Great plug-in.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or I'm an idiot, but every time I start a song it plays back for a couple seconds and then stops.

And when I say stop I don't mean it crashes. Something is actually telling squeezelite/server to stop playback. If I hit play a second time the song starts form the beginning and plays out fine.

This is with the latest version of the plugin on Milhouse's #9xxx RPi2 builds.

Am I missing something simple or is it log time?

Just for future reference -

I do not know what is actually causing the issue nor have I really looked or tracked Kodi's messaging, but commenting out:

code:
    def onPlayBackStopped(self):

        '''Kodi event fired when playback is stopped'''

        if self.is_playing:

            self.lmsserver.stop()

            log_msg("playback stopped")

        self.is_playing = False

from the plugin's player_monitor.py corrected my afore mentioned issue of the playback being forced stopped.

Kodi 18 Milhouse #0910, RPi3

Also your addon works beautifully on my windows box without doing anything but installing.

Hi
having a questions. which port do i have to use:
cli port 9090
or http 9000?

thanks

Hi

added: https://paste.kodi.tv/avaweticog.kodi

could you please check the squeeze error?

Thanks

woei · 2018-10-28, 17:24

It looks like this plugin is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately I have not successfully been able to get it working.

I have a LMS server on 7.9.1 (initially tried at 7.9.0, upgrade did not make a difference). A squeezebox boom and a picoreplayer are working fine on this LMS install. This pi I am trying to deploy with Kodi and squeezebox for Kodi, actually used to be a picoreplayer working great. I have installed Libreelec fresh and set up kodi to work with my Hifiberry. After that I installed the mediatools from the Libreelec repo. I Then installed the zip file from the original post to add the repo. From the repo I installed Squeezebox for Kodi. After checking some logs and packet captures, it looks like the JSON API call goes wrong somehow.

This is what I see on my LMS server continuously:

Code:
[18-10-28 16:01:40.6589] Slim::Web::JSONRPC::requestMethod (455) b8:27:eb:46:37:69: request not dispatchable!

Before upgrading LMS, I actually noticed a different request method, even though the request (I checked in the pcaps) is exactly the same:

Code:
[18-10-28 15:57:39.3551] Slim::Web::JSONRPC::requestMethod (443) b8:27:eb:46:37:69: request not dispatchable!

In the Kodi log it shows:

Code:
16:02:28.040 T:1560458144 WARNING: plugin.audio.squeezebox --> Exception in lmsserver ! --> Server is offline or connection error...

Looking at the packet captures, I see an API request directly after boot with what I assume is a power on notification from Squeezelite to LMS:

Code:
{"params": ["b8:27:eb:46:37:69", ["power", "1"]], "id": 1, "method": "slim.request"}

After that, I continuously see the following API request:

Code:
{"params": ["b8:27:eb:46:37:69", ["status", "-", "1", "tags:u"]], "id": 1, "method": "slim.request"}

Any clues?

woei · 2018-11-27, 11:41

It seems the notification "request not dispatchable" indicated that the plugin was issuing requests regarding a player that was not yet registered.

In order for the player to register correctly, the most important thing I needed to do was to disable audio keep-alive in Kodi. Because Kodi was hogging ALSA, Squeezelite was unable to start properly and did not register. I changed so much around at this point that I am unsure if I have changed anything else at this point. Just wanted to put this here for future reference.

What would also have been very helpful is understanding how all communication is flowing. I believe it to be as follows:

Raspberry Pi LMS Server

Squeezelite <---------------port 3843-----------------> slimproto api
Squeezebox for kodi plugin <------ port 9000 -----> Web API

There seems to be no direct communication between the squeezebox for Kodi plugin and Squeezelite, other than configuring the startup parameters for Squeezelite (e.g. LMS server IP and auto start)

thanks to op/marcelveldt, kodi team, and others posting to this thread.

to give hope to others I have this kodi/addon working with the following :

odroid c2 w/32g micro-sd and usb sound dongle w/3.5mm out
libreElec 8.2.5 w/ kodi 17.6
multimedia tools - 8.2.105; main menu,addons,install from repository,libreelec add-ons,program addons.
squeezebox 1.0.19; main menu,addons,install from repository,marcelveldt's beta repository,music add-ons.
... one needs to add marcelveldt's repo via post #1 before adding 'squeezebox' addon.
configure via, main menu,addons,my add-ons,music add-ons.
I selected my usb device.
rebooted kodi.

notes: I need to stop squeezelite via squeezebox before playing a movie/video I suspect as tolot noted in #133.
restart squeezebox once movie stops.

extra codos that lyrics works.
'picture slideshow screensaver' works while on the main kodi menu screen, even showing 'current playing' album cover and song name even via 'radio paradise' flac stream.
kodi/squeezebox syncs well with my other 3 rpi-squeezelites for whole house music and control ! nice.

nice I can have the 4k tv on, listening to music with artwork being displayed.

I installed your repo and the addon. Also instaklled multimedia tools but I cant get the squeezelite player to be seen from LMS. Please help. Thanks.

extremeaudio · 2018-12-10, 16:18

Did a fresh install. I changed a few settings in kodi system settings / audio output. Like setting 'keep audio device alive' to off and finally got it visible as a player. But audio just plays briefly on starting playback and then audio drops. Playback is on.

Its an awesome plugin. Would be great to have this to work. Any help possible?

Elluminatus · 2019-01-12, 12:38

Hi extremaudio,

do you find new infos about this issue? I have the same promlem. Researched a little bit
and it seems like its a problem with the same use of kodi an squeezelight over hdmi.
Most people where the combination kodi/squeezelight is working are user of a seperate sound device
beside hdmi e.g. usb or i2s.

But I have the same problems that I only have a TV in my bedroom and want to use kodi and sueezelight both over the TV speaker
and use both over hdmi.

What is your stae of things?

Greetings Elluminatus

marc_with_a_c · 2019-01-13, 20:43

There seems to be some info on how to setup hdmi out here but I'm not savvy enough to mess with libreelec to this point.
https://forums.plex.tv/t/howto-running-l...lec/101063
Seems like hdmi is not available when using default.
