Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Smart Mix plugin
So, why is it, that if I let SmartMix search for tracks, then grab the track and throw it at the Qobuz Plugin search engine I get useful results, and when the SmartMix Plugin does it it fails??? Because you know what you are looking for, even if it is not in the exact fields the software is expecting the data to be. You know a composer's work even if the composer isn't in the artist field. The software isn't that smart. It checks the title, and it checks the artist. If they match: well done. If not? What should it do? There's a reason why "artificial intelligence" still is the future. To query the Qobuz Search Api, I'd just throw it a line of text (like the aformentioned "Maurice Ravel La Valse"), but the Plugin seems to split up the query into several parts ("artist" "name" "performer" etc.) I explained that to you before. I can't do that because it often throws up rubbish. Eg. stuff like "Sledgehammer (karaoke version as known by Peter Gabriel)". Do you really think that's what you want to get when searching for Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer? I prefer not to get anything (because his catalog is not available online :-() Trust me when I say that I've spent hours and days trying to find an algorithm which does this job decently, without mixing in too much crap. As you can use the API without any software development involved, feel free to play around with titles and artists as you like. SmartMix needs to get a track ID. Try to find an algorithm (or flow) which does work not only for your classical taste, but for popular searches, too. Create some random mix using SmartMix and one of the supported services. Write down the _exact_ title and artist names, and use them for the evaluation. Draw a flow chart and send it to me. I'll be happy to give it a try. But please verify it with dozens of tracks. if I'm reading it correctly. I'd like to know what the Qobuz Plugin sends to the API in order to get the "Track" result and try to duplicate that for the SmartMix thingy. Will search throught the repo now... Enable debugging for the Qobuz plugin. I think it's logging all API calls. -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Qobuz.com streaming plugin
I'm not sure why the transcoding framework would be involved, though. From the looks of it, seeking has directly been disabled from Qobuz plugin's ProtocolHandler.pm. It's not really involved, in that flac can be streamed directly to the player. But the transcoding helper would still need to read the configuration to figure this fact out. Plus even when streaming directly, there are certain details defined in the convert.conf. From their source code, it looks like the Pandora and Rhapsody plugins would support seeks in regular streams (i.e. not radio stations). I would say so, yes. But they're not streaming flac. -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

But we really > ought to do this properly Brilliant! Thanks mate, you've made my day. As an addict of R4, R4E, R3, R5L and R6M the Squeezebox BBC iPlayer plugin Listen Again streams changed my life. I was beginning to worry that it was all over. Hopefully one day somebody will make a version of the plugin that does not need to be hacked. Not interested in going the HLS route just yet as the RTMP streams work fine. A bit of extra info for those running LMS on a Raspberry Pi using Max2play (Squeezeplug), but accessing from a Windows PC, have a look at 'WinSCP' (http://winscp.net/eng/index.php). I did not know where LMS and its plugins were saved on the Pi, but WinSCP has a simple search function that scanned the entire Pi in seconds to find the file. It also allowed me to edit it using a simple GUI text editor using cut and paste. The BBCXMLParser.pm file is located in this folder /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/BBCiPlayer Make the edits, save the file and restart LMS.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)
One of my solutions to get the sound back on my lounge hifi is to play the stream from the BBC website on my wireless laptop. I then monitor the output and use vlc to stream that (wirelessly again) to a favourite stored on LMS and then play that on my hifi. It's a bit of a palava, and trying it tonight needed a further strange hack. I used to be able to play the stream to a linux 'null' device and monitor that. Tonight that didn't work for the BBC stream, so I resorted to an old faithful that even the BBC cannot stop. Play the sound on my laptop audio, monitor that, and plug a headphone adaptor into the headphone socket to switch the sound off on the laptop. Of course the BBC will claim that they know how I am using their stream - firefox on a laptop. Not quite the whole story. I don't know what quality the source stream is using this method, but I'll find out somehow. Gr. To anyone wishing to try something so daft, the vlc command I am currently using is: Code: cvlc pulse://null.monitor :sout='#transcode{vcodec=none,acodec=mp3,ab=320,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:http{dst=:8081/laptop.mp3}' :no-sout-rtp-sap :no-sout-standard-sap I'm aware this isn't quite as good as it could be, but it is working.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Playing WMA Lossless files on OSX Squeezebox 7.7.5
interested to know if WMA Lossless files can be played on an OSX installation of LMS v 7.7.5? I saw some posts from 2009 which mention using mplayer which I have installed. This seems to be fine for WMA streaming but not for local files. I can convert to FLAC using DBpoweramp on a Windows PC but end up loosing album artwork on the way. Any guidance on how it might be done (if possible) would be appreciated.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Smart Mix plugin
Sorry about the monologue... I'm cross with myself, because I can't figure this out on my own. So, why is it, that if I let SmartMix search for tracks, then grab the track and throw it at the Qobuz Plugin search engine I get useful results, and when the SmartMix Plugin does it it fails??? I just don't see where it goes wrong. I'm currently trying to understand the SmartMix.pm in the Qobuz Plugin folder, but since I have no prior experience I'm pretty confused. To query the Qobuz Search Api, I'd just throw it a line of text (like the aformentioned "Maurice Ravel La Valse"), but the Plugin seems to split up the query into several parts ("artist" "name" "performer" etc.) if I'm reading it correctly. I'd like to know what the Qobuz Plugin sends to the API in order to get the "Track" result and try to duplicate that for the SmartMix thingy. Will search throught the repo now... It'll probably fail, but I might learn something useful.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)
There is a piece of open source software the BBC don't like that still works. It also supplies Radio 3 (at least - I haven't tried others) in 320kbps AAC format. I will listen and then delete the program, which I believe is quite legal and above board. They are forcing me to do this. I don't want to.

