[ANNOUNCE] Squeezeslave: 1.2 released

[bidule]

Hello,

I have different sound card (ASIO) that have multiple ouput.
Is there a way to specify the right ouput channels ?

For example, Juli@ has 4 channels, by default SqueezeSlave sends the
sound to Channels 1&2 (Analogue),, my concern is that I want to use the
Digital SPDIF output, channels 3&4.

Am I missing some setting or is there a way to adress my wish.

Thank you for your work,
Best regards,
Jean

Try this 'ZONES enabled build'
(http://squeezeslave.googlecode.com/files/squeezeslave-1.2L-320-win.zip).

You'll need to add -z1/2 to your command line. It should create a new
player unless you have already added -m.

This features was provided by odedn. See this 'post'
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=658506&postcount=242) for
details.

If you get the error 'Invalid number of channels', then you'll need to
adjust the -z option. Also don't forget to select the asio device on
the command line.

Hello Ralphy,

In my process to improve sound quality i'm killing eveything not needed
for SqueezeSlave.

My computer is running Window XP Pro SP3 with 2 services and only 4
process, around 50 threads !
Now I'm looking in killing unnecessary threads.
In SqueezeSlave (the modified version for channel selection), as it is
a general driver (Direct Sound, ASIO, Wasapi,..) it includes
unnecessary threads (for me). With Process Explorer.exe I can manually
kill dsound.dll & wdmaud.drv but I didn't find a way to automate their
death.
Would you mind giving me the procedure to build Squeezeslave-Asio with
the channel selection feature ?

Best Regards,
Jean

Happy you figured it out and that the ZONES feature works with ASIO.

To enable the ZONES feature you need to add -DZONES to the CFLAGS= line
in the makefile.

There are build instructions on the wiki (see my sig), however they are
out of date for v1.2 as the windows binary now supports all 3 audio
drivers and more out of date for trunk.

I plan to enable ZONES in trunk soon. As it's a fairly new feature I
wasn't comfortable enabling it for the v1.2 release.

I've had confirmed reports of the zones feature working with linux alsa
and asio.

What OS and audio api?

Did you read the usage post I linked to above?

Hey! Thanks for making and updating Squeezeslave (that goes to everyone
involved).

I have one problem with Squeezeslave, one which I've had for many
years, and thus spanning many versions of Squeezeslave and
Logisqueezeboxmediacenterserver. The problem is: Squeezeslave becomes
unresponsive to playback and control after being left dormant for a
while. Typically if left unused for some hours, certainly almost always
when left unused overnight, nothing will play. Sometimes the server will
list the squeezeslave player (but it won't play), other times it will be
gone from the list of players (I'm not sure about any pattern here). The
programme process is still alive on my computer, but I have to kill it
and restart. Then playback will start immediately.

Current system:

Linux 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have a couple things for you to try.

1. Remove -DUSE_SIGNALS_FOR_RESTART from the CFLAGS in
makefile.linux26-i64-alsa-display and rebuild


Code:
--------------------
make -f makefile.linux26-i64-alsa-display clean
make -f makefile.linux26-i64-alsa-display
--------------------


2. Run squeezeslave, any build, adding -dslimproto to your existing
command line. Report the line that starts with proto_sigpipe:

Mine looks like

Code:
--------------------
proto_sigpipe: MSG_NOSIGNAL
--------------------


I expect yours to be different.

I'll have further suggestions based on the reported MSG.

I woke up this morning and the running Squeezeslave responded nicely
when I pressed play, so this might have worked. Thanks!

(If it turns out it didn't work, I'll come back :-) )

I spoke too soon. It didn't work. Squeezeslave kept turning up dead
after not being used for a couple of hours. I sort of fixed it by making
a cronjob that every hour kills and restarts squeezeslave unless it's
currently playing a song. This "solution" works well enough, so I
haven't bothered looking into it any further.


