So the Silabs chipset is not widely available in other dongles - it seems only in the reference implementation. I found very few FM USB dongles. Radioshark is good although no RDS, it has AM as well as FM. The SC call getMetadataFor as part of a protocolhandler is used to return all info that can be displayed on the Squeezeplay Web devices and use SetCurrentTitle for SB3. So it is easy to feed info in realtime. I have a plugin called TunerPlay for Windows.

It looks like additional code is in needed in Softsqueeze to emulate
SB3 - it is probably not practical nor the correct thing to do. The
better way would be to figure out how Pandora is supported with SB1 as I
think the SB1 firmware has not been changed for a few years.
The following is an idea I had about a workaround.
Assuming you have mplayer and lame installed, there is a slim chance
that adding the following lines to the convert.conf might work.
Code:
pandora mp3 softsqueeze *

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Softsqueeze 3.9 beta for testing
I think there were changes in SB firmware for SC 7.3.x were to support Pandora and other services where the SB gets a connections and port needed for its direct connections and the SB has to tell SC that it was successfuk connecting. It might have been necessary to ensure playing as there are security issues (e.g. geo IP blocking) when using Pandora on SN - as the geographical location of player would not be the same as SN. The setting makes sense as web proxying avoids the SB player doing the direct connection but it implies an SC server and SC is basically the same mechanism used when playing Pandora on synced players. I think the Geo IP blocking would be done on the location of SC server.

Sorry!! Don't follow you! When u say I don't need to install Squeezecenter on the remote pc, are u saying I should not install it? Or that it does not matter? What do you mena by a remote pc - a PC on the same local LAN/subnet or a PC accessing your Squeezecenter over the internet ? Softsqueeze is just a player just like an SB3. You can have many PCs each running a copy of Softsqueeze but all connected to a single Squeezecenter. Don't understand why it would not need to be registered!! I want to run Softsqueeze on more than one remote pc. So how would Squeezecentre on my main pc differentiate? Indeed, when you run Softsqueeze in provides a unique number to enable registration.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00
To try to isolate the problem source - you need to try to run a few programs in turn to see which if any affects LAN speed. 1. Start SC running playing a local source and ensure network speed is 270mbs. Keeps this running for all tests. 2. Start playing same audio out of PC speakersas when you have the LAN speed problem. Using Windows recorder accessory - record audio from Wave Out. Check if network speed changes while recording. This test SC running and recording from PC audio. The WaveInput plugin is not in use. 3. Start playing same audio out of PC speakersas when you have the LAN speed problem. Get a copy of wavin2cmd.exe from the Plugin Bin a directory and lame.exe 3.96.1 into the same temp directory. Open a command prompt window and change direct to the temp directory with wavin2c,mf.exe and lame.exe . Run the following command wavin2cmd.exe -o wavin:0 | lame -x - audio.mp3 Check LAN speeds. After a few minutes stop the command and play the file audio.mp3 to ensure that you were recording the audio stream. If is just static - remove the -x command probably because version of lame is not 3.96.1. This is effectively the same processes that run when WaveInput plugin is being used. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35718 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

The number can be between 0 and 255 but in reality don't try below 50.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00
BGU, I think there are two issues here but they could be related. 1. Network speed drops from 270 to 15Mbps 2. Stops, skips and buffering. The results are interesting but unfortunately do not provide nay insight into the problem. Test 2 3 are basically the same test just using Recorder or wavin2cmd to copy audio data to a file. If there was a difference in the network speeds then wavin2cmd.exe could be blamed. Since both tests have the same result all that can be said is that capturing audio while running SC seems to affect Network performance. To see if SC has any affect on the problem - you could run the Recorder test with a Browser playing a network radio station and without SC running and check to see if network speeds changes between Recorder running or not. Even though network goes down to 15Mbps - this is still lots of capacity for SC - so there must be another reason for the skips - excessive CPU usage is one possibility. I have two theories 1. Security software - it is checking all network activity and the audio capture will look like network traffic and so it is slowing whole system down. The test is to disable all security s/w and see if there is a change. 2. USB network driver - the USB network adaptor has put a lot of code in the kernel network driver and not a lot in the adaptor so that it can be updated to handle changes in the 802.11n standards. Anything that operate at Kernel level (e.g. audio capture) will take away CPU time from the USB network driver and so affects performance. Test - use onboard LAN connection and then a Normal 802.11g USB and see if performance is affected. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35718 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Support of AAC/AAC+ involves transcoding for Squeezebox but if transcoded to Flac there should be no loss in audio quality.

