No. Based on the boot messages, LMS starts first, followed by ntpd and then squeezelite. Jivelite is started after auto login via .config/bspwm/bspwmrc. I haven't really had a chance to look at it but I'm wondering if it's an LMS delay due to failed DNS lookups at start (no network). The LMS log shows a couple attempts to reach github for the lms-plugin-repository and then multiple failed tries to resolve opml.radiotime.com. sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115923 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

My thought for this car project was: - Start the car, aopen boots, no boot time network interface configuration, LMS (with local media), squeezelite, and jivelite should function normally on 127.0.0.1. - For external connectivity, boot as above but then enable phone hotspot, have an app launcher on the aopen run a network config script - Much less frequently, I may want to dismount the aopen and bring it inside, in which case I may also want to connect to ethernet instead of wifi The bond interface was to account for the last use case - but so far, the aopen hasn't left my desk and I've only been using the ethernet port. I haven't tested swapping back and forth between wifi and ethernet yet. That said, the bond interface with ethernet connectivity works well and I haven't noticed any ssh delay?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS / Squeezelite / Jivelite - with no active interfaces?
Ralphy, thanks! That's working BUT (and I hate to complain) there's a delay of about 7-8 seconds on boot between when the jivelite UI is displayed and when the squeezelite player is automatically selected. I wasn't seeing this delay when I did my hack patch above. After boot and first load, if I exit and then restart jivelite, the player is there basically immediately. I'm not sure what the difference is between first boot and a restart of jivelite, possibly nothing to do with jivelite but something else at boot time is causing the delay? Anyway, for a more "normal" use case where you wouldn't reboot often, this fix would be great, but for this project, this will be in my car so it will be power cycling often and I need to keep the time from power on to player available as short as possible. I'll look at it some more and see if I can better understand where the delay is coming from. Also, I posted an old APKBUILD file in another thread and for this patch testing I updated it and I believe corrected the SPDX license identifier to "BSD-3-Clause". Do you concur? Sorry for having it at Public-Domain originally, I had copied an existing APKBUILD for something else as a starting point and never corrected it. sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115923 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Thanks Ralphy! I also successfully used a linux "dummy" interface (dummy0) but it didn't work any better than just using 127.0.0.1 so no point really.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS / Squeezelite / Jivelite - with no active interfaces?
I did a little more testing tonight and it seems I was completely over-nuking it with the above netns setup. Just explicitly using 127.0.0.1 for LMS, squeezelite and jivelite (via the above edit to SlimDiscoveryApplet.lua using 127.0.0.1) works fine. I can boot up with only the loopback up and it all works well. I am specifying a bogus mac for squeezelite using the -m option as I had an issue with two player entries with the same name and I think that could potentially happen again if interfaces are coming and going and squeezelite grabs different macs, depending on which interfaces are up at the time. I've got a little more testing to do with the eth0/mlan0 bond but I think I'm over this little hump. The only ugly thing is the SlimDiscoveryApplet.lua hack job but I think I'll live with it and move on. sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115923 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS / Squeezelite / Jivelite - with no active interfaces?
Probably posting a bit prematurely, but, I have a very, very, minimally
tested solution that seems to be working. I think the network piece is
overly complicated so I'll be trying to simplify that as much as
possible. Basically the goal is to have the wifi interface (mlan0) and
the ethernet interface (eth0) as members of a bond interface (bond0)
with bond0 configured for dhcp. LMS will run on a separate virtual
interface of some kind that's always up, or maybe the loopback
127.0.0.1, like I said, I need to continue to test to arrive at the
simplest solution.
I think the main issue in my testing so far has been that LMS and
squeezelite support specifying ip addresses to bind or connect to,
respectively, whereas jivelite seems to rely solely on discovery, which
falls on it's face if there are no interfaces up or gateway defined. The
patch below, while a bit hacky, doesn't involve recompiling anything and
allows you to skip discovery and specify a server address.

