Support thread for: PG3x v3.2.22 (April 16th, 2024)

[bmercier]

Hello everyone,

This is the support thread for PG3x v3.2.22.

These features were planned for 3.2.21 but did not make it to the package, so they are released here as part of 3.2.22.

Installed and the new features are working, thanks Benoit!

What directory are the Audio player MP3 files stored in, can they be downloaded and saved?

They are stored in the node server folder under "data". They can't be downloaded through the UI, but you could access it through SCP. They are included in the PG3 backup.

What would be the syntax, and directory location, for accessing and downloading the MP3 files. I'd like to save the files created by the TTS. option

I'm not sure where TTS files are located. I was referring to the location where the upload of files is done, and that is in the "data" folder of the node server. 

So, the complete path would be /var/polyglot/pg3/ns/<NS Folder>/data

<NS Folder> is <uuid>_<slot>

The only exception would be if a plugin is installed in developer mode. The data folder will be where the plugin is being developed.

The command to download everything would be something like this:
scp -r root@eisy.local:/var/polyglot/pg3/ns/<Ns Folder>/data/* /local/path

Thank you. I'm getting a "no such directory" response. I'm not using developer mode. Is the slot the one used for the audio player?

Depends where you installed it. You choose the slot when you install.

SSH to your eiys, and use:
ls -l /var/polyglot/pg3/ns

This will show you the list of node server's home folders.

When I use "/var/polyglot/pg3/ns/<NS Folder>/data" I'm able to get to the directory but I get a permission denied. So I can't see the data. How do I get past that?

You need to be root. You can use sudo for that.

Either:

sudo ls -l /var/polyglot/pg3/ns/<NS Folder>/data

Or you can go interactive using: sudo -i

Is there a way to backup and restore the Audio Player data directory (just the MP3 files) without doing a full system restore.

If not, could that be an added feature for the next firmware update?

There is not a built-in way to backup that folder, and there are no plans to do it at this time.

Does this come from an upload you do from PG3? If so, just save that zip file somewhere when you make an upload.

[Techman]

I was thinking in the terms of both an MP3 upload and TTS generated MP3s, the latter which can't easily be saved.

If this does not change too much, you also have the option of a regular PG3 backup.

Prior to uploading my MP3 files I deleted all the default sounds.  When I did the 5.8.3 update I had to restart the audio player as it wouldn't populate and it reinstalled all the default MP3 files which I then had to delete again.  I thought there might be an easy workaround.

@bmercier Is there a way to restart a plugin on a schedule or program from IoX?  Like a program, IF NodeServer is Disconnected THEN restart NodeServer.

No, unfortunately not possible.
