Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] ANNOUNCE: Alexa voice control (development thread)

2017-01-14 Thread SadGamerGeek

I'm in the UK and I'd love to get involved with testing if you're still
looking for new people.

I have 3x Classics, 1x Radio and 1x Touch, plus occasionally use my iPad
via iPeng. I have two Echo dots (in rooms that have squeezeboxes). One
of the SBs is called "Cinema" which I don't think you have listed yet,
but I can rename it if necessary. Not sure if it's relevant but I'm
running the LMS on a Windows Home Server 2011 machine.

Thanks for helping to keep Squeezebox alive!
Richard

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Sporadic MusicinfoSCR / Titleswitcher problem

2011-11-15 Thread SadGamerGeek

When I first reported the issue I seemed to be getting log messages even
when it wasn't working. In the last two experiments, I don't seem to get
anything from those two plugins until they spring into life.

The Plugins::TitleSwitcher::Plugin::getTitleFormat (200) Returning
log entry seems to be displayed first at 2347, so I believe this is
when the info line started displaying correctly.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] MusicInfoSCR 4.3 - now with theOriginal Boom Booklet Layout

2011-11-15 Thread SadGamerGeek

Hi Michael,

I started a new thread a few days ago about a sporadic problem I'm
having using MusicInfoSCR with TitleSwitcher:

http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91416

After reading the previous page in this thread, it looks like I'm
getting exactly the same problem as wonder boy mentioned. It is fixed
by me going to the Player-MusicInfoSCR tab in the web browser (just
selecting the tab - no need to change anything). 

It happens quite frequently to me but I'm not sure what pattern is yet.
My server is set to go to sleep with no activity so it might relate to
coming out of hibernation.

Is there anything I can do to help analysis of the problem?

This appears to be an issue with MusicInfoSCR as I've just spotted what
appears to be the same problem (but without TitleSwitcher being
involved) mentioned by Wonder Boy here:

I've just added a post to that thread.

 Hmm... interesting. Might be the formats get re-initialized when going
 to  
 the config page.

 Only after a restart, or every now and then even without?

It definitely seems to happen after the server wakes from sleep. I
think it might happen other times, but I'm not absolutely sure of
this

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Sporadic MusicinfoSCR / Titleswitcher problem

2011-11-14 Thread SadGamerGeek

On playing a track just now, the TitleSwitcher display was broken again.
I can confirm that simply switching to the Player - Music Info screen
in the web interface immediately fixes it though. I can't remember
where the actual log file gets stored on the server, but I've attached
a copy  paste of the last 2000 lines from the web link - hopefully
that will be enough.

I started playing at 2344 (broken) and switched to Player - Music Info
tab at 2347 (so this is the time it started working). If that's too
vague I'm sure I can do the experiment again and try to get timings to
the second.

Thanks again.

 Could you try the 1.2.3688 version of TitleSwitcher which I just
 released, it contains some more debug messages and also a correction
 where it ignores space characters at end of a formatting section (like
 the one that caused problems for you).
 
 Also remember that you need to configure the individual title formats
 you use in SBS Settings/Interface, else you will get validation errors
 when trying to save in Title Switcher settings page.

Thanks very much for that. I'm running the new version and it is no
longer complaining about my original format. So far it is behaving
itself. I'll report back after a longer trial.

Annoyingly it's been behaving itself tonight! Strangely, Titleswitcher
doesn't seem to like my formats tonight. When I click apply in the
settings (as suggested above) it is now complaining:

INVALID FORMAT: \ALBUM : \ALBUM:4 ,PLAYTIME / SONGTIME TRACK X_OF_Y

... though these have been working OK before

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Sporadic MusicinfoSCR / Titleswitcher problem

2011-11-12 Thread SadGamerGeek

I'm wondering if something has changed since I entered those format
lines (a long time ago), meaning something in them is now causing this
sporadic problem.


This is the main string that used to parse OK in TitleSwitcher but it
now rejects (even though it still displays, albeit sporadically):*
ALBUM:4 ,PLAYTIME / SONGTIME Track X_OF_Y ,ARTIST:4*

After much trial and error I've managed to create an equivalent format
that TitleSwitcher accepts:
ALBUM:4 ,\ \PLAYTIME / SONGTIME\ TRACK \X_OF_Y\ \,ARTIST:4
The strange thing is, MusicInfoSCR (when selecting live data preview)
likes the first string (that TitleSwitcher rejects), but just shows a
blank for the new one that TitleSwitcher likes!

In fact, I can't get any TitleSwitcher strings to work at all in
MusicInfoSCR now, other than the original one.

