Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer Won't Play BBC Listen Again on QNAP
The mixed endian issue will only come up when handling packing/unpacking 64bit words so seg faulting wouldn't happen but the decoded audio stream would be garbled occassionally. I don't think the issue will occur with a fixed point version as 64bit is mainly used with floating pt operations but it is worthwhile testing. faad is only used to decode AAC and AAC+ formats so a test would be to play http://www.somafm.com/illstreet48.pls on an SB3 or Boom. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70812 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer Won't Play BBC Listen Again on QNAP
It's good to see lots of people are now successfully running iplayer on their QNAPs thanks to the contributions in this thread. Having done a clean install of SSOTS and Squeezebox Server, and applying the iplayer filechange provided in this thread, I am also able to start both live and listen-again streams on my QNAP. Unfortunately I am having problems with very frequent rebuffering (several times a minute, i.e. not useable) with pretty much every program (both live and listen-again). I am not in the UK. The QNAP is connected to the squeezebox duet receiver via cable so I don't think its a local network problem. As a comparison, if I run Squeezebox Server on my laptop (via a 802.11n wireless router) instead of on the QNAP then there are no problems - so the problem seems to be specific to the QNAP setup. Have other QNAP users had similar problems (and how did you solve them)? If other non-UK QNAP users are using iplayer without rebuffering problems, did you change anything from the standard setup to achieve this? Are there any settings which I can change to help this?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer Won't Play BBC Listen Again on QNAP
It's possible the UK users of QNAP have disabled AAC and so QNAP does no transcoding (i.e. no processor load) whereas your QNAP must transcode the AAC stream and this would have a significant processor load. Have you disabled AAC-MP3 and AAC-Flac. This will ease processor load but increase network load. This transcoding problem may go away next year (or possibly sooner) when BBC start providing Listen Again in WMA (replacing RealAudio) as well as AAC for non UK listeners. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70812 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

The log looks fine - no crazy floating point numbers anywhere. QNAP have advised on their forum that they will now get SSOTS modified, so again many thanks to you and Triode for your most helpful and expert engagement. Pending QNAP's fix, is there any downside in using the new RTMP.pm file? There is no downside - it's just a mod to handle a quirk of the QNAPO Linux port. Any idea what QNAP mean that they will get SSOTS modified - is BBCiPlayer included in SSOTS ? For UK listeners - there is a choice for Listen Again (both Flash as transport) - AAC or MP3. AAC needs to be transcoded for SB3, Boom, Transporters and in standard SBS this is done by faad. For pre 7.3.2 - transcoding could also be done by mplayer and this will have a delay at startup. You can check by loking at what is the WebUI Settings/Filetypes/AAC setting. If you are in the UK and you disable AAC in the BBCiPlayer settings - BBCiPlayer should send an MP3 stream direct to player - no transcoding (i.e.no load on QNAP) and no delay. Any previous remark I made about 10 secs delay were probably in the context of mplayer for AlienBBC and playing RealAudio. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70812 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

So I'm not sure how exactly QNAP are going about the fix at their end. Thanks for the clarification on AAC and MP3. My QNAP seems to be handling AAC without difficulty, which is encouraging.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer Won't Play BBC Listen Again on QNAP
Perfect.
For other readers of the thread - QNAP is behaving as a mixed endian
system unlike other little endian ARM systems such as Radio/Touch and a
big-endian Freecom FSG3 NAS which I have.
The output of a code pasted below is as follows on different ARM
systems
Touch: ENDIAN:LITTLE Test of unpack: 0ff3 Swap
flag:0
QNAP: ENDIAN:LITTLE Test of unpack: 0ff3 Swap
flag:1
FSG3: ENDIAN:BIG Test of unpack: f30f Swap
flag:0
The problem is a word swap which is peculiar to ARM architecture and
some ports of Linux and/or the compiler..
I believe this has confirmed the problem - now the fix needs to be
written..
Code:
use constant ENDIAN = unpack('S', pack('C2', 0, 1)) == 1 ? 'BIG' : 'LITTLE';
my $swapDoubles;
my $double = pack (d,1);
my $hex = unpack(h*,$double);
if ( $hex eq 0ff3){
$swapDoubles=1;
}
else {
$swapDoubles=0;
}
print ENDIAN: . ENDIAN. Test of unpack: $hex Swap flag:$swapDoubles\n;
I copied the code from this CPAN module
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/EXIFTOOL/Image-ExifTool-7.89/lib/Image/ExifTool.pm
- look for swapWord anbd SwapWords in the file.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer Won't Play BBC Listen Again on QNAP
Correct about swappign 1st and 2nd word when 32 bit number however I
think your version of RTMP.pm won't work for 2 reasons.
(i) encode_number is called with various size numbers such as 1,4 and 8
bytes so the swapDouble should only be done when length is 8.
(ii) when decoding swapDoubles should be done after swapbytes so
decode_number should be
return unpack('d', swapDoubles(swap( $_[0]) ) );
I'm not 100% sure but just looking at the exiftool.pm code as a
template.