Thanks for the reply, I did actually see that one this morning, plus a couple of older threads which are similar but not identical to my use case. Some are picoreplayer specific (I'm not using a Pi in this case) and/or the solutions aren't really ideal for me I don't think, eg. adding a switch, or turning on hostapd for hotspot mode, setting static ips on the physical interfaces etc. I'll keep looking at it, I was doing a lot of skimming so I may have missed some important details in those threads. sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115923 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS / Squeezelite / Jivelite - with no active interfaces?
I feel like this question must have been asked before, probably more than once, but I can't seem to come up with a good search result. The short version is that I have a device with a touchscreen running LMS, squeezelite, and jivelite. It needs to be able to operate normally with no network interfaces up. And I don't mean just no internet, I mean all interfaces down. I've dicked around with it most of the weekend and so far the only working solution I've had is to assign a static IP to an interface (eth0), manually bring it up and then add a default route (which isn't reachable because there's no physical link). In this config, all 3 pieces of software worked as expected, even find_servers immediately found the locally running LMS. The problem is that I don't really want it like this, The physical interface(s) need to be able to change state, eg. up/down, connected to my home wifi or wired lan, connected to my phone hotspot, etc. all via DHCP. LMS, jivelite and squeezelite need to be unaffected by anything happening on the outbound interface(s). When I don't have a manually configured static IP and gateway (with no ethernet cable connected) LMS starts but is really slow to respond in the browser. Squeezelite won't autodiscover, I have to specify a connection IP. Jivelite starts but doesn't connect to a server, even when I manually add a remote library using the local static ip or 127.0.0.1, it won't connect. As soon as I put a static IP on an interface, set it to up, AND add a default gateway IP, everything starts working, even if nothing external is reachable due to the cable being unplugged. I setup a working separate network namespace (this is on linux) thinking I'd just run LMS/squeezelite/jivelite all in a separate net namespace and that would solve everything, even it adds complexity to the setup. I got it all working but it's acting just like it was when all interfaces were down and unconfigured. Can anyone provide any hints or forum links for standalone disconnected setups? sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115923 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS Video Folder Artwork with UPnP/DLNA Media Interface Plugin
Roku Media Player hasn't been updated in ages, then I started messing around with this and they pushed an update! Not sure it's an improvement exactly but it looks different and nav is laid out differently also. Check it out if you haven't recently. I made another small change so it jumps straight into folder browse mode after you select video, so the clicks to get to the screen below are: Roku Home -> Roku Media Player -> LMS server -> Music | Pictures | Video (select Video) I thought about hiding the Music and Pictures entries too, since I probably will never use them but left them for now. Maybe I'll just rearrange them so Video is first. Working great!

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS Video Folder Artwork with UPnP/DLNA Media Interface Plugin
LMS with Andy Grundman UPnP/DLNA plugin seems to work very well with my
Roku. I'm not sure why I haven't tried it before now. I'm trying to
tweak it so when browsing by video folder, the default folder icon in
the Roku Media Player app is replaced with movie artwork. For the sake
of a simple setup, I'd like to just have a video folder and then a bunch
of sub-folders, one movie or series per sub-folder and a folder.jpg file
in the sub-folder to use as the folder icon in the Roku interface.
I did a small edit to Slim/Plugin/UPnP/MediaServer/ContentDirectory.pm
and added the upnp:albumArtURI as seen below, using imageproxy to fetch
and resize the folder.jpg file. Hacky, but it's working just fine.
I've tested it on the Roku and on VLC on my Android phone. The
${foldername} bit below works but I've got the rest of the path hard
coded (/srv/video-test/). Is there some other variable or combination I
can use to represent the full path so I can get rid of the hard coded
part of the path?
Or a better approach altogether? And no, I don't want to use Plex.
Code:
if ( $type eq 'folder' ) {
my $fid = $flag eq 'BrowseMetadata' ? $id : '/vf/' . xmlEscape($item->{id});
my $foldername = xmlEscape($item->{filename});
$xml .= qq{}
. 'object.container.storageFolder'
. '' . $foldername . ''
. ''
.
absURL("/imageproxy/file%3A%2F%2F%2Fsrv%2Fvideo-test%2F${foldername}%2Ffolder.jpg/image_160x160_f.jpg",
$request_addr)
. ''
. '';
}

I run the latter on a Pi4, no issues, great performance. Hi Yatsushiro, no, not especially important but I run it on my server and laptops and I like it generally so I wanted to try it on a pi since I haven't previously. It was going well initially so I didn't want to give up on it at the first hiccup. As always though, you gotta pick your battles. I might go with something else in the interest of time.

Well it did finish at least building I thought, it was just some of the tests that were failing and since I haven't done it before I didn't know if some test failures were acceptable or not. It built something since several of the module failure to load errors went away after I moved the 5.30 directory into position: Before: Code: The following modules failed to load: DBI EV XML::Parser::Expat HTML::Parser JSON::XS Digest::SHA1 YAML::XS Sub::Name After: Code: The following modules failed to load: XML::Parser::Expat JSON::XS YAML::XS Sub::Name But I'm being argumentative, I understand what you are saying and agree.

