Re: [slim] Annouce: New Squeezeslave 0.8 release availabe on sourceforge

2009-05-07 Thread nowork

Hi,

I'm having trouble listening to NPR Radio at 32kbps CBR with
SqueezeSlave. The sound output is like "chimpunks."  (Higher bitrate
music plays fine).

I don't want to cross post
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63052) but I am trying
to figure out if SqueezeSlave has near-term potential to be updated to
play 32kbps CBR streams?

The rationale - more and more cheap, energy efficient boxes will be
running linux squeezecenter headless installations.  Local playback
would be nice, as the onboard audio chip is usually included free on the
motherboard.

SqueezeSlave seems the non-GUI way to go (instead of SoftSqueeze), but
SqueezeSlave currently does not get along nicely with NPR.  I don't have
the talent/skills to fix SqueezeSlave.

Any other people willing to take on the task to give SqueezeSlave the
smarts to deal with NPR at 32kbps CBR?

Thanks.

Re: [slim] Annouce: New Squeezeslave 0.8 release availabe on sourceforge

2009-03-25 Thread ralphy

Unfortunately squeezeslave doesn't support mono files in any format. 
Only 16bit 44.1KHz stereo streams, everything else needs to be
transcoded on SC.  Or as you have done, convert the file before added
it to the library.  Not sure but SC might be able to convert mono
streams to stereo using sox on the fly.

I've had several discussions on how the 44.1KHz limitation could be
removed, hadn't considered mono.

Thanks for the excellent problem report.  Sorry I don't have a better
solution for you right now.

Hi,

I'm using squeezeslave-0.8-25-lnx26-alsa-i686 on Ubuntu 710 and I spot
that it dies on certain wav files (log at the bottom). I've also tried
win32 version and it stops on same file, works ok on others

Same problem happens when I trigger play of speech announcements made
by Festival...

If I make stereo file with duplicating tracks, everything is ok

What are my options to avoid that crashes ?

Thanks in advance,

2009-03-12 Thread ralphy

Luke,

Squeezeslave doesn't currently support wma, you'll need to transcode
those files/streams.  There are details on the wiki, although I see it
hasn't been updated for 7.3

http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/WMA

I'm still working on creating a library from the rockbox wma decoder to
use with SS.  Some of the code used to recognize the stream type is
tightly wrapped with other features so it's taking longer than I'd
hoped and ffmpeg is just to hard to complex in my option for decoding
audio only.

I've been reviewing google code and it's probably what I'll end up
using.  I'll send you a PM once things are in place.

Thanks again.

Just bumping this thread for two reasons:

ralphy, if git isn't your thing, if you can make your subversion
repository public (google code isn't bad for free svn hosting) then I'd
be happy to maintain a git mirror using git-svn.

Also, regarding my problems with streams; it seems that the problem is
with WMA streams. This might be an OSX-specific problem; I have Windows
Media codecs installed using Flip4Mac but I'm not sure if these are
available to squeezeslave. Any ideas?

I think you're right.  Looking through the code, it only uses tcp 3483,
not even udp.  I haven't done a remote SS via open ports in a long
time.  Maybe something is broken.  I started using openvpn a couple
years ago and never looked back.  Let me know if you don't get it
working and I'll try it here as well.  Could also be something related
to running on osx.

Thanks for the SCM recommendation. I only recently moved from cvs to
subversion.  I'm not sure I'm ready to jump again, the that one was a
big enough learning curve.  That being said, I've hear lots of buzz
about git lately and have been at least a little curious.

Thanks Luke,

I placed the binary and plist file on sourceforge for people to try as
I don't have a Mac.  I've added your build changes to my repository and
will release a new patch in the next day or two.  I've also merged the
daemonize patch.

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=105169&package_id=176494

I know that people have squeezeslave working over the internet.  If
you'd like to troubleshoot it a bit let me know.  You need to have
these protocols/ports open;

TCP 9000,3483
UDP 3483

Unfortunately, I dont' have my repository available on the internet for
an automated build.  I've been investigating options but haven't made a
decision yet.  I'll certainly take you up on the offer once everything
is in place.

