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] Spotty on aarch64-linux?

2017-10-08 Thread dsdreamer

After a little more research...

Code:


  cd ~
  curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
  source $HOME/.cargo/env
  git clone https://github.com/michaelherger/spotty.git
  cd ./spotty/src
  cargo build -j 1 --release
  cd ../target/release/
  sudo cp spotty /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/Bin
  


The -j 1 is to only have one compilation thread running at a time
because each rustc process can take a whole GB of RAM on some of the
more complex source file, and the machine grinds to a halt if swap space
is ever needed.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty on aarch64-linux?

2017-10-07 Thread dsdreamer

Use armhf binaries, as this is all I can get right now.

Code:


  sudo apt-get install libc6:armhf libncurses5:armhf libstdc++6:armhf
  



And, (sorry about the kludge)

Code:


  cd ./Cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/Spotty/Bin/arm-linux
  cp spotty-hf ../spotty/spotty
  cp pv-hf ../pv-spotty
  



All appears to be working now under the following system.

Code:


  Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.1 - 1505480690 @ Fri Sep 15 22:32:08 UTC

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty on aarch64-linux?

2017-10-05 Thread dsdreamer

Hi,

I wonder if there is a possibility to get Spotty's helper programs
compiled for Debian / aarch64-linux?

The only source file I could find is this one:
https://github.com/michaelherger/spotty/tree/master/src.  Is this
sufficient to build the missing executables, if I have installed a rust
compiler? 

Charles.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty v1.1.0

2017-07-18 Thread dsdreamer

I just installed 1.2.1 on my LMS server (a Wandboard Quad running
Debian); no issues at all. I switched from .wav to .flac transcoding,
since the IMX6 is easily powerful enough, but there was nothing else to
do but enjoy! Great work!

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

2015-03-15 Thread dsdreamer

I've got to admit I was not optimistic that Triode would be in a
position to help us out *once again* but I am extremely glad to know he
is (i) alive and well and (ii) able and willing to make the extensive
necessary changes to adapt BBCiPlayer to the BBC's latest streaming
infrastructure revamp.

Am running v1.3.1alpha2 from outside the UK. Everything seems to work,
as long as one has the wit to select Listen Live (non-UK) rather then
just Listen Live.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl

 Yes, but do you know for a fact that this is SrvrPowerCtrl's fault? 
 I.e., have you tested 7.5.1 on your Vortexbox without SrvrPowerCtrl
 being installed and then tried to manually suspend, say via ssh and a
 pm-suspend command?

I did precisely what you suggested (and reported it in this thread). 

dsdreamer;590980 Wrote: 
 
 
 On the other hand, if I suspend using pm-suspend from the command line,
 and bring the machine back by attempting to browse my library, it comes
 back okay without needing any additional steps when woken up.
 

I know at least one other poster on this thread sees the same thing
(see post #1516.) 

I also know you have many irons in the fire at the moment, and I am
grateful that your plugin does work under recent SBS 7.52 nightlies.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl

2010-12-10 Thread dsdreamer

gharris999;593950 Wrote: 
 Just curious: is there a reason that you DON'T want to use 7.52?  As a
 long time SBS user (going back to slimserver v 4.x days) I've always
 regarded the testing version, while stamped as beta, actually more
 stable than the released version.  It's those small, incremental
 bug-fixes that make it into the trunk code of the released version that
 make all the difference, IMHO.  7.6 is, in some ways, still really
 alpha, though I've personally been running it as my production SBS
 since last April.

I am okay to continue using 7.5.2, which was already my plan of action,
since I do like to use your plugin.

I guess I was hoping that for the users of the latest Vortexbox
release, either that SvrPowerControl is working for them, (perhaps
indicating that my home-brew hardware is atypical), or that a fix could
eventually be provided. 

From my own selfish perspective, I do not need any further help, but
wanted to report my findings anyway. Thanks for your work on
SvrPowerControl.

 Okay, I'll keep a look out on this thread to see if you find anything
 not working. That'll be much appreciated.

I could not get SvrPowerControl to work with the latest 1.6 Vortexbox
running Perl 5.12, with a stock Vortexbox install on an Intel Atom 510
machine. The server would suspend and resume as desired, but the SBS
process would be running but unresponsive when the machine resumed.

However, when I used yum to install the testing version of SBS
(7.5.2), I was back in business. 

If you have a positive sighting of SvrPowerControl running under FC
14/Perl 5.12 using the released SBS (7.5.1), please let me know. I
couldn't get this combo to work.

 I have updated one of my machines to Fedora 14 via preupgrade but I
 haven't tested SrvrPowerCtrl on it yet.  I'm not familiar enough with
 the differences between perl 5.10 and 5.12 to anticipate whether or not
 things were likely to break in my code.  I'll have to give it a thorough
 tire-kicking over the next few days and report back to you if I see any
 problems.