For what its worth I made a complaint too... more a letting off of steam though... "I have 7 Logitech Squeezebox devices littered around the house. 90% of my listening pleasure had been provided via the iPlayer WMA streams. The BBC have ended these and have not provided a replacement that works with these devices. This is criminal, and the way the process has been handled incompetent. Along with many others i know find myself having to replace my whole-house audio system. For me the cost will be around £4k. To finance this I have decided to cease paying my BBC licence fee and so today I terminated my direct debit. Up until this debacle I was a staunch defender of the BBC, but not any longer.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)
On Squeezebox Radio my HLS streams, via LMS, are still working. As previously noted, using Triode's 'BBC iPlayer' plug-in, the 'Listen Again' is returning a message 'Can't open file ...' but proceeds to 'play' a silent file. Looking at 'More Information' shows it has defaulted to my lowest priority WMA format and has bypassed the AAC formats, which are now also non-existent. Trying BBC 'iPlayer Extras' also resulted in broken streams for the first dozen or so I tried. However a few are still working. For example, as of 21:30 GMT, I found: 'BBC iPlayer Extras/Radio 4 A-Z/H programs/Happy Birthday, Neptune' played normally although it took a long time to load. The file formal was confirmed as AAC 128kbps. Make what you will of this. I suspect it will be only a matter of time before the BBC breaks these to. rmgalley's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=54573 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

I suspect your complaint will get the same bland response some of us have had before. I also have tried again even though I know it is a waste of time. I have also sent emails to Mr Hall and Mr Scott, no doubt with zero response. My feelings about the license fee are, for the very first time, changing. A private company wouldn't get away with this sort of unannounced change. They'd get people to pay to stay compatible, but wouldn't just drop them with no recourse. My only solution now is to use my laptop to select the listen again feed and play it to my null device, and stream that using vlc to squeezebox.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)
The BBC have changed the XML that supplies the meta data for the listen again streams. This has broken this plugin. Code: http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/5/redir/version/2.0/vpid/b054pj65/mediaset/audio-syndication/proto/http This breaks the Iplayer app in 2 ways 1. It only supplies the HLS streams 2. the "redir" part means it supplies it supplies it as a redirect (for browsers) not as direct response Coincidentally (or not) this is the format that Pure uses on its "the lounge" website. (Read into that what you will) Anyway, the RTMP streams still work and you can hack the app to make it work again quite easily. However, it needs somebody to actually create a properly maintained version, as it is actually broken now. expectingtofly's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63263 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

I don't know if this is a pure coincidence, but when I tried Listen Again (as with everyone else, getting nothing playing) Little Snitch (program that blocks outgoing connections until they are authorised) reported that Perl was trying to connect to zdnet.com and (on another try) to quantservere.com. Can't see why trying to play a radio stream should want a connection there, but I wasn't knowingly doing anything else involving perl at the time. Sometimes Little Snitch has blocked a genuine connection (on the macromedia port 1935) and the stream only started playing when I allowed this. danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 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

Listen Again dead here too (tried Radio 3 yesterday). We probably shouldn't have told the BBC we were using RTMP, they might have forgotten about it and left it running for longer. So even if we get HLS Listen Again working, it seems there's no 320kbps AAC for Radio 3? (based on previous posts). If that's the case it's back to recording Radio 3 on my Freeview PVR, it sounds a bit better than 128kbps AAC.
