@Nick w Do NOT put in a real MAC ID of you your machine. Put in a fake MAC ID like I said.

Seriously, it's really not that hard. Just follow the instructions as I wrote them and it will work.

If you put in your machine's real MAC ID, it think your machine is a squeezebox and tries to talk to it. It's not.

Hell, let me do it for you:

Code:

<settings>
<setting id="MAC" value="01:86:12:AA:BB:CC" />
<setting id="connectpause" value="0" />
<setting id="enableTouch" value="true" />
<setting id="exitpause" value="0" />
<setting id="liteargs" value="-o hdmi:CARD=HDMI,DEV=0" />
<setting id="playback" value="true" />
<setting id="player" value="Squeezelite" />
<setting id="sendPlayOnStart" value="true" />
<setting id="serverHTTPPort" value="9000" />
<setting id="serverIP" value="192.168.1.200" />
<setting id="serverPass" value="" />
<setting id="serverPort" value="9090" />
<setting id="serverUser" value="" />
<setting id="slaveargs" value="" />
<setting id="startuppause" value="0" />
</settings>

wa la.

@Bossa i use the real mac address of both my openelec boxes and all seems to be ok.

You shouldn't, really - well, unless you do want to get control of an external service going on. It just confuses things. It should technicalyl work, but I'd use real macs only with real hardware players.

If you register different players with the same MAC it confuses LMS, so best to just use a fake mac with fake players

Hi Graves.

Are you running the latest openelec beta?

Going to test and install LMS on a Ubuntu VM tonight. See if the LMS server on my Xpenology HPMicro Server.

@Bossonova

Thanks but I have tried fake Mac addresses.. Going to remove the add on and reinstall it tonight.

It odd how playing it via SSH on the openelec machine it works but running it on the add on it fails...

Going to look at the LMS log as well.

Thanks

[bossanova808]

Do a debug log again please...this time without an IP address in as your Mac id

[nick w]

Right,
I think its an openelec issue....

Im using the latest beta from Openelec, I have just installed XBMC on a win8.1, installed your plugin Bossanova and it worked straight away.......

it was flawless...

Then back to my Openelec machine and NADA, Nothing.......

Not sure what to do now, i dont think the Openelec chaps are that interested..

[nickr]

Try post 1145.

[nick w]

Right

So we have 4 lots of logs.

Windows and LMS works perfectly
OPENELEX and LMS is where i have issues

Firstly, we have a Windows 8.1 Gotham beta install:

XBMC logs - http://pastebin.com/wmQanLYP

Openelec Gotham Latest
LMS Logs - http://pastebin.com/QWzdVNs3

LMS logging has debug set on playback squeeze ect
XBMC openelec has verbos debugging on audio

[bossanova808]

You have configured *squeezelite* but you're running *squeezeslave*

<setting id="player" value="Squeezeslave" />

### XSqueeze-1.0.9 ### Attempting to start player: ['/storage/.xbmc/addons/script.xsqueeze/resources/bin/linux/squeezeslave-i64', '-m01:01:01:01:01:01', '192.168.1.200']

...thus the output you are specifying is not applied.

Change the player to squeezelite and try again.

[nickr]

Yeah kinda like I said a page or so back http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1667163

@Nick. Im running openelec 3.2.4. Frodo

[nick w]

I am not going mad.. Honest

['/storage/.xbmc/addons/script.xsqueeze/resources/bin/linux/squeezelite-i64', '-m', '01:01:01:01:01:01', '-o', 'hdmi:CARD=HDMI,DEV=0', '-s', '192.168.1.200']

http://pastebin.com/FWFTmWMJ

Honest, i have done more troubleshooting on this openelex box than any other.. Win8.1 Gotham worked straight out of the box..
(i know they are vastly different)

Thanks

*sigh* need a full debug log

ALWAYS NEED A FULL DEBUG LOG

You have clipped off all the important stuff

[nickr]

I meant to post this last night, sorry about the delay. My previous attempts have been with mythbuntu 12.04 and XBMC 12.2.

I tried xsqueeze on openelec 4.0 beta 3 (ie 3.95.3) last night and got it to work with squeezelite as the player.

At first I was getting no sound, so I tried a 9 second startup delay in xsqueeze settings, and it worked.

Clearly there must be some time required for XBMC to give up the audio device. I will try shorter and shorter delays and see what works, although this will be machine dependent.

Hope this helps nick w.

[bossanova808]

Ok great.

I would think at most it will be a second or two. XSqueeze suspends the engine almost immediately and it should action that pretty quickly.
