Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] moose 0.56 cover chooser

I have Moose and slimserver on the same computer and it seems to be mostly working but no album art shows up in the cover chooser. I scanned the server db and when I hit thumbnail refresh it says it is picking up 707 covers. Covers will show up in the now playing section but not one shows in the chooser. I have art as folder.jpg in each albums directory and some files have it embedded as tags. Any ideas? Thanks, Paul Hi Paul, The now playing and library thumbnails do things slightly differently. Is it just the cover chooser, or does the library tab have the same problem ? Also, by default Moose creates a 'thumbs' folder alongside the .exe in which it stores thumbnails. Could you have a look in here and see if it's created them.. -- - Dr Lovegrove http://www.rusticrhino.com/drlovegrove http://groups.google.com/group/moosenews ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Moose and multiple Artist tags
Hmmm, well, I cant repeat the problem in Moose no matter what I do - it always puts the Chris Botti album in the various artists group. I managed to get WMP to tag the files, but it only gives them 1 artist tag per track (albeit with multiple artists in the tag). All the tracks get the band tag, and Moose assumes the album to be a various artists album as not all of the artist tags match. Slimserver seems to use both bands and artists, so the album appears in all combinations, but only the band tag of Chris Botti has the whole album. I guess that's the correct behaviour considering the tags.. Maybe the thing to do is get Moose to look at the band tag if it suspects an album is a various artists, then list it under band rather than VA. Im a bit suprised you're not seeing it in the VA group in Moose though. Is there any way of exporting all your tags in mp3tag so that I can apply them to my set of files ? -- - Dr Lovegrove http://www.rusticrhino.com/drlovegrove http://groups.google.com/group/moosenews ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Moose 0.56
1) Great work, this is quite cool 2) I use a lot of remote streaming (office, country house..)on different PCs. Can I build (moo file + thumbs folder) once and copy it to any PC. I find the remote rebuild very, too much, too long, that is compared to downloading the moo+thumbs. When I tried it said it was out of date moo file... 3) Do we still need to vote for bug 4595 (to browse folder...)

I've started sharing a central one at home now and have a few moose's using it, although there are issues when it gets updated. When Slimserver rescans or adds stuff to its database, all its IDs can change, so Moose has to do a total rescan to be safe. Moose checks when slimserver last changed the database and suggests you rescan if it was later than its own last rescan. You should only get this warning if Slimserver's done something with its database though. I keep meaning to improve the thumbnail re-caching a bit.. Currently it re-fetches and replaces lots of perfectly happy thumbnails.. This should help speed rescans up quite a bit hopefully.. 3) Do we still need to vote for bug 4595 (to browse folder...) Ah, no, the browse folder stuff's in there now I think, although it'll only work on recent SS7's..

I tried ... unfortunately, MP3tag is extracting just a single ARTIST per track. I also tried exporting them with TagRename ... same result. The interesting thing, however, is this: in situations where multiple ARTIST tags exist, MP3tag appears to be choosing the longest of the ARTIST strings. Meanwhile, TagRename is choosing what appears to be the first of the multiple ARTIST strings (which is always the actual artist). I'll attach those export files so you don't think I'm completely loony :-) Note, these files are actually .html files, but I had to rename them as .txt so that this forum would allow me to upload them (you'll want to change them back). Worst case, if this can't be fixed ... I did a quick visual scan of my albums in the Library Tree, and it appears (as best as I can tell from a quick visual inspection of 800+ albums) that only a dozen or so albums suffer from this multiple ARTIST tag situation, so it shouldn't be too bad for me to fix these manually. +---+ |Filename: TagRenameTest.txt| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2996| +---+ -- Jon Jon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2848 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36229 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Moose 0.56
Hey again doc, really cool stuff!!! The one thing(for the moment) : 1) What I used to do with CDs when wandering (instead of precise idea) 2) Browse the covers... 3) Stop on one... 4) Flip it to read the track list 5) Start with one song and the rest random (I use to choose my CD players if they allowed 1st song random) Well how about adding some extra horns to the Moose, especially the cover chooser : 1) As it is 2) Humm, i stay (hover mouse) a bit longer on one album 3) Display track list 4) Right click : start with Random (actually can be set @ player level) Well what I mean is that I would love to acces tracks from Cover chooser.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] SQLPlaylist plugin: play one album then shut off?
I'd like to create a playlist that plays a single randomly chosen album from a specific genre (Lullaby), and then shuts off the squeezebox. I _think_ that SQLPlaylist can be configured to do this, but I'm not sure. I have a few questions: 1) How do I tell it to just play a single random album, instead of always adding another album to the end of the list when there's less than 10 tracks left? 2) Am I correct in thinking that a PlaylistStopAction1:cli: parameter can be used to shut off the squeezebox at the end of the playlist?

Going into the Slim Server software on my PC into the Server Settings / Plug-Ins, I can see that both the Last FM and Scrobbler are checked. However, 1. Last FM does not appear in my list of Internet radios, and 2.
