Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00
UPDATE: Having tested the MP3 stream over the default FLAC it seems to be holding onto the stream to just the Boom much better. Dare I say even perfectly. Takes a little longer to initialise the stream for some reason but once it's going it's fine. Still drifts but from our conversations I think that just goes with the territory. Now to try linking up the two extra software/open peak/Joggler frames. -- Mod74 Mod74's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39010 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35718 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00
Hi. I have. Dedicated P4 media PC Latest nightly build of SBS Wavin Squeezebox Boom 2x Software players (OpenPeak frame running Rhubarbs player) PC is connected to main router via ethernet. Second router is connected to that via ethernet. The only devices connected to second router are the Boom and OpenPeak frames. At the moment I only have the Boom connected. Playback is initialised from Zune (DRM files) and then picked up by wavin. Playback will be fine but drifts out around a second for every 5 or 6 hours its running. Approximately. Over the course of a couple of days it goes up to 10-15 seconds so I select a radio stream and then reselect wavin (via favourites button on the boom) and it usually kicks back to 1 or 2 second delay. Quite a lot of the time even when just streaming to the Boom alone the stream gets bogged down and is buffering every couple of minutes. Playback from the main SBS library (non DRM tracks) and radio streams are almost always fine. Is there a way to tone down the quality levels the wavin plugin produces. I know there's command line options but i don't really understand how they're invoked as the wavin plugin just starts automatically when I initilise playback. That would probably help the buffering (which really, is the main problem) but I'm at a loss as to why it continues to drift.

On SettingsAdvancedfileTypes Wave Input: FLAC ^^Disabled/wavin2cmd-flac MP3 ^^ Disabled PCM ^^ Disabled/wavin2cmd There doesn't seem to an option to enable MP3. If I disable Flac and PCM does that Enable MP3 by default?

Thanks for that. Sorry for the noob question. LAME seems to have installed by just copying the file as per the Wiki page and wavin seems to be streaming on a quick test just now.

bpa;639831 Wrote: All your other playback issues have nothing to do with the plugin - they are SBS/network issues. Yeah, you said it drifted because software players lacked proper timing, so I bought a Boom and it still drifts. Is there something specific wrong with SBS or the network you can suggest as it works fine, then difts, then comes back in if I reset it. wavin is the only thing that does drift, and reseting fix the problem, so I'm sorry but I have a hard time seeing the reason it drifts as being anyting other than the plugin. It's got to the point now where it seems to be producing too large a stream to stream nicely (radio and normal mp3 playback is fine) so unless I can tweak the setting I'm going to have to give up on Zune playback and use something else like Spotify.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00
Just to say that I eventually caved (or rather my credit card did) and I've bought a Boom. As of right now the Wavin is running near perfectly with much lower delay and much quicker buffering. The only thing left to check is how much it drifts over time. Thanks again for the original plug-in, and thanks for the help trying to get it running nice of my software player. -- Mod74 Mod74's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39010 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35718 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00
I've just checked and both the PC and the OpenPeak ping a time server. I also noticed one was set to 12hr and one 24 so I set them to match. If that doesn't help I'll try changing them both to the same server, but on the OpenPeak it's hard to tell if it's actually making a sucessful ping to the server or not. No idea how to go about forcing frequent updates on either device. The problem I had seemed to stem from buffering, but it's impossible to tell whether it's the server, the plug in, the network or the player. In desperation I've installed the 7.6 nightly, and re-installed wavin. Touch wood it's working nicely again.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00
Hi, sorry, me again. I've noticed that wavin can drift out over a period of time. The two seconds can become 7, 8 or more. This might be because of a number of factors, different devices connecting at different times and the PC going in and out of standby, I don't know. So I was wondering is there a command line to stop, flush and then restart the service? And could that be included in a batch file. I say batch as that's my only reference for storing commands, I've a feeling there's more modern ways of doing it. I checked the wiki and nothing in the comand line reference leapt out at me. I guess I could kill the process in Process list, or restart the Squeezserver, but that doesn't seem very elegant. Thanks.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00
There's definitely a few factors at play, but if I swap from the stream to a library track on the device, or close and re-launch it, the stream stays out by more than it was. If I stop squeezeserver then start it again, reconnect the player the stream is back down to 1-2 second delay. I don't know exactly what element causes it, but being able to quickly restart wavin seems to be the shortest shortcut to getting things back in sync? -- Mod74 Mod74's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39010 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35718 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Yes, there's 3 players synced. Playing from the normal library is fine, it's only wavin that tends to drift out.

I'll try that, but previously I've had three running at the same time on the same network. I've just noticed as well that there are two and sometimes three wavincmd.exe entries in the Process manager list, I'm sure before there was only one.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00
Hi, I appreciate the advice and realise it's done on your own time, so thanks. However, I think I've just discovered that it might not have anything to do with wavincmd at all. I've tried playing a several songs via the main library and I got two songs playing on top of one another with a 2 second offset. I checked and there's only one apparently squeezesvr.exe in the process list. I was also initially problems with connecting to the library even though the PC said it was running. Going back to do some more re-boots/testing, but if anyone knows why I might be getting two pieces of normal playback at the same time, please shout! -- Mod74 Mod74's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39010 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35718 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00
Right, so I've just turned Start Automatically off, re-booted and methodically tested when the player could connect, and finally launched Sserver manually. Normal playback is fine again, wavincmd is fine. I don't know how I ended up with two running at the same time, didn't think it was possible, but I've learnt a lesson and it might help others.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00
I've sorted now, but for ref the player is an O2/OpenPeak frame with a build of the player on it. Rebooting that still produced two streams. Not sure exactly what player sw it's based on, I think the Touch. It seems almost certain I'd somehow got two instances of Squeeze server running. Dunno how, maybe Windows allowed me to do it as I'm logged in as a proper administrator rather than the built in admin account. -- Mod74 Mod74's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39010 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35718 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00
Hi, I have this working and if I start the audio on the PC then the audio on the device (Joggler running Squeezeplay) then I get audio after 2 seconds. I've been through the Wiki and every page of this thread looking for settings that might reduce the delay even further...or is about 2 seconds as low as it will go? I've got a dedicated machine so can afford to give it as much processing cycles as it needs. Also, I've notcied that using the webinstaller it puts the plugin in the AppData/Local/Squeeze/Cache folder? And soletimes it sems to forget that it's there. Should I move it to the main Squeeze folder under Program Files?

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Seens as it's currently working I won't try to change any setting then. Did someone say it was possible to put the stream into a Playlist to have a different name displayed? Does that let you specify an image to be displayed at the same time?
