mamema - tell me more , please. The docker hub -
https://hub.docker.com/r/mamema/musicip_wine - entry is 'sparse'.

When you say "So i created a linux docker with wine and the windows
version of musicip" is this the full gui or just a headless 1.9ish
version ?
What are the commands to load the container  ? I have MIP running using
this script -
docker run -d \
--name=musicip \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=Australia/Sydney \
-p 10002:10002 \
-v
"/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-cd59f9cd-585b-4c6f-840f-966d2e6e45cc/Storage/Music":"/music":rw
\
-v "/SSD_Data/MIP":"/config":rw \
--network host \
--restart unless-stopped \
ptoulouse/musicip

My son got the linux 1.8 version with the GUI (MusicMagicMixer) running
for me on Ubuntu but has not visited since I built an Open Media Vault
server (as a replacement for an old Vortex Box) and used SeanMiddleton's
instructions to install LMS and MIP containers. I am going to get my son
to put the Linux MIP GUI in a container, but if you have the windows MIP
GUI in a container that will be much better as it was not just high res
files that had bugs and the Linux MIP is single threaded while the Win
will go to 8 threads.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP/Sugarcube Questions

[Wirrunna]

You should run the analysis at one location and archive the analysis,
then sync. 
One issue is that your time sequence of adding music will be
compromised, i.e. New Music will be useless. If you tick the options,
general - preserve fie modification time when updating files then your
music will be analysed and archived but if sync is based on time stamp
it won't be synced. The way around this is to batch analyse and use
BulkFileChanger on Windows to add 5 seconds to the modified time.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Success: MusicIP and Spicefly Sugarcube running on Raspberry Pi

[Wirrunna]

Frankd, slartibartfast and CypherMK,
What is the starting point for getting this going ? Obviously a running
version of LMS on a RPi is needed, but what are the recommendations ?

May I suggest an addition to "the first post" to include something along
the lines of :

Prerequisites for running MusicIP with LMS on a RPi
Recommended Hardware - RPi 4 - 4Gb, 64Gb SD card, FLIRC case .
OS - Download Raspbian buster lite from
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ and install it.
LMS - Download Debian Installer Package (ARM) from
http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.9  <<-- ??? Is that the
right version ?
Follow instructions from ? to install and get LMS running.

Just found https://www.mediahuman.com/lyrics-finder/ .
Testing shows it embeds lyrics in the appropriate tags for FLAC and MP3,
is fast and simple drag'n'drop. Doesn't update the modified timestamp
though.

Ynot,
I have started "kicking the tyres" of this and after a frustrating few
hours of climbing the Hass.io learning cliff I am looking forward to
your next release. 
So, before I perform "The following files need to be edited to add your
personal access keys, secrets, links and passwords for access to Home
Assistant, Spotify, LMS Server, etc.." is your next release imminent or
should I continue blundering my way forward with the Hass Assistant and
manual editing ?

Inguz created custom-convert.conf files based on "client type" -

The Inguz plugin.pm performs two basic functions -
1. gather filter data - eg graphic equaliser filters, room correction
filters etc and set filters for the convolver
2. generate custom-convert.conf settings for each particular file type.

Now here is where I get a bit selfish, I only have flac and mp3 in my
library and those work fine through Inguz, but now I want to play an
aac+ stream and it doesn't even play. I have tried deleting the aap (aac
plus) line from the cuctom-convert.conf but it still didn't play

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AAC+ Transcoding help needed.

bpa, 
Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.2 - 1535981655 @ Mon Sep 3 15:44:00
CEST 2018, on a Vortexbox, Fedora 25.

It is the Inguz created custom-convert.conf that is the problem. With
Inguz plugin uninstalled the aac+ streams play.

I set logging on player.source to debug and generated a lot of messages

[SlimDevices: Plugins] AAC+ Transcoding help needed.

[Wirrunna]

Long time user of Inguz EQ, but only just tried internet radio streaming
due to the demise of an old stereo receiver.

