Sure I could manage to install dependencies and sure I could use APT instead of DPKG to solve the problem, was an example just to understand how is meant to work. Someone here above reported that installing 8.3.1 solved it, I assumed it was correct, my fault. Thanks, now I better understand.

Hi Michael, thanks for your answer, I sent you also a PM on this matter, you could then forget it. But could you please better articulate what we are expecting is going to happen? Using this dependency problem, as an example: "latest" is now 8.3.0 and, as per yesterday night, it suffers from that. "nigthly stable" is 8.3.1 and the problem is not there, which means has been corrected at some time. Should we expect 8.3.0 will be corrected too in the near future OR is 'frozen' untill you will promote 8.3.1 to 'latest'? If so, when sis going to happen (talking in general, not specific to that release and problem) Hoping my question is clear, Thanks.

Is Squeezelite 1.8.4 (R2) needed for C3PO? the R2 patch is needed, but now is integrated into all the squeezelite versions I'm aware of. In Daphile it works out of the box, in the Pcp version (the one from Ralphy) needs to be activated adding -W to the command line. C-3PO will still prompt you with a warning message saying that your version is non an R2 version, but is just a warning.

IN C-3PO you have gain, that is linear like the one in squeezelite and Loudness. Loudness is not linear, it applies the Isophonic curve: 30657 The rationale is: 1. select the SPL where you 'perceive' your speakers as 'linear' (i.e. 60phon). 2. apply a gain variation i.e. -20db the resulting level is not a 'plain' reduction of 20db at all the frequencies, but some frequencies are reduced more than other, resulting in loudness, that is meant to 'preserve' the same perception (or EQ) you have when listening at 60db. In that example, at 60phon 200Hz are at 60db as 1000Hz are, but at 40phon (resulting from the attenuation of 20phon) they are 'louder', more or less 42db. The opposite for 500Hz, that is a bit 'louder' at 60phon than at 40. Posing the reference at 60, 40 or 80phon is arbitrary, you could select any of them, the result will change a little, being the differences form 100 and 80 different from the ones between 60 and 40, but, usually, an attenuation is resulting in more 'loud' where a positive gain will result in a flatter line. SOX has a caveat with loudness: the 'balance' of the two channels it often changes a bit, so you'll have to compensate using per channel volume controls. Loudness is not my 'preferred' way to EQ, the one I prefer is 'shelving EQ' (Treble and Bass command) that works like the good old' tone controls' in amplifiers, just remember to always use attenuation. I.e. Treble -3 160 results in a moderate boost of bass. Treble -2 160 Treble -2 630 Treble +2 1 is a very little loudness Please note that the +2 is after two consecutive -2, so the resulting absolute correction at 10.000Hz and over is -2. Never be able to understand if the gain value is expressed in db or what. To me is smaller than db, but never measured. here some details: http://sox.sourceforge.net/sox.html about isophonic curves: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal-loudness_contour +---+ |Filename: Curve_isofoniche.svg.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=30657| +---+ Author of C-3PO plugin, Squeezelite-R2, Falcon Web interface - See www.marcoc1712.it -------- marcoc1712's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105309 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Accordingly with the README in /lib: 1. All modules specific (modified) to LMS MUST stay in /lib. Is that correct? 2. /CPAN contains 'stock' modules, NEVER modified one because LMS, they MUST stay in /lib (see 1). Is that correct? The question then is: how, in LMS (not in a plugin) we handle situations where LMS should use a different .pm in different archs or versions? I.e. Audio::Scan in /lib we have a version that is good only until PERL 0.24, then we have specific versions in CPAN (are they 'stock'?) for 5.26, 5.28 and 5.30, but if I look at the system CPAN of 5.30 in arch, I should use version 1.01 NOT 1.02, then I'll need: Solution 1: an arch specific Audio/Scan.pm (is that working with boostrap.pm ?) Solution 2: a modified Audio/Scan.pm in lib in order to handle the loading of different Scan.so depending on versions (in the style of the current one, but evolved to 10.1 and 1.02). in both cases, you then have a new ...CPAN/arch/5.30/aarch64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Audio/Scan.so, but my question what are you going to do in LMS to handle that situation? The reason I ask is because i need a separate program to run as 'transcoder' and I would like to use the very same method to load modules in it, in a plugin is easy to override LMS modules, no matter if in Slim, CPAN or lib, but I would not do that whenever is possible!

If /CPAN is different than the system CPAN is by accident, it should never be and it must not be because a LMS specific feature, is that correct?

I'll probably do that sooner or later, but now I miss the mac to do that by my self. To get a 'ready to play' version you could use the Ralphy's one with -W instead. R2 is not meant as an alternate built, it was born from the same Triode version and got support to DSD playback earlier, that's why it survived, them it misses (and it will never have) all the functionalities included in newer versions of Ralphy squeezelte, because I like more to keep it 'light'.