Isn't it called with any perl number but always returns an 8 byte
string as its always returning the result of pack 'd'?
(ii) when decoding swapDoubles should be done after swapbytes so
decode_number should be
return unpack('d', swapDoubles(swap( $_[0]) ) );
Not sure I understand how it becomes reversable if this is the case -
should we not be able to encode and decode a number and get back to the
original..?
Anyway I'm possibly not thinking straight so happy to be proved wrong.
Perhaps someone can try it and let me how wrong it is!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer Won't Play BBC Listen Again on QNAP
There is an issue with ARM processor where they are mixed/cross endian for double - so I suspect there is something related since floating point nos are appearing. I'll try to find something more definitive. WARNING: On ARM processors, double variables have a different format from IEEE double on most other processors. The bit pattern used by the ARM hardware and software floating point implementations follows the IEEE standard; however, the byte order is different from standard practice leading to a cross-endian implementation. Be careful when sharing double values in memory between ARM and other processors. On ARM, while each word of a double is stored little-endian, the most significant word (the word containing the sign bit) is at the lower address. This is neither pure big-endian (as implemented in 68k processors) nor pure little-endian (as implemented in x86 processors). Cygnus added a new binary floating point format, littlebyte_bigword, to GNU libiberty and changed GDB to use this format for ARM; this implementation is adopted for WRS ARM BSPs and for CrossWind. This format is chosen to be consistent with the ARM hardware floating point implementation, the ARM7500FE FPA Coprocessor Macrocell. However, since most IEEE floating point implementations are pure big- or little-endian, shared memory exchange of double variables is complicated by the unique cross-endianness of ARM double variables. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70812 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer Won't Play BBC Listen Again on QNAP
I've comes across this patch to handle unpack d on an ARM platform.
It was part of a Tiff library for Perl. Instead of getting a value 1
returned the value 5.29980882362664e-315 was returned. The patch is old
from 2005 which makes me think some compiler update may have removed
it.
It is worth nothing that 0x0ff3 is 5.29980882362664e-315 on
some endian configurations.
Code:
my $double = pack (d,1);
my $hex = unpack(h*,$double);
if ( $hex eq 0ff3 ){
$swapDoubles=1;
}
else {
$swapDoubles=0;
}
.
.
.
sub DoUnpackD(@)
{
my ($bytes, $template, $dataPt, $pos) = @_;
my $val='';
if ($swapBytes) {
$val = '';
$val .= substr($$dataPt,$pos+$bytes,1) while $bytes--;
} else {
$val = substr($$dataPt,$pos,$bytes);
}
if ($swapDoubles) {
my $bot = substr($val,0,4);
my $top = substr($val,4,4);
$val=$top.$bot;

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer Won't Play BBC Listen Again on QNAP
I think the line 131 error is not significant as it emanates from the Radiofeeds App and the BBC App - neither of which are related to the BBCiPlayer plugin. The Apps are supplied as part of SBS by Logitech. The BBCiPlayer plugin is a 3rd party plugin and not an App. The BBCiPlayer problem is affecting many QNAP users who are using SSOTS so it is not clear where the problem is originating. Disabling AAC in BBCiPlayer settings should result in MP3 being sent directly to play and so avoid transcoding - yet nothing happens which is strange.
