I remember seeing a python utility and browsing the 1/3-party software
sub forum I discovered one written in Go. I can’t tell you more I’m
afraid.

These utilities would all use the server’s CLI on port 9090 I assume. So
the server could be installed as a container or on a host just as well.
However, unless you’re comfortable working with containers I don’t see
the advantage compared to using an inexpensive and dedicated platform
like a Pi.

I use squeezy, a Perl front end for the LMS CLI. It works fine for me
and it has a concept of player groups, or classes if you prefer, so you
can address a group of players in one go, e.g. squeezy —group 1 —power ?
(approximate syntax)
I use this to reset players groups in the server every morning. The
squeezy groups definitions serve as baseline and the LMS groups are
players found alive among the squeezy groups.

I have rolled the squeezy calls into a truly abominable bash (what was I
thinking!) script which gets called via cron. For some rare calls I use
netcat to communicate with the CLI, if I wasn’t lazy I would have had
extended squeezy itself and add some macros.

There are other utilities similar to squeezy.

Michael not only clarified but he 'fixed the problem'

Now your preference in the Random Mix page overrides the virtual library
the player might be in.
Yay no more empty random playlists!
Much appreciated, thanks.

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.

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.

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.

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

2021-02-05 Thread epoch1970

I have a question related to player library views and random mix
preferences.

My library is organised in multiple top folders, e.g. /music/alice,
/music/bob
I am using library views, created by saving advanced searches on each
library directories, e.g. 'Songs for Alice', 'Songs for Bob'

I use cron jobs that set players to get songs from either the default
(real) library or one of the library views, clears the current playlist,
then loads 'playlist add randomplay://tracks'. This is done
programmatically, mostly with squeezy.

The problem arises when a player is set, e.g. to pick from library view
'Bob', and at some time someone set, via the web interface, random mix
selections to operate on library view 'Alice'. In this case, 'playlist
add randomplay://tracks' returns empty.

'playlist add randomplay://tracks' will only return correct and
non-empty if random songs are set to be picked from the real library, or
from the same virtual library as the one the player is set to use.
I'm seeing this on a slightly seasoned LMS 7.9 arm build, but also on
Logitech Media Server Version: 8.1.1 - 1610364019 @ Thu Jan 14 06:23:13
CET 2021 (i686)

Questions:

- I'm unclear if the random mix preference is system-wide, tied to a
  player or tied to the web client used to set the pref. Can someone
  clarify?
- Is there a way for my players to get correct random playlist results
  regardless of that preference? In other words, is using 'playlist add
  randomplay://tracks' a bad idea? Or is there a CLI command that my
  cron job could fire to ensure random songs will be picked from the
  default database, at least for the initial elements of the random
  playlist?
  

Thanks in advance!

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Announcement thread LMS 8.0 - what are the differences?

2020-03-19 Thread epoch1970

Hello Michael, all, long time no see.

I'm glad to discover projects like LMS 8 or that dizzying squeezeAMP
thing. And also I broke out picoreplayer 6.0 yesterday, looks great and
works great as always.

I was wondering if any thoughts would go towards making LMS more
"container-native"?


It is possible to spawn an entire system in one go: server, players
(squeezelite), and dedicated network (All RPis in my case). I have a
feeling it might be useful, although pCP and -I suppose- squeezeAMP
simplify deployment greatly in their own way.

In general, running LMS as a component feels a little contrary. The
squeezeboxserver_safe thing is redundant with external means of ensuring
health checking and restart, preferences are buried deep in the fs,
logging to stdout would be more natural etc.
Perhaps LMS could be componentized a bit so that it could support, e.g.
a clustered front-end. I don't know if that make sense; only thing I
know is that running without the web frontend makes the server use less
RAM.
I played only with radio streams, so did not went on to explore the
distributed audio files situation; I feel it's feasible but I know
something would happen to the DB if, say, half of the files go away at
runtime or between runs.

