The only situation where it issues a "play" command is when you select a bookmark in the plugins menu. In my own installation i also have two players which are normally powered down completely (A receiver which only gets power when the amplifier it is connected to is turned on and a bedside radio which i shut down with a script when it's idling).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New plugin for audio bookmarks
Now this is weird. I installed a squeezeserver in a new Ubuntu Server
17.10 installation and ... the plugin works without a problem.
You are now the third user with this problem and i am not able to
reproduce it. The important rows in the log are:

Michael suspected network issues at the time (waitingToPlay=1 indicates
that the server has send data to the player but the player has not yet
started playing).
Does this problem occur only with the radio or also with other clients?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New plugin for audio bookmarks
I got the log. The problem is the same as two other users had before: The squeezeserver starts the playback before it has finished building the playlist. And this prevents my plugin from jumping to the bookmarked track. In their case it was caused by the squeezeserver build for their Synology NAS. This could be solved by switching to a different build for the Synology. At the time i couldn't reproduce the error - but i will setup a squeezeserver based on Ubuntu 17.10 server and see if this installation will also show this weird behaviour. My guess is that this is caused by the rather outdated Ubuntu 17.10 sternenjaeger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57562 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102859 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

This would only be relevant if the delay between the time when you pressed the button to start the playback and the time when it actually starts is ~60 seconds or more. Could you set the debug level for the plugin to info and then create a bookmark and try to start the playback from the bookmark menu.

This is so because there is no "spoken word" flag in the metadata of mp3 tags and the genre values are of course language dependant. Otherwise the plugin would do nothing after the install before you define the genres in the settings. Which perhaps would have been a better default behaviour. I will change this. For now i updated the description text of the plugin. Perhaps this also helps to avoid confusion if somebody installs the plugin and does not look in the settings. A few more notes: I am aware that my plugin could be useful for people with disabilities and also to build a device for children, who then just need to press a button (see below). @All: Please let me know if there are things which i can approve or if you find bugs (i am not an experienced developer for the squeezeserver. I wrote the plugin simply because there wasn't an existing one and i needed it because i listen to a lot of radio plays). I put some work in the plugin to make it also usable for streaming services, because these days you can find a lot of audio books on Spotify, Qobuz etc., but none of the native apps of the streaming services (with the exception of Audible which is unusable on a squeezebox anyway) have a bookmark feature. With a Squeezebox Radio you can assign playlists to the six buttons left and right from the display. When using remote files you need to manually once when you first start the playlist (with the context menu). I never found a way to do this automatically in the plugin, because there is no genre information for remote tracks. And i presume nobody wants automatic bookmarks for music albums :-) I _love_ this device more than any other electronic item in my household. If you have some scripting knowledge or you like to build things yourself there are two other usecases for the plugin: 1) If you use a Squeebox Radio or Boom you can also use the KidsPlay plugin to get a "Sleeping aid" setup, where you just need to press a single button by adding macros for the Preset-Buttons (On the Radio these are the buttons left and right from the screen). I described this here: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?102859-New-plugin-for-audio-bookmarks=865785=1#post865785 You can start a bookmarked playlist without even looking at the radio: * Create a playlist from local files and/or albums from streaming services (There are a lot of audio books on Spotify, Qobuz etc.) * Create macros for 2 buttons as described in the thread mentioned above The first button starts the playback and sets a sleep timer. The second button "freezes" the bookmark at the current position. So you start the playback with the button, fast forward to the position where you fall asleep in the last night and then you press the second button to update the bookmark and freeze it again. When you are just listening you can also press the second button when you notice that the sleep timer kicks in (The volume fades out). This will reset the timer and update the bookmark. 2) And if you built a squeezebox yourself with Philippes remarkable ESP32 implementation of Squeezelite or an raspberry pi with PiCorePlayer, you can add buttons for your device as well with Pippins SqueezeButtonPi tool (which also allows to execute CLI commands by button presses). I tried it with a Pi Zero and the headphone amp from Pimoroni (which has a tiny display and 4 buttons) and it works. But i never got around to build an actual device - it is one thing to cobble together some hardware + software and scripts and it is another thing to build an actual good looking device with a case :-> sternenjaeger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57562 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115279 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Yes i am still here. I had a brief look through the log and i am pretty
sure it is the same problem that Mr. Floppy had with his installation
and which was resolved with an updated version of the squeezebox server
for his Synology NAS.
The log entried are pretty similar. Firstly there is the "no url for
row:{}" message which indicates that the plugin does not get the URL of
the currently played track after the playback is started and additionaly
the same strange waitingToPlay=1 value in the answer to the status
request.
Would it be possible for you to install the same version of the
squeezebox server that solved the problem for Mr. Floppy and see if this
also works for you?

