The MS MM plugin integration with LMS seems working in all aspects except one; initiation of the actual playing.

And new years comming up .. :-( Can anyone point me to the error.. im going blind :cool: 15420154211542215423Gingernut63 wrote: Guees its the LMS media folder setting... i just did copy paste as writen in the user guide MonkeySqueeze will not show as a player in LMS. The only way you know it's working correctly is when the tracks load the same as MediaMonkey. I can't view your attached images so I cant see your settings, however your symptoms indicate that the communications between MM and the NAS aren't working and are not setup correctly. Do the following: 1. On the options page make sure the LMS IP address and HTTP port number are correct. Go to the LMS web page Settings Information LMS Server Status to find the info. 2. On the options page check the Primary Squeezebox Device MAC address. Go to the LMS web page Settings Information, find the device and compare the address making sure you use the same case. (Make sure the device is on and linked to the server) 3. On the options page under LMS on a Linux or Windows Server/NAS, deselect/uncheck LMS is prior to v7.5.1 4. On the options page under LMS on a Linux or Windows Server/NAS you can use the network address or a mapped address for the MediaMonkey Music Folder 5. On the options page under LMS on a Linux or Windows Server/NAS make sure the LMS Media Folder uses forward slashes (/). 6. On the options page under LMS on a Linux or Windows Server/NAS make sure the addresses are the same case as the source. Using a lower case when it should be upper case or vice versa can cause communication problems. 7. Press the red MonkeySqueeze button in MediaMonkey to enable communications. Should be turquoise when on. To test the communications play some music on your main Squeezebox device. In MediaMonkey load/place different music in the Now Playing/Playlist window, select play and then enable MonkeySqueeze. The music playing on the SB device will stop and be replaced by the music in MediaMonkey :). If the music stops on the device but is not replaced by the MediaMonkey music then your comms are working but there is an error with one of the parameters :-?. If the music continues to play on the device then the comms are not working at all :(. Let me know how you get on. Gingernut63 P.S.

Re: [slim] MonkeySqueeze
tordenfod wrote: And new years comming up .. :-( Can anyone point me to the error.. im going blind :cool:] G'day tordenfod Presumably Squeezebox is not playing the same tracks in MediaMonkey even though you have enabled MonkeySqueeze and it says it is sychronising. 90% of these errors are to do with addressing problems. The addressing for LMS looks OK so here are my recommendations: 1. Remove the back slash from the MM Music Folder address on the MM MonkeySqueeze options page e.g. u:\music 2. Check the addressing of the Music library in MM. 3. You may have to use network addressing for the MM music library instead of the mapped address 4. The LMS port number 9002 maybe conflicking with another program. try using 9003, 4 etc.. Let me know how you get on. Gingernut63 P.S.

I was only able to create one connection between MM and one of the Squeeze Players. MonkeySqueeze can only create a connection with only one squeezebox device, the one on the MM options page. The only way to share a playlist is to synchronise with other players using LMS or the player menu.

The only way you know it's working correctly is when the tracks load the same as MediaMonkey. I can't view your attached images so I cant see your settings, however your symptoms indicate that the communications between MM and the NAS aren't working and are not setup correctly. Do the following: 1. On the options page make sure the LMS IP address and HTTP port number are correct. Go to the LMS web page Settings Information LMS Server Status to find the info. 2. On the options page check the Primary Squeezebox Device MAC address. Go to the LMS web page Settings Information, find the device and compare the address making sure you use the same case. (Make sure the device is on and linked to the server) 3. On the options page under LMS on a Linux or Windows Server/NAS, deselect/uncheck LMS is prior to v7.5.1 4. On the options page under LMS on a Linux or Windows Server/NAS you can use the network address or a mapped address for the MediaMonkey Music Folder 5. On the options page under LMS on a Linux or Windows Server/NAS make sure the LMS Media Folder uses forward slashes (/). 6. On the options page under LMS on a Linux or Windows Server/NAS make sure the addresses are the same case as the source. Using a lower case when it should be upper case or vice versa can cause communication problems. 7. Press the red MonkeySqueeze button in MediaMonkey to enable communications. Should be turquoise when on. To test the communications play some music on your main Squeezebox device. In MediaMonkey load/place different music in the Now Playing/Playlist window, select play and then enable MonkeySqueeze. The music playing on the SB device will stop and be replaced by the music in MediaMonkey :). If the music stops on the device but is not replaced by the MediaMonkey music then your comms are working but there is an error with one of the parameters :-?. If the music continues to play on the device then the comms are not working at all :(. Let me know how you get on. Gingernut63 P.S. I haven't tried MonkeySqueeze with LMS 7.8 but it should work.??

