Excuse me for my ignorance , but what exactly does the "helper" do in regards to the spotty plugin? It does eg. handle authentication. Or playback.

[22-03-22 10:52:29.5264] Plugins::Spotty::Helper::get (51) Didn't find Spotty helper application! Spotty doesn't have helpers for *BSD built in. You'd have to either try to use the Spotty BSD plugin somebody is providing. But that's an outdated version of the spotty helper. Or you try to build it yourself from the source (which should be pretty straight forward, but might require installation of Rust). https://github.com/michaelherger/librespot ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] [FreeBSD/XigmaNAS/TrueNAS] LogitechMediaServer Installation
So I upgraded my spotty plugin and noticed my scan is failing during the
spotty portion of the scan? It appears as if the there is now an issue
with the Spotty Helper application? the helper does appear to be there
in the plugin section. Would you have any ideas? I may try
unchecking/rechecking the helper plugin to see if that helps.

Is it the alac_decoder tool that, in the reply from Ralphy, he says is not used? If so, maybe we should review if a fork of faad is strictly necessary if we have a stand-alone converter available for ALAC format.

The slimserver vendor repository contains all the perl modules and the
binaries.
At the moment all the perl modules in the official repository are
following the philosophy ""if it works don't touch it".
While sometimes this may work I don't really share this pov. Because
when something will start to not work anymore, since it will be severly
outdated, it will be a real pain to fix it. Due to this a made a fork
here https://github.com/simonefil/slimserver-vendor and updated pretty
much all the perl modules used by LMS (and, Q.E.D., it has been a real
pain).
In the next days I will update also the source for the binaries used,
faad2 included. (Both on github and in the FreeBSD package)
For a very quick fix while I work on the update, to be able to listen to
ALAC files you just need to edit the conver.conf files and change the
transcoding lines for ALAC in this way:
For alac -> wav
Code:
alc pcm * *
# FT:{START=-j %s}U:{END=-e %u}
[alac] $FILE$
for alac -> mp3
Code:
alc mp3 * *
# FB:{BITRATE=--abr %B}D:{RESAMPLE=--resample %D}T:{START=-j
%s}U:{END=-e %u}
[alac] $FILE$ | [lame] --silent -q $QUALITY$ $RESAMPLE$ $BITRATE$ - -
for alac -> flac
Code:
alc flc * *
# FT:{START=-j %s}U:{END=-e %u}D:{RESAMPLE=-r %d}
[alac] $FILE$ | [sox] -q -t wav - -t flac -C 0 $RESAMPLE$ -

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] [FreeBSD/XigmaNAS/TrueNAS] LogitechMediaServer Installation
Hello Simone, Thank you for the additional clarification. I am going to reach out to titou386, and see if I can get him to produce a better plug-in package for TrueNAS. I totally agree that it should not fall to you to create such a one-off. I had originally believed that titou386 had been following your build instructions to build and package logitechmediaserver. Since you say: > he seems to also take a lot of perl modules that are already included in > the LMS installation (slimserver-vendor repository) and the generic > binaries for transcoding instead of compiling them statically linked > with the options currently used for LMS. (again, available on the > slimserver-vendor repository). He must have made his own path through the maze. Am I understanding that comment and your instructions correctly if I were to say to titou386: - You need to bring in the CPAN subdirectory from https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-vendor instead of using generic Perl packages because there are dependencies that will make logitechmediaserver quit working if you update Perl. - You need to bring in, compile, and statically link particular local versions of helper utilities and libraries, also from https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-vendor. To wit: flac, faad, wavpack. The known good compile/link options can be found at https://audiodigitale.eu/?p=87 Note that your build from source instructions refer to: https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-vendor/archive/public/... There is no longer an "archive" subdirectory of slimserver-vendor, and the faad tree there has a README that sends people to https://github.com/ralph-irving/faad2 Stuff is starting to spread out, and it is a growing challenge to chase down to the correct canonical versions. Indeed, as I'm composing this reply and requesting a sanity check I see that https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-vendor contains alac_decoder, shine, and sox in addition to the trees you call for in your instructions. Do we still need the forked versions of shine and sox? Is alac_decoder deprecated in favor of the fork of faad2, or is it a stand-alone transcode utility that obviates need for the forked faad? If you can answer these questions, that would be great, but if you can't, I understand.

