 Hello PasTim,
 
 Maybe you are right, and frustrated rants are not helpful.  However,
 looking at it the other way, when someone is totally confused, often by
 errors and problems that manifest themselves in somewhat inconsistent
 ways, it can actually be both useful, and a little therapeutic, to
 realise that others have also had very, very similar experiences;
 especially if those others have been able to make things work in the
 end.
 
 I agree with what you say about Logitech being primarily a hardware
 company, one that likes to move quickly from product to product.  But I
 feel, and I think you do too at least to some degree, they have missed a
 rare opportunity with the squeezebox.  I know I bang on about classical
 music support, but almost no-one does it well, although some products
 are appearing now, like Sonata. I realise that the vast majority of the
 market is actually interested in tracks, or songs (I really, really
 dislike the term 'songs'), ordered by Artist and often, but not always,
 independent of Album Artist, but that part of the market is being fought
 over by the world and his brother.  The classical music
 server/player/streamer market, whilst a minority of the whole, is still
 huge and around for the long term, and Logitech could have taken a
 dominant position in it. In addition, I think  many classical users use
 their Squeezebox's in good Hi-Fi systems, as well as with lesser kit
 around the house, and would regard the Squeezebox Touch as a remarkably
 cheap device.
 
 Ho-hum; thank heavens that LMS is still being supported (although I am
 not sure about the precise details), and that Erland has given us the
 tools to view things as we want.

 This version takes a cut at implementing the long weather forecasts
 which were not present in the previous 5.10.x (weather underground API)

 Since I did not previously use the long weather functionality, I'm not
 really sure how it worked previously, so this might require some
 additional tweaks. Also, I can't seem to get my SB3 or BOOM to show the
 longweather using the FFWD or RWND keys - again, I'm not really sure how
 it's supposed to work, and I really just populated the appropriate
 strings and arrays without modifying the logic for using this feature.
 
 One difference which is intentional is I don't implement the same
 localization for the long weather text, mainly because I was afraid
 that this might not work well with different languages.  Instead, the
 weather strings provided are either in Fahrenheit + mi/hr or celsius +
 km/hr  depending on whether your temperature preference is F or C (these
 strings are as provided by the weatherunderground queries).

*This is really great.* I get (at 9AM) a long weatherforecast for
tonight, tomorrow, tomorrow night, day after tomorrow and day after
tomorrow night in celsius + km/h with weather, temperature and wind
forecast - *in german language*! Never had it that comfortable before.
And it tickers through the display as it should. A very small glitch:
between the temperature value and the C the ° is missing, so it reads
2C instead of 2°C. Maybe it is a WU thing that cannot be changed, I
will look at it later.

Two questions: 
1.) Some images have an overlay with a questionmark. What does it mean
considering the wetherforcast?
2.) Is it possible to show the nighticon for tomorrow night (or even day
after tomorrow night?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Looking for plugin which parses stream for sample rate/bits per sample

2014-12-15 Thread mike_b16

A bit of background would help here I'm sure.

I have 3 Raspberry Pi units. One has a Wolfson audio card on it, and the
other two have HiFiBerry DACs attached to them. I have a high quality
audio source (capable of outputting 24/192/2ch analog audio) which I
want to be able to pipe to the rest of my home, similar to a Sonos
system. I wanted to do this using the RPi with the Wolfson card as a
server which can pull this HQ audio stream in at 24/192/2ch and send it
over the network to my 2 RPi units with the HiFiBerry DACs. The Wolfson
card is capable of 24/192 recording/playback and the HiFiBerry DACs are
capable of 24/192/2ch playback. After researching several solutions
based on my requirements (playback sync, reliable stream, don't care too
much about latency as long as it's within 5 seconds), I decided on using
LMS on my Wolfson Pi with bpa's WaveInput plugin. Now, it appears that
the plugin requires some modification if I want to allow this 24/192/2ch
capability.

As for what I want, I don't care whether the stream is sent as PCM or
FLAC. As long as I get that 24/192/2ch playback at the sources. If I
understand it, the format of the custom-convert.conf file in the
WaveInput plugin needs to be written using a very specific format
(including sections for PCM, mp3, and FLAC). However, if this can be
modified to just send FLAC and I can skip this problem with PCM not
containing format information in the headers, that would be great.

Cheers,

Michael

This info has helped greatly.  Since this is a analog source - why did
you mention multi channel multiplexing in the other thread  - I had
assumed you were recording from the digital input.

If the recording is fixed at 192/14/ch and it never changes then using
Flac as the output stream means the Wavin plugin conf file can be
hardcoded to your application and no changes are need to plugin.

