Was able to send LMS sound just fine to my DirecTV receivers.  Having 3,
I can also couple 1 or more together and send sound simultaneously.

The LMS display shows on the screen as well, so I see an album cover of
what is playing.  Nice.

One day, perhaps I will get a nice TV with great sound system.  Then use
LMS to play music.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)

2022-01-07 Thread freelsjd


I have a new ATT DirecTV Stream service in my house.  It comes with nice
Google integration which surprised me.  One feature is to be able to
cast sound from the TV to Google speakers.  Interestingly, the
CastBridge plugin that I have been using now for sometime with my LMS
server also shows up the DirecTV boxes as a cast device.  So, my
questions: (1) has anyone used this to play the DirecTV sound to an LMS
server ?, (2) Has anyone used this to play the LMS sound to a DirecTV ? 
If the answer to (1) or (2) is Yes, how does one go about linking these
up ?  I think it would be especially cool to be able to play TV sound
though LMS.

I realized when you pointed me to my configuration file that I had some
old combinations of cast speaker setups in there.  I have erased and
rebuilt that file a few times now to clean up.

I had already updated to the latest castbridge plugin (v1.46.4).

Things look to be running smoothly now.  I will post back if it hangs
again.

Thank you so much for a great plugin !

Philippe, I switched to the static-build version.  I cannot see any cpu
hang of any kind thus far.  When I streamed a flac channel from radio
paradise, the cpu got up to 70-80%, but then going back to acc-320K gets
down to 10% or so.  Even lower to 4% for lower bit rate channels.  

I suppose the static-build will require more memory, but that is not a
problem on this machine.  Wish I had thought to try that earlier.

I am attaching my configuration anyway to fulfill your request. Even
though the .xml file is a test file, the uploader here refuses, so I
changed it to .txt file extension so it would upload.

If it hangs again, I will post back again to this thread.

Thanks so much.  This plugin is great to have and use !

Philippe, apologize for taking so long to respond to your request.  I
had some time today to do this.  I am attaching the log file after I
updated the plugin yesterday and restarted.  I played something today to
produce the hanging plugin, and now sending you the log file.

I stop all devices playing, clear the playlist.  Then exit from the LMS
desktop app in the browser.  Make sure all players are turned off. 
Nothing is playing.  All is quite.  I go to bed and sleep.

come in the next day, and there is the plugin running 100% cpu on a
single core.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)

2021-01-03 Thread freelsjd


Just to emphasize, I have attached an image shot of the top screen
output showing squeeze2cast plugin running flat out at 100% cpu on a
single core of my 8-core server.  I can stop it manually with the kill
command, or I can disable the plugin and restart LMS to stop it.  Of
course, I need to re-install it and restart LMS if I go the 2nd route. 
Either way is a nuisance.  Hope we can get this fixed together since I
do really like the squeeze2cast plugin and believe it is a way to the
future in keeping LMS an active software platform since cast will be
with us for some time.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)

2020-12-31 Thread freelsjd


Hellp Philippe,

I am happy to report that the stereo cast feature does, indeed, work
fine in the chromecast plugin.  While it does not yield quite as strong
a stereo separation as one might expect, but it does indeed work !  I
picked a song I knew had strong separation (what is and what should
never be by Led Zeppelin) and there is definitely a left and right
working within a pair of identical speakers that I have set up to be a
"speaker pair" in the android google home app.  It works in LMS.  Now
that is pretty darn cool if you ask me !  The speakers I am testing are
the inexpensive Next mini (gen 2).  I am wondering what this would sound
like with the really nice Home Max or Nest Audio.  To me, this is a game
changer for chromecast technology.

On the run away chromecast plugin app, I have reported this before, and
it persists.  I would be happy to debug this and eliminate the problem. 
The only thing I can think of is that if I don't stop the cast before I
stop LMS, perhaps it keeps running because of that.  I have seen similar
issues outside of LMS using a phone app that plays sound through a cast
speaker.  I can turn off the app on the phone, or even turn off the
phone altogether, or take it completely out of the house, and the cast
speakers will continue to keep playing until I uncast the speakers with
the Google Home app on the phone.  Perhaps it is something similar going
on with this LMS plugin.  The only way I can consistently get rid of it
is to kill the process on my Linux server while it is running one of my
cores at 100% cpu with no sound being played at all.

