@ dasmueller: its frustrating to see someone that has an idea realized that idea and decides to share his idea even when that means he has a lot more to to than just use his thing for his own purposes and some other jump on the train and ask for impossible or senseless things... @pkfox: I realized that there is some interest for an "offline collection Dokumentation" and i decided to re-animate my own way to solve this (cause in my private hours i am a Linux User i cant just use your Tool) Even without knowing exactly what your doing - i may have a tip for you and the guys that use your Tool. "My" way to get a offline Dokumentation of my collection just needs two tables out of the library.db. - contributors - albums I dont know which tables you use but instead of copying the whole library.db (if someone has to cause using a headless dedicated lms Server) Should be simple as eg: $lms_offline_db is my var for the filename under Windows it must be something like %lms_offline_db% rm is the same as del under *blows - dont "dump" the same tables into your offline_db twice Code: rm $lms_offline_db sqlite3 /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/library.db ".dump albums"|sqlite3 $lms_offline_db sqlite3 /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/library.db ".dump contributors"|sqlite3 $lms_offline_db After that you end up with a smaller database file if you need to copy that from your dedicated lms Server. In my case the shortend library is just 2.8 MB instead of 118 MB. Feel free to adapt this idea.

What Jan means is that the only way of determining when something was added would be by way of the file timestamp. As this would not always be the date you actually added the file to the LMS library the "all files added since ddmmyy" routine would not always be accurate. If for example you today correct a tag in a file that you might have added in 2010 the timestamp is going to be today.

The reason is to be able to produce a file which shows updates to the library. What the process/technical way to do it I do not know as I am not proficient in how the whole system works from a programming perspective. Just thought it might be nice but not that big a deal.

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

You grab the data, print it, done. And in a few days or weeks you'll repeat the procedure. I don't see the problem. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Document your collection
http://localhost:9000/html/docs/cli-api.html?player=#DB Sure, but this is not what pkfox is looking for. He needs a way to retrieve all tracks with the info on what album the tracks belong to. I would be very surprised if a CLI command, or even a sequence of CLI commands, would export the entire library. How do you expect does LMS send all the albums lists etc. to the player UI or iPeng or whatnot? Of course this is possible with the CLI. Just read the documentation about the various parameters you can use to get additional data for eg. tracks. Or get the full list of albums and iterate over it to get tracks album by album. It's all in there. Probably not as fast as raw SQL, but this shouldn't matter for this use case. Plus it doesn handle all the LMS settings the way LMS does for all the other UIs. I guess the best way to achieve that is by accessing the DB directly. No, that's definitely not the best way. It's a waste of time, because you'd have to re-implement LMS' logic. Concentrate on your application and let LMS deal with the gory database stuff. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Document your collection
Can anybody define how LMS actually calculates the Artist Count? Why would you do the counting yourself? Let LMS do it for you, then you don't have to know about the innards :-). Because the number of artists depends heavily on your LMS settings: what are artists or contributors? Should band, conductor, composer etc. be counted or not? You can't get the number identical to LMS' count without re-implementing all those conditions.

I just wanted my document to mirror the *actual* content of anyone's collection - if I just use LMS CLI calls for counts they would not be an accurate reflection of the document That's not true. Because there's no such thing as the "actual" content, other than the number of files on your disc. But then don't rely on LMS' database, because it does apply rules configured by the user. There's no such thing as THE number of artists unless you specify what you consider an artist. etc. If you want the real, one and only truth, you'll have to explain your rules of truth, not try to understand LMS' :-) -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I believe there was some sort of gear icon there originally. hmmm. not sure about how to change the .db file back to some default. I think the suggestion of an SQL program above is the best approach as I assume that is the type of program to open a .db file. Even if you don't change it, it shouldn't cause any problems, as you don't typically edit a db file anyhow. *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng8 & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 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

You're right, of course, but with some help from forum users it is at least *possible* to adapt to db changes, even if the app is no longer maintained.

Re: [slim] Document your collection
I got it to work a few hrs. ago but had to go out for a bit. I had to add a .db to the library folder and then it worked. Searching for how to open the file I inadvertently changed how that file type opens to Adobe Acrobat Reader and do not know how to change it to what it should be. Told you I was dumb. The results I got mirrored the LMS control Panel for the # of Albums and the number of Tracks. For some reason the number of Artists is 8 less w the app than LMS reports. I have not had time to look through it yet. Maybe tomorrow. I would assume that if one does a nightly scan one would need to regenerate the PDF w the app. There is no way to get an auto-update ? dasmueller's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38035 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

In contributor_albums and contributor_tracks it seems that the role (appears to be 1 to 6) is dependent on which tag LMS read. I -think- I have identified that role 6 equates to AlbumArtist whereas role 5 is TrackArtist BUT if there is no AlbumArtist in the file it is role 1. role 2 is Composer. I haven't found examples of 3 & 4 yet. *Vortexbox LMS 7.8 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets *Living Room* - SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s - Zone 2 -> Sony TA FE 320 -> Sennheiser RS 130 & B P7 *Office* - RPi -> Sony TA FE320 -> Celestion F10s / SB3 -> Onkyo CRN 755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - SB Touch -> Topping TP21 -> AKG Headphones *Bedroom (TV)* - Amazon Fire TV (SB Player) -> Topping TP20 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 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

Don't have a current 7.9 installed. But the good thing with this application is, you can adapt the SQL statements yourself, if necessary. reinholdk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36070 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
