I tried something like this based on a previous post by you at
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?102289-m3u8-radio-streaming
but it did not work. I had not noticed that the mime type in the
response from the server was application/x-mpegurl rather than
application/vnd.apple.mpegurl. I'll give this another go with the
updated mime type.

The MIME type will probably vary depending on broadcaster's servers
setup so I expect other value will be needed for other stations.

I found ffmpeg plays station quicker than vlc and also shutdowns
properly after playing.  vlc needs a special shell script to ensure
process is killed when playing is stopped.

I just tried this (add all three components in /etc/squeezeboxserver) -
nothing so far but I'll keep trying.  Do I need to do anything special
on ubuntu 14.04 to ensure ffmpeg is in place?  It wasn't installed, so I
have done so, but I still get nothing.

To be clear, I have tried adding the url as a favourite, and also via
'tune in url', but neither works.  There's nothing on the log.  Is there
a specific log entry I could turn on?

The way I read their first email, their complaint may well have been
about the screenshots. To me, their complaint seems valid. I recommend
you use some CC-licensed art when you relaunch the app. (It surely looks
more attractive to potential buyers than black blank spaces.)

Delighted you're on the case, bpa. I'm running LMS on a QNAP (SSOTS) and
not entirely sure how to try out your proposal. But I am in the UK, so
if you want me to do anything specific, I'm quite handy with WinScp and

In general that sounds reasonable. Nevertheless, considering it really
violates their policies, roundabout a few hundreds if not thousands of
apps have the same issue. I mean, any music player or music server (or
even just generic remote control) app has some images or video showing
them in use and displaying artwork of the related media files. And if I
should guess, I'd say that basically NONE of them is using CC-licensed
art/music for their advertising images. Sounds like a big bunch of
bullshit.

@wt0: is there anything that I (as an extremely satisfied user of your
app) can do to support you on this? I mean except from buying your
re-published app again ;-)

I've also been trying. I've turned on some debug logging for things that
look appropriate and get something like the attached.

I've a feeling something is not right earlier on during lms startup with
the new custom-convert etc settings. There is this line in the log:

The validity of the complaint is arguable, the use of covers in the
screenshots would probably fall under Fair Use. My main complaint is
that the first email never really specific pointed out what elements
were violating the policy.  I actually did get a warning email about a
week before the removal, but the wording was just as vague.  At that
point I had recently published an update and I thought that maybe
something in the what's new section was violating the policy (which I
changed). It never even crossed my mind that it was the screenshots.

Then after they finally pointed out that it was the album covers, I was
never given the chance to change the screenshots.

It won't be black squares, it'll be the blank disc icon that Squeezebox
uses.

A lot of the shots have so many covers that it will be a pain to find
enough CC-licensed art to fill all the spaces, plus the photoshop work
to put them in there.

I probably will do that in the future, but for now I just want to get it
republished.

The music titles should be fine, I don't think you can have a copyright
on phrases with just a few words and it's doubtful that song titles are
trademarked.

I would flag the "Google Play Music" app as inappropriate with the
reason "This app is not authorized to publish album covers on behalf of
the original content or brand owner"

Also, if you re-buy the app make sure you send me your original order
number for a refund.

I wonder if the custom-types.conf file needs ' audio' at the end of the

You're right - it was late and I didn't  cut & paste  correctly.

The repo beloe has the "plugin" which install all of these conf files
and works OK for Linux as long as you have ffmpeg installed
(http://www.ffmpeg.org)


There are two version one for WIndow and one for Linux - Windows is
untested - I'll do that later today.  Linux version has a missing string
otherwise it is OK.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Soundcloud plugin for squeezeserver

2015-02-13 Thread firecube

Hi,

This was raised on the previous page by mkkyah and I have the same...
from any list of tracks like the new / hottest tracks or a search which
ever track I select it is always the first one that plays.

I use Orange Squeeze and contacted the developer of that software to see
if he could fix it.  He confirmed the issue and said that it looks like
it is the plugin as there is the same behavior with SB Touch and
SqueezePlay controllers and suspected that it is "an issue with how the
the SqueezeCloud plugin interfaces with Jive controllers". 
Interestingly the web interface works fine but the dev suggested this
uses a different set of APIs.