I created this simple one called ALBUM_ARTIST as a test:

ALBUM,ARTIST
When I select it in MusicInfoSCR, it shows nothing in the live data
preview, and the SB3 reverts to showing Now Playing in the top line.
Here's what the log looks like with that selected:


Code:

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Sporadic MusicinfoSCR / Titleswitcher problem

2011-11-10 Thread SadGamerGeek

Thanks for your thoughts Erland.

All my SB3's are wireless so I guess they could be losing connection,
though my Kitchen one (the one I use most) is in the same room as the
access point and generally shows a wireless strength of at least 90%.

When I switched on the SB tonight it was behaving itself. I've just
changed  saved the settings in TitleSwitcher a few times but I can't
persuade it to break

I should have more chance to experiment tomorrow night.

Forgot to mention, the problem also manifests itself in streaming audio
such as via BBC iPlayer.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer problems recently - bad file descriptor

2011-07-07 Thread SadGamerGeek

I love BBC iPlayer but I've been having lots of problems with my install
of it recently. I use it exclusively for R4 Listen Again, but I'm
finding it very hard to get my selected programmes to play. It will
show connecting or sometimes nothing in the status area, then
frequently timed out waiting for data or nothing. These are the two
main errors I see in the log (mostly the second):


Code:


  [11-07-07 20:21:33.1252] Slim::Utils::Scanner::Remote::__ANON__ (240) Error: 
Can't connect to remote server to retrieve playlist for, 
http://wm-acl.bbc.co.uk/wms2/radio4fmcoyopa/radio_4_fm_-_thursday_1700.wma: 
Timed out waiting for data.
  [11-07-07 20:25:34.2502] Slim::Utils::Scanner::Remote::__ANON__ (240) Error: 
Can't connect to remote server to retrieve playlist for, 
http://wm-acl.bbc.co.uk/wms/radio4fmcoyopa/radio_4_fm_-_thursday_1700.wma: 
Connect timed out: Bad file descriptor.
  



I've tried lots of programmes and they all do the same thing. After
many, many attempts it will sometimes start, but it rarely makes it all
the way through a long (over 30 minutes) programme.

When I paste the relevant URL into a web browser it starts quickly and
plays without issue. 

I run a recent-ish 7.60 build on Windows Home Server on an Intel
machine. It is hard wired to a router from which I get 3-4Mb download
with no connection problems. I'm in the UK.

I get the problems from my SB3  SBR. Some possibly relevant parameters
are:

Radio Station Timeout - 20 seconds.
Maximum WMA Stream Bitrate - No Limit
Radio Station Buffer Seconds - 5

Can anyone suggest what might be happening?

Thanks in advance,

Richard

 Have you tried using the flash/aac streams?  Try changing the settings

Just done that and it seems to have done the trick! Any idea why the
wma streams might have been causing me a problem recently?

Thanks very much for a speedy solution.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)

2009-05-30 Thread SadGamerGeek

Out of interest, is there anything that could possibly be done to help
to recover from timeouts? I've just been listening to Friday's Radio 4
Any Questions and it stopped 41 minutes in (45 minute programme) due
to a timeout:


Code:

 4 Connection timed out



If it isn't possible to just pause  continue on reconnection, is there
any way to easily restart from the point it failed when pressing play?

 So this is an error at the bbc end.

Fair enough.

I'm still on the same versions that were working OK last weekend:

Windows Home Server/Version: 7.4 - 26660/BBC iPlayer v0.5beta

Could this be the wrong format problem?

 Yes, in 1.0.9 when it cant find a file it counts this as a scanning

 point of view? ie. Home-server is running and the machine running muso
 can see it (its possible the machine running SC can see it yet the
 machine running muso cannot?).


Ooops! The folder wasn't accessible to my laptop!

I've sorted that now and run another scan with v1.0.11. It shows 9045
songs scanned and 8255 songs added - very close to Squeezecenter's view
of 8276 songs. It looks very nice, but when I browse by artist, I only
seem to get a tiny proportion of the actual artists I expect This
is the case for artists with and without full albums. It looks like the
vast majority of tracks have not been given an artist in the Muso
database.

I've emailed you the log.

 Hmm yes it seems the SC query is bringing back null for the artist

Not at the moment, though if you'd be kind enough to point me at a
recommended tool I'm happy to install it and run any queries you want
(client would need to be Vista 32 bit).

 To get all the contributors for the first 30 tracks only.

This shows each of those 30 tracks having a role of just 4 and 5 - is
that what you needed?