Seeking in tracks from Qobuz works fine with my Boom - at least if i control it with the web interface or iPeng / Squeezeplay etc. But i noticed that seeking does not work when i use the buttons on the device or the remote. I usually don't control the Boom with its buttons because it's hidden under a desk, but i just looked it up in the manual and sure enough: A long press on the "<<" or ">>" buttons should seek in track. But at least in my installation it doesn't (or i am to stupid to press a button...). Neither for remote tracks or local tracks. I tried mp3's and flacs, on a 8.0 and 7.9 server. With "listen 1" i see commands like Code: 00%%%%% ir 7689a05f 50725.101 when long pressing the buttons, but they don't do anything. Previous track / Next track work fine.

Sorry, took a while - the fix was easy but then i had no time to test it. The context menu should now also be visible on older players (At least i can see them on my Boom). I also restrict the context menu to the currently played track (i. e. it is suppressed for other tracks in the playlist). This should work on all clients. Another small improvement: In the previous version the plugin always created it's own playlist if you bookmarked a remote track. I now changed that so that, if you are playing a saved playlist, the bookmark will always be created for this playlist. sternenjaeger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57562 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102859 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

What you could try: Limit the maximum playlist size in the server settings to a really low value (i. e. 10) - My guess is that the bookmarks then work. But i could be wrong. sternenjaeger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57562 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102859 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

According to the documentation this means "A flag telling whether the player isn't actually playing, but still waiting for data or something." I never experienced that - even on my backup server which is just some small raspberry pi compatible thing with no horsepower at all. Also not with remote streams like Spotify. Is it possible that this server and/or the network connection between player and server is really slow? IMHO you should also experience a delay between selecting an album or a playlist and the time the player actually starts playing.

Yes. Same problem as in your previous log. I can't see a reason for
that. What you could do if you feel comfortable with editing code:
Edit the file Plugin.pm - on your server it should be located here:
/volume1/@appstore/SqueezeCenter/Cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/BookmarkHistory/Plugin.pm
Have a look at line 1321. You should see the following statements:
Code:
if (!$request) {
$log->warn("request failed. result is:" .
Data::Dump::dump($results));
return;
}
Edit these to:
Code:
# if (!$request) {
$log->warn("request failed. result is:" .
Data::Dump::dump($results));
# return;
# }
Restat the server and then try again to play a bookmark. In the logfile
you should then see message similar to these:

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New plugin for audio bookmarks
Sorry for the awfully late answer - I do get notifications for Updates
in this thread but i seem to have overlooked them. And i have been
really busy the last couple of months, so i didn't look at the forum.
I had a look through the logfile you uploaded a couple of message
before. At first glance i think the problem is here:
Code:
[19-07-02 08:59:20.6202] Plugins::BookmarkHistory::Plugin::playlistCallback
(1356) no url for row:{}
Since you just tried it again: Do you still had set the Loglevel to
"Debug". If yes, could you please upload the server log again?
I am a bit puzzled. The Warning message above says that the plugin is
unable to retrieve the current playlist of the client. This is a basic
LMS command, i am sure it works in all server versions. I'll see what i
can do

The longest track i have in my library is somewhat smaller (0,5GB with app. 7h playtime) and the bookmarking works fine with that. I don't see any reason why the plugin should not be able to handle longer files. Please try to jump in the track a few times using the web interface or one of the iOS/Android apps (i.e from the beginning to near the end or somewhere in between) with just a few seconds delay between each jump. Does your client execute the jumps? If you here stuttering or the client does jump to the wring position or not at all then the plugin can't work (because it does the same - it sends a command to the server to change the played position to the one it has stored in it's settings. sternenjaeger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57562 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102859 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

If you are using the bookmark menu in the LMS web interface and you do not refresh the page in your browser then this is true. It is a side effect of the reordering of the menu. The last played album is sorted at the top of the list. To keep the menu as consistent as possible i do the reordering only if no player is playing a bookmarked track. But if you are using the web interface and you do not refresh the page, the list you see in your browser will have the wrong order. I am pretty sure the same could be said about any menu item in the web interface. If the item list changes for whatever reason (Rescan etc.) and you do not refresh the page then clicking on an entry will do something different. Please note that you don't need the bookmark menu for that - if the player still has it's playlist then you can just press "Play" - the player will jump to the bookmarked position. I use this all the time, with iPeng on an old iPad as a bathroom player: This player has a 400 Tracks long Playlist, each track is an episode of a swiss radio show. I just use the pause and play buttons. The mechanism i use is quite simple: The menu is just a list of the bookmarked albums - Clicking on an entry simply starts the playback of the album.It makes no difference if you start the album from the bookmarks menu or from "My music". The plugin itself constantly monitors all active players. If a player starts the playback of a bookmarked song it looks through the playlist of the player and moves the playback to the track of the bookmark (if it is in the current playlist - otherwise it does nothing). After the player starts playing the bookmarked track it moves the play position to the bookmarked position in the track. As a side note: Powering a Radio or Boom on and off isn't really useful. AFAIK the power button of the web interface does not much more then to turn the display on and off. sternenjaeger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57562 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102859 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I am no expert, but i guess yes. Especially with unstable wifi conditions. If you are experiencing issues with the synced players when you quickly change tracks und the position in the track (i.e. from the start to near of the end of a longer track) then trying to play bookmarked albums will inevitably havve issues (because the plugin does the same to get to the bookmarked position in an album). sternenjaeger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57562 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102859 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I think i also tested it with "Resume at power on" but i am not sure.