It would be fantastic if this issue could be looked at as it really
spoils an excellent plugin!

Thanks, Simon

Fair enough, but not really necessary in my personal view.

Regarding the flagging of Google Play Music: I can fully understand the
motivation behind this. And (stepping aside from the fact that the
situation for you is anything but a laugh) it is even a funny/creative
way to react on your app issue. Maybe it would even apply to be a
parallel case to your app. For the Google Play All-Inclusive service, of
course, they explicitly have licensed all the content with the record
companies. But for playing the user's local music, they of course cannot
guarantee that it is properly licensed (and especially not by them as
the app owner). Although I have to admit I never read the terms and
conditions in detail. If the whole fuss was about the advertising images
only, then it's not the same as they should only have artwork of the
music that they have anyway licensed for their service in there.

Anyway, would be nice to see some "real" discussion triggered by this,
but I assume that it will just plainly be ignored in a similar manor as
they didn't go into an argument with you on your issue...

Brilliant - that works. Thanks bpa!

Now listening to Radio3 HLS stream. Not sure what the bit rate is
though...

For further info, the 1.6GHz arm in my ZYXEL nas is running at about 50%
cpu load in ffmpeg. Not so good, but I'm sure we'll have a better
solution eventually.

And it works!  Thanks very much indeed! :)

I think the other thing I had to do was ensure I had 'proxied streaming'
set in the settings/player/audio configuration.

ffmpeg reports low bit rates (~120kb) for the streams I quoted, eg:

Code:


  Input #0, hls,applehttp, from 
'http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/high/ak/bbc_radio_three.m3u8':
  Duration: 00:00:00.01, start: 91750.034844, bitrate: 130 kb/s
  Program 0 
  Metadata:
  variant_bitrate : 135680
  Stream #0:0: Audio: aac ([15][0][0][0] / 0x000F), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 130 
kb/s
  Metadata:
  variant_bitrate : 135680
  


So how do I get to a higher bit rate stream?  A different URL?

I also had to use my real Touch or squeezelite for a change.  I have
been using squeeze2upnp (a way of playing LMS via UPnP devices) but
something isn't quite right there for this stream and pcm - I just got
noise (very loud).  No matter that's for another time and thread.

If the listen-again software can be sorted we will have a complete
solution, only days after the BBC screwed it all up.  Both my Internet
Radiso use Vtuner and show no signs of ever being updated to satisfy the
Beeb's new streaming methods, but they both support UPnP, so I'll be
able to use LMS everywhere I need it.  Great!

What a wonderful community this is, and what a well-conceived piece of
software LMS has shown itself to be - again!  Sometimes something is
'just right'.

Michael - in his BBC blog entry last night, Jim Simmons said he'd booked
a call with Logitech this morning. Are we likely to her anything from
that?


Thanks for asking :-). I wanted to post, but was waiting for some 
posting to reply to.


Yes, we just had a call. And we're looking into ways to provide access 
to the BBC streams using SB/SR. I'm about to investigate which stream 
options of theirs are feasible for us. HLS is most likely out of 
question, as our players don't support it. But there's not much I can 
say yet.


TBH: I didn't follow the issue from the beginning. I've seen that 
somebody posted about Shoutcast streams, which would suit our needs 
better. What's the problem with them?

Thanks for the response, Michael. The problem is that the BBC is
switching off all SHOUTcast streams (bar temporarily live radio with
MP3), so we'll need to find ways of handling HLS or HDS. Thankfully with
LMS we have ways of doing this, unlike other internet radio systems -
there's a huge fuss over on the BBC blog by Jim Simmons. And also
thankfully, bpa has given us a first-pass plugin that gets HLS working.
Phew. I think it portrays LMS very positively that it is future-proofed
- maybe your colleagues at Logitech should have another look at the
Squeezebox business context?

The shoutcast streams are 128 MP3 streams for the international market.
They are not the same as the national feeds. That means they are poorer
quality than the previous feeds and don't contain certain programs where
there are rights issues which would mainly be sports programs on BBC 5
live and BBC 5 live Sports Extra).

