Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Battery Compartment Mxstery

2019-07-07 Thread peterw


I noticed this same setup on my UE Radio when I opened it to disconnect
the battery a few weeks ago (on your advice**, thanks!). Neither of my
Squeezebox-branded Radios have this.

** I know you suggested removing the battery but I've just been
unplugging them.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Is the Smart Radio about to be discontinued?

2013-12-29 Thread peterw

The going price in the US is now $120, mostly from small resellers
(Amazon Marketplace, etc. -- congrats, m1abrams, on your $99 score). I
sure hope there's good news around the corner, but this does feel like
the end, the supply dwindling & driving up prices. If that's the case,
well, good luck, Michael.

Agreed. I'm pretty sure that even Boom, which shared more hardware with
SB2/SB3, used a different wireless chipset. Looking again at pictures of
Radio's internals, it appears that the wifi chipset is soldered on the
main circuit board and cannot be removed.

Good idea for a patch. If you're using Squeezebox Server, you may be
able to use KidsPlay to solve your problem, as it intercepts both
playing and setting preset buttons.

Not a helpful answer. I'm pretty sure that newer software releases --
at least 7.5, perhaps also 7.4 -- recognize a new IR code for toggling
mute/off. How to set that up with Harmony I'm not quite sure. Update
your codes from Harmony and see if it's listed?

Worse than guessable -- well known. But remote login is disabled by
default and can be left that way. You can also change the root password
(though firmware updates will probably reset it to "1234"). Radio is
also susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks and packet sniffing by
other devices on the network.

What you want is probably doable with a combination of a Squeezebox

ask in the 3rd party plugins forum to see if anyone is interested in
writing such tools -- assuming you don't want to tackle it yourself.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Using SBR at a hotel that requires an access code

2010-06-23 Thread peterw

Use an ethernet cable to connect Radio to laptop, and enable Internet
connection sharing on the laptop. 


Code:

Radio ---ethernet---> Laptop ~~~wireless~~~> hotel WiFi



You'll need to leave your laptop running, but this should work.

You should be able to use any old Ethernet cable, as both Radio and
your laptop should have "auto-sensing" ports (years ago, sharing like
this would have required a "crossover" Ethernet cable).

Good luck.

tell some frustrated new customer that they won't get satisfaction from
Logitech here, but might in other venues. 

But then the OP posted ever more confrontational messages. (Bullies?
Haters? Really -- "haters"?) Thanks to Phil (yes, OP, I, too, am
ignoring you), I now see that he thinks he's Socrates -- the virtuous
gadfly fighting the ignorant establishment. Ridiculous. 

Thanks to all who suggested the Ignore List -- it's been probably a
decade since I've used anything like a killfile, and I'm really glad to
see vBulletin includes that feature.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Take apart squeezebox radio case

2010-06-22 Thread peterw

You can use something like a credit card to pry the speaker grille off.
Once you've done that, you'll see the two screws that hold the
display/button/knob portion to the case (next to preset button 1 and
the volume knob). Remove those and I think you then remove the
display/button/knob portion like a door with a hinge on the right side.
There are three sets of wires connecting the display/button/knob portion
to the rest of the case (for speaker, AC adapter, and battery
connections). 

Personally I've gone no farther than removing the speaker grille, but
I've seen pictures of the rest. :)

Have you tried disabling the firewall on your SBS machine? Some
overzealous firewall rules block UDP broadcast packets, which Radio and
Touch depend on. If no firewall works, then you should revisit your
firewall config and be sure you allow broadcast UDP to port 3483 or
whatever it is.

Maybe it should have an Internet Radio button (with the RKO-style radio

Can you substantiate this claim? My recollection was that 7.4.2
coincided with the Radio Accessory pack's release and included the
bugfix, and that 7.5.0 did not include any battery fixes not already
present in 7.4.2 (note: 7.4.2, not 7.4 or 7.4.1).

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Local reliable alarm, what would be acceptable ?

2010-05-18 Thread peterw

To your feature list I'd add the ability to set a different alarm for
each day of the week (I disagree with bluegaspode on that, obviously).
I don't think you need the ability to set N arbitrary alarms, but I do
think it would be nice to try to accommodate users who don't wake up
the same time every morning.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Presets - Just Where are they Stored Anyway?

2010-05-12 Thread peterw

They're stored on the server side (SBS or MySB). Radio only tries to
keep track of *whether* a button has a preset defined. If so, when you
tap the button, Radio turns on and then asks the server to play "preset
#1", etc.

