Hello Douglas, new install and same problems, but I remembered you wrote me how to solve them and here I am again reading this old thread. This time it was trickier as I had a lirc file that got corrupted while passing from windows to debian, but at the end all was solved! I have a new question for you: since SqueezeIR is a only-controller plugin, is there any way I could tweak xml playeraction elements to trigger a script on the server? Something like Code: somescript.sh someparam I'm afraid your reply will be "no" but since I feel quite ignorant in perl I'd better ask ;) Thanks again for this last old and precious reply of yours, V virx71's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50716 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79524 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I am not in the UK and also my setup/files may be different to the OPs I put extra logging against the routine calls which use the TTL_EXPIRE value and none of them were called when playing a HLS stream. This is what I epxect as the iPlayer.pm file is concerned with getting the top level URL of a HLS/m3u8 or flash/RTMP stream from iPlayer media descriptors. The actual playing of a stream (i.e. repetitive http requests to get audio) is done in the HLS.pm or RTMP.pm files. AFAICT the call will have the effect of caching a top level URL which may be beneficial in some indirect way but I can't see it as being a proper fix. As I said before this rebuffering issue is difficult to pin down - the difficulty is that it is not predictable. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103435 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)
More BBC meddling brings me back to this excellent forum to keep my iPlayer Plugin working for Listen Again... With SUCCESS :D Thanks to BPA, Utgg et al for the ongoing support for LMS. It took me a while to trawl the thread pages to find out what to do, so I hope this summary helps others (I have copied help text from other parts of the forum, so thanks to the original authors). Please note that I run my LMS on Windows, so paths et. will differ for LINUX etc. ::*4 Steps to Listen Again with working logo icons:*:: 1) INSTALL UPDATED 'ALPHA' VERSION OF TRIODE'S BBC IPLAYER PLUGIN - VERSION V1.3.1ALPHA3 (LATEST ON 31ST MARCH 2015 INCORPORATING MANY IMPROVEMENTS OVER ALPHA2): Ref. http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?103435-BBCiPlayer-Plugins-an-alternative-quick-fix-guide - Go to the Settings, Plugins page on the LMS GUI. - Go to 'Additional Repositories' near the bottom. If this is not available, there should be an option to enable third party plugins. Tick this, and press 'Apply' at bottom right. - Add the following line to the list of additional repositories: http://triodeplugins.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/testrepo.xml - Press 'Apply' at bottom right. - Restart LMS. - You should now find that either the new BBCiPlayer plugin is now already available and installed, or there is a box you can tick near the bottom of the plugins list (under "Triode's Squeezecenter Plugins (Test Versions)") to make it available on the next LMS restart. If the latter, tick it and restart LMS. 2) INSTALL UPDATED VERSION OF BPA'S BBC IPLAYER EXTRAS PLUGIN - VERSION V1.8: Ref. http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?103435-BBCiPlayer-Plugins-an-alternative-quick-fix-guide Repeat the instructions in step 1) except use the repository below, and ensure that the BBC iPlayer Extras plugin version 1.8 is selected and installed. http://bpaplugins.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/repo-short.xml The plugin will either be installed straight away after a restart, or you need to tick it against "bpa's Squeezecenter Plugins Short". 3) UTGG'S REVISED BBCXMLPARSER.PM FILE: File from (post #4058): http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?53229-Announce-BBCiPlayer-Plugin-%28UK-only%29&p=834111&viewfull=1#post834111 - Replace your existing BBCXMLParser.pm file in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Squeezebox\Cache\InstalledPlugins\Plugins\BBCiPlayer" with the one from post #4058 here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showth...ugin-(UK-only). 4) UTGG'S LOGO PATCH: File from (post #3737): http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?53229-Announce-BBCiPlayer-Plugin-%28UK-only%29&p=814578&viewfull=1#post814578 - Extract menu.opml from the zip file and replace the existing file in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Squeezebox\Cache\InstalledPlugins\Plugins\BBCiPlayer". Finally, stop and start your LMS and you're done :D See y'all again when the BBC kill the HLS streams and we are forced to use DASH streams instead...

