Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC vs BBCiPlayer plugins
I believe a QNAP should be able to play AAC streams provided 1. The faad is built using the fixed point option 2. the AAC streams are played as PCM and not transcoded into MP3 or FLAC I believe The Sheevaplug processor has no floating point which will mean that any transcoding into MP3 or Flac could be a significant load and may not deliver the performance you expect (e.g. may be able to handle one player but not multiple) faad, flac and lame should be benchmarked to see whether they can do encoding/decoding in realtime. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69588 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Use one graphic for each non-current day (you can update the non-current

But thats not possible with the current data-feed (the only free one

I get a feed for the current condition with one icon + temp.
I get a forecast feed (including the current day and the next two) with
high/low-temp + TWO icons.
As I don't know which of these two icons is better ('icon' or
'skyicon'), I just render them both.
So as much as I'd like to just show one icon, from my point I'm just
not able to do so ?
Also 'merging' the forecast of the current day (high/low-temp) with the
big-icon would result in a loss of information. Where should I put the
(two) icons of the current-day forecast?
Just omitting both icons wouldn't be good as well I really want to know
how the current day will develop ?
So actually I'm quite happy with the distribution:
*BIG*: current situation - Big Icon + Temp + Humidity + Date + Time
*3x SMALL*: forecast (current day, day + 1, day +2) with high/low temp
and two possible icons.
With your suggestions I could change it to:
*BIG*: current situation + forecast: Current Temp, Forecast Low/High
Temp, Forecast Icons (two toggling), current date, current time.
Icon of current Condition would be omitted.
*3x SMALL*: forcast (day+1, day+2, day+3) with high/low temp and two
possible icons (toggling).
What do others think ?
Should we merge the forecast of the current day into the 'big' area ?

It depends on what you mean with least recently played. If you mean Tracks that haven't been played at all recently a custom SQL statement together with SQL Playlist + Dynamic Playlist will do it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iTunesUpdater does not find track

However, my attempts to convert LIRC configuration is without success and downloading the files via ssh farily cumbersome when the Duet sleeps, then wake-ups but defers connecting etc. This is likely to be a very (very) popular application if your able to provide a version that: reads LIRC configuration files and is downloadable via the app installer. I'm not sure it's worth the time and effort to build a parser for the SqueezeIRData.txt file that spits out syntax errors. Instead, just have the solution focus on pulling remote codes from popular sources such as Lirc. ... That's my five cents towards providing feedback on what is an excellent Duet application. I like Erland's suggestion of using Squeezecenter w/IR blaster etc that can learn remote codes then pass them onto your Duet app. Given the number of remotes on the market it's a good idea. Martin I agree. I shouldn't really have had to write this applet but I love a challenge ;) The next work-in-progress version can read LIRC natively and uses xml for configuration (easier to understand than the current textfile but a bit wordier). I'm told that irBlaster stores its learnt commands in LIRC format then it should work with that too but I haven't got that far yet. I will eventually get the applet into a repo and have it downloadable as an app but it will still require some manual intervention as you will have to add the lirc files and map the ir codes to the keys of your choice. I would ideally like to be able to do all of the config via an SC plugin but as SC SqueezePlay don't use the same scripting language I would have to learn yet another programming language.

Still think it is odd that it (is this the plugin or SC itself?) considers these the same artist, tag issues like this are easier to track if you simply see the artist popping up twice in the list. Anyway, glad it's fixed. I believe that the Squeezebox Server scanner strips out punctuation from artist name tags to create a version of the name used for searching and uniqueness matching, rather than the artist name. So where the artist name differs only in diacritic characters or punctuation, these names are seen as the same, an one version of the artist name is taken as the name to report in the application. I think it's the first version of the artist name tag that is scanned that is used in the music library (and each time you rescan the library, you could get a different result as it could pick a different order to process files). You cannot correct tags and scan for new/changed files - the only way to fix it is the painfull process of finding the difference in tags, fix, and then do a full clean+rescan. You may want to add your feelings to bug 10324 (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10324) and vote, or create a new bug (this bug was about diacritics, but the same seems to apply to punctuation too).

I think the line 131 error is not significant as it emanates from the Radiofeeds App and the BBC App - neither of which are related to the BBCiPlayer plugin.