Image building is not optimal. With limited time to dedicate to the
container, I ended up with a rather fat debian+LMS package image, and an
"entrypoint" that summons "squeezeboxserver" directly.
I visited the Alpine alley in hope of a quick weight gain and found no
usable (or recent?) package. I then had the idea of creating a makefile
set for buildroot but I backed off in a hurry (sorry for that.)

Again, glad to see the community in great shape.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Req: report all listening interfaces on LMS settings>info page

2018-12-20 Thread epoch1970

Dear all, Michael: would it be possible to report all IP addresses an
LMS listens on instead of only one in settings>information page?
I am playing with an LMS container with weave net, works a treat
regarding broadcasts but the container has 2 interfaces, e.g.

Code:

root@lms:/# ifconfig
  eth0: flags=4163  mtu 1500
  inet 192.168.5.2  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.5.255
  ether 02:42:c0:a8:05:02  txqueuelen 0  (Ethernet)
  RX packets 762  bytes 148470 (148.4 KB)
  RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
  TX packets 374  bytes 1673888 (1.6 MB)
  TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
  
  ethwe: flags=4163  mtu 65535
  inet 10.32.0.1  netmask 255.240.0.0  broadcast 10.47.255.255
  ether 22:9f:45:8a:ba:52  txqueuelen 0  (Ethernet)
  RX packets 190  bytes 14886 (14.8 KB)
  RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
  TX packets 242  bytes 15778 (15.7 KB)
  TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
  ...


The first one belongs to docker networking and is used to access the web
interface from the LAN.
The second one belongs to weave net, it is the one that squeezelite
should use.

Of course I can fix that myself in the squeezelite container(s) so it is
no problem. But I thought it might be useful to report all listening
interfaces.
Thanks!

So in some configuration rotation you only have the problem of the Pi
not being able to use the internet, otherwise all is fine.
In this case I suggest you add 
Code:

interface wlan0
  metric 100


to /etc/dhcpcd.conf

That will give wireless priority over ethernet, when in Rasbian (in
dhcpcd) the default is to the contrary. The Pi will use the wireless
default gateway instead of the dud on the LAN.

PS: I wouldn't mess with LMS options all that much. Look 'here'
(https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/blob/public/7.9/slimserver.pl#L743)
for the complete list, and see how squeezelite couldn't care less about
--httpadd.
In general with systemd machines, do not bind services to addresses or
interfaces, execution order is not guaranteed, binding can cause random
failures.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Investigating LMS 7.9.1 crash on restart

2018-10-08 Thread epoch1970

BTW, I am running a custom watchdog script to test the condition of a
few processes. The LMS is very robust and its status is a bit tricky to
assess (multiple processes, can take all the CPU during rescan) so my
check is lax and infrequent on LMS.

Now I am thinking I should filter syslog entries "Logitech Media Server
died. Restarting." and raise a definitive alarm when that line appears
too often.

I can edit syslog.conf to filter/redirect to a custom logfile, check the
freshness that logfile with watchdog and be done with it.
Is there a more standard (yet lightweight) way of doing this on linux?

Hmm. The base is Raspbian, I think it checks rootfs on startup, but how
thorough the check is, I wouldn't know. There is a lot of free space on
the SD and logging is severely trimmed down.

Freak accident then; I saved time by not using a more specialized OS, I
guess one year on I might have to start paying on that decision...
I'll prepare a clone SD just in case.

Thanks, Michael.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Investigating LMS 7.9.1 crash on restart

2018-10-07 Thread epoch1970

Hi all,

I run a very stable machine (Pi3/raspbian, about 1 year old) with
logitechmediaserver 7.9.1~1491339164 on it
The machine has a cron entry that restarts LMS weekly at 4:00 on
Sundays. The gist of it is:
Code:


  /usr/sbin/service "$SERVICE" stop
  sleep 5
  /usr/sbin/service "$SERVICE" start



Today I received a mail telling me LMS had failed. I looked in server
log and LMS was caught in a restart loop. The problem happened at 4:00.

