Re: [slim] Custom Browse Menu - No Alphabetical Sorting In Albums Sub-Menus
Hi Erland, thanks for your response. You wrote above: It works in the web interface but it produce 1-10 links on the top instead of A-Z links. In iPeng it also works but it doesn't provide any alphabetic bar on the right side, just dots to navigate to the next 25 albums. I guess it can be considered a bug that the alpha bar is numeric, it's actually designed this way because I thought it was a bit strange to have letters that select artists in the albums menu, but when looking at the standard menu I now see that it works this way so I should probably see if I can adjust Custom Browse to work the same way. It's a small change as I just need to modify the menu templates a bit, so I'll try to include this in the next Custom Browse release. That in a nut shell is my problem. I don't want to navigate by numbers with thousands of albums, it's a feature that I can't see the point of. I need to be able to navigate alphabetically by artist the same as the standard menu, but I require the additional features/functionality of your add-on which leaves the standard menu options in the dust!! If you could modify the custom browse menu setting template, as you say above, to achieve this so I can sort by artist alphabetically on the PC web interface and Ipeng, I would be extremely happy!! :-) :-) Cheers..

[slim] What is missing from your Squeezebox experience ?
To me it feels like my Squeezebox experience hasn't really evolved much during the last year. When thinking back, I remember things like: - SqueezePad announcement - iPeng for iPad announcement - Triode's Spotify plugin announcement All these are things that truly made big changes to how I use my Squeezebox system to discover and listen to music, but all are older than a year. If I think about Logitech provided features I need to go back to the Radio and Touch releases to find something that really made a big difference for myself. But what's the next big thing we would like to be added or changed in the future, either through Logitech or third party developers ? I don't want a list of ideas which you think someone else wants, I want a list of ideas which YOU want. I don't want a list of bugs to be fixed because that's obviously something that needs to be done, so it doesn't have to be discussed, I like ideas of things that would make big changes to your Squeezebox experience, it might be ideas of new software features or ideas of new hardware, it might related to music listening or the earlier steps of ripping and tagging music to get it into your library. The purpose of this thread is mainly to give existing and new third party developers ideas of things which people want, since Logitech developers are present on this forum there is also a chance that someone from Logitech will spot the thread and pickup some excellent ideas for new features. So do you have any ideas for things that would really make a big difference for your Squeezebox experience ? Could be either small things or big things, but let's focus on things that will have a significant impact on your Squeezebox experience. erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94987 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] How do you want to create/manage playlists ?
Since the playlist management in SBS/LMS is a bit limited and most people seems to use external software to manage their playlist it feels like there is a need for something better in SBS/LMS. So, some questions to people that use saved playlists and would like to be easier. Try to think about how you like it to work instead of how it works today. 1. What kind of device would you like to use when creating the playlists ? - A computer - A tablet - A smart phone - A Logitech Controller, Radio or Touch display - A IR remote - Something else 2. How do you decide what should be part of a playlist ? - By selecting the individual tracks you want to include - By selecting the albums you want to include - By selecting the artists you want to include - By automatically selecting 100 tracks that matches some search criteria (genre, ratings, ...) - Something else 3. How do you decide which order the tracks should have in the playlist ? - Random ordered tracks - Random ordered albums - Drag and drop albums to put them into the right order - Drag and drop tracks to put them into the right order - Something else 4. What's the most frustrating limitation with SBS/LMS playlist management today ? - That it doesn't support relative paths in playlist files which are scanned - That it's too hard to reorder tracks in existing playlists - That it's too hard to create completely new playlists - Something else 5. What kind of device would you like to use when modifying existing playlists ? - A computer - A tablet - A smart phone - A Logitech Controller, Radio or Touch display - A IR remote - Something else 6. What kind of modifications do you usually do on already existing playlists ? - Reorder tracks in the playlist - Remove tracks, albums or artists from the playlist - Add new tracks, albums or artists to the playlist - Something else Is there anything else than the above you feel is important to take into consideration if anyone would like to improve the playlist management ? erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94988 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

At this stage though I feel that it is pointless to think about extra functionality while Logitech hasn't been able to deliver even one (reasonably) bug-free firmware version for my two Squeezebox radios.

Code:
option
idbyartist/id
nameSort by artist/name
itemformatalbumconcat/itemformat
menulinksnumber/menulinks
menudata
select albums.id,if(albums.compilation,' ',concat('(',
group_concat(distinct contributors.name) ,')')) from
albums,contributor_album,contributors
where
albums.id=contributor_album.album and
contributor_album.contributor=contributors.id and
contributor_album.role in (1,5)
group by albums.id
order by contributors.namesort asc,albums.year
desc,albums.titlesort asc,albums.disc asc
/menudata
/option
If I wanted to swap around the order text output is displayed in the
WebUI:
From: Album (Artist)
To: Artist (Album)
Would that be an easy thing to do? If so - how? :)

A slightly less heterodox use of White Bear is to play music located on any DLNA-supporting machine on the network out through your stereo. Whitebear creates a Media Renderer target that is your Squeezebox which you can use through (for example) Windows Media Player's Play To feature.