I was using it as the player, I always ran LMS on a debian machine, but I had LMS (and squeezelite) running on a 2009 mac book air for a while for demo purpose, so I'm quite sure you could run LMS also on the mini.

The late 2009 Mac Mini with his Os (or even a newer one) is one of the best music machines I ever had, to me, much better than the PI, it's a pity to use it just as the server! BTW, no needs to install Linux on it, LMS (and C-3PO) works flawlessly on macOs. In gentooPLayer at moment is not possible to discern the actual sample rate, but even in other OSs when using STDIN (needed for Qobuz) everything is always upsampled to the maximun selcted sample rate, so, if you only have i.e 44.1 and 96 material, selecting both (or only 96 in gentooPlayer) will result in upsampling to 96Khz of 44.1 material and 'native' playback of 96KHz, but if you also have some 88.2 or 48, they will be upsampled to 96Khz. This is because of a limit in LMS when using STDIN that could not be infringed by C-3PO as per it is today. Push Filippo to work on that :-)!

For only local Yes, select all the sample rate but 44.1 in output. This way only 44100 is upsampled to 48 Khz or 88.2, depending on the Target sample rate setting. BUT If you enable STDIN for FLAC (as needed for Qobuz) C-3PO will always upsample FLAC to the maximum sample rate, that' s because a limit of LMS when using STDIN as input.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] C-3PO plugin, a trnscoding helper.
A new version is out. It has been tested on Linux and Windows and it should work also in ARM and MacOs. In Gentoo with Perl 5.30 in ARN des not works, but this is becouse there is not yet CPAN in LMS for that arch. As usual, please report any problem.

Even more than before! thanks. When running 5.26.1 you don't have Scan.pm in any specific arch version of CPAM lib, then it uses the /lib version that loads the Scan.so version 0.95: /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/CPAN/arch/5.26/arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int/auto/Audio/Scan.so While, when running 5.24.1 you have /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/CPAN/arch/5.24/arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int/Audio/Scan.pm that loads version 1.0.2 from /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/CPAN/arch/5.24/arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int/auto/Audio/Scan.so I bet the old plugin was working in 5.26.1 but not in 5.24.1! If it's so, probably the solution is to move the C-3PO Udio::Scan version inside the local CPAN under the Win32 arch. I'll try! Tanks for your help.

YEs!
that's exactly where I'm losing my mind on...
Just to be sure, please forgive my pedantry
LMS is reporting that you are now using Perl 5.30 and Audo::Scan 1.02,
correct?
If so, it looks like Scan.pm is loaded from:
/usr/share/squeezeboxserver/CPAN/arch/5.30/Audio/Scan.pm
that load the bin from
/usr/share/squeezeboxserver/CPAN/arch/5.30/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Audio/Scan.so
or do you have a different architecture to load from, like
/usr/share/squeezeboxserver/CPAN/arch/5.30/aarch_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Audio/Scan.so
or similar?
That 's the difference from your case and gentoo on ARM, where it does
not works and it try to use version 1.01, and i could not understand
how it could be, given the source code.
Thanks for your Help.

I'm triyng to replicat ewhat you did:
1. remove Audio:Scan from .../Plugins/C3PO/lib
2. restart
that way, in a RPI 3+ with gentoo 64bit installed, it loads the file
located in .../lib/Audio::Scan.pm that contains the test:
Code:
package Audio::Scan;
use strict;
our $VERSION;
require XSLoader;
BEGIN {
foreach ('0.99', '0.93', '0.95', '0.94') {
eval { XSLoader::load('Audio::Scan', $_); };
if (!$@) {
$VERSION = $_;
last;
}
}
}
and fails.
Seems to me you are loading another version of Audio::Scan.pm, maybe
from CPAN and I could not understand how it happens.
I've got no ARM to test here, so I'm depending on correct pieces of
information coming from the users,
could you please explain what you did step by step?
is there, in your LMS STANDARD installation, NOT in the plugin, the
file .../lib/Audio/scan.pm at all?
If so, could you please post the first ten lines?
thanks

Please let me know about and then I'll move the new version into the production repository. I'll apreciate if anyone could try it also in macOsx Thanks a lot.

I'm not aware in how to accomplish that, have you got a working example? AFIK the evaluation i s made at compile time and the module is loaded, as per YAML modules and Audo:Scan.