The progress bar is misleading - once SC starts to connect progress assumes everything is OK and starts counting even if no connection has been made to station. Only when SC says connection broken does progress bar stop. The audio stream is live so can only supply data at 48kbps and so to fill the 128kb (?) cache will always take time (cache size / stream data rate). having a high speed broadband cannot speed up the realtime live data stream only listen again streams.

Check WebUI Settings/Advanced/File Types - all the RTSP setting should be greyed out. If they are not greyed out then there is a 2nd mplayer.sh somewhere. 5. Stop SC ands rename the mplayer.sh file back to mplayer.sh -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65473 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC - 7.3.3 - cannot stream?
AlienBBC 2.4 will not work with 7.3 due to SC changes in 7.3 You could try the mplayer.sh from 2.4 (http://alienbbc.googlecode.com/svn-history/r22/trunk/Alien/Bin/mplayer.sh ) or just comment out the exec and sleep lines from mplayrer.sh. There is no need to stop /start SC when making changes to mplayer.sh I think the problems is some sort of installation issue which has cropped up with the new install. A new install of 7.2 may have the same problem. I think it is better to solve this problem - the next step is to run SC from a command line so that debugging output from mplayer.sh can be logged as the problem is in mplayer.sh. However first I need to do the test myself so I can write down the test instructions. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65473 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

To test SC from a command line. 1. Open a terminal window logged in as root - make sure the terminal window has a large buffer so that the displayed messages can be copied later. 2. To stop SC running in the background /etc/init.d/squeezecenter stop 3. To run standard install of SC on Ubuntu 9.04 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/sbin/squeezecenter-server --prefsdir /var/lib/squeezecenter/prefs --logdir /var/log/squeezecenter/ --cachedir /var/lib/squeezecenter/cache --charset=utf8 --user=squeezecenter 4. To restart background - first CTRL/C to stop SC and then /etc/init.d/squeezecenter start You should check the above sequence out before making the changes below to the Alien custom-convert.conf. When checking it out do a test run of playing an BBC station.

That's great - at least now the problem is identified.

