Hello advanced users friends

For my plugin project, I will need to cross compile sources to provide different binaries on a maximum of machines with different architectures and thus propose multi-arch plugin
The sources of “Bliss analyser” by cdrummond are intended to be compiled by RUST and the cross compilation can be complicated if you don’t own the target machine.

To help me
Install dependencies
apt install -y clang libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libavfilter-dev libavdevice-dev pkg-config

Install rust on your volumio
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

download sources
wget https://github.com/CDrummond/bliss-analyser/archive/refs/tags/0.2.1.zip

Unzip it
miniunzip 0.2.1.zip

Place in the good folder
cd bliss-analyser-0.2.1

Compile
source "$HOME/.cargo/env"
cargo build --release

Send me a message or put a link (gdrive,wetransfer…etc) to send me the binary and tell me your architecture, you’ll find the file to send in /target/release/ folder under the name of “bliss-analyser”

Thanks in advance

Shouldn’t you not just deal with this in the install.sh script, of your plugin?

[chourmovs_vs]

I thought about it but the process of installing rust and compile source is somewhat heavier and longer than average plugin installation work, especially on low CPU machine
Another way for me could be to deal with rust builtin target cross compilation but it’s more risky in term of quality and I have to master the tool a way more than I do today

[Wheaten]

Just mentioning it, If people decide to have LMS on a low CPU, the price is waiting for the compile.
Otherwise you’ll have a lot of work keep everything up to date. Architecture will be reasonable stable but rev’s. won’t.

[balbuze]

You have to notice that compiling something in a plugin install or after, prevent it to be one day in the store…
So compile all you need and include it in the plugin or link it in install.sh to download it when installing.
The max size for the final zip is <10Mo
For more information, have a look at the plugin Dev doc : https://developers.volumio.com/

[chourmovs_vs]

Balbuze I sent you a PM and push a pull request on git (probably too anticipated), don’t hesitate to be rude if I am completely wrong on my whole process or if you need more explanations
Thank you for your answers and indications

[balbuze]

I don’t use to be rude !
BTW I’ll have look asap! (this weekend…)
Thanks!

Updated to freshly released official LMS 8.3.0

Plugin submited in test/dev section of plugin manager.
Thx to Balbuze for his nice support to fix undefined ip in wlan0 network

i have installed your dstmmix 1.0.1 on Rpi 4. Everything ok.
I installed Saiyato squeezelite player 1.1.6
your LMS need a lot of time to find player
but then the sound is very good
in other room I have squeezebox Touch which connect to your LMS perfectly.

[chourmovs_vs]

Hi. No need of squeezelite, i invite you to try local player plugin within LMS to attack directly your soundcard. As explained before: volumio + fusiondsp to manage your soundcard, and LMS to serve music and mix it in a very reliable way. This is the best combo from far.

[zlaja5]

yes, you are right.
I didnt know that local player is the plugin of LM server.
Thanks for help.

This topic is intended for Logitech Media Server plugin.
If you want support on dstmmix, move to the correct topic.

[PLUGIN] DstmMix

Hi everyone, Dstmmix plugin available for testing. You can find it in dev plugin manager section Based on the original work from Saiyato and Bliss plugin by Craig Drummond The goal of the development of this plugin was initially to recover functionalities for me essential for a network player on my volumio Primo, knowing that I was stuck with volumio by design and that my main musical use was spotify and Don’t stop the music plugin on Logitech media server. The initial activity has consisted …

RPi Linux volumio 5.10.92-v7+ #1514 SMP Mon Jan 17 17:36:39 GMT 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux

I tried installing the LMS plugin via the plugin interface but installation failed with only this text:

Nothing more. However afterward it shows up as an installed plugin, but inactive. There’s an uninstall button but it can’t uninstall because the plugin can’t be stopped “in a fashionable manner Error undefined” It can’t be stopped because it can’t be started “in a fashionable manner.”

I can remove it only by deleting its directory under /data/plugin

Anyone know a fix? Anyone know how I can at least see what’s failing? I can’t find a log.

Seems the LMS plugin are generating issues, you can also opt to install LMS along Volumio.

Installing LMS along Volumio

Created a new topic to avoid spamming on the LMS-Docker plugin You can always remove the plugin and install LMS manually. (you’ll loose all settings and need to configure LMS again) Factory reset upgraded to Volumio V3.429 sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl wget https://downloads.slimdevices.com/LogitechMediaServer_v8.3.0/logitechmediaserver_8.3.0_all.deb sudo dpkg -i logitechmediaserver_8.3.0_all.deb rm logitechmediaserver_8.3.0_a…