The problem with Perl in socketWrapper was it simply hang. What you probably do not realize is that C-3PO could run as the plugin itself to just 'prepare' the commands that LMS will then use, replacing convert.conf and similar, but it could also perform as the transcoder itself, when settings requires some choice to be made at playtime, based on characteristics of the selected file to be played, other than file extension. Look at C_3PO.pl, that is the main in that case, using same modules used at setup time to produce a more specific command. In Windows, you could not use that as an 'executable' as you do in linux or macOs so you need to pack it in an exe. I already have revisoned sources that works in windows and linux, but I would like to produce a new .exe accordingly before distributing Is not a matter of find other executables, that's works fine, I includede Audio:scan 0.95 and few others bin because in 2012 they where not in the standard distribution, but now sure I could get rid of most of them, but i need to test, more in 2012 i had to 'invent' a way to download huge executables, now is in the standard, so i coul get rid of many parts I wrote for windows. But this require time that currently I don't have.

Completely change the structure of transcoding helper in order not to use only executables is something that I would like to avoid. I tried to use PERL as the executable and C3PO-pl at command line, does not work either. You have a lot of particularity in WIN, starting form the tremendous socketWrapper...

LMS when transcoding require to use an executable that FindBin could locate in path. In linux C-3PO wrote in Perl and containing only the main is an executable by itself, in Win is not. The easiest way is then to produce an 'exe' with PAR that is like a JAR for java, a simply packed code self-containing all the code tree. That's why I surley could change the source and leave the exe as it is, but I like more the two being in sync. What I need is a PAR module working with PERL 5.14.1 if someone has got it.

Back in 2012 0.93 was the standard and it was unable to read DSF and DFF files, So I introduced 0.95. The problem is that C-3PO to run in windows has to be an executable (becouse of iindBin procedure in LMS), so you need to pack it with PAR or similar. Problem is that LMS needs to use PERL 15.4.1 that is very old, and PAR module that I could find are for 1.24.x I faced the same problem also in 2012, I spent a lot of time but, finally, I arranged to produce a working executable, but I changed my development machine few times since then... so I'l have to do it again. If someone has a win machine with the correct PAR installed and could pass it to me it will help!

If 2, it's probably the alsa buffer size/count of squeezelite or maybe also the input/output buffer size (-b). If 1, could be different causes. Try increasing alsa buffer, but You could also be running short of RAM (absolutely avoid that!), or power, too low SOX Buffer, multitask enabled or disabled depending on the free core you have, problems in the HDD Disk/USB/network configuration for NAS,...

BTW this error is from LMS, saying that no valid commands are executable for input flac, that meaning somehow transcoding has been disabled (in file types) or some executable (either FLAC or SOX) is not availlable TO LMS or some else, but Audio Scan and C-3PO are not involved in this case, if the command is the one you posted before.

If you are getting white noise in the output that's not because of C-3PO, if no errors appears in LMS player.surce, then is probably the player. Is Squeezelite running with -W?

Audio:Scan is a Perl module not a standalone executable, something more like a dependency to a library but runtime. I believe 1.02 is there because 0.95 is not working on your platform, I already faced this in other platforms (fedora?) but yesterday I did not remember. Some work is needed to let it work with C-3PO, if you or someone else would like to produce the patch, I'll be happy to integrate it.

In this case FLAC is the transcoder so target sample rate should be unique or STDIN is enabled, note that SOX will be engaged to resample to 88200 even if the input is the same (but it will not). If is not like that, the problem is more complicated, could you double check, please? Thanks.

The message 522 is an error of mine in translation, should be a warning
to you that you are using a no-R2 version of squeezelite, but as far as
you know -W (R2 in Ralphy's squeezelite) it's on never mind.
The log is overcomplicated because you have 3 client, but, again,
nevermind, seems tome settings work as it should, but I miss any
playback command, did you try to play any track from the start, between
settings changing and after? if so, no errors spots form C-3PO, you
should please enable player.source log to info or debug to spot
others.
Please proceed like that:
1. set flac to STDIN OFF and try playback, that should go at 192,
producing the command line:
Code:
"flc-pcm-*-b8:27:eb:cf:ce:db" => {
capabilities => { D => "RESAMPLE=-r %d", F => "noArgs", I => "noArgs", R =>
"noArgs" },
command => "[flac] -dcs --totally-silent \$START\$ \$END\$ -- \$FILE\$ |
[sox] -q -t wav - -t wav -b 24 --buffer 8192 - gain -h rate -v -I -b 90.7
-f 192000",
visible in last executed command (isn't it?)
2. set flac to STDIN ON and try playback, that should go at 176,
producing the command line:
Code:
"flc-aif-*-b8:27:eb:8c:8d:cc" => {
capabilities => { D => "RESAMPLE=-r %d", F => "noArgs", R => "noArgs" },
command => "[C-3PO] -c \$CLIENTID\$ -p
\"/srv/squeezebox/prefs/plugin/C3PO.prefs\" -l \"/srv/squeezebox/logs\" -x
\"/usr/sbin\" -i flc -o aif \$START\$ \$END\$ \$RESAMPLE\$ \$FILE\$",
That should viiìsible also in the last executed command if you launch a
playback, but you say it does not and does not play at all jumping track
to track to the last. This is typical when LMS could not build the
command, let we see the log for that.
Thanks.
p.s.
YOu could disable C-3PO debug for the moment so log it will be clearer.

