(You got lucky, I was bored today

You are too awesome. THANK YOU! It works great.

Hello

I made the migration from librelec 6.1 to librelec 7.95.1 raspberry pi3

and y lost de selection button at the bottom of the window...

What can I do ...

Thank you for your help

Yeah I (or someone) will need to do an XSqueeze skin file for Estuary. It should still work fine with Confluence & Kodi 17 (which is what I will use as I am not a fan of Estuary)

Hi - new user of XSqueeze on Kodi on Openelec on Raspberry Pi3 here - many thanks indeed for this addon! - just what I was looking for!

I use it with a Sony TV and remote, using HDMI-CEC to control XSqueeze. It all works fine, except that I cannot find a way of making alphanumeric inputs into the XSqueeze "Filter" function with the TV remote. It works (of course) with a USB keyboard plugged into the Pi3.

Is there any way of entering Filter terms with an HDMI-CEC remote?

Or is there a way to use the on-screen keyboard with cursor control (not sure what it's called, but this thing):

Or is there some other way I've missed of Searching my LMS library, without just scrolling through Artists/Albums/Songs...?

Many thanks in advance.

Well, at that point you're using the 'XSqueeze Chooser' plugin to choose music. Basically, that just presents lists of items to Kodi, and how Kodi displays and lets you navigate items is, I believe, entirely up to Kodi and outside of my control...that's jsut the basic structure of a Kodi plugin really. In theory any way you normally navigate in other plugins should work here...but I'm on holiday right now so can't actually try it out here with a regular remote right now I'm afraid.

OK, thanks for the reply. I understand this might be out of your hands.

In other plug-ins, the on-screen cursor-controlled keyboard comes up automatically when alphanumeric entry is required.

However, when I want to use the "Filter" when choosing music in XSqueeze: the flashing cursor is there, but the on-screen cursor-controlled keyboard doesn't come up automatically, and I can't find any keys on the HDMI-CEC remote to force bringing it up. I'll keep looking.

Thanks again.

Right - I'm putting my hand up here to my own stupidity!

I eventually realised that once the Filter is chosen and the cursor is flashing awaiting text entry, simply pressing the OK button (centre of cursor pad) brings up the virtual keyboard.

Doh! (Thought I'd better 'fess up, for anybody else reading this with the same problem!) Never has my avatar been more appropriate!

Thanks again to bossanova for the XSqueeze plugin.

Hello. Been lurker here for a while but when I trid to install XSqueeze on my Kodi box I only get "Couldn't connect to the player" error.

My setup is:
LMS running on Synology NAS, working fine with 3 squeezebox radios around the house.
Kodi box is Intel NUC D34010WYK, connected to Maranz receiver and a TV (Panasonic plasma). I'm using Aeon Nox skin (XSqueeze is in Submenu of Music) and Kodi 16.1.

XSqueeze was installed as per these instructions using this zip file. XSqueeze is set as a local player, server IP is correct, port numbers are correct, MAC address is the one from NUCs network adapter (I also tried a random MAC address and got the same error).

Log file while attempting to run XSqueeze just after reboot is:

I don't see an obvious issue there @ant0n1j4 - my guess would be somnething blobking a port (another xbmc service for example).

Trh and ssh in and run from the command line:

Attempting to start player: ['/home/jan/.kodi/addons/script.xsqueeze/resources/bin/linux/squeezelite-i64', '-m', 'ec:a8:6b:ff:69:fb', '-s', '192.168.0.143']

(with kodi running)

...that may well give you a hint as to the issue.

ant0n1j4 · 2017-03-02, 10:51

Thanks for the reply, I will try the SSH when I get home from work.

What about the errors raised by XSqueeze in the log:

23:15 T:140555455543040  NOTICE: ### XSqueeze - 1.2.6 ### Killing player process...

I must admit my programming skills are very poor and my debugging skills are non-existent, but the "Killing player process" after two raised exceptions looks weird to me.

Also why do I get "Couldn't connect to the player" error, when I have set up XSqueeze as local player (not controller of existing squeezebox player)?

ant0n1j4 · 2017-03-02, 20:19

I tried to run

Code:
/home/jan/.kodi/addons/script.xsqueeze/resources/bin/linux/squeezelite-i64 -m ec:a8:6b:ff:69:fb -s 192.168.0.143

via SSH and the result was:

Code:
[19:14:25.959585] test_open:294 playback open error: Device or resource busy

[19:14:25.959659] output_init_common:381 unable to open output device

XSqueeze did not start, nothing displayed on the TV screen, only putty (SSH) output.

Any ideas?

**bossanova808** · 2017-03-03, 00:20

@ant0n1j4

Yep you're mis-reading that. XSqueeze, when acting as a local player, starts an external player process for the actual playback (i.e. squeezelite). If that fails to start, then XSqueeze can then not connect to it.

And, as per your SSH test, it IS failing to start. Because a device/resource is busy - i.e. something (most likley kodi) is hogging the audio device and squeezelite can't start. So you need to refer back to the wiki and your Kodi setup and work out why the device is being held on to by Kodi (e.g. keep audio device alive is set, or gui sounds are on etc)....

ant0n1j4 · 2017-03-04, 08:38

"Keep audio device alive" was the problem, everything works now. Thanks!