1.0.6 has sorted out the situation with not scanning enough tracks for
me. It now scans all my tracks, but for some reason it still doesn't
add any of them to its database - it finishes with:

9069 songs parsed, 0 new songs added, 0 songs updated, 0 errors

... so it still shows 0 for Tracks, Full Albums, Album Artists and
Total Artists.

Amis I supposed to do something else after the scan?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: muso (beta)

2009-01-06 Thread SadGamerGeek

Looking promising but not working for me as yet.

I'm running 7.3 on Windows Home Server, running the client (v1.0.5) on
XP Home. My Library size is as follows:

Total Tracks: 8,276
Total Albums: 647
Total Artists: 316
Total Genres: 76

I've opened up the relevant port and made the file change to allow
access from a different box. It can see my Squeezebox 3s, so that's
good. When I do an Import from SC though, it says:


Code:

Completed SqueezeCenter Scan: 791 songs parsed, 0 new songs added, 0 songs 
updated, 0 errors



My Music database show as 0 for everything after the scan. As you can
see, my library is over 10 times that size. They are almost all FLAC,
though it is possible that maybe 791 is the number of non-FLAC tracks
(though that is a complete guess). What appears to be the relevant part
of the log file is:


Code:

1: [  2.405] [0.547] SqueezeCenter.ScanDatabase
  1: [  0.102] [0.078] . ScanDatabase: Connecting to 
Port=9092;Server=home-server;User 
Id=slimserver;Password=;Database=slimserver;Pooling=False
  1: [  0.251] [0.250] . Server version 5.0.22-community-nt
  1: [   .004] [0.000] . schema version 8
  1: [   .010] [0.000] TRACKS...
  1: [  4.234] [1.406] 791 tracks parsed
  1: [   .012] [0.000] . Completed Scan 791
  1: [   .017] [0.031] queryDB
  1: [  0.038] [0.063] queryDB done
  1: [ 16.348] [1.359] FormClosing
  



Not sure if that's enough. I have also emailed you the entire thing.


Just a couple of other points:

1. Import doesn't look clickable. I think this would be more
obvious as a button.

2. Some SB users may be put off by your use of a Logitech logo for
Players (doesn't bother me though)

Hope it all helps!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Title Switcher for switching texts on player display

2009-01-02 Thread SadGamerGeek

Well I'm not sure if this was fixed in the latest TS or MusicInfoSCR,
but it is working a treat for me after updating all my plugins.

I've spent a bit more time playing around with it and I now have what
is the perfect (to me) display on my SB3s. If anyone's interested, I
settled on this at the top left via Title Switcher:

Album  :  ALBUM:5,Artist : ARTIST:5,Track   : X_OF_Y:3

... with just the track name at bottom left and PLAYTIME / SONGTIME at
the top right.

TS and MIS are a perfect combination :-)

 All of a sudden the display is both less intrusive and more

I completely agree - an excellent plugin. It gives the display such a

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Title Switcher for switching texts on player display

2008-11-23 Thread SadGamerGeek

This is fantastic - exactly the sort of thing I'd been hoping for!

I'm very happily using it now, and it is much better not having to
crowd Artist and Album on the top line now. There are a couple of
things I've noticed that I'd like some help on if possible

I'd quite like to be able to use a colon in the format. I initially set
up some formats like this-

Album: ALBUM
Title: TITLE

until I realised that this wouldn't be possible due to the use of
the colon. I've now changed this to a hyphen, but I think a colon would
look a little better. Would it be possible to perhaps have an option
specify the character used on a later release?

The other thing is it seems to get a little confused by Podcasts. I've
defined a format of TOPLINE (Album- ALBUM:10,Artist- ARTIST:5,Track
X_OF_Y:3) which works a treat for normal music, but when I play a
podcast the area in question permanently shows
_MIS_REMOTE_TITLESWITCHERTOPLINE. I guess most of the elements used
don't make sense for a podcast, but I assumed the would mean they'd
just get ignored. On that subject, does anyone know which elements are
relevant to podcasts?

 What would it take to get Lazysearch plugin integrated with the

 plugins sometimes get added with the application as a default

 This is the best search tool for the slim device players and couldn't
 see using anything else(compared to the normal search tool).  I know it
 is easy enough to add it after installing, but this tool is good enough
 I feel everyone would benefit with it being included.  Just an opinion.

I think what it would take would be a very good patent lawyer or (more
likely) Logitech to stump up a license fee to the people who patented
T9 predictive text.

I would guess keeping it as a separate, user developed plugin is less
dubious legally :)

Yes, (sorry) I have upgraded MIS to 4.2.0. I did this after the SC
upgrade, but it didn't seem to make any difference.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicInfoSCR web interface broken for me under 7.2

2008-08-31 Thread SadGamerGeek

I've just upgraded from 7.1 to 7.2 on my Windows home server box, and
MusicInfoSCR web interface has stopped working for me. Where I'd expect
the simulation of the display to appear it is just blank.