That rings a bell. I had the same problem with a radio which insisted on connecting to the wrong access point (I need several access points in my home due to the construction of the building). With a poor wifi reception this radio had all kinds of weird behavior. So perhaps this would be a good and not to time consuming next test: Start the playback on the radio. Then, while it is playing, try to remote control it via browser or an Android/ iPhone / Windows app. Repeatedly change tracks and the position in track. The radio should follow this commands immediately. If it doesn't, then this is a network / wifi isssue. Or try to connect the radio via ethernet to you're network. The plugin does nothing different. It registers itself to events like "newsong" which is triggered when the playback of a new track starts and then issues CLI commands like "time" which changes the play position in the currently played track. So it should be completely player independant. sternenjaeger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57562 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102859 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Please have a look at the settings menu of the plugin. Is the "Threshold" small enough - the tracks of the audio books need to have twice the length of the "Threshold" setting, otherwise no bookmark will be set. You can also use "0" as value for "Threshold". Do the audio books have a matching value in their GENRE Tag? Bookmarks are only created if the album genre of the currently played album is one of the values defined in the settings.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Qobuz.com streaming plugin
@Michael: I played around a bit with the code of the Qobuz plugin to see
if it is possible to allow repositioning the currently played track.
But i don't know how the protocol handlers of the squeezeserver really
work, so this could be complete nonsense. Anyway:
I found out that seeking the stream is - at least on my system -
possible with changing the code in ProtocolHandler.pm to
Code:
sub canSeek { 1 }
sub getSeekDataByPosition { undef }
sub getSeekData {
my ( $class, $client, $song, $newtime ) = @_;
return {
sourceStreamOffset => ( 320_000 / 8 ) * $newtime,
timeOffset => $newtime,
};
}
(Obviously the fixed value for the bitrate is wrong - but i could not
figure out how to get the bitrate - at least "$song->bitrate()" seems to
return nothing.
If this a valid approach and does not contradict Qobuz terms of service,
it would be really kind of you if you could implement this properly in
the plugin code.
Otherwise please just ignore this post.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New plugin for audio bookmarks
I uploaded version 1.2.16. This version should hopefully prevent any further quarrels between kids listening to the same audio drama at the same time :-) There is a new option in the settings: "Players which keep their own bookmarks" If you enter one or more players (separated by comma) in this option then these players will keep their own bookmarks. So these players can keep and track separate bookmarks for the same album. Please note: 1) All existing bookmarks will no longer be visible for these clients 2) All other clients will see the same bookmarks as before 3) If you later remove a client from this list, the specific bookmarks for this player will be deleted and the player will see the common bookmarks for all players I had to change the data structure for the bookmarks to implement this feature. I tested the conversion on three separate servers and it worked all the time. If you want to be really safe, you could take a backup of the preferences file (bookmarkHistory.prefs) before restarting the server after the update. sternenjaeger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57562 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102859 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New plugin for audio bookmarks
To deal with the issues with the "skip back" button and the various playlist modes Pippin mentioned, i implemented an additional trigger mechanism. This should enable the plugin to reliably differentiate between "newsong" events of a user moving in the current playlist and those issued by the plugin itself by jumping to the bookmarked track. As a side effect it is now also possible to set the "Threshold" setting to zero if you like. So: When you move in the current playlist (e. g. by pressing "skip back", clicking on the current track, selecting another track etc.) and - you have a threshold value > 0 then the bookmark will be updated after the new track is played for this number of seconds - you have a threshold value of 0 then the bookmark will be updated immediately. Changelist for version 1.2.12: - "skip back" button no longer jumps back to the bookmarked positions - Clicking on the currently played track in the playlist now restarts the track from the beginning - "Repeat track" mode now works - Fixed bookmarks for playlists now work with all "Power On Resume" modes of the client - If a repeat mode is activated for a client, the bookmark will not be deleted when the playback reaches the end of the last track of an album or playlist - If you like you can now set "Threshold" and/or "Jump back" settings to "0" Sorry that this took a while - lack of time.

I wanted to always jump to the bookmarked position if "newsong" hits the bookmarked track of an album/playlist. But i do see your point - If the user "moves" in a playlist (with buttons or by selecting a specific track in the current playlist) then tracks should be started at their beginning. Well, my background is more in backend development, so usually i don't have to care a lot about user experience :) Will take a couple of days - please skip the next lines if you're not interested in the details: My plugin subscribes to "playlist loadtracks/loadalbum/addtracks" events and - if it finds a matching bookmark - issues a "playlist index" command to move to the correct track. This then triggers "newsong" which i use to move to the bookmarked position in track. If the user moves around in the playlist this also triggers newsong events, so i need to implement a trigger mechanism, to be able to distinguish between "newsong" events triggered by the user or by myself. Not a big deal but with all the possible combinations of local/remote/albums/playlists/playmodes/button actions/slider actions i want to be sure that i don't introduce new side effects. sternenjaeger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57562 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102859 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