The BBCiPlayer plugin is a 3rd party plugin and not an App. The BBCiPlayer problem is affecting many QNAP users who are using SSOTS so it is not clear where the problem is originating. Disabling AAC in BBCiPlayer settings should result in MP3 being sent directly to play and so avoid transcoding - yet nothing happens which is strange.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Solved: hibernation problem on the DNS-323
A known problem of running SBS on a DNS-323 is that the disk never hibernate. Some time ago I had presented in this post (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=386614postcount=110) a simple solution to make the server start/stop automatically when a client connects to it. This solution involving the SvrPowerControlPlugin (see http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521) and a simple script listening for a connection on the port used by SBS basically worked and the script was largely improved by Sydney on his blog (http://bfg100k.blogspot.com/2009/05/on-demand-startstop-squeezecenter.html) but it also had a drawback: when you try to connect a squeezebox to a sleeping server using this technique, you have to wait about 2min for the server to be up before you can hear music. This is a trade-off to save energy and the lifetime of your hard-disk, but it is not really comfortable. After having posted my technique I was busy on other things and hadn't looked again at this until shortly when I tried different approaches to get the disk sleep without this drawback. The first thing I tried was to move the ffp plugins to an USB stick. There are several ready to use scripts on the internet to do that easily. I used this one (http://forum.dsmg600.info/t3203-setup.sh-script-%28and-documenntation%29-mount-root.html) as well as the additional explanations there: (http://bfg100k.blogspot.com/2008/11/upgrading-ffp-05-and-moving-it-to-usb.html). Moving ffp to an USB stick doesn't solve the hibernation problem with Squeezebox Server, because the swap file is still on the disk. But it makes ffp self contained on the stick (you can remove the stick to boot without it), and allows the disk to stay down until you really need it. The next thing I tried was to move the swap file to the USB stick. There are good instructions there (http://forum.dsmg600.info/viewtopic.php?id=3400) explaining how to do it. The result was disappointing: it removed the disk accesses that prevented the hibernation, but the read rate of the USB stick was so slow that everything ran at a felt pace of 10% the original speed of the system. Maybe the problem is that I used the cheapest 2Gb stick I could find, but I didn't want to invest more, since it is quite probable that the stick wouldn't last very long with the constant write operations caused by the swap. So I gave up that idea. I kept ffp on the USB stick but with a swap on the disk. I finally looked a bit deeper in my original idea of waiting for client activity to start the full server and ran some tests to find a way to reduce this 2min waiting time before the server is up. My idea was that instead of running a small program starting the full SBS when clients connect, I could start at least a part of SBS up to a point that doesn't cause swap activities. During these tests, I found out that the real problem that made the disk wake up are the constant communication between SBS and MySQL (apparently 1 query every 30s). That's how I came to the following solution: - Instead a starting a dummy program listening on the port 3483 and starting SBS when a connection is detected, I start SBS until a point where it is at 95% initialized, but the network activity hasn't started yet. Then I freeze the execution at that point until a connection is detected on port 3483 (like with the old technique). SBS in this frozen status doesn't prevent the disk to swap. A part of goes to the swap, because it is too big to fit in memory, but since it sleeps, it is never read back from the swap before a connection is detected. Once a connection is detected, the initialiation of SBS is resumed and at the end the server is exactly in the same state as if it had been started normally. The difference between this approach and the old technique is that instead of having to wait 2min for the who server to come up, you only need to wait a couple of seconds for the last 5% of the initialization to start the network activity. Later, when all clients are idle, the SvrPowerControl plugin is used to connect all clients to MySqueezeBox.com and restart the server which comes back in this sleeping state initialized at 95% until a client connects again. The drawback of this technique is that it requires a small change in the code of SBS, but the change is so minimal that it can be done by anybody. Here is the procedure to follow: 1)# Prerequesites My starting point is FFP 0.5 and SBS 7.4.1 installed from the fonz packages (http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/) on an USB stick. I use the option of the USB script rebooting off the USB stick, since it is supposed to save more RAM (see explanation under http://forum.dsmg600.info/t3203-setup.sh-script-%28and-documenntation%29-mount-root.html). The firmware of my DNS323 is 1.05. I am pretty sure that the same technique would work even if ffp is not installed on an USB stick, but I didn't test. 2)# Install the SrvrPowerControl plugin - Telnet your DNS323
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] NPR Plugin - Not working
The NPR Web site tells listeners to write to podca...@npr.org to ask them to add your favorite podcast. I'm not hopeful this will have short-term consequences, but it can't hurt to voice our support for All Things Considered and other programs unavailable as podcasts. As more devices get Internet connectivity and browsers, their choice to stream ATC on the Web site but withhold it from a podcast becomes awfully arbitrary, doesn't it? So for near-term, is there any work-around to get All Things Considered back where it belongs -- on my stereo? ;) -- boikej boikej's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33577 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70836 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Music Information Screen overlapping text
Hi, Love this plugin, but I often have this problem. It was made even worse tonight by my addition of a new Boom to the family. When I was initially started configuring MusicInfoScrn tonight, I noticed there were two black fields/displays for both Screensaver and Screensaver when powered off. The secondary black field for each showed big titles or time. Now, they've overlapped with the initial black field/display, and I can't remove the big text from either screensaver! This has happened in the past with both my SB3 and Transporter, I cannot remember how to fix. +---+ |Filename: BoomDisplay.JPG | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=8608| +---+ -- SamS SamS's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9261 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70864 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] NPR Plugin - Not working
I contacted NPR and they responded that that will correct the problem. Strangely enough, thin.npr.org still shows the full graphics version but now the SB plugin has started working again! I am not sure how this plugin is implemented but I like the fact that individual segments in ATC and other programs can be played and there is also that Play All Items option. Regarding podcasts, as we discussed at http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70611 both SB and the audio source/server should support pausing/resuming, seeking and proper playlist management, that will be great. Until then, plugins like these which appear to screen scrape the text-only interface are a godsend! -- vikasa vikasa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30879 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70836 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Question on Trackstat and iTunes integration
jmpage2;480387 Wrote: Is there any way for me to get all of my track ratings out of my iTunes library and imported into Trackstat/Squeeze? Is there any way to reimport any changes I might make on the Squeeze side back into my iTunes database? If the answer to this is yes then how are conflicts resolved (I rated a track three stars in iTunes but rated it two stars in Trackstat)? Yes it's possible with some limitations. Take a look at this page: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Setup_support_for_ratings (Section Configuring iTunes as the rating storage should be most interesting) Unfortunately, two way synchronization gets pretty complex when neither iTunes nor Squeezebox Server natively supports synchronization with other applications. If the above page doesn't solve all your problems, let's continue any further discussion regarding this in the 3rd party plugins section. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68101 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
