Can you try 0.3.0.3.1 from the dev? There is one cause that is removed
and I'm asking Michael his opinion why this happens, but it still seems
to fail from time to time for a reason I don't understand - let me know

It's a songinfo query like that "songinfo 0 10 url:%s tags:cfldatgrKN".
Here is a raw response

Code:


  "id%3A-105182152 title%3ASnake%20Song coverid%3A-105182152 
album%3APoet%20-%20a%20tribute%20to%20Townes%20Van%20Zandt duration%3A149000 
artist%3AEmmylou%20Harris bitrate%3A737k%20VBR%20FLAC

I've seen that in flac mode, RP groups songs by chunks, but the value I
got returned is always between 10 and 30 (and seems random). I
don't know if I make the query too early or what, I do it after LMS has
send a "strms" (play). it never happened before with my bridges and
on-line streaming and here it's systematic. 

The fact that a track is grouped by 3 tracks is fine, as long as the
duration is correct, I will still hold the STMd acknoledgement the
proper amount of time.  I 'll add again the edits I did to my first post
as I know you use an email aggregator, so you probably missed them

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Radio Paradise Lossless Streaming (Plugin v2)

2018-04-15 Thread Michael Herger

Hi - It seems that the song duration returned from CLI when using flac
is a random very large number.


How do you query it? Using "status" I would get the correct duration. It 
might be larger than expected as RP is sending groups of tracks as one 
chunk. Eg. one "track" as being played could be three actual tracks, 
totalling 10 minutes or more.


Can you give more details, exact query, what you get in return etc.?

2018-04-15 Thread philippe_44

Hi - It seems that the song duration returned from CLI when using flac
is a random very large number. Unfortunately, it is causing issue with
my CC & UPnP plugins as some internal of my squeezelite depends on that
value.

More precisely I've seen that due to the large buffering made by such
CC/UPnP players, the "end of decode" command might be sent to LMS very
early (I send it when the stream has been fully transferred to the
player). 

So the stream request for the next track might start way before the
current track finishes, and as consequence, the HTTP connection for the
next track might be stalled for a while. Unfortunately, Deezer does not
like that and closes the connection. As a workaround, I do not send the
"end of decode" untill I'm close enough to the end of the current tracK.
I don't like that hack, but Deezer gave me no option. But if the
duration is wrong, then, the end of decode is enver sent.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayerExtra v2.0

2018-04-15 Thread bpa

It is a waste of time to discuss BBC support of APIs.  They don't talk
to individuals only companies and organisations. 

The 1 May 2018 date was given in a BBC post somewhere - presumably it is
the end date of some contract BBC have with some 3rd party.  Things may
stop on 1 May 2018 or they may not so there is no point fretting about
it. If something happens at some point in the future, it may be possible
to do something sometime like last year but there is no new
information.

The schedule APIs did go away last year - the BBC hacked the Programme
API into a bodged up feed of all program data for all times into one
"file" and the Extra plugin filters and organises it and it is this feed
that may go away.

The BBC promised a replacement API called Nitro and it would be
available in Oct 2015, after many delays it now seems this effort has
died http://docs.bbcnewslabs.co.uk/Nitro.html

Essentially access to 30 days (or more for some programs) will be lost -
the BBCiPlayer uses the official vendor feed which just has 7 days of
programmes.

Ok - I did not realize that the plugin sets the length of the stream
according to 3 tracks and so on. This is a problem for castbridge as the
length is sent to the CC when the stream starts and when that length has
been received, the CC closes the connection (I had what I was
expecting). Try to remove pcm from codec list (I’m not in front of my
computer right now)

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Radio Paradise Lossless Streaming (Plugin v2)

2018-04-15 Thread Michael Herger

First, Thank you for this. It is really a very nice and well integrated
product. Everything works for me but for some reason I don't seem to be
able to match the current RP Web stream playlist with anything playing
using the V2 Flac plugin.


That's a known issue, and absolutely expected behaviour. According to 
Bill the two will always drift off. As I noted in the announcement.



Not even in the 24 hour playlist. I read that
what plays can be delayed 45 minutes. But in this case I am not matching
the playing playlist to any sequence for the past 24 hours in the RP
website playlist. I must be missing something.


That seems a bit worse than expected behaviour - unless you were 
skipping tracks quite often. That's possible on the FLAC stream, but not 
in the "real time" stream. Otherwise I'm just asking RP what to play, 
and it would tell me (or the plugin) what to play. The plugin does not 
assemble the playlist.


If it's important to you to be in sync with what is going on on RP's web 
player, then you'll have to stick with the lossy streams.

Thanks for the heads-up. Some ALAC files play, and some do not, so it
certainly seems like an encoding issue of some kind.

No playing through a direct link play for ever - virtually.

In the RP app from Michael I have 3 choices. 1 Play FLAC - 2. Play 320
kbps - 3. play 128 kbps, + PSD+ HD images

When I select FLAC it seems to buffer 3 tracks up on the "now playing"
screen in iPeng. Lest say they last 17 minutes. When the 3 tracks are
finished the app stops. And I have to press play again for 3 new tracks.
Is this by design or ?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] BBC R3 - AAC 320kbs

2018-04-15 Thread johnbeverley

Not living in the UK, I understand that I need to use a VPN to access
the BBC Radio 3 AAC 320kbs stream.

I know that the "best" solution is to configure my router - but for
complicated reasons I can't do that. So I think that the next best way
would be to configure my vpn somehere in my LMS set-up.

My question is twofold; (1) where, and, (2) how?

I'm presently using Max2Play/LMS Server on a Raspberry Pi in the "server
room" and I'm looking to enable the PiCorePlayer connected to my main
hifi in the lounge to receive the aforementioned stream.

Thanks
John