OK, building it with the static libs set explicitly seems to do the
trick; I gave it to a friend to try out and it ran without any errors.
He wasn't able to get it to connect to my server over the net though (I
believe I had the right ports open on my router) but this may be a
separate issue.

Feel free to give this a try:

If this actually works, I'd be happy to try and set up some kind of
automated build-process that builds a new binary from nightly pulls
from the source code repo.

Let's try building the binary by specifying the static libraries on

Try adding a -static like this, delete bin/squeezeslave and run make
again.

Code:


  ${CC} -o bin/squeezeslave $^ -static -L/opt/local/lib -lmad -lFLAC 
-lvorbisfile -lvorbis -logg 
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreAudio.framework/CoreAudio 
/System/Library/Frameworks/AudioToolbox.framework/AudioToolbox -lpthread
  



If the MacPorts that you needed to install included the static versions
of the libraries you should be golden.  If not, perhaps you can check
the ports to see there's also static versions available.

A static library filename looks like libmad.a whereas a shared version
would be called libmad.so

Type;

file bin/squeezeslave

and post the output if OSX has the file command.

Thanks,

2009-02-26 Thread Luke Redpath

I've spent a bit of time trying to compile this on OSX Leopard and I
finally had some success, so I thought I'd outline the steps I took if
anybody else would like to give it a try.

Most of my issues seemed to stem from the fact that my dependencies
were installed using MacPorts which puts headers/libs in /opt.

1. Install dependencies using MacPorts: flac, libvorbis, libmad

2. Tweak makefile.osx so it knows where to find everything it needs:

http://gist.github.com/71202

3. Patch the bundled portaudio lib to change one of the typedefs as it
conflicts with a typedef in one of the system libraries:


Code:


  cd lib/portaudio && perl -pi -e 's,uint32,pa_uint32,g' */*.c */*.h
  



You should now be good to go!


Code:


  $ make -f makefile.osx
  $ cp bin/squeezeslave /(opt|usr)/local/bin

The best way I've found is to shutdown squeezecenter and delete the
player settings block from server.prefs.  The forget this player and
reset player settings in SC still keep the settings for the initial
player type in server.prefs.

Each player block starts with a line that looks like this, with the
appropriate mac address for the player in question;

_client:00:00:00:00:00:02:

and ends with the following line, all indented using 2 spaces.

volume: 88

Delete all lines in between including the above two lines and startup
squeezecenter again.

Thanks. That was the issue. I had used a different MAC address, but it
turned out to be one I had used earlier while testing something else.
Using a never before used MAC address solved the issue. 

BTW, is there anyway to make SqueezeCenter clear its player information
cache? It would be nice to make SqueezeCenter forget about all my trial
squeezeslave instances.

There's no issue using -O as all it does is report the player type as
softsqueeze instead of squeezeslave when connecting to SC.

Did you create a new player by adding a never used before MAC address
by adding a -m00:00:00:00:00:03 to the command line after adding the
patch?  SC seems to remember the player type settings from the first
time it's created.

I'm working up a patch to submit for SC for the squeezeslave player
type to address this issue properly.   I'm currently trying to
reproduce an issue with replay gain not working when bandwidth limiting
is enabled, which I think will impact the patch, so it may be a while
before I have something for you to test.

Okay. I agree that as long as playback is fine, this is not really a
big deal. 

BTW, I also tried the ReplayGain change you suggested a few post before
and I still do not get ReplayGain as an option for the squeezeslave
player. Should I just use the -O option and not worry about this? Is
there any reason not to use -O. It would be really great to have
ReplayGain working.

Okay, the progress bar status is a know issue with squeezeslave and
since pause seems to be working correctly in 0.8-26, despite the
progress bar, I'll consider the issue a TODO item.  It's not an issue
with Squeezecenter.  