Code:
--------------------

#!/bin/bash

if [ ! -z `echo -e '00%3A00%3A00%3A00%3A00%3A01 status 0 1 tags'"\nexit"|nc -w1 localhost 9090 |grep 'mode%3Aplay'` ];then
echo "Squeezeslave is playing, not restarting it"
else
echo "Restarting squeezeslave"
killall squeezeslave
squeezeslave &
fi

hi ralphy,

i'm having exactly the same issue as described before, over multiple
versions of everything. i compiled like you said, and i get the same
MSG_NOSIGNAL on the debug of slimproto. what information can i provide
about my build that might help you troubleshoot?

i'm using the latest sources, but this issue has been consistent,
exactly as described by the other fella.

Attached is a proposed configuration script to allow one to run
squeezeslave as a service on Ubuntu / Debian. The script attempts to
automatically:


- create a random fake mac address for the squeezeslave instance
- figure out the correct output audio device
- figure out the ip address of the target lms
- writes the above to a configuration file at
/etc/default/squeezeslave
- creates a /etc/init.d/squeezeslave service script
- creates the service control links via update.rc.d


Requirements:

squeezeslave binary somewhere in the path (e.g. /usr/sbin/squeezeslave)
update.rc.d

Once run, you'll be able to start and run squeezeslave in the background
via:

# sudo service squeezeslave start

..and stop it via

# sudo service squeezeslave stop

Details of the service and the squeezeslave instance can be controlled
by editing the /etc/default/squeezeslave config file.

Enjoy.

hi again, some progress to report. i still have the ACL888 card split
into 4 stereo pairs, and was still experiencing the stalling issue until
last week. i compiled again from the newest trunk, made no modifications
to the makefile, copied the bin over, and restarted my slaves. that was
6 days ago, and the slaves have never stopped responding to play
requests, even when a playlist ends and isn't stopped (which is what was
happening previously). so, at the moment, i don't have amplifiers or
speakers hooked up to the other stereo pairs, but i'm going to assume
they're ok now too. to summarize, i now have a squeezeslave attached to
my kitchen speakers which has been functioning correctly for nearly a
week, at time of writing :D

i'm not sure what changed internally in the code between the two
versions, but everything seems to be ok now for me, so i'm happy.

thanks again for the brilliant little daemon, ralphy.

Losing audio completing is almost always an issue with the ALSA driver.
I noticed your dmix sample rate is not 44100 and squeezeslave only
supports that rate. This may also be contributing to the loss of
audio.

Squeezeslave does not officially support syncing with other players,
there are too many variables in "PC" hardware. I've made a "best
effort" in the code to facilitate it, but it either works or it doesn't.

When the squeezeplaying hangs, I could still play stuff directly with
"aplay" and the same ALSA-destination used in squeezeslave.

This is related to the used hardware, the USB-amps just accept this
rate...

aplay doesn't manipulate the ALSA driver like portaudio does, so this is
not a fair test.

Have you modified squeezeslave to open the device at the 46875 sample
rate? That's more than the 1% currently defined.

Have you built squeezeslave from the latest trunk on the hardware you're
using? If not, I'd suggest starting there. Also search all the past
squeezeslave release support threads as this has been discussed at
length in the past.

Searched the settings of squeezeslave but didn't found any option which

Portaudio is a cross platform API for playing and recording audio.

It's not an easy task. squeezeslave is mostly hard coded to use 44100.

Great! It's best to build for your OS. See how it works and report back

White noise is usually due to using the wrong byte ordering.

In your makefile if you have -D__BIG_ENDIAN__ on the CFLAGS line remove
it and then run make -f makefile realclean before rebuilding.
If you don't have -D__BIG_ENDIAN__ then add it and run make realclean
and then rebuild

Hi Ralphy

Thank you very much for the Squeezeslave, it is working very well for
me, and it even can be synchronised with My Duet and Radio. All my local
music files are playing fine and most of the radio stations. But it
seems like all my Danish Radio stations can't play via Squeezeslave.

