course, is why I'm asking this question :). I'm imagining a 'MyOwnSqueezebox.com' :) I pay for some webspace, which I think is nominally unlimited space-wise, and they don't mind what I do with it, so running a media server from it would be entirely within their rules. My library isn't big - maybe 200GB - but if that did prove to be too much I could upload my 'compressed' mirror (all FLACs converted to OGGs), which I think is around 50GB. (Neither of these will be practical to upload until OpenReach decide that it's once again safe to enter my home to install the fibre broadband that I ordered IN OCTOBER for heavens' sake) So, what would be involved in installing LMS in my own web space? Is it even possible? How could I find out which binaries would work in my web space? Is it safe to do - i.e., is the LMS password protection strong enough to prevent abuse by uninvited guests? If not, what else can I do at server level to secure it How would my Squeezebox players find it? Could I set up Spotty to work in such a scenario? What else haven't I thought about? My experience with using my web space is limited to those one-click installs, such as Wordpress, Zen Photo etc. So any manual installation and configuration is likely to be a challenge, but I'm interested in seeing if this would work. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113772 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

I have most of my music stored the same way as the OP (each folder contains one big FLAC, a separate CUE and a JPG). I exclusively use the 'Artists' or 'Albums' option to drill down into my music, and selecting single tracks works perfectly. But as a test, to replicate the OPs problem, I used the 'Music Folder' option to drill down and select a single track, and indeed the entire FLAC file gets added to the playlist. @chopinhauer - make sure LMS has scanned your music folder, then try using the 'Artists' option underneath the main 'My Music' item in the left pane. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111709 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Would an approach similar to the 'Drag and Drop Music Files' plugin work in this case? I believe that plugin transfers files to .../cache/audioUploads, and the plugin allows the user to specify a file size limit, which defaults to 100Mb.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Logitech media server not working without internet connection
In my camper van I regularly use a pCP server that makes it's own wifi AP, and the device has no possible means of connecting to the internet (something I've considered trying to fix with a GSM dongle, but not really sure how to go about it!).

Forgive me, I don't know the first thing about Perl, but given that a
'compiler' error is apparently being triggered at 'run time', I'm
guessing that it's compiled on demand ('interpreted'?). In that case,
would that suggest that this $ipn error is going to be triggered any
time that red line is reached (i.e. when operating in an ipv6
environment), because it's a second declaration within the same scope?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Perl compilation error: $ipn
Thanks for looking into this bpa. I don't believe anything else has changed. Yesterday I did add another command to the start-up user commands 'tweaks' - a script that I wrote to control a fan via a GPIO pin - but the compilation error didn't seem to be improved by removal of that script. The pCP is currently connected wirelessly, to a mesh system that I added a few weeks back - apart from some initial teething troubles (as with ANY new piece of network equipment in my experience!) it's worked flawlessly.

You could experiment with the overscan settings. From the config.txt file: Code: # uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console # goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border #overscan_left=16 #overscan_right=16 #overscan_top=16 #overscan_bottom=16 Given that your screen is 8cm tall but you're only using 6cm of it (1cm black band top and bottom), and that 6cm corresponds to 600 pixels, it seem like a value around -100 for overscan_top and overscan_bottom might get you close. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110888 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

You may need to edit the config.txt file on the boot partition of your SD card, so that greater resolutions are supported. You can either do this by inserting the SD card into your laptop - the boot partition should be accessible - or by accessing pCP over SSH, and typing 'm1' at the command line to mount the first partition on the card. Then look for the following section of config.txt and edit the framebuffer width and height to suit your monitor's resolution: Code: # uncomment to force a console size.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Spaces in Player names?
Thanks Paul Good grief - I wouldn't have the first idea how to code this little workaround. As you say, the consequences on different types of player might be different, and this restriction was obviously put there for a reason. I would guess that the 'setd' doesn't only handle player name changes, so it would be wise to restrict the change such that it only affects 'squeezelite' players, and only refers to name changes. I could see it taking me a week or more just to get to grips with the perl syntax and scratch the surface of the LMS structure. I think I'll just leave it, and live with the fact that squeezelite on the Joggler is behaving as programmed. On the other hand, whilst I can understand that it might be best to limit this type of communication while a player is playing, I wonder if it's really necessary for it to be explicitly 'stopped'. It seems like it might be just as safe to send this 'setd' while the player is paused, which is a much more common condition for a software player without a stop button.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Spaces in Player names?
After a quick test it looks as though you've solved the mystery Paul. Name changes get saved back to the specified file when the player is stopped. It's not enough to pause the player, or to (soft) power it off while playing or paused - it has to be explicitly stopped. Name changes also seem to get saved while the player is (soft) off, provided it was stopped first. I can't believe that I didn't spot this pattern in all my testing, but in my defence the browser interface doesn't have 'stop' function that I can see, and it's not obvious in the Jivelite interface - it takes a long press on the pause button to stop the player. I wonder if this 'stopped' condition really needs to be present. Paul - could you point me to the relevant bit of the source code and I might have a go at lifting that restriction to see what the consequences are. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110157 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