The portaudio libary doesn't return the correct stream position status
after using pause.  I applied a patch to the portaudio library for this
issue but it didn't solve it.  If you start squeezeslave with
-dslimaudio_output_debug and press pause and release it you'll see the
stream position values are not correctly reported, they reset to zero,
which is why the progress bar starts again.

For me, it's about the music, not the eyecandy. I still use the classic
web interface, so I don't even see a progress bar.  The default skin is
way too busy and slow for my liking, even though both my SC machine and
desktop are 2.8GHz P4s w/2GB memory running linux.

The pause problem seems to be different from what I thought I was
seeing. The player does start playing correctly at the paused point. It
is squeezecenter which does not correctly start the time slider at the
pause point. I am running SC Version: 7.3.2 - 24695. I have confirmed
this behaviour with my older squeezeslave 0.7.5.1 binary on linux as
well as the v0.8-25 win32 binary from sourceforge.

The stutter problem is not too bad, as I said consistently on a couple
of tracks, but nothing on most of my music. Since my squeezeslave sits
on a MythTV box, it needs to share sound and the alsa version does seem
to work better with my spdif output than aoss which I was using earlier.
I read KeyzerSuze's post, but not knowing anything about PortAudio, I am
not sure what to make of it. If the pause problem appears more
frequently as I listen to this setup, I will see if I want to delve
into it some more.

Thanks for posting the cli script, that could be useful as

2009-02-13 Thread jwmelvin

I just stumbled across a new clue. For me, squeezeslave 0.8-26 does not
actually start the song over, it just gives that appearance. The time
progress bar starts over but the song starts from where it was paused.

The 0.7.5.1 binary works as expected.

When I compile 0.8-12, I get the same behavior of restarting a song
after pause.  

One interesting thing is that if I click (in the Web interface) on a
position in the time slider, then subsequent play after pauses return
to that position rather than the start of the song. This is true in
both 0.8-12 and 0.8-26. Another clue is that when I play a track from
the beginning, pressing pause stops the track as expected then pressing
play restarts from the beginning. If I advance by clicking the slider,
when I pause the track it jumps back to where I clicked on the slider.

2009-02-13 Thread ralphy

I've sent you a PM regarding the binary.

This is not expected behaviour.  Unfortunately, I don't see the pause
problem.  I use the 0.8-25 win32 binary all day, every day at work and
pause it constantly.  The track starts exactly where I paused it.  I do
it so often that I've mapped the keyboard audio keys to run a cli script
to pause/unpause squeezeslave from my windows manager on Solaris.

This could be related to the version of SC I'm still running 7.2.2 -
r24134 at work, actually at home too.  What version of SC are you
running?  I'll install that release on my test system to see if I can
replicate the problem.

Would you download a v0.7.5.1 binary from sourceforge and see if pause
works with that release.  If it does, then please try 0.8-12 and report
back on your findings.  This will help me narrow down what change may be
causing the pause problem.

I too still have the stuttering problem using alsa.  I've gone back to
using oss emulation with alsa as it's rock solid.  Unfortunately, you
loose the ability to share the audio device that way.  Thankfully, this
hasn't been an issue for me.

I believe KeyzerSuze's observations as to the real cause of the
stuttering using alsa holds true.

Unfortunately, I've been unable to figure out why it's only an issue

Re: [slim] Annouce: New Squeezeslave 0.8 release availabe on sourceforge

2009-02-11 Thread SamG

I also recently compiled squeezeslave-0.8 on a Fedora x64 system. It is
working pretty well at the moment, though there are a couple of FLAC
files on which it consistently stutters. 

One interesting thing I noticed was that hitting the pause button on
the web interface and then hitting play starts the current track from
the beginning. I am pretty sure that version 0.7 did not exhibit this
behaviour. This occurs with or without the -O flag. SoftSqueeze on my
Windows PC does not do this. Rather it starts the track from the point
at which it was paused. Is this the expected behaviour or a bug?