Here is the link that I use for one of the stations:
http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s24861&formats=aac,ogg,mp3,wmpro,wma,wmvoice,real&partnerId=16&serial=d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
It can be played fine in the Radio and the Duet, but not in
Squeezeslave.

I have tried on two different computers with Squeezeslave installed
(with a Debian linux and the other with TinyCore linux). Squeezeslave is
version: squeezeslave-1.2-311

What can I do?

What version of OSX are you running?

There's no 64-bit powerpc support in the universal binary.

It's been on my TODO list for a while, you're the first to actually ask
for it.

I'll see if I can build a ppc64 stand alone for you to try first.

Check back in a few days.

I was way off on this one.

The 32-bit ppc compiler in Xcode 3.2.6 builds for G4 powerpc macs and up
by default.

The 'incompatible CPU subtype' error was most likely caused by this and
has nothing to do with 64-bit.

However, I've gone ahead and built a ppc64 binary as well.

I've uploaded a 'tar file to google code'
(http://squeezeslave.googlecode.com/files/squeezeslave-ppc-1.2L-379.tar.gz)
with two binaries; a 32-bit ppc with G3 support and an untested 64-bit
ppc build.

Unfortunately, I have no way to test the new builds.

nekomatic, if you could try squeezeslave-ppc-1.2L-379 and report back
that would be great.

Could someone with a G5 mac try the squeezeslave-ppc64-1.2L-379 build
and report success/failure?

I'll spin a new universal binary, with all 4 architectures once I've had
confirmation that both builds work.

I was going to say I thought the G3 was 32-bit, but I figured you knew
what you were talking about!

Anyway, your new build works fine on my G3 so far - thanks very much!

Now to see how well it synchronises with the player in iPeng...

The wiki is your friend:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezeSlave
Squeezeslave is a software squeezebox player which is very light - no
real GUI. It's great for running in the background or for use on a
"headless" machine. One drawback is it's limited to 44.1kHz playback,
but if your are running an LMS server, you can configure appropriate
transcoding.

"yes" some version of squeezeplay do , but the logitech provided one is
stuck at 48k , the vortexbox player does it .
But SS only does 44.1 not 32k or 48k which can be an issue with some web

Search these forums, it's been discussed many times in the past.

Clue: squeezeslave only supports 44100Hz sample rate.

Sorry I have read about that, but I thought that something else was the
problem (maybe some special danish letters etc) I didn't know how to
actually check the sample rate of the stream.

But after your guidance I made a custom-convert.conf file which I placed
in the plugin directory, and now the streams are playing fine. The
content of the custom-convert.conf is:

# Capabilities

After some days without restarting the services it looks much better
then before 376.
Now there should be no (planned) activities which involves restart, so
more testing time lays infront of me.
I will give a response in a few weeks.

I assume the *n/3* are copy/paste errors?

The zones feature has never worked for me either, that's part of the
reason I didn't include it in the last release.

I suspect what's happening is the output device uses a format other
than 16-bits which is correctly assumed by the zones patch as it is the
only format supported by squeezeslave.

I'll need to investigate further to be sure.

Hi Ralphy,
I'm testing squeezeslave-1.2L-320.exe on a WinXPSP3 box.
When I first start it, I get the error:
"the procedure entry point NtAlpcSendWaitReceivePort could not be
located in the dynamic link library ntdll.dll"

This does not happen with squeezeslave-asio-1.1-281.exe (or any of the
previous versions I've tried) on that same machine.

I searched a bit with this error message, came up with the suggestion
to rename \windows\system32\avrt.dll to something else.
Doing so fixed my issue. It's just one system, so just 'anecdata', but
might be useful if someone else has this issue.

