Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
Thanks again pippin. Here is the information you requested. 1 - previously it was loading the menu initially in something like 3 seconds. I never actually timed it back then simply because I was very happy with that performance. Now it's taking 10-20 seconds and it's frustrating when all you want to do is turn off the player. 2 - it does get better on consecutive starts - while the app is still in memory then it's almost instantaneous. Once it has loaded up then it appears to stay in memory (cached) for a while. However, it does not stay like that for as long as 12 hours - again I've never timed it, but for now at least I would say we're talking well less than one hour. It will take me a while to be able to get a more accurate value on that. 3- all IP addresses (that are relevant to the discussion) on my network are reserved based on MAC address and never change. Server, player, iPad are always on their same IP addresses respectively. 4 - I would never do a full 'clear re-scan' unless absolutely necessary. Overnight scans are always incremental. 5 - There is nothing shown in the server log to explain this. The last entry in the log is timed at 09:57:44 today, but I have seen the problem happen a few times since then.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: ShairTunes Plugin
I was never able to get it working on MAC. I ended up trying multiple ways and doing plenty of research and troubleshooting, but could never get any audio in the end. I ended up switching to using a 3rd party Airplay Server like Reflect or Air Server and then funneling that stream into NiceCast and having the Squeezebox tune into that MP3 stream. Sure its not audiophile quality, but it works very reliably. I am a Spotify user, which was the main reason I looked to do this b/c the 3rd Spotify plugin is lacking. I assumed I would have to Airplay this, but actually the desktop client can be controlled via the Spotify mobile app, so I can tune SqueezeBox into NiceCast and have NiceCast specifically re-broadcast audio from the Spotify App and NiceCast has the nice benefit of supporting track names, etc. for specific applications like Spotify so track information comes across to Squeezebox display. All of this is fairly easily scriptable, so I can click a few buttons on my phone to ensure all appropriate apps are launched and Squeezebox is tuned in. straightc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19197 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100379 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
arressen wrote: - is it possible that we could have settings control over how aggressive the startup process is? The decision on whether we want to hit the server hard or not is then our choice to trade off one versus the other. - alternatively, would it be possible to cache the player details and refresh in the background, similar to the library media content? No, that's not how this works. The problem with the previous way of handling the startup was that the aggressive reconnect often re-requested everything even though the original menu was fine but just a little late, throwing away perfectly fine data and therefore actually making the startup process much longer for a lot of users. In a well-working setup the whole menu should load within 3-5s after start. Caching is risky, the concept is that the menu is only valid at the time it gets transmitted by the server so there is no indication whether it still is. All other Apps and the Squeezeboxes also re-request it every time it's opened, the Squeezeboxes, however, maintain a permanent connection to the server as long as they are powered on, something an App can only do while it's running. A previously cached menu could be wrong in many points and there would be no way to know about it. What we need to do is find out about what's going wrong in your case and why it's taking the server longer than the usual 2-3s to deliver a menu. What I see for my server is that usually the first time I request a menu after not having used it from a client for a longer time (12h or so) it takes longer for the menu to be delivered. I believe that is because the menu, too, gets _created_ on the server side only after it is requested and then it's cached for a while, I don't know how long but definitely hours. If the menu is cached, it can be delivered more or less instantaneously. In my setup, a cold start requiring after several hours of not using a client takes around 20s for the menu to show up, all consecutive requests will then be fast for several hours, even from other clients. This _might_ be because my library NAS goes to sleep and takes several seconds to wake up, maybe the server will check something on that disc before returning the menu, my server itself never sleeps. Your nightly rescans also might play a role. So a few more questions: - If it takes long for iPeng to get the menu, _how_ long exactly is that? 20s? A Minute? - Does it get better on consecutive starts? - Does your server and/or iThingy change it's IP address? - Do you do a ClearRescan overnight? This would add a lot of load on iPeng's initial start because after a clearrescan iPeng will throw away it's cache and re-request everything (the cache would be worthless and invalid anyhow) creating a lot of load and delays. It's usually better to do an incremental rescan, especially with 7.8 which no longer has 7.7's limitations (e.g. changed artwork will now be found) - Is there anything in server.log after iPeng connects and takes long to get the menu? Could you send me a server.log? --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

