Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Last.Fm connection problem
Hello, I live in the Netherlands and love last.fm. I had a real difficult time to get myself learning the SBD to: 1. how I have/want my network configured 2. get last.fm working. I only managed to get last.fm working via the webui while using squeezescrobbler. This 'wonderfull' SBC is only usefull to forward the next song and send 'loves' to last.fm. And it still doesn't work always. Many times last.fm just stops and I have to walk to my pc and restart via the webui . Oh, forget to mention, I am a paid customer of last.fm. Yesterday arrived my next package: a SB3. I was flabbergasted. It worked OUT OF THE BOX: It recognized my network on instant and it was completely obvious to me how to explain the SB3 to use wireless/ethernet/dhcp/static and the SB3 was LISTENING where the SBD absolutely didn't WANT to listen to my orders. The SBD even disobeyed to use the static ip's I gave it manually. I was even more flabbergasted to find out the SB3 used squeezescrobbler on the device itself, no webui, just the device itself gives me entrance to last.fm. Oh, I don't live in USA/UK/DE ! Am I just a lucky guy on a lucky moment with a lucky device ? Or is it a general rule that non-USA/UK/DE last.fm lovers get serviced with an old device (SB3) while they are not serviced with a double priced product (SBD) ? Okay I know if you are lucky, don't push it over the limits. But finally I wanted to know if the SB3 and the SBD would like each other, so I tried to use them together. Oh, I didn't synchronize, I just powered the SBD . and instantly last.fm stopped playing on the SB3. I couldn't believe my ears, this is a joke. I tested and tested over again. But it's true the SB3 stops playing last.fm the moment SBD is connected. Okay I thought let's push it over the limits and get the two synchronize: wrong thought. Now not only does last.fm stop on SB3, on SBD last.fm only plays the first 5 seconds of every song and jumps to the next song to play it 5 seconds. Don't get me wrong, but it really looks like someone is trying to do us evil here. I learned one lesson and like to pass it to all non-USA/UK/DE last.fm lovers: Buy yourself only half-priced SB3 and leave the SBD where it is till slimdevices guarantee you last.fm will work on it. Oh and buy the way: the IR-control works much better then the SBC and you don't have to bother batterylife eather. And if you can't do without the artwork, buy yourself a eee-pc instead of the SBC, it is cheaper, prettier, more reliable, better battery-life, and you can browse while listening on your sofa ;) So that was only my 2 cents. And oh: I love squeezebox and I ADORE last.fm !

