Re: [slim] Compatible WLAN cards for SB3, Boom, Reciever & Transporter
Great thread! I love it as much as I love my Boom! Sometmes ignorance is bliss. I ordered this card: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32639702162.html without seeing the posts in this thread. At first I thought the card was not compatible with my Boom. I then tried to wiggle the card some more as instructed by MattRX and it worked! So this is another compatible card which is available at the time of writing. The card I received looked a little different than the one on the photo on the link above, but worked nevertheless. I attach a photo of the card I received.

Intercepting the "clear playlist" seems less difficult. I just have no experience with LMS code and I am not sure if one could achieve it without revising the actual LMS code (i.e. not sure if plugin can do it alone) -thomas -- *Server*: Raspberry Pi 3 running LMS 7.9.0 *Players*: SB receiver + 4 SB boom, two groups: Group1: 3 SB Boom + 1receiver, Group2: 1 SB Boom *Remotes*: Mobile phone 1+ 3 and Asus tablet with SqueezeCtrl, Orange Squeeze and SqueezeCommander *Apps*: Tidal tuc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34475 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109712 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I will experiment with how to use your script (how often to run it, how often to rescan playlist etc.). FYI: nc is already installed (it used in your one-liner solution too). I think sed is also installed but I will install it if not (same for awk). Thanks for the inspiration to use shell scripts and CLI togehter. Perhaps I can think of other ways of enhancing LMS functionality with these tools in hand.

DJanGo wrote: > We are talking/writing about the same. > > A saved Playlist- is an entirely different kind of flying altogether!- > ;-) Again thank you! I have now digested the command you provided (at least to some degree:-)). It is the first time I have thought about what the CLI can really do - amazing! It made me think about another feature that I have been wishing for for a long time: Sometimes I (or friends) accidentally zap the active playlist by pressing "play" to an item found by a search in the music library. I would like to be able to "go back" to the previous active playlist. Now, this is quite tricky since it would require every update to the active playlist to be "saved to disk" and also require functionality to make the "playlist saved to disk available". As a poor man's solution: Saving the current playlist once a day among the "real" playlist pointed to by LMS settings. Such a playlist could have a filename containing the date. I would then delete older playlist. This could be achieved through CLI and crontab (I just don't know how to turn an active playlist into a named playlist). If you are still up for helping me ... Best -thomas PS: I will try your solution to my original post later today and let you know how it went.

Wow, so cool! Thanks! Just to be sure. I am talking about the active playlist, not a saved playlist with a name and located in the "playlist" folder as pointed to in the LMS settings. So I just want to keep whatever happened to be playing at the end of the day (before reboot) in order to press "play" in the morning (after reboot) and the songs from yesterday will play.

I do use "Dont stop the music". I will try your suggestion. Thanks very much. I have a crontab entry that makes the server reboot at night (perhaps overkill on a linux based system :-)) so it would be even better if I didn't have to do anything. Or perhaps I could do another crontab job that casued the playlist to be stored immediately before the reboot. -thomas -- *Server*: Raspberry Pi 3 running LMS 7.9.0 *Players*: SB receiver + 4 SB boom, two groups: Group1: 3 SB Boom + 1receiver, Group2: 1 SB Boom *Remotes*: Mobile phone 1+ 3 and Asus tablet with SqueezeCtrl, Orange Squeeze and SqueezeCommander *Apps*: Tidal tuc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34475 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109712 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] How to retain active playlist when squeezebox service is restarted
Hi there, I run LMS on a Raspberry Pi with two groups of players. Group1: 4 synced players (1 SB receiver and 3 SB boom), Group2: 1 player (1 SB boom). When I occasionally either reboot the server or restart the squeezebox-server service, the active playlists on the players gets reset to some previosly used active playlist. Typically a playslist from a couple of days ago. Is there any way I can restart the squeezebox-server service and retain the active playlist on all the players? I have tried having a single group but the problem is the same. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated. Best regards, -thomas PS: I am amazed at how well my Raspberry Pi 3 runs LMS only expending 2-5 Watts.:) -- *Server*: Atom D510, 32-bit, dual core with 2 GB RAM running Ubuntu 16.04, LMS 7.9.0 *Players*: SB receiver + 4 SB boom, all players synchronized *Remotes*: 1+ mobile phone and Google Nexus 10 tablet with SqueezeCtrl, Orange Squeeze and SqueezeCommander *Plugins*: Ickstream with Tidal ServerPowerControl Plugin by Gharris Trackstat and other wonderful Erland plugins tuc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34475 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109712 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Announcement - ickStream open beta release on Squeezebox !
Hi ickstream users, I cannot add more than 200 Todal tracks at a time to current playlist. I am running LMS 7.9 and Ickstream. I have no limit to the length of the playlist in LMS and it is not a problem to have very long playlist (>1000 tracks). Here is what I do: Use my app Squeeze Qtrl to: 1. Select Ickstream 2. Select Tidal 3. Search for "111" 4. Select Albums 5. Long press the album "111 years of Deutsche Grammophon - various artists" 6. Select Play This particular "album" is a collection of 111 albums and it is quite difficult to select say album 58 and play it. I can still only add 200 track if I select "add to playlist" or "play next" in step 6. Any suggestions for solutions or workarounds?
