Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] FLAC 1.4.2 support?
If you really want to be able to play 32 bit flac (or 24 bit for that matter as that does not play as well on Touch/Radio/Receiver) you can always configure LMS to transcode flac to pcm before streaming to the player. Do note though that if you have multiple players playing different streams this may require you to get a more powerful machine for running LMS. gordonb3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116964 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Either way, I figured the skin referenced the json language files inside its tree for the browser to display the desired language, but it turns out that the i18n directives in the web pages are handled by the web server component. As for running a second instance to tackle the language issue, `compiling` the web pages to a fixed language seems like a much better idea to me. ---- gordonb3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109624 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

That is somewhat of an issue. Because I myself am more comfortable with the interface being in English whereas my kid (who uses the mobile device and thus for whom I installed Material) rather sees Dutch. It would be nice if the language could be selected per device, but checking the cookies that my own machine sends to LMS it seems that in the main interface language is a global setting as well, be it that the main interface allows changing the language on the fly whereas Material requires a restart of LMS? ---- gordonb3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109624 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Try `bubba` overlay (layman). It contains an ebuild for LMS 8.0 and required CPAN modules not available in the regular portage tree. As this build follows the Gentoo method it will keep in sync with world updates (may require running with `--bdeps=y` or run `perl-cleaner --all` afterwards). gordonb3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114717 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Except that 10053 points to either the client or some network component closing the socket. If LMS closed the connection you would have seen a 10054. Should also note that retransmit requests are not done by the receiver (i.e. the peer waiting for some response) but the sender. Since the socket is created as "non blocking", not receiving an ACK from the server likely causes the app to go into a loop until finally giving up (and generating the 10053), which explains the 100% CPU you're seeing. Is your switch capable of port mirroring? If so you could bind your Pi to receive the same data as the windows machine and use tcpdump to verify what wireshark is telling you on the Windows machine. This would allow you to see whether it is the outgoing traffic being blocked, or the incoming. ---- gordonb3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113554 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] SqueezeLite on Windows pausing, interruption, dropout of audio every 5 minutes
Yeah, that was one of the two returns I expected to see. The `vague description`is somewhat of a trademark for Microsoft - I guess it helps them sell courses in understanding WTF might be going on and in fact most people that do are very proud to be able to call themselves MCSE when they pass. What you need to understand here is that this error is a client-side generated error. Effectively what it means is that something between your application and the server, but not the server itself, actively says 'NO'. Yes that is still pretty vague, but if that Pi you own is connected through the same switch to the LMS host that pretty much confines the issue to the Windows machine and you'll most likely be looking at some kind of malware blocker. ---- gordonb3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113554 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

RAID 5 distributes disk blocks in a 2/3 ratio across three disks, meaning that (unlike with RAID 1) no disk holds a complete copy of the data. A bonus is that this improves disk read speed because the data must be read from two disks. A fourth disk is always a spare with RAID 5, but I guess that a smart controller might rotate the roles on a regular base to get the best out of disk life time. PS something that most people tend to overlook is that the disks entered into a RAID configuration are usually the same brand and size and also bought at the same time, thus with a high probability of being from the same manufacturing batch and consequently with a high probability of failing around the same time. RAID is not a substitute for backups and you wouldn't be the first one to lose a substantial amount of data on account of a second disk failing during RAID reconstruction. > > >> If after some time (probably about 5 minutes or so) you see a red X > appear over the mapped drive > > Good suggestion, but I confirmed that there is no network outage.

It's a sort of OS license-/resource saving mechanism of the workstation that acts as a `server` to forcibly close the connection if it hasn't seen any activity on it for some time. When you click the deactivated mapping it instantly reconnects, but of course if you have something more vital going on like a database connection, that will have been broken and the application will need to be restarted. We see that issue a lot on tiny businesses (<5 computers). gordonb3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113554 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] SqueezeLite on Windows pausing, interruption, dropout of audio every 5 minutes
Oh... That's pretty interesting. Apparently the Synology shell is something of a virtualization layer on top of the actual OS. Shame that the SSM tool does not display vital drive information like LCC, but with a 20 minute sleep setting I would not expect issues with park/unpark. Should this be the case anyway you should definitely be able to identify it by a ticking sound coming from the unit. Do note that RAID 5 is a three disk configuration, so one of your disks must function as a spare. Does SSM tell you which one is which, i.e. which one is the spare? Two types of logic might apply here, just follow the numerical order or skip one of the centre two disks to reduce heat exchange between the disks, so drawing any conclusions from it will most likely prove wrong, but I would be very suspicious if the spare happened to be sda. That said, I think we may have gotten off-track here a bit as I was wondering if you could verify this behaviour with the Duet you own and then noticed that you had mentioned to run piCorePlayer as well and not seeing the issue there. That impluiues that the problem is on the client side, not the server. It may be interesting to verify TCP connectivity on other protocols, in particular SMB. Do you have active drive mappings to the Synology on the Windows client? If not, create one and keep an Explorer window with folder listing open without clicking the mapped drive. If after some time (probably about 5 minutes or so) you see a red X appear over the mapped drive this means that the TCP connection has actively been disconnected, which should not happen. gordonb3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113554 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] SqueezeLite on Windows pausing, interruption, dropout of audio every 5 minutes
Would have been nice if the log had displayed the winsock error code rather than print `unknown` trying to be more verbose about it. Is SqueezeLite a 64-bit app? I've seen applications report 8-byte length winsock errors that need to be masked 0x to resolve to a usable 10xxx decimal error code. The `sendHELO`entries in the log do give some indication though that these will likely be 10053 (Abort) and/or 10060 (Timeout). You could probably trace this with wireshark or a similar TCP dumping tool. I'm not real sure how Synology handles things internally, but is it possible that your hard drives are set to park when they are not in use? Note that if you have installed `green` drives they will actually do that themselves without the OS telling them. Run `smartctl -a /dev/sda` on the Synology (... sdb, sdc - however many drives you have installed and which ones contain any music files) and check the `Load_Cycle_Count`- if that's a really high number you are in trouble and the disk may in fact be near to EOL. If you configured RAID you may also want to run `btrfs device stats` to see if it reports any errors. ---- gordonb3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113554 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
