Squeezelite: How to get the sample rate of the stream ???

[bidule]

Hello,

Probably very basic, but I spent hours looking all around and couldn't find the info.

LMS is displaying the stream bitrate so the information should be easy to get
Squeezelite with the resmple option also know the original sample rate as it can resample in sync mode

I can get the hardware sample rate info from alsa but what I want to know is the stream sample rate before it is upsampled
What is the command line ?

Thank you.

This is usually part of LMS "more info" when track is playing.

If a stream is downsampled - it will be because LMS has decided what is the maximum rate which all players in a sync group can support and when synced - resampling will be done by LMS not the player..

activate squeezelite's logging e.g.

squeezelite -d all=info ...

it will output resampling info:

[08:54:48.785042] resample_newstream:189 resampling from 44100 -> 48000

[bidule]

Thank you to both of you for taking care.

However, I'm not sure that I was clear with my question.

I use squeezelite with the resample option activated on a Pi.
Squeezelite upsample fine at the max Sync rate of my DAC that is 44K1 -> 176.4K and 48K -> 192K
This I can be sure of, as I get the Squeezelite output stream info from the following :
Playing a 44K1 file:

# cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params

access: MMAP_INTERLEAVED
format: S32_LE
subformat: STD
channels: 2
rate: 176400 (176400/1)
period_size: 706
buffer_size: 2824

Playing a web radio (48K)

cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params

access: MMAP_INTERLEAVED
format: S32_LE
subformat: STD
channels: 2
rate: 192000 (192000/1)
period_size: 768
buffer_size: 3072

And here is the result of

squeezelite -d all=info

I'm sure that the Squeezelite Iput rate information is availlabe somehow as Squeezelite knows at which rate to do the upsampling.
So my question is which command line will give me the Squeezelite INPUT Sample rate ?

Thank you for your help.

This doesn't look like you have actually played something

There's no such thing as a fixed input sample rate.
squeezelite indicates to LMS which sample rates are supported (MaxSampleRate). If a file's sample rate is <= MaxSampleRate, it's sent as is to squeezelite, which will re-sample or not, depending on the output device's capabilities. If a file's sample rate is > MaxSampleRate, LMS will transcode before transmitting it to squeezelite.

The OP is forcing Squeezelite to upsample though.

Thank you Roland,

Well, you are absolutely right but I can't get in the same time squeezelite playing music and squeezelite -d all=info

There's no such thing as a fixed input sample rate.

That's again absolutely right, that is why I have my files upsampled from 44K1 to 176k4 and web radios upsampled from 48k to 192K.

There's no such thing as a fixed input sample rate.

That is not my point.

Squeezelite indicates to LMS which sample rates are supported (MaxSampleRate). If a file's or STREAM sample rate is <= MaxSampleRate, it's sent as is to squeezelite, which will re-sample or not, depending on the output device's capabilities. If a file's sample rate is > MaxSampleRate, LMS will transcode before transmitting it to squeezelite.

That's exact, so my question is still open, how can I get that incoming file/stream bitrate information from a comand line ?

Lets say I ask for a Deezer track, LMS will stream that track to Squeezelite as is.
Squeezelite will upsample it.
What I want to know from a Linux command line is the original stream sample rate on the fly.
I'm sure that information exist, I just don't know how to get it.

Yes bpa, that is exactly what I want to get from a Linux command line.
Is it possible ? and how ?

I think you'll have to use CLI (i.e. curl with JSON) . I don't know the right command offhand.

[bpa]

No need for JSON.

From WebUI Help / technical Information / The Logitech server command line interface

Status command shoud giev the info

 <playerid> status <start> <itemsPerResponse> <taggedParameters>

The "status" query returns the complete status about a given player, including the current playlist. Set the <start> parameter to "-" to get the playlist data starting from the current song.
In this "curent" mode and if repeat is on, the server will attempt to return <itemsPerResponse> elements, by repeating the playlist at most once, unless shuffling is on and the server is configured to re-shuffle the playlist at each loop (in which case it is impossible to predict the song following the last one in the playlist until this last song has finished playing).
Similarly, in the "curent" mode, if repeat is one, only the current song is returned, regardless of the value of <itemsPerResponse>.
Clients can subscribe to "status" queries, so that the query results are automatically returned asynchronously whenever a change occurs to a player. Please note this mechanism is completely distinct from the "listen" and "subscribe" commands described elsewhere in this document.

Accepted tagged parameters:
Tag 	Description
tags 	Determines which tags are returned. Each returned tag is identified by a letter (see command "songinfo" for a list of possible fields and their identifying letter). The default tags value for this query is "gald". In addition to the tags supported by "songinfo" there's the special "DD" tag, which would return no track information, but the total duration of the current playlist only.
subscribe 	This optional parameter controls the subscription to the player status. Only one status subscription is possible per player and connection.
Subscription is enabled by using this parameter with a positive integer. It is disabled by using "-". When the subscription is enabled, normal "status" queries (i.e. not using the "subscribe" parameter) can be performed and will have no effect on the subscription in place.
When enabled, the "status" request is automatically re-generated on player change (and sent asynchronously to the CLI client). The number indicates the time interval in seconds between automatic generations in case nothing happened to the player in the interval. Use "0" to disable this last feature and only be notified on player or playlist changes. .
