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

2021-11-26 Thread Paul Webster


Europa Radio Jazz appear to have changed something at their end over
night and have messed up the track titles a bit.
They usually prefix the title with some sort of identifier - like
N123A456B.
I strip that off when working out the title.
However, this changed to have a lower case "n" at the start for some
tracks ... which I can adjust things to handle ... but a bigger issue is
that they seem to have lost the first 9 characters of the track title in
some cases ... and that is the length of their identifier.
Some tracks also have a title ending in ".wav" ... 
So I suspect a string formatting issues at their end.

I have sent them an email to alert them to it.

Hopefully they will spot the problem and fix it quickly.

Last week when I was using Qobuz through the Material Skin I could view
the New Releases in Tile format. This week they are back to Listing
format with no option to switch to Tile format? Is there something I’m

It is strange - the log seems to tell that everything works fine and the
track plays normally. Do you hear anything or is this just the LMS

Redundant or futile? I don’t have Windows 11 update yet, but I did
briefly install it in a VM and , yes, I noticed the progress indication
is there but way more subtle, almost unnoticeable. Other than checking

There is, I use it all the time.

Click on a track playing from Qobuz.
Click ..., then "more..."
Scroll down and click "On Qobuz"
Click "Manage Favorites"
Save to Qobuz favorites as desired.

Try a restart of LMS and if that doesn't cure it then a reboot.

If still failing you might have to enabled debug logging in the plugin

The error message in the LMS log is this:

Using LMS 8.2.0 and the internet connection is fine.

That's too bad. I recently switched from Tidal to Qobuz and one of the
few things I miss about Tidal is that the albums by artist list was
always sorted by release date, although I don't believe it was
configurable there either.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: UPnPBridge = integrate UPnP/DLNA players with LMS (squeeze2upnp)

2021-11-26 Thread dsdreamer


Thanks, Philippe for this amazing plugin! 

Has anyone reading this used UPnPBridge with either MyTek Brooklyn
Bridge or a Bel Canto e.One (or any other device using Convers Digital's
CDMCM-2121 DLNA module)? If so, what settings worked best for you?

I am trying to optimize the settings to obtain smooth playback,
including high-res PCM and DSD64 files in my library.

Initially, tracks would play fine but would get stuck at the end and
fail to transition to the next song (in chunked mode, with gapless=yes).
I had to use gapless=force to get past that. 

But then, since I wanted to have true gapless playback, I switched to
"flow" mode, with transcoding set to "flac" at 176,400 samples per
second x 24-bits. When used with the DSDplayer plugin, and soxr quality
= high, I get acceptable sound quality from my DSD64 files. I can't use
DSD over PCM mode (DoP), since UPnPBridge is being asked to resample and
therefore won't conserve bit-true DoP formatting. 

I'd welcome any thoughts you might have on my customization choices,
especially if they could be further optimized. It would be icing on the
cake if I could get DoP working in "flow" mode to have true gapless
*and* utilize my DAC's DSD capabilities, but even wishing for such a
refinement puts me in the class of obsessive Audiophool, so no worries
if this isn't going to happen! 


Charles.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: LMS Connect - streaming Tidal/Qobuz to LMS via native Android apps

2021-11-26 Thread SamY


Just installed and set it up with my new Qobuz account. Great job!
Thanks for doing this. It fills a definite need for me as another tool
in the box. I can now find an interesting Hi-res release in Qobuz and,
with one click, send it to LMS where the Denon plugin automatically
powers on my AVR, sets its input to my DAC player, and starts playing it
in all its 24-bit glory. And, if I like what I hear, I can quickly add
it to my Qobuz favorites and thus my LMS library. It would still be nice
if there was a way to add an artist or album to the Qobuz favorites from
an LMS client via the plugin but this method allows full access to all
the features of the Qobuz app, which is even better. Thanks again!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] 'MediaServer' *certified* Alexa skill for LMS

2021-11-26 Thread philchillbill

36260


Version 5.0 of MediaServer is now live and automatically deployed when
you use the skill. The Amazon app will -not -list it as updated as there
were no changes to the voice model — however, there are many, many
changes to the code:

* First off, most *spoken responses* are quite a bit *shorter*. For
example, if you ask to play something that targets the assumed player,
the response no longer mentions "... on the bla bla player" since that's
pretty implicit. Playback/stream responses now usually start with a
verb, and superfluous information is skipped (e.g. if an album name
includes the artist's name — Bob Seger's Greatest Hits — there's not
much point in saying that it's  "... by Bob Seger".

* It can take anything from 300ms to 3 seconds to start up the
/stream.mp3 network client in LMS. That is a blocking delay because the
playlist cannot be queued until the player is created. The spoken
response from Alexa (which also blocks your audio from starting because
it has to finish before the music starts) is now sent *asynchronously
*so that your hear the speech while the player is still being created in
parallel. This makes streaming much snappier.

* The *ListFavorites *command(s) now show the favorite number and the
associated dotted-ID (in addition to the favorite-name) on Echos with
screens. In the screenshot above, the favorite number is in orange, the
dotted notation is in blue, while unplayable items such as folders are
dimmed with a red strikethru over the notation.

