@semla: yes, that's a good observation. Docker and Snap are very similar in that they both provide Tizonia inside of a confined environment, and in both cases, tizonia has to talk to the PulseAudio server that is outside of that environment, so in both cases, security makes Tizonia's work more difficult.

also, PulseAudio is designed to be integrated into the desktop environment, and the client applications are supposed to discover the location of the server, via X11 properties. So sometimes you will notice that the Snap or the docker container work under one DE and not others..

Juan A. Rubio

@juanrubio

so in your case, you are trying to run Tizonia without Desktop Environment, and using the Snap package. These two things combined makes the your use case more interesting.

Tizonia should be able to run in your scenario, possibly without changing a line code, but it will take some more time to figure out, cofiguration-wise. I'm also interested in your use case, so I'd like to help you to get it working. It will be a good learning for me as well.

Hey guys.. I recently got an e-mail from Google about closing their GoogleMusic later on this year.. This made me sad but.. oh well, nothing I can do about anyway. My question is - will Tizonia support YouTube Music in the future?

Juan A. Rubio

@juanrubio

@evilblade666: Hi, yes that's correct, Google Music is being discontinued and will cease to exists later this year. Tizonia relies on the gmusicapi project to interact with GMusic. I believe the gmusicapi maintainer has no plans to migrate to YouTube, but there seems to be other people trying to create a similar project. If they succeed, it is very likely that we will integrate

this into Tizonia at some point.

Hello there! I tried Tizonia and absolutely loved it. But afterwards, I reinstalled Linux Mint 19.3 and could not make it work anymore... So sad. I spent hours looking all around the internet, trying things... But nothing worked. Is there a posibility that anyone could help me?

I'll paste the error that appears at the terminal

Never mind, I managed to get it to work! Did so many things that I can't recall them... sorry. Thanks for the app!!

Juan A. Rubio

@juanrubio

@gkildegaard_gitlab : Hi Gustavo, good to hear that you've got it sorted!

@ptaczek

hello ppl

does anybody know whether a Bandcamp support is possible/planned?

Juan A. Rubio

@juanrubio

Hello, it's not planned but it would be possible/easy if there was a python wrapper that gave access to the Bandcamp API. Do you know if there is one?

@martin-morris

Hello, I'm looking for a bit of support getting tizonia working - is this the right place?

I'm getting what looks like a fairly standard error, which is:

tizonia exiting (OMX_ErrorInsufficientResources).

[OMX.Aratelia.audio_renderer.alsa.pcm:port:0]
[OMX_ErrorInsufficientResources]

Juan A. Rubio

@juanrubio

Hi @martin-morris , you are in the right place! :-)

what OS are you using?. Also, which command are you issuing?

martin-morris

@martin-morris

I'm running a headless Ubuntu 20.04 LTS machine, with this command:

tizonia --plex-server-base-url 'http://localhost:32400' --plex-auth-token '<token>' --plex-audio-tracks deutsche

It connects fine, but dies when it gets to the playing stage. Happens both in run levels 3 and 5.

Juan A. Rubio

@juanrubio

Yes, something is preventing Tizonia access to the ALSA device. To understand what's preventing it, can you post the debug logs either here or on a Github issue?. See this comment for reference on how to do that:

Hi. I am making a Pi Zero W based conversion of an old portable stereo to a pi radio of sorts. Long story short, it is meant to be able to play some predefined playlists from Spotify. So far Tizonia looks like a great option, but I have a problem - it takes even 30 seconds from 'tizonia --spotify-tracks ozzy' to get the music going. I checked ping on my network (8.8.8.8 responds in 20ms to the pi zero). Speedtest shows 18mbit down, 25mbit up. I checked with htop, and while CPU goes to 100% momentarily, it drops within 2 seconds. It hangs on [Track search] for 25+ seconds and then spits out the list of tracks instantly and starts playing.