In the repeat=1 mode the newsong event is triggered when the track repeats. This causes a jump to the last bookmarked position (track duration minus treshold setting value). Will be fixed with the next update.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New plugin for audio bookmarks
Another update: I tried to improve the handling of bookmarks for playlists. Starting from version 1.2.10 these should now be as reliable as bookmarks for albums. Previously i referenced playlists by their id, which often caused their deletion after a rescan. The plugin now uses the name of the playlist (aka the filename of the m3u file) to reference the bookmark. It also notices when you change the name of a playlist and updates the bookmark accordingly. Please note that the version i uploaded a couple of days ago had a bug, which caused playlist bookmarks to disappear after a server restart. I did not notice that on my development system, because this only occurred when the "fulltext-search" plugin is installed. After getting help from Michael (@Michael: If you are following this thread - thanks again for putting me on the right track!) i was able to fix this. Sorry for two updates in a short interval, but i wanted this bug to be removed before it starts to confuse anyone. sternenjaeger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57562 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102859 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Here is a description of the currently available commands. Please let me

there are some "quirks" in the code (e. g. that i prefixed some return
values with an underscore or the awkward way the bookmark listing uses
to distinguish between bookmarks of albums and playlists).
I'd be happy to implement any changes you want (Disclaimer: If my
limited knowledge of perl allows it...)
Most commands use two parameters: -idtype- and -id-
-idtype- must be either "albumid", "playlistid" or "current"
albumid-id- must contain an album-id
playlistid-id- must contain a playlist-id
current-id- is not used. The command referres to the
currently played track

_isprebookmark 1 if the bookmark is "prebookmarked", 0
otherwise
_isfrozen 1 if the bookmark is frozen, 0

tags: Defines the properties that are listed for each bookmark (like the
same parameter in songinfo)
Default is 'uelac'
The following tags may be used:
u = URL
e = Album-ID
l = Album title
a = Artist title
c = Cover-ID
extags: Defines additional properties of bookmarks that are listed
Default is 'pT'
The following tags may be used:
p: Prebookmarked
t: Timestamp of bookmark
T: Date of bookmark
Result:
countTotal number of bookmarks
Bookmarks are listed as a loop, sorted by the value defined in the
settings, starting with the entry number given in _index and listing
_quantity number of entries
Each result consists (depending on the values of tags and extags) of:
artistContains artist if the bookmark is a bookmarked
local album, empty otherwise
timestampdateDate of bookmark as returned by
Slim::Utils::DateTime::shortDateF
timestampTimestamp of bookmark
album_idReturns the album-id if the bookmark references
an album

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New plugin for audio bookmarks
I uploaded Version 1.2.4 with a few bugfixes/ code cleanups and an additional context menu to update a "frozen" bookmark. The following is only useful for or people who like to listen to audio books or radio plays before falling asleep and who use a Radio or Boom as a bedside radio: If you like you can setup useful macro functions for the preset buttons 1 to 6 of these devices. You will need the "KidsPlay" plugin for that, but unfortunately the repository for KidsPlay is gone. If you don't have it installed already, you would need to install it manually. I have attached a copy of the most recent version to this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?106182-Assign-either-a-script-or-a-menu-item-to-a-squeezebox-boom-preset-button=kidsplay It still works fine with the 7.9 server. If you have never used it: After installing it (by extracting it to the plugin folder of the server) you will find a new menu in the player settings for Radio and Booom devices. There you can assign CLI macros to the preset buttons of these players. Here is a short howto: 1) Create a playlist with audio books or plays - it does not really matter how many tracks are in there or how long the tracks are, but keep it smaller than the limit defined in the server settings (AFAIK thats 500 tracks by default) 2) Create a macro to play this playlist. Here i also added a sleep timer (with "sleep 3600"), so playback will automatically stop after one hour. The following code uses "MyPlaylist" for the name of the playlist. Cange this to the name of your playlist. Note: You need to replace any space character in the name of your playlist with "%20" Code: power 1; stop; playlist clear; sleep 3600; playlistcontrol cmd:load playlist_name:MyPlaylist play_index:0 So with a single push of a button the Radio or Boom will play your playlist for one hour (or whatever time you defined in the macro). 3) Define a macro for another button which will freeze the bookmark for the playlist. It will also create a bookmark if there isn't already one and update an existing bookmark, even it is frozen: Code: show "line1:Freeze!" duration:2 centered:1; bookmarkhistory addcurrentplaying bookmarkhistory updatefrozen; bookmarkhistory freeze current; If you push this button the bookmark is frozen at the current position. In the next evening just fast foward to the position where you fell asleep in the night before and push this button again (to update the frozen bookmark). 4) If you like, you can also add a macro to another button to unfreeze the currently played bookmark: Code: show "line1:Unfreeze!" duration:2 centered:1; bookmarkhistory unfreeze current; I defined the macros for the preset buttons 4-6 of my bedside radio: 4: Freeze Bookmark 5: Unfreeze Bookmark 6: Play playlist "Bedroom" This allows me to operate the radio at bedtime without even having to look at the display, which i find rather convinient. Since there will only be a few people using this i didn't test it extensively - at least it works in my setup. If you want to give it a try please check that you are using version 1.2.4 of the plugin and let me know if if you find any bug. sternenjaeger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57562 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102859 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

