Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty App not visible on the browser LMS GUI

Hello garrym,

Spotty is gone. A restart of LMS did not solve the trick. Even
reinstalling Spotty did not help.

That would be a server-side change right now. This whole menu is
server-generated, not created by iPeng.

Yes, this is the condition I was thinking of, too.  I will take the steps
you suggested to verify that is the case, though. If that is the case, how
would we solve it? This is where I thought a queue might come in handy -
listen to requests that came in while the notification was playing and
repeat them once we restore, but maybe theres a better way?

When you say "it would block the server", would that mean the entirety of
the server, including playback and all that or just whatever thread
handles commands? Cause I would be okay with that part being frozen during
the announcement if that's the easiest way out of this race condition.

can't recall exactly, but in the past there were some apps (BBC and
others, maybe Spotty) that had some options on where they showed up in
the menu (one option was under "Radio" rather than under "my apps").  
Not sure about Spotty, but figured it was worth looking just in case.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] LMS Noixer - ambient noise mixer

2021-10-13 Thread Roland0


A plugin / helper application for generating / playing ambient noise.  
Heavily inspired by 'Noixer' (https://github.com/abetusk/noixer), which
has an' online version' (https://abetusk.github.io/noixer) illustrating
the concept and the results.

More information on the 'homepage'
(https://www.nexus0.net/pub/sw/lmsnoixer/).

since LMS can only process one http GET at a time, it will queue in any
case. However, the plugin will return from the call as soon as the
announcement starts to play (otherwise, it would block the server)
See also the previous posts on this page for related info.

I suspect the race condition is
- rhasspy sends "announce" command
- plugin saves player state (paused) and returns
- rhasspy sends "play" command
- plugin finished announcement and restored player state (paused)

to test: 
- check in which order the "announce" and "play" calls are sent by
rhasspy
- check in which order the "announce" and "play" calls are received /
processed by LMS
- switch the plugin's log level to debug, and check the log for:

Code:

Plugins::LMSannounce::Plugin::playlistStoppedCallback (267) 
playlistStoppedCallback: playerid=XXX tmppls=tempplaylist_XXX 
time=180.657458284378 power=1 mode=pause

I don't think it is necessary to do that for this app. Look at the
Squeeze Ctrl options under "Preferences->Dock, Charging & Stay Awake".

The answer is "no" to both. Just go to Preferences->General and turn on
the "Always Connected" option. In addition, there are lots of other
options in the Preferences you might want to take a look at. Also make

This might be useful to you - the developer mode options on Android
include the ability to keep the phone awake when charging.

Go to settings, about phone. Scroll to the bottom and start tapping on
the "build number" section - after a while you will get a countdown to
unlock developer mode.

Once unlocked, choose system from settings and you'll see the developer
options (may be under 'advanced'). In there is the option to keep phone
awake when charging.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty connection - Spotty Helper app

2021-10-13 Thread ericheartsu


Hi all,
i've read through a bunch of the posts, and couldn't find an answer, so
i hope i'm not double posting a solved issue.

We've used Spotty since it was built, but i'd say every couple months
have a week or so, where we lose connection, and through sheer luck,
somehow get it re-connected. Well we've updated computers this time, and
for the life of me, i cannot get Spotty to connect. I've gone through
all the connection settings several times, but any time i try and launch
Spotty on our squeezebox Touch, it errors out. If i try and do it on the
web controller, a command prompt box pops up for about 3 seconds, then
goes away.

I suspect i'm missing the spotty helper app, but i cannot figure out
where to grab it from. 

I'm using LMS 8.2.0, and Spotty Version 4.6.2. 

Any insight as to why it wouldn't be loading the helper app, and how to
fix it?

thank you!

I've had that app for years. I'll give it a try The Chromecast
Plugin is working a lot better this time than it did last year. I
only had it screw up twice last night in about 3 hours of listening.

They make a point of playing the same track from different artists from
time to time so that the listener can compare different versions. But
not too often,

It just occurred to me that, for your purposes, you should look into
using the Squeeze Ctrl Android client app, which supports casting the
visual metadata of the currently playing track to any Chromecast device.
The app costs $5 but is well worth it for unique features such as this.
The CC display is customizable both in content and color scheme. Not to
say it's perfect. On my rather outdated and underpowered system, there
can sometimes be a noticable pause near the beginning of a hires track
as the metadata is processed. However, it's worth looking at if you have
an Android phone or tablet. I believe that there is a free trial period
if it doesn't meet your needs. Here's an example of the display on my
system:

yes it is...:)

I agree with @ab though, I have found allot of internet station's "gain
levels" inconsistent. On the louder side JB Radio, RP, Planet
Pootwaddle. Also, compared to much of my music library (I am not using
replay gain, maybe I should be...).

