Currently the only way to do that would be to use the "(...)" more menu
of a track, and drill down to local artwork. This should then show the
artwork which can be clicked on to enlarge. I guess ideally what you'd
like is to click on the context-menu for an album and show its cover? If
so, you can achieve that be creating a file named
"material-skin/actions.json" within your LMS's "prefs" folder - with the
following:
Code:
{
"album":[
{
"title":"Show cover",
"script":"bus.$emit('dlg.open', 'gallery', ['$IMAGE'], 0, true);",
"icon":"photo"
}
]
}
See https://github.com/CDrummond/lms-material/wiki/07-Customisation for
more info.

The cover art of all albums appears when I'm browsing, by artist, by album, whatever. When I'm playing a track, I can click the small art in the playback bar, and it enlarges to a much larger size. What I want to be able to do is expand that artwork on tracks that are NOT the currently playing track. My files are all .m4a (ALAC) files, with artwork embedded in the file. There are NO folder.jpg files, nor any 'artwork' folders. This works fine in the LMS client and in OrangeSqueze (Android). The feature doesn't appear to be there in SLX. rich.sherr...@live.com's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63576 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108550 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Beta Announce] Revised Inguz DSP plugin
I have re-written large chunks of the plugin perl scripts to be compliant with squeezebox install conventions, and should be much easier to install going forward. This means that the binaries should be distributed in the install zip and "live" on ..\Cache\InstalledPlugins\Plugins\InguzEQ\Bin. This location should be visible in settings Information Helper file location. so on a typical Linux install will be in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/InguzEQ/Bin and on windows C:\ProgramData\Squeezebox\Cache\InstalledPlugins\Plugins\InguzEQ\Bin What does this mean? Well the installer should now take care of identifying what platform you are running LMS on and choose the appropriate binary copy it and set any missing run permissions. I have "borrowed" code from UPNP-Bridge to handle this, but obviously may have missed something. I have tested on Windows and 64 bit Linux and these platforms work fine. NB - I have maintained a degree of backward compatibility as it will default to the original folders if "Cache" or "cache" is not found in the file path, but this won't affect many people. The main thing to note, is if you try some manual interventions on linux all the files and folders will need to be owned by squeezeboxserver otherwise copying and changing mode do not work I have also moved the Inguz preferences settings and logs to a more platform neutral folder, ..\prefs\InguzEQ. so on a typical Linux install will be in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs/InguzEQ and on windows C:\ProgramData\Squeezebox\prefs\InguzEQ This means, that if you are upgrading from an existing version of Inguz you will need to copy your preferences across on linux this will be from /usr/share/InguzEQ and on Windows from C:\ProgramData\InguzEQ Installation instructions. Open Server Settings choose Plugins tab - scroll to the bottom of the page and add an entry for my GitHub repository & the plugin definition in there. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Foxenfurter/SqueezeBoxEQ/main/plugin.xml Press apply - and wait until the server restarts. The install is quite big and takes a while push all the files into place. The menu options should now be in place and any custom configs should be built for your players, however the DSP Engine is not yet enabled. So if you play music it will pass through unaffected. So restart the server again, and you should be good to go. How do I know it is running. 1 - check the log file in the Inguz prefs folder (above). If it is blank nothing has run. 2 - check vs task manager in windows or use top in Linux. The load is sporadic so you may have to watch a while. 3 - test with an extreme and horrible eq Setting. I set the balance hard left and bump up the bass massively. Sound should be boomy and be skewed to the left channel. Note - when you change settings on the User Interface the effect is not immediate, I have not timed the buffer but it is more than 20 s, so the best way to get an immediate effect is to restart the currently playing track. This restarts the audio pipe, depending on how powerful your server you will get some lag on start-up. On my i5 6600k it is about 1s on an old celeron based server it is about 5s and on a raspberry pi 3B it is about 20s. foxesden's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116119 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Android apps which are syncing correctly with my system as described
Hi, I have now found my final configuration: - 1 dietpi Raspberry Pi 4b with Logitech Media Server (lms) - 4 Picore Players with Jivelite running on Raspberry Pi B, Raspi Pi 3b (2 times) and Raspberry Pi 4b - 2 PC Apps, running on Ubuntu Linux 22.04 and Windows 10 with Squeezelite-X All are in perfect sync, if my unstable wireless lan works fine (this is essential in my eyes, unstable wlan causes many interruptions, cause the system is not capable of clustering the good connected devices from the rest). All of a sudden, I have a party once a year (normally my birthday party). Then I want to use a seventh device, namely my Android app with my Bose Soundlink Mini box on the balcony. I have tried the following apps: - Squeezer (control) with Squeezeplay (client connection to server) - SqueezeControl (control) with SqueezePlay (connection to server) Actually I work with the second configuration with a delay of 100ms. It is acceptable, but little hall. The experience of the past shows unfortunately that this shifts and is not stable. Does anybody knows of a system with android which synchronizes as perfect as Squeezelite-X on Ubuntu/Windows, or PicorePlayer/Jivelite? If it not works perfectly synced it is a mess during a party playing synchronized music...
