Hi Michael,
I do notice when I play a whole album and a song would not play! If I
play from my Spotify app, it plays!

Great Interface. I have been using it on my desktop (Linux Mint 19) for
a few days and it is now my preferred Interface. I notice that when I
choose Radio Paradise under apps and then select "Play Something
Different" nothing happens when doing this from the web interface. Sorry
if this has already been covered but there appears to be 73 pages of
posts for this plugin which is amazing as the plugin has only been
introduced a short time ago. Kudos to the developer.

Thanks for that, too. I thought I had seen some references to database

Many, many thanks for this! I probably don't know enough to make use of
your suggestion yet, but I'll certainly see if my heavy-handed cut and
paste efforts can make it work. But know that it's possible should be
the inspiration I need to learn how to make it work. Something like this

Yes - it's not processor power related - it's simply Windows and
socketwrapper. I am hoping it is a bug related to the fact now that
multiple cores are commonplace especially in i7 processors -
socketwrapper creates mulitple threads and processes but it was written
when one or two cores were the norm and usually Windows stuff used at
least one core.  Alternatively it could be a Windows thing -
socketwrapper is a commandline app and MS changed cmd.exe to cohost.exe
in Win7 with more changes in 8/10 as well as some other internal
scheduler/protection changes - I could end up looking for a badly
documented bit setting on some API call.

A few years ago, it took months to find a bug the last time I looked at
socketwrapper - I'm not eager to start looking again - the whole
development & test environment required is just painful.

It's a XS35GS V3 with an Intel® Atom™ Processor D2700 2 cores 32 bit.

Seconds to delay start was set at 15 and that was how long it took to
hear music.

I tried all the settings below this and none reduced the time to hearing
the programme playback (but I was not aware of, or consider the cache
effect).

I'm now using

Mine is probably a rather older processor and i3 not i7 but similar
otherwise.

I get a delay on start (15 sec) but then (at least on my 4 minute
setting) I was getting a "rebuffering" event every few minutes.  These
would take 15 seconds (maybe) to restart and then it would get going
again.

It's not impossible that there was something networky going on: but my
server is wired to my router and I have very good broadband, so it
wasn't anything obvious.

I'll run some tests when I get a chance, bearing in mind bpa's caching
information.

Celeron - how many cores ?

What do you mean by "delay"   - the setting value or the time taken
before audio is heard after pressing play ?
I expect a significant delay setting is needed (e.g. 30 sec - 1 minute) 
but if followed by another 15 sec before audio - that is not expected.

For a problematic Windows system a delay setting of 15 secs is usually
not enough.

Ah I'll reset to 3 mins and then try it later.

I did, earlier today try 4 mins and that still took 15 secs or so to
start playing but it was 3 mins behind the live broadcast.

That was before i read your comments about the cache expiring. 

I have previously run Win 7 and Win 8 Pro which did provide remote
connection, wasapi for the audio  and some video network/playback stuff
(honestly. I can't remember).

I just took the free upgrade.

OK similar to my new system.  I get no audio  (i.e. no connection) if
delay is zero - but if delay is say 3 minutes s specified - it starts
immediately.  No problem on my Win7 laptop.
Windows is weird.

I don't know how Pro is different to Home  - any security s/w ?

This thread is dead, it refers the 1.3.x and should not be used for
anything and I tend to ignore it.

Please open a separate thread for your own special application to
continue this conversation as I cannot remember off hand what it is
about.

Old version of the BBCiplayer plugin will disappear - so I cannot
guarantee support for old version.  V2.1.0 of the BBCIplayer plugin is
the latest. Use this URL.
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/betarelease-repo.xml

Changes to RTMP between version cannot be guaranteed but since the RTMP
code is not being maintained I doubt if the problem is with the
BBCiPlayer.

Have you compared the URLs of your station to see if they have changed ?


Please please - start a new thread of your own..

[SlimDevices: Plugins] ANNOUNCE: Line-In Button Applet for Radio

2018-12-10 Thread indifference_engine


I have created a small applet to allow the Squeezebox Radio Line Input
to be selected by holding the Home or Sleep buttons on either the device
itself, or using the remote.

