Re: [slim] LMS Scanner 8.31 failing

Re: [slim] NAS + Squeezebox + Plex
Can someone suggest a build including OS or something pre-built that would literally serve my 3 purposes: NAS + Squeezebox server + Plex server. My personal opinion: assuming you don't have Pis sitting around idle, I'd go with a relatively beefy NAS which can run Docker. The latter allows you to run many services in a matter which (currently) is well supported by many projects. If you go with a relatively mainstream product like QNAP or Synology chances are you already have support for Plex apps built-in. Otherwise you run it in Docker. When I bought my NAS Docker was still a bit suspicious to me. It took me a while to understand it. But right now I'm running five to six containers continuously. And I like the simplicity with which I can test-run an application in a container and easily throw everything away if I'm not happy with it. Just my 2c. (but I still run LMS on a Pi, as it's easier in _my_ case to run off of git directly, and to deal with patches applied manually etc.) ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Call for testers! Daphile
So if during this polling the 'lack of account information' error occurs, this then triggers the music rescan which causes LMS to remove any entries provided by Deezer and resets the flag to stop it from polling Deezer in the future - correct? Yes, that would happen. We'd have to double check whether "failure to get account information" is treated the same as "lack of account information".

Re: [slim] Call for testers! Daphile
From what I see, scans of the online library happen every hour and in my experience the issue is random. It does a poll to figure out whether a scan is required every hour.

Is there a way to have scanner.log contain multiple days of info, or does it always only contain the most recent scan?

Just a guess, but I'm assuming the line with *'Disabling polling for Slim::Plugin::Deezer::Plugin lack of account information'* is significant Indeed!

Re: [slim] Which factors determine streams served to different geographical locations?
I understand well how this works for non-Squeezebox streaming, for example when streaming video such as Netflix. But, when it comes to hardware- and software-players in the LMS sphere, I am not so clear on what the factors are that determine which streams are available to you. There is your actual location and IP and your time zone, but also how you connect to the radio stream – via squeezebox.com, RadioNet, TuneIn, direct URL, BBC Sounds... It's the same IP address based approach that Netflix etc. use. Based on your IP address they guess where you come from. It's easier for a subscription service, of course, as they can combine it with other information like your billing address etc. But your IP address is key for the online radios. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Volume increasing to 50% randomly
I've seen the same using Spotty/Spotify, but I've never used connect. I no longer subscribe so can't help further. That's what I'm having a hard time believing: Spotty doesn't care about the volume at all. Unless you're using its Connect feature. There simply is no code (I'm aware of) which would deal with it outside the Connect code. All Spotty in LMS mode does is provide URLs, and translate URLs into sound data (Ogg, PCM, mp3, whatever your configuration). But it doesn't interact with the player in any other way. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Volume increasing to 50% randomly

Re: [slim] Volume increasing to 50% randomly
Spotty can still cause the volume issue even if you are not playing from Spotify. Just having players as Connect endpoints is enough. Do you have any log files supporting this claim? Spotty would only try to sync the volume when Connect playback starts. These events should be logged in INFO mode. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] https connection to LMS ?

Re: [slim] https connection to LMS ?
At least I now understand why LMS remains using http since the hardware (in my case a squeezebox-2) requires it. Once again constrained by the abandonment of the product by Logitech after purchasing from slimserver leaving the customer base. To be fair you have to accept the fact that there are technological constraints, too: it's unlikely https could have been added to those players for the simple lack of memory. When they were designed memory was still expensive and thus very limited. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Network traffic continues for a minute after pausing players
I assume that this is by design in order to make the players ready to resume the stream instantly, and then after a set period the players conclude that the user does not want to resume and stops the stream. Correct. Interestingly, with the PCP, pressing Stop in the PCP web interface stops the traffic instantly. Pause and stop are not the same thing. 1. Is there on the LMS web interface or on the players themselves an equivalent to the "Stop" on the PCP? Power off. 2. Is there a setting somewhere that determines the time delay from "Pause" to the cutting of the stream?

Re: [slim] Albums with Multiple Covers

Re: [slim] Multiple libaries?
Assume I configure one player as 192.168.0.100 and call it "Main Player" and set its library to media/usb/MyMusic . And I configure the other player as 192.168.0.101, call it "Alt Player" and set its library as media/usb/PaulsStuff. You won't really have two libraries. That's why I often refer to them as "library views". You'd have one LMS managing one library. But within that one library you can define views, which basically are filters to what a player would see. But then yes, you could have "Main Player" only see view 1, and "Alt Player" see view 2. It's not a hard limit, but really a UI choice: when controlling a player you can define what you want to see. It may be that the critical part of my question can be abbreviated this way: Can the Library View selected also determine which items are shuffled by "Don't stop the music"? It really depends on what mixer you're using with DSTM. DSTM really only is an enabler which allows other plugins to make the music not stop. It's infrastructure only. What content would be played depends on what plugin you use to manage the DSTM feature. Eg. Spotty obviously would not be limited to a library, as it would pull in content from the x millions tracks available on Spotify. So... what mixer are you using? ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