1 other issue with the MP3 streams is that they seem to have a scheduled
end date in 2 or so years time so they are not a long term solution.

Regarding the actual streams there are 2 separate issues here.

The previous streams were compatible and handled by the squeezebox
players so were available both through LMS and MSB... While we know the
new feeds may not be suitable to be transformed by the squeezebox
players themselves surely one of the real advantages of the LMS system
is that it can process the feeds and transform into squeezebox playable
Flac files. 

As such those of us in the UK would really like access to the new AAC
feeds even though we know we may lose the ability to access them through
MSB

Sorry - can you remind me how you do this?  My solution from last week

selecting "AAC -> FlashAAC" in Settings.  But it won't play because I

I'm full of admiration and gratitude for bpa. However, I am ignorant of
how to take advantage of his insights. Perhaps he, or someone else,
could point me at the information for the technique of streaming from
VLC to LMS, and/or how to use the repositories in LMS Plugins.

I have contributed to the BBC blog on this subject and will be listening

@bpa: Thank you so much for producing a proof-of-concept plug-in so
quickly - A welcome spark of hope!  :)  I have not tried the plug-in
(tbh waiting for it to settle a bit!) and was wondering if:

1. Is your plugin just a 'test', then passing over to mherger to update
the "BBC iPlayer" plugin later on?

2. Is all this focussed at just live radio HLS streams, or is 'Listen
Again' in with a chance of working again on Squeezeboxes with some new
flavour of the "BBC iPlayer" plugin?

Hoping I can help out with some testing of a future "BBC iPlayer" plugin
that does 'Listen Again' via HLS :)


Btw, still happy to make a PayPal donation to those cutting code off
their own backs - bpa, mherger etc. do you want to put up a thread for
this?

Hi Michael.  I understand that your players do not support HLS natively,
but it should be possible to transcode the streams using a Server plugin
- in which case you need to get in touch with one of the two masters of
the art, Triode and BPA.  You could then forward them the URLs for the
new streams and they can build the appropriate plugin(s) if they feel so
inclined!

The problem with the Shoutcast streams is the BBC have turned off AAC
and left us only with the low bit rate 128kbps MP3 "international"
streams.  These are OK for low-fi devices but a sharp reduction in
quality compared to the AAC streams that went before, particularly the
320kbps Radio 3 stream.  Also, being international, the Radio 5 sports
channel cannot now play many live commentaries because of copyright
issues.

They have also stated that the Shoutcast streams will only be available
for "1 or 2 years" at which point they will be shut off too.

As it stands your SqueezeBox players are practically the only ones with
the capability to be adapted (via LMS) to play the new HLS streams. 
Owners of Sonos, Reciva, Roberts and Cambridge Audio - among others -
cannot do this because they lack a server.

Are you able to look at CPU usage on the pi while playing? I'm seeing
around 50% cpu load for the ffmpeg process on 1.6GHz ARM, which seems
very high. I would have thought a pi 1 would be quite marginal...

It looks as if the HLS feeds are only approx. 130kbps AAC. So the higher
rate feed [for R3, for example] hasn't been turned on yet. Have they
said anywhere they'll support higher bitrates again?

Thanks for the plugin and tips, btw. I'm testing it using VLC, but will

iPeng shows a different artist than the controller? That's indeed weird.
iPeng shows whatever the server delivers as "track artist" except for
the NowPlaing screen where it shows _all_ artist roles.
Which server version do you use? I know there was a bug in some versions
where the server picked a random role if there was more than one. 7.8.1
should have that fixed.

I'll try to help.

On the web interface, go to 'settings', and select the 'plugins' tab. 
Go to the bottom.  You may need to tick a box saying something like
'allow 3rd party plugins', and press Apply.

At the very bottom you should have a section called 'Additional
Repositories'

Add a line containing 

Code:


  http://bpaplugins.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/repo-playhls.xml
  


and Press Apply.

Near the bottom you should now have a section called "PlayHLS Plugin
repo".  Tick the box, Apply, and restart LMS.

