Driver for Logitech Media Server

Hi janus.  Sorry for the late reply.

Looks like the Address is in use already.

Are you running two neeo drivers at the same time?

Hi janus.

I assume you are using a Windows OS.
This version of the SDK has a problem with the autodetection of the neeo brain.

Go to neeoDriver/neeoDriver.js and change line 29 to the correct IP displayed in you Neeo App or set the env variable.

const brainIp = "192.168.0.xx";//process.env.BRAINIP;

PS: I made some updates (Current Playlist, Music Library and Favorites as lists) to my driver 4 month ago, but then I had no time to finish them.

Do you mean the now active display on the home screen? It is working in my configuration...

The configuration of the music library (Adding folders the library) can be done via the webinterface of the Logitech Media Server. Just go to: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9000/ insert the ip address of you Server.

Hi janus.

There is only a little mistake in the configuration. It should be an array of JSON Object with a name field. Like this:

// Set Favorites
config.squeeze.favorites = [
{
        name : 'daily mix 3'
},{
        name : 'Billboard Hot 10'
},{
        name : 'Chill Mode: On'
}];

The names of the favorites have to be the same as configured in the Logitech Media Server (via web interface).
If you change the values in config.js, you have to newly add (delete and add) the device to you remote. Otherwise the new favorites are not shown as Shortcuts in your remote.

Regarding adding (playing) music library via NEEO: At the moment it's not possible the play a certain track/album of the library. There are two shortcuts. With "Play random album" a random album is loaded in the playlist and only this album is played. With "Play random tack" the whole library is loaded in the playlist. Working on it.

Regarding album cover: Are the images displayed in the web interface? The driver is requesting the image directly from the LMS. I have sorted my library by hand and added the image to the ID3 Tag of each mp3/flac file with mp3tag. A very tedious and long-term process 😉.

I think you can also paste an image in the album folder. You can find more info here: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Album_Artwork

Hi Ben

Sorry for the delay, I didn't have the time to take a closer look at the error.

I had the similar problem this week. The Error "listen EADDRINUSE 0.0.0.0:6336" means, that the address/port the driver is trying to use is already taken. The problem with my setup was that an instance of the driver was still running. I couldn't stop it, so I did a restart on my Udoo (Similar to Raspberry Pie).
Then the driver(s) where running without problems.

If you still have problems, just let me know.

No, I am Austrian. 😉🇦🇹

Hi janus I just pushed an update of the driver to GitHub.

The album art should now be working, for currently playing cover and the covers in the favorite directory.

Please let me know if you still have issues.

Hi janus
I also noticed some issues with the music library. Only the first 64 entries where loaded. I have done some fixes and optimizations here.

The current playlist directory also made some problems. My old solution was kind of slow and for long playlist (> 100 entries) it took too long and timed out. I've also optimized this feature.

Please let me know if you still have issues with the Chinese songs or if it is working now.

Hi janus, sorry for the delay. I also noticed this issue, but had no time to take a closer look.

The error message I get is COMPONENTNAME_NOT_FOUND. Do you get the same error message?

I've tried to fix this problem, but haven't found a solution jet. The curious thing is that it's working on my windows machine (development) but not working on my linux machine.

Maybe this helps to solve your problem: https://planet.neeo.com/t/36p2pj/componentname_not_found-when-sending-update