Some of the player settings are stored on the server side. You can use
my SettingsManager plugin (see below) to save the current Radio's
server settings to a "custom group", and then copy those custom
settings to the new one.

But many settings -- sound effects, screensavers, etc. -- are stored on
the Radio itself. Right now there's no good way to copy those. They're
generally stored on the Radio under /etc/squeezeplay/userpath, and you
*can* copy them on/off the device with a SCP client like WinSCP after
you enable Remote Login. At least the
/etc/squeezeplay/userpath/settings/SlimDiscovery.lua file has a
reference to the local player's hardware network interface MAC address,
so I wouldn't copy that one from old to new.

1) Yes, absolutely.

2) I don't know of anything that would allow that right now, but it's
technically feasible. It would be better to do this as an applet on the
Radio itself, but an SBS plugin would probably also work for you. Right
now you could cobble together some scripts to run on the SBS host as
scheduled tasks that would at least do a 'half-decent job fixing the
volume' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71095) at 0, so
the worst she could do is play with screens, look at cover art, etc
(make a scheduled task that every night sets the volume to 0 and turns
on VolumeLock; and every morning disable VolumeLock, or adjust it to
allow a good range of volume).

3) I'm not sure. If you're playing only "local" music, I expect you'd
be fine. But if you want her to be able to listen to music services
like Rhapsody, she'll probably need Internet access. By the sounds of
it, I expect you intend to limit her access to music that you've
vetted, so maybe that does mean local music only?

It would be more helpful to see iptables -L -v -n, but my guess is the
destination is the problem. You're accepting UDP:3483 from anywhere to
"hal.home.lan". My guess is that hal.home.lan maps to a specific IP
address, so broadcast UDP packets (to port 3483 on 255.255.255.255) are
being rejected. You want a rule in your INPUT chain that accepts udp
from anywhere to dport 3483 on any destination.

Yes, but not on Radio -- it's strictly a Boom/Classic/Transporter

AFAICT, the problems that some people have seen with SBS/MySB
preference syncing has to do with *automatic* preference syncing -- the
automatic mechanism would replace good settings with bad ones when it
should not. A manual mechanism shouldn't have such problems -- if the
player's prefs are only reset when someone clicks a Submit button on
the SBS Web interface, then all you would have to worry about are
PEBCAK errors. :-)

If you're running SqueezeboxServer locally, you might want to try the

Sure, since I can't imagine any good way for Radio to differentiate
between your yanking the plug and burning battery for another 20
minutes, and your power going out. What's it supposed to do, see if the
network is still up? At my house, my broadband and wifi are on a UPS,
and I wouldn't bother putting a battery-equipped device like a laptop or
Radio on a UPS.

Ben and Tom's answer to you is to hold the power button until Radio
says "Goodbye" (whether on AC or battery), and then you're safe.
Honestly, though, are you really more concerned about Tom's
taking-Radio-through-the-airport than you are
sleeping-late-because-the-power-failed? Given how nasty some of the
comments have been about Radio alarm failures, do you really think it's
wiser for Logitech to cater to the Tom-airport scenario than the
didn't-know-Goodbye-meant-no-alarm scenario?

[SlimDevices: Radio] own a Radio and battery? Please test this alarm behavior

2010-03-22 Thread peterw

with SBS 7.4.2, 7.4.3/daily, or 7.5.0 and either the official battery or
a home-made battery

1) make sure the battery is fairly well charged
2) set an alarm for 30 minutes after the current time
3) unplug Radio from the wall
4) after 20 minutes, Radio should shut down to conserve battery
5) see if the alarm sounds at the scheduled time

Currently Radio will *not* sound an alarm if you turn it off by
pressing the power button (by design). I'd like to know if the alarm
will sound if the power goes out overnight, or if "auto shutdowns" also
effectively squelch scheduled alarms.

Thanks!

Right, the receiving/asleep machine needs a wired connection. Most
folks recommend using wired ethernet to connect the SBS host to the
wireless access point, in which case a wireless Squeezebox should be
able to use WOL to wake the server up. But, right, if the server uses a
wireless network connection, that won't work.

I cannot confirm how Radio behaves with a battery, as I don't have a
battery. In fact, my Radio cannot take a battery -- it's an early
hardware version (I'm a lucky beta tester).

Yeah, I hear WOL has some problems in 7.4.x, but I have not run SBS on
a WOL-capable server in years.

It's just broadcasting UDP packets -- as long as the Squeezebox and
server are on the same subnet (as in 99% of home networks), why wouldn't
it work?

Maybe, but I think if you don't want alarms to fire, then you should
disable them (either individually, or using the global alarms enabled
option). I guess we'll see what Logitech says, and maybe I'll publish a
patch if they say the current behavior is intentional.

