Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Ratings Light

2022-03-23 Thread streifenleopard


Hello,
as of today all my ratings have disappeared. I had a couple of rescans
and also some files of the file system have gone missing.
Where would Ratings Light store the ratings and is there any way to get
them back?
Obviously I have not carried out any backup whatsoever and there are no
such files in the folder RL has set up in my playlist folder.

hifiberry dac+ running picoreplayer -- plugins: material skin, mai,
podcasts, musik - folge mir, squeezelite-x, ratings light, exclude
folders

Thanks for the reply and explanation.  Much appreciated!  I can see the
logic behind it not being included.

I guess the sensible thing would be to ‘favourite’ albums and ‘rate’ my
individual tracks within that album as a workaround.  I’m pretty new to
all this and it’s my first real attempt at upkeep of a growing digital
collection.  I am blown away by the quality of the plug ins for all
this, I downloaded ratings last night and my instinct was to rate the
album I just listened to (for the first time) so I thought I’d ask the
question.

Cheers

LMS only stores ratings for individual tracks. There's no column in the
albums table or any other for album ratings. 
So any *displayed* album rating would have to be calculated (i.e.
average track rating of all album tracks). Most people have only very
few rated tracks in an album, and so you get 'meaningful' (average)
album ratings like 0.23 or 0.35. I'm not sure how useful this would be.
*Setting* ratings for an -entire- album basically tells LMS/RL to set
the rating of *all* album tracks to some value - because there is no
album rating other than the calculated one. That would mean: all albums
tracks rated equally and even the best albums have weak tracks...
So is album ratings something you really really want and use then? If
so, maybe a future update will bring an option to display calculated
album ratings and batch rate all album tracks. Though I'm still not
convinced.

Does this plugin support album ratings, or is it just tracks?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] ANNOUNCE: AirPlay Bridge = integrate AirPlay devices with LMS (squeeze2raop)

2022-03-23 Thread devil77


Hello,
i'm new to LMS (runs on a synology with docker) and i'm testing airplay
with my Yamaha MCR-560 player.
Problem is the first start after power off from the Yamaha. LMS don't
react to the buttons (play, next ..) on the Yamaha.
I must open LMS in a browser and hit the play button to start the music.
>From now on i can use play/pause on Yamaha until i power off and on
again.
Is this normal or what can i do so that the buttons have function after
power off on the Yamaha?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty and File Types

2022-03-23 Thread KeBul


Further to my above post, initial test was done using SqueezePlay on my
Mac.

So tried the same album on my different players...

Touch, Boom and Radio - all showed 1411kbps CBR, Ogg Vorbis (Spotify)
(Converted to PCM)

and the Spotty file type settings reverted to:

37546

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotty and File Types

2022-03-23 Thread KeBul


I've never touched any file type settings, so all settings should be at
"default" LMS 8.3 

Here's my Spotty file types:

37542

That intrigued me, very different from yours and had me wondering what
stream I received from Spotify.
So I browsed Spotify from LMS and selected a album to play... track
shows as "320k VBR, Ogg Vorbis (Spotify)" in LMS
and my Spotty files types are now:

37544

The other option from the drop down menu for FLAC is "spotty-hf/flac", I
guess that would become enabled should a FLAC stream be received.

Hope this helps (although it's not helped me :D )

2022-03-23 Thread Michael Herger

Thanks Michael and Slarti. And this is my point, really. I must have
fiddled with the settings at some point. So to put them back to what
they should be, a list of defaults will ensure no problems. Or am I
misinterpreting your comments?


I'm not sure I understand. But basically all those rules are enabled by 
default.
