Squeezebox Radio and Google WiFi Mesh dropping connection

Anyone with a Google WiFi having issues with Squeezebox Radio dropping the WiFi Connections?
(My Squeezebox Touch is working ok)

Everything was fine until a few days ago. I can connect to the Network, but it will later drop connection and not auto-connect when the Radio is turned on.

Google did a firmware update a week or so ago to the Google WiFi mesh, and the notes say that it “fixed an issue discovery of certain devices that use SSDP”

Tried rebooting WiFi and a factory reset of the SB Radio and Google WiFi, no luck.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Installation/upgrade problem 7.9.3

UPDATE: I am dumb. I downloaded the i386 version and not the amd64 version. I'm all set, really. Nothing to see here.


Hi, I have been running 7.9.2 on my Ubuntu 18.04.03 LTS system since February, and it has been working great.

I originally installed it from the nightly build package using apt.

Today I downloaded the nightly build for 7.9.3 and first tried installing/upgrading it with dpkg -i logitechmediaserver_7.9.3_1591161343_i386.deb

There were messages about changing the ownership of the files in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/ from group slim to group nogroup.

The server would not run at that point. /var/log/squeezeboxserver/server.log updated every five seconds with the message:

2020-06-30 09:36:35 Logitech Media Server died. Restarting.

[blah blah blah]

Update: I am dumb. I downloaded the i386 version and not the amd64 version. I'm all set, really.

I recently had a C: drive go boobs up on me. Reinstalled everything including LMS. I cannot find the "Remove Played Songs" plugin. The repository at http://www.koldware.net/SlimStuff/repodata.xml gives a 404 error. Anyone know where I can get this plugin? I actually thought it was a standard LMS plugin.

Best way to powerdown Allo player

Hello,

I just installed an Allo Digione signature player with Picoreplayer. (And upgrade my first system with that soft too : Rpi4 + Hiffiberry Dac + Pro XLR).

The main player (RPi3B+ with Allo DOS) is server (LMS) and player (Squeezelite). The PSU for this unit is the double power Shanti by Allo.

With PcP is V6.1.0, I see there is no problem to shut down Squeezelite directly, but it seem dangerous to power down LMS.

How do you shutdown the Allo digione signature player ?

Thans for your help

Is it possible somehow to use square brackts in custom-convert-conf?

The transcoding helper framework considers strings in square brackets
helper applications, thus tries to find them on your system and
substitute them in the define command line.

You might have more luck writing a script with all the commands and only
refer the script name in the conversion rule set.

You've enabled logging for some categories with the "keep settings on

"Weird" LMS / / Touch / network / router problems

July 3, 2020, 5:19 am

Been stuck on an annoying problem. I'm planning moving from Win LMS to Linux based LMS. For now I'm using a Rpi 3B which I installed DietPi (Debian based distro) on. Also managed to install LMS. Now stuck on having this weird problem that seemingly I can't solve. Have a mixed setup of HW and SW players, HW is two Touch and also have one SQB radio. Problem is that I can't get the the HW players connect to the DietPi LMS. It's completely weird! Was for a while thinking it must be a firewall that causing problems but from what I understand this can't be the case since the SW players connects with ease. Both Squeezelite and Squeezeplayer, no problemas. HW player no way. Can't for my life figure out what's going on here! After a while I even installed a DietPi VM with LMS but still same problem.

Hmm while writing I get an idea ... Ok just tested connect one Touch with LAN instead of the WiFi and out of the blue I'm able to see and connect to the Linux LMS! Sorry for a bit incoherent order here now in the post ...
Ok so that was good! But still I'm very, very confused what could be the problem?! If it's only one problem that is? A combination of router/player? When I use WiFi on the HW players then there's no problem connecting to my Windows LMS (wired PC). But as said no way it works with Linux LMS. The router is an Asus RT-AC56U with the latest official FW. I'm thinking more and more that it might be the Asus that's causing the problem? I kind of vaguely remembering other occasions with different HW that when having a dual band router sometimes two clients having problem seeing each other. Anyone else had similar problems?

Stereo to dual mono

I know that we can set things up so that a player receives the stereo, or left or right signal ... but I have what I assume is an unusual request ... send the L+R to each of the left and right.
I expect that there is an ALSA way of doing it for a device that gives access but could there be an LMS way?