The actual MusicInfoSCR player layout itself seems to have been
retained, so that's good - I just have no way of changing that layout
now. I turned debug on for the plugin, and I just get loads of these
lines:


Code:

[08-08-31 10:57:41.7432] Plugins::MusicInfoSCR::Info::getFormatString (269) 
MusicInfoSCR: there seems to be nothing left...
  [08-08-31 10:57:42.7432] Plugins::MusicInfoSCR::Info::getFormatString (269) 
MusicInfoSCR: there seems to be nothing left...
  [08-08-31 10:57:43.7392] Plugins::MusicInfoSCR::Info::getFormatString (269) 
MusicInfoSCR: there seems to be nothing left...



I assume this has something to do with the new fonts.

This sounds super slick! I can't wait for the SC7 version, so I don't
have to restart 60min+ Listen Again programmes when moving to another
room

This sounds so key it should be part of the built in sync
functionality. Would there be any chance of this in the future does
anyone think?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Alien BBC Listen Again Problem

2008-01-06 Thread SadGamerGeek

Something I've been meaning to ask for a while

Would it be possible to put an option in Settings to somehow replace
the manual task of removing the bandwidth tag. It seems like there is a
reasonable number of people that require this, so it would be great if
it was an option from the web interface, rather than requiring a text
editor.

 With non-Windows it would be possible to pass the option over to the
 mplayer.sh script but with Windows, there is no script file and so a
 web enabled option would be very difficult to implement.

Fair enough. 'tis no big deal.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Alien SC7 - some stuff not working for me

2008-01-05 Thread SadGamerGeek

I've been using the Alien Beta2 with no problems for Listen Again stuff,
and I've just updates to Beta3.

The Listen Again still works fine, but I've noticed a couple of things
that seem strange...

The icon I see is just the old radio mast - I don't see the proper
AlienBBC icon anywhere (though I think this was the case for me under
Beta2).

Also, when I select Settings - Advanced - AlienBBC or Extras -
AlienBBC - Settings, I just get completely blank a right hand side.

Oh, and I can't see a Search A-Z menu anywhere

Maybe I messed something up with the install, though I only did a rm
-rf followed by a tar -xvf...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Lazy Search Music Plugin v2.3 Released

2007-05-13 Thread SadGamerGeek

SamS;201675 Wrote: 
 Hi Stuart,
 
 I downloaded your Lazy Search plugin and enjoyed your informative
 website about the feature.
 
 I am feeling really stupid, but I have to ask:  when I used Lazy
 Search, I type the number keys on the remote, but only numbers show up
 and are searchable.  No letters, even with multiple presses of the
 buttons.  What am I doing wrong?

(Hope you don't mind me answering this, Stuart)

Hi Sams,

The behaviour you describe is the way Lazy Search is intended to work.
In fact, if it worked by cycling through the letters with each key
press, that would be no different to the standard search
functionality.

The whole point of LazySearch is it cuts down the number of key presses
required for a search by working a bit like predictive text on a mobile
phone.

As an example, say I was looking for a song containing the word five.
Using traditional search (that rotates through each letter on a button
per keypress), after selecting search and song, I'd press the
following sequence of keys:

3,3,3 (f)
4,4,4 (i)
8,8,8 (v)
3,3   (e)

That's 11 key presses

Using lazy search, I can just press:

3,4,8,3

That's 4 key presses - quite a difference.

The difference in usability (as you noticed) is that the display cannot
show the letters that are being searched for, because that sequence
covers a few combinations - each number represents 3 or 4 letters
(that's why you just see the numbers on the screen). The vast majority
of those combinations, though are very unlikely to retrieve any songs,
as they don't make any sense (for the above numbers, it will also
search for dgtd,egtd,fdgd etc.)

Hope that helps. I guess Stuart could explain it much better!

I love the look of this.

Unfortunately I think I must have neglected something pretty
fundamental, as I see the skin, but everything on the page is

I'm running SS 6.51 (no password security) on Fedora FC5 Linux. I'm

unpopulated page in Firefox  IE).

Anyone got any ideas what I may have forgotten to do?

  Considering my 7 players it's astonishing this does not exist...
 
 A settings duplicator is rather an idea I've been carrying around as  
 another plugin...

I've only got 2 but it would be great to be able to do this. I haven't
worked out how to write plugins yet (I need to improve my Perl first),
so I was just going to do a bodge with a (Linux) shell script that
edited the conf file (after stopping the service).