LMS should now be able to play the new format streams.  Try adding a
favourite at 

Code:


  
http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/high/ak/bbc_radio_one.m3u8

> So how do I get to a higher bit rate stream?  A different URL?

I posted a link to the new Radio 3 AAC 320kb/s stream a while back in
this thread, but that one is using the HDS protocol, as used by the
flash browser-based player, and I'm not aware anybody's found anything
that can play or transcode that in an LMS context yet.

I haven't yet seen a 320kb/s HLS stream. I just had a quick play with a
proxy server and the iPhone app, and that does (as one would expect) use
an HLS stream, but it is only at 128kb/s. That's interesting. Is the
only way to get “HD” Radio 3 now using the flash player, we wonder. Ho
hum.

That stream, used by the iPhone app, is at
http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/high/llnw/bbc_radio_three.m3u8
(probably already posted by others).

Roll on the MPEG-DASH streams. That will actually be a step forward,
arguably (though won't help all the people that use non-squeezebox
devices, without the ability to insert appropriate shims in the media
server to convert the new protocols to something the existing devices
can actually play).

Irrelevant for this plugin since ffmpeg handles the stream directly -
"proxied "is only relevant when theplayer can play the stream directly
from the station.

> So how do I get to a higher bit rate stream?  A different URL?
You can't.  HLS is supposed to adapt the bitrate according to the your
network connections to avoid "rebuffering".
It looks like BBC have set up two stream - UK and non UK. I think non UK
has a max of 48kbps.

LMS expects PCM to be 44.1kHz - this stream is 48Khz.  You have to use
Flac or another format with a header.

mherger has nothing to do with BBCiPlayer.  Triode is responsible for
the wonderful BBCiPlayer plugin and applet.  

The plugin is just for playing Apple HLS streams. There is nothing BBC
about it.  Unfortuntately different source may use different MIME values
so for other HLS streams the type conf file may need to be edited.

ffmpeg is a general purpose application.  It is probable the flac
encoding is taking as much effort as aac decoding.  

This is a quick way to get people back on-line - not much point in doing
more if BBC are going to change things again and haven't mentioned a

2015-02-13 Thread gallafent

Hi bpa,

Huge thanks for this proof of concept. Some work to do still of course
to integrate with Triode's BBCiPlayer plugin, get station name and “now
playing” into the display, etc., but with your HLS plugin we're back up
and listening, which is very much the main thing :)

So, after installing ffmpeg on my Raspberry Pi (Version 1 model B
512MB), then installing your PlayHLS plug-in, I am able to play the HLS
streams no problem on my squeezebox, load average around 0.4, using some
old version of raspbian from a while ago! Completely happy with that.

The only missing link now (from my perspective) is a URI for the HLS AAC
320kb/s Radio 3 stream (and, one hopes, same quality for all other
stations, now that this new-generation infrastructure which will make
everything so much better is in place). So much for hidden stream URIs.
What were they thinking?

Props also at this point to the original software architects at Slim
Devices, whoever they may be, for building the server in such a way that
this is possible.

Thanks again!

Indeed for mysqueezebox.com the Shoutcast international 128kbps MP3
streams may be regarded as good enough for the majority of listeners. It
seems likely this is the best that is going to be available outside the
UK.

For UK users though what most of us are talking about on this thread is
updating the iPlayer plugin to handle the AAC streams using HLS and/or
HDS and eventually MPEG-DASH. This would be on a local LMS as a
priority, I think things like iPlayer applet on the Touch and Radio
would be a lower priority to look at later.

I have reset the file types to disable pcm for thls now and it works
fine.  I believe my UPnP solution has limited flexibility in its pcm
support.  When converting flacs to pcm in LMS I believe I'm getting
s24le rather than u16le.  However, it doesn't matter, flacs work.

Logitech have indeed been pretty decent about continuing support for
mysqueezebox.com (and presumably they also host these forums). Probably
didn't want the bad publicity of people saying "I bought a Logitech
radio 8 months ago and it's stopped working", which is indeed in sharp
contrast to the current BBC debacle. My mum asked if she should buy an
Internet radio based on the BBC encouraging takeup of them for Radio3 in
HD. I'm glad I talked her out of it, her FM reception is fantastic given
she lives two miles from Holme Moss.