I ask because I have a pair of outdoor speakers that connect via RF to a base station which takes it source from a 3.5mm jack that is plugged into a player (a Joggler running Jive in this case).
The 2 outdoor speakers in the garden are not necessarily within earshot at the same time so having them both play the same stereo->mono signal would probably sound best.

If it helps it could be via a Group player.

I guess I could do it with a stereo to mono jack adapter but a software solution would be great.

You seem to be using a Radio with an outdated firmware….

I guess I need to figure out a way to log what player is not reporting
the patch.

But if you went to Settings/Advanced/Info on the player, would it say
something about patches? Or do you have multiple Radios in your home?

jivelite: request comment tag for current track

July 6, 2020, 11:00 am

Hello.

I'm trying to customize the jivelite NowPlaying applet/screen.

I have 2 questions I can't seem to solve on my own and I'm hoping you can help me with:

#1
If I understand the code of the NowPlaying applet correctly, it usually only gets information like the track name, (album)artist, album title, elapsed/remaining time and X of Y (of the current player playlist).

How can I make jivelite request the comment tag value of the current track? It's in the LMS database but I don't know how to query that in lua.

#2
I've also tried to make the NowPlaying applet load custom title formats used/broadcast by Erland's CustomClockHelper plugin.

It works but it always shows the value of the previous track, not the current one. I guess it takes a while before the result comes in from Erland's CustomClockHelper plugin and by then the NowPlaying applet has already initialized the screen - with the old value.
Is there a way to make the applet refresh the value as soon as the result from the updatecustomtitleformats function is available?
- Or maybe I missed a place/function in the NowPlaying applet where I need to call the updatefunction or its result (again)?

Please, if you feel you know where my mistake is please let me know. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Best rgards,

A.

piCorePlayer - LMS - HiFiBerry not streaming

piCorePlayer version: 6.0.0 with Squeezelite version and license: 1.9.7-1256-pCP and Logitech Media Server Version: 8.0.0. I have 2 Raspberry Pi 4 with HiFiBerry DAC+ADC Pro on both. One has the Amp on it (Cottage), the other is running LMS (Kitchen) with an external Amp. I can play music from my main LMS Music Server on a different computer to the 'Cottage' no problem. However I cannot stream from the LMS in the Kitchen to the Cottage.
I have tested the cables and all are OK.
The Squeezelite settings on both are as follows:
Code:
Output Settings: hw:CARD=sndrpihifiberry,DEV=0
Buffer Size Settings: 176400:176400
On the LMS Server the Tweaks Tab I have the default settings, but the Audio Tweaks is as follows:
Code:
Squeezelite Yes
Shairport-sync No
ALSA 10 band Equalizer No       
Streamer for Audio Input Yes Streamer installed. Basic url: http://10.6.77.96:9100/S16_LE/44100/2/F
Input Device hw:CARD=sndrpihifiberry,DEV=0
Now in the Kitchen LMS Server Settings I have a favourites set up with the URL as
Code:
http://10.6.77.96:9100/S16_LE/44100/2/F
I have tested another URL from the web which works fine, so why does this not work. Is it to do with the FLAC setting in the URL?
Help would be appreciated

How to get older plugins (i.e. for LMS 7.9) to install on LMS 8?

I am migrating my LMS Server from my trusty old Atom based Joggler to a Raspi4 (boy what a speed improvment!) and while doing that I upgrade also to LMS 8.
However, 2 plugins I can not install teh std. way, as they don't show up in LMS 8 (probably in the repository it says max Version = 7.9)

-> Is there anyway to install these - without downgrade to 7.9 1st and then upgrade again to 8?

I tried to copy the plugins from my old system from this location: /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins
and the respective pref fiels from here: /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs/plugin

But if I do that the system thinks there is a newer version available and constantly asks for update & reboot.
Is there anyway to fix that?

Thanks for your help.


P.S. I you experience some sluggishness in your LMS setup, I can really recommend an upgrade.
(Although LMS on my old system only used a few % CPU while playing music, it must have some really high peak CPU use when searching in Spotty or in Podcast Lists. That REALLY improved with the Pi)

TuneIn plugin

I seem to remember a TuneIn plugin used to be available to allow access to Radio if mysqueezebox.com ever disappeared. I did a fresh install of LMS on Windows 10 and TuneIn Radio does not appear under My Apps until I input my mysqueezebox.com credentials. I am sure the TuneIn app used to be an LMS plugin. Am I imagining things? A replacement for mysqueezebox only being available via mysqueezebox doesn't make sense.