If that error occurs then there is no track in the Now Playing window. When the Playlist window is cleared and MediaMonkey is shutdown the Now Playing window clears when MM is restarted. Start playing a track so it loads into the Now Playing window then press stop. MonkeySqueeze can then be enabled at anytime.

When this occurs, the communication between MediaMonkey and Squeezebox seems broken after a while. It doesn't happen a lot with MonkeySqueeze 3.0, but this problem didn't occur with version 2 Haven't seen that issue. MediaMonkey v2 and v3 operate differently when sending playlist info. MS2 sends the address of each music track one track at a time, MS3 sends the addresses of the full playlist. While MS3 sends the MediaMonkey Playlist track addresses to Squeezebox, there is no feedback from Squeezebox to MonkeySqueeze. If any changes are made to the playlist in Squeezebox then the two playlists will be out of sync. Disable/re-enable MonkeySqueeze will put the playlists back in sync again. Time to ask some questions: 1. When you rescan the Music Library in MediaMonkey, do you do the same in Squeezebox? 2. Does this only occur on large playlists (thousands of songs)? 3. After adding new tracks to the library and rescanning do you clear the Playlist window and reload the playlist or do you add the new tracks to the existing playlist in the Playlist window? If doing the 2nd option then this may be causing the problem; if so, then clear the playlist and reload to see what happens. 4. Is LMS installed on a PC or on a NAS device? 5. Is the music library on a PC or a NAS device?

Re: [slim] MonkeySqueeze
Thanks, the workaround is fine for using MonkeySqueeze 2 with last version of MediaMonkey About your questions - I never scan in LMS any more, I use MonkeySqueeze to avoid using LMS. I normally start with empty LMS library when I want to restart from scratch. - LMS is on a PC with Windows 7 x64, music partly on internal harddisk and partly on external USB disk. - Actually I do not necesseraly rescan for new music in MediaMonkey, I often select a file with MediaMonkey without caring if it is already in MediaMonkey library or not. - I'll try your suggestions tomorrow (clear playlist and reload) - MediaMonkey full library contains about 10 000 files, I try to avoid having them all in the current playlist (only for LMS, no problem for MM) Thanks for quick reply, workaround, and suggestions :) -- nicolas75 nicolas75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89046 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] MonkeySqueeze
I know I read somewhere on one of the postings that using Crossfade with MonkeySqueeze doesn't do anything, in fact it is discouraged. I just discovered MonkeySqueeze, a cool little add-on, and it works really well, but I was a bit disappointed to find out about the crossfade limitation. I was really hoping that I would be able to get rid of the crossfade on the SB side of the house because it is such a poor implementation of how crossfade should work (I know there is a bug filed against it but it's been hanging aroung for over 5 years!). Anyhow, are there any plans to use the MediaMonkey crossfade function in the near future?

dbinder101;687381 Wrote: Anyhow, are there any plans to use the MediaMonkey crossfade function in the near future? MediaMonkey via MonkeySqueeze only tells Squeezebox what to play. In other words it sends the playlist to the Squeezebox system which then finds the tracks in the music library. Crossfade in MediaMonkey will only work for the music played on MediaMonkey and likewise Crossfade selected in the Squeezebox system will on work on it's devices. Since the upgrade to syncing playlists, deselecting crossfade is not as much of an issue. You could select crossfade on one or both systems but as they operate differently it will lead to further time differences between the systems. This may or may not be an issue depending on your implementation. Although Squeezebox crossfade is not as good you can use it, perform some tests and see what happens.