With Jivelite running on the Joggler I can see the player name at the top of the screen, and this changes almost immediately when I change the name in LMS.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] A "how do I...."/feature request - hide players from LMS
Is there a way to exclude players from the list of available players in LMS? I have a couple of Jogglers which I use as touchscreen controllers for LMS. I run them using 'Squeezeplay OS' from 'birdslikewires' (https://birdslikewires.net/squeezeplay). A side effect of this OS is that each Joggler shows up as a player, and since I don't use them as players I'd like to remove them from the list. Does anyone know how to kill the player part of Squeezeplay OS? Obviously I can name them so that it's obvious they're not proper players, but they still clutter up the list. The best I've found is to give them a blank name, and although they still show up in the list, the row height is much shorter, so they 'almost' don't show. But it would be nice if there was a feature, such as using a full stop as the first character of the name, to 'hide' such players from LMS. Obviously, the list of players in the 'Settings' > 'Player' tab would have to ignore such a rule, otherwise you'd never be able to access the player settings. Am I missing something - is there already an easy way to hide players like this? chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110032 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

I had a similar situation with the USB DAC in a Hypex DLCP. The list of available output devices offered when this DAC is connected to a Pi 3B+ running piCorePlayer 4.1.0 is: null sysdefault:CARD=DAC front:CARD=DAC,DEV=0 surround21:CARD=DAC,DEV=0 surround40:CARD=DAC,DEV=0 surround41:CARD=DAC,DEV=0 surround50:CARD=DAC,DEV=0 surround51:CARD=DAC,DEV=0 surround71:CARD=DAC,DEV=0 iec958:CARD=DAC,DEV=0 I first tried the top option 'sysdefault:CARD=DAC', and that seemed to work and play music properly. But whenever the DAC was disconnected (e.g. when using the DLCP USB input for programming the DLCP), it required a reboot of the Pi for Squeezelite to find the DAC again. The solution for me was to use the next option in the list, 'front:CARD=DAC,DEV=0'. This is totally robust, in that I can disconnect the DAC (even by moving the cable to a different USB port on the Pi), and almost immediately the music just magically starts playing again - I don't even need to restart Squeezelite. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109934 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Looking for information about Presets
I've had a quick look at how I might use that 'jivefavorites' command to set a preset, and have fallen at the first hurdle - if my aim is put it into a script that is called by a button press, then I can't see how I would point that script to port 9090. But I'll figure that out - that's not why I'm back. I'm back to ask if there is a URL for a (conventional) 'favorite' - something like 'file:favorites_1.m3u' for instance. I'd be happy if I could permanently assign preset #1 to the first item in my favorites list for example. I appreciate that favorites are more 'dynamic', in that the list order can change, but there is at least an interface in LMS to allow me to edit/reorder/manage these system-wide favorites. So knowing that my hardware buttons (e.g. 1 to 4) actually link to the corresponding top four favorites would work well I think. I had a quick look at how favorites are handled (favorites.opml) so I suspect this is a dead-end unless there's some kind of routine that would translate a URL to point to something in that OMPL file perhaps.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Looking for information about Presets
The preset_5.hold button is an IR command I believe, so I tried it on a Boom using the remote control. Pressing and holding the number 5 key on the remote brings up the message "Preset #5 (hold to save)", but no matter how long I hold it, the current track doesn't get inserted as a preset. If I hold it long enough that message times out and the key is evidently ignored. If I release the key before that timeout, then the existing preset #5 starts to play. So I think there's more to using the remote button mappings - perhaps the physical preset buttons on the Boom do something more than their apparent counterparts in the remote commands. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109080 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Looking for information about Presets
Hmm - preset_5.hold doesn't seem to do anything.

Thanks both - that 'preset_5.hold' option looks promising, if it that's what is called when function button 5 is held.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Looking for information about Presets
Thanks - so is that the 'jivefavorite' command that Michael mentioned? So I'm assuming that Jive knows which function key was pressed to call that command, but it's not clear to me how the preset information ends up in the right line of the presets section in server.prefs. If that's all handled by other code surrounding that call to jivefavorite, perhaps it would be simpler for me to try to simulate a function button press when one of my hardware buttons is pressed. Is that feasible do you think? Is there a CLI command or IR command to simulate a function button press? If not, perhaps I could script a function button press somehow - I'm a complete beginner with LMS CLI, and scripting in general in fact, so any pointers to get me going would be appreciated. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109080 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

When I do a long press on button 4 on the Boom, the preset gets inserted into the 4th row of the list of presets. How does the 'jivefavorite add' command know which row to place the new preset in?

