Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Scrobbling too many times
lastfm should reject simultaneous scrobbles too, even if the player is sending them incorrectly.

According to the DLNA specification, the single default "must support" audio format is 16 bit LPCM. All other formats like MP3, FLAC, or whatever, are optional. According to the DLNA specification, the server must "offer" all media formats that it can support (and currently Whitebear offers LPCM, MP3, FLAC, WAV, and native formats). And the player must select from the offerred list the one it chooses to download. -- That is the theory. -- Now in practice, I discovered that many players are lazy and just choose the first offerred format, namely the LPCM "must offer" format. => So I guess your players are asking Whitebear for LPCM. => Which means that Whitebear must transcode the MP3 files to LPCM. => Which means that you need Lame.exe installed. (In my opinion, this is a complete waste of bandwidth and CPU cycles, but that is just the way DLNA specification works...) csimon;575328 Wrote: > Songs stop after a while on their own.

Well, given the above, it is not really weird at all. I guess that what is happening is that the Lame transcoder may be encountering something in your MP3 files that it does not like, and this causes Lame to terminate at that point. => Perhaps you can give me a link to one of your MP3 files so I can test and confirm this diagnosis?

Seek is not yet supported when playing to non native players. It is a question of programming the various command line switches for the transcoders. (This is work-in-progress.) But seek DOES work 1) when you Play To a Squeeze player, and 2) when the player does its own local buffering (as for example WMP12 does). csimon;575328 Wrote: > foobar2000: Can select an item to play on the renderer but it doesn't > start.

I don't have any Squeezebox hardware (this is why I'm so interested in the UPnP capability!), but I can browse the menus via the Squeeze web interface and the Artist menu is correctly populated. In fact, it's correctly populated in all the Control Points I've tried (which have been able to discover the server...) it was only Cidero that didn't do it. Perhaps it just timed out or something.

This would prove what's happening I guess. Perhaps the easiest way would be to NOT offer LPCM if the respective transcoder (in this case Lame.exe) were not there.

Sounds like you need to goto Settings/Advanced/Patch Installer and
re-apply the patch. Custom Clock VU meters are only active when the
screen saver is active, so if you like VU meters also in default mode I
guessing you have used a patch installed through "Patch Installer"
applet. Could this be the issue ?

I would suggest that you don't do any integration specifically with
Custom Browse plugin at the moment, the reason is that at the moment I
think it's probably going to be replaced with something else during the
next 6-12 months. Anyone that wants more information about the
replacement can take a look at the following thread to get a feeling
what I'm talking about:
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80910
If you like to do an integration soon, you could do an integration with
the JSON protocol for menus which SqueezePlay uses, if you do this it
will work with current Custom Browse, the replacement, and also with
all other third party plugins supported on the Touch/Radio/Controller.

I got the same problem, a SBS restart or Touch/Radio/Controller restart
usually solves it. I'm not sure if it's related to Custom Clock or SDT.

The Custom Clock version has never had the function buttons, the
function buttons only exists if you use the standard Now Playing screen
together with the patch installed through Patch Installer that replaces

It shouldn't but I haven't tried it with the new firmware yet so there