I just started using the stereo feature of chrome-cast speakers (only
works on identical speakers).  It is very nice indeed.  Is it possible
to add this feature to this LMS plugin ?

Also, is there a way to prevent the runaway cpu on this plugin ? I had
to remove it due to this problem.  I really would like to use it, but
not worth constantly having to manually kill the plugin process in order
to stop the runaway cpu at 100%.

Hello Michael,

I had stopped LMS until I could get back to this today as a precaution
to prevent my log files from getting too large.  That made it convenient
to wipe and touch the cache.db file as you recommended.

Apparently, that is all that was needed as I can now access spotty as
normal.  Also, my client ID must be OK or it would not work.

Thank you very much for you help.  Is there any way we can compensate
you for the help ?

Also thanks for the plugins and LMS support.

Stay Safe !

Michael, I enabled plugin.spotty to debugging level.  Also enabled the

Yes.  That is what started it all.  I have deleted the plugin
connection, which gets me to the connect screen with directions to
follow.  I follow those directions including playing spotify on my
android phone.  I then choose the alternate play device from my phone,
and choose the LMS Spotty authorization.  I click that, the LMS web

that I am authenticated and connected.  I then go back to the main LMS

The wrong helper (aarch64) was only installed briefly in an effort to
try to get things working.  It is now removed.  The helper that is
installed is the automatically installed version and shown on the screen
as

/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/Spotty/Bin/i386-linux/spotty-x86_64
(v0.35.0)

BTW.  Thanks for helping on this especially since you have multiple help

Sorry Michael I thought I indicated before.  The plugin is the new
version 4.4.4, and the helper was not installed before, and I did not
realize I needed a helper for a amd64 debian buster server.  So I went
ahead and installed what appears to be the closest helper based on the

message.  I deleted and reconnected the connection from my android phone
using the spotify app.  Still not connecting on the LMS web interface
when selecting the spotty app.

In the bottom of the web page for the Spotty Plugin settings, there is
one last box entitled Spority Client ID.  As I recall, this is or was
required at one time.  Since nothing was working, I created a new one
and inserted the token in this box as the instructions say to do.  Even
this step did nothing to remedy the problem.  It seems that no matter
what I do, I continue to get this error message to my screen.  By the
way, when running the spotify app from android, it recognizes the
initialization screen, and clears it, and brings back the spotty
settings page just as it is supposed to do.

Hello Michael et al.:  I have been using spotty for quite a while.  I
just updated the plugin to 4.4.3, but this problem has been around at

spotify developers client ID, but nothing seems to help.  The message I
get when trying to start the spotty app from he LMS web interface is:

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)

2020-10-26 Thread freelsjd


Hello, I am using chromecast bridge for some time now.  For the most
part, it works very well, and I enjoy using it.  However, I routinely
notice that after I use it, even if no LMS clients are running and only
the server is active, the chromecast will be running full tilt at 100%
cpu of one of my cores (1/8 cores of amd64 processor).  I can manually
kill it, but this is annoying.  Is there something I need to do to
prevent this, or a setting I can make ?  I will be glad to provide log
file information or other information to help diagnose, just need to
know what to look for and where.  Thanks.

Gotcha.  I am now playing through a Google Home created pair, and it
syncs/plays perfectly.  

Any ideas on why the CPU cycle occurs ?  Could it be related to playing
an LMS-created sync pair ?

Thanks.

Thank you philippe_44.  I had forgetten about not sync with the LMS
devices.  However, I made sure it is only my two mini-next hubs (black
one and an orange one), and it is still a bit off on the sync.  LIke
listening to a little echo going on.  

I launch the bridge using the LMS web interface on my google chrome
using the plugins screen, and hit "apply".  On that same screen is the
configuration file.  I have attached the screenshot file.  The actual
configuration file will not attach, so I am listing below instead.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)

2020-04-11 Thread freelsjd


Hello.  I am using latest versions of both CastBridge plugin and LMS
(1.21.1 and 8.0.0~1586146269) on a Linux/Buster server.  Generally, it
is working great.  However, I have noticed that after I play music using
the plugin on cast devices, the plugin will continually cycle at 100% on
a single core forever until I kill it.  I am exiting incorrectly or some
other user setting I can make to prevent this?  The only other problem
is the sync process is not synced very well and best to only play one
cast device at a time. Can this be tuned ? Finally, a suggestion.  Would
it be possible to play left and right channels separately in a cast
device.  Right now I am thinking of two google mini-nests, but any equal
pair combination would be ideal.  Thanks for such a great plugin.