One question: If I use the -L option to get a list of output devices,
how then do I use -n to specify that device? for instance, -L gets me
Output devices:
* 4: (Windows DirectSound) Primary Sound Driver (119/239)
5: (Windows DirectSound) SoundMAX HD Audio (119/239)
6: (Windows DirectSound) BEHRINGER USB AUDIO (119/239)
7: (ASIO) BEHRINGER USB AUDIO (5/5)

So, if I want to specify #7, what part of that string do I use? I've
tried "(ASIO) BEHRINGER USB AUDIO (5/5)" and "(ASIO) BEHRINGER USB
AUDIO", neither of which worked. Got any suggestions?

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I've not seen that error before.

Could you see if you get the same problem with the zones build from a
few posts back?

Currently -n will always match the DS device first as it does not
include the device type in the search. You'll need to you -o7 as it
only matches "BEHRINGER USB AUDIO". I ran into the same issue a few
days ago. I'll look at adding the device type at the beginning into
the search.

There is link in the 1st post on using -n.

I have downloaded and installed Squeezeslave 1.2-311 for Mac mini. I
have Max OS X Ver 10.6.8.

I have set it to play audio out via HDMI to my stereo speakers. And it
works fine as long as I have the TV on. If I just start the computer
without turning the TV on and start playing music the sound will only
play on the Squeezebox in the kitchen not on the stereo. But it works
fine if the TV is on when I start playing music. Also if I turn the TV
off while music is playing the sound stops on the stereo but continues
on the Squeezebox.

Don't know if it helps, but when I play music directly from iTunes the
TV can be off both from the beginning or turned off during playback.
The sound keeps coming out of the stereo speakers then.

Is there something I can do to fix this?

This is a problem with the current portaudio library. It sounds like
squeezeslave doesn't find the hdmi device you've defined with -o/-n and
reverts to the default 'Built-in Output'

The device must be present when squeezeslave starts and must remain
active the entire time squeezeslave is running.

Try running squeezeslave -L with the tv off and again with the tv on.
Are the lists different?

I've uploaded a 'new OSX test build'
(http://squeezeslave.googlecode.com/files/squeezeslave-1.2L-320M-osx.tar.gz)
using the latest portaudio library for you to try. However I don't
expect this to fix the issue as the device renumeration feature is still
in development.

I've just found squeezeslave & am trying it out, but I too get the
behaviour where it hangs after a period of inactivity.

In fact, if I get to the end of a playlist without adding new songs,
squeezeslave seems to hang.

I added the "-dslimproto" arg to the command line, and then find the
"proto_sigpipe: MSG_NOSIGNAL" message in the output, and I've pasted the
complete log output since the last of these messages below.
After this point the process seems to be pretty well hung (to the degree
that a normal kill command won't stop it, but a kill -9 is needed).

This is squeezeslave v1.2-311 on 32 bit linux (kernel 3.2.12) built with
gcc 4.5.3 running against a squeezeserver v7.7.2 - r33893.

squeezeslave 1.2-311 May 3 2012 10:49:09

Ah - I'm a gentoo user so I'd installed it via that.

I had a dig thru the ebuild - hoping it was just a simple wrapper around
your makefiles, but it's quite a rewrite :(

I can turn off aac with use flags (the way gentoo handles configuration
of packages) but it seems the ebuild author has written the ebuild to
forcibly use the gentoo portaudio package.

So I downloaded your prebuilt binary (linux26) and tried using that, but
it seems to hang in a similar way.

And then I tried the source, edited the makefile to remove the
-DUSE_SIGNALS_FOR_RESTART as mentioned in an earlier post (and commented
out the -DINTERACTIVE and LIBS line for curses and lirc, and also
removed them from the buildall call to gcc), and that seems to work
better, but still if left idle for a few minutes it sometimes goes
silent, and has to be killed and restarted to resume playing although
not hung as before - it's still producing log messages and can be killed
without a SIGKILL.

That version reports
compile flags: linux portaudio:1608 debug daemon renice

Any suggestions of anything else I can try, or do to help diagnose it?