A plugin would obviously be a much better way of doing it. I'll be bold
enough to suggest how I would love to see this work...

(From the web page) it would be good to have all the normal clients
available, then an extra (virtual) Master one. All the individual
settings from the real players would have one extra option (Use Master
setting), and they would be set to this option by default. 

This would allow all the house-wide settings to be defined in the
Master player, but any SB specific ones to override this.

Firstly, does anyone else think this would be a good way to do it? If
so, is it do-able in a plugin, or should his be a feature request for
7.x?

Another alternative is to use the podcast:

The good thing about this is that you don't have to keep adding URLs

Red face time...

Yes, I did have a custom button function set with the following

  arrow_up.hold = lastfm_love
  arrow_down.hold = lastfm_ban



As those were the only changes (no numeric button related changes) I
didn't think this would have any effect.

Is there an easy way to get the trackstat numbers working at the same
time as the LastFM arrows? Would I have to add the LastFM arrow
settings to the Default.map file?

Many apologies for wasting everyone's time - I really should have been
able to suss this out myself!

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: TrackStat - how do I enable the ratings buttons?

 Rating buttons currently only works in Now Playing menu and in

 where the rating buttons isn't enabled and then you will get the
 favorite commands instead.

Unfortunately I can't seem to get it to work in the Now Playing menu
either, I still just get Playlist .. not defined (no matter how long
I hold the buttons down).

I'm not sure if any other plugins could be causing a problem? I use
SlimScrobbler, LastFM, LazySearch  MusicInfoScr. I'm running a recent
6.5.1 on Linux (Fedora FC5).

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Alien BBC 1.06 and Slimserver 6.5 broken

2006-10-03 Thread SadGamerGeek

Thanks bpa,

I've just been looking for more info on my Via C3 chip. One interesting
point I see mentioned frequently is that it is almost an i686, but
seems to lack one important instruction (cmov). This certainly seems to
be a potential cause of problems.

Mind you, I'd have thought me compiling mplayer for i386 should have
removed that problem area.

 Excellent! I disabled about anything I found like mmx, sse  co. and

 at least mplayer doesn't crash any more. I'll test AlienBBC tomorrow.

Michael - did you get chance to try your minimal build mplayer on your
Via server?

My SS runs on a Via based PC, and my problem (previously discussed) is
that Alien/mplayer will stop after about 20-30 minutes when playing
listen again BBC audio. It is fixed by removing the bandwidth option,
but this does have some side effects (not too major) of delayed start
and very jerky screen updates (time/visualiser).

Prompted by this thread, I've just done a compile of mplayer after
having worked out how to set it to 386 with no MMX etc. Unfortunately
this didn't make any difference.

I should probably raise a bug against mplayer, but I'm not sure I have
a good enough grasp over exactly what is happening!

 The problem of mplayer stopping after 20 mins with bandwidth is related
 to TCP and the Receive Window and not the processor type.
 
 The bandwidth option is supposed to mimic the RealPlayer Turboplay
 option but i think there is a problem.
 
 Basically the bandwidth option enabled mplayer to receive a lot of data
 as fast as possible but the problem is the mplayer only processes it in
 RealTime - what happens is the TCP connected thinks some of the data
 downloaded has been lost as it is only acknowledged when it is played
 and this can take minutes. When this happens TCP reset the link.I think
 one way to resolve the issue is to get the right value for bandwidth
 depending on the user's broadband connection.
 

Ahh OK. I think you'd tried to explain this to me before, but it's
finally sunk in now! Cheers.


 
 Raising a bug in mplayer list is not very effective   unless it is in a
 popular area such as DVD playback.  The garbled audio bug was reported
 for at least 6 months until I decided to track it down and pinpoint the
 problem - then the code was changed.  I reckon I'll have to the same
 for this bug ( as well as why R4 LW doesn't work). Fair enough.

 On your VIA system - are you running Windows ?
No, Linux Fedora FC5 (very minimal install).

 Have you tweaked registry values to improved download or has an app run
 to optimise network ?

All the network settings are as created by the installer. I'm pretty
sure the installer didn't ask me any questions relating to my network,
so I guess everything is pretty standard.

It looks like the Linux receive window is held in file
/proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default. Based on this mine is set to 107520
(both default and maximum). Is it likely that mine is too high or too
low? 

 What speed  type of broadband connection do you have ?I have up to 8Mb 
 from BT. It is generaly around 4.5Mb downstream 
about 400Kb upstream. My SS box uses a wired (100Mb) connection to my
router (Netgear DG834). The network port is the one built into the Via
PC's (M1000) motherboard.