Discovered that the stations I want to get are AAC+ and play fine until
the Inquz plugin is loaded. 
Inguz plugin.pm creates a custom-convert.conf that directs files through
the Inguz magic:

I suspect the first line is the problem = mplayer was replaced during
LMS 7.2 or thereabouts. 
Now I tried 

Code:

[faad] -q -w -f 1 $FILE$ | [InguzDSP] -id "7c:dd:90:bc:60:b1" -wav -wavo -d 
24 | [flac] -cs -5 --totally-silent -

 
but that didn't work.
As it is relatively simple to alter the code in Inguz plugin.pm I was
hoping one of the gurus could offer a helpful suggestion.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Music & Artist Information plugin

[Wirrunna]

Michael, would you add something like this to the first post in this
thread to document some features that newer users may not know about.
--
Music & Artist Info (MAI) can display album artwork, artist pictures,
pdf and html files associated with an artist. The plugin assumes the
Artist/**Album folder structure and will add "Local Artwork" and "Text
files from music folder" menu items in the "*M*"ore menu when local
files are found.

The "local artwork" will give you access to any artwork file stored
inside the album's folder.

"Text files from music folder" will display pdf, html and txt files such
as booklets provided with digital downloads that are stored inside the
album's folder.

There is a bit of special treatment for the bio.html: the plugin would
actually walk up a few folder levels searching for anything bio*,
assuming that most users have an Artist/Album folder structure.

Artist pictures are either stored as artist.jpg/png in an album folder,
or as "artist name.jpg/png" in the configurable one for all artists
images folder.
-
Also, it would be more logical to add a similar treatment for artist
pictures as you did for the bio.html - i.e. allow artist.jpg to be put
in the artist folder as well as the artist/album folder.

You can also include a file called artist.jpg in a folder with tracks
for the artist.

I remember being in awe of this as I stretched the app to show the cover

it the next day.
Its late down under, I'll check tomorrow if things have changed.

kidstypike, "open maximised on start up" - would you want a check box
for this (remembering that our developer is very keen on an uncluttered
settings page) ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Squeezelite-X

Greg,
Squeezelite-X works perfectly for me.
WOL starts my VortexBox LMS server as soon as I launch Squeezelite-X on
my Win 8.1 laptop.

For users that have come in late and have Windows lower than Win10 and
therefore can't use the Windows Store, download details are here :

(Greg, perhaps you could put those details at the bottom of your opening
post). 

Well done and thank you again for an excellent app.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Squeezelite-X

[Wirrunna]

Just got home after a month away. 
Loaded Squeezelite-X 1.3.2. Works perfectly, saw the port config option,
available if you want it but if you don't then it stays hidden. Good way
of doing it as the screen stays uncluttered.

There was a plugin update notice at the bottom of the LMS screen, so I
updated the plugin, restarted LMS but the update notice was still there.
Couldn't remember how to refresh Squeezelite-X so just closed and
restarted.
Is there a way (apart from close / restart) of refreshing the LMS screen
?

Charles,
Great idea.

First attempt appears to have hung, says (Not Responding) on top line of
the gui display, also says Files Scanned 10 and lists track 10 in the
first album but is displaying 14 tracks in its table. Task manager shows
SFME is using CPU and accessing the music library so I will let it run
as there are 7,000 MP3 tracks for it to check.

As a long time user of Spicefly SugarCube on one system and Don't Stop

Michael, on my system if there are lyrics they already display in the
web gui on the left pane if you have clicked on he track in the
playlist. I notice that there is now an option after Artist Information
for Lyrics that displays only the lyrics. 

If the track doesn't have Lyrics, does your plugin retrieve them and
save them ? "cause when I click on Lyrics when they aren't there all
that displays is "HASH(0x95dbfe0)"  - well it displayed twice while I
was testing.

Am I missing something ?

I have saved lyrics to an awful lot of my tracks using the Foobar plugin
foo_uie_lyrics3.

Great plugin, really good.
I had tried an audiobook once before but it was a pita to restart where

Off Topic, but the audio books that I tried were mp3 at encoded at
either 22 or 32 instead of 44.1, so they played fine on my boom but were
like chipmunks on the Raspberry pi players. Solved by re-encoding to
44.1   .

