This really has to be done in LMS. This was asked many many years ago
and I think some POC was done using something like ffmpeg to do the
buffering but user control and how to identify stations to uses it and
not use it , made usage clunky. It is probably harder now when users
expect metadata to be provided as it is not always in the stream.

Chunked HTTP streasm (DASH/HLS) has lots of extra capabilities but only
a few are being used now more often in video stream. A few audio HLS
(and DASH) stream have large backups (e.g. BBC has about 3 hours on
live), but others have only a few minutes so if a generic feature was
offered in the HLS plugin, user will probably be disappointed.

The place to store it would be LMS running in proxy mode ... and it is
already being done (sort of) as part of the code put in recently to try
to improve the playing of long podcasts. My guess is that this
capability could be extended to be more general purpose.

However, it is already available when playing BBC radio via BBC Sounds
plugin. In that case it is BBC that has the old content - with the
benefit that you can rewind to the start of a programme that you join
part way though which you would not be able to do with a general purpose
LMS proxy cache.

Stations that offer HLS make this much more practical.
A recent case came up here where a bug meant that listening via LMS was
a few hours behind.

It would be rather cool if there was a buffer of about half an hour
where you're able to rewind live radio.
But I suspect hardware limitations of older Squeezeboxes make this
possibility unlikely.

Depending on the interface ... try long press on Pause.

Actually, no – Power off (whether with the hardware remote control or
via web/Squeezelite-X) has the same effect as Pause, the stream
continues for a while. But hey, it's no issue. Thanks for the response.

Re: [slim] Network traffic continues for a minute after pausing players

2021-11-29 Thread Michael Herger

I assume that this is by design in order to make the players ready to
resume the stream instantly, and then after a set period the players
conclude that the user does not want to resume and stops the stream.


Correct.


Interestingly, with the PCP, pressing Stop in the PCP web interface
stops the traffic instantly.


Pause and stop are not the same thing.


1. Is there on the LMS web interface or on the players themselves an
equivalent to the "Stop" on the PCP?


Power off.


2. Is there a setting somewhere that determines the time delay from
"Pause" to the cutting of the stream?


I don't think so.

[slim] Network traffic continues for a minute after pausing players

2021-11-28 Thread beneix


I have recently upgraded my router equipment so have a better
opportunity to monitor traffic across my LAN. This has revealed to me a
quirk with the traffic to Squeezeplayers.

I have an SB3, a Squeezebox Radio and a PicoReplayer set up. On all
three, I observe the same phenomenon: A player that is paused by
pressing the pause button on the main LMS web interface, or the pause
button in the Squeezelite-X app, or even the power button on the remote
control in the case of the SB3, continues to draw traffic over the LAN
at the same bitrate as before. After about a minute, the traffic stops.

I assume that this is by design in order to make the players ready to
resume the stream instantly, and then after a set period the players
conclude that the user does not want to resume and stops the stream.
Interestingly, with the PCP, pressing Stop in the PCP web interface
stops the traffic instantly.

This raises two questions:

1. Is there on the LMS web interface or on the players themselves an
equivalent to the "Stop" on the PCP?
2. Is there a setting somewhere that determines the time delay from
"Pause" to the cutting of the stream?
