Re: [slim] Spotty and file format naming for music stored on Synology nas
I don't use NFS or have a Synology box so am only going on what was in the linked documentation. I suspect that this part is important: > > AUTH_SYS: Use the NFS client's UID (user identifier) and GID (group > identifier) to check access permissions. > It looks like this need to match what pCP is using. Hopefully someone will join this thread with real example and the pCP documentation can be updated.

In the nfs rule, I put for the hostname/ip, 192.168.1.102 which is the ip address of the pi on which the lms is running (no port number) - maybe I should have made the access more general by including a range of ip addresses which would cover every pi that has access? For security the box was filled with sys - clicking the drop down list AUTH_SYS is ticked but the three Kerberos boxes remain unticked. Those are, reading from the top - authentication, integrity and privacy. Perhaps I should have ticked one or more - possibly all of these? crrc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66599 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114223 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I failed to correct a reference to the name in the media library - lest this cause a chase of red herrings, I should correct this. It is now "Diskstation" as is probably obvious as the webpages come up with Diskstation - clearly taken from the pcp page. hope that makes things clear (ha, ha).

Re: [slim] Spotty and file format naming for music stored on Synology nas
The /volume1/music part is possibly where the problem is. Do you have any other NFS clients that you can test with? eg a MAC Or try CIFS / SMB from a Windows system. Then you can see what they view.

Re: [slim] Spontaneous volume reduction
I just had it happen again - my kitchen Boom was (soft) powered off, and when I turned it on it came on with zero volume. The volume of the other players wasn't affected though - so it seems like a different variant of the problem. As far as I can tell from the server log, the kitchen Boom simply came on with [mixer volume] = [0]. I would not have turned it off in that state. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114230 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Spontaneous volume reduction
Just cautiously asking - maybe the problem be outside group player? There were some threads about a spontaneous increase of the volume? I had this on a no-grouped AirPlay speaker (well - it is grouped, but it was not playing through the group)? I am using no upnp player android devices, but iPeng. So the problem could be a “sudden volume change”? Rainer > On 25 Mar 2021, at 11:02, slartibartfast > wrote: > > > I have noticed this happening sometimes as well but never figured out > why or when.

Re: [slim] Spotty and file format naming for music stored on Synology nas
Thanks for the replies. Things have moved on. I have installed picoreplayer on one rp1 4 and I am now getting BBC Sounds addon and Spotify. Hooray. However still cannot get the Synology nas to spit out music folders to the nas. I have tried various combinations of nfs and cifs with the ip address of the synology and tinkering with the share properties of the folders on the synology but no joy. All this on the pcp setup pages. Still get the same message about not connecting, and no sign of the folders after a reboot. Going to the lms webpages it sees the mnt point (music) but no attached folders. If you could direct me to a forum which deals with this issue alone I would be happy to expand. Currently thinking of getting an ssd and copying all my music to that and plugging it directly into the pi running the lms. It would need to be running all the time (like the Synology) but no big deal I suppose. Many thanks for your help and at least the issue is now narrowed to one! crrc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66599 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114223 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

My recollection is that Amazon do have some back-end tricks to avoid some triggering - particularly from TV programmes. I think they spot the simultaneous launches from lots of TVs and then capture that sound pattern and (eventually) blacklist it so that it does not happen on repeats.

Yes she does respond to recordings mentioning her name (unless you have enabled the option to only respond to your voice, but then you have to train her). By the way, if you did suspect it was Alexa you could enable logging in ngrok and see every incoming jsonrpc POST through your tunnel. The "inspect: false" in your .yml file inhibits this but if you either remove that line or change it to 'true' then in the :4040 web interface for ngrok you can see all the traffic in real time. p.s.