But this must have been like this for a year or so (i didn't notice it because i fixed it on my installation, but unfortunately forgot to upload the new version. Despite of that version 1.2.2 is exactly the same as 1.2.1 - the possibility to add a bookmark for the current playlist had already been in 1.2.1. I mainly use iPeng but i just had a look with Squeezecontrol and Orange Squeeze and for me the "Now Playing" context menu entry works fine at least with Qobuz and the Podcasts plugin. In theory it should be independant of the remote service anyway. The plugin hooks into two context menus: a) The album info menu when you select the context menu for a local album in "My music". Depending whether the album already is bookmarked or not you can either "prebookmark" the album or remove an existing bookmark b) The context menu for the "Now Playing" screen.This should also work with remote services. So play an album from Deezer or Spotify, go to the "Now playing" list of the currently played tracks and press the icon for the context menu. You should find the menu entry "Add bookmark for current Playlist" This stores the current playlist in "Playlists" and adds a bookmark for the playlist. In the options you can choose to switch to the newly created playlist automatically. With remote services this can cause an interruption due to rebuffering. Note that this only works if the remote service allows repositioning while playing (which Qobuz, the one i am using, unfortunately does not). But AFAIK this works with Spotify. You're right that this context menu entry does not appear in the web interface. I never noticed that.

No, but since i do not need the lyrics i simply copy the content COMMENT Tag to the UNSYNCEDLYRICS tag with an action in MP3Tag. This is done in the same action group which moves the files to the file system of the server, so it is no additional work. Only disadvantage: In the Web-Interface the text ist displayed twice - but i would recomend to keep the text in both tags anyway because COMMENT is recognized by the wonderful full text search of 7.9. I think this is not 100% following standards, AFAIK the unsynched lyrics tag should be written in the form Language|Text, but iPeng displays it anyways. The advantage is that you just need to copy and paste the text you wand in there, you can read and scroll through it in iPeng really fast (even with 100s of lines) and it is simpler than the context menu. sternenjaeger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57562 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New plugin for audio bookmarks
I uploaded version 1.2.1 of the plugin to the repo. This version contains some bugfixes and a couple of new features: 1) BOOKMARKS FOR PLAYLISTS[/B] BOOKMARKS ARE NOW ALSO APPLIED TO PLAYLISTS. THIS MEANS THAT IF YOU PLAY A PLAYLIST, THE PLUGIN MONITORS THE CURRENTLY PLAYED TRACK AND WAITS FOR A TRACK THAT HAS A GENRE MATCHING THE ONES DEFINED IN THE GENRE FILTER. IT THEN ADDS A BOOKMARK FOR THE PLAYLIST AND NOT FOR THE ALBUM. THESE \"PLAYLIST BOOKMARKS\" ARE ALWAYS NAMED WITH THE NAME OF THE PLAYLIST. IN THE BOOKMARKS LIST I ALWAYS PREPEND THEM WITH THE WORD \"PLAYLIST\" (TO MAKE THEM EASILY DISTINGUISHABLE FROM ALBUM BOOKMARKS). BOOKMARKS OF PLAYLISTS AND ALBUMS ARE COMPLETELY INDEPENDANT OF EACH OTHER. IF YOU PLAY AN ALBUM IT'S BOOKMARK WILL BE UPDATED. IF YOU PLAY A PLAYLIST, THE BOOKMARK OF THE PLAYLIST WILL BE UPDATED. [B]2) \"FREEZE\" A BOOKMARK I added a feature to "freeze" a bookmark with the "Now playing" context menu. If you mark a bookmark as "frozen" it is no longer updated when you play the album. It is also not deleted when the last track of an album is played. Useful if you like to listen to audio books before falling asleep. You can both "freeze" und "unfreeze" a bookmark from the context menu. 3) SUBMENU TO MAINTAIN THE BOOKMARK I added the option to show an additional menu after selecting a bookmark (Setting: "Show additional menu before playing a bookmark"). If you check this option clicking on a bookmark does no longer immediately start playing the album. Instead you will get a menu with the following options: - Play - Freeze/Unfreeze bookmark - Start album from beginning - Remove bookmark - 4) BOOKMARKS FOR REMOTE TRACKS. The plugin can now also set bookmarks for remote tracks. Please note that these bookmarks are managed differently from the ones for local albums. They are not set automatically, so the genre filter does not apply to them. If you want to bookmark a remote track, album or playlist then click in the "Now Playing" context menu on "Add bookmark for current Playlist" The plugin then saves the current playlist. By default settings it will load and start this playlist immediatly - unfortunately this will cause a few seconds for rebuffering. Reloading the playlist is necessary (otherwise i would not be able to track the progress of the playlist). If you prefer to set the bookmark immediatly before you want to stop listening you can uncheck the box "Continue playing after adding a bookmark" in the settings. The plugin will then empty the current playlist after it saved the bookmark. The bookmarks for remote tracks are always named like the album that is currently played. The associated saved playlist is removed automatically when the bookmark is removed. Please note that these bookmarks are only tracked if you start the playback from the bookmark menu. And of course jumping to the correct position in the track requires the stream to be seekable. On my system the plugin works for Spotify und the - thanks to philippe_44 - recently revived youtube plugin, but not for Qobuz. These new feature required some substantial changes in the code. I have tested these quite a lot, but i am sure there are still some bugs left.

