Yes, the "create" only add entries to the XML file for devices that answer to the broadcast request. This means (to be confirmed by a log) that none of your devices answers the "broadcast" request.

Having devices entries in there does NOT create the device, but it helps configuring it AFTER it is detected during a search"- That is good to know, had assumed only devices appearing in the config file would be available to CC-Bridge plugin and LMS in turn. Have experience with networking and do not believe any changes have been made to my local network LAN, the QNAP NAS, the Unifi AP's providing the wireless speakers with their network connection, ethernet switches ...etc. All the CC-speakers are visible to my iPhone on the network thru VLC's music player interface so I can send music from my iPhone using VLC to the CC-speakers over the same physical network. The ethernet switch portion of the QNAP QGD-1600 NAS(?) connects the Unifi AP's to the rest of the network, so if my iPhone on the network can use VLC to cast music to the CC-speakers, then LMS running on the same QNAP in the past has always been able to connect to them using your excellent CC-Bridge LMS plugin. Doubly puzzling because these same (4) wireless chromecast speakers and older Squeezebox devices have worked fine playing music from the LMS server running on my QNAP QGD-1600 NAS/switch. As mentioned previously the SB devices on the same network subnet still play music from the QNAP LMS server which runs 24/7. When the CC speakers did not appear in either the Material-Skin LMS GUI interface or the native LMS GUI interface I made sure that LMS was still active on the QNAP, which it was, however at the top of the native GUI "Plugins" tab there was a notice that the Chromecast Bridge plugin had an update available. I checked [x] the CC-Bridge for updating then --> [APPLY]. The expected things happened: LMS was restarted ...etc, but still my (4) CC-wireless speakers were not visible in the LMS interface. Without knowing the CC wireless speakers UID numbers I assume it would be difficult to manually create the missing castbridge.xml file. Perhaps there is a utility which reveals these UID numbers. I do have the MAC addresses of the CC-speakers. Still hoping there might be a method to force the castbridge.xml file to be generated by Chromecast-Bridge and then attempt to edit it to help LMS see my wireless speakers. I have another LMS server running with your Chromecast-Bridge plugin, however it is at a remote location and not available to me at this time. Might try installing LMS server with CC-Bridge just to generate the castbridge.xml config file and then copy it with SSH over to my QNAP LMS server. Wondering if there are reasons why the CC-Bridge plugin GUI button [CREATE] does not generate the castbridge.xml file when invoked ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)
Worked and worked without success so far to get my multiple Chromecast speakers working again with LMS, but no way to generate a castbridge.xml config file on my working LMS v8.3.1 running under QNAP NAS. The LMS server works with my old Squeezeboxes just fine, music played, players seen ...etc. For many months it also worked quite well with my wireless Chromecast speakers. Then with nothing changed on the server, today none of the chromecast speakers are visible to LMS. The most likely explanation is the loss of a proper castbridge.xml config file for Chromecast Bridge plugin to inspect. The Chromecast Bridge log throws the dreaded "!!! ERROR LOADING CONFIG FILE " warning. There was an existing castbridge.xml file, however in misguided troubleshooting, I hit --> [ERASE], in the Chromecast Bridge "settings" GUI interface, then --> [GENERATE] hoping to make my chromecast speakers visible by recreating the config file. Unfortunately, now I have found no way to re-generate the castbridge.xml file again at all. SSH-ing into the QNAP to list the contents of directory "/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/LogitechMediaServer/SlimServer/prefs/" shows indeed there is no castbridge.xml file in that directory. And no matter what I've tried I have not been able to re-generate it. Have turned ON/OFF the wireless chromecast speakers in the hope they would re-announce their presence, stopped/started LMS and the Chromecast Bridge plugin nothing has worked. The wireless speakers behave fine and are visible to the awful GoogleHome iOS app, but not the LMS thru Chromecast Bridge plugin.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] piCorePlayer, bt stutters when players synchronized
Just tested tonight using a RPI3B using the rpi built in BT. Wired network. I have two different earbuds in right now sync'd (Surprised its not that far out of sync) only a millisecond or so between the two ears, which is fully expected in different capabilities of the two devices. No stuttering, no processor ever above 35%. squeezelite, bluealsa are both multi-threaded software. So the different threads are all scheduled on various processors. For example for the two devices playing there are 8 squeezelite threads and 12 or 13 bluealsa threads (only 3 are really using CPU) I would install htop(extension) then add processor to the column view. That should allow you to sort your view a bit better to see what might be causing problems. piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Material Skin
Craig,
With 3.0, I just noticed that my NativeReceiver.updateUiSettings is not
getting called. I am including the parameter "nativeUiChanges" with the
URL as I always have.
I noticed the ui-settings.js code changed from:
Code:
if (queryParams.nativeUiChanges) {
let settingsNow = JSON.stringify(this.settings(true, true));
if (settingsNow!=this.currentSettings) {
try {
NativeReceiver.updateUiSettings(settingsNow);
} catch (e) {
}
}
this.currentSettings = undefined;
}
to
Code:
if (0!=queryParams.nativeUiChanges) {
let settingsNow = JSON.stringify(this.settings(true, true));
if (settingsNow!=this.currentSettings) {
if (1==queryParams.nativeUiChange) {
try {
NativeReceiver.updateUiSettings(settingsNow);
} catch (e) {
}
} else if (2==queryParams.nativeUiChange) {
console.log("MATERIAL-UI\nJSON " + settingsNow);
}
}
this.currentSettings = undefined;
}
Should I change how I specify this parameter in the URL?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Qobuz.com streaming plugin

Oddly enough, when a box set from Qobuz is added to the LMS library, it then shows up as individual discs in My Music, but only when using Material skin, not in the LMS default web interface. The setting for "Group Discs" might have some influence on the default interface behavior.

whitman wrote: > Michael, understood. And I guess from the lack of replies from others > here to this question that there's not much demand for such a facility. Oh yes, there is! :) It really would be nice to be able to sort the music in the LMS plugin in the different ways that are available in the Qobuz web player and app. For example, right now in the LMS plugin, under the artists' "Album" view all albums are bundled together with the alphabetical sorting order. In the Qobuz web player and app, you can sort the albums by year/release date, and they can be separated by type (studio albums, live, compilations, etc). This approach to sorting can really help when browsing through the catalogues of artists that you are not that familiar with. Also, in the LMS plugin, the contents of large box sets are presented as a single list of all tracks bundled together, while in the web player and app the songs are separated under CD1, CD2, CD3, etc. The other great option for discovering music in the Qobuz web player and app is the possibility to click on the music label's name and see its catalogue. For example, when I clicked on Folkways Records I have discovered a trove of music that I didn't know of. I really hope that at some point more of the features that are available in the original app will find its way to the LMS plugin and elevate it to a completely new level. :) Kuja's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97146 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