Cheers

The audio output thread is most likely hanging.

I'd suggest working with trunk for starters which is currently at r325.

I see no issues with the makefile changes, but you'll need to make them
again for trunk.

Then I'd suggest updating the portaudio library version to r1826.

LIBPORTAUDIO=portaudio-r1826

I pulled the source for 325 and built that with minimal makefile changes
as described earlier.

That played well for a while, but then the audio is lost again after an
extended period of idle (still lots of log messages, so it's getting
data and doing something, but no audio output). Normal Ctrl-C will kill
it.

This seemed to make things worse, it hung after the slightest break of a
few seconds, and hung hard (no more log messages, needs sigkill to kill
it again).

If I can do anything to help, let me know, but if there's something
wacky about my system & you've got your hands so full with other tasks

I've only ever seen or had reports of this issue with ALSA, never with
Windows or OSX.

You could also try using a USB sound card if you have one handy to prove
it's the driver for your sound card and not squeezeslave. I had one
system running Arch Linux with a same "hanging" issue when using the
internal sound card but when I ran the same binary with a USB sound card
it worked perfectly.

Updating the ALSA snd_hda_intel kernel driver on this system fixed the
hanging with the internal sound card.

I'd believe it - sound has always been a bit hit-and-miss on this system
(and it's not a clean install, but the hardware and O/S have been
continuously upgraded over the last 6 or 7 years or so).

The 325 version (with default portaudio) seems much better, and doesn't
always lose the audio, so I can easily live with it for now...
I've got it starting as a service, so while it's not a hard-hang I can
always restart the service easily enough.

But I'll let you know if it suddenly improves or worsens etc.

Cheers

OK, I traced this down to 32KHz streams. Any way for squuezeslave to
play 32KHz streams without sounding like a duck? I have mplayer and

This is a problem with the current portaudio library. It sounds like
squeezeslave doesn't find the hdmi device you've defined with -o/-n and
reverts to the default 'Built-in Output'

The device must be present when squeezeslave starts and must remain
active the entire time squeezeslave is running.

Try running squeezeslave -L with the tv off and again with the tv on.
Are the lists different?

I've uploaded a 'new OSX test build'
(http://squeezeslave.googlecode.com/files/squeezeslave-1.2L-320M-osx.tar.gz)
using the latest portaudio library for you to try. However I don't
expect this to fix the issue as the device renumeration feature is still
in development.

The newer builds includes WASAPI support which is only available on
Vista/Win7. My research on this indicates that the avrt.dll is not for
XP and really should never have been installed by what app did so. I've
made a change in the 'r323 build'
(http://squeezeslave.googlecode.com/files/squeezeslave-1.2L-323-win.zip)
which might stop this error from popping up. I guess you'd need to
rename avrt.dll back to it's original to try it.

The 'r323 build'

also has a new command line option (-t/--audiotype) to limit the

Try this on the command line.

The original sources for squeezeslave were hard coded to support 16/44.1
everywhere so it's a major update to the
code. All timing and memory allocation calculations assume 16 bits and
44100Hz and the pcm decoder as well. I've
managed to add mono support for all the decoders except ogg, but that's
really a hack and would likely need to be
removed as part of this effort. You'll need to search all the code to
find the assumptions. I've tried to add FIXME
comments in the code when I've added any such assumptions myself, but
Richard didn't always do that.

I think a variable would need to be added to the audio structure to
track the sample rate of the current stream. A
couple of the decoders don't have a means to obtain the sample rate of
the current stream, so that would need to be
added. SBS seems to always pass '?' for the sample rate so you can't
use that. Ignore the AAC and WMA decoders as
I'm planning to rewrite them and they are not part of the official build
anyway.

The portaudio code expects 44100 as well so there's been no thought in
the design on how to change the hardware
sample rate if the next track is different from the current one. Also
the device list code checks if the device
specifically supports 44100.