Actually it's supposed to wake up 3 minutes early, but it doesn't do
that if you manually power it down. I don't have a battery, so I can't
test the auto-shutdown scenario. Bug filed, patch submitted:

Grr, yeah, there seems to be a bug here. Looks like the SqueezePlay
code deliberately unschedules the wakeup when you power Radio down. Not
good.

Let's stop this speculation right now -- Radio does have this
capability. Like most electronic devices, Radio is never truly fully
powered off -- a tiny, very low power microcrontroller is always running
when there's power (battery or AC), even when the SqueezeOS and
SqueezePlay software that handle networking, display, and audio are shut
down (when Radio appears to be "fully off"). Radio's microcontroller can
wake Radio up at a scheduled time, and the SqueezePlay software ensures
that the microcontroller will wake Radio before the next scheduled
alarm. Since you can only schedule an alarm when Radio is "on" (and, if
using a Controller or web browser or device like iPod + iPen, connected
to SBS or MySB), SqueezePlay should always schedule the microcontroller
to wake Radio up in time.

Nice. Much more impressive than my fiddling through menus to turn a
table lamp on. :-)

To show text, just add another CLI command in your KidsPlay macro,
e.g.


Code:

display "Turning the lights red..." ; 
  kidsplayexec  /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null -t 1 
http://192.168.1.20/onderbedaan.php



would display a pop-up menu on that Radio just before executing wget.

In the Web interface, go to Settings > Advanced > Logging. You should

Hey, someone else is using my Denon plugin? I had no idea! No, if
you're seeing the KidsPlay settings, it should be installed fine. Next
guess I'd have is that you may need to use the full path to wget, e.g. 
Code:

kidsplayexec xx /usr/local/bin/wget -nc 
http://192.168.1.20/onderbedaan.php



BTW, I do see a bug in kidsplayexec in 2.6.0 that shouldn't affect you
-- looks like it refuses to run simple commands (commands without
additional arguments).

You need to 
1) Set kidsplay to normal
2) Assign a normal playable song, station, favorite, etc to the button
and confirm that works
3) Then you can set kidsplay to handle that button
If that doesn't work, please try A) disabling MySqueezebox.com sync
(some Radio owners report that as causing problems, though it sounds
like most of the MySB setting/alarm sync problems have been fixed -- are
you running 7.4.2?) and B) setting the plugin.KidsPlay logging to Debug
to see what's logged when you press the Radio's button.

Yeah, that could be pretty cool. Pipe TTS sound  to aplay via ssh,
pause playback via CLI or Perl code if you want to only hear the TTS.

That's plenty of current for Radio. You have to play Radio quite loud

If you're running Squeezebox Server, my KidsPlay plugin will let you do
just that. You need to use my test repository
(http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/slim7/repodata-test.xml) in order to
get version 2.5.3 which includes the ability to 'run scripts on the

Have you looked at KidsPlay? It only works if you're running Squeezebox
Server locally, but you can use it to kick off random mix, even
set/clear genres, set the volume level, etc.

Hold the power button for 2 seconds and Radio will shut down (the
SqueezePlay/SqueezeOS software will shut down), not just go into the
"off" screensaver mode. When "fully off" like this, I understand the
battery does not charge, even if Radio is plugged into a live AC outlet.
I expect this is because the code controlling charging probably relies
on SqueezeOS.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] SqueezeBox Radio battery kit avalible

2010-03-04 Thread peterw

BTW, all the battery links I've looked at in this thread have been for
basic NiMH cells, but word from a Logitech engineer is that the official
battery pack uses Low Self-Discharge NiMH cells. From what I understand
about NiMH (also having used them casually for years), you want LSD
cells if you're going to leave your Radio unplugged, or even plugged in
but "fully off" (in which case the batteries aren't being charged) for
weeks or months at a time, so the combination of self-discharge and the
very slight power drain of the microcontroller won't drain your
batteries so low that they can't be revived. Even with LSD cells, you'll
want to avoid leaving your Radio "off" for many months at a time, but
using LSD cells would buy you an extra margin of safety.

I've filed an enhancement request to make Radio a bit more intelligent
about keeping batteries from going flat if it's left "off" but plugged
in, but I don't know if/when that enhancement might be added. Since
Logitech is using LSD cells, Radio probably doesn't need to be turned on
as often as they've suggested, so there probably aren't as many
customers at risk of dead batteries as I first feared.