Code:

2018-10-07 04:00:02 squeezeboxserver_safe stopped.
  2018-10-07 04:00:08 squeezeboxserver_safe started.
  2018-10-07 04:00:15 Logitech Media Server died. Restarting.
  2018-10-07 04:00:20 Logitech Media Server died. Restarting.
  ...



I ran /usr/sbin/squeezeboxserver --help and got this:
Code:

Number found where operator expected at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Schema.pm 
line 2890, near "} 5"
(Missing operator before  5?)
  Bareword found where operator expected at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Schema.pm 
line 2892, near "$)sDebug"
(Missing operator before sDebug?)
  Unrecognized character \xF4; marked by <-- HERE after 
$at<-- HERE near column 8 at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Schema.pm line 2893.
  Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Player/Song.pm line 18.
  ...


Which corresponds to:
Code:

tail -2885 /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Schema.pm | more
  
  sub hasLibrary {
return $initialized;
  }
  
  sub _connect {
my ( $class, $dsn, $sql ) = @_;

$sql ||= [];

my ($driver, $source, $username, $password) = $class->sourceInformation;
  ...



I reinstalled logitechmediaserver_7.9.1~1492077569_arm.deb, so not the
same version but one I had lying around in the machine.
This "solved" the problem as the server restarted ok this time.
The uptime of the machine was 78 days, dmesg or syslog didn't show
anything extraordinary. Load was a bit higher than normal due to LMS
restarting incessantly, but still very manageable for the system. LMS
doesn't work on Sundays on that machine :)

I guess something happened on the way to saving the DB when LMS stopped,
and then it failed to restart?
In any case I would like to know how to make my crontab restart script
less naive and avoid this problem in the future. Any idea what might
have happened and how to make restart more sturdy?

This requirement for host authentication and for encryption of music
streams within a LAN is laughable. 
Anyways,
The OP could shove the whole thing in a VLAN and more or less be done
with it.
And/or could use a VPN to tunnel the connexion. OpenVPN works fine on
pCP as far as I know.

I believe this is inaccurate.
I think what happens is the second alarm triggers while the 1st is still
running. When this happens, the 2nd alarm has the effect of stopping the
running one.

So the -quite- inelegant but, I think, effective solution is to pile up
3 alarms:
1- Silent at t-3
2- False start at t-1
3- Real alarm at t0
(perhaps t-2, t0 and t0 would also work, I'm not sure)

I have no doubt the alarm function is very complicated, as bpa
mentions.

Recently I needed an alarm launched from cron and not from LMS, I used
the squeezy perl CLI in a shell script. The script was a bit complicated
but I managed to regroup players and make them fade-in over 5 minutes by
directly stepping the volume controls, all via the LMS CLI. A plugin
would have been better, of course.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Role based authentication, possible?

2018-03-04 Thread epoch1970

Is it possible to imagine an extension or plugin to LMS that would
include the notion of roles (owner/manager-DJ/audience) and use that to
limit actions on the "server" (eg setting prefs) and on "players" (eg
clear playlist)?

Basically I think this is an extension of iPeng's "party mode".

Assuming it makes sense, how big a job would that be?

I think you mentioned something about a wireless bandwidth of 300mbps?

I would suggest to set the 2.4GHz band to wifi-g only (54mbps, 20MHz
channel width).
The SBs won't see the 5GHz band so you can set this one to wifi-n or
wifi-ac with channel bonding and all that.

That looks like a networking problem.
Check you don't have a firewall running on the LMS machine
Check the IP addresses on the player and on the LMS machine
Reboot the player (doesn't hurt and can help.)

Is it a hardware player or a software player?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS@Raspbian - wake up external USB HD attached to router

2018-02-02 Thread epoch1970

I'm not sure disabling spindown is much of an option on recent drives.

In general there are 2 possible strategies:
a) enforce system state: don't let the drive slide into sleep,
b) go stateless: try to reconnect every time you need the drive.