I tried attaching the binary file in case you would like to post it on
SourceForge, but the gzipped tarball exceeded the forum file size
limit. Please let me know how I can upload this file. This was compiled
for v0.8-25 with alsa support, portaudio v19 and the daemonize patch
applied.

No. You'll need to apply the patch manually.  At the top level of the
squeezeslave directory; (ie. where the makefiles are) run this
command.

patch -p0 -i squeezeslave-0.8-r25-26.patch

you can try the daemonize patch as well.  I don't know if they can both
be applied.  Unfortunately, I need to refactor the daemonize patch to
allow the win32 version of squeezeslave to compile, which is why I
didn't include it in r26 release.  I'm actually in the process of
cleaning up squeezeslave.c as it's become hard to maintain with all the
resent feature enhancements, which is great!

Which version of Squeezecenter are you running?

I released 0.8-26 to help debug another issue.  -O has worked for a
long time, no need for 0.8-26 for this problem.

I suspect something else is happening with pause as --oldplayer only
changes the player type advertised to SC from squeezeslave to
softsqueeze.

Try adding -O -m00:00:00:00:00:02 when starting squeezeslave, this will
create a new softsqueeze player with default settings.

2009-02-11 Thread ralphy

Squeezeslave has supported replay gain since at least 0.7.5 if not
before.  Unfortunately the squeezeslave player type in squeezecenter
disables replayGainMode by default.

If your running SC on linux you can change the line in
server/Slim/Player/SqueezeSlave.pm from 

'replayGainMode' => 0,

to

'replayGainMode' => 1,

and restart SC.

I guess I should submit a bug for it.

I did a little testing and if I use the -O option (for oldplayer type)
then the setting page shows replaygain as an option. 

But then pause does not work, from the web interface or CLI.

Maybe this is something I need squeezeslave v8-26 for, to specify other

The build can't find the header files from libmad, flac, ogg and vorbis.
You need these packages installed before you'll be able to compile
successfully.  I don't know ubuntu linux, but there may be libary only
and development packages for each, if so, you'll need the development
ones as well.

By default, it listens to the local loopback adress (127.0.0.1).  On my
server where I use squeezeslave, I use the command line squeezeslave -s
-r3.  This means run in background mode and retry every 3 seconds if
squeezecenter is not running.

It doesn't hurt to be explicit about the IP address, but it isn't
really needed when running on the same machine as the server.

When you run squeezeslave, it appears as another player in the web
interface and on the controller (if you have one of those).

To listen to the same music on you PC as on your other player, you need
to synchronize them.  This can be done either through the web interface
or via the menus on the squeezebox.  

Have fun.

That was the target to the shortcut to Squeezeslave. My SqueezeCenter
is on the same computer as Squeezeslave and all my music files. I only
have one computer and one Squeezebox.

I may be missing a step. While the SqueexeCenter is running and music
is playing in the other room, I start Squeezeslave hoping to listen to
the same music on my computer. Please forgive my ignorance, this is
very new to me and I am more of a spreadsheet and AutoCAD guy.

I assume that's the target of a shortcut?

You have to tell Squeezeslave where the SqueezeCenter server is, unless
both are running on the same computer.  Something like:

"C:\Program Files\squeezeslave-0.8-12-win32\squeezeslave.exe"
192.168.1.2

Re: [slim] Annouce: New Squeezeslave 0.8 release availabe on sourceforge

2008-11-05 Thread JJZolx

Can I suggest something for Squeezeplay, perhaps as an option...

Can it try to emulate an SB2/3, or possibly a Receiver?  That is,
actually identify itself to SqueezeCenter as one of those players? 
Another possibility might be to identify itself as SoftSqueeze.

Squeezeplay isn't likely to receive any direct support in
SqueezeCenter, and being an unknown type of player imposes certain
restrictions.  One that I mentioned before is that it isn't possible to
enable Replay Gain in the settings.

You need to not put a space between "r" and "2".  Make it look like
this:
./squeezeslave -r2

Interestingly enough I dealt with this today when I was bringing my
server back up.  I really need to put this in a starup script!