Thanks once again for your help!

I've been doing some forum searching  found a thread where this was

 What is the value of /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_moderate_rcvbuf on your

and I never replied!

Very sorry for my rudeness -I've no idea why I didn't see your

Belatedly, the answer is 1.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] TrackStat - how do I enable the ratings buttons?

2006-10-02 Thread SadGamerGeek

I've just installed TrackStat, but I think I'm missing something
obvious.

I believe that I should be able to rate tracks by holding a 0-5 key on
the remote. Unfortunately when I do this I just get a Favorite is not
defined message.

Is there something I need to set to change the key mapping for these
buttons?

Thanks in advance,

 Hi,
 at that point - Now Playing (Connecting) - it's passed out of the hands
 of the plugin and SlimServer has taken over. The LastFM messages in the

 For Squeezebox 2/3 I believe it's actually the Squeezebox itself that
 makes the connection - which model are you using? Does it have a
 reliable connection to the internet?
 
 I think that the d_directstream  d_remotestream debugging options may
 give more information.

Thanks for a very speedy reply.

My squeezebox (model 3) is wireless, but it seems to have a very good
signal quality, and my internet connection is very stable.

I'll try those two extra debug values  see what I get.

I have the d_plugins debugging setting enabled, but the only relevant

I have reasonable periods of it playing, but it seems if I have much
interaction with my squeezebox (skipping/changing stations etc.) it
very quickly stops, then I have a major struggle to get it started
again.

I'm a paying subscriber to LastFM, and I don't have any problems
streaming it to a PC.

I feel I must have something configured wrong. Can anyone suggest
anything to help me investigate what's happening?

I'm running what I believe is the latest version of the plugin against
6.5.0 on Fedora FC5.

Thanks in advance,

Richard

[SlimDevices: Plugins] LastFM - can't suss out best way to skip/love/ban from SB

2006-09-21 Thread SadGamerGeek

Hi there,

I love the funtionality of the LastFM plugin, but I'm struggling a bit
on the best way to control it from my Squeezebox (3). I'm running 6.5b3
(haven't got round to installing the official new released version yet -
not sure if there's much difference) on Linux Fedora FC5.

I installed the vey latest version of the plugin yesterday, but somehow
the access to skip/ban/love via the remote control doesn't seem too
obvious to me now. It seemed pretty intuitive on the previous release,
so I'm guessing I may not have set something up properly for this
updated version.

I use a now playing screensaver of Now Playing (jump back on wake). I
always get there, but it seems to take me a few button presses to
actually find the love/ban/skip options and I can't quite work out the
logic of it. It generaly seems to involve pressing the left button
(when LastFM showing on the screen), followed immediately by the
right to get the song title back! I have also tried the button maps
suggested elsewhere to make use of holding down the up/down/right
buttons, but this only seems to work for me when a screensaver has
kicked in.

Could someone please what should be the quickest combinations of
keypresses to get the required actions?

Sorry to be dim!

Richard

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: LastFM - can't suss out best way to skip/love/ban from SB

2006-09-21 Thread SadGamerGeek

One other thing!

LastFM on my SB seems to just stop reasonably often (perhaps an
average of once an hour..) I assume this isn't normal?

It seems quite a struggle to get it to start up again after this. I'll
press play in LastFM to start it, but it generaly just sits at the Now
Playing (Connecting) screen forever. Once this happens I can
normally only get it to reconnect by restarting SlimServer itself.

I have the plugin debugging value set, but can't see anything that
seems to relate to the LastFM client stopping.

Any help gratefuly received.

Cheers,

Richard

[SlimDevices: Plugins] LazySearch - some artists show Empty

2006-09-21 Thread SadGamerGeek

First of all, thanks a million for LazySearch - it is one of the best
plugins around!

I wonder if you could tell me if what I am experiencing is expected
behaviour from the plugin? There are some artists that will be found
via an artist search, but will then show Empty when I use the right
button to show albums by that artist. 

An example:

I do a song search for word race, and find The Race by Yello
I do an artist search and find Yello. I press right for a list of
albums and just get Empty

I have found lots of other similar examples to this. 

Interestingly some of the artists that appear in LazySearch seem a
little strange, such as Additional Lyrics by Madonna. This is another
one that shows Empty for albums.

I have done a delete  rescan of my music database, and have followed
that by a forced rebuild of the Lazy indexes, but this doesn't change
the situation.

I'm using SS 6.5b3 on Fedora FC5 Linux with (what I believe is) the
most recent Lazy Search plugin. My clients are squeezebox 3s.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Richard

Thanks very much for taking the time to write such a detailed
description (and all the time spent on investigation).