Re: [slim] MonkeySqueeze
Hi, I come back to the problem of lengthy sync between LMS and MonkeySqueeze current playlist. I have several thousands of tracks, some on the computers, others on external HDD which can be disconnected. There is no problem with MediaMonkey, any operation is performed almost immediatly, even when the current playing list has several thousands of tracks, or when the external HDD is not available. But the sync between LMS and Monkeysqueeze list can be awfully long (several minutes ...), even with a Core i7 computer with 8 GB ram, running Windows 7 x64 I even had some messages from the Touch saying that no more track can be added to the playlist (may be because of a disconnect external HDD, but not sure) Don't you think there should be a limit to the number of tracks synced with LMS ? Several thousands is obviously too much for LMS. More than that, while this operation is performed, you can play music with MediaMonkey, but the script prevent MediaMonkey from being normally shut down (and nobody want to wait several minutes before being able to close MediaMonkey) -- nicolas75 nicolas75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89046 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Don't you think there should be a limit to the number of tracks synced with LMS ? Several thousands is obviously too much for LMS. Yes with a playlist of several thousand songs it will take some time to sync but then I can say it is not usual to have a playlist that long. I do agree that it would be good to limit the number of initial tracks synced and will look at that. We have also tried to terminate the sync process while underway but the complexity of the programming made it very difficult to achieve so that was stopped so we could release the current version. I have already noted that to be fixed in the next version. We are having a break from development at the moment but will be starting again in the New Year. In the short term here are a couple of suggestions to alleviate the sync waiting time: 1. Don't sync your entire collection, just sync what you want to play at any one time 2. Load a few tracks into the MediaMonkey Now Playing window and sync the playlist. Start playing the music and then add the rest of the tracks to the now playing window. The music will play while the rest of the playlist syncs. 3. Use the Auto-DJ function in MediaMonkey to randomly load tracks from the several thousand you have. Settings at Tools Options Player Auto-DJ/Now Playing. Just make sure the maintain and retain settings are set to low values e.g. 5. Hope these help. Merry Xmas and a happy New Year!

I really don't care about having playlist in LMS ... It seems that I don't have anymore the abrupt transition between tracks I sometimes had with 2.0 Vey good point. The greatest issues prior to the release of MonkeySqueeze V3 was MonkeySqueeze sending one track at a time to Squeezebox and the buffering (loading) of tracks in LMS/Squeezebox. Couple that with inherent communications delay between software and MonkeySqueezers found that sometimes tracks would abruptly stop when new tracks started and there would be large delays between tracks. If you had an up-to-date PC then these issues wouldn't be too great, however on slower PCs the issues were magnified. Enter MonkeySqueeze V3. It doesn't send one track at a time from the MediaMonkey Now Playing window, it now sends the all the tracks in the Now Playing window (a playlist) prior to play. Now the squeezebox system can start buffering the next track while the current track plays. This does a number of things. Tracks will play in there entirety and there is no added delay between tracks. The last point is especially important when there is no delay between tracks on an album, such as some classical or progressive rock albums (e.g. Pink Floyd). Tracks can also be added to the now playing window in MediaMonkey and they will then be added to the Squeezebox playlist while music is playing. Also if you change the position of a track it will update in Squeezebox. The only downside is the load time at the beginning. The larger the playlist (album or individual tracks) in MediaMonkey the longer the load time. Katteman and I believe the benefits of this approach far outweigh the negatives, however MonkeySqueezers may not agree, time will tell. I use the term playlist for the current tracks in the now playing window of MediaMonkey, which can be an album or individual tracks. I did debate whether to use the term or not but in the end I believe it best describes the list of songs that will be played. In hindsight I should have placed this explanation in the user guide but that's life. I'm certainly interested in feedback on V3 from MonkeySqueezers however they should use it for a time to become familiar with its operation. I'm sure they will find it an improvement. MonkeySqueeze V2 is still available on the Addons site for anyone who doesn't like the operation of V3. Sorry for the long winded reply nicolas75, but it's better to get the full reasoning behind the changes to the script.

