Yeah, sorry - I never saw this, I don't usually ignore posts. Seems to
work OK for me too. I guess wait and see if re-occurs?

To see why the click actions don't work, you'd need to add some debug to
browse-resp.js - as I'm guessing the code in there is marking the item
as a non-clickable type.

(I'm also a developer (C/C++, Java, etc) but NOT a web developer)

Then its probsbly an issue with Material. Michael fixed a bug in
Material a couple of days ago (so not released yet), where Material
would send the string "undefined" for title, etc, if these were not set
- this -might- be the issue you are seeing. If so, will be fixed in next
release - or you could checkout the git/master version.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty: playback of Ogg 320 kb/s

2019-03-05 Thread mherger


Unfortunately the librespot library Spotty is using does convert the
data to PCM, rather than forward the OGG stream directly. That said you
can try to disable Spotty's conversion to mp3 and/or flac. The Boom
should be able to stream PCM without transcoding. At the risk of having
interruptions due to the higher bitrate required. It's a network
stability vs. CPU load trade-off. But give it a try anyway.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty really slow...

2019-03-05 Thread Michael Herger

It takes about 30 seconds for a track to start playing when played via
the Spotify app on Android. This is roughly the same whether played
through wired gigabit or wireless (I've tested both 2.4 and 5GHz).


What if you used the LMS Spotty interface? Any faster?

It can always be helpful to get a log file: set logging for 
plugin.spotty to INFO, try again, upload the server.log.zip

Hi slartibartfast,

It takes about 30 seconds for a track to start playing when played via
the Spotify app on Android. This is roughly the same whether played
through wired gigabit or wireless (I've tested both 2.4 and 5GHz).

If I skip a track via the app, it takes 12-15 seconds to start playing.
Pausing a track is almost instant.

Without your plugin, the more information screen is not clickable and
there is no such browsing at all.

Anyway, I was advised to check the behaviour on the default skin and
here it works flawlessly, so maybe there's something with the other
plugin.

Strangely enough, it works OK with the default skin. No problems.

On the material skin it's only "Add to favourites" and "More" in the

Could be worth enabling logging to see if there's anything obvious when
you get pops and crackles.  Could it be buffer underruns?  You could

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread

2019-03-05 Thread JensD


Hi,

I love iPeng and use it on both on iPhone and iPad.

For the iPhone app there is something that puzzles me. I hear often a
random title mix. When I start editing the playlist, e.g. remove songs,
after a short while the playlist becomes confused. Sometimes it
indicates the wrong song that is played, often it shows two identical
songs at the end of the playlist, from which one is another song. The
song view is always right. And it never happens on the iPad.

Has one of you seen that behavior and can help?

/Jens

To test today - "with difficulty" as there is no good example
available.

Which said, 'Composer of the Week', a brand, currently has a series
within it, 'Witold Lutoslawski (1913-1994)'. Which would display the
problem if the menu was using the series as its top level instead of the
brand.

It was that that reminded me about the patch, so I tidied it up and
re-tested it this pm.

The test requires a temporary modification to BBCXMLParser to prevent it
from using the 'brand' key. Which done, it did reproduce the issue that
I had previously encountered.

If you do want to test:


Code:


  if($entry->{'brand'} ) { $key = $entry->{'brand'};  $filter{$key} = 
"?filter:brand=$key";  }
  -->
  if(0) { $key = $entry->{'brand'};  $filter{$key} = "?filter:brand=$key";  
}
  



I'm using dash streams at the moment, so hadn't noticed any other
changes...

No. But in order to figure out whether the menu issue is related to this 
plugin or not, just uninstall it (settings will be saved). Try without. 
if the issue remains, then it's not this plugin (which I'm pretty sure 
will be the case).

First of all, check with the default web UI. Does this have the same
info? Clicking on the 'M' icon in the default web UI's queue should
provide the same info as selecting 'More' from a track's context menu in
the queue with Material. (And this should be the same as clicking the
"(...)" icon).

