[suryateja.b]

Hi All,
I am new user for this LMS.i have installed latest version of
Logitech Media Server on ZOTAC with Windows 7.In the same network i have
connected my 6 RPi's.All the six RPI's are connected to my entire
house.Now my problem is,when i open LMS Web GUI with the ip address.It
is showing all the Music files but it is not showing all the
players(RPi's).it is showing only 1 and jumping between the players.but
i have given server ip address manually for every RPi.When try to ping
the RPi IP address from the server it is pinging perfectly.I have trun
off the firewall on Windows.Please suggest me what i have to do.

Hi youtube Tutorial User,

Did you "clone" the images or setup each rpi from scratch?

Just power one on, give them an unified name (just youtube dns name or
google *Raspberry /etc/hostname* ) and reboot it.
Same procedure for each player.
Problem should be solved.

win32Diskimager i have loaded into all SD Card's and then i inserted
into every Rpi.After that user name is root and password is
nosoup4u.after i entered into that i have followed the youtube
tutorial.I have given already different name for every player(RPi).

So, if you have made a new card for each player they should all show up
(I can't remember the limit for the number of players supported by LMS).

I would suggest that you disconnect all six and start by installing each
player, one by one, in the Audio Player section of SqueezePlug/Max2play.

Make sur that all the settings for squeezelite (apart from the name, IP
Address) are identical and that each player works as you install it.

Also that you restart Squeezelite after each player configuration, or
reboot if you prefer.

Take your time and check each one as you progress.

As Squeezeplug also contains the LMS server.....

can it be that on all 6 RPi's not only the player part is active but
also the LMS server part? It could well be that the player part finds
the first server locally on the same RPi and therefore does not connect
to LMS running on your W7 box.

One would have to first install LMS on each card, The OP appears to be
running each pi as a player only (or at least I hope he is :))

It could be this. I would recommend installing piCorePlayer on each Pi
that doesn't need to be running a server.

As you only use the Squeezelite part on the RPi's: have you tried with a
similar software like Picoreplayer on your RPi's? If that leads to the
same issue it leads me to believing that something is not quite right in
your network setup.

Yeah...When i try to use picoreplayer on one RPi and squeezelite on one
more RPi.it is showing both the RPi's.But when i try to use both as the
same player(squeezelite or picorePlayer).It is showing only one
player.Help me out please.....

That really sounds (pun not intended) to me as a network setup issue
when this also happens with picoreplayer

- you use one of the 3 IP range reserved for private networks? at home
most often the 192.168.x.x. range is used
- you RPI's have unique IP's and do not use by accident an IP used by
other network gear like maybe your smartphone, tablet, router, etc...
- your rpi's have unique MAC addresses (that should be the case by
default, set by the factory per ethernet chip uniquely)
- does DHCP hand out the IP's (netmask, DNs and Gateway) to the RPI's or
do you manually set a fixed IP per RPi
- manual set IP's do not interfere with the range given to the DHCP?
- do all RPi's and the W7 box have the same netmask, dns and gateway
- you wrote you can ping all 6 rpi's from your W7 box, but can you also
ping the other way around from rpi to w7?
- you wrote that you used the -s option on squeezelite, have you tried
without and let autodiscovery do it's thing to find the LMS?

- could you post the output of the 'ifconfig' command from all six
rpi's? and maybe a screenshot of the W7 ethernet status page that shows
all IP settings (netmask, gateway,....)?
- can you ping all the 6 rpi's from W7 and than run the 'arp -a' command
from w7 and post the output. Also the 'arp -a' output of all RPI's.

I have removed all RPi's and connected only one Rpi to the network and
the server is connected.Rpi ifconfig and arp -a result is this.PFA.

Hi,

Can you, as requested, give us the output of ifconfig command for all 6
RPi's ?

LMS recognizes players per unique MAC, for the moment it looks like all
RPi's share the same MAC. This is something that should not be the case
as the MAC is factory set per ethernet chip and is unique.

thanks.

If the IFCONFIG gives a different MAC something is not okay with the
Squeezeplug setup.

Did you perhaps setup 1 Squeezeplug and then cloned that image to the
other SD Cards for the other RPi's?

I suggest you download a fresh Squeezeplug image and put that on all the
SD Cards before doing any setup.

Code:
--------------------

SLOPTIONS="-n SqueezeLite -o sysdefault:CARD=Audio_1 -a :::0"

SLMAC="1e:f6:d7:be:00:ad"
--------------------


Anyway, when the Squeezeplug software contains a config to force the MAC
for squeezelite to anything else then what the hardware normally uses
then that is very strange (to avoid using words of more expressive
nature).

Its a feature of squeezelite. And strange isnt the right word.
With this feature the communication between lms and the player is
straight otherwise the hardware (in this case rpi) has to theck every
packet " is it for me or the player"

If you got any time learn the iso/osi modell after that we can discuss
the meaning of strange.

and I think it make it possible to run several instances of Squeezelite
on a pc with multiple soundcards.