Re: [slim] MonkeySqueeze
Ok I understand. Actually I noticed there is an delay between what is played in MediaMonkey and what is played on the Touch, delay which seems to increase track after track in the now playing MediaMonkey list (until I manually start another tracks list). No problem because PC normal audio output is mute when I use MM to control the Touch. The problem I had is that the first time I ran MonkeySqueeze 3.0, I had almost all my tracks (several thousands of them) in the current MediaMonkey track listing, and the total list was probably sent to LMS. I had no problem after that. [Edit] I have a powerful PC, but it may be a problem if you connect to a slow NAS or if you can make it work with TinySBS -- nicolas75 nicolas75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89046 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Sounds like you still have Remove Silence selected in your output plugin in MediaMonkey.

With everything that needs to be disabled, disabled, the time delay between MediaMonkey and Squeezebox will remain constant.

But if I understand correctly, with MonkeySqueeze, you just tell LMS what to play, and the sound quality is controlled by LMS setup and the Touch. That means it is much better than to have to deal with OS audio settings and USB dac driver. For example MediaMonkey equalizer doesn't affect the Touch playback. So I guess I don't loose any sound quality, and gains the much better MediaMonkey library management and interface. Is that correct ?

One thing that prevented me to try MonkeySqueeze sooner is that I believed I would run into OS specific sound quality problem. Yes that is correct. The Squeezebox devices are playing music direct from the source so to speak, the music library. MediaMonkey via MonkeySqueeze is just giving the address, it's not streaming. This applies to LMS on a PC or NAS. That is the advantage of Squeezebox hardware, good quality DAC. From what I've read, most USB DACs don't work as well as expected. I personally use a high end sound card which I find acceptable, but purists will probably not be impressed. If using LMS on a PC and it's not linked to a library but an empty folder, it will play the music MM/MS tells it to. It also keeps the address information and you will gradually see the same music appear in the LMS My Music database. You can select and play this music independently of MM/MS. If you do a rescan of the music library (empty folder) it will wipe this information. Yes modifying the the music which plays in MediaMonkey using crossfade, remove silence etc... has no affect on the music in LMS. That is why you need to disable those functions in MM when using V2.0.0 as they will affect the buffering/lag issue. Not important in current Beta with playlist sync. Regarding V1.5 you only need SqueezePlay if you wish to play music on a PC in-sync with Squeezebox system. In other words V1.5 works the same as V2.0 except it communicates via the CLI (9090)instead of the HTTP port (9000).