 Thats a feature Squeezeboxes always lacked to be able to route analog
 inputs trough the house , quite usefull , for exqample LP playback (but

The WaveInput plugin requires LMS to be running on the device. The
use-case I saw was remote device with no LMS such as Touch player  - and
user wants to route audio form remote player to LMS which then can then
be played on any or all SB players.   For personal use, I did a rough
version of plugin to do this where the player used netcat to create a
Flac stream from audio input streamed over a specific tcp/ip socket  and
the modded version wavinput which would create a netcat to connect to
player when remote audio streaming was required.  Using netcat means
remote audio port can be on a Windows, OSX or Linux box (e.g. Touch).

Include means that at least one of the selected tags has the be part

Exclude means that it's excluded if any of the selected tags is part
of the file.

To compare with genres, it's the typical Christmas + Pop problem. If
you have tagged a file with both Christmas and Pop and select Pop
as include, you will still get this album. If you select Christmas as
Exclude it means that all christmas music will be excluded independent

Apologies here, this was due to my idiocy in the first two thirds of the
last thread where I read into your description of the plugin too much
and thought I literally needed local playback on the card in order to
copy that using arecord, which would have required multiple instances
of arecord for me.

 If the recording is fixed at 192/14/ch and it never changes then using
 Flac as the output stream means the Wavin plugin conf file can be

So can I simply remove the lines that deal with PCM and mp3 in your

converting the stream to FLAC? Or is there a better way to modify it?

I have hope, a solution is near! :D

Remove the PCM line as there is no easy way this is going to work.
Remove the MP3 because even though it can be made to work - why waste
time working out the correct lame option settings.

The flac command line to encode the stream  has to have option telling
flac that the input is pcm 192 24bit 2 ch (or whatever you are using)
and then the output will have a header. If you wish to support
downsampling - you should look at main convert.conf file to how to do
downsampling using flac.

Don´t know if i can watch this because I might fell asleep already. :)

But what I could see was a long weatherforecast on the Boom. It looks a
little different - I am not used to it, because it is turned off
usually. It has to be cycled through the 4 forecasts with the remote.
Period Covered has to be put in separatly with %y, but it works as on
the Touch. And I get nice icons with fog.

For the precip_today_string I also get  0.00 in (0 mm).  But 
precip_today_metric of course is better here in Europe because it only
shows 0 mm and not inches. I changed it for me, don´t worry about it.

Sorry for the dumb question, but the audio source is only available in

 This info has helped greatly.  Since this is a analog source - why did
 you mention multi channel multiplexing in the other thread  - I had
 assumed you were recording from the digital input.
 
 If the recording is fixed at 192/14/ch and it never changes then using
 Flac as the output stream means the Wavin plugin conf file can be
 hardcoded to your application and no changes are need to plugin.
 
 
 
 The WaveInput plugin requires LMS to be running on the device. The
 use-case I saw was remote device with no LMS such as Touch player  - and
 user wants to route audio form remote player to LMS which then can then
 be played on any or all SB players.   For personal use, I did a rough
 version of plugin to do this where the player used netcat to create a
 Flac stream from audio input streamed over a specific tcp/ip socket  and
 the modded version wavinput which would create a netcat to connect to
 player when remote audio streaming was required.  Using netcat means
 remote audio port can be on a Windows, OSX or Linux box (e.g. Touch).

Yes op has LMS a running on the RPi he intends to stream from , but your
idea with netcat sounds good indeed . But you need inputs analog or
digital , so some USB add on or this special board for RPi is needed .
Personally I have reduced all my source components to digital ones. And
afaik no ones has yet provided a low latency way of doing it so TV a
sound would not be a really good idea , but terrestrial radio and other
audio only sources :)

 Sure you could use USB to ethernet dongle, but I've lost It and I don't

 Squeezelite + LMS did a great job streaming pcm 44.1/16 with no issue,

 Think it's a great solution if you have an old mac doing nothing and

I've build an OSX 10.4+ i386 squeezelite 1.6.5 on a 10.6 system for you

You'll find squeezelite-1.6.5.499-osx-i386.tar.gz on mediafire in the

You can also follow the i386 readme to install and run it at startup.

Hopefully it works on 10.5, it should as it loaded and played fine on

 To compare with genres, it's the typical Christmas + Pop problem. If
 you have tagged a file with both Christmas and Pop and select Pop
 as include, you will still get this album. If you select Christmas as
 Exclude it means that all christmas music will be excluded independent
 which other tags it contains.

Ah, I hadn't thought about multi tag tracks as I seem to only have one
tag per track. I use tagrename which I think only allows one tag, but I
may well have been using it too simply since I got it, quite some years
ago.

More research needed, though it was Christmas music that I have made my
first file for and I had excluded everything except 'Christmas' and
included only Christmas, seems now it's overkill but it works in my
case!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SuperDateTime - Current Date/Temperature and/or Baseball Screensaver

2014-12-15 Thread jallison

This may be a bit off topic but there's such an active discussion of SDT
going on that I can't help asking about it.