I though I was in a similar situation (except I'm running 7.7.5 on Ubuntu 12.04LTS) and again Listen Again had, very recently, seemed to have stopped working. So this morning I've followed the steps you outlined above and I thought that Listen Again was still not working but actually, having researched this some more, it only appears to be Radio 4 Extra which is affected (and may well have been doing this before I did the re-install too as that's the main station I listen to on Listen Again). I've yet to find anything on Radio 4 Extra which will play but everything I've tried on Radio 1/1 Xtra/2/3/4/5 Live/5 Sports Extra/6 Music/Asian Network is fine. Is Radio 4 Extra encoded differently to all the others? Do I need to make a settings tweak somewhere?

Sharing info is always good. I need to look at this in more detail but AFAICT all but one uses of TTL_EXPIRE relate to the RTMP Flash protocol and not HLS. So if it is helping HLS playback - it needs to be checked that it does not cause problems for Flash (i.e. Extras plugin) playback. A more precise patch (e.g. Two different TTL_EXPIRE constants) is needed. When making a change I prefer to add instrumentation to see before and after changes and also which parts of the code are being executed. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103435 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Apologies in advance for adding to this thread but as a Windows user who has experienced dropouts since the change to HLS, I was playing around with mbg's hack at the weekend and although both Live streaming and AOD worked, the inability to re-position in AOD has significant drawbacks. What I did notice whilst looking at the iPlayer.pm file was that the TTL_EXPIRE is set to 10 so I increased it arbitrarily to 100. This seems to have solved, for me, the dropout issue. I ran a BBC Radio 2 stream on the Touch synced with Radio for over 18 hours without dropout. I also ran a BBC Radio 6 stream through the 'Squeeze2uPnP' bridge and although the stream stopped/reset itself (the time indicator in the GUI never showed more than an hours play whereas the Radio 2 time was continuous) as far as I could tell play didn't actually stop and the stream was still playing in the morning. To me this is a significant improvement because previously when streams have stopped, pressing play was required to start again.

You might want to consider running LMS on a rpi B2 or Odroid C1+ or another small form computer. You could still use the nas to hold your music files (and leave LMS on as a backup if you wish). The raspberry could be left to run all day at very little cost and would make this sort of maintenance much simpler. This would also allow LMS to be updated whenever you wished.

I think adding patches with the exisitng plugin may not be ocnsider a derived work as the majority of the code is the same and the functionality is the same. As such I think the owner of the plugin is still Triode and if the hosting access is the same (i.e. no financial reward) as currently there should be no reason for Triode to sue. The other aspect is should I host the plugin whether I am now open to litigation from say BBC or anybody else who may have a patent on some part of the code. Triode had some sort of informal "relationship" with BBC and so got technical support and gave feedback. Judging by BBC with 3rd party Apps - they seem to issue take down notices rather than litigate. Given that I already host the Extras plugin (which is not as compliant to BBC's T&Cs than BBCiPlayer) and have been open to litigation and now have to move Extra plugin host site - I shall look into hosting the BBCiPlayer plugin as well - acknowledging the Triode is still the owner/author and indicating where patches have been added. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 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 need multiroom support, I never got LMS sync to work for me and I use Dynaudio wireless speakers to achiece that. All I need is a player with live and listen again iPlayer. I'm going to try a Roku, which I have an order for TV purposes anyway.

This isn't ideal, but it's not impossible. We have a set of instructions that, as far as I know, is comprehensive and comprehensible - if not please let me know. Unless you use the BBC's own apps, LMS is about as good as you are going to get in having a system working as soon as they make changes. From my perspective LMS is very far from dropping out of support, and it can do some things that no other system can do (such as play random 'works' rather than just random 'songs'). It would help if we had a way of distributing fixes more easily, particularly for those of us who are less technically up to speed (including me), but we can't expect a group of volunteers to always be able to do this quickly. It's obviously more complicated given the original plugin author has decided to move on, and a solution to the licensing and modification issues this raises would be welcome.

Before I do, please may I ask another (niaive?) question. I there a reason why the plugin originator (utgg) could not add it to the 3rd party plugins list in LMS Settings? I seem to remember that this is how I easily applied the the plugins (from Triode and bpa) early this year when the BBC last made annoying changes.