Jim's Juke Radio was quite low when he launched (development), don't
know if this has changed.

Maybe another perspective is that RP is at a proper gain level and
others are just lower (and JB Radio is too high). I think for me, having
to turn up the lower stations is undesirable, because I know what it
going to happen when I switch to another, say the next day, surprise!

Try 0.0.9b ... now with Europa Radio Jazz

I have had it playing while testing and I suspect someone there is going
on a trip soon or their randomiser is a bit broken
13/10/2021 12.16 - Take "A" Train - Henghel Gualdi Orchestra
13/10/2021 11.17 - Take The " A " Train - Stuff Smith
13/10/2021 10.38 - Take The " A " Train - Duke Ellington

If it works OK for you then I'll make a quick release of it so that
people without HTML::TreeBuilder and not using the beta can get an
update.

There is a 'Remote libraries' option under 'Advanced

If you have command line access to the box then you might be able to run
"top" or some other performance monitoring tool to get an idea about
what is happening.
However, if it is my plugin then I suspect all you would see if perl
using all CPU or in IOWAIT but it would not show where it is really
happening.

I just tried their iOS app ... and it has cover art.
I suspect it is getting it from Apple though.
I have not checked but there is an easy API from Apple that can be fed
artist/track and it comes back with cover art.
However, there is restrictions on its use and my first reading was that
I could not use it without providing a clearly visible link back to
Apple ... I presume for the listener to go and buy it. So I have not
done it.

I do this with pCP with a VPN back to my firewall which works well.

I have had a look at this one and I think I can do something with it.

You should already be seeing track info when LMS - or the form
Artist: Joe Williams & Count Basie Orchestra
Title: N082C037M Teach Me Tonight
I think I will be able to add the album name and also remove the first
word from the title (which I assume they are using for internal tracking
but I cannot see a reason to present it in LMS).
Plus I think I can show progress bar because they have start time and
duration.

They do not have cover art available.
I don't, for now at least, try to go out and find cover art based on
artist/track/album ... although I do think that it is something that
maybe LMS could be extended to do so that all radio handling plugins
could benefit from it. Of course, it would mean changing LMS and plugins
for it to happen.
I could call out from the plugin to get art from Discogs etc - like MAI
does but I don't really want to re-invent that. Also - there is always
the risk that incorrect art is returned - e.g. when there are 2 artist
with the same name and the image source does not know how to
differentiate based on the track/album name.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Radio Now Playing plugin

2021-10-13 Thread Paul Webster


Let's see if others report the same thing.

On startup it iterates through the stationdata files in the plugin to
ingest the configuration.
I suppose that a very very slow disk could make that take a few seconds
at most.

>From then on the station data is held in memory.
When you go to the settings page it iterates through the list of
broadcasters (in memory now) to build the set of checkboxes.
The amount of time that takes is dependent on the number of broadcasters
- not on whether or not they are enabled or disabled.
So enabling/disabling should not make any difference there.

When running it should only be memory that is consumed by having more or
less enabled broadcasters - but should not make any significant
difference to CPU time.

Sounds strange.

Paul, I've managed to install latest beta but it initially slowed down
my LMS to a crawl.

Opening the Radio Now Playing App took 15 seconds to display the
stations, and most times didn't work at all.

Similar problem getting to Settings/Plugins.

Discovered that the delay is greatly reduced when trimming the list of
stations to the ones I'm interested in.

Conclusion for me is that system slows down the more stations that are
presented in the App.

Beta 0.0.9a now available with an attempt to handle things for
installations without a working HTML::TreeBuilder
The only consequence, for now at least, is that you will not see track
details for RadioBlues Flac. In which case you should disable that
station in the plugin settings and restart LMS ... then you will get the
default from LMS ... which in this case will be the artist and track
names but no cover art.

Also added ZOG - https://zog.net.au
I added this station because it appears in a list of hi-res stations and
no track details appear when playing in LMS.

To get the details (track, artist, label and year) I do some regex
parsing of some plain text from the broadcaster's site. I'll let him
know so that, hopefully, he will keep that format unchanged (at least
via the URL I am using).
