Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Multi Library support in LMS 7.9
hm, lengthy discussion Maybe, but not with me. I don't really care a lot _how_ it works as long as it's consistent. I only store local items in favorites for testing and did a lot of that when recently implementing the favorites editing for iPeng, that's how I ran into it. I feel handling of artists in favorites in general is problematic, they are being stored as a playlist, something they clearly aren't so that's probably the reason for the inconsistent behavior. I've got a much bigger issue with Favorites right now that's probably unrelated and deserves it's own bug: if you use a large playback buffer (like iPeng does, although I've experiences it on an SB3, too), then when playing the whole list of favorites the player can get in some kind of weird state where it seems to mix two streams (with proxied streaming) so that you end up playing one frame from a file, then another one from a radio station and so on... Now THAT is scary... --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101701 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Multi Library support in LMS 7.9
And another edge case... Let the fun begin! Favorites. Thou shalt not favorite local music items. - there are tracks in favorites which are not part of the active library, they will still be shown and can be played. - there are albums in favorites which are not part of the active library, they will still be shown and can be played. They can also be opened and the tracks will show and can be played. - there are artists in favorites which have albums which are not part of the active library, these albums will be shown when the artist is being opened from favorites. However, these albums can not be played and if they are opened, they are empty. Now, while I think all of this is wrong and they should be filtered, Hmm... I think this could be topic of a lengthy discussion. I would say they should _not_ be filtered (because I only add to favorites what I really want to have access to quickly). BUT whether it's filtered or not, it should be uniform across all types of items. If an artist shows up, then its items should be usable. IMHO points 1 2 are acceptable, 3 is not. there is some specific aspect to be considered If I add something to favorites from an additional browse mode which is not part of the library (a children's music album, for example), _should_ that be shown? I think no because - there is no logic I could think of that would determine how to tell apart items that should or should not be shown by such a logic. - the idea of the additional browse modes overriding the library was to _only_ override it in these specific menus, Favorites, however, is outside these specific menus. And because of your reason #1 we should display them all. How more confusing can it get if you add a favorite and it doesn't show up because it's not part of the main library? Favorites imho should really be this: items you always want to have access to quickly, no matter how else you're narrowing down your browsing experience. Maybe I should rather have silently ignored your posting instead of triggering a new lengthy discussion :-). -- Michael ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 and DSD
I hope someone can help to figure out why I don't get sound for DSD? All others, even 192/24 files plays fine. For DSD file playback i can see it is playing (time counting) and also info 1bit 2822.4 kHz or 5644.8 kHz. Done media rescan, and even full reinstall of LMS with cleanup.

Pi doesn't have the horsepower, so you need to -e dsd from the frontend (squeezelite) to get it done on the backend (dsdplay). But question for Triode, . Does PlayDSD plugin include Window$ dsdplay binary?

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Standard Search results
The commit on Jan 29th (https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/commits/public/7.9) appears to have restored the FTS to its pre-Christmas function. LMS 7.9.0 - 1422454553 @ Mon Feb 2 JJ, I suggest that you download a new version, re-enable the plugin and try again. A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.