As already said by drmatt, first place to look for solutions are
mount/system options on the Pi and on the router.
If nothing helps, some add-on or changes to the client can be made:
- run (on the server or the client) a script that regularly runs
"touch" on a dummy file, accesses a web page on that drive, etc. Beware
of caches which will try to avoid drive spinup. And perhaps finally link
this keep-alive script to LMS usage via SrvPowerControl plugin.
- switch the client to automounting with a short dismount timeout (less
than the HDD timeout). A mount is expected by the O.S. to take some
time, so it is more of a blocking call. Upon accessing the library,
rather than being swiftly returned  by the O.S., LMS would be
blocked until the OS has something to return.

For a robust system I would recommend the stateless way. With a stateful
system if the drive (or router, or link between hosts) goes away your
client will hang until it is back; useful for a thin-client workstation
but not much else. (Not mentioning the case where the client doesn't
hang, but crashes...)

Have fun, maybe.

Don't do that.

To access LMS across the Internet, the solution is to setup a VPN. There
are scripts on the Internet that attacks LMS, a password-protected
instance wouldn't last long.
With a VPN you don't need password protection.

The boom has auto MDIX according to that page, so a straight cable

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Can LMS listen on multiple interfaces

2017-10-22 Thread epoch1970

pCP does VLANs but only after boot. You'll get multiple interfaces.
There is no VLAN "bootcode" and I am pretty sure pCP would be upset if
you'd nuke the native interface.
If you want to completely remove a pCP machine from the native network
and make it live only within the VLAN, I think the only way to do this
is by configuring a switch. Some switches do "dynamic VLAN" (MAC address
-> VLAN association, akin to DHCP MAC-based reservations), that would be
pretty handy in this scenario.

If you "create VLANs" I'm not sure this will fix DLNA's affairs. I guess
you want a single VLAN so that client-to-client communication works as
well as client-to-server.

Actually, I've run the whatismyip.org scanner against a router of mine,

http://nmap.online-domain-tools.com this one is listed in the nmap.org

Sorry I tried but I don't see what's up with your openvpn setup.
But here is a generic tip: run a 'port scan'
(http://www.whatsmyip.org/port-scanner/server/) against your router and
you'll see if anything is exposed to the Internet. (This one from
whatismyip.org assumes you run the test from behind your router. Others
usually allow scanning any IP address.)

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] FadeInSecs inconsistent with URL randomplay://tracks?

2017-09-18 Thread epoch1970

Hi there.
I need to setup a cron task that starts a player on random tracks, with
fade-in (yes, I know alarm does that.)
I'm using squeezy or the telnet CLI
I generate the random playlist with " playlist add
randomplay://tracks",
then I expected the player would start smoothly with something like
" playlist index 0 100".

However this is rarely the case. Many times the player will start at
normal volume without fade-in. Squeezy seems to report a timeout in the
JSON client.

I examined track duration, file format and system load, however I don't
see why fadeInSecs is sometimes taken into account, and often not.
The server is a Pi with an USB HDD, it isn't fast and one core is loaded
at 100% for a little while when the URL is converted into a list of
tracks.
I didn't find a way to generate the actual playlist without starting to
play it right away (ie without using "index 0").

I would rather not step player volume over a period of time in the
script, but now I am tempted to try that...

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Random short disconnects from Squeezebox 3

2017-09-07 Thread epoch1970

I would consider all the hardware on the path between the SB3 and the
server.
E.g. Ethernet switches that are manageable and less than ~ 5 years old
have power saving features that could deactivate a port. 

If you look at the information tab in LMS settings, you will see if the
SB3 is using ether or wifi: when on wifi "signal strength" is reported.

If the SB3 is set to acquire an address via DHCP, and the address is no
fixed in the router, perhaps releasing the lease and reacquiring and
address is not instant. I don't recommend using a static IP on the SB3
but you could test with it.
(If it uses a static IP make sure it is outside of the DHCP addresses
pool)

Good luck.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Sync Group - force leader ?

