Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] LInux client (controller) currently maintained

Does the SqueezePlay controller have control over only the local player,
or any on the network?


SqueezePlay is the software initially created to run on 
Controller/Radio/Touch. But it's available for desktop computers, too.


As its name says it's a player. But it can also be used to control any 
other player. Its first use was in the Controller - which didn't even 
have a player built in by default.


JiveLite is a derivate of Squeezeplay, with the player part removed and 
some parts updated. It's a controller only.


The Material skin has been mentioned before. You can run it standalone, 
as outlined, too, without the browser. Very much like any app run in 
Electron (which you considered "native").

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Radio stations url source/radio-browser project

2022-10-16 Thread Honey


Thanks for reply, very informative.

The issue here in the UK is that unfortunately every app removes the
ability to listen to any radio feed outside the UK as it matures: this
is true for Tunein, myTuner, and just last week the wonderful
RadioGarden, and has successively ruined every app I've ever used in the
UK. It's a farcical situation, and I haven't got the heart to look into
it, but some legislation here clearly mandates us British people must
only listen to British radio. Ridiculous, but I'll spare my breath!

So as it stands any companion app that LMS uses will also block any
station outside the UK, or if it doesn't now, it will tomorrow. 

Radio-Browser on the other hand is of course only a directory of URLs so
breaks no regulations one assumes, and the streams are fully accessible.
My recollection of trying it some time ago was similar to yours but it's
vastly improved now: I've today compiled a list of about 200 very
eclectic stations from it and not one is problematic. They poll URLs at
least once a day to check them and updates now seem very quick. It's
also hugely comprehensive and beats any of the commercial apps for
stations by far. Aside from, the problems UK listeners face, it would
seem to me to be a vastly superior repository for PiCorePlayer radio
rather than the competing and incomplete commercial apps.

Which of course leaves the problem that no one has developed a way to
use it in LMS, as you say.

You are mostly correct, SqueezePlayer is, in fact, an Android app that
allows you to use a mobile phone as a Squeezebox player. SqueezePlay,
which I recommended (but without proper capitalization) is, as you said,
a desktop player application. I THINK (but am not certain, so I hope
more knowledgeable users will either correct or confirm what I say here)
that SqueezePlay thoroughly emulates the interface of some Squeezebox
players, including the ability to switch it to control a different
Squeezebox player on the same network.

In other words, if I am right about this, it is a player, but you do not
have to use it as a player. You may use it as a standalone controller.
You will have the overhead of having some extra components installed,
which you will not be using. But it should function exactly as you want.

There's a screenshot in the below post of the LMS material skin in a
full screen browser. Like Greg and everyone have said, this is just a
browser accessing LMS with the material skin plugin installed. There are
multiple ways to make it look like a native app rather than a browser:

I can read this 2 ways. :)

LMS GUI refers to the web page(s) that are served by LMS. There is a
little web server built into LMS. Any computer with a browser can access
it.

The most significant point is the "material" skin plugin. It's a vast
improvement over the standard skin. It is maintained almost daily. I
think it is fair to say that "material" is taking over from the numerous
apps that have been developed for numerous OSes.

It certainly is confusing that the one build of Jivelite shown on the

The Material Skin is excellent, can be made to "look and feel" just like
a native Linux app easily enough.  I use it on my ChromeBox and on my
iPhone most every day to control any/all of my squeezelite endpoints.  I
don't really see a need for a native app, at all.  YMMV.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] LInux client (controller) currently maintained

2022-10-16 Thread Greg Erskine


hi brainchild,

Like Ronnie, I am a bit slow as well.

As Squeeze/LMS is a very mature product it has hundreds (thousands?) of
options, with lots of confusing names. LMS has had 3 or 4 different
names. 

For control on any computer with a browser I would use the LMS GUI with
the "material" skin plugin.

Jivelite on all the devices I use, can control any player on the
network, not just the one it is loaded on.

Generally, whatever you can think of has probably been done, and
probably over 10 years ago.

regards
Greg

What I have come to understand is that Jivelite is targeted for a player

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Radio stations url source/radio-browser project

2022-10-16 Thread bpa


The radio station search provided by default within LMS is proided by
Tune-in (www.tunein.com).  It is a commercial service.

Many stations are listed by aggregators which have a commercial
arrangement with the stations.
There are a number of 3rd party plugins which, when installed,  provides
access to radio stataions - Plugins such as iHeartRadio, RadioNet,
Global Player, Radio France, Virgin Radio, UK radio Player..
There is an app UK & Ireland Radio feeds (use mysqueezebox,com) to
access "UK Radiofeeds lists.

Re radio-browser - the same question has been asked many time on the
forum but it seems nobody has felt the need to develop a plugin.
In the past I checked out radio-browser and thought the quality of the
contents a bit of hit amd miss - many station are badly classified or
URL is out of date.