* There's a new *sorting rule* for favorites (still based on the default
skin), whereby nested folders are exhaustively extracted before popping
back up a level to the next item there. This provides consistency up to
1000 items per nested folder and makes the numbering 100% predictable.
When counting favorites manually, as soon as you see a folder, go into
it and keep counting everything there (and below!) before moving back
upwards in the hierarchy. It'll be obvious on your Echo's screen.

* Asking to *play a song by name* now first queues the oldest match in
your library with the shortest name, which is usually the *original*.
Say you have 10 versions of 'Valerie' by Steve Winwood, where 5 are
called just 'Valerie', 2 are called 'Valerie (Radio Edit)', one is
called 'Valerie (Extended Mix)', and 2 are called 'Valerie (Live)'. The
original 'Valerie' from Talking Back to the Night will play first. Next,
one each of the Live, Extended and Radio Edit will be randomly selected
and those 3 will be auto-shuffled. Meaning that 4 tracks will be queued.
So the version you are probably after will always play first rather than
a Live or Remix variant. Player shuffle being active -will -override
this as the -original-first-and-then-Fisher-Yates-shuffle- is actually
done by the skill and not LMS (it queues an array of track_id's).

* Play/Stream *song-index-from-album* now only queues the track in
question, rather than first loading the whole album it's from and
jumping to that track. This results in artwork on Echos while streaming
because that makes sense in the context of a single track.

* Play/stream *playlist *commands have the same asynchronous speech as
mentioned above for network clients, as they can also take noticeably
longer before LMS processes them.

* Playback commands that* match many artists* (e.g. play something by
'Bob' while forgetting to add 'Dylan' or 'Seger') will now show all the
matched artist names on your Echo's screen to help you narrow things
down.

* Album/Song mismatches between *requested/actual artist* will now
display results with coverart on your screen to help guide your choice.
If you ask to play the album 'Abacab' by 'The Beatles' you'll see the
retrieved cover art and metadata in addition to hearing that the
matched-artist is actually Genesis. This is deliberately shown with a
smaller image than the now-playing screen to avoid confusion, but
becomes now-playing size if you choose to accept the correction.

* The *background image* for the Now-Playing screen has been changed to
provide better legibility of textual metadata against the backdrop.

** Fuzzy matching* of artists has been noticeably improved due to making
even more round-trips to LMS if needed.

* Many commands make more use of the screen than they used to. Also,
text is more *responsive *to the size and shape/aspect-ratio of your
Echo's display.

Enjoy!

Hi Paul

Any chgance you could add Offshore Music Radio?
http://www.offshoremusicradio.com/#

They list artist name and song on their web site and have artwork but it
does not show in LMS. They also have a 192kbps stream.

Thanks

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)

2021-11-26 Thread kuba


Thank you for suggestions.

I have installed Tidal on LMS/squezebox and control it using Squeezebox
app on my android phone. Works good.
I am glad with my dac and simply wanted to transmit  aother audio
content through existing dac, also from other app via chromecast. I know
that I can connect directly chromecast audio to my amplifier but i this
case i would have to switch the sources ( I do not have selector or
preamp including it). Yesterday I installed squeeze2cast and in fact
works perfectly, LMS sees all chromecast devices in my network and send
to them requested content.

best regards,
Darek

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: UPnPBridge = integrate UPnP/DLNA players with LMS (squeeze2upnp)

2021-11-26 Thread pkfox


I'm trying to setup the UpNp plugin to enable me to use my Cambridge
Audio CXNV2 in conjunction with LMS. My player is discovered okay and
plays a track for a few seconds ( sometimes longer ) and then skips back
a few seconds or stops ( or both ) ( this process is repeated ad nauseam
).
I also cannot pause a track. Any ideas guys ?
The LMS server is a high spec Linux box with my colllection of flac
files stored on a high speed SSD M2, the Cambridge is connected with a
cable

If I use squeezlite as the player there is no problem

Also, if your phone is an Android one and you prefer to use TIDAL's own
app, you could try the experimental LMS Connect app on your phone. The
LMS Connect app uses Android's built-in app share feature to receive
track links from the TIDAL app, forward them to LMS and therefore get
your piCorePlayer's Squueezlite player to play the shared tracks. See:

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

2021-11-26 Thread Paul Webster


CoverSearch seems to be behaving well so decided to release.

0.0.16 26-Nov-2021
  - Add experimental cover art search for some stations that do 
not
have any
  - Add Dandelion Radio - rewrites artist name to extract 
programme
name
  - Add FSK - only shows programme name
  - For Europa Radio Jazz - strip from the end of the title the
optional trailing record speed indicator (33RPM etc)
  - For Europa Radio Jazz - show programme name (e.g. live Jazz 
in the
morning where there are no song details)

More stats (running totals):
20211125:0615 496 - of which 127 failed to match
20211125:0946 543 - of which 149 failed to match
20211126:0939 1102 - of which 336 failed to match

There is still an issue with KlassikRadio.de that can result in the
track details not updating. It is because they sometimes change the
stream URL during a session (possibly on a retry) and it results in a
failure to find the station id in the URL so the plugin stops updating.
If it happens to you simply start playing the stream again - possibly
playing another one first.
