Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: UPnPBridge = integrate UPnP/DLNA players with LMS (squeeze2upnp)
Hi - I am having trouble installing squeeze2upnp on the LMS server running on my Netgear NAS which is version 7.7.5. Can someone please point me to the step by step instructions. I am able to run the DLNA/UPnP client v1 though, but want to run the this version as I read it is much better and stable. I plan to control using Yamaha Musiccast App from my iPhone.

Yes, this has always been true for the Microsoft Store version, because there is no other way to do it. As a Microsoft Store App, the app runs in a semi-virtualized container, which is one of the reasons you can consider Microsoft Store Apps safer, among other reasons. The app cannot write to the common places a traditional app can. It cannot even write to the user portion of the actual Windows Registry, or common folder areas like the normal Windows temp folder. It cannot even write to its own folder. It can't have admin privileges. What it does instead is it creates its own virtual copy of the registry and O/S file structure and uses that. So anything it writes is not visible outside its own container. What that means is that I cannot change anything in the OS from the application itself that would make SLX startup or not startup automatically, because the operating system would not be able to see it. It has to be done as part of the application store manifest file the Store installer uses so that the Windows Store installer can do it because it has special privileges that apps don't. "The SLX task bar icon flashes when I exit Sleep..." I am seeing this as well, have not figured out why, though I have some theories. I'll investigate this. "after waking up, coudn't find its own player..." I see this sometimes. This is tricky, because when the computer wakes up, individual applications and threads start back up in a somewhat random order. There is no guarantee that the squeezelite-win app has resumed and reconnected to the server, which by this time has forgotten it. So until it does a client connect from the player, LMS will pick a different player. I plan on digging deeper into this. I either have to delay SLX until I can confirm squeezelite-win should and has resumed, and has reconnected to the server, or reset the player after it has resumed. (I'm leaning towards the first approach.) As always, thanks for speaking up and taking the time to contribute your experiences, use cases, and ideas.

I wish I could say, "no assembly or tools required", but requiring LMS pretty much means anyone wanting to use SLX can handle it if they can handle LMS in the first place. I've tried to make it as simple as possible. Are you a new user? And are you using the "traditional/legacy" installer or installing from the Microsoft Store? Anyway, I hope you like it. If you do have any issues or problems or ideas for improvements, this is the place. This is approximately the one-year anniversary of Squeezelite-X 1.0 on the Microsoft Store. Surprising to me is that the rate of new user acquisitions on the Microsoft Store has not leveled out or dropped over time. I have no idea how many Logitech Media Server users there are out there. I wonder if it is actually increasing. I have seen an increase in the SLX acquisition rate from, going from roughly 50/week first half of year, then increasing to about 70/week starting in July, then ramping up noticeably in Nov-Dec, which coincides with the publishing of the Material Skin (by Craig Drummond) and me building in support to SLX.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Squeezelite-X
I'm probably one of the few not running this in the background, so should mention the following: * SLX is installing itself as a Startup item as of 2.0.7. I hadn't noticed that before updating today, though I don't restart all that often. This is easy enough to disable in Task Manager, but it would be nice to have that option in SLX itself, and not enabled by default when "Run in Background" is not enabled. * The SLX task bar icon flashes when I exit Sleep. * Also immediately after waking up, at least previous to 2.0.7, SLX sometimes coudn't find its own player for a little so defaulted to the next player in the list (but hasn't done that today). This is on my laptop (i7, Win 10), where I need a bit more control of audio and of the system in general. On my mini HTPC, SLX will soon be the primary app so it will be a startup item and will run in the background there.

Sure thing. 6 Squeeezebox Touch players, all connecting via wireless bridges (Linksys). I discovered years ago that things ran better if I offloaded the wireless connectivity to an external device (and I could at the same time move the traffic to the 5Ghz band). Windows 10-64 bit server, connecting directly into router via Cat5. Control is via SB remotes, touch-screen on the devices themselves, and occasionally via web browser or app (primarily Squeezer and Squeeze Ctrl). I think I see the metadata request entries in the log you're referring to. Do you think something like Wireshark on the server might be helpful to isolate where the requests are coming from, and if so, can you provide any pointers as to what to look for?

Actually, nothing new. I found this strange workaround requiring the syncing of two radio players a year or so ago after you first solved my rtmp problem, then got busy with other stuff and did not listen to that station for a while, and forgot about the workaround. In October of this year, I received a Security advisory from QNAP that they "identified an attack that possibly exploits known vulnerabilities in earlier QTS versions", and recommending that users install Malware Remover 3.3.0 app on their NAS. I installed it and ran it, and it removed a file, but I couldn't tell what. I falsely assumed that it was related to your previous mod to the BBCiPlayer. So later when I tried again playing that Radio Cairo rtmp stream and it failed I made the wrong connection, and asked your help again. In effect nothing had changed; the remaining problem was the same, namely the weird need to sync both radio players for either one to play. bpa wrote: > The rtmp:// URL you use for LMS seems to have many additional spaces - > for example at the streamname param between the "Z" and "X" > "streamname=bGl2Z XN0cmVhbQ" > > Please double check that these spaces are not in your LMS favorite. Indeed there were spaces. I removed them and that made no difference. For the record, while I refer here to a single ERTU radio station, I had in fact created favorites in my LMS to several of the other ERTU stations (in Arabic) that all behave in the same manner. bpa wrote: > So I think the problem is in the network either your end or the station > end - "connection reset by local host" usually means data lost on > network conjnection which is not good on a TCP/IP connection.

Hi, sounds like the shell scripts are not executing or executing properly. That is why you're not getting anything queued up. So to test open a shell in your HA instance and: goto the /config/shell directory execute the following command: `bash qry_alb.sh _supertramp _breakfast_in_america' review the result, it should find the artist and album and post the results into the HA sensors. Please send the result to my email yl...@vianet.ca. If that worked properly, then it's an issue with the path calling the scripts or possible the scripts can't be executed. (chmod 777). The next step would be to ensure the path to the scripts is OK in the configuration.yaml file. Also please include the result of pwd command when you are in your shell directory so I can see the exact path. As for the GUI, those are additional entry for more players. Some users have up to 10 players they want to be able to sync.