2017-08-27 Thread epoch1970

Squeezy, a CLI 1/3 party control utility can sort that out I think.
Specifically it has a notion of "group" that can be used to send
commands to all players in that group in one go.
A group has nothing to do with sync, it reflects preferences in a config
file.

I've been using a script that invokes squeezy to load the same playlist
to a group, then syncs players within the group, and starts them.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS option --playeraddr?

2017-08-04 Thread epoch1970

Thanks for this analysis!
For me the simplest workaround is to just omit the option, and filter
whatever would come out of eth0.
My squeezelite config is already far from the default one...

I found these options in a wiki page:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Running_multiple_servers, perhaps
this is worth a mention?

I have players that send packets to 255.255.255.255 3483/udp.
If I set --playeraddress, IIRC the server doesn't send packets at all,
and the GUI says "no players found" forever.
If I omit --playeraddr the server does send to 225.255.255.255 3483/udp,
only linux routes that via eth0, that is the wrong vlan for me. 
The added route for 255.255.255.255/32 via the bridge makes the whole
thing work.

I will check the log on squeezelite.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] What OS do you recommend for the LMS

2017-08-02 Thread epoch1970

Another vote for debian: it is ported to a lot of platforms. So
basically you can take your setup and config files on an Intel VM and
re-deploy that on an ARM machine, or the other way around.
This being said I'm not the greatest fan of systemd.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS option --playeraddr?

2017-08-01 Thread epoch1970

I want to isolate an LMS server on a VLAN, the machine I use has eth0
hooked to the LAN via DHCP and it routes/filters a second interface
which is an L3 bridge that includes the VLAN.
This is my routing table and noteworthy interfaces:

the server never finds my players.

 it works, but LMS sends 3483/udp through eth0, leaking outside the
VLAN. I had to direct broadcasts through the bridge to fix that (ip
route add 255.255.255.255/32 dev audiobr)

What is playeraddr supposed to do?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] mono audio setting possible in LMS

2017-08-01 Thread epoch1970

In PCP: main page > beta mode. Then Extras > asound.
Select all the options, then generate.

If you want equal *and* mono at the same time, you need something like
'this asound.conf'
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?107539-PCP3-2-Need-to-inject-sound-from-aplay-while-squeezelite-runs=886323=1#post886323)
(sorry I didn't find the original poster's message).
Login to pcp with ssh, copy that file to /etc/asound.conf, then backup
your settings with "pcp bu" and only then reboot the player.

Of course you need to adapt this file in case your system doesn't use
"hw0:0".

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Does a sox (?) DSP plugin make sense?

2017-07-16 Thread epoch1970

I am in the throes of setting up a bit of DSP with ladspa within ALSA on
PCP.
What I need is something like a "night mode" compressor.

Achieving this with ALSA is not user-friendly and I hit limitations. Due
to the ladpsa chain -and a dmixer I need for other reasons- I end up
with PCP players that have lost their equalizer GUI and need a buffer
size of at least 325ms to play CD-quality sources. 
The compressor chain is rather crude (I don't know how to use a
side-chain in ALSA) and that big buffer is not good news for sync:
players can be in sync but the audio processing in ALSA somehow not, so
it is now possible to get discernable echo and the players will not try
to fix it, they sustain it...

So to make sure as little as possible happens in the ALSA layer, I've
fixed players to report and use 16/44.1. And now sox kicks in when the
occasional DVD-A comes about and this taxes the server, too.
All of this with raspberry amplifier boards that can support natively a
ludicrous number of samples sizes and frequencies but are a bit lacking
in the mixer department

Then it hit me: I don't really mind loading the server up to the gills
or adding latency as long as further down the road the software players
sync and use an ALSA layer as thin as possible.
It looks like sox is ladspa- or maybe lv2-aware, so I am wondering if a
DSP plugin in LMS would make sense?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Logitech Media Server 7.9.0 is out!

