The peel modules in the Lyrics Folder of the MAI plug-in.
I was wondering if I could use the modules outside of LMS


No, they're using LMS specific code.

The source I have been using to obtain NFL scores has changed and I have
yet to figure out how to fix it or find another source.  Until I do you
will need to leave the NFL team selections empty to prevent the error
from being logged.

PS - I wasn't sure anyone besides me was using the NFL scores feature of
SDT since it took until week 3 of the season to report the problem. 
I'll do my best to rectify the issue.

Thanks philippe_44, yes that helps.

That reminds me, in the debug logs, it appears the bridge is not
offering wav as an option to the upstream LMS server.  

I see this with both LMS 8 as upstream and with Roon as upstream LMS
server.  I am using 1.40.9 in both cases (with LMS 8 and with Roon), I
have regenerated the config xml which now includes wav in the common
sections codecs list, and my UPnP player is reporting it supports wav. 
I tried overriding the codecs in the player's config section by adding
+wav, and I also tried adding audio/wav to forced mimetypes, and yet I
don't see wav offered to the upstream LMS server.

aac,ogg,ops,ogf,flc,alc,wav,aif,pcm,mp3

It's a bug.  Bugs means behaviour is not correct. 
The SB3 UI is a special case and has a special display function loaded
for BBCiPlayer.  The SB3 UI needs two special variable to be setup for 2
lines of text.
In the rewrite I made the code more readable/maintainable and obviously
these variables are not set up correctly in all circumstances.

It's a long post so I won't quote t but here are a few informations wrt
what the bridge do and Roon

- In short, the bridge does transcoding only if configured to using the

updated on the fly. But there is *no* decoding of audio in "thru" mode.

transcoding on his side. Information like maximum sampe size is not
provided.
- In "thru" mode, the codecs set in  are what it is reported to
LMS as supported codec, pending that the UPnP side of the player claims
to support them. When doing transcoding,  are what's reported to
LMS pending successful loading of the  codec libraries (-static versions

resampling
- Roon does not emulate some part of a LMS server and especially does
not respond to the bridge query for metadata and that explains why you
don't see anything. There is an alternative to get metadata that is
supported by Roon, but this is not the one I've chosen to use and it's
an important work to do the change.

I did some more experimenting over the weekend and answered some of my
own questions.  I set up LMS 8 on another server, also running 1.40.9
version of the bridge plugin so I can compare what I'm seeing with the
bridge and Roon as the upstream LMS server versus the behaviour of the
bridge with regular LMS.

My observations using regular LMS and the bridge configured for passthru
show the bridge is behaving consistently when comparing the bridge's
logs with Roon as the upstream LMS.  When LMS is offering a codec the
bridge knows it can passthru, the bridge's log entries around the
upstream codec and the subsequent behaviour of the bridge with regard to
processing or resampling are consistent with bridge logs when used with
the Roon LMS as upstream.  I think this confirms that the bridge is
behaving in passthru mode when Roon is the upstream LMS server.  

I think this also confirms it is Roon that is processing any track into
PCM (or FLAC if FLAC compression is enabled in the LMS endpoint in
Roon).  However Roon doesn't report it is doing this in it's UI.  This
surprised me, because Roon typically tries to be transparent about any
manipulation of the stream so the end user knows what is happening in
every step of the chain they can see or control (which they can in this
case).  They do report that the last step in the stream is "Squeezebox
Streaming" which is Roon's LMS implementation and it is the step that
appears to be altering the stream in my observations.  The Roon UI
doesn't elaborate on this or say that this means the stream is being
transcoded to PCM (or FLAC).   Roon also has a "light" indicator if any
step in the playback chain is materially changing the stream, however it
is showing no changes when used with an LMS endpoint.  For example, if I
play an ALAC track, or a FLAC track, or WAV track, Roon reports in every
case the track is being streamed as is, ie untouched, but the bridge and
my NDX both report receiving a PCM in wav format.

I also saw this with the bridge when using LMS 8 as the upstream LMS
server, ie despite having DSDPlayer plugin in LMS configured to do DoP,
my NDX player reports the incoming stream is FLAC 176.4khz when playing
DSD64 or DSD128 tracks.  From what I can tell in the bridge's logs, the
bridge is recieving a FLAC stream from the upstream server, so it must
be LMS doing that transcoding.  I had trouble viewing the LMS transcoder
logs, so I can't confirm what the LMS server actually did.   