A way around this would be to set up application generating PCM to
resample the input to 44.1Khz/16 bit.  I didn't test the PCm - I just
generated the conf fiel as quick as I could - I didn't expect BBC to
change form 44.1Hz or 32kHz of the old AAC and MP3 stream to 48Khz.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)

2015-02-13 Thread PasTim

I just had a reply to my complaint to the BBC, as below.  It basically
says 'Go away - we are ignoring you'.

-
Thank you for contacting the BBC iPlayer support team.

I understand you are no longer able to listen to BBC Radio streams on
your internet radio.

We have changed the way we stream radio so we'll no longer be providing
Window Media Audio and AAC audio streams.

We thought long and hard before deciding on the direction for Audio
Factory. The system replaces, not just the online streaming systems for
national radio, but also the systems for the nations and local radio. As
such we had to make choices around standardisation.

We have decided to use the http streaming formats HLS, HDS and DASH. We
began communicating our plans to internet radio manufacturers over 12
months ago. HLS streams are now available to internet radios and
aggregators that wish to use them. We have been working with various
manufacturers to help them develop their products where possible to
support our new streams. We are actively working on delivering our audio
using the non-proprietary DASH delivery format to support other
manufacturers and their devices going forward.

The Shoutcast AAC streams we provided for network radio only, relied on
very old hardware and unsupported software. They had a very high support
overhead. We have kept a single Shoutcast stream of every live service
to support devices that will never be able to play HLS, HDS or DASH
streams. Whist we cannot promise to support Shoutcast for more than 1 to
2 years, we will monitor the number of users and the quality of our
service and base our decision making on the impact to the audience.

We hope that manufacturers and developers will be able to support our
new streams or upgrade existing devices as time goes on, and we will do
our best to support them as the technology continues to evolve.

We've published a new blog that addresses some of these points and is
also worth reading:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/internet/entries/977a1954-658f-4fb2-a23c-71680c49882f

Flash was chosen for playback on bbc.co.uk in our embedded media player
for several reasons.

Reach – Flash was the most effective way of delivering a high quality
experience to the broadest possible audience. It provided DRM to enable
us to negotiate rights for distributing programmes online and allowed us
to affordably deliver an adaptive bitrate solution and live simulcasts
of our TV channels.

You can read more about Flash, open standards and the BBC in the
following blog.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/legacy/bbcinternet/2010/08/html5_open_standards_and_the_b.html

However, as Cathy Bartlett states in her blog below, we are looking to
move a single player across platforms and devices. We’ll be continuing
to exploit modern ways of embedding and playing media in web pages,
researching new streaming formats such as MPEG-DASH, as we move towards
using a single player across platforms and devices.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/internet/entries/7185ad76-d3de-3df6-8641-975feed88091

So while Flash is commonly used now, we are looking into how best to
deliver media going forward.

However please be assured that your feedback has also been included on
reports that are available to the personnel responsible for maintaining
and improving the BBC iPlayer service, including Dan Taylor Watt, the
Head of BBC iPlayer.

These reports are viewed as important documents that can help shape
decisions on future aspects of BBC iPlayer, the scope of the service in
terms of its availability and content.

Thanks again for contacting us.

Kind regards

Helen McCrickerd

Events have overtaken us, I'm afraid. As of Wednesday, the BBC shifted
its live AAC streams onto new URL's that BBCiPlayer presently doesn't
find, using a new streaming protocol that LMS doesn't presently play
(although bpa has just released a plugin that fixes this). Whilst things
settle, your best bet is to use TuneIn or similar that will find and
play live MP3 streams. The AAC Listen Again streams through BBCiPlayer
are still working, but will be switched over to the new BBC system at
some point - but hopefully when it happens all the necessary fixes will
be in place for LMS / BBCiPlayer to provide uninterrupted access.

I thought iPlayer was always 48KHz. I can see why the BBC would change
to 48KHz, it's becoming the worldwide standard.

