I'm using a Yamaha R-XV3900 receiver as a upnp client. It sees the foobar server fine, I get playlists, media library shown. I can select songs and even get album art. But dispite playing with many server settings I get a crackling sound on high levels that I presume is clipping. I do not get this sound when playing the same tracks via optical output. I have tried Apply Replay\Gain setting on server but no change.

I'm impressed that it almost works! Solving the clipping sound would make it listenable.

Any ideas?

Can foo_audioscrobbler & foo_upnp work together to scrobble any music I play via uPnP?

Does foo_upnp know what tracks it is streaming? Could this info either be passed to foo_audioscrobbler or could we have a Last.fm option in foo_upnp?

Thanks

That's very strange. There's no reason you should get crackling sound from the plugin side. What happens if you use another media server ?
I assume you do not have this crakling sound if you play the files direclty in foobar ? Or using a second instance of foobar using the UPnP browser to play file from the fb server instance ?

Hi bubbleguuum
You are correct, the files play back fine directly from foobar - as I said optical out into same amp.

I'm planning on setting Media Player as a server tonight and trying that with the amp. The user manual states that this works. This will prove if it is the amp. or not. I'll then try foobar client on another PC.

Irrespective of this 'little' problem, I'm still impressed that it almost works with a piece of equipment that you have never tested. Well done on your interpretation of the various standards.

Firstly, thanks for the great plugin, really useful to have.

Just one question: I know that the 360 uses an odd interface, but is it possible to get the xbox 360 player to group albums in the same way as the default wmp one does, so you get Artists/Albums/Album Tracks, rather than the current system which just gives all the tracks in a list.

Thanks

Further investigations on 'crackling' sound.

foobar (server) >> Yamaha amp = crackling
WMP (server) >> Yamaha amp = No crackle
foobar (server) >> WMP (client) (same PC) = No crackle

Any conclusions?

@Khol: unfortunately the XBOX has a hardcoded media tree. There's not much to configure here



@Black_Over_Bills_Mothers:

Conclusion: WTF !

When you mean crackling, you do not mean drop out of audio, but garbled or saturated sound, right ?
Send me a debug log and I'll have a look (see first post for info).

As there hasn't been a reply from Florian, could Last.fm support be added to foo_upnp?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the excellent plugin. I am having one problem with the controller though.

I am using foobar to stream music to a Western Digital HD TV live. I want to be able to have a continuous stream of music randomly from my library. To that end, I added the whole folder containing all my music (over 10,000 tracks) to the UPnP controller playback queue. At the end of each track playback just stops. At one point I had it so that tracks played continuously in a random order. I loaded the ColumnsUI first and restarted foobar. Then I set playback -> order -> shuffle (tracks), and started the player. Finally I pressed play in the UPnP controller. I noticed that, unlike with the default view, the name of the track appeared in the UPnP controller poput window.

For some reason (probably stupidity or boredom  ), I started playing with settings half an hour later. I switched back from the columnsUI to the default view (amongst other things) and found that that stopped the continuous play, so I had to press play again after every song.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get back to the continuous play?

I do notice that in the console there is always the same error message when a track ends and the next does not start. The message is:

foo_upnp: 1128.172: PLT_CtrlPoint::ProcessHttpNotify(689): WARNING: NPT_CHECK failed, result=-1 (FAILURE) [((-1))]
foo_upnp: 1128.172: PLT_CtrlPoint::ProcessHttpNotify(749): SEVERE: CtrlPoint received bad request

Any help appreciated. I am very impressed with how well the streaming worked. This was just the functionality I was looking for. I am sure it is possible to get it working again, but I do not know how.

Quick question:
I am using foo_upnp to play my foobar2000 playlists on my XBMC via LAN.
Is there a way to reload a playlist?
Because when I change a playlist in foobar2000 and select this playlist the changes do not show in XBMC.

I guess it is rather a XBMC problem, but I do not know too much about that kind of stuff !