Still my number 1: A working SoundCloud plugin. There is one, but since it doesn't process the link authorization (or re-authorization) correctly it doesn't work any better than iPeng does out of the box meaning you can play a track but not store it in a playlist or a favorite. Also, it's browsing is a bit broken.

Re: [slim] What is missing from your Squeezebox experience ?
1st of all I will say I am happy w/ SBS 7.6 and I think Erland's dedication to enhancing our musical experience should be praised. For me: #1: System actions in the playlist. Like setting volume up/down before/after a song; playing a radio stream for X minutes then switch to another source; etc. #2: Proxying the local library via mySB.com. On the move, the only protocol I am sure to have access to is HTTP on port 80. All the rest is likely to be filtered. I don't want to open this kind of gate on my LAN. But SBS could connect to something like mysb.com and allow access to local files #3: Power management integration at OS level. Make PM-aware the native win/mac os SBS dashboards so that the software can fight against a sleep request when playing, and disconnect/reconnect players at shutdown-sleep/boot-wake time. Try to cook something on linux, too. I believe a dummy usb driver would receive/handle the PM events on any reasonable platform. (I know srvPowerControl exists; it does more than fitting the bill a dedicated server. But it doesn't have OS-level integration so it does not work perfect on multi-purpose machines like a desktop.) #4: An undead MIP-like system. I use MIP and it kind of works. But it has its quirks and won't run on anything other than i386 (AFAIK) #5: Quality (which means authorized I suppose) art and metadata. I like discogs a lot, but really I am spending too much time on that site. epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94987 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

And it serves the respective music tracks in that library to an open standard UPnP/DLNA compliant Digital Media Renderer (player). (So for example you can use your TV Set screen and remote control to browse your LMS/SBS music library (by Whitebear), and select tracks and play them via the TV speakers). 2) *UPnP Digital Media Renderer*: Whitebear presents all your Squeeze boxes as open standard UPnP/DLNA compliant Digital Media Renderer's (players).

Any way to convert all streams to 44.1 Khz?

Re: [slim] Ground Loop?
Try reversing how the SBT's power supply is plugged into the outlet. Sometimes switching the plug polarity will get rid of a ground loop. If that doesn't work, try using an optical cable between the SBT and the DAC instead of coax. If your DAC doesn't have optical input, you could get an optical to coax converter like this one... http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-40019-Optical-Converter/dp/B0002GV876 However, If you use an optical/coax converter there is the risk that the power supply for the converter will also cause a ground loop.

[slim] Audio skips when player synced
This is my current setup: Dell tower, Pentium 4 @ 3.06ghz, 2GB RAM. Squeezebox Server Version: 7.6.1 (Yes, I know it's a couple of versions behind, but I wanted to try and fix the issue that I'm about to describe before upgrading) Kitchen: Boom - wireless Lounge: SB3 classic - ethernet via 100MB switch Bedroom: SB3 classic - ethernet via 100MB switch I did have issues a while back, and the suggestion was that it was likely wireless related. So whilst I was making other improvements to the house, I also put ethernet cabling in to eliminate any possible wireless issues. The issue that I'm having is that anything I play skips or drops out fairly regularly. And when I say reguarly, I'm talking a couple of times every 10 minutes. It's likely to be a tiny skip or complete silence for a few seconds. The skips can occur when listening to BBC radio streams, DI.FM streams, RadioIO streams or locally hosted MP3 files. I'm using the local SB server, not via the MySB.com service. So cut a reasonaly long story short, I've worked out that the issue is related to syncronisation of the players. As far as I can tell, when not syncing at all, all of the players work as expected without skips. I can set each player up to play the same stream individually and the skips do not occur. I can play different streams to each player, again, without issue. Only once I link a player to another player do the skips occur. I have to admit that when I had issues a while back, I will have changed the sync settings. So, my first request is for someone to list each sync setting, with the default values. I'd like to try these settings default setting before I do any more damage. Secondly, if possible, I'd like any recommendations for each sync setting based upon the setup listed above. Please shout up if there are any details that I've missed that may influence the information that you give. Thank you for your time in getting this far :) spindoctor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9855 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94993 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] How to *delete* a favorite?

Where do you see Delete in Edit mode? Clicking on the X button Cuts the Favorite, doesn't delete.

Re: [slim] What is missing from your Squeezebox experience ?
Enhance the bandcamp plugin so that you can shop music and download within the system . ( I could have my paypal account stored in the plugin settings ). Downloads go to a dedicated folder unzips and scan into the dB . Any other kind of integrated shop for lossles music ( I exemplified with bandcamp as I know of it's existence and it looks realistic to implement ) And yes an official music ip replacement please , so that we finally can have smart playlists . Tag editing via a plugin that has an UI that would work on iPeng or SqueezePad .

Re: [slim] How do you want to create/manage playlists ?
Actually all of the ideas expressed in point 1-6 . And a music ip smart playlists creator, you set up some criteria , a seed track and some other parameters and tell it to pull up 100 tracks and make a playlist :) and it should be fast ( 1 second ).