I'm using Custom Clock Helper to define a skin for Custom Clock on my
Touch. It works pretty well, showing current weather, short forecast,
and sports scores for teams I'm interested in. But I'm still confused
about what some of the options are. For example, the Forcast icon
(sic) allows a period selection of one of C, 1, 2, 3, d1, ..., d10. I
assume d1...d10 would give one forecast icons for day 1 through day 10.
But what are the C and 1, 2, 3 for? 

Also, I'd like to have some simple text below the icon showing projected
high and low for that forecast period. Is that possible?

Thanks for any input and many thanks to the community and especially
tcutting for keeping SDT alive!

I think what you want is possible.
The SuperDateTime plugin provides effectively 3 different period sets
of weather information (not including the long weather forecast, which
is seperate, and I'm not sure if that's currently supported through the
Custom Clock / Custom Clock Helper apps.
There is the current conditions - current temperature, humidity, etc.
There are the near term forecasts: C is for currently, 1, 2
and 3 are for the next few periods. These could be (1) TODAY, (2)
TONIGHT, (3) TOMORROW or (1) TONIGHT, (2) TOMORROW, (3)
TOMORROW NIGHT
The  D1 - D10 are for the 10-day forecast and yes, are for day 1
through day 10.

Hope that helps.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Looking for plugin which parses stream for sample rate/bits per sample

2014-12-15 Thread mike_b16

 If you wish to support downsampling - you should look at main
 convert.conf file to how to do downsampling using flac.

Downsampling is not needed in my case; all of the players support
24/192/2ch.

 Sorry for the dumb question, but the audio source is only available in
 analogue format ? Other than that, would creating a source stream using
 (eg) vlc work ? that source stream could then be a radio feed fed back
 for LMS - if you are not sensitive to delay, that would probably work, I
 think

Yes, the audio from my HQ audio sources is only available in analog
format. While the streaming with vlc would also (hopefully) work too, I
wouldn't be the only one using this solution, and I wanted to have a
nice interface and an easy-to-control method as well as synchronization
of the playback streams. I have a feeling that would be complex with
that direct streaming method.

 Remove the PCM line as there is no easy way this is going to work.
 Remove the MP3 because even though it can be made to work - why waste
 time working out the correct lame option settings.
 

After this suggestion, I wanted to make sure that whatever command I
have in the custom-convert.conf file would be more or less usable from
the command line. I did several tests with this, and ran into problems.
I tested playback of the .flac files I created with mplayer, since
arecord/aplay doesn't support flac files. I downloaded a 24/192/2ch flac
test file from Linn Recordings to ensure that I could playback a
24/192/2ch file locally on my server unit, which I was able to do
through mplayer with no problems. However, when I tried to create a line
close to what I'd be using in the custom-convert.conf file using
arecord -d0 -c2 -f S24_LE -r 192000 -traw -D hw:0 | flac -cs
--endian=little --sign=signed --channels=2 --bps=24 --sample-rate=192000
--compression-level-0 - -o flac_raw24.flac, I simply got static with
warped music underneath. When I change the bits per sample (in both the
arecord portion and the flac portion) though, mplayer plays back the
file fine. These two behaviors also occur if I change the -t field to
wav. Changing the sample rate doesn't change the behavior. The mplayer
states that the file is s32le format (which I thought might be a
problem), but it also states that the working flac file from Linn is
s32le. Also, I tried to simply record 24 bit and 16 bit audio to a wav
file (not using the flac conversion) and play it back with mplayer.
mplayer will sound the same as the 24 bit flac files I created (static,
warped music), but when I play it through aplay, it plays fine.

Does anyone know why the flac conversion is crapping out like this at 24
bits? The Wolfson card can definitely support 24/192/2ch
capture/playback. I know this thread is running a bit off topic, but I
feel like this is the last hurdle before a working solution. I've
attached screenshots of all the flac conversions/wav captures/playbacks
I attempted and the mplayer results when I play them. test192.flac is
the Linn test file:

16968
16969
16970
16971

1. A plugin that is able to play from a netcat TCP/IP stream won't care
where the stream comes from so the plugin is general purpose and source
system agnostic.  It is up to user to create the source in the case of
RPI if recording audio from an external source then some extra hardware
is needed. This RPI user has a Wolfson card which has both an analogue
and digital input.This sort of plugin would have clean netcat
interface and so user will never have to fiddle with LMS plugins or
code.

2. LMS based solutions will always have latency.  If user doesn't want
latency - then don't use LMS. I have never offered low latency.