The right version is now in the 'offiicial' third party plugin list, no needs to use different repo anymore. About "the best" it depends mainly on your dac and interface. Upsampling is 'good' for many reasons and bad for others, but is always bad, in my opinion, when done more than once, so if you have an upsamplig DAC that will upsample anyway, no matter the input samplerate, is probably better not to upsample also before, but if your dac is a NOS DAC, capable to work at 192KHz, you could probably benefit from upsampling with C-3PO, if your DAC will not upsample if feeded by an higher sample rate, then you could try both and select the best for you. Always remember that dithering is necessary when resampling under 48KHz or 'cutting' the depth to <20bit and could be useful also at greater sample rates/bit depth. Be careful to apply dither at the 'real' precision of your interface/dac, not at the 'nominal' one. i.e. Many sound cards work at 32bit, but sure the dac is not 32bit capable, in that case, apply dither at the 32nd bit is a non-sense. Dithering over 24bit is probably unuseful, anyway, the 'right' dithering is probably the biggest difference in the result, so try some of them an choose the one you prefer (be carefull that not all the noise shaping algorithm are availlable at higher sample rates). Having said that, If you could not 'feel' the difference, probably you are currently dithering too deep.

In the above situation You should get an INFO message at top of the page: StdIn (es. Qobuz) enabled, will resample at the max allowed sample rate. This is because I could not investigate the incoming stream for the actual sample rate, so I fault back to the maximum allowed one. When STDIN is disabled, you could choose between the absolute closest one, synchronous or asynchronous (meaning multiple of the actual sample rate or not). The actual output sample rate will then depend on which ones you selected. i.e. if you select 44.1, 48, 192 with input sample rate 44.1, selecting closest -> 44.1, closest synchronous -> 44.1, closest asynchronous -> 48. with input sample rate 96,selecting closest -> 192, closest synchronous -> 192, closest asynchronous -> n/a.

"Squeezelite version is non R2, assuming is compliant. See players." is just an INFO message, because a non R2 version will not understand the actual sample rate of a pcm stream anfd play a loud white noise. That means you could use the Ralphy version, but need to use -W in command line. Other than this, C-3PO was made when the Ralphy version had no DSD support in it. "Unable to run C-3PO transcoder, fault back to PERL. See server log." means the executable (C-3PO) is not working for some reason (probably it miss the X capability), the C-3PO.pl is used instead, nothing more. In general, I wrote to Micheel to know if is there any opportunity to point to GitHub (or elsewhere) and not to my server for the repo, too bad my provider went default and I'm currently struggling with bureaucracy to have my domain back, if someone is willing to host it, feel free.

R2 is a version of squeezelite built on top of the last one made by triode, back at the days there where no one maintaining it. What R2 added was: 1. capability to look at the Wav header, so it could receive upsampled PCM content. The same patch was adopted by Daèhile first and then Ralphy (-W) 2. includes the DSD playbach patch from Daphile. 3. forget the 'length' in header to solve the problem with long tracks. I sent all of them to Ralphy, I believe 2 is implemented in a slightly different manner, I don't know nothing about 3. There is no reason to use R2 today, if not that is 'lighter', missing all the other was added to squeezelite.

Yes. too bad my provider went to default, then I'm waiting for a legal action to get back the domain and move it somewhere else. I think is going to take some time, if someone is willing to host c-3PO repo, please contact me. 7.9.2 is not suitable for C-3PO.

Are you sure they work just disabling C-3PO? that sound weird to me. The only one that have chanches to involve C-3PO is this one: Code: flc-flc-*-02:00:58:10:e3:a6 Command: - where "-" means 'native' playback, C-3PO is out of the game also in this case. To get that command line, you should have disabled Convert, Resample, Additional Effects for FLAC and it should work as if C-3PO were not installed at all. I'm interested in the line active when you are having troubles. About SOX: C-3PO doesn't load any particular version, it simply uses the one that is available in your path chain. Messages in log are warnings, still there because I'm lazy... I apologize for that, but they don't hurt at all.

If you look at the pictures, the song URL is: lms://something/download.flac, and the log says "_playersMessage (789) Problem: Can't connect to server for:: lms://1e58b0bf-4f70-4c37-8997-f3ad91ec8a73/music/25852/download.flac". I believe we have two problems here: 1. is not flac but wave, 2.when using cue files the URI is not enough, you should provide the 'anchor' to the start of the song. Hope you could arrange it to work, if you need some help with cue, maybe I could help you there, just ask.