Re: [slim] Annouce: New Squeezeslave 0.8 release availabe on sourceforge

2008-10-29 Thread ralphy

Yes, it's been that way since the option was added depending on your
getopt library.

SS thinks the 2 is the IP address and it's retrying using the default
of 5

Error connecting to 0.0.0.2:3483
Sleeping for 5 s. ^

It's related to the problem I've run into using optional arguments with
getopt.  I've changed this in my source tree to required, so in the next
release -r without an argument aborts with an error.

As a work around replace '-r 2' with --retry without any value for now
or undefine GETOPT_SUPPORTS_OPTIONAL in the makefile.

I have an alsa version for linux partially working, plays mp3 streams
fine but nothing else.  I think it's related to buffering, but haven't
nailed it down yet.

I can run them with any time but it never succeeds to re-connect to

Is this supposed to work or am I doing something wrong ?

I dunno.  I've never seen a DOS window running a service using srvany.

With 0.7 it seemed like the output device was required, although I
think the Help said it would default to 0.  With 0.8 I found that it
could be left off and the default works fine.

Don't pass the command-line arguments in the same registry string as
the application.  Here's the whole procedure:

Start by running instsrv.exe to create the Windows service and point it
to srvany.exe.  This creates a new registry key at

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Service\Squeezeslave

with the string value 'ImagePath' of (on my system)

C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\srvany.exe

Under the Squeezeslave key, create another key (folder) called
'Parameters'.  Under Parameters create two string values, 'Application'
and 'AppParameters', with respective values of

C:Program Files\Squeezeslave\squeezeslave.exe

and

--signal --retry --mac 00:00:00:00:0f 192.168.9.11

Adjust the mac address and the ip address of your server to suit your
tastes.

I was going to fix the cli parsing for this release as it's always
bugged me as well, but figured it would break too many "run scripts"
that people were using.

I've come across several verions of glib in which the optional
parameters to cli options, like that used for the -r/--retry option
which didn't work at all.  Having --retry NOT need a value and -r
require one was the best compromise for a work around.

I didn't know that I had to do that - I assumed it would retry by default (or 
if not, that the process would end).

I tried -r, but it asked for a value, so I then tried --retry 5 and it then 
said "Error no such host: 5".  It seems that --retry doesn't look for a param, 
but -r requires a param.

-r 5 works.

Did you add the -r/--retry option?  The help text is a little confusing
- I don't believe it retries by default.  It won't reconnect without
it.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to me why retrying isn't the default
behavior if you're trying to emulate a Squeezebox, which will keep
retrying to connect to a local server.

I must have miscounted - I thought the help screen showed 5 sets of hex
digits.  I'll have to try again.

As you can tell, I don't deal with MACs much :-).

I just meant that I'd tested 0.8-12 with SC versions in that range.

Yes, version 0.7.5.1 also works with all these versions and 6.3 as
well. Although I haven't used 6.3 in a while.  Versions of squeezeslave
older than that didn't work the SC 7.x onwards.

It's great to hear that SS works with 7.3 as well, I'll update the
annoucement post.

I'm trying to use the -m option to set a different MAC.  I receive an
error "Cannot parse mac address 00:00:00:00:02".

Any ideas on how to get around this?

I'm using the Windows version 0.8-12.

Thanks!

Try closing your SqueezeCenter browser window, clear all browser cache,
open a new SC browser window and try adding tracks again.  I've never
seen this problem with 7.2.1 and squeezeslave.

-Thank you!-
On my system, the earlier w32 version was essentially unusable (jumped
tracks, froze) - but this one works just fine.
One very minor issue: when I upgraded to 7.2.1 this AM, I discovered
that the web interface was unable to add tracks with ss2 (the cover
icon at the top of the right-hand panel would, just jump a tiny bit
when I clicked "add track" in the left panel. Restarting ss2 did not
help, but -synchronizing- it with a hardware player, adding a track,
worked fine - and it continued to work fine even after the
synchronization was removed.