2017-07-15 Thread epoch1970

I wanted to add to a thread I remember of (a user who chooses to
shutdown his/her NAS) but I couldn't find it back.

Right now I a using Logitech Media Server Version : 7.9.1 - 1491339164 @
Tue Apr 4 21:14:44 UTC 2017 on a Pi 2, connected to a 1st-gen WD green
1TB drive via some no-name USB dock.
Of this setup, only the Pi, SD and OS are to be trusted. The adapter and
drive are expected to be flaky and I rarely use them.

I want to report what I think is iffy/unclear behavior of LMS in this
context: it easily "loses" songs (the files are still there, a rescan
brings them back), or -less often- becomes totally numb.

Obviously the drive and/or adapter are responsible for this. LMS with a
decent USB drive or network mount works perfectly.
I know this, but LMS didn't made it clear to me at all. In fact it took
me a little while to understand what was going on.

So I'm not sure there is something that can be done about it, but if a
dedicated log channel could show "gone" files perhaps it could help
users understand their storage or link isn't up to snuff? Or maybe a
paragraph in the README? It's been a while I didn't read it ;)

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Boombox Time Zone

2017-07-12 Thread epoch1970

If you mean a Squeezebox Boom, this one gets its time from the server
and has no idea what a time zone is.
So: 
- check system configuration on the machine that runs LMS and see which
TZ it uses. It's not a setting on the LMS server. Look at your system
configuration for locale and TZ.
- If you are using mysqueezebox.com there is a TZ setting there (in
Account Settings and in Preferences for each registered player) in and
you want to set it to BST too.

If your Logitech device has a color TFT screen (Radio, Touch, Duet) then
I think there is a TZ setting there too, but I am not sure.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] commonand for alarm snooze?

2017-06-26 Thread epoch1970

I'm using Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.0 - 1472937447 @ Sat Sep 3
21:27:35 UTC 2016, I think that is the release version.
I tried the "button snooze" trick with an SB3 and it works fine.
Until now I was using an Airplay bridge client. So I suppose squeezelite
players work fine too.

Are you sure you're not sleeping the Controller instead of the Receiver
or something like that?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] commonand for alarm snooze?

2017-06-25 Thread epoch1970

Once again.

When an alarm is playing and its duration is not elapsed, these commands
are taken into account and mute the player. Then at the end of the
snooze period configured for the player, the alarm rings again. 

>From the command-line, on the server itself: send echo
"aa:aa:b5:31:46:62 button snooze"| nc.traditional -t -w 1 127.0.0.1
9090
>From a browser:
"http://montreux.local.:9000/status.html?p0=button=snooze=aa:aa:b5:31:46:62;
(returns an html status page for the player)
or
"http://montreux.local.:9000/status?p0=button=snooze=aa:aa:b5:31:46:62;
(for fire-and-forget)

montreux.local. is my LMS server, replace that with the address of your
server.
aa:aa:b5:31:46:62 is my player ID, replace that with the one you want to
snooze.

If it doesn't work for you, I'd suggest you ask "loxone" support.

This does work for me:

Hmm. For how long??
The solution is simple. Shutdown the Pi (or LMS) before shutting down
the network storage device. A NAS is a piece of infrastructure, it is
not supposed to go down unless it breaks.
It is also possible to attach something like a 3TB 2"5 USB drive to a Pi
and solve the problem (for most people at least.)

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Before I go use the code, can someone tell me about Virtual Libraries with the CLI?

2017-05-17 Thread epoch1970

Specifically I would like to be able to de-associate and re-associate a
player with a virtual library.
I use Squeezy to quite comfortably unsync and re-sync players according
to pre-defined groupings. The idea is that individual users may use a
player for their own enjoyment after hours but in the morning the system
resets to a known, standard setup.