I think this was a typo - I found a presets section for each player in /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/slimserver/prefs/server.prefs I took a copy, then stopped LMS and edited server.prefs to copy a preset from one of my Booms to the pCP squeezelite player, did a backup and restarted LMS and it worked like a charm - I now have a preset that starts on the long press of one of my hardware buttons. The preset I copied is a radio station. - URL: http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s45545=aac,ogg,mp3 text: 106.6 | Smooth East Midlands (Easy Listening) type: audio So in addition to the 'title:', 'url:', 'icon:' and 'type:' fields in your CLI syntax there also seems to be a 'text:' field. I'm guessing that for a headless system the only ones that are needed are the url: and probably the type: I'll have a play.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Looking for information about Presets
Thanks Michael, I'll have a play with both of those. I don't think the CLI method will fit conveniently into a standard sbpd command, but since sbpd allows for calling a separate script I think that could work. My scripting skills are non-existent at the moment, so figuring out how to get the URL and icon from LMS and constructing the corresponding command line could be a challenge. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109080 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Looking for information about Presets
I'm running pCP 3.5.0 on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. I also have some push buttons that are configured using the SqueezeButtonPi daemon. It all works very well. I'd now like to investigate whether Presets can be used with this setup. I can configure a button to play a given preset (e.g. PRE1=["button","preset_1.single"]), but since I don't have any presets configured for this player, I get an error message on the attached Joggler screen that says "Preset #1 not defined." I posted a similar question in the Sbpd thread, but having now experimented for quite a while with various command strings (with no success) I think it's more appropriate to ask in the LMS forum. What I'd like to know is how to configure presets on Squeezelite. I appreciate that presets are supposed to be associated with preset buttons, e.g. on a Boom, but now that there's an easy way to add hardware buttons to a pCP setup it seems like the preset concept could apply. On my Boom, I navigate to an an item, such as a track, then do a long press on one of the preset buttons, and that stores the preset. I think that preset is specific to that Boom, and isn't available to other players. So what command does the Boom trigger when I do a long press on a preset button? I saw some commands in the IR default mapping file, but since the procedure on the Boom uses a hardware button rather than an IR command, I don't think anything in that IR mapping file is what I'm looking for - certainly nothing that I tried seems to work. So to configure a preset on Squeezelite, is there perhaps: 1) a file on the server that I can edit? Where would that be in a pCP setup? 2) a way to use the attached Joggler to achieve this? 3) a CLI command to achieve this, which could be programmed onto an Sbpd button? chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109080 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Relative paths in playlists

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Relative paths in playlists
Sure, but would that work on a Mac or Windows server? On my Mac mini, the paths all start with ///Volumes/Audio.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Relative paths in playlists
I've recently switched LMS from my old Mac mini to a Raspberry Pi 3B+. None of my playlists work, because the paths are different between the Mac and the Rpi. I'm quite happy working my way through the playlist files to do a global find and replace. But I'm wondering if I can future-proof this a little bit by making the paths relative rather than absolute. If I have a disk mounted as /mnt/Audio, and on that disk I have a folder called 'Music' and a folder called 'Playlists', then can any playlists in the Playlists folder refer to music files in the Music folder as file:../Music ? I can't seem to make this work, but referring to file:///mnt/Audio/Music works fine. What do those three slashes in front of 'mnt' do, and how many of them should I have before '../Music'? Supplementary question - if it IS possible to get LMS to *understand* relative paths somehow, is it also possible to make LMS *write* relative paths when it creates or modifies playlists? If not, there wouldn't really be much point in moving my old playlists to relative paths because new playlists would always be absolute, and I'd get in a right mess. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109044 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Synchronised players - how to power one of them off/on separately
Thank you Philippe, I will. Forgive me if this has already been explained, but can a group player be synchronised with another player? It would be nice if I could have the SB2 playing, then turn on the Booms to have them play what's already on the SB2, so I think perhaps a group player for the Booms, and the SB2 as a stand alone player, with 'Booms' and SB2 synced but set to power independently.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Synchronised players - how to power one of them off/on separately
I have three players that I like to have playing in sync with each other when they're powered up, but I don't always want them all to be powered up at once. They are a couple of Booms and an SB2. Whenever one Boom is on I'd like the other Boom to be on, but I'd like to be able to turn on the SB2 without the Booms coming on. The 'Synchronize Power' option seems like it *ought* to be able to do this. I've set up a sync group for the three players, I've set both Booms to 'Power off/on with group' and the SB2 to 'Power off/on separately'. But it doesn't work as I expected. - When I power up the SB2, all three players come on. - When I power off the SB2, all three players go off. To me this seems like the 'Power off/on separately' option I set for this player is doing nothing of the sort. - When I turn either of the Booms on or off, the other Boom follows suit, without the SB2 being affected. That's the only bit of this behaviour that seems right to me. I guess the correct way to interpret the 'Power off/on separately' option is that it means 'Don't power off/on when the other group players are powered off/on', but what I'd like in this case is an option that mean's 'Power off/on without affecting other players in the group'. Am I missing a trick here - is there a way to make these players do what I want? chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108596 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