1) If you use a run Squeezebox Server locally, KidsPlay can map a preset
button to start a sleep timer (and set volume, load a playlist, set
shuffle mode, etc.).
2) Not any more. Hopefully a future Squeezebox Server release will
restore this capability.

Whether they're "cheap and nasty" I cannot say. Certainly nicer than

Hold the power button for 2 seconds to initiate a proper shutdown.
After it's shut down, a short press of the power button will boot it up
again. (Personally I 'wish it took more than 2 seconds'

Take a look at KidsPlay. It's not super user-friendly, but you can
pretty much do that with KidsPlay, following the recipes included with
it. The only significant limitation is from Squeezebox Server -- all
players use the same Genre selection for Random Mix. So if somebody in
the bedroom started a Jazz mix and then somebody in the family room
started a Childrens' mix, when the first set of Jazz songs finished, the
bedroom would probably start playing kids' music. I don't know if anyone
has opened an enhancement request for per-player random mix genres or
not. I suspect Erland's plugins may also provide an alternative to
Random Mix that wouldn't have that "competing genre" problem that Random
Mix has.

Sorry, I forgot. That's right, but it can be used to start playing a
random song mix with one button press, including making sure the right
genres are included or excluded.

Most people want a single "household" mysb account so everyone can
access the same paid content (Rhapsody, Napster, etc.). As I understand
it, Logitech planned to support multiple Facebook accounts per mysb
account, but Facebook asked them to limit it to 1 per mysb account.
Hopefully a 3rd party Facebook applet/plugin will appear that makes this
better, as Logitech's hands are kinda tied here. :-(

And one downside to a real NTP client is that it NTP uses its own
protocol. With the SBS/MySB comet polling, as long as the Squeezebox can
see a Music Library, then it has enough connectivity to get time
updates. A true NTP client (one that understands & maintains drift
information) would be far better for keeping accurate time, but might
involve more calls to Logitech support. If the next version of busybox
includes an NTP client, I think it'd be great for Logitech to compile it
in, but I could understand sticking with the SBS/MySB poll technique for
regular users.

Has anyone filed a ticket at bugs.slimdevices.com on this? I did not
find one. It looks like busybox doesn't include a proper NTP client, so
one should be added (an NTP client would be better than frequent
MySB/SBS time syncs, IMO): http://busybox.net/tinyutils.html

I hope you mean to say that you think the button command should only be
supported on IP3K devices (or IP3k devices featuring IR receivers).
Right?

Having a button command as part of the IP3K IR processing chain is very
useful for customizing the behavior through plugins. I'd hate to see it
disappear.

I think that's an SBS bug. I get a complaint like
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at
server/Slim/Buttons/Common.pm line 649 -- and that line is


Code:

my $visModes = scalar @{ $prefs->client($client)->get('visualModes') };



--code that assumes that the player has a preference named
'visualModes' that is a Perl array. My Radio has no such preference on
the server side. I suspect this is one of those commands that just
doesn't work with new players -- and doesn't fail very gracefully,
either. :-(

I'm not aware of any. I expect some of the old commands will do next to
nothing on the new gear like Radio and Touch. There's been a change in
mindset at Logitech. The old gear was treated much more like dumb
terminals, and plugins and CLI clients had more ability to completely
control the hardware. The new gear is designed to be more autonomous,
with more loosely federated households of players. I expect you'll just
have to try things out. You might also want to file a ticket at
bugs.slimdevices.com -- the API specs should clarify when commands
behave differently on different Squeezeboxes.

If it's a JP1-capable remote, you can program it to send the official
Slim Devices / Squeezebox codes with a JP1 configuration like the one I
posted in this thread:
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63757

If it's a universal learning remote & you have access to a Squeezebox

I have not checked to see if Radio respects the old JVC DVD codes the
way the older gear (like Boom) does.

I don't know of any way to do that with KidsPlay. On Boom you could
probably use a sequence of 'button' commands like

Code:

button browse; button home; button down; button down; button down; button 
right


but in SBS 7.4.2, Radio doesn't respond to 'button' CLI commands. That
doesn't surprise me much (though it is disappointing), as normally
button presses, especially for navigating lists, would be handled by the
software running on Radio itself. About the best you could probably do
now is use the Settings > Advanced > Beta Features > Shortcuts to remap
a button to act like the Favorites button.

That's tough for eap's case where you don't want to trigger resumption
of playback. Plus, as I said in the bug ticket, I think the current
alarm settings menus need help. Alarms should be listed chronologically,
not in the order they were initially set up.

