The drive is FAT32 to maintain compatibility with Windows.

License Manager only need an internet connection in the following
cases:
1. When you first validate the license after installation (in which case
you have internet connection since you have just downloaded and
installed the plugin)
2. When the license is re-validated whe the previous license has expired
(for the evaluation license this would happen after 30 days)
3. When the license is re-validated when you install a new plugin
version (in which case you have internet connection since you have just
downloaded the new plugin version)
So if you would decide to get a one year license, you would need
internet connection at installation time and once every year and when
you upgrade the plugin.
If you get the life time license you would only need internet connection
at installation time and when you upgrade the plugin.

The commands in question s you want to explore is *cd* (for moving around just like in DOS prompt ) and *chmod* and *chown* . Is the is rigths and owners/user on the system .

Find the where it the folders are in the linux file structure a gues is /mnt or /media but you get some clues from lms web UI while you try to browse there . Exemple only valid for me : # chmod 777 -R /media/cover this is my cover art folder named "cover" that is in my media folder and i changed the rights to read and write for everyone (the 777 part ) and the -R means recursively for subfolders to that folder . This may seem a bit sloppy to some (it is lazy I admit ) you could experiment with chown which rougly is "change owner" and a more restrictive rw options (if you google you find what these 3 numbers mean and make a more restricted schoice ) . The LMS is running by its own user account that usually is squeezeboxserver (can be something else) besides that you have root and possibly some other user I dont know the plug distro . So you could change the owner to squeezeboxserver . *mkdir* is also useful you can make the folders directly in the commandline My lazy approach is because this is "just" the music share that I have back-upped etc .

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Music & Artist Information plugin
Excellent enhancements. Scan for artists went from 12,000+ to 3,178 and took 2:37 to complete on my workstation. Copied the Artist Pictures folder to my low powered LMS server, configured the settings and did a new and changed scan that completed the artist picture lookup in less than an hour. Browsing by artist is showing up some more of my bad tagging - Händel, G F and Handel, G F for instance. For the Album Art, the "Find Albums with missing artwork" listing under Extras on the Web interface has been very useful - I have been slowly reducing the number of missing covers while listening to music on the boom in my study, maybe a similar "Find Artists with missing pictures" would make it easier than browsing through the Artists looking for "Man with Trumpet".

It's not cleared because TrackStat will pick up standard LMS information
about when a song was played last.

Sounds like the problem is related to musicbrainz so you probably need
to have that disabled in TrackStat settings.

This is what happens when Musicbrainz has been enabled in TrackStat and
you have duplicate songs in your library. Every time TrackStat performs
a refresh you will get additional duplicate entries in the TrackStat
data.