Stations URLs often change, so using an "official" aggregator as source
often ensures playability.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Radio stations url source/radio-browser project

2022-10-16 Thread Honey

I’m having trouble finding many of the radio stations I enjoy in
PiCorePlayer. Where does it cut its source of URL – radio station
matchings from? Is it a database which it would be possible to update
ourselves? I’m not suggesting we all keep our individual list of URLs
which can get very tiresome when you are interested in hundreds of
stations. I’m asking if there’s a central resource we can update
together.

It seems to me that it would be sensible to use the public domain
RadioBrowser database https://www.radio-browser.info/ - it’s widely used
by other apps, very comprehensive, fully free in all senses and you can
even add your own stations. This also has a very significant advantage,
particularly in the UK where they blindly block access to all
international radio station through conventional apps.

Yes, I found the download location on SourceForge.

There is one file for download in the Linux folder. It is called
`jivelite-0.1-20170220gitde9ea58-fbdev-armv6hf.tar.gz`, indicating that
it is target for devices of Arm architecture, which excludes personal
computers such as my laptop.

The first line of the -readme- file is as follows:

It appears that Jivelite is intended to add functionality on the player
device. I am not understanding how it might help to provide controller
functionality through a standalone application (e.g. not web site)
running on my Linux laptop.

Note though - you will not get DAB radio.
However, it is very likely that any station that you want to listen to
on DAB also has an internet radio stream that you will probably be able
to play.

I believe what you are describing is largely the same as I have done in
the past for some applications using the Webapp Manager, available in
Linux Mint. However, a native application (even one based on Electron or
Flutter) is preferred when available. It seems Logitech had supported
only Windows and MacOS officially for desktop front ends. I wondered
whether any projects were actively maintained by the community to extend
such support to Linux users.

Jivelite runs on a player device.

LMS with the UPnP Bridge.  Any Sonos device will show up as a UPnP
renderer.  piCorePlayer may be the simplest way to set up LMS.  Jivelite
will provide the touchscreen capability.

2022-10-16 Thread orangepower


Hi

Dont know If I`m aksing this in right forum, so please move it if it is
not ok.

I have Ikea Synfonisk speaker and I want something other then phone or
tablet to control it.
Also I have RPI 3B with 7" touch display.
How can I use RPI+touchscreen for controling Sonos speaker?
I want to listen internet radio, DAB radio and tidal or Spotify and
youtube.

Is there a way to get it working?

Thank you for advice!

[SlimDevices: Unix] Fancied a change so moved server to spare Pi2 powered by router

2022-10-16 Thread Eyerex


For years i had everything plugged in and running from a single Pi which
worked great but the other week i moved hard drive to router which was
then shared to the main Pi which then shared music to other players but
the other day i fancied a change so setup a Pi2 to run headless as just
a LMS server to the other players

As Pi2 doesn't need to use as much power as say a Pi3 or 4 it's powered
from the USB on my Netgear r7800 running OpenWRT and so far it's working
great and it's handy that i don't need to have my main Pi3 on which is
plugged into Hi-Fi on so other players can access music library 

testing until i have a tidy up with leads ps i hate that Netgear put USB
sockets on the side :mad:

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] LInux client (controller) currently maintained

2022-10-16 Thread cpd73


I know you seem to be explicitly asking for a native app, but I use
Material Skin as a web-app on my KDE/Plasma desktop. I've written a
(very) simple QWebEngine wrapper app that I use. (Previously used Chrome
but this keeps breaking). To use this integrated into Plasma's
taskbar/kickoff you just need a simple .desktop file - I have
/usr/local/share/applications/LMS.desktop with:


Code:


  [Desktop Entry]
  Version=1.0
  Name=LMS
  Comment=Logitech Media Server
  Exec=/usr/local/bin/qwebappwrapper --dark --qwindowtitle LMS --qwindowicon 
/usr/local/share/qwebappwrapper/icons/lms.svg --appname LMS 
http://pi4:9000/material/?altBtnLayout=true
  Terminal=false
  Type=Application
  Icon=/usr/local/share/qwebappwrapper/icons/lms.svg
  StartupWMClass=LMS
  StartupNotify=true
  



This qwebappwrapper then allows me to wrap other sites. I am, however,
considering on writing an LMS-specific version of this. This specific
version would then auto-discover LMS, have native MPRIS controls, and
perhaps even start/stop squeezelite. But for now this simple wrapper
works well enough for me.

The wrapper can either be built as a normal binary (so will need Qt dev
headers installed), or run from python. See
https://github.com/CDrummond/qwebappwrapper for more info.



*Material debug:* 1. Launch via http: //SERVER:9000/material/?debug=json
(Use http: //SERVER:9000/material/?debug=json,cometd to also see update
messages, e.g. play queue) 2. Open browser's developer tools 3. Open
console tab in developer tools 4. REQ/RESP messages sent to/from LMS
will be logged here.

I bought a Waveshare 1280x400 LCD screen from amazon and tried to set it
up
with Raspberry Pi4 4GB and the newest picoreplayer image.
I can watch booting process and managed the calibration of the screen,
but i was
never able to choose a skin because after booting and show up splash
screen, the
screen goes black. After this i cannot reboot or shutdown picoreplayer.
Do you have any ideas?

Thank you in advance for your help