Re: [slim] MonkeySqueeze
The following is a post I recently submitted on the MonkeySqueeze Development forum. I'm posting it here to widen the posts distribution and to advertise the development forum. Beta versions of the script are also available for download. Click on the link below. http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19t=59907sid=34e0d59a4aa4a71dc647ee17cf1eda94 Probably the greatest issue MonkeySqueeze faces is the buffering issue between MediaMonkey and the Squeezebox system. Solve this issue and the basic goals are achieved. Before I go further I should state I'm writing this from a perspective of a person who is not a MediaMonkey or Squeezebox expert but a person who has a more than basic understanding of computers. What is the problem? When MediaMonkey is linked to Squeezebox via MonkeySqueeze there is a noticeable lag in the music playing on a Squeezebox device. The lag usually ranges from 1 to 7 seconds depending on file size, type etc... When a new track starts playing on MediaMonkey the previous track can still be playing on the Squeezebox device and it will abruptly finish to be replaced by the next piece of music. This is exacerbated by tracks that have no lead out silence such as some classical, opera, progressive rock etc... any music with gap less tracks. What is happening is a delay caused by the track being loaded by a Squeezebox device before it plays (buffering) and delays in MediaMonkey communication as it passes through various computer subsystems. The format of the track can have a significant impact on the issue; when playing mp3 tracks the lag is about 1 to 3 seconds however when playing lossless tracks such as FLAC the lag can be from 4 seconds to 10 seconds in extreme cases. What can be done? Good question. I'm sorry to say at this stage I do not have the skills to do the advanced programming that would be required :( and hence why I'm writing this post. I have a couple of ideas but they may not be achievable or totally off track but I'll table them anyway. 1. If MonkeySqueeze could monitor the track countdown time on a squeezebox device then it could delay the next track from playing until the time falls to 0.00 seconds. A delay between tracks will possibly still occur but it is better than a track abruptly stopping 2. Introduce a synchronise function similar to the one in Squeezebox Server If anyone has better ideas or wishes to contribute to the discussion please take the time to reply. -- Gingernut63 Gingernut63 MonkeySqueeze - Squeezing music into your life!

Re: [slim] MonkeySqueeze
@sander Glad to be of service. Always like happy outcomes. MonkeySqueeze allows MediaMonkey to connect to any Squeezebox Server on your network apart from cut down versions on NAS devices. As per the user guide you can also install SqueezePlay on other PCs and connect them to the current server you are using, it's pretty versatile.

It appears to be installed, but I can find the pdf in C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Auto on my Windows 7 system running MM 3.2.4.1304. Also I don't know if this program does it, but is there a guide which will make Mediamonkey understand ID3 tags the same as Squeeze so I can clean them up in mass.

Re: [slim] MonkeySqueeze
@sander If the MonkeySqueeze script installed then the user guide should have installed as well?? Go to the mmip file monkeysqueezev150110814.mmip and change the extension to .zip. Extract the contents to a folder using your preferred compression program (winrar, winzip etc ...). In the folder you will find the MonkeySqueeze_UserGuide.pdf. Place it in C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Auto so it can be accessed via the button on the settings page. Note: The default location for MediaMonkey in a 32 bit PC is C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey in a 64 bit PC it is C:\Program Files (x86)\MediaMonkey. When you look at the music database management in MediaMonkey and compare it with Squeezebox Server you will find it is light years in front and it gives you a lot of options and flexibility. Try the following site for tagging but be careful as some of it may relate only to version 4 currently under beta testing. http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.php/WebHelp:Content/4.0#Editing_Tracks -- Gingernut63 Gingernut63 MonkeySqueeze - Squeezing more music into your life!

Re: [slim] MonkeySqueeze
I don't think SBS was playing, but it's hard to know exactly happened. I miss both the tools and skills to analyse it. Probably a reboot of the pc could have solved it. Two small things: It is really hard to find the PDF and that is crucial in getting it to work. Try to flash it directly in the user's face. Put it on the desktop, provide a button in the config window. Whatever makes sense. The other is that what you call Squeezeplayer is actually called Squeezeplay. Squeezeplayer is an app for Android. -- Muele BR Mogens 2 Radios (1 battery), 2 Controllers, 2 Receivers, 1 Softsqueeze (at work), SqueezeCommander and SqueezePlayer on Se X10 mini and HTC Desire.

Re: [slim] MonkeySqueeze
@Muele Totally agree, what's the point of having a user guide if no one can find it. I've been investigating ways of making the User Guide more accessible since the initial release. The preferred idea is to use a button on the settings page or as suggested, place on the desktop, however what may seem to be a easy thing to fix is a little more complicated. At present the location of the user guide is given on the MonkeySqueeze Addon site and on the Product installation window when running the mmip file. Will be making changes by the next release. Realised that SqueezePlay was miss-pelt just after making the initial release available. I only proof read the document 20 times and didn't see it until too late. Also the link to SqueezePlay in the guide is broken.