I'd actually already found your posts on this! I'm contemplating what direction to go here. Just go with something that should work out of the box, or be stubborn and start again, following your guide.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Fedora 31 aarch64 on Pi 3 B+
Made great progress last night in a couple hours installing Fedora 31 aarch64 on a Pi 3 B+, did some post install config, added some extra packages, tested squeezelite with my existing LMS server and sorted out the hiss from the analog audio out, basically this stuff: Code: image write command line used: arm-image-installer --image=Fedora-Minimal-31-1.9.aarch64.raw.xz --target=rpi3 --media=/dev/mmcblk0 --selinux=OFF --resizefs systemctl disable firewalld installed cockpit, squeezelite, rpmfusion repos, pulseaudio, alsa-utils Changed /boot/efi/config.txt to fix audio hiss from analog out: was: audio_pwm_mode=0 now: audio_pwm_mode=2 I'm setting this up as a server for my brother and I left the server install for tonight, which is when everything went south. I had good luck 'following this post' (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?108945-Logitech-Media-Server-on-Fedora-27=911830=1#post911830) when I last installed LMS on my x86 Fedora server and I thought it was going to work on the pi but no, LMS doesn't start. I first had to install chkconfig to get the systemd-sysv-install command which I guess does a conversion over to a systemd unit file, anyway, it seems that perl 5.30.1 is too new so I'm currently trying to rebuild the perl modules with the buildme.sh script from the slimserver-vendor/CPAN directory. Not really sure if this is right path to go down. The build keeps failing on an include of xlocale.h in digitlst.cpp and from what I can gather, xlocale.h has been removed from Fedora for a while. I manually changed it to just locale.h and restarted build.sh then it failed again with the same error. Hmmm, I thought maybe I didn't save it so I did it again, double checked the edit, and boom failed again. So I guess that file is getting downloaded or extracted from somewhere every time and clobbering my edit. Ran: Code: watch -n 1 sed -i 's/xlocale/locale/' /root/tmp/slimserver-vendor-public-7.9/CPAN/icu/source/i18n/digitlst.cpp To update the damn file every 1 second which is just silliness but it seems to have worked and the build is still chugging away as I type this.

I installed it on my Windows LMS server and I'm now more confused. The GET url strings for the cover art coming from the clients match the case of what I'm using in the client, regardless of browser. So it looks like I'm wrong to accuse the browser of silently changing my url strings to lower case. I can still duplicate the issue with Opera though. I see the GET strings come into the server with same character case used in the client, upper or lower, but sometimes the server returns the default icon file (type PNG) and other times, at least with Opera, it returns the cover art (type JPEG). Chrome requests always result in the server returning the expected image, for all upper case MAC in the request it returns default icon (type PNG) and for lower case MAC it returns the cover art (type JPEG). There must be some cache thing or something going on that I'm not understanding. I installed the same version of Opera that I'm using on my client laptop on the LMS server and it seems to work ok which is confusing too - displaying either the default icon or the cover art depending on the case of the request string. I hate it when I get wrapped around the axle on something like this. I need to just use lower case query strings and move on! sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109772 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

I looked at this again briefly this morning because it's been bugging me a little. There's a recent similar report here: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/chrome/bjSLuj5DpE8/ONuFHk7wBwAJ My chrome was a bit out of date so I updated and that fixed the issue. I updated Opera also but it looks like it's still broken. I cleared the browser image cache and also tried holding down control while doing a page refresh but I still get the correct cover art whether I use upper of lower case characters in the player mac. For completeness, I should probably figure out if there's a logging option I can enable on LMS for these queries so I can see the actual request strings that the server sees. sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109772 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

I guess so long as the client and server are always using or converting to all lowercase then it would never be an issue. I just find it odd behavior that Chrome and Opera would both silently change a requested url to lower case when characters after the domain name portion of the url are allowed to be mixed case, and you won't get the page you are requesting if there's a mismatch. sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109772 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Case Sensitive Player MAC with wget but Not HTTP?
Thanks for the replies, I believe the browser is to blame. Chrome and Opera both retrieve the correct cover art with upper or lower case mac in the request url. I didn't think to try it last night or before posting this thread, but I just tried Internet Explorer and it works the same way as wget - upper case mac gets me a default icon and lower case mac gets me the correct cover art. So it the case of Chrome and Opera (shared code?) it looks like the browser is rewriting the requested url to all lowercase? Here's a similar question with someone complaining about his server logging hits to all lower case urls when the correct url is upper or mixed case: https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/103189/why-is-my-site-getting-requests-for-urls-converted-to-lowercase With the answer being blamed on many things, but not the browser. I haven't researched it, but if upper or mixed case urls are allowed, the browser shouldn't be rewriting request urls to lower case. It may be bad practice to use urls with upper case characters but the browser should respect the link or whatever the user types into the url bar. In this case it looks to me like LMS is operating correctly and it was Chrome and Opera that derailed me yesterday doing my testing as I didn't catch the case change between wget and the browser immediately and I couldn't figure out why wget kept pulling the wrong cover art. The mac displayed by ifconfig is all upper case, so that was the easiest thing to get and paste into the wget url. sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109772 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