How funny. I was just about to reply to your post noting exactly this
(likewise radio 6 music, AAC-LC 320kb/s 48kHz, so let's assume all the
rest!), and by the time I did so you had edited it :D So yes, happy
days, we've just been given an upgrade to 320kb/s (and 48kHz, as an
aside) on all stations! Perhaps announcing that would have led to a more
positive reaction than the way it was actually done!

World service seems to use a different URI pattern, and is only at
64kb/s HE-AAC, though. But that's fine, it does work.

Nope - IIRC WMA was 48Khz but at least for non UK  AAC was 32Khz -
couldn't play MP3 in recent years but I think it was 44.1Khz.

Yes, Listen Again is still being provided as SHOUTcast, but will be

You may have said before, but what platform are you on?  You need ffmpeg

I was sure that 'Listen Again' from the "BBC iPlayer" app was not
working earlier in the week (when Mr Simmon's looping message infected
live AAC streams) - Was this the case (& maybe the BBC re-plumbed it
later on?) or did I get my live mixed up with my listen again? :o

So, now we get to choose between Akamai and Limelight. I wonder which
will prove better. I think I'll go for Akamai since the URI is two
characters shorter and I've visited Massachusetts but not Arizona,
although the latter is easier to spell.

Seriously, it will be interesting to see if there's any particular
difference between the two as the new system settles in, and it would be
particularly neat if BBCiPlayer plugin is able to provide the choice in
due course! :)

I was trying this at the same time as you but seem to be failing at the
installing ffmpeg.exe into the LMS Bin directory (in my case C:\Program
Files (x86)\Squeezebox\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread) do you
simply place the exectuable here or is there some other way of
installing it?

I can see the file types in Advanced File types but the streams play in
silent mode.

I'm on Windows 7 64 bit and LMS 7.9

2015-02-13 Thread gasteropod

I have been listening the to the BBC HLS streams for a few days direct
on my PC using VLC and they are a little bit intermittent if I'm honest.
It seems that the individual "chunks" sometimes get mixed up so I hear
gaps, and sometimes a few seconds of radio from the past out of order.
It corrects itself quickly but something is not right.

I do not know if this is a problem with the stream, or a problem with
VLC. Given that ffmpeg and VLC are built on the same library I fear we
will suffer this too when listening via a squeezebox whoever is to
blame. I'd be interested to know if others hear this too.

I haven't seen any metadata transmitted in these URL which can identify
the stream or what is playing. If is the case then the station name will
have to be "hard coded" in some own to be associated with a specific
URL.  This is never a good solution.

Same here please. I successfully followed Tim's instructions and have
installed the PlayHLS plugin on LMS hoping I could access it from my SBT

Is this today's build of 7.9.0? If not, please update, just to be sure
that it's not an old bug.
Also, please tell me what your settings for artist handling in LMS are
under "Settings->My Music->Browse Artists".

What's happening in your case is that the server doesn't return an
"artist" for the current track - at all. What you are seeing is the list
of "additional artist roles", which comes in composer first. Since iPeng
overwrites the value in the current playlist for the currently playing
track (since it has _more_ information about that track than is
available in the playlist) it replaces the artist with this list.

Usually "artist" is the default artist to be used on a track, at least
it used to be so before LMS 7.9 and I would consider it a regression if
it no longer is independent of all the changes to artwork handling in
7.9.
That's what iPeng shows first - if present. If the "artist" is missing,
iPeng then shows the list of additional roles, composer first. That's
the same order used by the web interface and SqueezePlay, I believe, I
think that'S where I got it from.

There is no menu - jist create a Favorite with a BBC HLS URL and then
play the Favorite.

When asking question you should give some detail on your LMS version and
system platform/OS as sometimes this may be the problem.

You simply copy and paste the appropriate url (see above for choices)
into Tunein URL under Radio menu.  Hit play button - once stream is

It's not clear what you mean by "one of them" - ooneplaylist or one HLS
URL in the playlist.  There may be issues about HLS in playlist as HLS
is a playlist of playlists itself and LMS may be getting confused.

First - check that a single HLS URL will play on your system. Create
Favorite with a single HLS URL and check that it plays.
