Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Alternatives to spotify / spotty?
I have been thinking of giving Deezer a go as an alternative to Spotify. According to my settings, I have the Deezer plugin installed but I do not see any sign of it in the UI. For example, Spotty appears under My Apps on the Web UI but I have never seen anything related to Deezer. Is there something I need to do to enable it? BTW I do not have a Deezer account yet. I am just trying to understand the steps needed to make it available in my Squeezebox devices. It would be a dealbreaker if it is not possible for any reason as I would want it to be my primary mode of access.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] For the brave only: the Spotty Spotify implementation
Thanks Michael. I am using the Odroid as a server. I went ahead and have had some success. The basic installation steps seemed to work without issue and Spotty is showing up in My Apps. I wasn't able to authenticate via my Spotify app on my Android phone. It wasn't showing any devices at all (not even the phone itself which was playing at the time, though subsequently I installed the PC desktop Spotify app and I do now see that on my phone). Manual entry of credentials allowed me to run the Spotty app via the web interface and I played something from my Spotify library on a Boom I have in the room. So essentially I think it is working but I'm still not able to see it as a device from my phone. Is that what is referred to as 'Spotify Connect'? (Sorry, I'm still catching up on this!) In case it's relevant I am running Max2Play/LMS 7.9.0 on the Odroid. Is it worth trying a nightly 7.9.1?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] For the brave only: the Spotty Spotify implementation
Hi, I'm a long time SB user but completely new to Spotify, having just succumbed to my kids' pleading and signed up to a family account. Now that I am paying for it, I would like to see if I can get it working with my SB system. There seems to be more than one way to do this and to be honest I am a bit confused. Maybe I could ask a few questions... 1. Even though the title of the thread suggests bleeding edge, has this implementation stabilised now to the extent that it might be recommended to a new user? If not, what approach would be recommended and can someone point me to simple up to date instructions? Assuming I do proceed with the new approach... 2. Looking at the initial post, there is some interaction with MySB implied. I have never to my knowledge used MySB (other than setting up an account a long time ago) - I've always been a local server/local music collection SB user. I'm guessing that there is some assumed knowledge of setting up a Spotify account on MySB. Is there some explanation of this somewhere? Is MySB needed whatever approach is taken with Spotify? 3. Hardware compatibility was mentioned as a possible issue. The thread has got to an overwhelming size now and I haven't read much of it so I apologise if this is already answered but is it known whether an Odroid U3 will work? (If not known, I am happy to try and report back.) Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Max2Play on Odroid U3 : nfs mount Synology Diskstation music folder
I reinstated my old Raspberry Pi running SqueezePlug and I find that I am able to mount the nfs share there without any issues with permissions. The mount command I used there is: mount -o nolock :/volume1/music /mnt/.../music I'm not sure why the "-o nolock" here; I found this in my bash history. No doubt it was advised on some website I found at some point. In any case, I tried this option on the U3 to no avail.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Max2Play on Odroid U3 : nfs mount Synology Diskstation music folder
Not really sure whether this should go in this forum, 3rd party hardware or Linux but I'll try here as it might be Max2Play specific. Basically, I am tearing my hair out trying to get my music folder, on a Synology DS215j NAS, mounted as an nfs share in my Max2Play system running on an Odroid U3. This set up is fairly new to me. The annoying thing is that I had this working until yesterday but then I rebooted the Odroid. I have never been able to get it to work via the Max2Play web interface but I previously got the mount to work via the command line having ssh'ed into the Odroid. Stupidly, I did not write down what I did, nor did I capture it in the fstab, and I find that the bash history is not preserved between reboots. I have followed the' Synology instructions for setting up the share' (https://www.synology.com/en-uk/knowledgebase/DSM/tutorial/File_Sharing/How_to_access_files_on_Synology_NAS_within_the_local_network_NFS). These suggest that doing something like: mount :/volume1/music /mnt/music should work (I have created the target directory on the Odroid). In fact the mount does work but the problem is with permissions. If I do ls -a /mnt/music, I see this sort of thing: d- 7 1026 users 4096 nov 11 2015 flac flac is one of the subdirectories of the music folder I am sharing from the NAS. All I can think is that I previously used some additional options with the mount command.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBCiPlayer Plugins - an alternative quick fix guide