 So the solution at the moment is either remove the Bandwidth option
 from Slimserver-convert.conf or change back to standard TCP settings.

I haven't changed my receive window settings (or indeed any TCP
settings). My default and maximum settings are 107520. Any idea How I
may be able to ascertain a better setting for this? I'm on up to 8Mb
Broadband.

Thanks again for all your time on this bpa.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: AlienBBC - plays for a while then stops

2006-07-29 Thread SadGamerGeek

I've removed the -bandwidth parameter from the config file  tried
again.

It played all the way though PM (1 hour) with no problems! This is the
first time I've ever been able to play any listen again program
longer than about 20 minutes without problems.

This does seem to have a side effect though. The squeezebox display is
very stuttering in updating the visualisation  time when it is
playing this. It seems to only manage to refresh the display about
every second or so. The mplayer info update was also very sporadic.

Also, the squeezebox buffer seemed to be permanently almmost empty
(10) while playing.

Still - seems like an improvement!

I guess the next thing is to put -bandwidth back in with different
values.

 Interesting to know the the bandwidth parameter also affect Linux

Yeah, a *big *difference.


bpa Wrote: 
 I think the stuttering is a known bug if you are streaming in FLAC to
 SB.  I get it on my system and if you stream MP3 it will goes away. I've just 
 re-tested with the config file back to defaults. I definately
don't get any stuttering when the *-bandwidth* 
param is there (using FLAC). The visualisation  clock on the
squeezebox are both smooth, and so is the console info from mplayer. 

bpa Wrote: 
 I think the buffer is always low on broadcast because the BBC server
 will only send fragments at a time which are not enough to fill SB
 buffer.I'm afraid that's not what I'm seeing, as there's a massive difference
for me depending on the absence/presence of the *-bandwidth* setting.
This is with the default settings:
Code:

This is my buffer when playing with *-bandwidth* removed:

Not withstanding a few niggly problems, the ability to have hundreds of
Radio 4 listen again programmes available at an instant is fantastic!

 You can't add to favorites from within Alien menus (as we haven't added

 Now Playing and then add it to a favorite by pressing right arrow.

Does this still work in 6.5?

If so, I think I'm being a bit stupid as I can't work out how to do

2006-07-23 Thread SadGamerGeek

Thanks for the response.

bpa Wrote: 
 1. Spec of your systems h/w, s/w  OS - - pre8 is a lot bigger and I
 think processor hungry in some instances.
Via Epia M1000 board with 1Ghz C3 processor (Mplayer detects this
correctly). 512MB RAM. Software is Linux - Fedora FC5, with no
Xwindows, and no software or services that are not directly required
for SS/Alien. When using Alien/mplayer to stream listen again stuff
my CPU usage hovers at around 9-13%

 2. Did you build Mplayer or use a pre-built RPM.  If it is pre-built
 where did you get it ?
I used a pre-built RPM. I'm afraid I can't remember where I got it
from! 

 3. Output from the console when stop happens.  There can be many
 reasons why Mplayer will stop and the console output usually gives a
 hint - for example an Mplayer crash, network error (e.g. RDT error as
 seen by others) , network congestion or EOF on the stream ?
Sorry - not sure what you mean by this. I posted the log output above
(it always fails with the message above mplayer: could not connect to
socket,mplayer: No such file or directory). Should I be looking for
extra output somewhere else? Are there some suitable debug switches, or
a way I can get extra debug info out of mplayer?

 4. Is is reproducible on your system e.g. if you play the same PM
 program at different times of the day - does the crash happen at
 exactly the same time ?
I can reproduce the crash, but it doesn't crash at the same point each
time. I've tried playing the latest PM from the beginning three times
this morning. They crashed at 17:48, 24:16 and 22:11.


 The Mplayer pre7 tar ball is available from MplayerHQ site
 (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.0pre7.tar.bz2 ) so
 you can build your version of Mplayer.  Although you will have add my
 patch to listen to Live BBC.  Also startup for Listen Again will take
 15-20 secs.

OK, thanks for that.


Cheers,

Richard

 2. You will get Mplayer error message on the Terminal window  when

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: AlienBBC - plays for a while then stops

2006-07-19 Thread SadGamerGeek

At least I'm not alone! It's happened with today's PM again at 26
minutes and 50 minutes.

It's interesting that (for me), the problems seems to happen after
20-25 minutes of streaming..

[SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC - plays for a while then stops

2006-07-18 Thread SadGamerGeek

Hi there.

