Anyway, I've changed Spotty to 'Normal'=96kbps, and I'll see how that works this morning. (I'll wait till everyone's awake here before blasting out music from all the players at once!)

This is difficult because iPeng would have had to manually implement all the equalization and that would then also probably have to run on one of the co-processing units. That said... just because it's difficult doesn't mean it's impossible and Apple added new filter capabilities (although currently they conflict with the timing requirements iPeng has to guarantee sync), so that might come one day. It's certainly not something that will come in the short term, though, I'm afraid. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Generally, sync between different player types works but it's a question of timing. Not so much computing power but the exactness of the timing on the player. Where you need computing power is on the server side. Older RPis had very bad timing behavior, that can cause some trouble but newer ones usually work OK. What can make things more difficult is also if the different players support different file formats, if one of them doesn't support something then the server needs to start transcoding. iPeng's limits are that it doesn't support sample rates beyond 96kHz, currently no OGG/Vorbis (because that causes issues with Spotify) and iPeng uses a bigger buffer than other players which can under certain circumstances confuse the server. For the latter, iPeng has a configuration setting in the playback settings. One other thing that often causes trouble is if you stream raw WAV/PCM for lossless formats instead of FLAC (which is the default in LMS). iPeng throws that data directly at iOS but iOS sometimes guesses the sample rate wrong and that can cause all kind of weird effects. If you set your server to transcode to WAV or PCM I'd recommend against that. That's pretty much all I can think of right now in terms of problems. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Community Firmware for Squeezebox Radio/Touch/Controller and LMS 8
I'm running after recently upgrading: # cat /etc/version 202104041655 I have this LMS version: commit 8b4b6da43b9349b3dc5b87eb08b350a55f540e08 (origin/public/8.0, origin/HEAD, public/8.0) Author: Michael Herger Date: Tue Dec 22 06:57:34 2020 +0100 Do not offer direct download of player firmware if we're dealing with an https URL. Players can't handle it. Recently I've noticed streams from more than one internet source rebuffering frequently enough to be annoying, and I'm looking for help to investigate the cause. I have some data from /var/log/messages, but is this the appropriate forum for this question, or would it be preferred to use a github or gitlab issue? quietdragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10412 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113479 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Yes this is a known problem, I use rectangular images for Kodi which display fine on that but get mangled when used with LMS apps that are expecting squares. I've looked before about manipulating the image to make it square by adding a background padding top and bottom, but my Perl skills aren't up to that so remains on my todo list unfortunately. If you do make square picons it probably wouldn't look good on your TV apps so depends on what your main use case is as to whether it's worth the effort, I mainly use my Transporter which has VFD displays so no graphics to start with.

If it is, then the volume is at zero. Tbh, I'm not super worried about it as I can start the player via a cron script @reboot.