In either case the FLAC behaviour could be a side effect of FLAC
reporting a sample rate that differs from the actual underlying PCM data
when the given server is using DoP with FLAC instead of DoP with
PCM/wav, I'm not sure.

I found three things here:

Strange that it doesn't occur on the SB3 just because I have the webgui
open on my PC with the SB3 selected.  I.e, if I have the webgui open on
my PC and then go into the room with the SB3 and use its remote,
everything is fine when I change stations.  When I close the webgui,
it's broken again.

Anyway, the important thing is that you can recreate it!

The implementation doesn't work as you think. Plugin fetches metadata as
soon as stream is played and kept by the plugin. The metadata is given
to UI upon request by the UI as stream is playing.of program name..

However, I do see the symptoms. I think it is a bug I introduced in

Yup - I think Settings would benefit from being labelled Material Skin
(per device) settings. I'm sure it's obvs to those changing it often but
for occasional fiddlers it is confusing. Though I guess if you use a
different browser on a device or SLX) then it'll be different. Or per
interface? Bit subjective that term though ...

Somehow you read my mind about loading the development version (since
there was an appeal to test it), but I found that I was completely in

possibly it was a case of if I had to ask how, then maybe I'm not the

No worries about that. As a matter of fact your implementation seems
smoother and faster. No perceptible difference on desktop (Win 10 + FF
browser), but on my phone (PH-1 + VIA browser) the re-draws are better
structured. The library implementation seems to have a bigger delay in
sensing when to fetch and draw than your implementation, which attempts
to do the same operation more eagerly, so to speak, giving more feedback
as a result. Such eagerness may create more load on slower phones, but
it feels better then the library implementation on mine. I do have a
slower device on which to try this on, but first I'd have to dust it
off. Later.

I agree that Settings (SLX, Material Skin, and LMS) is confusing, but I
don't see that changing.  People sometimes confuse Material Skin and SLX
itself.  I definitely recommend playing with Material Skin's settings,
though, lots of good stuff in there.

Also, if you are manually updating Material Skin from the development
branch, you will often need to clear SLX's browser cache after you
update Material Skin or you might not see the changes after an update.

Aha!  I have a massive clue

Note that the following is true whether using my RPi4 server or the
Windows PC LMS I just set up to experiment on.

If I have the webui open, the SB3 displays the information.  The webui
is causing it to be fetched and the SB3 then shows it.
As soon as I close the webui, it's broken again when I select a new
station.

Normally the SB3 is the only thing connected.  I navigate using its
menus not via phone/tablet/PC etc, so there is no webui open for me.  It
used to work although I have not used it much recently so I can't say
when it broke.

If you have a boom I would expect the same behaviour (if it is the only
thing connected at the time).

Thanks.  Some answers:

I have the latest Raspberry Pi OS (as Raspbian is now called).  I only
built the RPi4 a couple of months ago but I have updated everything
today to be sure.  I have the latest version of LMS v7.9.4 and I have
uninstalled and reinstalled iPlayer v1.6.9 again today.

Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.4 - 1600144323 @ Wed Sep 16 04:15:19
CEST 2020
Hostname: raspberrypi
Server IP Address: 192.168.0.34
Server HTTP Port Number: 9000
Operating system: Debian - EN - utf8
Platform Architecture: armv7l-linux
Perl Version: 5.28.1 - arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int
Audio::Scan: 1.02
IO::Socket::SSL: 2.060
Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.58 (sqlite 3.22.0)
Total Players Recognized: 1

I tried all the main stations not just Radio 3.  I mainly use it for
4/5/6/London.

No difference if selecting from favourites or playing from the app
menu.

Re waiting for 30 seconds - doesn't matter how long you wait, the info
doesn't come up unless you press right then left to go in and out of the
options. This also fixes it if you do it instantly upon playing the
station.  The delay in settings was 15s but it was no different with 0s
or 30s, so I put it back to 15s.

