Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Help with Sox LMS 8.0.0
Hi! I have Synology DS213j (armada370) , running LMS 8.0.0 , and using SqueezeBox Classic player. I had the similar issue with sox since upgrade LMS from 7.7.6 to 8.0.0. High resolution files were not played. After checking this thread, I checked sox binary directly, if it's running manually from shell. So on my Synology I run: Code: cd /volume1/@appstore/SqueezeCenter/Bin/ ./sox --version Segmentation fault (core dumped) So sox didn't run at all. Then I just extracted sox binary from the 7.7.6 arm370 LMS package (LogitechMediaServer-armada370-8.0.0-1605892076.spk more exactly). It can be opened by 7-Zip, and sox will be found here in package: LogitechMediaServer-armada370-7.7.6-116.spk\package.tgz\package\Bin\sox I've copied this sox binary to Synology, then copied it to relevant path: Code: cd /volume1/@appstore/SqueezeCenter/Bin/ mv sox sox.bak cp /volume1/Transmission/Prog/sox . ll sox --version ./sox: SoX v14.3.2 This binary works on my Synology. Just after this change, now all high-res files are playing correctly on SB Classic! :) FYI, I didn't change anything else, i.e. I have Native setting here: Settings -> Advanced -> File Types -> FLAC/FLAC: Native If I change it to Disabled, my Squeezebox Classic claims unsupported file format. Another my observation, when I play 96 or 192 kHz files , I see sox is running this way: Code: root@diskstation:/volume1/@appstore/SqueezeCenter/Bin# ps -ef | grep sox admin32076 25849 0 00:30 ?00:00:00 sh -c "/volume1/@appstore/SqueezeCenter/Bin/flac" -dcs -- - | "/volume1/@appstore/SqueezeCenter/Bin/sox" -q -t wav - -t flac -C 0 -r 48000 - admin32078 32076 16 00:30 ?00:00:23 /volume1/@appstore/SqueezeCenter/Bin/sox -q -t wav - -t flac -C 0 -r 48000 - root 32128 22938 0 00:33 pts/100:00:00 grep --color=auto sox root@diskstation:/volume1/@appstore/SqueezeCenter/Bin# So it seems my files are converted to 48000 kHz. batka's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12908 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113932 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Also, at some point, the sox developers removed the short command line options, which LMS uses in the convert.conf rules. So if you're using an OS supplied version of sox it will likely fail on any LMS transcoding rule that requires sox. The 02-restore-short-options.patch file adds them back to sox binaries included with LMS.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Help with Sox LMS 8.0.0
With Tidal you may come across 8.0.0 shortcomings so perhaps it is time to start thinking about a Pi for LMS and files staying on Synology as it seems to be the well trodden path for Synology users. In the meantime, if you need sox - you could send a PM to Ralphy - he has built the 3rd party tools for various platforms. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113932 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

For Tidal, I think you should update to 8.1.* - when 8.0.0 was released, it was quickly updated as it had bugs. 8.1.* had even more fixes and bugs especially for Tidal Code: [21-02-13 17:44:22.4482] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::tokenizeConvertCo mmand2 (641) Using command for conversion: "/volume1/@appstore/SqueezeCenter/Bin/sox" -q -t flac - -t flac - [21-02-13 17:44:22.4487] Slim::Player::Song:: open (565) Tokenized command: "/volume1/@appstore/SqueezeCenter/Bin/sox" -q -t flac - -t flac - [21-02-13 17:44:22.4716] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_Stream (1282) 00:04:20:07:0b:98: stream [21-02-13 17:44:22.4745] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_Stream (1319) Song queue is now 2 [21-02-13 17:44:22.4752] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_setPlayingStat e (2377) new playing state BUFFERING [21-02-13 17:44:22.4757] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_setStreamingSt ate (2386) new streaming state STREAMING [21-02-13 17:44:22.5640] Slim::Player::Source::_readNextChunk (372) end of file or error on socket, song pos: 0 [21-02-13 17:44:22.5646] Slim::Player::Source::_readNextChunk (377) 00:04:20:07:0b:98 mark end of stream [21-02-13 17:44:22.5651] Slim::Player::Source::_readNextChunk (385) Didn't stream any bytes for this song; mark it as failed [21-02-13 17:44:22.5656] Slim::Player::StreamingController:: playerStreamingFailed (2248) 00:04:20:07:0b:98 [21-02-13 17:44:22.5667] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_playersMessage (796) Problem: Can't open file for:: wimp://96206243.flac The "end of file" error is typical of a problem in transcoding and since only sox in trasncoding - I think your version of sox doesn't run on your system Maybe missing libraries, maybe wrong architecture (e.g. armhf instead of armle).

I'd advise get a log of trying to play a Flac track with player.source set to INFO. This will show whether the custom convert is working correctly and if not how LMS is trying to invoke sox.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Help with Sox LMS 8.0.0
Until recently I have been running an old version of LMS (7.7 I think) on a Synology NAS, streaming lossless from Tidal and also from a local music folder. I had an issue with some Tidal hi res files causing stuttering which I was able to resolve thanks to someone on here suggesting switching to Sox transcoding via a custom-convert.conf. All was working fine until recently when Tidal stopped working, with a message saying Tidal authentication was no longer supported with versions of LMS below 8.0. I bit the bullet and upgraded the NAS to LMS 8.0.0 and that fixed the Tidal authentication problem. However, the stuttering issue has returned on some hi res Tidal files. Sure enough, the new installation of LMS had wiped out my custom-convert.conf file. So I recreated it, exactly as before: flc flc * * [sox] -q -t flac $FILE$ -t flac - But this time, no joy. As soon as I re-start LMS with the custom-convert.conf in place, streaming no longer works, either via Tidal or local music folder. I'm able to navigate to the selected song but as soon as I hit play nothing happens. If I do it via the ipeng interface I see a message 'File not available'. As soon as I remove the custom-convert.conf everything starts working again. I wondered if sox was not packaged with LMS 8.0.0 but I see there is a sox file in the Bin folder. I had a look at the server log and I can see some entries 'client_readable (413) Client not found for slimproto msg op' that seem to correspond with attempts to play songs, that stop appearing when I remove the custom-convert.conf. Any help or suggestions most appreciated. thanks Luke lucifer-chops's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70415 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113932 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