MIP converts the music track it is analyzing to .wav internally then
analyzes it. If the m4a spec changed since MIP development ceased then
MIP probably can't convert it.

You should be able to convert the m4a to mp3 at the same bit rate so you
don't lose any more detail, then MIP will be able to analyze the track.
Then you could even copy the MIP tags back to the m4a file using MP3Tag,
a google search for "MP3Tag copy tag from file to file" gives a few
options.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] SugarCube and MusicIP for music mixing

[Wirrunna]

MIP analyzable tracks - could you list a few filenames of these tracks.
MIP won't analyze tracks shorter than 10 seconds, and sometimes tracks
with a "-" won't analyze either, e.g. The Beatles Ob-la-di, ob-la da
unless you change the file name to Ob - la - di, in other words it needs
a blank either side of the dash..

SugarCube will use the parameters that you set up in it for MIP although
I usually set the MIP mix parameters the same in both MIP and
SugarCube.

As MIP is now "abandon-ware" , other than on the Spicefly sugarCube site
there is no documentation.

Because a thousand MP3 tracks at say 225 take up a lot less room on an

Subaru is not as good as my Klipschorns at home so I don't notice the
drop in quality.

So that's what you've been up to.

Most of my music is in FLAC, so the workflow I use to  get music to my
Android phone has been build a mix in MIP, drag to Foobar, convert to
MP3 and then copy the MP3 to the SD card on my phone using ES File
Explorer, play using Media Monkey for Android.

A challenge - convert lossless to MP3 on the way through !

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)

Fired up my Vortexbox this morning, ready to try Philippe's dev version
only to be greeted with "Plugin updates are available (Chromecast
bridge)".

Over to the plugins page where it said that Chromecast bridge (v0.2.1.0)
was available. 
So, into Putty and systemctl stop squeezeboxserver, then deleted
libssl.so and libcrypto.so from /usr/lib64, then systemctl start
squeezeboxserver.
Into the gui, Settings / Plugins and installed Chromecast bridge
(v0.2.1.0), set it to use squeeze-2-cast-x86-64-static , click apply and
away it went !

Gold star for Philippe ! Thank you.

Philippe, I will monitor this thread a little more closely looking out
for the release of the 64-static version. 

If that gets installed with file permissions of 755 by your plugin then
Chromecast will work on Vortexbox with no fiddling. 
Perhaps a brief note in the help suggesting that the 64-static version
be tried first due to its no dependencies would also be useful.

Thank you again for the plugin.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)

[Wirrunna]

I bought two Chromecast devices yesterday, an Audio and a Chromecast for
the TV.

I installed the Castbridge plugin on my Vortexbox 2.4 running Fedora 23
64 bit, LMS Version: 7.9.0 - 1463151428 @ Mon May 16.

Castbridge installed OK but wouldn't work. 

After searching I found reference to permissions for
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/CastBridge/Bin/squeeze-2-cast-x86-64
not including executable
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?104614-Announce-CastBridge-integrate-Chromecast-players-with-LMS-%28squeeze2cast%29=853153=1#post853153)
, Filezilla changed the permissions to 755.

Logging on in Putty and executing squeeze-2-cast-x86-64 showed some
missing dependencies as detailed here -
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?104614-Announce-CastBridge-integrate-Chromecast-players-with-LMS-%28squeeze2cast%29=841141=1#post841141
- searching for the missing modules ie libssl.so and libcrypto.so and
copying them into the /lib64 directory enabled squeeze-2-cast-x86-64 to
be executed.

So, then it was a simple matter of re-booting the server, going to the
Chromecast Bridge settings in the Plugins tab and selecting
squeeze-2-cast-x86-64 - don't select squeeze-2-cast-x86-64-static as it
doesn't exist ! 

I didn't change anything else and the two Chromecast devices were
detected and appeared in the list of players. So far I have only
streamed/cast to the audio player as I typed this.

Thank you Philippe and your tireless testers CommanderROR, kidstypike ,
bpa, passtim and the rest.

