openweather plugin ?

[therealdb]

Can’t you just install ubuntu (it’s easy with windows subsystem for Linux , if you’re a windows user) and try it?

I will just remove this part completely and give instructions to manually install the daemon. People using openluup are usually able to do it and I’ll prefer this any day over a script messing with my config files.

For this sort of thing (also like mounting file systems) I do this in Lua Startup. Should be easy enough to check whether it’s already running (eg. Is the socket in use.)

Totally in agreement as per:

..run on a RasPi without fiddling around with say "/etc/rc.local"

This makes some sense also:

... I do this in Lua Startup

Well it would obviously require a major rework of some of the code but some users do find installing stuff manually not so easy - including me at times! Something to perhaps think about.I really want my Sonos stuff running under openLuup.

[akbooer]

You don’t need the proxy in order to run the Sonos plugin...?

[a-lurker]

No you don't need it but it helps makes the Sonos plugin more responsive. Speaking of which, it would be good to see the Sonos plugin in GitHub and in the AltApp store.

Isn't rigpapa new version already on Github?

[a-lurker]

Yep - you're right - it's in GitHub. My memory is playing tricks on me again. I read that rigpapa had it available in the AltApp store but I can't see it there - that's the bit that's missing.

Ping him, it's been very critical about Ezlo lately, so maybe it's willing to fix it, if necessary.

Speaking of this, you can just detect openluup and stop doing the magical thing. Remember openluup can run on windows and Macos too and I'm not sure daemon could be so generalized.

In response to your question on another thread, you can start the upnp proxy from any lua platform in reality. The specific script you have for openWRT is specific only because it uses init.d and specific paths to find the daemon.

For my installation the first step was to install lxp:

sudo luarocks install LuaExpat

This assumes you already have luarocks installed. Now I run luajit instead of lua5.1 but you can run either:

luajit /etc/cmh-ludl/L_UPnPProxyDaemon.lua

or

lua5.1 /etc/cmh-ludl/L_UPnPProxyDaemon.lua

This will start another instance of lua and the proxy daemon. You could even start it within openLuup as part of the startup lua I believe.
To autostart it as a service you can just create the following service file in the /etc/systemd/system folder:

[Unit]
Description=upnp
Wants=network.target
After=network.target
Before=screen.service

[Service]
Type=oneshot
WorkingDirectory=/etc/cmh-ludl
ExecStart=luajit /etc/cmh-ludl/L_UPnPProxyDaemon.lua -d
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I called this file upnp.service

You then just have to enable it and start it.

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable upnp && sudo systemctl start upnp

checking status:

Edit: As expected, the UPnP proxy replaced the the polling mechanism of the plugin and thereby dropped openLuup's CPU utilization by 0.1% from 1.4% to 1.3%.