I think there's hope for that -- recent Touch firmwares have included
an experimental button remapping feature. I don't expect it to be as
flexible as KidsPlay, but it's also true that I should be able to write
a KidsPlay "applet" to run on Radio and allow remapping any button to do
complex things. I've been waiting on bug 14194 in hopes that Logitech
will free up more source and I won't have to do as much work. :-)

I think you may be talking about me, but I'm merely an AutoDim user who
turned into a de facto maintainer because I couldn't live without it --
AutoDim has had a number of maintainers over the years, and is a success
story for Free Software licensing (and a reason why Logitech needs to
address bug 14194). That said, there's another bug that's actually more
relevant to AutoDim on Radio (and Touch) -- number '11442'
(https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11442). Unfortunately many
of the settings for Controller, Radio, and Touch exist only on the
Squeezebox itself. If the brightness and screensaver settings for Radio
were available in Squeezebox Server, it would probably be pretty easy to
adapt AutoDim for Radio and Touch -- at least for those of us running
Squeezebox Server. Bug 14194 is more of an impediment for
MySqueezebox.com users, and other things that some of us developers
would like to do.

I don't think the two ideas are in conflict. Allowing a user to press
the alarm button to get "Next Alarm" info would help users who have
"screen dark" screensavers or choose other screensavers that don't show
the alarm time (a number of 3rd-party screensavers for the old gear,
including one I wrote, don't bother showing any alarm indicator; I
expect the same will be true on the new players).

That's unfortunate, and a little surprising. I thought UDP was only
used for "discovery" of servers, so I'd expect the ability to manually
enter an IP or hostname (SqueezePlay should have no trouble with
hostnames, at least simple DNS names if not winbind) and just play the
music.

Since Radio has both WiFi and Ethernet, you should be able to either
1) connect Radio to the hotel WiFi and use ethernet between Radio and a
laptop/netbook so you could use the laptop/netbook to deal with the
portal (using Linux iptables NAT) -- would require an enhancement to
Radio, see https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11150
2) connect the laptop/netbook to the hotel WiFi and use ethernet
between Radio and the laptop/netbook so the laptop/netbook could share
its connection with Radio via ethernet

The second option is probably better if you want to take your laptop to
other parts of the hotel, and should work with the current Radio
firmware.

However, as far as I know traffic between Radio and SBS or
MySqueezebox.com is entirely unencrypted. I don't know of anyone who's
bothered to create "cloning" software for Squeezeboxes, but it's likely
that anyone else in the hotel could "sniff" your Radio's MAC and UUID
and at anytime afterward impersonate you at MySqueezebox.com -- giving
them the power to mess with your favorites, saved stations, Facebook
info, etc. Squeezebox, Squeezebox Server, and MySqueezebox.com are
ill-suited for use over "open wireless" networks, in my opinion. If the
WiFi service is good enough, you may be able to resolve most concerns by
using an encrypted tunnel back to your home network much as lrossouw
did.

Thanks. There was already a bug/enhancement request about making the
alarm button do something when Radio is off, so I added a note about
your concern & my suggestions to that ticket. I would suggest you at

Unless the player is synced with others -- Stop and Pause always affect
the whole sync group. Power off only affects the individual player
(unless you have your setup configured to synchronize the power of all
synced players).

Yes, it can be at first.

I like your suggestion about using the alarm button to check without
turning radio on (and possibly resuming playback), but I think that
could take a lot of work, especially allowing you to change the
settings. Checking the alarm (currently) means navigating menus, and
navigating menus (currently) means turning the unit "on", potentially
triggering playback. 

What if pressing the alarm button when "off"/standby caused the screen
to display information about the very next alarm for about 5 seconds --
things about the alarm like the time & day, the volume, maybe even the
selected playlist? Maybe also the current time and day?

It involves some client logic -- the seq_no (not seq) tag value is sent
back to the client in a SlimProto command (this is from Squeezebox2.pm,
which is used for SqueezePlay clients, too):

Code:


  if (defined($client->sequenceNumber())) {
  $data = pack('NNCCNNN', $oldGain, $oldGain, $dvc, $preamp, $newGain, 
$newGain, $client->sequenceNumber());
  }
  else {
  $data = pack('NNCCNN', $oldGain, $oldGain, $dvc, $preamp, $newGain, $newGain);
  }
  $client->sendFrame('audg', \$data);
  



> Well, it makes a lot of sense to me.

The CLI format *00:04:20:01:02:03 mixer volume 50 ipeng:1* worked as
well as I could expect in 7.3 and 7.4 -- in 7.4 I see the tag and can
respect it, but in 7.3 I cannot. I just pushed a new test version of
SyncOptions that refuses to do relative volume sync for any CLI command
with an "ipeng" tag with value "1".

