You will need  SQL Playlist, Dynamic Playlist and Custom Skip plugin.

With Custom Skip you create a new filter set and add a filter item of
the type "Recently added artists", use the "Songs between" parameter to
to make it skips songs from the same artist if one has been played
during the last 30 tracks.
With SQL Playlist you create a playlist for all tracks within the
"Random" genre using the "Advanced" playlist type and select the filter
you created above in the "Custom Skip filter" parameter of the playlist.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Whitebear Media Server

2009-05-10 Thread sander

I'm curious to see how it works and if I can get it to work with my old
wmls11b, but I'll have to wait for a couple of weeks as I run my main
Squeezecenter under Linux, so I have to try it out somewhere else.

In the interim though, does this mean I get Squeezebox style menus from
any UPNP device? And I know Logitech put in some limitations to
non-Logitech hardware do you have all the functionality?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00

2009-05-10 Thread bpa

The 1 sec problem is due to using -w and redirecting stdout and
wavin2cmd cannot write a WAV header to redirected output.

Can you try the following command but it assume there is a copy of
lame.exe in the same directory as wavin2cmd.exe.

wavin2cmd -o wavin:0 | lame -x -r - capture.mp3

This should create an mp3 file with captured audio.   If you get static
then remove the "-x" as the needs for "-x" depends on the version of
lame you have installed.  I think 3.96 you need -x and 3.98 or higher
you do not.

Do you have any chance to reset the router?
Do you have no internet connection at all for this network or do you
connect through some other device?
Actually you are not the first one to experience this but the first
times I tried to investigate into it I did so with a standalone network
that did not have a connection to the internet at all which worked fine
so I wasn't able to reproduce it. So I know that as long as your network
doesn't THINK (so to say) it could connect to the internet it will
work.

No, that's not misleading. I'm not completely sure it does shut down
the app after 10s, that's just the limit Apple publishes. But you have
to add another 6s until the app starts at all and maybe they just allow
some tolerance over the spec until really shutting the app down.

Looks like I've got a working fix, will try to get it out ASAP but I
don't submit anything without prior beta testing anymore (bad
experience, there are always these nasty side effects you don't expect)
so I assume it will be at least two weeks (counting 1 week approval time
on Apple's side).
Sorry :-(

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] 7.3 and XM radio

2009-05-10 Thread wharfrat

raglencross:

The artist /track data comes from two sources:
1. In the now playing window /controller screen - this comes from the
feed metadata. I've seen this stop occasionally, but I can only
attribute this to XM.
2. Now playing data for all channels - comes from a 60 second poll
/refresh while any station is playing. There's a bug in 3.0 that keeps
this data around after the poll has stopped.

Not sure the channels are getting crossed, though.

A while back another user had this same 1sec problem - offhand I can't
remember the solution. It'll mean trawling through old posts.

Can you confirm that the correct source (i.e. *not* the web cam mic)

Thanks so much for investigating this issue so quickly.
I don't have an intermittent internet connection, the modem is not
connected at all. However, i do notice that the WAN settings from an old
connection are still there - I don't know if this makes a difference but
the config settings won't let me delete this information.

I've timed the matter more accurately now and it is 22 seconds after I
tap the iPeng icon that it returns to the main iPod menu. So actually,
quite a lot greater than 10 secs - sorry if I misled you before.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00

2009-05-10 Thread dazbarber

Hi,

I have tried your suggestion  and I have a bit of a strange result.
If I try "wavin2cmd.exe -w -o wavin:0 > audiocapture.wav" I get a
recording of what I expect (my soundcard's what-u-hear output) but, no
matter how long I leave it recording or how large the file size, it
plays back as a 1 second recording!

I tried to use my soundcard's name using the correct switch but I got
silence (and a 1 second recording again - no matter what the file
size).
I'm assuming that the recording is being corrupted for the file to be
large but only 1 second long?

I'm still getting the webcam microphone output through my squeezebox
though.  How can this be?  I'm very confused now!

Thanks,

Daz

It's nothing to do with the config settings.
The problem is indeed the missing internet connection. Actually, it's
only if it's an INTERMITTENTLY missing internet connection.

I've been able to reproduce it and the problem is as follows:
iPeng uses an iPhone function to determine whether SqueezeNetwork is
reachable on startup. This function just returns the network state.
Now the problem is, that when your router contains routing information
for an internet route but that one is not available, this function hangs
until it runs into a timeout after one minute.
Now iPhoneOS on the other hand shuts down iPeng if it doesn't react for
more than 10s. IMHO this is a really bad design in iPhoneOS that a
simple status query hangs for a minute, but what can I do?
I'll do a rewrite moving this to a separate thread, but until that
there's little I can do other than to recommend to either use a network
that is completely separated from internet access or to provide internet
access.
Or to use a router that actually updates it's routing information to
return correct values, which actually would be the REAL fix for such a
situation, but obviously most routers act like this.

Well, most of those streams are 128kbps MP3. Spotify uses Ogg Vorbis q5
(vbr, around 160kbps) which is significantly better, and should be
pretty transparent for anyone. I do use only FLAC for my local files,
but I can't really complain about the sound quality on spotify.(a few
tracks seem to have a poor quality, but since I don't own the CD I can't
say if it comes from spotify or not...)

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)

2009-05-10 Thread SadGamerGeek

I tried playing "The Archers" omnibus this morning, and it was giving me
real problems using the previous version of BBCiPlayer running on 7.3.2
(to SB3's) . It initially played for a few minutes before stopping, but
then failed to play at all, with what appeared to be license related
errors in the log:


Code:

[09-05-10 12:10:59.2054] Slim::Formats::RemoteStream::open (46) Error: 
Couldn't find server or port in url: 
[/iplayer/licence/error.shtml?statuscode=404]
  [09-05-10 12:10:59.2060] Slim::Player::Song::open (374) Warning: stream 
failed to open 
[iplayer://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/3/auth/iplayer_streaming_http_mp4/b00k7pyh].
  




Anyway, I've upgraded to the most recent 7.4 beta (Windows), and
installed the BBCiPlayer .5 Beta as described.

I'm happy to report it has given me a massive improvement. I've just
finished playing The Archers omnibus. It played almost to the end
without problems, but did stop unexpectedly at around one hour & five
minutes in (can't find a log error for that). I restarted and fast
forwarded to that point and it played the last bit (programme is 75
minutes long) without issue.

So, definitely a big improvement!

One little thing, I thought (though I may be wrong) that my
MusicInfoSCR screen used to show the total time of such listen again
programmes. I noticed that for the show I've just listened to, it was
always just showing "0:00"...

Thanks for your hard work with this!

Thanks for the feedback!

1) I'll fix that in the next version
2) Looking into it. Categories are handled a bit different than the
other "browser modes", but shouldn't be too hard to implement.
3) You know you can just start typing on the keyboard to search, right?
This is currently not possible on keyboardless devices, but most people
still have the G1. I'll add a search menu to the browser screens soon.