I checked on my Surface Pro, Ubuntu via WSL2, and it works much faster

I have no clue what the bottleneck is though.

Juan A. Rubio

@juanrubio

Hi @AndrzejTunkiel , one way to see what an application is doing is to use the strace command, e.g. strace -r tizonia --spotify-artist "alice in chains", that might give you an idea of what's going on...

having said that, I've been recently observing that Tizonia is being penalized by the Spotify API rate limits

see here: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/#rate-limiting

I have not spent yet the time that this issue requires, but I'm experiencing this problem on my development workstation

Juan A. Rubio

@juanrubio

when the rate limit is reached, there will be a wait time applied to subsequent requests, I have seen 30s or even 1 min waits.. which are incurred when the application is retrieving the search results from the Spotify servers, once the playlist is ready, changing songs is quick as normal

Andrzej Tunkiel

@AndrzejTunkiel

I think the rate limiting is the issue. strace did not show anything interesting while waiting, and actually right now it worked quite fast

I think I will just have to rip some songs from Spotify and use mplayer. The radio is for my 4 year old and he has no patience to wait 30 sec ;)

Anyhow, thanks for looking at it. Tizonia is really great and I am sure I will be using it more for other projects

Juan A. Rubio

@juanrubio

I suspected that that would be the issue. Yes, on the pi zero, nothing will be faster that mplayer :-) Good luck with the project

@SolarAquarion

@juanrubio i'm wondering about pandora

pandora/pandora plus support

Sylvia van Os

@TheLastProject

Hey, I've been looking for a music player that can play both local files and Spotify, like, shuffling them together. Is there any way I can get Tizonia to do this? Like, use more than one source at the same time to pick songs from?

sogens

@sogens

hello all im having an issue with tizonia It was working fine before but now when I try to play music on spotify it gets to the part where it says "[Spotify] [Cache]: '/var/tmp/tizonia-root-spotify-username'" and doesnt do anythinng are there any obvious reasons for this ?

Juan A. Rubio

@juanrubio

@SolarAquarion Yes, Pandora is in my todo list. However, I faced a technical problem (lack of a suitable mp4 demuxing library) that I have not managed to resolve yet.

@TheLastProject The feature that you are referring to is not available in Tizonia today. It is however, something that is planned for the future (Tizonia headless interface).

@sogens I think you are most likely hitting the same problem discussed a few days back in this chat. That is, the Spotify rate limit. I think this is becoming a more prevalent problem as more Tizonia users keep finding this. I am planning to make this issue a priority for the next version of Tizonia (caching of Spotify API requests to reduce the chances of hitting the rate limits)

Hi, guys. My home internet is down for a time here, so I'm listening for my local music and I've noticed a thing.. So the command is tizonia /path/to/local/music/folder/ -r -s Well, it plays and shuffles my entire music allright, BUT! it shuffles it the same way EVERY time! :) Only when I modify the contents of a folder by adding/removing something - then the playlist becomes different :) Can I do something to make this shuffled playlist different every time I run the command?

Solomon Choina

@SolarAquarion

@juanrubio https://github.com/lieff/minimp4

how about that one

Juan A. Rubio

@juanrubio

@evilblade666 : Hi!, thanks for reporting this issue. I've created a bug for it: tizonia/tizonia-openmax-il#756
The solution is super easy, it just requires adding a couple of lines of code in a cpp file. If you would like to contribute, please see the GitHub issue. A patch would be very welcome!

Juan A. Rubio

@juanrubio

@SolarAquarion : Yes!, thanks for bringing minimp4 to my attention. It definitely looks worth a try. I'll give it a go sometime in September. Pandora is a service that I've been wanting to add to Tizonia for a long time!

evilblade666

@evilblade666

@juanrubio thanks.. I'd like to contribute, but I'm not much into programming, sorry..

Juan A. Rubio

@juanrubio

@evilblade666 That's cool. Reporting an issue also counts as a contribution!