I also use them both constantly together. I am pretty sure that the plugin only jumps when you play an album that has a bookmark. So it could (see below) also be related to your Threshold=0 setting (because this sets the bookmark immediatly after you start playing an album). Please first set Threshold=15 and Precision=2 If you then think that there is no bookmark for an album but you still see the jump, please do the following: 1) Make a mental note of the album 2) Pause the album *immediatly * (i. e. in the first 15 seconds) after it starts playing 3) Look through the bookmark list in the plugins menu If you can't find a bookmark for this album there, then this is a real bug. Please post again and i will tell you what to do next (I would need some debugging info). mikk64 wrote: I left this one to zero...maybe is it better to change it? Thanks, that did put me on the right track. I can reproduce this error when i set the Threshold value to zero. The threshold value should have at least twice the value of Precision. I would recommend something like 2 for precision and at least 15 for threshold. If you don't want to listen for this 15s until a bookmark is created, you can also use the Prebook feature of the plugin (i now updated the text in the first post of this thread to reflect the new features. See there to see how to prebook a bookmark). I will provide an autocorrection for these values in the next version (And correct the stupid spelling error of threshold ;)). Also i do think now that an additional Listen later function is a good idea, especially if i manage to implement bookmarks for remote albums. Since this won't be to complicated i will implement this feature already in the next version.

If there is a bookmark for an album, that is the expected behaviour. The plugin works like a bookmark in a real book (these things made from paper). It jumps to the track and position in track where you last stopped listening. I wrote this plugin for audio books and radio dramas (because these are sometimes are _very_ long and contain dozens of tracks, which makes it difficult to remember the track and position in track where you last stopped listening). Is there really no existing plugin that would be better suited for this Listen Later function you want? If so, i could perhaps add an option that suppresses the jump to the bookmarked position. Then this plugin then could also used to Listen later. Would take a wile, though. At the moment i am trying to implement a feature that makes it possible to bookmark remote tracks and this will need some more time until it is ready for release. mikk64 wrote: second, at the end of the last track it doesn't delete the album from the bookmarks list...maybe it used to do it at the beginning (i don't remeber well..), but i managed around something and so now it doesn't work anymore...

In previous versions there was a bug that prevented the bookmark from being updated, when you just paused the album for a while and didn't play something else in between. Could also happen if you set the threshhold value to large. The bookmark is removed if you're this number of seconds away from the end of the last track of an album. mikk64 wrote: third, when i have activated smart mix option don't stop the music, the new songs added by that, are added to the bookmark playlist to, i mean all the album...one playde and the album stay in the list after that played...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New plugin for audio bookmarks
I just uploaded version 1.1.12 of the plugin which fixes an issue that sometimes an existing bookmark was not updated correctly: If you played an album, then paused the album and later pressed Play again (and no other player was doing anything), it could happen that the bookmark got stuck at the position where you paused the album. The reason is that the subroutine which activates the tracker only subscribed to the newsong event. I now also subscribe to playlist pause to handle the situation described above. @Pippin: The plugin also now has some CLI commands.

@flo72: Thanks - that is exactly the scenario i wrote this plugin for. Only in my case i am the kid :-) @ChrisNY: Thanks! No, leaving the genre filter empty should not affect the server performance. What could have an effect is the maximum number and the precision of the bookmarks. You can set both values in the settings of the plugin. So if you see an impact on you're servers performance, just reduce the value for Number of albums to remember. The plugin then will automatically drop bookmarks if this threshhold is reached (oldest bookmarks first). On my system (a rather smallish virtual server with 1 cpu core and 1GB memory) i normally have ~100 bookmarks with a 2 seconds precision and i can't notice any additional load at all. sternenjaeger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57562 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102859 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Qobuz.com streaming plugin
I have two suggestions for very small code changes. Please feel free to
ignore this post if you think these are not useful for others.
1) Currently the favorites are sorted by first name, last name. I
noticed that the IOS Qobuz app sorts by last name, first name (but still
displays first name, last name), which IMHO is better.
I would suggest to remove the sort command when listing the favorites
(Pugin.pm, row 523). The favorites are then listed in the same order as
in the Qobuz app.
2) I think an option to suppress samples completely in search results
would be useful. Either as a new option or always when Play samples is
not set.
Example: If you search for Keith Jarrett you mainly get results which
are not playable.
The reason for that is that Qobuz misses the ECM catalogue, which is the
label where most of his records are published. Same is true for audio
books / audio dramas (search for Hörspiel) which makes finding the
available ones difficult.
I patched line 730 ff. in Plugin.pm to
Code:
if ( $album-{released_at} time || (!$album-{streamable}
!$prefs-get('playSamples')) ) {
return;
}
and i think the results are more useful.
As always - thanks for you continuous support!