I'm running SS 6.5b 8467 on Linux Fedora FC5, with the newly released
AlienBBC 1.05 (for 6.5). My mplayer is 1.0pre8-4.1.1, and it correctly
identifies my CPU.

I'm streaming wirelessly to a Squeezebox 3 (FW 58).

I've been having some problems with streaming BBC listen again
programs. For instance, when playing PM today, it stopped at 23:13
and 39:50. When this happens I can get it going again by pressing play
and fast forwarding, but I'd like to get to the bottom of the problem.

Here's how the log looks each time:


Code:

Streaming: Launching mplayer -really-quiet -vc null -vo null -bandwidth

Does this sound like an mplayer problem?

Cheers,

Richard

2006-07-18 Thread SadGamerGeek

I never really got a chance to try this until now, as I went for the 6.5
builds pretty much from the start.

I've now installed it, and I can't praise it highly enough. It is just
*so* much faster to find anything using this.

Thanks for the fantastic plugin!

2006-07-02 Thread SadGamerGeek

Triode Wrote: 
 I see you have sql debugging on to - could you turn this off? 

I don't have SQL logging turned on, but maybe I've been confusing
things by posting the output of /tmp/slimserver.log. I assumed this was
the same as the output given in http://musicserver:9000/log.txt, but I
now see that the web log doesn't show any SQL. I will use that log from
now on (where is it held in the filesystem?). 


  Do you get the same figure every time for this, or is it dependant on
 disk spin ups etc?

I think the times vary quite a bit. If I retry an operation it is
normaly much better (and may not freeze at all). I always assumed this
was due to MySQL caching the relevant rows/tables.

I'm afraid I don't know if disk spin up times are affecting this. My
server is nowhere near the client, and even then, the power supply in
the server (soon to be replaced) is so loud I can't really guage what
the disk is doing. I wouldn't have thought I'd given the disk time to
spin down, but can't say for sure.

Unfortunately all the Alien BBC streaming stations (except Virgin) seem
to be broken in the latest 6.5 build (discussed in another posting), so
this has significantly limited the testing I can now do.

As Virgin still works, I've done another test with that. Interestingly
I just managed to get an All Songs list without a freeze. As this is
just streaming MP3, maybe it is a little more tolerant (though I have
previously had problems with Virgin). Here's the log:

 Also which version of 6.5 and what is the size of of the library?

Since this thread started I've moved from 6.2.2 through to (via a
complete server rebuild) 6.5 from 29/06, and now I'm on the very latest
build (6.5b1 - 8242) at the time of typing this.

My library is 535 albums with 6451 songs by 232 artists (currently no
playlists).


Thanks again for your help,

As suggested, I've now created a new thread in Beta.

Interestingly, I've just installed the new AlienBBC, and I'm finding it
quite hard to stall now.

My web pages still take ages though!

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: AlienBBC - radio stations interrupted by web page access

2006-06-30 Thread SadGamerGeek

An update

Well I took the opportunity to do a complete re-install of Linux Fedora
FC5 (I wasn't happy with a few things from the first install), and also
to double the RAM to 512MB. I'm still running it as cut-down as
possible, with no X-Windows.

I then jumped straight into an install of the latest (8199 - 29/06) 6.5
beta, which went in with no problems.

The good news is that things definately seem better - Most of the time
selecting Albums or Artists on the web page doesn't interrupt a
radio station now. Unfortunately All Songs does cause the Squeezbox
to freeze, but for a shorter time than before

Top indicates these freezes/silences are still related to the CPU
maxing out.

I can't help thinking that if the output could be returned to the web
page a bit quicker the Squeezebox wouldn't exhaust its cache. I was
hoping that the 512MB of memory I now have would ensure my database
(for just 6,000 songs) could reside in memory  give super-fast access.
Unfortunately this cannot be the case.

Is there any way I can persuade MySQL to make better use of memory? Any
other suggestions gratefuly received. Could it be worth raising a bug
for this maybe?

Cheers,

Richard

2006-06-26 Thread SadGamerGeek

Is this the sort of problem that is fixed by the split scanner
functionality in the new 6.5 version?

If so, I'm tempted to upgrade, but I guess it depends on how stable the
beta version currently is (especialy as this gets used by the
girlfriend.)

Cheers,

Richard

2006-06-26 Thread SadGamerGeek

I have a Squeezebox 3

I'm at work at the mo, so don't have any URLs, but the Virgin station
is the standard one that shows the AM/FM frequencies in the
description. I have also tried this with Radio 4 live streaming, and it
has exactly the same problem.

Cheers,

Richard

Just to confirm, this happens with all AlienBBC streamed stations I have
tried.


Any help much appreciated.

Cheers,

Richard