And I think this is the ONLY time to set the MAC address for
squeezelite.

IMHO setting the MAC address in other cases is prone to error. Consider
for example what happens when you have a wifi dongle plugged in or you
have a Model A/A+.

I tried playing some audio books to try out the new plugin for audio
books that bookmarks where you have read to and restarts where you
stopped to play music.

The mp3 books were encoded at either 22 or 32 instead of 44.1, so they
played fine on my boom but were like chipmunks on the Raspberry pi
players. I solved the problem by re-encoding to 44.1 . I reported my
problem in the thread.

I restored the original audio books to my library and added -u E as a
command on the pCP Squeezelite Settings tab in the Various input box,
saved and restarted then test played the books and they played perfectly
on the pCP with an Allo Piano DAC with a PCM5122.

However, the ES9023 DACs - MamboBerry LS and a Chinese version of the
audiophonics - and the HiFi Berry Digi +, still played like the
chipmonks were reading.
I will investigate further.

That might apply for running LMS and Squeezelite on the same hardware
but that is not the use case of the orginal poster. He has multiple
RPI's with Squeezeplug but only runs the Squeezelite part of and these
need to connect to LMS on a PC. When all those squeezelite''s connect
with the same MAC to LMS it get's confused. Or not?

I can read also :cool:

Just read how often he gets the info to check the squeezelite parameter
-m
like here
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?103316-RPi-Squeezelite-player&p=811744&viewfull=1#post811744

with stopit" i mean dont go in the false direction the right direction
is already written."

And no iso/osi isnt a "same hardware" thing- routing- in most cases
means there are some devices involved.

btw: whats about some one who wants 2 squeezelite sessions on same
Hardware with different audio devices - how he/she/it can use it without
the feature -m from squezelite?

i do really knew what iam writing about. If you want a long discussion
pm me but long discussions didnt help the TO remember he has his skills
from a youtubevideo from the squeezeplug author.

Hi,

it would be very helpful if you post a real screenshot (get yourself
something like putty) from your desktop.
I dont see nothing that may be helpful.

I'm a bit stumped with this.

have you tried resetting the Router and then connect each one seperatly.

is the hdmi out the output you want to use on each player, if so check
the it is correct in squeezelite.


1.reset router

2. connect one raspberry.

3. SSH in as root.

4. at the command line promt, type squeezelite -l

5. make a note of the outputs listed.

at the command line prompt type: nano /etc/default/squeezelite

this will put you in the config file

there will be a green spot flashing in the top left screen, use the
keyboard down key to move to the last two lines, which will look like
this


SLOPTIONS="-n SqueezeLite -o sysdefault:CARD=Audio_1 -a :::0"

SLMAC="1e:f6:d7:be:00:ad"

check that the highlighted words maqtch the output that you want to use,
if not,

you need to replace the highlighted words withe the new ones.

when you have done that,

pres the control key and x key together,
press the y key to accept the changes
then press Esc to take you back to the command line prompt.

Type: *-sudo shutdown -r now-* press the enter key and the pi should
reboot.


6. go to the LMS webgui and select the player you want to listen to.

In the left hand pane click on Extras>Music Source and select the LMS on
your server.

make sure that it all works and plays OK.

Then repeat with another raspeberry, plug it in and see if you can
select it in the webgui, if so repeat the process to check the output is
corrct in sloptions.

i can't think of anything else, I think it must be a network problem.

sorry for the long post.

hope you get it all working.

Could all the RPi's somehow have same Mac address - or the squeezelite
configuration, so it's confusing LMS?

Hi Tcutting,
I have checked that also.but that doesn't have same mac address and
hostname.every RPi is having different mac address and hostname.but same
username(root) and password(nosoup4u) for all RPi.Is this the problem?

Username/password does not matter, can be the same on all your players.

Have you tried with squeezelite -s option on all players to explicit
define the LMS server to connect to instead of autodiscovery by the
players.


Code:
--------------------
squeezelite -s <server>[:<port>] Connect to specified server, otherwise uses autodiscovery to find server

Yes.....but hostname is different.I changed in both the files(/etc/hosts
and /etc/hostname).

or in better words the MAC address from the squeezelite session.

* Just power one rpi on an goto the lms webpage
* klick right bottom "setting"
* choose 2.nd tab "players"
* copy the data should be something like mines..

Code:
--------------------
Player Model: SqueezeLite
Player Type: squeezelite
Player IP Address: 192.168.199.11
Player MAC Address: 00:00:00:ff:fc:61
--------------------


* power the rpi off
* power another one on
* same as above
* is the last line different or not?

i dont know where to look at the pi cause i am using a real raspbian
with custom setup nothing to download from.

if the mac adress shown in the lms webpage are the same then you have to
find the startup script and change the letters / digits after the -m
parameter.

Squeezelite can take a command line parameter to specify the "MAC"
address that it tells LMS that it is using.
Could be worth checking the script that is starting Squeezelite to see
if it is getting it from somewhere else ... perhaps the defaults fails.