Thanks for the improved icon. I've no idea whether these are cached by the server or the clients, but it should turn up eventually. As for a Remove bookmark feature: I have not yet been able to implement a context menu for the One click to play type of menu entries i am using. But i added it to the Now playing context menu. I just uploaded an update to the repository which includes this context menu and some other new features: 1) New context menus entries for Now Playing, Album Info and Track Info. If the displayed album has a bookmark i add two context menu entries: - Remove bookmark: Removes the bookmark. If the album is in the current playlist of the player, it is removed from there (to prevent that it is immediately created again if still playing the album) - Start album from beginning: Resets the bookmark to the start of the first track of the album and replaces the current playlist with the album 2) I now reorder the menu (most recently listened at the top) only when no client is playing. 3) One new feature which i find useful: I added a Prebook feature. If an album has no bookmark i add the entry Add bookmark to listen later to the context menus Now Playing, Album/Track info. This creates a bookmark for the beginning of the first track of the album. These prebooked bookmarks are listed at the bottom of the bookmark list (if you use the default sorting). Once you listen to the album the prebooked bookmark becomes a real one and it is listed at the top. The idea is that if you really would like to listen to the critically acclaimed three hour long feature about the sound of the night breeze in the sahara desert, but at this moment you're more in the mood for a crime story, you can prebook the bookmark to remind you that you should listen to this sometime later. Of course you can also remove such preboooked bookmarks with the context menu... @Pippin: I now started to implement some CLI commands.

Philip Meyer wrote: 1. This bookmarks per-album, using the album id? Yes, i am using the album-id as key for the bookmark entries. The plugin does not require any tags, but it needs the album-id. Using alternatively the track url (if the played track has no album id) would be possible, but requires some code changes. At least it would require a filter for discs paths (which another user has mentioned above) or otherwise it would then also start to bookmark everything (because the genre filter would not be possible if the track is not stored in the database). I think about it, but please don't hold your breath. Philip Meyer wrote: 2. Does it automatically start replay from the bookmarked point when playing anything that has a bookmark on the album, or only if selecting from the bookmarks list? Yes. If you start an album from My Music it will look through the Now Playing playlist and jump to the bookmarked track if it finds it in the playlist. When the player starts to play this track it will move the play position to the bookmarked position. Reason for that is that the bookmark otherwise would depending on the implementation either a) be reset to the beginning of the album or b) be stuck at the position it has in the bookmarks menu. Neither of that seemed to make sense, so i implemented it in a way that it does not care whether you start an album from it's menu or My Music. sternenjaeger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57562 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102859 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New plugin for audio bookmarks
Following the suggestion from mherger i have setup a repository for the Bookmark History plugin. The URL of the repository is Code: http://bookmarkhistory.googlecode.com/svn/repo.xml It still only works will local albums and it is only useful for albums which are audio books or radio dramas - it releases you from the effort of scrolling through an 2 hours long track to find the position where you last stopped listening. I tried to improve it a bit: - Rewind button now works for bookmarked tracks of an album. - I am using the file url now to keep track of the bookmarks, so they are no longer affected by rescans or changes in tags (this also means that the albums no longer need to have correct tag numbers. In this case the bookmark follows the given sort order of the squeezeserver). - The plugin subscribes now to the playlist addtrack/loadtracks events. If you play an album which has a bookmark from My music it will look through the playlist and (hopefully ;) ) jump to the bookmarked track and position in track. In other words: The bookmark positioning works not only from the menu of the plugin but also from the regular squeezeserver menus. I am using it now for a couple of days and it's pretty useful for me Please let me know if you find errors or you have suggestions for new features. sternenjaeger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57562 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102859 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New plugin for audio bookmarks
Yep. Me, for example! A big thumbs up to you, sternenjaeger! Thank you! Getting feedback from two of the senior developers in the squeezebox environment is something i hadn't expected. One thing I wonder about Did you register CLI commands for the plugin? Would there be a way to determine whether there's a bookmark for a certain album? I think I might like to try to play from a bookmark instead of from the first track whenever you play a whole album in iPeng and a bookmark is present. No, this plugin is just a basic utility: It stores the bookmark information (tracknumber and position in track) in a hash array in it's preferences file. The way it works is quite simpel: - The plugin menu lists the stored bookmarks. If the user clicks on a bookmark it issues a playlistcontrol cmd:load command, which starts the album at the tracknumber stored in the bookmark - It subscribes to the newsong event that checks the album and tracknumber of the new song and - if there is a bookmark - it issues the time command to jump to the correct position (also stored in the bookmark hash entry). - The newsong event also independently sets up a timer for a routine which queries the songinfo for all active players and creates or updates the bookmarks. This routine repeats the timer until no player is in status playing anymore I'll try to continue working on it. But this is actually just my second plugin (and the first was an even far more simpel thing), so i don't think i am the right man for the job. But we'll see... Also, it could be useful to register an entry for an album context menu which does exactly that. Good idea, i give it a shot. Although: I find that getting into writing code for the squeezeserver environment is not easy, even if you're used to write code. I had trouble to find documentation and, coming more from the Python/Java side, writing code in Perl for me feels like having to wrestle with an alien beast. Once again: Thanks to you and mherger for this friendly feedback. I am using the squeezebox server for a couple of years now but just recently got the idea to write code for it. Perhaps i should have started much earlier - the open architecture of this server is like an invitation to play around with it.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] New plugin for audio bookmarks
There is already a plugin for Bookmarks from KDF (http://code.google.com/p/kdfplugins/downloads/list) , but this is unmaintained now for a couple of years and doesn't work on newer players (i. e. Radio or Touch). I always wanted a feature like this because i listen a lot to radio dramas / audio books and it's always a pain to find the position where you stopped listening days ago. So finally i decided to write a new plugin for a bookmarking feature. Since there had been a couple of posts in this forum where users asked for audio bookmarks, i post it here - perhaps it can be useful for others too. The code is based on the What was that tune? plugin from mherger (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?100756-Announce-What-Was-That-Tune-pluginhighlight=what+was+that+tune) - thanks for that really handy tool and all the other work you do for the squeezebox system. There are some distinct differences: - BookmarkHistory only works with local music, not with internet streams (this is by design, as i use the album-id to identify the currently played album) - It keeps track of the tracknumber and the position in a track of an album you listen to (independent of the player you use) - Albums are automatically removed from the bookmark list when you reach the end of the last track (remember: this is for setting bookmarks, not for storing favourites) It works automatically: - In the settings of the plugin you select the genres for which bookmarks should be used. - If you play an album with a matching genre the plugin will keep track of the tracknumber and the position in the track while the album is played. - The bookmarked albums are listed in the plugin menu (most recent at the top). Klicking on an album will load the album and start it at the bookmarked position. Installation: - Unzip the attached file in your Plugins folder. - Activate the plugin in Settings - Plugins. - Check the plugin configuration: The settings are self explanatory. You should at least define a value for the genre filter or the plugin will also be used for music albums (which presumably you don't want) . The filter is a list of comma separated keywords - only albums in which the genre contains one of the keywords are used for bookmarking. Some notes and caveats: - Albums *need to be tagged with tracknumbers starting from 1 ascending*, otherwise the plugin will jump to the wrong track. - Rewind and next buttons wont work for bookmarked albums (because these also trigger the newsong event which then jumps back to the bookmarked position). You can, however, use the scroll bar. - If a genre is dropped from the List of genres setting it may happen that bookmarks of albums with this genre are kept in the bookmark list, even if they are fully played. - If you start an album from the My Music menu and you select the track that the bookmark is set to, the player will jump to the bookmarked position (if you select another track the track will play from the start and the plugin updates the bookmark. - Because the plugin uses the album_id's to identify an album the bookmarks will be wiped when you perform a Full rescan of the database Please note that i am by no means an experienced squeezebox developer and i usually don't write code in Perl, so expect some bugs. Anyway, i have tested this with - recent 7.9 nightly build server - but it should also work with older versions - Radio, Receiver (and iPeng on an iPod touch) as clients - iPeng, Squeezepad as controller apps on iPod and iPad, Squeeze Control on Android and it works quite well for me. +---+ |Filename: BookmarkHistory.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=17119| +---+ sternenjaeger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57562 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102859 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