Your best bet for an explantion, if support doesn't give one, is to use

Yeah, SqueezePlay in 7.4 uses "seq" tags, I think to help deal with any
contention between local and server-based volume changes (Radio's volume
knob changes its volume immediately and notifies SBS after the fact). I
think it should be 


Code:


  mixer volume 95 ipeng:1
  



I'll get back to you when I get that figured out and tested. Thanks for

If you use Squeezebox Server, you can remap one of the 6 numbered
buttons with my KidsPlay plugin. You'd use a macro like *button sleep*
if you want to cycle through the various normal sleep times (end of
song, 15m, 30m, etc.).

You can also make the button do more complex things like start a
certain playlist at a certain volume and then start the sleep timer:

Have you contacted Logitech support? Personally I think it should "just

Yes, right. SyncOptions hooks itself into SBS so it's aware of every
sync/unsync and volume change, so this is not bad at all.

Ah, of course. 

Is there a way my plugin could tell if it was iPeng that was changing
the volume? It wouldn't make any sense for SyncOptions to do relative
volume syncing if the user is using a controller like iPeng that handles
that already and already has a way to explicitly change one player's
volume, but I could see SyncOptions users wanting relative volume
changes if they turned the knob on a Radio or Boom. With SBS 7.4, the
mixer volume CLI command supports tags (SqueezePlay/Radio/Touch use
them), so it's conceivable that iPeng could add an "ipeng" tag...

Funny, I only learned of the unlocked Euro iPhones a week after I was
in France (first trip from the US to Europe in a while). Just as well,
though, as word is that Orange France sells iPhones that are only
unlocked enough to accept other French SIM cards. :-/

Ah. What happens if you try to use the master volume in my A=40, B=60
scenario to turn A to max volume? Does A stop somewhere around 60 or 70
unless you use its individual slider?

I don't see that. If you turn A or B to 0 in my scenario, they still
have the same "original" volumes. Turn A to 0 and both do go to 0, but
if you then increase A to 10, B would go to 15 (new A volume 10 /
original A volume 40 * original B volume 60 = new B volume 15). While my
first algorithm *did* have a stuck-at-zero flaw, that algorithm never
left my laptop! (Actually there is a way to get stuck-at-zero still, but
only if Player C joins the group while A and B are at 0, or close to it.
I see how your algorithm would help in that case.)

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox radio too loud

2009-12-24 Thread peterw

Pippin, thanks for sharing your algorithm. Mine's a straighforward
linear/proportional model based on the N/100 volume level -- when a
player joins a sync group, I note each player's volume. When any volume
changes, I calculate the new / original ratio, calculate new volumes for
sync peers, and change their volumes if needed.

If any player would go over 100, I refresh my "orginal" volumes. That's
the best I came up with to deal with this use case: A at 40, B at 60. A
jumps to full volume. B should go to 150, but that's impossible, so B
goes to 100, also. Now somebody decreases the volume of B to 95. What
happens to A? 

If I had treated B as having a relative synced volume of 150, then
switching to 95 would be a ~34% decrease. Even with your model, as I
understand it, you'd average -34% and -5% and decide to decrease A by
about 20 clicks just because B became a little bit quieter. 

The tradeoff for my model of recalculating when any peer hits 100 is
that if you really turn the volume up, you end up with the players
pretty much back at the old Logitech model of each player having exactly
the same volume. But I rarely crank any player to full volume, so this
is a tradeoff I'm not too worried about.

What I have now certainly isn't perfect (and I just realized there's
probably a bug in how it handles a player joining an existing sync group
if the existing sync group has already taken advantage of the relative
volume sync), but I do find myself appreciating it more than I expected
when I'm syncing players in adjacent rooms.

christhedon;481977 Wrote: 
> Any ideas on this. As it stands its make the system cumbersome.

You could try my SyncOptions plugin version 2.1.30 or newer from my
*test* repository,
http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/slim7/repodata-test.xml. This version
adds a new option, "relative volume sync". To use it, do NOT set the
core synchronize volume option, but enable the SyncOptions "relative
volume synchronization" option. As you change volume on any given
player, SyncOptions will make proportionate volume changes on the others
it's synced with.

There's an additional setting you can tweak -- how many seconds to wait
after joining a sync group before volume changes affect all players.
Imagine you have Player A and Player B synced, and then you make Player
C join that sync group. This user-configurable delay time gives you as
many seconds as you'd like to tweak Player C's volume without affecting
the volume on A or B, as C is likely to be either too quiet or too loud
when it first joins the sync group. After the specified delay, you
should see a message on the player or Controller display reminding you
that any volume change from that point on will affect all players in
that sync group.