Hello, I am using the development version 8 of LMS on Debian 10.  I

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Song Info and Song Lyrics (Erland Isaksson) plugins problem

2019-10-05 Thread freelsjd


I wandered over to here
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins and discovered
that the directories for both SongLyrics and SongInfo were owned by
root.root.  Since all the other folders in this directory were owned by
squeezeboxserver.nogroup, I chown to that from root.root.  Then when I
disabled and restarted, the plugins disappeared.

How that ownership occurred is beyond me since I never run or change the
LMS as root.  Perhaps that is related to the plugin problems.

Anyway, good luck and keep using LMS.

OK.  I believe that.  But, now that it is enabled on my system, how do I
get rid of it?  I have tried to disable it in the plugins menu/list,

it?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Song Info and Song Lyrics (Erland Isaksson) plugins problem

2019-10-04 Thread freelsjd


Hello.

I continually get to the LMS web interface the following message at the
bottom typical of any plugin update:

Plugins have been updated - Restart Required (Song Info, Song Lyrics)

However, after the restart, the message is always returned.  If I go to
the plugins page, and unclick to delete, the restart never removes
them.

How can I safely manually delete this plugin and either run without
them, or reinstall cleanly?

Thanks.

P.S.  Is this the best plugin for song lyrics in LMS ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 2.6.x - Spotify Connect for your Squeezebox

2018-11-14 Thread freelsjd


I am a android and google project fi user myself.  I just read where the
android pie (v9) phones were going to provide an automatic vpn mode for
that version and higher with project fi.  my phone is too old to have
v9, so I do not have that right now, but perhaps you have a vpn enabled
now on your phone that may cause something to not connect over your lan.
This new feature is supposed to enable vpn on ALL connections (cell,
wifi, lan, etc.).  Sounds good to have, but for Spotify devices, they
may hide from each other?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] trouble getting spotty 2.4.4 started

2018-09-15 Thread freelsjd


Hello Michael, thank you for you response and help.  Indeed, it was a
permissions problem.  The plugin apparently was installing with the
root.root (UID.GID), but this seems strange since I ran as regular user
to install the plugin.  The error message in /var/log/squeezeserver was
"cannot remove directory for
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/spotty/files: Permission denied at
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/Spotty/Plugin.pm
line 444". I corrected the problem by issuing chown -R
squeezeboxserver.nogroup /var/log/squeezeserver.  Seems to work, but
maybe something to understand why this was necessary?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] trouble getting spotty 2.4.4 started

2018-09-14 Thread freelsjd


I am going to try Spotify again.  I used to run Spotty fine on earlier
trials.  I installed the latest v2.4.4 plugin and restarted LMS.  I can
see spotty on my plugin list.  If I click the spotty app, it tells me to
go to settings, advanced, spotty which I do.  However, the LMS server
just waits with a message it is waiting at the bottom of the screen.  If
I click the settings button on the plugin list for spotty, it also waits
there too.  So basically, I cannot enter my credentials for spotify to
get started.  All other functionality seems to work fine.  I am running
7.9.1 of LMS on my debian/stretch system. All else is fine.

I had not set my new softsqueeze player settings so that the upper bit

Softsqueeze is a great new addition to the squeezebox.

I tried adding a lame filter similar to the others in

about an mplayer switch ?  If had to guess from your list, it is packet
loss because the slimserver it sending out too much data for the
internet connection the server has available.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] realaudio bit rate too fast for AlienBBC

2007-05-07 Thread freelsjd

AlienBBC is working great in most respects.  I can listen to many BBC
sites as well as realaudio through this great plugin.  However, I have
run into a problem on some of the sites which broadcasts at higher rate
than my slimserver can rebroadcast.  If I listen to these station
remotely to my softsqueeze through an ssh tunnel, eventually the sound
becomes garbled as the server cannot keep up with the data stream.  

How can I rebroadcast the AlienBBC outputs at a slower rate similar to
other formats ?
