Thanks, I found a workaround bij replacing the second wildcard in
...InstalledPlugins/Plugins/Spotty/custom-convert.conf with the MAC
address of the squeezelite. Now ogg streaming from spotty only is used
with the player it works on.
Not sure this will survive a spotty update.and like you said it has been
transcoding for the squeezelite for years until a few weeks ago.

I will see if I can find another app to stream to my iPad1 since
Squeezecast is a bit quirky. Unfortunately ipeng is no longer supported
on iPad1.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 4.4 - more personalised content

2021-04-21 Thread ustinov


I have an Odroid XU4 running DietPi with LMS 8.1.1 and a Squeezelite
player.
In my study I have an iPad1 on a B&W Zeppelin running Squeezecast.

The squeezelite player works fine with Spotty, but the squeezecast will
freeze (requiring iPad reboot) unless in File Types I set Spotty ogg to
disabled.
>From playing around with C-3PO I saw the squeezcast reports it supports
ogg, but apparently it does not (at least not in combination with
spotty).

Is there a way to disable ogg only for my squeezecast (e.g. by MAC), but
not for the squeezelite player?

/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/Spotty/custom-convert.conf
does not change when I change File Types in the server settings. (or are
settings stored elsewhere?)
/etc/squeezeboxserver/convert.conf does not contain the spotty
commands.

I thought maybe you recognized that track playback status uses RTC
timestamp or something. That might explain the behaviour I experienced.

I have no idea how the API works. It might be an idea for people
experiencing strange problems to check if the time was correct on all
devices involved.
Spotty behaviour is spottless here now. Thanks for keeping the plugin up
to date.

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

2018-12-28 Thread ustinov


Hi Michael

I had a problem with tracks not starting at the beginning on my setup
that appears to be related to the time on different devices in my
setup.
I have an ODROID XU4Q running Dietpi, LMS 7.9.1, Spotty 2.6.6 and
Squeezelite. When I start a track from the Spotify app in connect mode
on my iPad Air the track often starts up to 35 seconds into the track.
Also when I go to the next or previous track.
The number of seconds it skips is constant from track to track, but can
be different from day to day. The problem will be gone ( for a while)
when I reboot the ODROID. Restarting LMS does not help.

Tracks do start at the beginning when I use chromecast on my NVIDIA
Shield from Spotify app or when I play through spotty from the LMS web
interface. (Only ODROID device involved). 

The ODROID was set to emulate a hardware RTC and only sync time once a
day and at boot time. When I enabled the built in hardware RTC and
ntpdaemon drift compensation the problem disappeared!
Problems with the app sometimes showing different tracks than were
actually playing or spotty no longer responding to the app have also not
occured since then.

If I turn off ntp and set the ODROID time 30-60s in advance I get a
different behaviour: when I start a track the progress in the Spotify
iPad app stays at zero while the music is playing. When I pause and
restart a track the progress barr jumps around. I have not tested this
extensively.

Could differences in RTC time on different devices cause this type of
behaviour,( and possibly also problems other users are reporting)? I
understand the RPi does not have a hardware clock and relies on software
RTC emulation.

I use the build that came with Dietpi, but you may be on to something.
Yesterday I played a several albums to iPeng on my iPhone through Spotty
and they did not stop prematurely.
I will look at different builds for squeezelite, but that will be over
the weekend probably.

Thanks!

Thanks Michael.

Squeezelite is normally started using systemd with options -a
4096:1024:16:0 -n 'Squeezelite Woonkamer' -f /var/log/squeezelite.log
This is the dafult settings Dietpi installs it with , except for the -C
5, which I removed to keep the HDMI connection with my receiver alive.

If I remove the -a 4096:1024:16:0 and reboot, it consistently stops
after the one song. Below the log when I restarted a stopped track.
Again it stopped after one track, but no 'Has
spotify://track:xxx been played? yes', with Spotty debug on
info. 
I no longer get audio over HDMI. Is that the  :0 option?

Is there another option I should try?

Sorry Michael.
I thought I was being ignored, but I just did not recognise my own log
in your reply. :) 
No, I did not play that track before, but further research seems to
suggest it is indeed the problem with Spotty thinking the same track is
played twice. Apparently because it receives the current track as next
track.
Yesterday I updated to Spotty 2.5.1 (using helper spotty-hf 0.12.0
(auto)), but the problem of stopping albums or playlists remains.

I put a partial log on pastebin of playing the radiohead Kid A album, no
shuffle. Music stopped at the end of track 3, and the log seems to show
that the next track after track 3 was actually the same track. So Spotty
stopped. 

Since nobody else is complaining, and it happens to me all the time,
could there be something with my setup/account that is different or
should be reset?
I already did a clean re-install of the Spotify app on the iPad.
I do see I have 'optimize pre-buffering' on for this log but it happens
also when this is off (that was the reason I turned it on)
Should I further investigate with that option off, or can this not be
related?

Setup is still Spotify IOS app, connect from iPad air 1 on IOS12
Server and squeezelite player on Odroid XU4Q running DietPi 6.17.12.
This happens also when using Spotty to stream to iPeng on my iPhone, so
it appears not player related.

