Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz drc/eq plugin working
Vanderham, where did you get "the free software "Align" for measurement and processing" ? Also, in your original post you offered (if there was sufficient interest) to "make a more detailed instruction for the community". Were these instructions for the procedure used in your video ? If so, then I'm very interested. -- Wirrunna A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

Vanderham thank you. It works and if I do as you suggested and use IE8 it displays the graph. InguzDSP.exe appears using an occasional 3% of a quad core Intel Q9450 in the Windows task manager (when I used it ages ago on an AMD3000 single core chip InguzDSP.exe used about 20% of the cpu). Thank you for the plugin.pm and the help.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
At my own peril, I spent some time this afternoon googling the Linux cron job protocol. I think I understand what it supposed to do but I need to do more research/investigation before having the confidence to try it. Conceptually, it seems like it is possible to execute a command something like this: "30 0 * * 2-0 pm-suspend" to handle leaving the server on for just Monday AM, although I'm not sure the 2-0 is correct to denote a Tuesday through Sunday sequence, let alone the rest of the text. I assume that your excellent plug in somehow puts a friendly face on the chron job procedure, which is a real benefit for folks like me. Thus far, my server is automatically waking from the suspend state (S3) by a Squeezebox server alarm. I will see what happens when the RTC BIOS command change I made today kicks in in the morning. That might be a work-around. I understand the concept of triggering a "silent alarm" for the overnight session when I want the server to remain on. Is it necessary to have one of my Squeezebox players turned on for that to work? Or, is there a way to execute the alarm without having at least one player on? (I try to turn them off at night too.) Perhaps the Squeezebox server could be faked out by triggering some other event to keep itself awake to allow time for the other tasks to commence. Of course, this assumes that I can fiddle with the settings and keep my server in a low power mode overnight but still aware enough to turn itself back on. The suspend S3 mode only consumes 1.4 watts according to my Kill-A-Watt, which is great. Oddly, when the server is in the S3 mode, the power switch will not turn it back on. I have to remove the power cable and plug it back in to bring the server to life. However, when I used your plug in last night to do a total shutdown (before I adjusted the BIOS to shutdown to the S3 mode), the server shut down at the correct time, did not wake up at the designated alarm time but quickly turned on with a press of the power button.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
@ctweedle: I'm presently in an undisclosed remote location with nothing more than an iPad so I can't go into any depth here. But epoch1970 has already gone into some detail and his ideas are always good ones. All I would add, for the moment, is that my experience has been the same as epoch's: with Linux, some machines will wake from a soft-off shutdown when the rtc has been so programmed. Contrast this with windows, which has no such ability. You just have to experiment and see if your hardware will play nice. Also, in terms of making your server stay awake overnight one day of the week, again, I think the approach suggested by epoch1970 should work for you. You could create a "silent" alarm for midnight (or whenever) for the day of the week in question. SrvrPowerCtrl should then see to it that the server gets woken up for that alarm. You could then have what is known in the Linux realm as a "cron job" that would set a SrvrPowerCtrl block in order to keep the server awake. A second cron job run at 5:00 am the next morning (or whenever) could clear the block so the server could sleep again. If you're new to Linux, the syntax of the crontab file where these cron jobs are scheduled can seem pretty arcane. Once I'm back at a computer where I can do more than two-fingered typing, I'll create some examples for you and post them here. ..or give it a try yourself. You can study up on cron job scheduling by googling "man crontab". The block and unblock commands you'll want to schedule via cron are: touch /var/lock/spc-block ..and: rm /var/lock/spc-block Good luck! -- gharris999 gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Whitebear Media Server v2.1 Updated
Hi, So I have installed the new version. Controlling the Squeezebox through WMP12 works provided that the file is in Whitebear's DLNA library (whether it is on the same machine as SBS or the laptop with WMP12), it works if the file is physically on the server machine, both for MP3 and FLAC. It doesn't work at all if the file is not on the server, but is physically located on the laptop. I *think* this was the same situation as with the previous version. It works neither with MP3 not FLAC. Here are some log extracts. Let me know, if I can get something more specific from the logs by switching on a different subset of things to log. I have attached the White Bear log as a file. And below is what SBS outputs when I double click on a file local to the laptop in the Play To controller in WMP12. The file appears in the SBS playlist as it should, it just doesn't play. The Squeezebox screen says "connecting" and then "stopped" Code: [11-05-08 21:44:28.9664] Slim::Schema::RemoteTrack::setAttributes (234) title: 1.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: (not so) Sirius Plugin
I got my first chance to look at this today and here's what I see. Sirius Canada users will see the new channel numbers after restarting Squeezebox Server. US users will see incorrect channel numbers, though most channels will still work. US users will not see any new channels which were added such as ESPN Xtra. I think at this point I'm going to try and make the plugin use a combination of the new player for channel listings and such and the old player for the actual streams. This is all a house of cards though at this point and once the old player disappears, I'm out of luck. If I were to venture a guess I'd say that at some point the official plugin will switch to using the the MP3 based streams that the Sirius mobile app uses. I can probably work with that to allow multi-player streaming and such (if that's still a problem), but I think ultimately the losers are going to be those with the old free streaming accounts who are confined to using the web based player.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
I think there is no weekly programming for EOD, but perhaps you could
use a "blocker" that would inhibit the action until it is removed. You
can set/remove blockers by the command-line or assigning such lines to
a custom command, which would give you menu items to simply click on
the web interface and on the players.