There's also issues with the buffer code that needs to be resolved.
I've been working the another forum member to
help get squeezeslave ported to the empeg/rio car player. Ideally all
buffer code needs to be replaced with some
sort of ring buffer implementation. I've looked at using the one
included with the port audio svn trunk but it's
more work than I'm willing to put into squeezeslave at this time.

I think you'll find the buffering code will be the greatest hurdle to
overcome and I suspect that increasing both
bit size and sampling rate will expose additional issues.

The pa_callback is tightly coupled with the buffering code and this will
need to be addressed when replacing the
buffer engine. There should be no blocking function calls in the
callback. However, currently there are three.
For the empeg port we've managed to remove two of them, but the last in
the slimaudio_buffer_available call can only
be removed by changing the buffer code.

If you'd like to take a stab at it, I'm happy to help as much as
possible with suggestions and testing.

A fellow forum member, lauret, has started the work and has provided a
patch which partial works. I'd suggest getting in contact with him to
obtain the latest version and attempt to co-ordinate you're efforts. I
can create a branch on google code for the hi-res project.

Here's a quote from lauret regarding the current state

I haven't heard anything since then and I've made a lot of changes to
squeezeslave trunk, which I'll be updating later this week with several
more changes.

I've uploaded new 32-bit linux test builds for ARM, Intel and MIPPS to
'google code' (http://code.google.com/p/squeezeslave/downloads/list).

These include an updated portaudio library which fixes invalid sample
rate error on device open for inexactly clocked sound cards with up to a
1% deviation from 44100Hz sample rate.

If in the past you've tried to use a sound card that was listed with -L
but caused squeezeslave to crash with the error

output_thread: PortAudio error1: Invalid sample rate

then those sound cards should now work with the latest builds.

NB: squeezeslave still only supports 16-bit 44100Hz +/-1% sample rate
output.

It turned out to be a much bigger chore than I anticipated. Anyway,

Quick (trivial) question about squeezeslave-1.2-365-osx running on my

Despite using --name HDMI or --output 2 with squeezeslave, I can't get
any sound if there is a stereo-miniplug plugged into the headphone
socket. VLC, if it's ouput is set to HDMI, doesn't have this problem
and I'll get sound from my HDMI connected monitor's speakers. Any idea
why this should be so?

Anyway, I'm finding that booting into Lion is such a PITA that I'm
finding excuses not to do so. Lion doesn't play well with my KVM

now switch both video AND audio connectors.

Do you see the same behaviour with ' r345'
(http://squeezeslave.googlecode.com/files/squeezeslave-1.2-345-osx.tar.gz)?

I updated the portaudio library in r365 and I've noticed a couple other

Just uploaded an ' armhf build'
(http://squeezeslave.googlecode.com/files/squeezeslave-1.2-367-armhf-lnx31.tar.gz)
of squeezeslave.
Requires Debian Arm Hard Float (armhf) distribution or the new raspbian
port.

I suspect it's portaudio as it currently doesn't support hotplugging
devices.

VLC appears to use CoreAudio directly, I'll confirm on the weekend.

Can you attach the debug log as you have enabled slimaudio_output it may
provide additional clues?

Thanks.

I confirmed that vlc used coreaudio directly and there's talk of
portaudio support being removed altogether.

>From the slimaudio_output log it appears that portaudio is confused as
squeezeslave should not open the device at 48KHz which the log clearly
shows it has.

paDeviceInfo->deviceid 2
paDeviceInfo->maxOutputChannels 2
paDeviceInfo->defaultSampleRate 48000.000000

I was unable to reproduce this on my mid-2010 mini at home running snow
leopard and I don't have access to hdmi equipment at the office where my
2011 mini running lion lives.

Until portaudio supports hot plug devices, I can't see being able to fix
this issue anyway.

