Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)
I'm somewhat of a novice when it comes to Linux and have been trying to get this up and running on my x86 (Atom-based) Ubuntu PC (running 18.04). I'm trying to get my LMS server to stream from my DLNA server to a Chromecast (and ultimately hoping to get some voice control from the Google Home Mini set up). I was able to get initial playback more or less working by disabling the firewall, setting my DLNA server to convert all files to FLAC and then streaming to one of my Google Home Minis. However, I'd prefer for the firewall to be enabled. Just passing thru port 49152 doesn't work - also tried setting up a range of 49152:49202 but that didn't work either. Any idea which ports specifically I need to pass through? Also, I had read earlier that LMS had a way to read / index the contents of a DLNA server and allow for searching that server but that doesn't seem to be the case, at least in the more recent versions. Presumably will make it problematic for voice control if I can't get that working, I would assume. Not really related to this thread then but if someone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

I think the AlienBBC approach is not directly applicable as its protocol handler for RTSP was based on handling a TCP connection where I think spotty uses LMS http handling. I think it may be best to go along with socketwrapper mods. Looking at the code the suggested mod seems OK - only area I am worried is with more than 2 exe's (i.e. not typical faad/flac ) I've tested watchdog with a "I" convert.conf rules (stream from stdin) and it is OK although a bit slower. I've still to do a "R" rules (stream from an URL) to make most normal cases are still ok. I didn't test the #PIPE# construct as I don't know any plugin which uses it anymore or any transcoding type application which may require it. The rarer case of 3 exes (e.g. AAC to a older SB player which has bit rate limiting, Brutfir on some other transcoding) also remains to be tested. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110455 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Squeezelite-X
I bought a Surface Go, so now I can start discovering and working on issues related to running on a Surface with its touch interface as well as issues related to Windows S Mode. Although SLX passes Windows S Mode code integrity tests I can run, and it passes Microsoft Store validation, and you can install it from the Store onto a device running Windows in S Mode, it does not run perfectly on a surface in S mode. First, the squeezelite player fails to run, and keeps trying and trying indefinitely. I also notice that calls to the audio library (portaudio) fail, which may explain why squeezelite does not run, since it relies on portaudio. I have no idea if I'll be able to make this work in S Mode, so until I do I will probably need to detect the condition and disable squeezelite if appropriate, limited SLX to controller only mode in that case. I hope to be able to address any issues with the touch interface as well.

The MS Store validation process does not let you mess up the numbering. .24 has not been published yet as I write this. The resize bug in .23 happens only when SLX is minimized and you restoring by clicking on the tray icon (as opposed to the taslbar icon). so, right, if not running in background you won't see it.

Since this version lms is blocked (web-interface) and not responding anymore. Your postings are rather confusing. Once it's "since the beginning", then it's "since this version".

Hi Michael, spotty.exe 2.8.7 crashes constantly on LMS 7.9.1 This is happening all the time (also before with older versions), but now renders lms unusable (before i just got the error messages but spotty/spotify was working fine). The problem is described in detail here -> https://github.com/kodi-community-addons/plugin.audio.spotify/issues/80 ... in my case for win7x64 without kodi Would you mind to take a look? Well... there's not much to look at. That discussion over at Kodi's is from last year. I don't know how they're integrating with Spotty, or whether they build their own. Therefore this is rather irrelevant here. Are you even using Kodi? When do you get the crash?

Bug fix release. Main changes: - Fix mobile bottom nav layout with Firefox. - Supply album sort when using add-all/play-all - so albums are added in the order shown. Requires LMS from 1st Nov - not sure if its in the current nightly build or not. - Don't show composer if it's the same as artist. - Allow starting a new search from search results list. - Fix HTML rendering for biographies, reviews, etc. when called from 'More' menu. - Fix swipe to change now-playing info tabs on mobile layout. - Fix references to classic skin modification CSS files in releases.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] is squeezelite a "memory" player...
It was just interesting the various well known contributors on some non-slimdevices forums suggested such a wide disparity in squeezelite buffer size. Maybe the reason for the discrepancy is rather simple: it doesn't really matter. I've been in touch with one of the "give it all the memory you can afford" section - because they were having problems with the playback. Some people seem to prefer discussing numbers over listening to the music. I prefer the music.
