Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Squeezelite-X
@rgdawson wow, a really nice job. Been looking for a more modern and functional replacement for Squeezeplay, for ages and this is definitely it! Whats more, fantastic and responsive support from the author what more could anyone want? Well, actually .. 😊 I have a small media key integration problem with the Play/Pause media key on my Logitech K270 keyboard. To be fair, its not really an SL-X problem since a quick Goggle will show lots of people having problems with this media key, on this keyboard (and other Logitech keyboards, as well). Briefly, the K270 keyboard has four media hot keys in the top left corner (Play/Pause, Mute, Volume Down and Volume Up), they are all functional in SL-X *except *the Play/Pause key which has no effect whatsoever, regardless of the SL-X Media Key Integration settings. The key mappings are not accessible via Logitechs SetPoint software and the remaining [remappable] softkeys cannot be programmed with media functions. There are suggestions that if the correct string was in -:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP\players.ini-, this key might(!) work, but who knows. So, are there any SL-X users out there, with Logitech K270 keyboards, whove managed to get the Play/Pause media key working within SL-X? Failing that, any chance of Greg adding some simple keyboard controls a la VLC or similar? For example spacebar=Pause/Play, n=next track, p=previous track would probably do it! Anyway, regardless of the above, thanks again for a really neat addition to the Squeezebox eco system enz01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41282 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108550 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Squeezelite-X
Hi @rgdawson Really nice work on SQX. At last, I've found something to replace Squeezeplay (which, let's face it, was getting long in the tooth!) When listening to music, I have the minibrowser open on my second screen all the time so I can see what track is playing (and, hey, I like album art!). However, when the playlist runs out, I then have to go back to the SQX icon in the task bar or system tray, and open SQX from it. I can then select a new playlist, dismiss the SQX window and carry on listening via the mini browser. Although it only saves a few extra clicks, it would be great if you could invoke the SQX window directly from the minibrowser (and even invoke the minibrowser from the SQX window, although IMHO that's much more secondary to invoking from the minibrowser) Anyway, thanks for a great app and the excellent support and development you've provided on it ---- enz01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41282 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108550 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] LmsUpdate and LmsRepack - Synology 8.0.* packages
Sigh, my 10-year old Vortexbox has finally given up the ghost so my music library is temporarily playing through VLC, and my 2 Booms are silent. The good news is that I have a Synology DS220+ on order and it appears that I can install LMS8 on it and get my Booms back on line. However, the Synology OS is brand-new to me and Im currently on a fairly steep learning curve. That being the case, Im a little confused by the instructions here as to how to install LMS8 (especially since Synology no longer seem to have an official Logitech package in their list) and hope someone can help me out. In post #1, the instructions state that Perl must be installed before LMS8. However, the instructions in #115 make no mention of the Perl install and simply talk about sourcing and installing the LMS package. Similarly, post #1 seems to indicate that I require a specific package (x86_64 in the case of a DS220+) and elsewhere there seems to be an implication that I need to specifically pick this up from the -sourceforge -repository and sideload it into Package Centre. Lastly, even after reading the entire 7.9.2 and 8.0 threads(!), Im confused by the relationship between LmsUpdate and LmsRepack If someone could summarise the required install steps on a brand-new Synology NAS (DS220+ in my case) that would be great. I dont need to know which buttons to press (Ive been playing around with Synologys DSM simulator and am reasonably happy with using Package Centre), just what needs to be installed, from where and in which order. Grateful thanks for all thoughts and comments. Im really looking forward to getting my SQ environment back up and running and am especially grateful to pinkdot and everyone else who have worked so hard to keep SBS/LMS alive enz01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41282 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111876 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] LmsUpdate and LmsRepack - Synology 8.0.* packages
Many thanks for the swift reply and the clarification re installing LMS8. Whilst browsing the v8 thread, I noticed some posts concerning the requirement for firmware updates to Touch and Radio devices in order for them to connect to LMS8. Am I correct in assuming that no such firmware upgrades are required for my 2 Booms? enz01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41282 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111876 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] LmsUpdate and LmsRepack - Synology 8.0.* packages
Good Afternoon. Have just purchased a DS220+ and want to put LMS8 on it so I can carry on playing music via my BOOM's. Following your instructions at the start of this thread, I have: 1. Installed PERL 2, In Package Centre Settings, Set Trust Level To 'Any Publisher' and added a package source of "Logitech Media Server" at a location of https://pinkdot.myds.me/sspks/ 3. As predicted, a 'Community' tab has appeared in the Package Centre. >From your notes, I would expect it to show an LMS package which I could then install. However, instead, it is totally blank! This sounds like the same sort of problem that Jacob was experiencing a couple of posts previously so any advice you can give would be much appreciated. The NAS is brand-new, based in the UK on my house local [windows] network and has no packages other than File Station, OAuth Service and PERL installed. It is configured as a 2-disk RAID SHR, using btrfs file system. The only change from the default set-up is that I have shifted from using DHCP to a Static IP plus have created 1 Storage pool, 1 volume and 2 shared folders. The DMS version is the latest i.e. v6.2.3-25426 Update 2. Since the above config is about as vanilla as it gets. I'd appreciate any thoughts as to why the LMS8 package is not showing up in the repo Many thanks ---- enz01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41282 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111876 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBC iPlayer rebuffering
Just to confirm that this problem is defo affecting the vanilla live BBC streams, as well. Currently running LMS 7.8.0 on a dedicated Vortexbox Appliance in the UK and have been a long-time listener to the bog-standard BBC streams [mainly] via a Boom, but sometimes via Squeezeplay/Desktop PC. Since I am selecting the streams from the standard LMS Radio menu, I assume that they are the Shoutcast mp3 streams (LMS 'playing' pane shows [for example] -BBC Radio 4 (London), BBC Radio 4 93.5, 128kbps CBR, Radio-). Before the BBC started this messing around, there were occasional rebuffers (never more than one or twice a day) but now, there is a high incidence of intermittent but frequent stuttering/rebuffering which makes the stream all but unlistenable. Occurrence doesn't seem to conform to any observable pattern or audience size (e.g. I've had it occurring in the middle of the afternoon whilst 8.30 in the morning was fine) but, when it does kick in, rebuffering seems to occur every 30 secs or so and goes on for ages. It's definitely a BBC problem cos, whilst it's occurring, if you switch to a non-BBC stream (e.g. Radio Paradise, Bay Smooth Jazz etc), they play perfectly. I get the impression that it occurs less frequently with Squeezeplay than it does with the Boom but I haven't yet got round to properly testing this, yet. My [non-technical] wife is an avid BBC listener, is rapidly loosing her patience with this situation and is starting to make veiled (and not so veiled) threats about getting shot of this "internet radio junk" and getting a simple DAB radio. I was planning to install Triode's plugin hoping in the hope that the problem was only associated with the Shoutcast streams but am I correct in thinking that people are also seeing this rebuffering via his iPlayer live stream?