I use D1 through D5 to give me a rotating five days of forecasts.  By
using H %_5 / L %_7 for each Dx, I get the output of H 42 / L 21 but
setting it set up and positioned properly is really a matter of trial
and error.  I'd suggest taking a look at an existing skin in CCH, such
as OffClockSaver SDT Weather Fahrenheit, which is what I based my skin
on.  Export a copy of the original skin.  Place the Touch next to your
computer and one at a time, change the color of the different elements. 
Click APPLY after each change, which will refresh the display on the
Touch, and you'll see what element does what. It may take some time to
accomplish what you want.  I'm still tweaking mine after three-plus
years of use.  Hope this is easier to understand than it was to write.

That is strange. I am looking at my Touch right now, and it's 8:34PM and
showing a night icon.
You could try changing the logging for SuperDateTime to debug - I added
a lot of debug logging so I could make sure it's doing what I expect.
Could you possibly be pointing to a different weather station?  I
changed the logic to read the time from the weather query rather than
the local time your server is showing, in case someone wants to select a
weather station at another location in a different time zone.

Below is an example of my log with DEBUG on for SDT. Right after it
processes a URL call, it shows the Current Weather Time it 20:29, and
the Daily ICON URL for CURRENT (-1) has the nt_ prefix which
indicates it is selecting a night icon. :

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Rescanning and Multi-Library

2014-12-15 Thread Michael Herger

LMS (7.9) has a habit of rescanning items if it sees they have changed.


This behaviour should not have changed in 7.9 compared to 7.8. How is 
this being triggered? Does it discover those changes automatically (then 
disable auto scan)? Or when you BMF to a changed file?



This causes it to sulk for a while before it's ready to use again.  I
thought there used to be a way of stopping it from rescanning, but I
can't find it now.


Settings/Advanced/Performance? There might be an option to 
enable/disable auto rescan.



The problem this causes is, on my system, much worse.  I have configured
Custom Scan to kick in and rescan after LMS has done a rescan.  If I
don't have this option set I forget to do a custom scan when I really
have added new stuff.  Custom Scan takes hours to rescan which is not
what I want to happen when just playing music since the system is
unusable.


What might have changed in 7.9 is a bug in older versions which did not 
correctly update the last changed flag. This was causing issues with eg. 
apps using a local cache. They wouldn't update they're caches after 
certain changes. Now if this is triggering CustomScan, then it's more of 
a side-effect to a bug fixed. But it should not be a new bug. Just 
something to be aware of as the developer of CustomScan (I've seen 
similar complaints wrt. to my SmartMix plugin). But to be sure let's do 
above checks for auto rescan and try to understand when this is being 
triggered on your system.



Further, I have sometimes switched off my system not fully realising it
was still doing a Custom Scan.  The system then wakes up and does a full
scan in the middle of the night, which is fine.  However, what happens
then is that Multi-Library seems to have reset the value for the
Standard Library (from 1 to 6 or 7) which means my non-Classical stuff
cannot be found.  I have to go into the database and change the value
back to 1, and then all is well.


That sounds like something you should report to Erland.

 I've been having trouble getting any college hoops scores for Illinois. 
 I see that Big Ten is (still) ID 7, but when I look at an Illini score
 on the ESPN website itself, the URL looks like
 
 http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/356/illinois-fighting-illini
 
 which ends with illinois-fighting-illini.  Should I use that full name
 for the team name when setting up SDT, or just Illinois?
 
 -mark

Illinois is what SDT pulls for the Team name.  I played around with it a
little bit tonight and found there is a trailing space being added by
the ESPN website.  

Try Illinois  on your system and I think you'll get the scores to show
up.

I've added the following lines in the gotCBB subroutine to trim any
leading or trailing spaces from the teams returned from ESPN.  


Code:

#Trim any leading and trailing spaces from team names
$away_team =~ s/^\s+//;
$away_team =~ s/\s+$//;
$home_team =~ s/^\s+//;
$home_team =~ s/\s+$//;
  



It's working for me, so I'll post an update to the BoomX2 version of SDT
included this patch and adding the American conference to the settings.

PS - The same code can be added to the gotCBB subroutine in tcutting's
release if that is what you're running.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Smart Mix plugin

2014-12-15 Thread Michael Herger

I'm using a Wandboard with a local hard drive in my car and I'm curious
if the smartmix plugin also need an Internet connection when playing
music (from local library)?


Yes, you'll need internet access to create the actual mixes. There's 
little smarts in the plugin itself, all the mix creation is handled by TEN.

The Custom Scan scanning is triggered by rescan done event

That's a new one to me. But I'm still not sure why there would even be a 
scan without the user triggering it.


The rescan done event you mentioned might indeed be called more often 
than before (due/thanks to the bug fix I mentioned). But not without a 
scan being run. Which leads us back to the aforementioned question.