[AO PCM] Failed to open /dev/fd/3 for writing! Could not open/initialize audio device - no sound. This problem was fixed by the exec sleep combination on other systems - it seemed to only happen on newer faster systems. The sleep 0.1 time is a bit arbitrary as it depends on the processor and system. You could try to increase it to say 0.3 or 0.5 and see if it works. You do not need to stop SC between test. Just edit mplayer.sh altering the sleep value between testing playing BBC station.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC - 7.3.3 - cannot stream?
I already had mplayer segfault problems on a linux Intel machine, now it looks I have the same on an amd64 machine. I guess it boils down to my brew of repos + singularities in kernel compilation choices (I use 250Hz ticks, no preempt for example); I had Alien working well with a stock kernel, then updated to lenny 5.0.1-5.0.2 + custom kernel (2.6.28-1) + SC7.3.2-7.3.3 and got the immediate mplayer segfault issue again. I need the custom kernel -from this exact, outdated source revision!- to have ACPI working correctly. I had removed the other kernels and did some apt-autoremove before witnessing the issue, so I can't track back and pinpoint it more specifically. mplayer just uses TCP and audio so there should be no need for a special kernel. Most common reason for mplayer segfault - using a 3rd party build and your PC does not have all the hardware or CPU support is wrong (e.g. VIA processor). Build your own mplayer - it is very straight forward. - Wrong CPU auto detected - manually build mplayer and tell it to assume no SSE2, SSE3 etc. - don't support any of the special CPU instructions set (e.g. Intel, AMD) variations. If I find the time I will try to replace mplayer with vlc (neither have extremely legible command lines) and report. Vlc has many interfaces, including a telnet one, so I guess replacement is possible. Or is it not ? I don't think vlc has the necessary realaudio support to work with AlienBBC. Stick with mplayer. Stick with an old release if necessary as newer release (and buggier) mainly add video support which are not necessary for AlienBBC. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65473 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] A new AlienBBC 2.6b1 beta for testing.
A new version of AlienBBC is available for beta testing. This beta is only available for 7.3.x and 7.4. The main aim of the beta is to support SqueezeCenter 7.4noweb-sqllite. An initial version of a new feature has been added to display station logo and provide Now Next information on live WMA (e.g. using More Radio menu) and RealAudio streams. This feature enables UK users to use the higher speed BBC WMA URLs and get program information. please provide feedback on this feature (e.g. not useful, make configurable, change layout) The Now Next information is put into the Artist and Album fields so on WebUI the Next info is displayed above the Now. On Squeezeplay - the next info will scroll after the Now on the Now playing display. There a few bug fixes to show program information again when playing Listen Again. INSTALLATION. 1. Add this repository to Extension Downloader http://alienbbc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/testrepo.xml 2. A new entry will appear offering AlienBBC upgrade to 2.6b1-7.3. Select and click Apply. 3. Restart SC After restart, if AlienBBC does not have a BBC Live Streams - WMA menu then go to AlienBBC Plugins settings and click Reset menu. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65546 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC - 7.3.3 - cannot stream?
The default setup of mplayer.sh uses /dev/fd/3 as the device to pipe output from mplayer to SC and on your system mplayer cannot open this device. There is a fix to mplayer.sh in 2.5 for Ubuntu for accessing /dev/fd/3 but it does not seem to work for your systems. I tried to find out what is ahppening and it looks like /dev/fd/3 is in use by another process before mplayer. If that is the case then this may the cause of your problem. So test this - I suggest using /dev/fd/4 instead of /dev/fd/3 as 4 does not seem to be in use. To change device number requires changes to two AlienBBC files in /var/lib/squeezecenter/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/Alien. The custom-convert.conf and Bin/mplayer.sh 1. Change the /dev/fd/3 to /dev/fd/4 on the 4 RTSP lines of custom-convert.conf Code: [mplayer.sh] -really-quiet -vc null -vo null -bandwidth 1000 -cache 128 -af volume=0,resample=44100:0:1,channels=2 -ao pcm:file=/dev/fd/3 2. Change the reference to 3 to 4 in mplayer.sh Code: exec 31 sleep 0.1 You will need to restart SC to get the custom-convert.conf change take effect. As before a log of the mplayer output is needed to see if access to /dev/fd/4 worked or not. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65473 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] A new AlienBBC 2.6b1 beta for testing.
AlienBBC has two main purposes 1. Play RealAudio streams/files. Before June, RealAudio was the only format available by the BBC to non-UK user to listen to BBC Radio 1-4 live. 2. Access and listen to previously broadcast programs (aka LIsten Again or iPlayer) which are currently only available in RealAudio for non-UK listeners. The latest beta is a minor release. - fixes AlienBBC so that it works with all version of SC 7.4 (both trunk and noweb-sqllite) - Adds program information for the current program and the next program for the main live stations. This info is provided on the WMA feeds which means UK user can get program information and a high quality feed. Basic program information is provided by RadioTime on theirt BBC live feeds but - the RadioTime feeds are not reliable - UK users of Radiotime only get a 48kbps feed from RadioTime and not the 128kbps from the BBC. AlienBBC and BBCiPlayer perform roughly the same task of providing access to BBC Listen Again and it is likely that AlienBBC will eventually be reduced to just provide RealAudio support as BBC feeds that BBCiPlayer uses now seem to be reliable, -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65546 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Not sure of your explanations but SC supplies a version of patched flac because standard flac has a few bugs.