To me, the info list looks the same as always - and I have the latest
version of each.

(Noticed a slight oddity with Material - selecting "More" from the queue
shows current cover as background to info list, but "(...)" does not...)

As you say - it seems like oly very few people use it.  I'll add it in

I also have to update the MP3 URLs as BBC seems to have created UK and

There is caching of feeds but on LMS. So if you get a HTTP error (e.g.
40x, 50x)  - the error will be cached and refreshed if you try every few
minutes.

If the fetch works but there are missing or unplayable programs - the
issue is the BBC and management of data feeds.

The BBCiPlayer and BBCiPlayerExtra plugins do not look for podcast (MP3)
but the broadcast programs (AAC) which for UK listeners have higher
quality. Some program BBCionly make the podcast available.

The BBCiPlayer plugin menu which has 7 days is a XML feed for 3rd
parties and I think it is refreshed only 3-4 times during the day (and I
think not at night) . So a program broadcast at 1.00pm may not appear
until about 5 or 6pm.

BBCiPlayer Extra plugin main menus  (e.g. category, A-Z) gets their
contents from another feed (which was supposed to be cut off by BBC last
year )  and tends to be update a lot quicker and have 30 daysprograsm
(and sometime a bit more)

BBCiPlayerEXtra plugin also had a Podcast menu which parses and sorts
BBC Podcast feeds so make it easier to find BBC podcast programs - some
of which do not appear in othe plugin menus as they are web broadcast or
podcast only.

The BBC make it so simple !

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Music & Artist Information plugin

2019-03-05 Thread glorifyday


Is there any easy way to downgrade the plugin to its previous version?

I am using the 'material skin' and the 'music and artist information'
plugins. As I stated some day on this forum, I am mostly using
Logitech-bundled Tidal app for LMS.

The combo of these plugins gave me a very useful way of browsing Tidal.
On a now-playing screen I would choose the "i" icon, then click on
"(...)" (or something like that) and then I had the track info with
clickable categories. Then I could click on the artist, for instance,
and Tidal app would list the artist's albums. Then I could play them,
add to queue, etc. This was a very nice browsing functionality. The more
useful because the Tidal app is not particularly user friendly in terms
of music searching and browsing.

I updated both plugins to newest versions and some functionality is
gone. Starting from now-playing screen I can still tap-browse to all
artist's records, but then the context menu for each listed item was
dramatically cut. I can "add to favourites" and do one more thing, I
cannot remember what... anyway nothing I need.

Hi there, after updating the plugin I report, that autoscrolling to a

The only imperfection is that sometimes the editbox is obscured at the

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Best player for macOS, for remote connections

2019-03-05 Thread richboyce


Hi all,

I'm looking for the best player to run on my Mac at work, connecting
through an SSH tunnel to my squeezebox server at home. I've tried a few
options and I'm not entirely happy with what I've done with any of
them:

The SSH tunnel forwards 9000 and 3483 to my home machine. I've verified
it's working by going to http://127.0.0.1:9000/ and controlling LMS. My
Mac is running 10.14.3. My squeezebox server is a raspberry pi 3b+
running Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.1. 

Squeezelite v1.9.1-1130 - Connects fine, works well, is stable - but in
the default configuration I have lots of pops and crackles when mousing
about certain things (browsers are bad for this!) typing and changing
desktops. Very odd, doesn't happen with any other players.

Softsqueeze 3.9.2 - Connects fine (even better that it has a built-in
SSH tunnel), works well, audio is clean - but isn't stable. Crashes when
pausing/playing, skipping tracks, or setting the playing point to
somewhere in the middle of the track. Occasionally causes the squeezebox
server to crash when it does - something to do with RAM utilisation of
the LMS process skyrocketing.

SqueezePlay 7.8.0r328 - Can't connect via the SSH tunnel

Any advice here? I'd be happy using Squeezelite if the audio issues can
be resolved.

Thanks in advance!
Rich