I can't seem to make the UPnP Controller send tracks to play on my renderer (NaimUniti). When i press play, i get a 'setAVTransportURI Error: Action failed (501)' error, and nothing happens.


I have now got this to work: I replaced my Thomson TG585v7 router with a D-link 2640B, and everything is fine. I guess something was blocking the instruction.

@mediumspiny:

For the track not advancing problem you can send me a log file. See first post for instructions.

Shuffle tracks is not yet supported when using the UPnP controller playback queue:  you cannot just use playback -> order -> shuffle (tracks) as this
command shuffle a regular foobar2000 playlist and the controller playlist is not really a regular one (I mean it is totally managed by the plugin, regardless
of some foobar2000 playlist settings such as track order). You'll notice the grayed shuffle button in the Controller. At some point shuffle will be implemented. For
now it is implemented only for Linn DS devices.
Fortunately there is and easy way to achieve what you want, both adressing the track advance problem and shuffle. Use the command PlayBack->UPnP Controller->Play foobar2000 playback stream capture. Now whatever you play in foobar2000 (using regular playback control buttons, not the controller ones) in whatever playlist will be streamed to your currently selected renderer in 44.1/16/2 LPCM (you'll probably have to select LPCM in the Default streaming profile, as WAV is the default). Shuffle should work as expected since standard playlists are used.

@Sebert:

The Server do not notify of playlist (or Media Library) changes to the client (XMBC) yet, so it is a known shortcoming. This is something I want
to implement but it will take some time. Only way to have the change reflected for now is to stop/start the server in the Status conf page.

I'm having an issue with the remote upnp server not showing up even if the reconnect box is checked. My guess is that when I'm at home the upnp plugin is detecting it as a local server and then through some confusion does not show back up remotely.

Can this be fixed so I don't always have to re-add the remote server when away from home?

Thanks, this plugin is awesome.

Indeed, I already sent it.

But here is one such log:

http://www.easy-share.com/1909191374/crash.zip


Unfortunately I can't make sense of the dump included in the zip. Maybe if you resubmit another one (just use the "send report" button in the "foobar2000 has crashed" dailog), it could help to find this bug.

Just crashed on me again 60 seconds ago, report sent.

Again, here it is just in case:
Code: [Select]
http://www.easy-share.com/1909474646/crash reports.rar


The connection failed because the radio station is dead.  But I still had it listed in my playlist so when I tried to play it, foo_upnp caused foobar to crash, as seen on the last line in the above txt file:

Is it possible to use Plugplayer through the cell network to connect to my Foobar2000 server at home.  I currently have it setup to work through the internet on a pc?  If so, what is the manual address I would enter?

Thank you

you must enter an URL of the form:

Code: [Select]
http://<server ip or hostname>:<port>/<login><password>


where "server ip or hostname", "port", "login", "password" aer set to the server configured values.

for example (with login=foo password=bar):

http://1.2.3.4:56923/foobar

PlugPlayer is asking for a device description xml file.

Any chance you can make the name of the UPnP customizable?

Also, any chance or make it so it does not show up under video and pictures on the xbox 360?

Thank you it worked.  The only reason wh I asked that was because it didnt work for me before.  Seems was a user error :-|

Thanks again

There is one thing i noticed regarding internet streaming.  If I use plugplayer on the internet, manually set it up as above.  Then go home and connect to wifi, the manual settings gets replaced with the Foobar2000 server running on my network.  I have to enter the manual settings again.

bubbleguuum - Thanks for all of your contributions to the foobar community.

I haven't done any research on this, so feel free to drop a URL and tell me to RTFM...but here goes anyway.

I tried to forward internet radio streams through foobar to my PS3. I create a m3u with 4 stations in it and attempted to play them.

One of them worked fine.

The other three (all run by the same station) played really really fast, then buffered, then played really really fast, etc...

Any ideas?