Hi,

I just installed mountain lion on my mac mini and noticed that
squeezeslave was streaming the audio to a different output than before
the upgrade.

Editing the plist file fixed the issue.

Just wanted to get this into the thread in case someone else has a
similar problem.

I just upgraded to mountain lion, and on my machine, squeezeslave -L now
returns

Output devices:
0: (Core Audio) AirPlay (6000/60000)
* 2: (Core Audio) Built-in Output (1/10)
3: (Core Audio) Soundflower (2ch) (0/0)
4: (Core Audio) Soundflower (16ch) (0/0)

There's an airport express device in my kitchen, but when specifying
this output device in the plist file there's no sound that emerges from
the device.

I currently use Airfoil to stream Soundflower (2ch) to the airport
express base station, but would prefer to just stream to it directly.

I'm using version 1.2-311 of your excellent software.

Am I doing something wrong, or is squeezeslave just not able to handle
this yety?

Thanks.

I have not tested squeezeslave on 10.8

First, do you get sound if you use the default built in output?

Then grab the 'latest beta build from googlecode'
(http://squeezeslave.googlecode.com/files/squeezeslave-1.2-365-osx.tar.gz).

Again, try the built in output (-o2), if it works,then try the AirPlay
(-o0) one.

I'll have to wait till I'm home later to test it, but in examining a
problem with squeezeplay, it seems that mountain lion changes the output
numbers if you have an airplay device (apple tv or AEBS).

I suspect that everything still works properly. I guess I should refer
to them by name instead of number.

Yes, using -n would be best.

I see you got squeezeplay working to the airplay device, that's great.

'Test build available on googlecode.'

Try the OSS binary first.

The SADA binary includes hardware mixer support but is limited to very

Ralphy,

Thanks for your hard work!

Regarding the Raspbian port for the Raspberry Pi - I can't get it to
work. If I use the -I switch, it correctly reports my server. If I use
the -L switch it sees audio devices. But if I actually try to connect
with an ip or -F, it closes after a few seconds.

Any ideas?

I'd guess there's an issue with your network.

There have been 80 downloads of the raspbian port and you're the first
to report any issues.

Without more details it's hard to know.

What is the complete command line you use when it fails?

Add -dslimproto -dslimaudio_http -Ycloses.log before the IP address and
post a zip with the log file after squeezeslave closes.

Even if we do find an issue, I don't have a PI readily available to
rebuild squeezeslave.
Thomas of squeezeplug fame provided access to a PI to build the current
port.

Hi I've just come across squeezeslave and it seems to be exactly what
I've been looking for apart from, I can't get it working with the device
I want.

I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit.

The devices I have are listed below

That's okay, the log file is my debugging tool.

Looks like the server is closing the connection.

Try adding -R before the IP address, squeezeslave will then reconnect if
the connection is closed.

I figured out the problem. I have another squeezeslave on my network, so
I had to give it a mac address:

squeezeslave -m 11:11:11:11:11:11 192.168.1.100

I'm getting occasional clicks though...

Thanks for your help Ralphy

Try adding -y84 before the IP address

Hi Ralphy

Slightly odd one - I've installed the raspberry build on the current
raspbian OS (which seems to include ALSA), and after a little messing
around, everything seems to install and run fine. I can see the client
from the web control or from iPeng, turn it on and off, play tracks to
it etc.. Everything seems just fine. Except, no sound. No errors that
I can see - just not a peep out of it. The weird thing is that the AV
processor does see the stream changing - i.e. it sees a PCM 44.1kHz
stream when I hit play, and it sees the stream stop if I power down
squeezeslave through iPeng. Everything seems to work - just
silently......

Any ideas, or ideas where I could look?

Thanks Ralphy - it was the alsamixer - for some reason default was to
mute - no idea why. Un-muted and all seems to be working nicely now
:-). I know the LMS side very well, but I'm a Windows guys, so the
Linux world is a little new to me - help much appreciated.

thanks