arressen wrote: 1 - previously it was loading the menu initially in something like 3 seconds. I never actually timed it back then simply because I was very happy with that performance. Now it's taking 10-20 seconds and it's frustrating when all you want to do is turn off the player. So you are seeing this even if a player is running? That's indeed quite long. I have only be seeing this is the server really has not been used at all for quite a while. One more thing: you mention something about not being able to e.g. power off a player: does this mean you don't even see the list of players? That would be a different issue then, this means iPeng doesn't even have a connection to the server and the server status has not yet come in. This sounds more like an issue with your iThingy getting disconnected from WiFi and having to reconnect or something (if the server is up and running and even music is playing on some players). 2 - it does get better on consecutive starts - while the app is still in memory then it's almost instantaneous. I meant with consecutive cold starts. If the App stays in memory it _looks_ faster (the player list and menu is preserved) but menus should then re-initialize whenever the main menu comes in. If you can't even get the initial connection done then any commands sent to the player should fail, too. Once it has loaded up then it appears to stay in memory (cached) for a while. However, it does not stay like that for as long as 12 hours - again I've never timed it, but for now at least I would say we're talking well less than one hour. It will take me a while to be able to get a more accurate value on that. There is no time limit. iOS suspends Apps in the background but keeps them in memory as long as the memory isn't otherwise needed. If some other App needs lots of memory, the suspended App gets purged from memory and needs to restart when you want to go back. One thing to prevent this is to keep iPeng active in the background (Settings-iPeng Settings-Preserve Connection but it will impact battery life since the App stays active in this case. 5 - There is nothing shown in the server log to explain this. The last entry in the log is timed at 09:57:44 today, but I have seen the problem happen a few times since then. You mean the server logs _nothing_ when iPeng connects??? Are you sure you are using that server? Usually the server should at least throw a lot of warnings due to some bugs in internal components, it usually does that whenever a device requests a menu. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I disagree with your analysis. The formats the BBC provided were compatible with a vast array of devices. What they are doing is introducing formats which are supported by only a selected range of devices - seemingly smartphones and tablets. The users of these are highly unlikely to actually consume more than a small percentage of what the BBC outputs. It's like the old adage of 'the inmates taking over the asylum', only this time it's the geeks taking over the medium under the guidance of Senior Managers. This fiasco is likely to rank alongside the Passport Office computer debacle, the NHS computerisation project, and the great Universal Credit scheme. It's obvious that nobody thought to do a competent analysis of existing users before this ridiculous 'Audio Factory' nonsense was signed off. Now they are scrambling around trying to justify what they've set in train. There are 100s of complaints on the Audio Factory blog - there are probably 1000s of other uses out there across a wide range of platforms who are just left in silence wondering what the heck is going on.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
Thanks for your response pippin. Here is what I've done: 1. Re-started the LMS - tried both stop/start the service (without reboot), and then also rebooted the RPi 2. Installed the latest nightly build for 7.8.1 (1423565104) and rebooted the RPi Unfortunately they have not made any difference to the startup time. I can also confirm that the server is not scanning - I have that scheduled to run overnight, other than occasional manual rebuilds which I initiate myself. And our router/broadband should not be a problem (24ms pings to MySqueezebox.com, and typically 75Mbps d/l and 17Mbps u/l). I can't speak for performance on the other end, but don't suspect any problems. Just to be clear, the app itself is displayed immediately - it's just building the content that takes time. The media list is displayed straightaway, but I believe that is cached on the device anyway so I'm not surprised. Next it determines the current playlist and displays that, also a placeholder for the current track artwork (but with a default graphic shown). Then it gets the correct artwork. And then some time later it works out the correct menu list to display. By comparison, I don't see the same issues with other controllers, but I am seeing the same problem on my wife's iPad (v2, also 8.1.3). Your comments about the less aggressive approach in iPeng 8.0.4 seem to be the more likely the explanation for what is happening. A couple of thoughts: - is it possible that we could have settings control over how aggressive the startup process is? The decision on whether we want to hit the server hard or not is then our choice to trade off one versus the other. - alternatively, would it be possible to cache the player details and refresh in the background, similar to the library media content?

However, I presume that finding out the URL is not the problem anyway, but getting the squeezebox server to support HLS streaming is the main challenge to overcome? Well done for finding the streams. Having tried them in LMS, you're right that they don't play - presumably because we need a transcoder plugin that deals with the HLS/HDS streaming protocols? Hopefully Triode can work that one out? It doesn't look good for us when Listen Again switches to HLS/HDS. majones's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13029 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

It's just an extension of the cleverness of LMS that we already enjoy - my Boom can't handle AAC, but right now I'm listening to Listen Again Radio 3 streaming at 320kps AAC courtesy of LMS converting it to 705kbps FLAC. majones's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13029 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Annouce: Squeeze Control, a squeezebox remote app, is now available for Android
That's very sad to hear, I noticed today that your app was completely removed from my past orders as well (wtf, Google?)... It now appears as if I've never bought that app - unfortunately, I got a new phone today and am now unable to install Squeeze Control anymore :( Could you perhaps make an apk available for buyers of your app? It would be a shame if such a good app just vanishes from one day to the other... elim92's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64016 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96757 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

One thing that comes through to me in all this is that having LMS at the core of the Squeezebox concept, with it's capability to process pretty much whatever is thrown at it, was an amazingly forward-looking idea on the part of the Slimdevices guys.

The main advantage, for me, of having multiple squeezeboxes is that instead of having the music / radio cranked up in one room so that I can hear it all around the house, I can have it playing at a sensible volume in multiple rooms all synced together. Richard I could never get synced playback to work. I changed to wireless speakers on my main hifi, so I can distribute whatever is playing on my hifi throughout the house whether that is SqueezeBox, DAB, FM, Freeview, cassette tape, DVD etc. Owen Smith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42371 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
