Re: [slim] Preparing for my players demise
So with this touchscreen and a pi 2,all I would need is picoreplayer? And it would emulate a SB Touch? It can't be that simple... Can it?

Re: [slim] Document your collection
The idea of using the LMS cli interface is fine for those who run LMS on a PC or similar - for those of us that run it on a 'small' computer such as a pi or Wandboard this is not very practical. The approach used by pkfox of directly querying the db seems the right method in these cases as it's easy to copy over the db to generate the album / track list rather than trying to get the o/p from lms over to the PC to do the same thing. (Unless I'm missing something) I take the number of artists listed by LMS with a farly large pinch of salt as it includes all types of tag data that I would not normally consider as an artist for the type of music it refers to (such as composer for non-classical music) so can't see the attraction of trying to replicate it! steve-g's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104566 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Why not? It's what the devices do, it's what iPeng and others do. It's one of the main tasks of LMS to respond to queries about its music library. And you're not doing this all day long, do you? You grab the data, print it, done. And in a few days or weeks you'll repeat the procedure.

If Listen Again stream play sometimes then the problem is likely to be rebuffering (especially as you seem to have problems with live streams as well) not related to the update to the plugin.