The answer to the sudoers is in the last post in your thread here -
http://vortexbox.org/forum/vortexbox/help/64030-vortexbox-power-management.
I added " %squeezeboxserver ALL = NOPASSWD:/bin/systemctl* "  which as
Gordon said in his post isn't wise or secure, but it works. 

The Server Power Control (SPC) setup gives you the ability to suspend or
hibernate your server as well as shutdown. As my Vortexbox headless
servers use an SSD for the system disk bootup time is just a few seconds
so I have never used the hibernate or suspend, I just configured SPC to
shutdown the server after 15 minutes of idle.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Daphile + Erland's License Manager + Spicefly Sugarcube = not working as intended

[Wirrunna]

bakker_be, I just built a couple of VortexBoxes and I copied Prefs from
an older VortexBox which ensured that all my settings and plugins
remained the same. You could try copying Prefs from the Windows box to
the Daphile box. I use FileZilla to transfer stuff from a Win 7 box to
the Vortexbox.
Restart LMS after copying prefs, on the Vortexboxes I had to tick the
boxes to install License Manager and Spicefly. You will also have to
change music directories. Save a copy of Prefs in case it all goes
totally wrong (rename it to saveprefs). Also check the file attributes
of the plugins after copying prefs.

In the web gui you should have a TrackStat menu item - Home / My Music/
TrackStat - that has "Choose statistics to view", select the statistic,
wait a second or two and the data will display.

No, not that folder, the folder you specified in the Settings/ Plugins/

The first scan that populates the artist pictures folder is slower than
a wet week in Wee Waa, but subsequent scans are much quicker.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Music Artist Information plugin

[Wirrunna]

Early versions of this plugin populated this folder with %artist%.jpg
files, allowing the manual replacement of artist photos or addition of
photos if the plugin couldn't find one on the web.

Yesterday I saved and then deleted the folder with the intention of
getting an updated series of photos when a new clear and rescan was run.
To my surprise, no %artist%.jpg files were added during the Artist
picture lookup phase of the rescan and it took an hour longer than when
the folder was populated. (I have since restored it).

How is this folder populated now? Is it purely manual? Is there a way of
telling the plugin to populate it to save web searches for subsequent
rescans ?

 How would I configure the plugin?
 
 Neither:
 
 %GENRE/ARTIST/composer.jpg
 
 ..nor..
 
 %GENRE/%ARTIST/composer.jpg
 
 in the Folder with artist photos field seems to work.

Gordon, 
First off, LMS scanner won't find any jpg or html files unless there is
a music track in the same directory.

So, to get your bio and composer files recognised you need to add a flac
or mp3 file to the folder containing the those files.

I have attached a zip file containing a flac file with tags of Du Fay, G
as artist, Biography as album. The file is 5 seconds of silence in case
someone plays it.

Download this file, unzip and place in /mnt/Media/Music/a_Medieval/Du
Fay, G/13 Silence.flac

Then copy /mnt/Media/Music/a_Medieval/Du Fay, G/composer.jpg and paste
as /mnt/Media/Music/a_Medieval/Du Fay, G/artist.jpg

Now run a scan for new and changed.

When that has finished, browse by artists to Du Fay, there will be his
artist.jpg displayed, click either the picture or his name.
Du Fay's albums will be listed, there will be an album called Biography,
click the M icon for this album and there will be a Local Artwork and
Text files from music folder menu items displayed. Local Artwork will
list available jpg or png files for display, Text files will list html,
txt or pdf files available for display.

I have found that some html files will take several minutes to load as I
suspect there must be some external url's in them that take a while to
time out. 
The album name could of course be changed to Biography - click the M
icon to view or some such instruction.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Music Artist Information plugin

[Wirrunna]

Gordon,
You could use the Local Artwork feature to display your artist biography
in a similar way to how I have set up booklets from a few box sets.

For instance, the Emmylou Harris Songbird 4cd box set has a 200 page
booklet with a page or so for each track. After scanning, I created a
directory called Songbird Booklet that is listed in explorer next to
Songbird Disc 1, Songbird Disc 2 etc.
The Songbird Booklet contains all the scans from the booklet and a flac
file of 5 seconds of silence. 
The flac file is tagged Artist - Emmylou Harris, Album - Songbird
Booklet, Title - A Booklet (Silence).

