I'm so used to having replaygain with Squeezeboxen, that playlists just
don't seem right without it. Let's give it a try?

What happens then if you play your music by Genre? Will it still even
out the volume, is there any difference from volume gain?

[slim] Amazon Echo / Alexa integration how-to with IFTTT

2015-12-26 Thread FredFredrickson

Just got an Amazon Echo, and wanted to post how I got it to control the
squeezeboxen. It's a little hairy and requires a bit of a work around to
get it to do specific commands (for instance, playing a specific station
or genre requires you to program each genre individually), but it's
worth while since I only listen to a few pandora stations. You can
theoretically get it to do anything you'd like.

As a side note, a great way to intercept commands from logitech media
server's web interface is using firebug to see what post/get details are
sent when you submit a command. That's how I stole the pandora details.

Step 1. Connect your amazon echo to IFTTT.com

Step 2. Port Foward 9000 to your media server. Make sure it's password
protected!

Step 3. Add alexa commands to IFTTT, use alexa as the trigger, and Maker
as the THAT channel.

Note: You'll need the mac address of your players if you want to control
them individually.

Example:

Alexa trigger squeezebox pause kitchen

Maker url:
http://username:password@youripaddress:9000/status.html?p0=pause=macaddress


Example:

Alexa trigger squeezebox ambient

(this will play the ambient station on pandora, the values may differ
per account)

http://username:password@youripaddress:9000/anyurl?p0=playlist=play=pandora%3A%2F%2F241611197772466.mp3=Ambient%20Radio=macaddress&_dc=1451159698107


There's a good list of GET variables you can send to your server here:
http://tutoriels.domotique-store.fr/content/54/95/fr/api-logitech-squeezebox-server-_-player-http.html

Hope this helps, if anybody has questions I'll try to answer them.

Well, got a Chromecast Audio today and I'm quite impressed with it
generally.  Had some issues with clicks and pops on the analogue audio
output  but that turned out to be a ground loop.

However, when I tried to install the 'Chromecast bridge' plugin from the
list of 3rd party apps on the Settings/Plugins page of LMS, all that
happens upon restarting LMS is that I see 'Chromecast bridge' in the
last of 'Updated Plugins Available' at the top of the page (given as v
0.1.2.0).  It's not installed in 'Active plugins' and no matter how many
times I check the box and then click 'Apply' and then 'Restart Now' it
just sits in the Updated Plugins box, it never installs and activates.

Admittedly I am using a super-old NAS (QNAP TS-109) and LMS is at 7.7.2
which I think was the last official package update for that NAS.

Re: [slim] Classic and receiver synchronization issues

2015-12-26 Thread toby10

No issue mixing wired & WiFi, if your network is decent.  When playing
local files what format is being used?  MP3?  FLAC?  WAV?  I'd suggest
ripping one album to WAV, set LMS to stream WAV native (no transcoding),
see if the players stutter.  Full WAV's would be a pretty good stress
test, particularly for WiFi.

But if simple internet radio is a problem, that's not good.

Some very basic WiFi tweaks to possibly improve signal strength and
reliability

___Router Administration Basics (1-5 require admin access to your
router):
1.  use a unique SSID name (name of your network/router)
2a.  if using a G WiFi:  set WiFi to G only (turns off a & b modes)
2b.  if using an N WiFi: set to G Compatibility mode (if using G
devices)
3.  change the broadcast channel to the least used channel near you (see
*)
4.  select a FIXED ch, do not use the “auto ch switching” on the router
5.  choose only channels 1 or 6 or 11   
___Physical (location)
6.  router and WiFi antenna orientation adjustments can help signal
strength
7.  try to locate the router as “central” to the home as possible,
keeping in mind length & width & height
8.  keep router away from other electronic devices (cordless phones, ISP
modem, computers)
___Simple Maintenance
9.  reboot WiFi router every once in a while (once a month is usually
sufficient)

* If your WiFi network card software already gives the ch numbers and
the signal strength of all nearby networks, that's all you need.  But
there are free programs like NetStumbler if needed.

It sounds like you added something else to the network and this could be

Is it just me or did the app break after some update to 1.1.4 (which
Android tends to happily execute on its own)? Both my Nexus 9 and

No, I haven't had the issue before. It was working until May. When an
upgrade to Android 6.0 blew up my Nexus 9, i used my iPads. Now that I
got around to restore the Nexus 9, I noticed that the app doesn't work
anymore. Shame. But I guess we're going to see more of that with
official and semi-official apps going forward. Makes me wish Logitech
had build a business model around software, not only hardware. I bought
the Squeezer app the other day, so it can be done. :-)

Thanks for the info.

I've post something in the dev repository, but I don't think this is
satisfactory as all I can use if the analogue gain. You can try, but
I've decided to try a different route to support reply gain properly:
when the format if pcm, I'll apply it at the sample level. This will
work only with pcm, so if you want it, you'll have to ask LMS to convert
all to pcm before sending it to the player - nothing's perfect

Re: [slim] Chromecast Audio ideal for Squeezebox replacement hardware?

2015-12-26 Thread philippe_44

I've added replaygain in the dev repository. This only works if the
audio samples sent by LMS are uncompressed (pcm or aif codecs). For mp3
files, as LMS does not by default allows transcoding from mp3 to pcm,
you must add a rule in custom-convert.conf. Be aware that it means that
more network bandwidth and CPU are consumed. 


Code:


  mp3 pcm * *  
  [lame] --mp3input --decode -t --silent $FILE$ -
  



NB: of course, the rule can be made player specific with the MAC of the
Chromecast
