Squeezelite player for Kodi. Transform Kodi in a Squeezebox player with this addon. It started as something for my own personal use but I figured with a few additional touches it can be usefull to others too. Altough Logitech stopped producing the Squeezeboxes several years ago, the platform is still very popular and in active development by the opensource community. Sure, systems like Sonos and Heos might be superior in ease of use but they're also (in my opinion) very expensive. I wanted to have a way to have multi-room music with an ocassional need of syncing audio between players using my existing components such as Kodi Intel NUC's and raspberry pi's, including support of my Hi-Def audio tracks on disk and my Spotify playlists. The Squeezebox setup with the Logitech Media Server is perfectly capable of doing all that, including support for a wide range of other devices in the mix such as Airplay devices. You can have a combination of original squeezeboxes, pc's with Squeezelite (software player for Squeezebox), Airplay devices and even Chromecast devices and let them all play your favorite tunes. There are even some nice projects available to turn a Raspberry Pi into a squeezebox like PiCoreAudio and Max2Play. For all additional rooms such as kitchen, outside and my office, I use headless Pi's with PiCoreAudio connected to some actve speakers. Offcourse in the living room and bedroom I have Kodi running as my all-in-one media solution and I didn't want to add another box in there just to play audio. That's where Squeezelite comes in play, a nice piece of software that you can install on about any platform to make it play the sounds from the Squeezebox server (Logitech Media Server). Squeezelite on it's own does it's job very great and you can install it side to side with Kodi on your setup but I was missing the interaction with kodi. Especially the "Now Playing" screen so I can watch some artwork and artist info while track are playing. That's when I decided to create something to fill that gap so I could have the benefits of the centralized audio control of LMS combined with the great Kodi software. I realize there's already an addon for Kodi, named Xsqueeze but it's rather outdated and it's based on custom dialogs which is something I didn't want (personal taste, the Xsqueeze addon is other than that great software offcourse). So, how does this work ? At first I tried to feed Kodi with the audiostream directly from the Squeezeserver by using the Squeezelite source but I finally gave up on that as I couldn't get it stable enough, especially when sync comes in play. Offcourse doable maybe somewhere in the future but it will require a fair amount of work and tight integration into the Kodi source code. To have something ready sooner I had the idea to just "trick" Kodi that it's playing something and instead use the default, well known and well working Squeezelite software to handle the playback directly to the sound device. And that is exactly what this add-on does, it feeds Kodi with a 100% silent PCM audio stream so that the "Now Playing" screen will show up whenever Squeezelite is pumping audio to the speakers. It's basically just one big workaround but it works pretty great. As soon as you start Kodi, this addon will auto start Squeezelite in the background and it will poll the server for changes every second. Everything is supported like playlist handling, skipping tracks, pause, stop, syncing etc.

            Unable to delete .mp3 file due to javaFx MediaPlayer
            Asked 2022-Mar-20 at 00:05

            I am working on my Hhighschool capstone. It is a program where the user can download songs from the internet and store them in an organized manner and play them. My program must contain a feature where the user may delete a specified .mp3 file by simply pressing a button. I have tried the .dispose() method on the MediaPlayer, and then trying to delete the file which doesn't seem to be working. It creates an error saying that the .mp3 file is still being used. How would I stop Javafx from accessing the file? I have searched online for answers but none of them have answers which fit my needs.

            Thank you to @Slaw for providing a solution to my problem. To solve my issue, I created a deletionQueue ArrayList which would hold the paths to the files I would like to delete. Once .dispose() is used on the MediaPlayer, after a certain amount of time has passed, those files would be automatically deleted.

            How do I make a media player control notification in Gtk?
            Asked 2022-Mar-09 at 21:39

            In Rhythmbox (GNOME's music player), when it's playing music, you can open the notifications panel and control the music playback from there. Here's a screenshot. The playback controls are bordered in orange; they have a little music note icon:

            This is what I want to make; the media playback controls. Note that, while it is in the notifications panel, it's not technically a notification, because it never pops up on the screen, and you can't make it go away. In the screenshot, you can see the actual notification, which I don't want to make, below the controls.

            I know that there's a Gio.Notification, but it's not quite what I need (unless I'm very much mistaken). I searched in Gio, Gdk, and Gtk, but I didn't find anything. I also searched, among other things, [gtk] media control and [gtk] media notification on Stack Overflow, but I didn't find anything there either.

            Thanks to the help of BobMorane, I've now figured out that Rhythmbox uses libnotify for its player controls. I know how to create actions using Notify.Notification, and I can make them have images, etc., but what I still haven't figured out is how to:

            1. Make the notification so that it can't be closed;
            2. Make it so that the action buttons are next to the icon and text, not under;
            3. Keep the notification on top of all the others in the notifications panel.

            Using Python's help() function to look at gi.repository.Notify.Notification, the only methods I see that seem to have potential are add_action() (particularly its user_data parameter) and set_hint() (and its variants). Could these be used to achieve my goal?

            How do I make a media-control "notification" in Gtk with Python, as explained above?

            ANSWER

            Answered 2022-Mar-09 at 21:22

            I think the technology used by Rhytmbox to acheive this is MPRIS (Media Player Remote Interfacing Specification). As they say on their we page:

            The Media Player Remote Interfacing Specification (MPRIS) is a standard D-Bus interface which aims to provide a common programmatic API for controlling media players.

            It provides a mechanism for discovery, querying and basic playback control of compliant media players, as well as a tracklist interface which is used to add context to the active media item.

            In Rhythmbox, this is implemented as a core plug-in. The code is pretty complicated, but basically implements the MPRIS specification. This implementation then exposes some information and controls out to other applications which want to control the Rhythmbox, like the Gnome Shell in your case. If you deactivate the MPRIS plug-in, the "notification player" will no longer work.

            In GNOME Shell, you can see they have their own MPRIS module as well (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/blob/main/js/ui/mpris.js), which is used to:

            1. Respond to player notifications and display information (album art, title, buttons, etc).
            2. Send notifications to the player (ex.: pause the song).

            In this module, the formatting of the buttons and all that stuff comes into life as well. This means that on your part (the player's designer), you should have no UI formatting to do (you don't have control over this, GNOME Shell has). What you need to do is expose what is needed by the GNOME Shell by implementing the MPRIS interfaces.

            (As a side note: the calendar.js file is the one implementing the notification list, and you can see it uses MPRIS "notifications", which it puts on top of standard notifications.)

            There exist Python libraries to do so, such as Mopidy-MPRIS, bit their support for the GNOME Shell seems not to be working at the moment. You may have to look for D-Bus related libraries on FreeDesktop.org. There exists many bindings, with some in Python.

            I hope this points you in the right direction.

            I could not reproduce your issue.

            Your issue is environmental, exactly what it is I could not say.

            I advise creating a new project in idea and following the same steps I did and it should work as long as you have the file path correct.

            These are the steps I followed to get allow the media to play with your sample app:

            1. Created a new JavaFX project in Idea with OpenJDK 17.0.2 and JavaFX 17.0.2 on Windows 11.

            2. Copy-and-pasted your JavaFX sample code into the new project.

            3. Followed the instructions to add media handling to the project:

            4. Downloaded your mp3 and wav files.

            5. Set the file path to each in turn.

            6. Ran the app and hit the play button for each file.

            Both the MP3 and WAV files played without problem.