It will be fixed in the next update (ETA ~ before the 15th). The next one will be the upgrade from 8.1 to 8.2. - About ports: they have always been broken or severely outdated. Even when working they are still a very time consuming a fragile way to install a software. So my personal suggestion about the "current state of ports" is to just do not use them. - the FreeBSD perl5 version is not the real problem. The problem is that if the system-wide perl gets an update and LMS doesn't support it then LMS stops working. This is why to build a local version of perl to use with LMS and leave the system-wide for everything else. - I've looked on the manifest you linked me, he seems to also take a lot of perl modules that are already included in the LMS installation (slimserver-vendor repository) and the generic binaries for transcoding instead of compiling them statically linked with the options currently used for LMS. (again, available on the slimserver-vendor repository). - About working with titou386: it's up to you, I don't use FreeNAS and I won't develop custom solution for FreeNAS only https://audiodigitale.eu Simonef's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67438 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113909 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] [FreeBSD/XigmaNAS/TrueNAS] LogitechMediaServer Installation
Hello Simone, I learned from my husband what exactly was done to install LMS. He used the pre-packaged plugin with the TrueNAS 12.2 Release. I found the dev tree at the ix-plugin-hub on github. The checkin to 'Add Logitech Media Server to 12.2-RELEASE' (https://github.com/ix-plugin-hub/iocage-plugin-index/pull/212/commits/eb2cdf1e2200d47dd1420140af859eeb7d4fde6a) shows what the issue is: In logitechmediaserver.json, in the "pkgs" section, we see, "faad2" which is installing the faad2 package from the FreeBSD package repository, (which presumes the latest and greatest upstream version is canon) instead of a fork of faad2 that has the ALAC support. That manifest also seems to grab the FreeBSD Perl5 system, which has proven problematic. I see a comment of 26 March 2018 on your instructional page talking about how to lock in the known good Perl version.

Hello Simone, Thank you very much for your helpful Wiki page, 'Logitech Media Server and FreeBSD/FreeNAS' (https://audiodigitale.eu/?p=87). It enabled my husband and me to get LMS up and happy on our spanking new TrueNAS server under FreeBSD 12. Everything worked so well, I was surprised when one of my Albums simply would not play. After about half a day of reading code, searching forums, and head scratching, we discovered the root cause: The Album was encoded in Apple ALAC format. There is a transcoding rule to deal with this, which sends the m4a file through faad and then through sox to create a stream that will play. However, the instructions you provide assume installing the latest and greatest faad will do the right thing. Alas, in 2016, a critical change was made to version 2.7 of faad2 that added ALAC support. A subsequent rewrite to the upstream version of faad never took that change, and made re-integrating that change not at all obvious. To those like mherger who know LMS backwards and forwards inside and outside, it's obvous, "We have our own version of faad, and it does the right thing." Learning that from swimming around in Forums and google searches is a challenge. Indeed, one could do a different transcoding setup using ffmpeg. The downside to doing so in that way is that ffmpeg wants to bring in elephantine quantities of other libraries. So using faad and adding in support specific to ALAC makes sense. I'm coming at this from the outside, and have only a partial understanding of the milieu. However, it seems to me that we should engage certain other maintainers with the following issues: 1. Update the instructions at 'Logitech Media Server and FreeBSD/FreeNAS' (https://audiodigitale.eu/?p=87) to utilize Ralph Irving's ALAC-aware fork of faad2. 2. Reach out to the maintainers of the FreeBSD port, https://www.freshports.org/audio/logitechmediaserver/ and let them know they need to either incorporate or point to the ALAC-aware fork of faad2. 3. Review the ALAC update to faad2 and see if getting it into upstream v2.10 is feasible, sensible so we could, longer term, eliminate the LMS-specific version. This probably involves outreach to Ralph Irving and his fork at https://github.com/ralph-irving/faad2 4. Maybe begin discussing how to get an easier summary of current state of ports than "swim around half a day in google and forums.slimdevices". With the shift to community support, marking all the legacy wiki pages read only makes sense, as does the approach of keeping the forums as the basis of ground truth.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] [FreeBSD/XigmaNAS/TrueNAS] LogitechMediaServer Installation
Hi!
A while ago I've written a guide to compile and install LMS on *BSD
based systems ('here' (https://audiodigitale.eu/?p=87)).
But compiling everything for every update is quite tedious, the port of
LMS in FreeBSD is broken and not updated and there is no package
available to install.
So I decided to make an installer/update for LogitechMediaServer to make
all the procedure easy and without wasting time every time that an
update comes out.
The Perl installation is contained in LMS and separated from the system
Perl, this is necessary to avoid malfunctioning every time that the
system Perl is updated.
All the Perl modules and the binaries included are usually the latest
version, more updated than the official repository ('here'
(https://github.com/simonefil/slimserver-vendor) my fork)
To install (as root):
Code:
pkg install curl
curl -A "audiodigitale" -o /usr/local/bin/lms_installer
https://audiodigitale.eu/repo/freebsd/lms_installer
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/lms_installer
lms_installer
I usually update the installed version every time a major feature (or
fix) becomes available in the stable branch of LMS. I've been