Exactly, the issue is when you have multiple instances of the same song
on different albums, in this case you will get duplicates and the
duplicates will multiply every time TrackStat executes its Refresh
operation. For it to work properly you need to follow the procedure I
listed in my previous post:
1. Make a TrackStat backup, see "Backup statistics before
upgrade/reinstall" section of TrackStat documentation:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.ph...de.2FReinstall
2. Disable musicbrainz tags in TrackStat settings page
3. Perform a full rescan, clear all TrackStat data and restore the
backup from point 1, see "Restore statistics after upgrade/reinstall"
secton of TrackStat documentation:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.ph...de.2FReinstall
In point 3, you don't have to restore the backup if you want to start
fresh, but it's important to perform the rescan and clear all TrackStat
data because else the duplicates won't be removed.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
Thanks for the quick answer! 1) Before doing your procedure, I try the following when MusicBrainz was enable : 1.1) play a song that exist only in one examplar in my Music folder : no problem, it appear only one time in "last played song" 1.2) play a song that exist in 2 or 3 examplars in my Music folder : the problem occur like you can see in the screen shot in "last played song" It seems the issue occurs on song present in mulpiple examplar. 2) I follow your procedure. But in the first time, I don't restore the backup and the end as for the test I prefer to have all stat deleted. 3) I check the trackstat (Last played song) and it should be cleaned but it's not the case. I can see a list that contains a wrong list of "last song played".Not important at this step. 3) I play the same song as before : UB40 - Cherry Oh Baby. Now, it's working. I see only one song : see "trackstat3.jpg" 4) I reanable the MusicBrainz parameter. I play the same song "UB40 - Cherry Oh Baby" Now, it appears 3 times (corresponding to the 3 files in my Music Folder) : trackstat4.jpg. That's OK! 6) Then I do the following test because I'm busy to TAG my songs and I certainly do something wrongly. 6.1) I rename the parent folder containing the UB40 songs to UB40-v2 (I move the files after MusicBrainz TAG) 6.2) I do a "Clear Library and rescan everything". In TrackStat setting "Rescan refresh" is enabled. 6.3) I don't play the song "UB40 - Cherry Oh Baby." 6.4) Check "last played song" and I see that I have a different behavior : see trackstat5.jpg. Now the song is showed 5 times. 6.5) When I check with Mp3Tag : I see that this song is only 3 times on the server : trackstat6.jpg 7) I continue my investigation. 7.1) I play the song one more time from the album "The Very Best of UB40 1980-2000" 7.2) Check "last played song" : it shows 4 times. At this point, I suppose : - the first stat is when I played the song from the old folder. - the 3 other stats correspond to the song played in the new folder. Maybe the path is taken into account, but with MusicBrainz it should not. 7.3) I rename the parent folder to UB40-V3 and restart the step 6.1 to 6.4 Play the song : now it show 5 times 8) I use "Delete unused statistic" in Trackstat. 9) I use "Refresh statistic after rescan" : I suppose it had been run after the "Clear Library and rescan everything". Play again "UB40 - Cherry Oh Baby".And now, I see 11 times the same track : trackstat9.jpg what am I doing wrong? Must I follow your procedure about "Inconsistency/Problems" ? It seems that when a song is present only one time, I don't have duplication, but when a song is present more than one time, each time I play it, I have an increasing duplication in the list. +---+ |Filename: trackstat6.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=15295| +---+ ASUS S1 D525 ATOM with 1GB on Linux Gentoo Version : 7.5.5 - r32671 Plate-forme : i686-linux Version de Perl : 5.12.4 - i686-linux Version de MySQL : 5.1.70-log 1 x Squeezebox Touch : 7.5.1-r9009 1 x Squeezebox Boom + 1 x Squeezebox Receiver SqueezeCommander (0.9.6.1) HTc WildFire esa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9362 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49483 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Doing a new and changed scan still uses about 26 minutes for artist picture scanning (after having just done the full scan), but from reading above, this may be improved in the next version. *Location 1:* VortexBox (2.2) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VBA 3TB (2.2) > LMS 7.7.2 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.8 > SqueezePlay *Spares:* VBA 4TB, SB3, Touch (3), Radio (3), CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone4S (iPeng), iPad2 (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Tagging - mp3tag, Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99537 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Smart Mix plugin
Michael - thanks for your help. I'm afraid I'm not making much progress. I tried deleting the prefs file and letting it build a new one. Then if I got to the Blender and try creating a new recipe, exactly the same thing happens - I get "ARRAY" again as the second track. Ok, then it's probably a bug in the Blender (which I haven't investigated yet). That's probably the piece of information I was asking for: I didn't know you started those mixes from the Blender directly. When you say my profile only knows 371 tracks, I'm not sure I understand where you see that - I couldn't see that in the log or the prefs file. My LMS library has over 9000 songs. Are you referring to my Smart Mix library? Smart Mix does read your library and send some metadata to the.echonest.com. This data is require to create your "taste profile". But from the logs I'm seeing that your profile only knows about 371 tracks. This can have various reasons: bad tagging in your files, a rather exotic musical taste (TEN doesn't know the vast majority of your tracks for whatever reason), or the export task fails and stops working at some point. Therefore I'd suggest you enable debugging for plugin.smartmix and re-run a full wipe & rescan. Then send me the scanner.log again. Thanks! That said: the biggest issue in your poor mixes most likely is a bug in the Blender or playlist creation, not your data. -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Music & Artist Information plugin
Goflex net squeezeplug. Orange squeeze sometimes takes a long time to populate the artist artwork even after caching. Having said that it seemed fairly fast this morning after scrolling through the list once. I think there was a bug in the pre-caching, causing the image not to be read from the cache, but doing an additional roundtrip. You should give 0.7.x another try (if you haven't done so already). -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Music & Artist Information plugin
Fine but it seems it actually downloaded all pictures again ?? even if have a full of artist pictures in my folder or did it just take 7,5 minute to check them ? That should be fixed in the next release: until now the artwork, even if stored locally, would have been pre-cached again during every scan. In the next release it will only do so if the file is not in the cache or has been changed. Dropped execution time for the artist image pre-caching step on my server from >5 minutes to 7 seconds :-). -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Are you referring to my Smart Mix library? Is there a simple way to reset and start again - I didn't have many recipes and they are easy to recreate. I rather hoped that deleting the prefs file would solve the problem.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Local Player plugin and Squeezelite for Linux/Windows/OSX

But it could be a setting in the OS in my Linux mint desktop it was . So maybe you have to set all of windows to output 24/96 . In my case squeezelite is not running on my server but another machine so i have manually installed it . manually installing squeezelite may give more options to use in the comandline at startup , a lot of options more than I can describe . Thats why i only answered yes , hoping some one who fidled in windows lately would have clue on exactly what to tweak :) HOWEVER I INSTALLED THE PLUGIN JUST TO SEE WHAT IT DOES IT HAS A SETTING . *Additional Options (Advanced)* where can you put comand line options to maybe pick the right output device instructions here https://code.google.com/p/squeezelite/ There are gazilions of thing that could go off the hook in computer audio .