The most recent version of the plugin can also look at the computer's
CPU load, network activity to define if it is the right time to
shutdown. So if you had a remote computer wake the server through the
network, wait a bit and start a network backup transfer, the plugin
might recognize that and refrain from sleeping the machine until the
network transfer is over and files compressed, even if SBS is
completely idle. You'd have to set the appropriate thresholds in the
plugin by trail and error to have this work properly.
Your other question depends on your hardware. Your computer is likely
to support programmed wake-up by the time of day ("ACPI wake"). It is
very likely to support wake-up from network ("wake-on-lan", aka WOL) if
your machine is wired to the router.
What you have to discover by yourself is from which modes these actions
can have an effect. Usually wake-up by ACPI or WOL will work even from
soft-off. However I've had machines which would not WOL from soft-off
and only from suspend. Or a funny one that would hang at shutdown when
a wake-up date was programmedÂ…
You should try the various energy saving states on the computer, and
see if the machine wakes up from lan correctly when you activate a
player (for example. Or use your router's web interface to send wol
packets, or the command-line on another computer).
Same goes with the ACPI wake feature: set a date in the future in the
internal clock, and see if the machine revives itself from suspend,
hibernate, soft-off. I won't give you the specific 'date' command-line
to set the alarm time in the computer 10 minutes in the future but this
page might help (see section "Manually test wakealarm")
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ACPI_Wakeup
What I have seen on the various machines I have put under power
management is the following:
- some recent machines will draw as little as 1W from soft-off, but
then WOL is not possible. ACPI alarm should be possible (?)
Lack of WOL is generally bad because you can't wake the server from the
SB players.
- wake from suspend will take around 10 seconds from sleep to music
playing on your SB. That's good. Wake from hibernate will take up to
minutes. Wake from soft off will take about the same time as wake from
hibernate. Waiting 2 minutes in front of the SB player is a very, very
long time.
- in suspend, hibernate and regular soft-off mode (not the special 1W
off mode), the computer will draw the same power. Yes, when "off" I've
had machines drawing 13W. 0 W only then the cord was pulled (and then
you drain the internal lithium battery used to maintain BIOS
settings.)
So suspend is the best mode for serving SB players.
- when waking from hibernate and soft-off mode, you may come across
the regular hard drive maintenance time. According to the size and
filesystem on the drive(s), checking may delay effective start for tens
of minutes.
That will never happen if you choose to suspend rather than hibernate
or go soft-off.
In short, I don't see the gain in using any other mode than suspend.
Also:
- make sure your lithium battery is not depleted, or the time of day
in the BIOS might go back to 2001 or something if the computer loses
power, making a programmed ACPI wake ineffective.
- choose to store the system time as UTC in the OS and in the BIOS.
System date stored local time is a Windows complication. If the
computer does not boot windows, use UTC in the BIOS (at OS level Linux
does that by default normally, so you just have to worry about a
possible BIOS setting.)
Using UTC allows to handle better DST changes. Mixing UTC and local
time will create a mess with the OS defining a date for ACPI wake and
the BIOS rejecting it as being in the past (e.g. by one hour), or
waking later than you'd expect.
- Use the NTP protocol to synchronize the system clock with reference
clocks on the internet, some machines/OSes can make the hardware clock
drift quite a lot, with programmed wake happening at the wrong time.
The NTP daemon looks for other computers dates on the network/internet
and keeps the hardware clock in checks regularly. Beware that firewalls
may block NTP, which uses port 123/udp. Perhaps your router/firewall
wants to act as a reference clock for your LAN, if so that is probably
what you want to use.
NTP will give you time accuracy of the second on every machines in your
network, sparing you with weird issues when you browse to secure web
sites (eg "Warning: This site's certificate is not yet/no longer
valid") and allowing to compare log files on 2 machines easily (eg for
backups, looking at the client log and looking at the server's log)

[SlimDevices: Plugins] MIP (and GenPUID) fingerprinting
I've noticed a bit of a pattern, and I'm wondering if there's a way around it through configuration of MIP or something. I've just updated SpiceFly's SugarCube (which I love, but the way) and installed TrackStat so as to improve the quality of the playlist served up by SugarCube. So far so good. I chose a seed track with the intention of rating tracks as they played. (There are a few tracks that often crop up that I want to give poor ratings to, in the hope that they'll be overlooked in future playlist generation). By chance, I choose a track that I'd ripped from a 7" single. I noticed that each and every track subsequently served up by SugarCube (based on a fingerprint generated by MIP/GenPUID) had also been ripped from vinyl. I guess that it's because I have ripped most of my vinyl to a very high bitrate (most have now been ripped to 24bit/96kHz FLAC); my guess is that the higher bitrate is reflected in the analysis and subsequent fingerprint and all tracks are considered "similar" even though musically they're quite different. (Either that, or SugarCube is trawling through the same directory when serving up tracks - I have the vinyls/CDs/cassettes stored in different folder structures). Is there anything I can do to avoid this? The worry is that if I pick a non-vinyl seed track, then (a) either no other vinyl tracks will be considered similar enough and will never get added to the playlist; or (b) at some point a vinyl track will be added to the playlist and the playlist will then cycle through all my vinyl tracks before moving on.
