Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Community Firmware for Squeezebox Radio/Touch/Controller and LMS 8

Suddenly, a couple of days into my new Pixel 3XL and less than a day after uprading to Android 10, Squeeze Ctrl and/or SB Player has ceased working properly. It will play a track for a few seconds...or sometimes up to a minute or so, the the audio stops. The progress bar continues but in silence. If I skip to the next track, audio again for a few seconds...lather, rinse, repeat.

It's a pity that Android made that change. It sounds difficult and probably not worthwhile. I'll get used to the lack of EQ.

This may be to do with Android 9 (Pie). I can't find an equalizer app that will function with SBPlayer/Squeeze Ctrl. I think it's because they're all designed to only work with apps that "start an audio session". I don't know what that actually means. Do your apps not do this, and is this solvable?

It may not be important to report more about this behavior, but I will, because it may or may not be consistent with what you've found, and may be useful. Since I use the tablet exclusively as an at-home controller, the server was set up as a local I.P. (192.168.1.xxx) and that always worked fine. But has stopped working. I changed it to the hostname I use for remote access (hostname.dyndns.org) and it works just fine. I assume that if I change it to the VPN IP that host points to, that would work too.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Annouce: Squeeze Control, a squeezebox remote app, is now available for Android
I'd like to describe a behavior that I can't seem to configure my way out of. I launch Squeeze Ctrl and the appropriate meta data appears on my car's display. I can numerous tracks and the data updates as expected. If I use the display or the steering wheel controls to skip a track, it works just once. It advances, the subsequent track (and following tracks) will not display meta data, and I can't advance tracks anymore after that first time. If I then go into SB Player and disconnect and reconnect, the music will stop and then resume as expected. When I reopen Squeeze Ctrl, the new meta data displays, but the whole cycle starts over.

I just set this up and it's sort of working and sort of not. I have the server installed and running with a whopping 19 track library. I have it forwarding ports through my VPN service and I have a dyndns hostname working with it. I can access the UI from the local network IP, the VPN IP or the hostname. I have Squeezeplayer and Orange Squeeze installed on my tablet and I can use any controller or browser to play music to the tablet which has been configured in Orange Squeeze to use the new library with the hostname and port number. Here's the weird part. I can't mount any other player to the new library. I added it on my phone and the phone doesn't see itself as a player...though the phone can control playback on the tablet.

OK, before I ask my question...I *know*..."fix your tags." I'm not fixing my tags. If that bothers you to the point of lecturing me, please consider ignoring this thread entirely. Would it be possible to write a plugin that takes control over artwork handling by LMS? Ideally it would be user configurable. I'd like it to allow me to enforce rules. My rules would be as follows, someone else' might be different. - If a track has embedded art, default to this. If not, then: - Default folder art. If not, then: - Default to folder art a level up, or a level up, or... - If no folder art is found all the way to the top level, use placeholder art. - NEVER guess. Ideally, the plugin would let me provide a top-level placeholder of my own.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Annouce: Squeeze Control, a squeezebox remote app, is now available for Android
I now strongly suspect that this issue relates to my carrier's rollout of Android 8.0 to my phone, which eliminated AVRCP 1.3and default to AVRCP 1.4. I further believe that Andrid 8.1 restores AVRCP 1.3 to Developer Options. I don't know when or if my phone will get Android 8.1. It would be useful to confirm Bluetooth Controls are working properly for devices running AVRCP 1.3, and not working properly for devices which are not.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Annouce: Squeeze Control, a squeezebox remote app, is now available for Android
Great, thanks for the help. I'm really liking the way this app functions. I have a question that's sort of peripheral. Do you have any insight into what determines how an app such as this interacts with a car's infotainment system? Most audio apps on my phone function properly, inasmuch as artist, title and album metadata display on the car's display and the car's controls will pause and skip tracks. In the past this included the LMS controller app I've been using, although 'artist' data never did. Some time ago it all stopped interacting. Only Bluetooth audio going from the phone to the car functions. I'd been hoping that Squeeze Ctrl would successfully restore this functionality but it doesn't seem to. Nothing to do with the car's firmware had changed. The phone hasn't experienced a major Android version upgrade.

I manage my ports through my VPN service and they're already configured.
I use a different port that 9000. It all works fine with the
Squeezeplayer and the controller app I've been using. I wanted to try
yours. I also maintain a host name for my server on dyndns.org. I tried
configuring with both the host name and with the IP number for my
server. Neither worked. There's a place to put in a port number on SB
Player but not on Squeeze Ctrl.

The larger display and reduced dashboard clutter don't offer me enough incentive to use Android Auto. My needs will still best be served by having my phone in a dash mount, connected via Bluetooth.

Disabling the plugin, restarting the server, enabling the plugin and restarting the server fixed it. It's working in Orange Squeeze.

I find that I need this plugin as well. I've done as described but on my settings>plugins tab I see "Plugin failed to load." It's reading something to know the plugin is there, who authored it and what it's called, so I don't think the path is wrong. FYI it's in c:/Program Files/Squeezebox/server/Plugins/Playlistman 6.1/Playlistman Is that where the files should be?

Thanks for the reply. My interest is in accessing files of my own, that I've favorited and added to a playlist as part of my own workflow. Once I've used LMS to earmark a set of files for use, I need to have copies of those files in another location. I'm doing that one file at a time, as described above. Tanscoding isn't necessary and I've got control over what's in the playlist and they're all local files. I've never used the CLI for LMS. Do you know if there's a tutorial somewhere? jstraw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103879 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I'm at a computer with LMS open in a browser. I have a playlist loaded. I can select each track one at a time in the right hand frame, click on the "more" icon, then click on the file link in the left hand frame, then select "save" in the pop-up. Each file can be saved to the browser's download directory. Rather than three mouse-clicks for each file, I'm interested in a plugin that will automate the process of downloading all of the files in the playlist. jstraw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103879 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
