Re: [slim] Spotify on Squeezebox / UE Smart Radio - end of life
Ouch. I assume it's a major change to the Spotify API that can not be integrated into the current LMS ecosystem without a major effort? Is it worth a crowdfunding attempt? ...pablo Server: Virtual Machine (on VMware Workstation 12) running Ubuntu 16.04 + LMS 7.9 System: SB Touch --optical->- Benchmark DAC2HGC --AnalysisPlus Oval Copper XLR->- NAD M22 Power Amp --AnalysisPlus Black Mesh Oval->- Totem Element Fire Other Rooms: 2x SB Boom; 1x SB Radio; 1x SB Classic-> NAD D7050 -> Totem DreamCatcher + Velodyne Minivee Sub Computer audio: workstation --USB->- audioengine D1 -> Grado PS500e/Shure 1540 pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107648 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Ah, ok, (and apols for the double post there). I probably need to do some more testing then, again when no one is in the house and turn off pretty much everything excep the media server PC and have another go. I read that footnote sentence as meaning the streaming server being Deezer, not the local logitech media server. But your interpretation makes more sense; why would it stream the same song 5 times?

[slim] Spotify on Squeezebox / UE Smart Radio - end of life
We want to give you a heads up that Spotify support will be removed from your Logitech Squeezebox and UE Smart Radio on July 20, 2017. Spotify is discontinuing some device-specific integrations in order to make playing Spotify on your speaker and other devices better and easier, and regrettably Squeezebox and UE Smart Radio are impacted. See 'Spotify support page' (https://support.spotify.com/us/listen_everywhere/on_speaker/why-cant-i-use-the-spotify-app-on-my-speaker/) for details. As of July 20, 2017, you will not be able to connect to Spotify from your Squeezebox and UE Smart Radio. You can still enjoy your personal music library and other radio and music streaming services such as Pandora, Tidal, TuneIn and more. Please see the full list of supported apps and services 'here' (http://www.mysqueezebox.com/index/Home) for details. mherger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107648 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Spotify about to stop working?
Hi all, I'm currently running Spotify using the protocol handler on LMS and have today received an email quoting the following: "Important information about your Squeezebox speaker Hello, We want to give you a heads up that Spotify support will soon be removed from your Squeezebox speaker. We want to make playing Spotify on your speaker and other devices better and easier which means regrettably that we sometimes have to discontinue device-specific integrations." Just wondering what people think this means. Do you think it's just Spotify withdrawing support for the mysqueezebox app (and that Spotify will still work using the LMS plugin)?

You're mixing bits and Bytes: 2880Mb = (2880/8)MB = 360MB. Bitrate is defined in bits per second, while bandwidth usage usually is counted in bytes, not bits. My calculation was a bit misleading, as my guessed 100MB would have been for a single stream. 360MB/5P = 72MB/Player. wellsi wrote: > I'm using Logitech Media Servier on a windows PC which has my > 'mysqueezebox.com' account info entered.

IMHO syncing 5 players using LMS should only pull the stream once from the cloud to LMS, and 5x from LMS to the players. See the footnote about "partial" syncing on mysb.com: "You can sync these, but the audio will most likely not be in perfect sync. The reason for this is because each player maintains its own connection to the streaming server, and may start at slightly different points in the stream." mysb.com can't sync perfectly well, because the players stream directly from the source. With LMS this limitation goes away as LMS is proxying the stream.

Can you track down from what source that data came? Trust me when I say nothing is being proxied through mysb.com - the cost would kill us. Are you using LMS or connect to mysb.com directly? The single stream when synced would only work when using LMS (for aforementioned reasons).

Re: [slim] Streaming Deezer on the Duet - is data from Deezer.com or Squeezebox.com?
If I stream Deezer on my Duets around the house, am I streaming from Deezer.com (which is included in their deal meaning it's not using up my data allowance), or am I streaming from Squeezebox.com (which isn't, and therefore will eat up my allowance). The audio date comes from the music source, not mysb.com. I don't know how they handle this, as it's not coming from some deezer.com domain, but a CDN they're using. But I guess they've figured that out. Also, (just checking), I assume if I'm streaming to 4 players synchronised, I'm only downloaing data once to mediaserver which is then in turn streamed wthin my home network to the 4 duet players (so Im not using 4x the data when playign on 4 players...

Hi all I use Three (a UK cellphone provider) for my home broadband (their Home-fi - 4G option which gives me 40Gb a month of LTE 4G data for use in my home). They also have a special deal that allows unlimited streaming from a few streaming sites like Netflix and Deezer which doesn't use up my data allowance.

[slim] DSD or DoP?
I am using latest PiCore player 3.20 with LMS 7.9.1 on a Raspberry Pi 3 with Hifiberry Digi+ Pro. I really love it! One thing is bothering me though. I have played around with DSD but I can only get DoP working. Is there a way to play native DSD and is yes, how? FYI I am using I2S output of the Hifiberry DIgi+ Pro board. I tested yesterday latest Volumio (beta) image and it runs native DSD without any problem both 64 and 128. I am wondering if and how we can get native DSD output from PiCore Looking forward to your replies! jags's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65971 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107644 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