I will turn off optimize pre-buffering again and see what the log says
then.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 2.4.x - Spotify Connect for your Squeezebox

2018-10-07 Thread ustinov


Since a few weeks I have an Odroid XU4Q, but i keep gettign erractic
behavior with Spotty.
Playback stops in the middle of a playlist or album, often the first
seconds of a song are skipped when I start or skip manually to the next
track.
Changing the spotty helper or using th eoptimize buffer option did not
help.

Below the relevant part of the log (Spotty on info) where playback was
stopped just before the end of a track in the middle of an album. It
seems Spotty thinks this was the last track.
Any idea what is going on, Michael?

Thanks.  I will give my sons Pi2 a try.
In the meantime I have a workaround usng ALSA speaker-test to
continuously put out (mix?) 0 samples to keep the HDMI connection
alive.
Not sure that is the most elegant solution, but it will do for now.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 2.3.0 - Spotify Connect for your Squeezebox

2018-08-21 Thread ustinov


I just made a new setup with a Raspberry Pi 1 model B, running DietPi
6.13, LMS 7.9.1, SqueezeLite  and Spotty 2.4.2 (Automatically selected
Spotty-hf 0.12.0).
Sound is connected over HDMI from the RPI to my Onkyo TX-SR606
receiver.
Just playing a whole playlist/album goes fine (Excellent work Michael,
Thanks!)

I usually initiate Spotify connect to the Pi  from my iPad Spotify app.
When I pause a track or skip a track, my Onkyo looses the HDMI
connection and switches to analog in (I cannot turn that off uit seems),
and when the track resumes or the next track plays it takes a second or
two for the Onkyo to switch to HDMI again. Causing me to loose the first
seconds of audio.
This happens when I skip/pause the spotify track from the iPad spotify
app or from the web interface.

This does NOT happen when I skip or pause a track from my _local_
library.

I know Kodi has/had an option to keep sending zero's over HDMI when
sound was off, but I cannot find that option in the OS itself.

Anything I can do about this behavior (except using analog out on the
Pi)?

I have it in settings in the LMS webinterface-Settings-Advanced-Spotty
Spotify for squeezebox. Below the instructions to authorize with the
app. You may need to press the add account button if you already entered
credentials before.
Probably better to delete old credentials before adding them again.

Not that I'm aware of. Recent searches, yes, but not recent plays.

tracksSincePurge I mean.But I was (wrongly?) guessing what is was for:p. I
just noted Notepad++ kept asking me if I would like to update
Spotty.prefs. 
I could not figure out where it does read disableDiscovery from the prefs
file. I have no experience with Python, so it was just a lucky guess that
fixed it for me. :)

Does connect work if you untick the option (and press apply)?

Johan/ButC Do you also have to uncheck 'don't discover' after a reboot
or server restart? It looks that way in the log.

Michael, could it be there is bug in Spotty that (at least for windows)
overwrites the 'Don't discover' option?
I changed plugin.pm, $pref->init  from 

Code:

disableDiscovery => main::ISWINDOWS ? 1 : 0,

  
to

Code:

disableDiscovery => 0,  

  

Now the options does not change after a restart/reboot. I checked with
the option on and off.
If it was set automatically because of 3 spotty.exe crashes, would that
not leave an error message in the log?
I see the prefs file is also used to store data on tracks played. Could
it be the file is written (with init values) before it is read after a
server restart?

Running LMS 7.9.1 on Windows 7, with Spotty 2.1.11

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 2.0.0 - Spotify Connect for your Squeezebox

2018-03-03 Thread ustinov

Just a heads up. Connect from my ipad broke after the spotify app
updated yesterday, but todays Spotty update 2.1.10 seems to fix it
again. 
Other family member accounts can now also connect (after only one member
authorised)!
Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.1 - 1519287262 @ Thu Feb 22 09:30:01
WEST 2018, Spotty 0.9.9, Windows 7. 

I did get LMS forgetting authorisation after restart (once) and then
spotty.exe crashing when I played a track anyway (connect device still
showed up on the iPad). I cannot reproduce. Possibly related to
restarting server while playing music over Spotty-connect.

Thanks for fixing this Michael.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty 2.0.0 - Spotify Connect for your Squeezebox

2018-02-25 Thread ustinov

I am running Spotty 2.1.9 with LMS 7.9.1 on Windows 7.
The connect functionality works rather well. It is just that whenever I
reboot the computer, or even stop and start LMS, the " Don't announce"
option is ticked again, and my Squeezebox does not show up in Spotify.
Apparently the option is not stored in the plug-in settings. 
Is this by design? 

I deleted all preference files and setup LMS again, but the problem
persists. Strange enough I still can connect with Spotify accounts that
do not show up in the Spotty settings. So something of the plugin/Spotty
preferences were left behind it seems.

Hi pippin

When I start (or switch to) another app iPeng automatically moves to the
background on iOS. You would have to call up the switcher and actively
quit (swipe up) iPeng every time you changed someting to your music to
NOT have it in the background. 
iPeng is not in the list of background app refresh apps, so that is also
not a way to influence this behaviour.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread

2018-01-28 Thread ustinov

I just bought iPeng and am loving it, although there are some things I
still need getting used to.

I found when I run iPeng in the background on my iPad the volume buttons
affect the volume of my squeezebox and not just the volume of my iPad. I
now have to quit iPeng to be able to change my iPad volume. Would it be
possible to make it a configurable option to control squeezebox volume
using the hardware buttons. (Or disable them when iPeng is not the
foregroynd app?)