Please let me know what you think of it. I've tested it a bit on a 7.3
system but not on a 7.4 system with Radio (laziness, sorry).

-Peter

A number of us who own Controllers saw significant improvement in
reliability after reconfiguring them to use truly static IPs. In my
case, I have two, and both had reliability problems until I configured
*one* of the two to use a static IP. They've both been fine ever since.

DHCP reservation *should* be a viable alternative to static IP
(especially if you can set very long lease expiration times), but
unfortunately it's not always the case. For Controller, I suspect that
some power saving code may complicate matters -- perhaps when waking up
from a power-saving mode it wants to renew its lease? I don't know, I
never bothered debugging at the packet level since configuring a static
IP was easier than debugging and apparently solved the problem.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Kidsplay: different behavior on same preset for separate Radios?

2009-12-23 Thread peterw

I thought about waiting until the 25th to post this, but I expect I
won't have much time to do additional testing, so here goes...

If you're game, I just posted a version 2.4.0 to my *test* repository,
http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/slim7/repodata-test.xml, that implements
the second option. If you set a player-specific macro for a given
button, KidsPlay will use that in place of any globally-defined macro
for that button. (Sorry, I didn't add an "enable" checkbox; you'll need
to wipe out any player-specific macro if you want to switch back to the
global macro for that button.)

In both "global" and "player-specific" editing modes, it will indicate
if there are macros defined in the other scope -- e.g., if editing for
one player, the pulldown will have a "+" next to any item defined
globally, and when you select that button, you'll see an "all players"
link you can hover your mouse over to see the global definition. When
editing global definitions, you should see the same "+" if any currently
connected player has its own definition, and if you select a button,
you'll see a list of all players that define their own macros for that
button, with the same "tooltip" feature for seeing what each player
defines for that button.

You can also assign descriptions for each button macro, and these
descriptions appear in the pulldown, so you can more quickly remember
what you programmed the button to do. It's bugged me for a while now
that I keep forgetting which of the 0-9 buttons does what on my kid's
remote. :-) If you don't give a macro a description, the pulldown will
flag that button with a "*" so at least you know that you've assigned
something to that button.

I've only tested this very, very lightly, and would appreciate your
testing & feedback.

Thanks,

Peter

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio architecture question for Slim developers

Wait, wait, let's keep talking architecture!

I thought SqueezePlay, like Squeezebox Server, was deliberately
single-threaded and applet developers did not need to worry about thread
safety. Are you saying that a smart developer could actually use threads
(e.g. I could write an RS232 amp interface for Touch that used a
separate thread to prevent messing up the SqueezePlay UI responsiveness
while waiting a half a second for serial port data -- instead of moving
the RS232 stuff into a separate process on SqueezeOS)?

What you describe is not "static IP" but a "DHCP reservation". There
have been posts on this forum about editing /etc/network/interfaces on a
SB Controller for a true static IP configuration; it should be pretty
much the same process on SB Radio.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Kidsplay: different behavior on same preset for separate Radios?

2009-12-19 Thread peterw

I'll give it some thought. My initial goal with KidsPlay was making a
kid-ready IR remote, and I wanted the kid's remote to do the same thing
on all players, thus the global configuration. But I understand where
you're coming from.

There are three obvious approaches:

- per-player macros for everything. Either lots of copy-and-paste or
  perhaps using SettingsManager to make some buttons uniform
- combination of global and per-player macros. Use the
  player-specific settings for a given button when available, otherwise
  the global settings. 
- a new conditional syntax for KidsPlay, so you could have macros
  like

Code:


if::Kitchen: playlist play /something.m3u
if::Bedroom: playlist play /anotherthing.m3u
if::Bedroom: OTHERS: power 0



  

Do you have a strong preference? I think I tend to prefer the second
approach (offer global and per-player macros) -- the global page might
show you what attached Squeezeboxes have individual macros that override
any specific global macro.

Hah. I was just writing that the remote does have some use with Radio.
It's worthless, I'll admit, for navigating onscreen text, but for
launching presets, skipping tracks, adjusting the volume, pausing,
turning Radio off, etc., a remote is still nice to have.