I can tell my users to re-assign a player to the appropriate virtual
library before lights off, but I would prefer to leave them entire
liberty and have the script automatically re-attach players to the
virtual library in the morning. Squeezy has a '-json' command, I can
pass anything through this.

I haven't seen mention of virtual libraries in the CLI doc. Are there
specific pragma I can use?

Thanks in advance.

If not, you might have forgot to stop the server before modifying the
file? To be sure, restart LMS once again, then check the prefs file and
see if your modification is there.
Or your pattern might be wrong. Post the system path(s) you want the
scanner to avoid and a copy-paste of the preference you've set for the

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] A thanks for Virtual Libraries

2017-05-01 Thread epoch1970

I'm late to the party, no doubt... But I've recently found use for the
virtual libraries feature, and it's great.
Defining them via advanced search was easy enough in my case (except for
the fact the "save as" button is a bit hard to find under Safari/OS X
:)

With a virtual library I was able to liberate a user from building and
manipulating playlists; instead he can let players roam over the entire
virtual library, and no further. Very good indeed.

Hi cparker,
I've looked about my linux servers, I'm afraid I don't have the original
zips but I have found this installed:
Code:

AutoDisplay  2.1.10
  ContextMenu 2.1.25
  SaverSwitcher 2.1.30
  SettingsManager 2.1.15



AFAIK I could repack the directories in InstalledPlugins as zips and
that would be equivalent to the original files?
Let me know (PM is preferable, I don't visit this forum often)

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] SB3 can't connect to LMS after changes

2016-07-29 Thread epoch1970

Ok, I think what we need is a bit more detail on the PC, namely the OS
type and its current network configuration: IP address and routes 
(copy/paste of "ifconfig" or "ipconfig" and "route -n" or ...)

I will make a few generic remarks in the meantime:
- You should go with a DHCP server and static lease assignments (based
on MAC address). That would be the same as fixed IP, execpt you only
have to manage a single node to configure the network. It is simply
better.
- I expect you've set the wireless "router" in AP mode, so that all
wireless SB3s are in the same network as the PC.
- Is it possible that the PC runs a local firewall and during the
static-dhcp-static config flip/flop, the firewall reset to a standard
ruleset that blocks 9000/tcp or 3483/udp + 3483/tcp ?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] WOL from remote location

2016-06-16 Thread epoch1970

Long story short, in my experience:
- openvpn bridged network over 2 sites (and certainly many more) is
transparent and works fine if the upstream bandwidth of the site where
LMS is located is good enough.
- Local service is always better, with or without VPN. I'm using
Syncthing with great success to mirror directories. It's a p2p, per
folder service. It is absolutely not a backup system, rather the
contrary (deletes propagate faster than copies!) So make an offline
backup first.
- The Pi is a great platform for any of this. I have tested a bridged
VPN setup over a local lan, I'm getting transfer speeds in excess of 70
mbps with 25% CPU usage (1 core loaded), it performs just fine. Its
bottleneck is IOs, when saving/reading files it'll hover around 30 mpbs
rather.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS on different OS Platforms

2016-03-30 Thread epoch1970

I don't think "performance" (you could describe what you want to
achieve) has much to do with the OS. It does have to do with the
platform, but since the server is on the network, bandwidth equalizes
much differences.

If your mind is not set, I would suggest to go with the largest (or
fastest growing) user group. I have a vague idea this could mean
Raspberry Pi+Linux.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Alternatives for Squeezebox Radio

Google cast is probably the cheapest you can get, but AFAIK it will not
operate unless it has access to the internet.
All others mentioned above are local network devices.

And avoid using /media, the system likes to patrol and own things
there.
FWIW I always use "/var/data/" to avoid such problems.
"/opt/" is a sure bet too.

Wow, a PPC mac Mini... I would leave it at that if I were you, even if
opening the box is not such of a problem.
The little machine that still can is terribly slow by todays standards.
A raspberry Pi would be cheaper than a RAM module and considerably
faster (except perhaps on random disk IOs)
