[SlimDevices: Touch] tiny sc and plugins?
Forgive me for asking a question that must be answered already (although simple searching didn't reveal it). The wiki seems a little dated, too. Can the latest version of tiny sc support plugins? In particular, I'd love to run bpa's NPR plugin without a full LMS running. I've got three SB3s, two radios, and a duet ... understand the touch only has enough throughput to run one or two boxes at a time, but the chance to buy one is rapidly coming to an end.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] tiny sc and plugins?
The forums' search function is less than optimal, but this has been discussed at length previously. The short answer is no, the Touch's built-in server (aka TinySC or TinyLMS) does not support plugins. A more precise answer is that it can run some plugins if you are able to install them manually. Other plugins won't run at all. I don't know which category the NPR plugin belongs in. I'm not sure about the accuracy of the Touch's built-in server only having enough "throughput" to support one or two boxes. I doubt that's a blanket rule, and expect that it depends on things like codec, sync'd vs. unsync'd streams, and so forth. aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96734 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

[SlimDevices: Touch] Constantly losing TOUCH
Hi This appears now to be a nightly problem. I have a TOUCH and two SB radios. Almost everyday I see the message that there has been a problem connecting to (USB). The only solution is to reboot. The radios show a red WiFi symbol and also refuse to re-connect. There appears to be nothing wrong with the WiFi or the Internet connection. All devices are using the latest firmware. Changing the music disk from a USB stick to a previously fine drive also has the same symptoms. This system has worked without flaw for the last two years and as FAIK, nothing has changes. Any suggestions appreciated.

pippin wrote: > Does it use so much memory? It may not a lot of memory but IIRC memory is quite scarce when running tinysc especially as a user may have a reasonable no of music files and so may have less leeway. I don't what amount of memory is critical but depending on what the user is playing there is potential for more memory to be used. The plugin pulls down web pages most come from a "thin" interface which is minimal but some other other menus (e.g. American Routes) have quite large web pages and then these pages are parsed and then the program playlist pages need to be pulled down and parsed. If a user goes down a "NPR program" hierarchy going back to old programs - all the old pages are kept in memory. wuffles wrote: > > bpa: whether the correct libraries are there or not, *THANKS for writing > the npr plugin.* obviously, you don't have a local npr station, but even > for those of us that do, its very nice to catch shows we missed the > first time around.

I used to do lot of work in the US and got used to listening to NPR and it was good for getting a US view of US issues (as opposed to an Irish/British) which is essential when doing business in the US.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Now that I found MOG.....I hardly need my music library anymore....MOG saves $$$$$$
I pay $5 a month for MOG and have over 1 Million Albums at my disposal. You can play Albums just as easy from their libraries as you can from your own. Similar to Pandora except you control the music. Play what you what, unlimited skipping etc. Artist Radio. But the best thing is it is a much higher quality. 320 kbps. About 95% of the albums that I want to play, I can find on MOG. So, I used to spend about $300-$400 a year on new music. Now I spend $60 and have more than ever.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Constantly losing TOUCH
First I'd like to make it clear in my own mind what your setup looks like, it sounds like you have a Touch, running TinyLMS with a USB stick containing the music library. The Radios connect to the TinyLMS on the Touch via Wifi. Is the Touch the only LMS? It sounds like the problem is the Radios not being able to connect to the TinyLMS on the Touch, correct? When this happens, can the Touch still play music? If the Touch can still play music then Tiny LMS is still running, and the problem is most likely a network issue. I can think of two probable causes, one is just wifi connectivity issues, but that would tend to not be exactly the same for the two Radios (unless they are right next to each other). The other is DHCP issues. I've seen this before, the devices all get leases from the DHCP server when they boot and everything is fine, but then some hours later the leases expire and they don't get renewed, thus the router won't talk to them. Two common reasons for this are a router that has been on for a long time (for some reason some DHCP servers seem to get slower and slower the longer the router is on) and interference on the wifi link can cause the DHCP server to time out. The first thing to try is to reboot the network: modem, router, switches, WAPs etc. This frequently will fix the problem. If it doesn't, try temporarily connecting a Radio to the network with a wire and see if the problem persists. If neither of those helps then it's going to take some more serious debugging. John S.

I really like my MOG too. Great for trying things out, listening to things that I don't have a strong desire to own, or listening to LOTS of stuff when I'm away from home and only have my iphone or ipad. But over the relatively short time I've used MOG, I've noticed that some things never show up there (that I'm interested in) and probably worse, some things do show up, I can play for a while and then a month later, they are no longer on MOG at all. Again, great service, but it wouldn't take the place (for me) of owning the music I really want to have as part of my permanent collection. garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96737 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

But in another year,who knows if mysqueezebox will even be functional. Maybe a plugin like Triode's Spotify plugin can be developed . I'd be happy to pay for it. I have zero confidence in Logitech maintaining mysqueezebox . Live Music Archive hasn't been functional for how long?

[SlimDevices: Touch] Trouble switching mysqueezebox and library
Hi everyone! This is my for post after having spent a good bit of time here reading up on the LST. I've been having some trouble after setting up my Touch after a recent move, and I couldn't find a thread that dealt with exactly my problem, so here goes: In the morning, I use the Touch to listen to internet radio, and it connects just fine. I power it off before going to work, and in the evenings, I use the Touch to play music on my computer. When I power up the Touch, it will see the library on my Macbook, but when I make a selection and press play, the selection will correctly appear and the play timer will begin moving, but there is no sound. The only thing that fixes it is turning the Touch off and back on. At that point the selection is still showing and it plays just fine. it's not a huge problem, but it is annoying. I poked around a bit on the LMS settings, and on the setting on the Touch unit itself, but I don't really know what to look for. All of the software is up do date. Possibly related to this is that I will occasionally see my Touch connecting to mysqueezebox on its own, even when the power is off. Is this normal? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

A great adjunct to my own music library (which is much smaller than garym's), but not really a substitute. The gaps in the MOG library and the now-we-have-it-now-we-don't thing are still sticking points, as are the occasional glitches when it won't play correctly, such as not playing all the way through an album. But for music discovery, or grabbing random tracks and albums that I don't have, or giving albums a good listening before buying the CD or FLAC download, it's well worth the $5/month. aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96737 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Trouble switching mysqueezebox and library
I'm using a Mac, but I think I follow you. When I go into the account section of LMS, there is the option to verify password. Is this what you mean? If so, when I select the verify option, nothing happens (the field is filled with dots all the way across), but when I manually enter the password and hit the verify button, then I get a confirmation. Once I did this, I did a quick test, and was able to use internet radio, power off/on, access the library and get audio. I'll try again tomorrow to see if the problem comes back. I just saw that when I went back to the account tab in LMS the password field was reset, and it behaved as before (i.e., I had to manually re-enter the password before getting verification). Could this be the problem?