noticed that these are albums where some or all of the tracks are not
available for streaming. Qobuz then lets you listen to the first minute
and then skips to the next track.
Example is this album: http://player.qobuz.com/#!/album/0073145232592
Eight tracks but from 2,7 and 8 you only get the first minute.
I had a look at the qobuz API
(https://github.com/Qobuz/api-documentation/blob/master/endpoints/track/get.md)
and it looks to me as if they are having a flag there to indicate
whether the track is available for streaming:
Code:

track_number: 1,
media_number: 1,
duration: 189,

Would it be possible to filter search results to streamable==true?

This is a beautiful old DOS Program which i bought in the early nineties that displays a simulated aquarium. 4) I rooted the tablet and installed an SSH daemon. 5) I removed the case, ripped of a few unnecessary parts like touch screen layer, battery etc. and installed display and board in a picture frame. 5) I am not familiar with Android so i searched for Android commands to control applications (/system/bin/am) and to control the standby mode remotely (/system/bin/input keyevent). Then i wrote a bash script which controls the tablet by sending commands to the SSH shell on the tablet. It uses the Squeezeserver CLI (via the netcat command) to switch to Squeeze Display whenever a new album is played and goes back to El-Fish after a time. It also puts the tablet after some time into sleep mode when no album is played because this saves a couple of watts power consumption. Now i am listening to one of my favourite peaces of music, the Nocturnes by Frédéric Chopin, played by the wonderful Elisabeth Leonskaja. It's awesome - the quiet music, the virtual fish tank and the app from Erland that displays photographs of the pianist. Thank's a lot to Erland for this and all the other software you wrote for the Squeezebox environment. sternenjaeger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57562 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94124 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