Installation:
Add my repository to the bottom of the Plugins section of the LMS
Settings screen
http://www2.woodbine.me.uk/squeezebox/repo/repo.xml

On the Radio, go to Settings>Advanced>Applet Installer
Ensure "Recommended Applets Only" is not checked.
Select "Line-In Button"
Restart the radio

Usage:
Hold down the Home or Sleep button on the device or remote for a couple
of seconds and the Line-In should be selected.

Enjoy!

In the last few days I've had the wrong artwork being shown for radio
stations after switching from other stations. 

Having played a particular station and then closed that and chosen
another one, the correct artwork for the new station is shown. After a
few tracks on the new station have been played (where the tracks
themselves have artwork shown), when it switches back to what should be
the default artwork for that station, the previous station's artwork
from earlier is shown. Hope this makes sense.

No idea whether this is a Material problem or is related to LMS itself.

FOR INFO;

here in the UK,

Desktop Windows Pro 10 Version 1803 OS build 17134.407

Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.2 - 1543258616 @ Mon Nov 26 20:08:12

I have tried all the settings for 'Seconds to Delay' between No delay
and 15 seconds.

Sound consistently  starts playing 13/15 secs after start, regardless of
settings. Buffer is 255.

I just leave it set on "no delay":)

Since you are in the UK with higher bitrate (assuming the Setting is
"use highest rate" )  the buffer threshold can be set lower say 100 buit
as I said before caching can affect things bigtime - so if testing with
lots of changes use a different live stream for each setting change. 
After 5 changes stop and wait for a few hours or stop LMS and delete
caches.

Ahh - OK so all I know really is that I changed it from 4 to 5 minutes

Ok thanks.  It seems to be working kind of OK at the minute with the 5
minute setting but I might try MP3 - I don't use the skip back much.

Nothing significantly changed in DASH handling - so regards problem
coming back - that is just coincidence.

Changing the values and testing is not necessarily the best strategy as
LMS/Windows does caching so a "good" setting now after a lot of quick
tweaks may be "bad" in a few hours when caches expire.  Detaisl also
help.
Are you in the UK ?
What type of player are you using ?
What is the "Live stream preference" setting
What is the "Buffer threshold" setting

The delay issue is perculiar to Windows 10 (possibly 8 as well) and for
player that need transcoding.  It seems to affect high end system (e.g.
Desktop Core i5/i7 8-16Mb).  A similar issue affects v. low end/old
(single/dual core Celeron) system which may be the same issue.  

LMS has a support application socketwrapper which is used for
transcoding - my theory is that MS changed the kernel processor
scheduling in Windows 10 which has caused some blocking. The alternative
is some form of security s/w probing is blocking socketwrapper. As I
only had a WIn7 system, I could not reproduce this problem.  In the 2
weeks, I now have had to get a Win10 system which means I might be able
to reproduce in the near future.

For now, my advice is as follows:
1. If you need "skip back" then use the DASH streams - start delay
shouldn't matter if you skipback.
2. If you just want Live Radio - play the MP3 streams with 1.6.1 -
depending on the player type - you should have all the metadata.

Would definitely like more "eye candy" in landscape mode when viewing
the "now playing" info.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBCiPlayer V1.6 (and higher) & BBCiPlayerExtra 2.0 (and higher) Support

2018-12-10 Thread bstrulo


Can I just start by saying how grateful I am to bpa for maintaining the
iPlayer plugin: it makes a huge difference to me, and I'm sure many many
other people.

I recently upgraded to the latest Logitech Media Server (Version: 7.9.2
- 1543258616 @ Mon Nov 26 20:08:12 WEST 2018) from one that was a little
bit older but not very old (a version of 7.9.1 I think).  I'm running on
a quite powerful Windows 10 server.

Before, I had an issue with the BBC Radio 4 live streams where they kept
rebuffering.  I fixed it by setting the "Seconds to delay start live
stream" to 4 minutes.

With the new version the problem came back.  I've changed the setting to
5 minutes and it seems to be OK: rebuffering now fairly rare - though it
still sometimes does a short one.  But I'm wondering if there's
something else I can fix?  5 minutes seems quite a long time.  Another
oddity: in the web interface (which sometimes (?) shows the delay) the
delay seems to sometimes give numbers less than 5 minutes (maybe 1 or 2
minutes) and a bit variable, which seems odd.  The actual delay does
seem to be about 5 minutes - maybe a little bit longer.

Since it's working this is not necessarily a problem - but it would be
nice (if possible) to reduce the delay a little.
