Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Standard Search results

2015-02-12 Thread Phil Meyer
Phil's comments were based on a buggy version of the search. 
Unfortunately he didn't verify his search after I fixed the sorting.
I thought I had replied.  After you made a change, the search did indeed start 
to return results in a better order.

The additional results added to the tail shouldn't hurt. Who cares about 
the millions of hits google shows up for any random search? Most users 
will check the first one or two pages and ignore the long tail.

Mostly true.  With the most likely results at the top, it doesn't matter as 
much that there's extra results not of interest further down.  That is if 
performance isn't affected.  I don't notice performance issues, as I have a 
fast server.  Scan times?  Memory usage?  I haven't investigated.

On some occasions, I've been interested in how many songs I have with blah in 
the title, so extra results means that the new search is no good for that sort 
of thing.  But I guess Advanced Search can be used.

FTS should not be used if the high memory options can't be enabled. It 
uses more RAM, not only for the additional indices, but also for 
temporary tables. Without the high memory options enabled you'll 
certainly see a performance hit.

Yeah, advanced search to the rescue.

FWIW: I committed a bunch of changes/optimizations/improvements which 
should be in tomorrow's builds. They should improve wirrunna's beet 
symph 1 search considerably. Among many other cases.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 and DSD

2015-02-12 Thread Linvincible

Hello,

I am trying to get the DSF files to play on the touch via DSDplayer.
I have LMS 7.9 on synology and it works fine with an SOtM sMS-100, just
not on the touch
For the touch, I do get the menu on LMS server to convert to PCM, but
even when using lowest quality I don't get any output via analog outs.
I see an error message on the touch's screen complaining about opening
the file...
It plays flac files from same location fine so I suppose there's no
access rights problems ;o)
Can that work or is it meant only to stream the data to an external dac
(via USB digital out plugin)?

Thanks in advance for the advice!