Ignore my comment about jerky scrolling - iPlayer has always done this
anyway on the VFD screens. By jerky I just mean several pixels at a time
rather than smooth like when playing non-iPlayer stations or library
music.  I confused matters by mentioning it in this context, it's not
relevant.  (There are no network issues anyway.  Rpi4 is plugged into
the router at 1Gbps.  SB3 is wireless but in the same room with line of
sight and 89% strength on webui.)

I've been trying to get it working for a few days so it's also not about
being unlucky and trying when the programmes are changing.

I have just installed the latest 7.9.4 on my Windows PC as an
experiment.  Fresh install, all I did was install the repo and then the
iPlayer app, change the two settings to show on air text and bottom
line.  Went in to the Radio menu on the SB3, selected live stations.
exactly the same problem.  No difference whatsoever.  So my RPi4
installation is innocent.

My main question was actually about the manual installation of a plugin.
;-)
But that is now done. Version 'test' is running on my system.
I will report if I detect any problem.

Sure. I've just installed the development version and initial
impressions are that it's working fine on all lists, short and long.
Will report back if I encounter issues.

Thanks for that hint. Sadly, I forgot to mention my versions: YTPlugin
seems to be current (v0.122.1), LMS is at  7.9.2 - 1578996832.

I've updated my LMS to 7.9.4 nightly~1600144323 and tested again with
YT-Plugin 0.122.1 with better results! *Its working fine now!*

Thank you :cool:

You need to checkout the git repo, change to the devel branch, and
manually install. Or just use the following ZIP:

Hi Craig,

could you please provide more details on how to install the 'devel'
version of Material skin.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CDrummond/lms-material/*devel*/public.xml
has the same content as  
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CDrummond/lms-material/*master*/public.xml.

Both will download the version 1.9.1.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] ANNOUNCE: RadioNet plugin to enable playing stream from the radio.net service

2020-09-27 Thread bpa


V1.3 - Small fixes to RadioNet plugin.  Radionet plugin is available
through LMS 3rd party repository - V1.3 will become available when LMS
repo is updated.

-  After a Search - fix the "unable to parse" error when looking at page
2,3,etc of search
-  No need to restart LMS after changing country setting. Only have to
get out of Radionet menu.

Clarification on Favorite behaviour

If RadioNet Favorite is saved while playing on Touch or by "Save to
Favorites" on older SB  UI (e.g. Sb2, SB3, Transporter, Boom) - no
station icon will be saved. This is LMS issue. 

If a Radionet station has been saved as a Favorite from WebUI or
Squeezeplay/Touch/Radio/Jivelite  - then "Touch to Play" on
Squeezeplay/Radio/Touch/Jivelite will not work.  There may be an LMS
solution but if really needed now there is a workaround.

OK you got a point - that is trying to display relevant program info
with the estimated time stamp of the playing stream - it's a possibility
I didn't think of.  Usually only happens with skip back.  Usually start
delay is 15 secs but maybe if delay is set to minutes and  user is
unlucky to be always start playing the stream just when programs
starting/stopping e.g. on the hour or half hour - but then people are
creatures of habit (e.g  it's Fri 6:30 - time for the News Quiz)

This is only relevant for DASH and the audio stream and is related to
fetching a timepoint in DASH stream . Not actually waiting.

For LMS after 7.9.0,  this setting is now redundant (except maybe for
old Windows single core system ) since LMS bug was fixed.

What version of Raspbian and LMS and BBCiPlayer plugin ?
I asusme you areplaying a BBCRadio 3 live. 
How are you playing the Station - from BBCiPlayer menu ?  From a
favorites ? Other ?

SB3 players are dumb - the interface and all screen & remote activities
are done in the LMS and nothing to do with plugin so "fiddling " left
/right are just wasting time, you might as well wait & twiddle thumbs
for 30 secs.

Whn playing a live stream, the BBCiPlayer plugin first connects player
to a stream and *once* it is playing, plugin then has to go fetch "live"
program data.  This can take up to 30 secs before usable data arrives
but if there are network issues it can take longer.

Player animation should be smooth. I have a Boom with an Rpi4 and it is
smooth.  Jerky usually indicates network issues.
How is Rpi4 connected to network ?
How is SB3 connected to network ?
If SB3 uses wireless, What is the wireless signal strength for Sb3 as
reported on WebUI/Settings/Information page ?