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Last.Fm connection problem
Both the SB3 and the Duet are slim devices. They both pull all of the info they need to operate from Squeezecenter. If you are running both the Duet and the SB3 from one instance of Squeezecenter, there should be no difference in their ability to access Last.fm. Im a bit confused about whether you are trying to use the inbuilt Last.fm plugin or the 3rd party Squeezecenter plugin. You mention Squeezescrobbler but also talk about the in-built plugin. The Squeezescrobbler plugin does not have any country restrictions at all, so it should work on both the Duet and the SB3 without any problems, but you can't use the inbuilt plugin if you are in the Netherlands at the moment. If you can't get Squeezescrobbler to work on your Duet, there may be something wrong with your setup, perhaps an IP conflict given what you say about static IPs. Also, you can't run two separate or synced Last.fm streams with the Squeezecrobbler plugin. It's a technical restriction imposed by Last.fm (see 'here' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26986highlight=sync+last.fm)), so this may account for some of the issues you are experiencing. I'm pretty confident that if the situation you describe was right, i.e. that the Duet can't access Last.fm either via the inbuilt plugin OR the Squeezescrobbler plugin (depending on country), but the SB3 could, there would be thousands of angry fans clogging up the boards.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Last.Fm connection problem
I can't remember if the cache for the Squeezescrobbler plugin is per player, but if you have a bad submit to Last.fm it can sometimes cause the plugin to stop submitting - I haven't experienced this for a while, but it may be worth double checking. What OS are you running on? Try stopping SC, then find the Last.fm cache folder - something like PendingSongFile_[your last.fm user name].txt. Delete it and restart SC. Any improvement?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Last.Fm connection problem
My understanding is that the Squeezescrobbler cache should be in a temp folder on a Linux build, not under the Squeezescrobbler or the plugins folder, so it may not even be under Squeezecenter. On Windows it appears in documents and settings for example. To switch on logging, go to the webui, Settings, Advanced, Logging - change Squeezescrobbler to debug and apply. Then you can navigate to the logfile server.log under the Status page. Try using the Squeezescrobbler plugin on your duet and change a few stations and see what error messages get produced. I should say that Squeezescrobbler on the Duet works for me if I disable the inbuilt plugin but I'm in the UK, so can't properly comment on that aspect. I would be surprised if it was a deliberate change, because that's totally contrary to my experience of how SD works, but it's definitely something that should be looked into. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)? -Siduhe Loved Tracks radio got the thumbs up.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] SQLPlaylist and CustomSkip efficiency
What is the reason that you don't think it's easy to maintain the genres in SQL Playlist ? Is it because you are going to want to exclude the same genres in several playlists ? Yes, probably. Quite often I want to use dynamic playlists without any built-in genre filtering, and then depending on my mood, choose the genres to play. Eg. not ambient in the morning (not good as an alarm clock), but in the evening I want to play ambient and not heavy metal! That's why I thought CustomSkip could be good - I could have a skip filter set including several genres, and another set including other genres, and quickly flick between them when deciding to play random songs not played, for example. Including several genres, or excluding several genres though I thought would be slow to set up, and not very efficient in terms of performance. I thought perhaps a library filter (include/exclude all tracks in a certain library), or folder path filter may be easier and perform better. By the way, your SQL doesn't just return non rated tracks it also limits the tracks returned to those that haven't been played the last 3 hours. I purposely included that bit when I copied an example query, sounded like a good idea to avoid duplicates from playing. However, with a large set of songs to play, it's not going to happen often, so I will remove that bit. An additional change you can try if you use this in a new 7.1 release, is that you could replace track_statistics with tracks_persistent and join using tracks_persistent.track instead. Thanks - I'll give that a go. I've been thinking of adding a path skipping filter in Custom Skip, but the problem is that it is a lot of work because then I would need to be able to enter text through the player interface when creating the filter which is something I don't do today. I see no harm in creating some web-UI only filters, and could possibly extend to player UI in the future. Isn't there a generic text input player UI control that could be re-used? If not, I pinched the text input code a long time ago from the Save Playlist plugin, to perform Save Playlist within PlaylistMan plugin, so it's quite easy to do. I have got some multi-libraries set up, including one purely for my podcasts. However, I haven't got one that separates ambient music from electronic music, and one that separates studio albums from live albums. i.e. at times I need to slice by music library up in different ways. I don't want too many multi-libraries, as it has an overhead? Phil ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

My understanding is that the Squeezescrobbler cache should be in a temp

Okay found myself a cachefile /tmp/par-squeezecenter/cache-.
Removed it, restarted squeezecenter. Tried to start lastfm on SBC, same

To switch on logging, go to the webui, Settings, Advanced, Logging -
change Squeezescrobbler to debug and apply.
Debug was on already. Looks this leads to the same as via the SBC self

Then you can navigate to the logfile server.log under the Status page.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] SQLPlaylist and CustomSkip efficiency
An additional change you can try if you use this in a new 7.1 release, is that you could replace track_statistics with tracks_persistent and join using tracks_persistent.track instead. This would be something like: I just tried this and it returned a track that had a rating. select tracks.url, t2.rating from tracks left join track_statistics t2 on tracks.url=t2.url and t2.rating0 left join dynamicplaylist_history on tracks.id=dynamicplaylist_history.id where tracks.audio=1 and t2.url is null and dynamicplaylist_history.id is null group by tracks.id returns 20177 rows in 0.3774s select tracks.url, t2.rating from tracks left join tracks_persistent t2 on tracks.id=t2.track and t2.rating0 left join dynamicplaylist_history on tracks.id=dynamicplaylist_history.id where tracks.audio=1 and t2.track is null and dynamicplaylist_history.id is null group by tracks.id returns 20738 rows in 0.4051s So the old track_statistics table join appears faster, and has more rated tracks in it? ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Let me think back on this. Did you update the install.xml in squeezecenter/server/plugins/xmradio (or something like that)to maxversion 7.1+ ? Make sure too that you are using the 2.x version of the plugin. Then in the settings menu under plugins put your login info and whatever else it needs. Then probably restart the SC. Hope this helps.