Recently I finally got around to putting my Odroid U3 properly into service to replace my v1 Pi-based server. This is using Max2Play. I followed the quick fix guide in the current thread to get the BBC plugins up and running and they are working great apart from one thing. When I play a live stream, there is no logo showing - just a blank screen. I get this on the Touch, Radio and in Orange Squeeze on my phone. It's not a major problem but I wondered if I'd missed something in the set up or whether this is something that just isn't working at the moment. Last time I asked for advice on the BBC plugins on this forum, it was on the main BBCiPlayer thread and I ended up following this present set of instructions. Looking back at my post there and the replies, there was some mention of a menu.opml file and I wonder if this had something to do with this problem but I'm not able to figure out from what was written there exactly what I had to do (in particular, where to get it from). I'm dubious anyway with it not being mentioned in the instructions in the first post of this thread, which seems to have been actively kept up to date. Apologies if I'm being dense but thanks in advance for any advice!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)
I only just noticed that Listen Again is not working and find I am a bit late to the party. It looks like there is a fix but there are a lot of posts now and I'm not sure I have been able to glean from the threads here exactly what I need to do. In case it makes any difference I'm running a Raspberry Pi (old model) with Squeezeplug. My LMS version is 7.8.1. When things went awry earlier in the year I seem to recall that the fix involved editing BBCXMLParser.pm and replacing the ffmpeg executable. Also, I have a zip file on my PC containing menu.opml dating from around the right time, so I suspect I replaced that on the Pi too though to be honest I don't remember what I did. I recall that there was an alternative fix at the time involving a new plugin version from Triode but I did not follow that fix. I found the recent post from utgg with a modified BBCXMLParser.xml but I think something I have read in this thread suggests that the new plugin might also be needed for the current fix. Is that correct? And, if so, that raises a couple of questions for me: how exactly do I install that plugin; and do I need to back out any of the changes I made earlier in the year?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)
For live streams, I have been making do with setting a couple of tune-in URLs as favourites while I saw how things would settle down but I'd like to sort it now. My server is running on a Raspberry Pi. I have now read the quick fix thread and I am fairly comfortable with what I need to do except that I recall there were some issues with ffmpeg, especially on the Raspberry Pi. I was only half following the main iPlayer plugin thread when all this was kicking off but I think it was something to do with processes being left over. I also recall there was discussion about particular versions and I think someone was experimenting with some sort of wrapper script at one stage? I have tried reading through bits of this thread again but I couldn't see if or where things got resolved. Anyway, I would be *really* grateful if some kind person could give me a quick summary of whether there was a definitive solution and if so what needs to be done wrt ffmpeg on Raspberry Pi.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
First - apologies if this is a problem that has already been covered. I have tried searching but have not been able to find anything. I have iPeng 1.2.8 installed and it works great if I use the Custom Browse menu entry to get to my music. However, if I use the Artists, Albums, etc., buttons along the bottom of the screen, the song listings show up as empty. So for example, if I choose a particular artist in the Artists list, I see two lines shown on the page that is shown: the first is "All Songs" and the second the artist name. If I select "All Songs" I just see "Add all (0)" on the next page that is shown. If I start with the "Albums" button and select an album from there I get "Add all (0)" again. -- Zoltan Zoltan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9998 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPod touch - what size for iPeng?
I've also been toying with the idea of getting an ipod touch and while iPeng is the main attraction, if I'm going to justify to myself spending that much, I want it to be more than a remote for my SBs, albeit a super-funky one! I'd like at least for it to be a decent mp3 player but I've come across quite a few reports that its sound quality isn't great, which I find a bit offputting. I'd welcome any comments on this. (I've maybe been a bit spoilt in this regard as I still use my iRiver H140 and that's generally regarded as one of the best sounding mp3 players there has been.) The other aspect of the Touch that interests me is as a way of accessing the web and email. How usable is it with such a small screen and no keyboard? Finally, is it really necessary to use iTunes with it? I had it installed once and I really didn't get on with it. I seem to recall it was annoying even when I wasn't using it - kept hassling me about downloading updates and other Apple stuff! -- Zoltan Zoltan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9998 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75944 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