I hear that! SB Touch should seize this opportunity to make the gear
more zone/sync-friendly. Here's a UI suggestion for Radio: press the
volume knob (which in 7.4 toggles the mute state) and get a screen like


Code:

Volume for synced players
  xx---
  Volume for this player
  xx---
  Volume for Den
  xxx--
  Volume for Kitchen
  -
  



Use the nav wheel to select a line, and the volume knob to change the
volume of the selected line. Mute is toggled by pressing a knob while a
line is highlighted, so you could easily mute any or all players. Use
three different colors for the volume indicators: one for the whole sync
group, one for the local player, and the other color for each of the
other players. Let users decide whether simple volume knob turns (i.e.,
using the volume knob on any other screen) control local or all synced
players' volumes. If the knob normally controlled the whole sync group,
the first line should be "Volume for synced players". So your typical
volume control would just require turning the volume knob, and the other
normal case would require you to tap the volume knob once to bring up
the special screen, nav down once, and then use the volume knob. Muting
whatever the volume knob normally controls would require two taps. The
"Volume for synced players" indicator would show the average volume of
all players in the sync group.

This should be very doable in an applet. Any takers?

Volume-hold won't work since that means change volume quickly, but
that's a nice idea for an ip3k UI using my ContextMenu plugin. I
wouldn't bother with a Jive UI, as my understanding of the core/jive
context menu in 7.4 is that it's too dumb/primitive (iiuc, 7.4 jive
context menus depend on line-items, not player state).

See my last comment. If there's no easy way to switch between "local"
and "group" volume, then, yes. I just don't imagine anyone would want it
to be difficult to change only the local player's volume.

And I think most Squeezebox owners (sadly) don't even own two
Squeezeboxes.

The trouble here is mainly one of user interface. It's simple if you
always only change the "local" volume (as SC/SBS do now), or if you
always change all synced players' volumes. But how do you -- within the
confines of the Boom, Classic, and Controller buttons & screens -- give
users the choice of either changing the volume on all synced players or
only the local player? Offering both local and group volumes are easy
with touchscreens as on SB Touch and iPod Touch, but not so easy when
you have simpler screens and dedicated volume buttons.

I've thought about adding group volume control to SyncOptions, but the
biggest problems are motivation (in years of owning multiple
Squeezeboxes, this is a feature I've seldom wished for) and the user
interface question. But maybe I'm wrong about the UI; maybe some folks
here really would like volume control to *always* affect all synced
players. Is that right?? You'd never want to only adjust the "local"
volume?

Or use a Squeezebox IR remote (it has a sleep button), or use KidsPlay
to assign one of the 1-6 buttons to be "button sleep".

If you run Squeezebox Server on a PC in your home, you can use my
KidsPlay plugin to make any of the 6 numbered buttons start something
like that. For example, see
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69864. You can program
any simple sequence of commands, for instance you could add a command to
ensure the songs play in random order, or add a command to ensure all
the other Squeezeboxes (you won't settle for just one!) turn off, etc.
-- all when you press a single button.

Good point. For this, I think a popup with a big 1-6 number would
suffice, don't you? SBS/MySB could then start playback or push a popup
saying the preset was undefined.

I think the opposite change is needed; I think Radio should be *less*
intelligent. AFAICT, the preset logic is something like

Code:

Try to keep track of which preset buttons have been assigned
  
  When a preset button is pressed briefly
  If there's nothing assigned to that button, do nothing
  Else
  Turn Radio on
  Tell the server (SBS or MySB) which button was pressed
  SBS/MySB tells Radio what to tune, etc.


So if Radio forgets a preset has been assigned, it does nothing. If the
problem you're seeing is due to Radio somehow forgetting which buttons
have been assigned, then pushing even more logic to Radio won't help;
you need to address the underlying cause of forgetfulness (and if you
fixed that, the current model should work fine).

I think it would be safer to mimic the slim/dumb model of older gear,
e.g.


Code:

Do NOT try to keep track of which preset buttons have been assigned
  
  When a preset button is pressed briefly
  Tell the server (SBS or MySB) which button was pressed
  SBS/MySB tells Radio to turn on, what to tune, etc.



Right now there are two possible causes for forgotten presets: 1)
SBS/MySB sync messes up what the server thinks the presets should be and
2) Radio forgets that a preset has been assigned. Making Radio dumber
would take the second failure out of the picture. And it would result in
simpler code -- a bunch of Radio/SqueezePlay code could disappear, and
the SBS/MySB side would need only a single line of code added ("if (!
$client->power() )  { $client->execute(['power','1']); }").

Next time this happens to you, try turning Radio "off" with a quick tap
of the power button, and then press the preset. If Radio turns on, then
the problem is in SBS/MySB. If Radio stays powered off, then somehow it
has forgotten, and the bug is more likely in Radio's firmware (though
not necessarily; it's possible that SBS/MySB could be giving it bad info
somehow).
