Hi Erland and Pippin, and thank you for your fast response and patience. 1. Disabling Chartlyrics didn't help in any way. I only get fewer results. 2. So I enabled Chartlyrics again and did some testing. All the following refers to the iPeng lyrics screen but I think (but did not tested it) that the results should be the same in the web interface.

I took the already mentioned album End of Innocence, started iPeng on its lyrics screen and started the first song with the app. Then I skipped through the songs one by one for seven times using the IR remote control.

And here are the results: Column 1 indicates the track number, the seven follwing columns show the results. - means No Lyrics available + means correct lyrics shown and f means fault or wrong lyrics. 1 --+++-+ after 20 min. -++ 2 --+++-+ after 20 min. -++ 3 --+++-+ after 20 min. -++ 4 ---++-+ after 20 min. -++ 5 ---++-+ after 20 min. -++ 6 ---ff-f after 20 min. -ff 7 ---ff-f after 20 min. -ff 8 ---+--+ after 20 min. -++ 9 --- after 20 min. --- 10 ++- after 20 min. -++ All lyrics were found by chartlyrics. You can forget tracks 6,7 and 9. Obviously there are no correct lyrics for these songs. But the other results are quite interesting. It seems as if the results are getting better the more you try... But there is no reason for complaining. The actual plugin is great. I think this shows a problem with the search engine of the chartlyrics services. Nocko! -- Nocko!

Does the problem only occur when you skip through tracks with the IR
remote ?
What happens if you just start playing the album and let it play
through the complete album, does it always show the right lyrics then ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
I just upgraded from 7.4.2 to 7.5.4. Listening to an album, after the first track, the album art is replaced with what I will describe a silver disc (CD). This has always been the case with Slimserver and has been a long standing documented bug. However, this has never happened in iPeng. To be clear, while using iPeng, listening to any track, you would always see the album art. Needless to say, this is a big step backward. Album art is important as it goes to the user experience and functionality of the program (iPeng). So, why did this happen with 7.5.4? Any thoughts? Is there a fix? I will also say I am frustrated with Logitech given that this bug has been outstanding for years. Thanks for a beautifully conceived and supported application.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
Oh my... The problem is that every second version on SBS handles this different, depending which party last complained: Detailed-Party: I have carefully tagged a lot of my files to show individual artwork and now SBS always shows only the album cover Lazy-Party: I only have artwork on some of my files and I want all of the files in an album to show that artwork In the end it comes down to conflicting interests. I believe the real solution (it works for me, at least) is to have a folder.jpg file for each album in the album's folder. Regarding settings: you can set that in the web interface under Settings-iTunes integration. That said: before you turn it off, I would first make sure to configure a Music Folder (Settings-General), that's what you have to do anyway, and then do a Clear and Rescan of the library. Maybe this does already solve it without changing iTunes integration. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: LiveDepartures screensaver plugin
Hello all, Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I have ceased maintaining this plugin, as I no longer have any need to use it. Unfortunately this has co-incided with a major change to the Live Departures website, which this plugin scrapes, thereby rendering the plugin broken. I've put the code on github [1] if anyone wishes to fork it and get it going again. The necessary changes will be to UKStandardRoute.pm.doParseContent(). I also notice that the query URLs have been changed (although the old ones still work) but it may be worthwhile changing those too. I did start work on a plugin for the SBC (way back when it was still called Jive) which could be resurrected too.

In case I see it with the new version I will try to figure out why. I would recommend that you uninstall first. I don't remember if the version that you're using is release or beta, but you definitely want to install the latest beta. Make sure you add: http://srvrpowerctrl.googlecode.com/svn/beta.xml ..to the SBS Settings-Plugins list of 'Additional Repositories' and then install from there. As to why your server isn't making it out of sleep, what operating system are you using on it? If it's some form of linux, you may need to add quirk parameters to the suspend command. For instance, on my server, the full suspend command is: sudo /usr/sbin/pm-suspend --quirk-s3-bios Absent that --quirk-s3-bios parameter, my server exhibits the very same symptoms as yours. You can see a list of the possible quirks supported by your version of pm-utils by ssh-ing into your server and running: pm-suspend --help That will give you a list of the supported quirks...which on my server is: Code: ~# pm-suspend --help pm-suspend [options] Options can change how suspend or hibernate is done. Video quirk handler options: --quirk-dpms-on --quirk-dpms-suspend --quirk-radeon-off --quirk-reset-brightness --quirk-s3-bios --quirk-s3-mode --quirk-vbe-post --quirk-vbemode-restore --quirk-vbestate-restore --quirk-vga-mode-3 --quirk-none Determining which quirk your system might need is largely a matter of trial and error. Unfortunately, the on-line documentation for pm-suspend quirks disappeared a couple of years ago when freedesktop.org suffered a server crash. They've never restored the page. I managed to dredge up a google cached version of that page and I've included it in SrvrPowerCtrl's help pages. Again...all this assumes that you're running some linux distro. If you're running windows or if your server is a mac...then nothing I've said applies...and I don't have a good idea as to why your server won't resume. But with both windows and OSX there are system logs you can take a look at which might shed light on the situation. -- gharris999 gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] itunes half-stars
Well I found the solution after googling. Apparently v10 of itunes has a nasty habit of defaulting back to full stars. In order to restore half stars and functionality of itunesupdater you need to do the following modification to the iTunesPrefs.xml file (I recommend you make a back up of this first): 1. Make sure you are closed out of the iTunes application. 2. Navigate to your iTunesPrefs.xml file. ItÂ’s normally located in one of the locations below. C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes in Windows XP or C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes in Vista and Windows 7. 3. Open the file using a text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad. 4. Scroll down to where is says: keyUser Preferences/key dict 5. Immediately below that line, type the following: keyallow-half-stars/key data dHJ1ZQ== /data 6. Close and save the iTunesPrefs.xml file. Now, the next time you open iTunes, you should be able to give songs a rating using half-stars. The new half-star rating system is even compatible with any iPod devices you sync up with. -- ajmitchell http://www.last.fm/user/ajmitchell ajmitchell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=800 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87158 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
