Hey, sorry about this.  I did fix it within a couple of hours of causing it though.  If you apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade it *should* fix everything.  Please let me know what happens if it does not and I'll look at it asap.

Hi,

I have done apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade this morning gand allways have the same error.

Apparently lmce-squeezeslave package is not yet corrected.

Phllippe,

I've uploaded the now current lmce-squeezeslave package to deb. Please re-run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, and see if you get a new package. Should be live in 2 minutes, i.e. 12:55CEST

[pga57]

Hi Phenigma and Posde

It's ok now but I had to remove lmce-squeezeslave before installing the new package.

I just have another problem. The sound seems as if we had cut off pieces of melody (hard to describe for me ;-)).
I tried with web radio and music in .flac, .mp3. Same result.


I sync the same sound in three rooms. It worked very well with squeezeslave.
Maybe a missing parameter ?

Greetings
Philippe
 

[Marie.O]

Cut off? You mean the first few seconds or last few seconds of an mp3 does not get out?

[pga57]

It is like some parts of the songs are missing for few ms and that all 2 or 3s in the song !
Like I said, it is strange to describe.

[phenigma]

The proper package was in the repository.  However the failed package would not complete to allow the new package in.  An apt-get install --reinstall lmce-squeezeslave would have gotten around that.

This is a build of squeezelite from the original source.  Squeezeslave is no longer supported or being developed.  I have been running this for some time now without any issues.  I have no missing time in any of the tracks I play.  We will likely have to push any issues we discover back upstream to the squeezelite author.

A question:  What are you running squeezelite on (cpu speed/# of cores/what else is the machine doing)?  How many squeezelites are you running on this machine?  Squeezelite takes a lot more resources than squeezeslave did and that could have an impact on the number of squeeze devices you can run at one time.

When you say parts of the songs are 'missing' do you mean that the track appears to skip in the middle of playing?  Or does it start a few seconds into the song or finish a few seconds early?

J.

I think that the power is enough:

Motherboard: Gigabyte  GA-P35-DS3L
Processor: Intel duo Quad 9300
RAM: OCZ Dual Channel Platinum XTC, DDR2 PC2-6400, Cas 4 (2 x 2 Go)

I mean that the track skip allways few ms in the song and throughout all the track (and no silence).
The original tempo is disturbed (sorry but I can not get a better explanation in English ;-)).

[phenigma]

That shouldn't be an issue, afaict.  What is the load like with all three squeezelites playing?

Squeezelite has the ability to upsample all it's outputs, I wonder if it is doing that?  And, if it is, I wonder how much impact that is having?

J.

[pga57]

The load does not seem to increase much and always remains below 0.60 (and 4 squeezelites playing).

Maybe a buffer problem ?

Philippe

[phenigma]

That's a definite possibility.  I have much higher cpu usages here, which is confusing me a little.  Check the squeezelite command line settings and you can alter /usr/pluto/bin/Launch_Squeezeslave.sh to add any items for testing.

If we find that buffers are the issue, or other command line items, then we can add those pieces into the webadmin and the script as permanent values.

J.

[pga57]

Yes I am also surprised that it does not work properly.

I tested a few parameters (-a 200 for example) but without success yet.

And it's not sync the problem, I have the same without it.

I'll keep looking.
