I enjoyed remembering the old days and hearing similar experiences of
the "technology breakthroughs" of the 80's.

Back to my OP, got it, thank you. I thought Python, but appreciate the
confirmation and the suggestion of Perl. I wanted to avoid effort down
the wrong path. For example, back in the day, I would hate to have
mastered pascal when everyone/every platform was using C.

Agree with searching for and borrowing the code snipits.

We might have to start an off-topic reminisces thread ...

We also built some kit to do UK telex (I remember a Dowty SCVF modem
being on one board and our stuff on an adjacent one) ... around 6 lines
per 3U high rack mounted box). BABT brought 2 huge cases of kit to our
office to do the "type approval" testing. Took 2 attempts to pass
because we were a few milliseconds out in one of the actions.

I wrote thousands of lines of code for those systems - in Coral-66 and
Macro-11. I wrote my last code for that system in 1992 although I had
finished serious development work around 1988 I think.

Telex and leased lines were dying out but we saw the future and built
store-and-forward fax ... and we (but not me) built (on VAX in C/C++) an
X.400 system ... a technology that ended up being comprehensively
defeated by SMTP (but that is another story).

So back to OP ... old timers who wrote code in ancient languages will
probably find it easy enough to use one of the modern scripting
languages even if many of the features are not fully understood.
Finding small bits of sample code or something that does much of what
you want makes it much easier. "Ego-less programming" as one of my old
lecturers used to call it.

At college (EE) we had a VAX 11/780 with 4MB of RAM. I remember when it
was upgraded to 8MB and student users got bumped from 1200 baud VT100s
to 9600. Started out in DEC Basic, Fortran and Pascal. After getting my
first Squeezeboxes in 2008 I decided to learn a 'modern' language like
Perl. When Alexa came out I decided in 2018 to learn Python and nodejs.

To the OP's original question, if you can code then you can code in any

be in Python and node (Javascript).

IATA messages ... although most of our systems were in places that used

I think that the only one that we did that was airline related was for
Iceland Air Traffic Control.
Surprisingly busy because of all of the routing over the north pole -
they had control of flights over the airspace and there were a lot.
I was sent over there once to resolve an issue (successfully) and spent
a few days in Icelandic winter with not a lot to do.
I remember that the hotel had a swimming pool in the basement that was

Many things from that period are etched into my mind.

During acceptance testing they would come into the room with a cardboard

I am an EE but also got a CS degree later, so allot of language
exposure. Your comment on punch cards made me laugh. My first
programming experience was assembly on a DEC PDP-11 (tape?), and,
Fortran I think on a Cyber computer using punch cards. We were advised
to carry our "program" around in a plastic bag tied with a rubber band
in case we dropped it in a puddle. I have dim memories of dropping and
having to reorder my stack once. :o

Thanks all for the tips on getting started.

I am not aware of a stable tag in the Docker world, only latest is 
common. And using the latest tag is bad practice..., better is always to 
use tags that represent real versions like 8.1, 8.00, thats the way we 
do it at work.


However, if the latest tag should be used, the tag should point to 
version 8.0 because it is the current stable release. If anyone likes to 
use 8.1 nightlys he / she should specify the 8.1 tag explicitely.

Hi Michael,

It's Intel based. LMS reported that LAME was not installed correctly
until I copied a version pulled out of a Synology / pinkdot version of
LMS.
Did you add LAME to all versions? I started with 8.0.0 (which reported
no LAME so I added it manually) but I am trying the 8.1.0 build right
now.

Thanks,

HB

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] 'Official' docker container for LMS?

2020-12-16 Thread Rainer Krug
Stable is the default tag, when nothing else is specified - in any commands. So 
I would suggest to point it to the last ‘stable' released version - so ’stable’ 
- the nightly?

Referring to the nightly releases as “stable” might be confusing to new users. 
I use always the nightly and had no problems, but nightly releases ar not 
usually that stable…

Cheers,

Rainer

OK - Point one is that the default tag is `latest`, which apparently 
does not exist. The same problem comes into running the image with the 
run command. When adding e.g `8.1.0-dev` as the tag, it works.


Oh... is "latest" a tag which is expected to exist? I removed it 
recently because 8.0.1 would use it as well as 8.1.0, which made it 
useless. I'll have to fix that.


What would you expect it to be? I recently started to refer to

release: 8.0.0
stable: 8.0.1 nightly
dev: 8.1.0

Maybe I should use a similar schema here? But what would latest be then?

But there is still the problem with the `timezone`.

There's no right or wrong :-). But no, that one's the "official" one. 
Did it not find lame without you adding it? I thought I added it on a 
user's request, and that user didn't complain after the addition :-).

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Memory Leak in Perl Engine on piCorePlayer?

2020-12-16 Thread Michael Herger

That's interesting.  I used to find that I'd get stuttering with older
hardware players with flac, due I think to tidal flac being highly
compressed.  So, I have a flac to flac re-encode with -1 to make it less
hard work for my boom and transporter.  Does your comment mean that I
don't need that with 8.0.1?


It will be in the upcoming 8.1.0, not 8.0.1.

Or install a nightly if you want to give it a try:

http://downloads-origin.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=8.1.

Would be great to see it tested!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Memory Leak in Perl Engine on piCorePlayer?

2020-12-16 Thread Michael Herger

The fix is now in the 8.1 branch.


I wondered if this was going to make its way into the 8.01 branch as
well in a while.  I'd rather avoid running the dev branch on my main
system, particularly at this time of year when it seems to be running
pretty much full time.


And I prefer to have slightly hard to understand changes in the dev 
branch as 8.0.1 is considered stable :-).


I thought 8.0.0 might become the shortest lived release ever... a week 
or two ago. With the addition of Deezer lossless and some of these 
transcoding improvements I hoped to get 8.1.0 out soon.

Hi Michael

I think it may need to be "tested" and also consider conditions where
fix may be invoked to see could there be side effects before releasing
on the general population.

LMS would transcode HTTP/AAC only for internet streams - so no EOF.

For MPEG4/AAC no standard LMS for streams.  To trasncode MPEG-4
podcasts/streams probably used ffmpeg with input from $URL$ not stdin.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Memory Leak in Perl Engine on piCorePlayer?

2020-12-16 Thread Michael Herger

Looking at the code fix and as it is so "central" - why was it not
prevalent before now and can it explain any other "bugs" with streaming
services.


I'm not sure we did a lot of (or any at all!) transcoding single tracks 
from online sources in the past. AAC transcoding was added in 8.0, 
wasn't available before. FLAC would play without transcoding - until we 
introduced transparent transcoding for TIDAL(?) to work around the 
stuttering reported before LMS 8. But yes, it was surprising me to that 
you were able to fix an issue which must have been around for more than 
a decade!



The code path with EOF would only have happened with a file and maybe
the file handle closed with delete.
EOF on internet stream was probably rare as they were typically "radio"
and infinite.


Yep. And before LMS8 we would not transcode AAC, would we?


EOF occur normally and frequently with "track" based streaming.
Are there other AAC/hi-res "track" based services where this could also
happened with any odd behaviour - Rhapsody, RP ...


Rhapsody, yes. But it's probably even more niche than TIDAL.

mvordeme's persistence  "a voice in the wilderness"  and narrowing
problem down to network was essential.
