CLI to get stream rate, source ?

Is there any command to get (PcP):
- the radio name ?
- the actual stream rate (from radio (ex 192kpbs) or USB storage) (tried songinfo bitrate ?) ?
- the actual source (radio, USB or Airplay) ?

Thanks

No.

This is all in the LMS server, you need to research that. Using dev tools on your browser while watching the LMS web interface, you can see the commands being used. But they will be using the jsonrpc interface.

Try somehting like

xx:yy:bd:2b:52:zz status - 1 tags:uBIrT

Look at the documentation for the meaning of the tags.

Not all information is available about all playing items.
For example, sample rate is often not available for radio stations/streaming sources whereas bit rate is usually available.

Radio name has no real meaning within LMS (they are usually marked as "remote" by LMS) - it is often an URL tagged as a Favorites or a Menu item. The data supplied by the station or the plugin (e.g. BBC Sounds) when streaming is all that available for streaming sources. Files may be different.

I made some tests wiht some tags:
r give bitrate: most of the time it's 0. Rarely it's the real value.
T give: most of the time 44100 (standard CD sampling rate, who give this value ? Pcp or the radio station??) ( 48000 sometimes). If the tag r give the real value no value for T.

Is it possible to get the always the real value ? Because for all stations,
on the LCD iafter pressing "+", choose "Tuneln radio Options", and "Choose stream". All streams available are displayed with the sampling rate. Most of the time it's 128, 256 or 320kbps.
How to get this value because it's the real value and it's a good quality indicator.

Thanks

Sometime the displayed bitrate is a string created by a plugin or an associated metadata helper and so may not be "correct" as plugin can created anything.

Just to clarify terminology. Sampling rate (tag 'T') is the number of samples per sec (i.e. Hz) which will normally be 44100, 48000, 96000 etc.
Bit rate (tag 'r') is the data rate of the audio data stream and will be in bits per/sec (i.e bps or kbps).

Code:

my %tagMap = (
	# Tag    Tag name             Token            Track method         Track field

Quite frequently, these informations are not available to plugins, so they are incorrect or missing.

I’ve tried to make them available for most streaming services and plugins can use that when they use the built-in remote scanner but they don’t/can’t always.

For example, in some of my more exotics plugins, it’s adts frames which are directly received and these can be read directly by non-SB players. If the metatdata does not give those informations, then you have to unpack at least one adts frame and I can understand why not everybody does it.

Thanks philippe_44 and bpa !

I was wondering if it was possible for the plugin to get this value (bit rate) through a backdoor because this value exists (on the LCD press "+", choose "Tuneln radio Options", and "Choose stream".) ?
Thanks

No.

The info from the UI is part of the UI - plugins (or internal LMS for native streams) provides info which is stored as part of a LMS track/song object as well as metadata when playing. The tags are used to retrieve specific data from the track/Song object.

Please give specific example of URL where info through "more" menu (or default WebGUI LHS when playing) is better than what is provided through tags.

edit:

As you can see from code snippet the bitrate (tag 'r') is a string which is composed to be "pretty".

Code:

r => sub { Slim::Schema::Track->buildPrettyBitRate( $_[0]->{'tracks.bitrate'}, $_[0]->{'tracks.vbr_scale'} ) },

JSON request are the same the CLI just packedged using HTTP.

To see what JSON requests the Material UI is using. Open the Material UI with the command below and all JSON request/response will be logged to the Browser Web developer console.

Code:

http://localhost:9000/material/?debug=json

Replace localhost with IP address of LMS server if necessary

Example below of playing a RadioFrance station and looking at "More"

From Safari
I can't connect http://localhost:9000/material/?debug=json (of course with my LMS IP)
but http://localhost:9000 display LMS.

I trust it but when the value is not 0 ! I thought that the TuneIn value was the right value! (see my answer below).
Again for me the goal was to have a "streaming quality indicator" !

IIRC that menu comes from TuneIn - who is NOT the
streaming service. The streaming service should know better.

I thought Tunein was the streaming service !

"Antenne Bayern top40" gives 192kbps CBR. What does CBR mean ??

To resume: if I understood well ;-)
If bitrate = 0 this value is not given by the streaming service and we canot know this value.

Thanks !

Have you installed the Material plugin ?

No. They are a directory service (they redirect the player to the real broadcasters) but can also provide additional metadata (to encourage users to go through Tunein) - not always correct.

MP3 characteristic - wouldn't pay attention to it - rarely correct. Used to be important when internet speeds were measured in kbps.
CBR = Constant Bitrate
VBR = Variable Bitrate

No!! I haven't tried all plugins. For a novice it is not always easy to know what they are used for.
The less plugins there are, the faster the startup time?

Just installed now the Material and works. But sorry for my lack of knowledge where is "all JSON request/response will be logged to the Browser Web developer console" ?