It seems I had to sync the hardwareplayer to Spueezeplay before it worked. after I got it working, I could disable the sync again. It's really cool and I will use it. At least when adding batches of music. One suggestion: In the MonkeySqueeze tab of tools-options you could add a test server-button. The instructions works, but if it is possible to make an automatic installer it would make a big difference. At least bundling w3Sockets and the script. If licenses allow it ofcourse.

Re: [slim] MonkeySqueeze
@Muele Thanks for taking the time to reply, it's great to hear you think MonkeySqueeze is really cool. Yes I'm looking to improve the install and have been thinking of bundling all required software in one package. The next revision is just around the corner so will attempt to do as you suggest. Regarding the the sync issue, did music on MediaMonkey play on Squeezebox Server straight away without problems? Did you then have to select a play device or did music play on SqueezePlay automatically? I'm away on business at the moment so I can't replicate your issue but will look into it when I return in the next day or so. Thanks again for the feedback, lots of people have downloaded MonkeySqueeze but we don't know their opinion of the addon.

Re: [slim] MonkeySqueeze
@Echo No need to change your present config. You can install Squeezebox Server on the PC and run it at the same time as the version on your NAS. When you wish to listen to music using MediaMonkey, run MM and the PC version of Squeezebox Server and direct any Squeezebox devices to connect to the PC server. Just make sure that the music library names in each server are different. Also as indicated in the user guide the PC version of Squeezebox server does not have to be linked to a library folder just an empty folder. No need to wait for the library to load into the server. Remember the original configuration remains the same and not changed in any way. Hope you find this information helpful.

Re: [slim] MonkeySqueeze
@Muele I was the same when I first got MediaMonkey way back in 2008/9. Then, whenever I was at the PC tagging files I would end up playing some tracks using MediaMonkey, while I worked on tagging. The problem was that PC speakers are mediocre and the hassle of plugging the laptop into the Hi-Fi was offputting, to say the least. I found a few scripts on the MediaMonkey Forum and cobbled them together into something that worked for me. It changed the whole experience by routing what ever I was playing on MediaMonkey to my Squeezebox Server and in turn my various players around the house. This was all way back in 2009 and I was using it so often I almost forgot the script exists. Anyway - July 2011 and Ginegernut63, with some small contribution from myself, enhanced the script and got it released as a MediaMonkey addon called MonkeySqueeze for all Squeezebox / MediaMonkey users to access without the hassle of trying to cobble together bits of code from the various MediaMonkey Forum posts. MonkeySqueeze doesn't replace Squeezebox Server but it just means that the program (MediaMonkey) used on the PC for all that tagging, clever playlist creation and the day-job type stuff can finally talk-to the SBS and sound good. The bonus, of course is connecting the laptop to the Hi-Fi doesn't need to even be considered an option. I would say it's a perfect partnership and one I had taken for granted for 2 years or so. If you haven't tried MonkeySqueeze with MediaMonkey and Squeezebox Server give it a whirl and see how it goes. I couldn't imagine MediaMonkey without it and it gives Squeezebox Server an extra dimension regarding real-time playlist. cheers mccstumbe (stumble) -- stumble Music Management: Mediamonkey Ver 4.0.01412 Gold Lifetime Music Server: Logitech Squeezeserver 7.6.0 - r32854 AddOns: MonkeySqueeze Ver 1.0.110721 http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2t=59515 Other Controllers: O2 Joggler (on native OS) running Squeezeplay, Ipeng, Mellorware MonkeyTunes and Plugplayer all on iPhone Players: Squeezebox Duet and 2 x SB Receivers, iPod Touch on JBL OnStage, O2 Joggler with Squeezeplay On Demand Music: LastFM, Spotify stumble's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31501 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89046 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