Re: [slim] Annouce: New Squeezeslave 0.8 release availabe on sourceforge

2008-10-24 Thread bobkoure

BTW, here's an easy way to use ss2 from the GUI
1)  move or copy the files into a folder where you plan to keep them (I
used c:\program files\squeezeslave2, but you can use whatever you like)
2)  use windows explorer to navigate to that directory (if you're not
there already from the above)
3)  right-click (and hold) squeezeslave.exe, and drag to white space in
that folder. When asked, select "create shortcuts here" - which will
create a link called "shortcut to squeezeslave2.exe"
4)  right-click that new link and select "properties"
5)  in the "shortcut" tab:
5a) find the "target" edit box. the path so squeezeslave2 will already
be there. Append a space, plus the name of you SqueezeCenter server
(plus any other command options you might want)
5b) find the "run" drop-down box - change to "minimized"
6)  optional: in the "general" tab
6a) change the name
6b) change the icon (the system has an OK note+speaker icon - but
choose whatever suits your fancy)
7)  click "OK" to close the properties box
8)  right-click (and hold) your new shortcut - drag to wherever you
like (start menu, desktop, quickstart bar), and select "copy" when
asked (so there's always the original shortcut to copy somewhere else)

That's it (and it takes a -lot- longer to write up than it takes to
actually do it).
You can now click the shortcut icon to start squeezeslave2, which will
run minimized, so it's just an icon on the tray. You can close ss2 by
right-clicking the icon in the tray (not the shortcut icon you used to
start ss2) and pick "close".

IMHO this is a bit more convenient than running as service for a
desktop machine that you're going to be sitting at anyway. Logging off
closes ss2.
Oh - and you can drag that icon into your startup menu item if you want
ss2 to start when you login.

Hope this helps someone. My guess is that anyone using ss2, and so
comfortable with the command line, already knows this stuff, but maybe
not...

Re: [slim] Annouce: New Squeezeslave 0.8 release availabe on sourceforge

2008-10-24 Thread ralphy

I currently don't have access to a Mac to build the OSX version.  I've
been looking at the hack to allow you to run OSX under vmware, but I
have a few more updates planned for squeezeslave first.  I'm hoping
someone who has one will step up and create a binary.  The source is
availabe on sourceforge so no need for subversion.

I'm planning to integrate the portaudio v19 patch from KeyzerSuze as a
build option for the linux 2.6 binary.  There have been mixed success
reports with it, so getting a 32bit linux binary available for people
to test should help iron out the bugs.

I'd also like to remove the 44.1KHz only stream rate limitation in the
near future as well.

As for --volume;

off - Ignore all volume changes.  Use must use OS mixer application to
change volume.
on  - Use the mixer of the output device when changing volume.
sw  - Use internal volume change routines, which should handle replay
gain.

I haven't tested the replay gain functionality, as I don't use it. 
It's been in the code for a long time, it's not something I added.

Re: [slim] Annouce: New Squeezeslave 0.8 release availabe on sourceforge

2008-10-23 Thread JJZolx

Just downloaded 0.8 and have it running fine on Windows XP as a service.
Seems less temperamental about command line switches, whereas the
previous version had some issues.  Which is nice.

Two questions regarding the --volume option.  In the Help, there's
this:


Code:

-v, --volume :   Enables/disables volume changes done by
  SqueezeCenter during its operation, such as when
  changing the volume through the web interface or
  when applying replay gain.  Defaults to sw.
  on:  volume changes performed on device.
  sw:  volume changes performed in software.
  off: volume changes ignored.
  



What's the difference between device and software?  The 'device'
(Squeezeslave) is a software one.

Also, I posted a while back that with a Squeezeslave player, I don't
see any Replay Gain options in the Audio settings.  Are they supposed
to be present?

But it's lacking a usable OSX version.
As is this one :-(
Maybe somebody can help out (I am pretty clueless on Mac programming,
yet)