Then, browsing or searching by album will bring up an album called
Songbird Booklet (along with the other Songbird discs), clicking the
album brings up a single track called 1. A Booklet and then clicking the
M button next to either the Album or the track will display the Local
Artwork option and then the booklet.

Reading this sounds like a lot of clicks, but it isn't as clumsy as it
reads, and the booklets are available on my Nexus 7 and 10 tablets in
OrangeSqueeze as well as from the LMS web GUI.

For your classical composers, you could create a bio sub directory under
the Artist, include your Artist.jpg picture and bio.jpg. To get LMS to
scan it you then need the dummy (silence) flac file tagged
appropriately.

 If I delete picture from the artist picture folder and exceute clear and

 After that picture will not show any more (even when it is still located

auster, good explanation of the now you see it, now you don't artist

Fix - display artist picture for artists with special characters in

Enhancement - add display local artwork html files, then my scheme
detailed in the my previous post would work for Gordon's bio.html files.

Display html in general.
My thinking was that GHarris mentioned that he had some 900 different
artists with composer.html and bio.html files, so he could use the Local
Artwork function to display these files.
Gordon, what do you think of this idea ?

however if using browse by artist, the artist.jpg only displays if the

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Music Artist Information plugin

I am trying to figure out how the Artist picture lookup works. From this
post
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?99537-Announce-Music-amp-Artist-Information-pluginp=761551viewfull=1#post761551
it says mherger wrote: 
  ... Therefore the full list of artists is processed each time you run
 a scan. If you have a local folder with artist pictures, this should
 speed up things considerably, as the scanner will check this first,
 before going online.Michael

This implies that in the plugin's settings if all 3 boxes are ticked and
a folder specified, then if I put an artist picture.jpg in the folder
and the artist picture is exactly the same as the Artist then this
picture will be used in the browse by artist (and the scan for artist
pictures should be quick as there is no online lookup).

This doesn't always work. One of my problems is accented characters -
for instance for artist Béla Fleck the plugin has stored Béla
Fleck.jpg in my designated Artist Pictures folder. For artist Bartók, B
the picture Bartók, B.jpg is ignored and Man With Trumpet is
displayed

My system is Win 7/64, local disks . I obviously need some setting for
the (very) occasional accented characters. Help please.

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.

 Thanks again for this, like the other ones!

Have you tried the Local Artwork ? - This lets you display .jpg files as
well as the cover.jpg that are in the same folder as the music. Typical
is the back.jpg and booklets.

 second, I started checking for artist pictures but it took really too
 long during scan, because of my really-huge-collection...so I decided to
 give up...the question: the pictures downloaded til my stop are stored
 somewhere on my pc? could I erase them, if I found where?
 thanks again, Michael!

First - version v0.6.1 fixed the asking for upgrade, but it is safe to
ignore it. However, v0.6.1 has the settings on the plugin page.
Second - The plugin is still under development, I think a new version
will be out soon that will speed up the scan times. Michael will post in
this thread when that happens.

Thank you for the detailed reply.


 Can the MAIP save the artist pictures to the configured Folder with
 Artist Photos ? Which would then enable a user to replace a picture
 with a preferred one.

It currently doesn't do this automatically. But from the web UI you can 

easily save it in that folder.

To save - right click on the image, select Save image as ., select
the folder, type in the Artist Name. Repeat x many times, where x = the
number of artists in your library !

There is a real opportunity for a utility to automate this.

Down under in Australia when you are out in the sticks, the i.p. packets
have to find a way around the local bushfires, battle with kids
downloading movies, swim the Pacific Ocean twice,  and eventually report
back to LMS.  Takes a while.

The problem is also compounded by a bunches of Hits of the ...ies -
lots of artists with only 1 or 2 tracks, no pictures, never seen since
their 15 minutes of fame.

Michael, a bunch of us are seeing a loading problem
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?100285-Why-many-men-with-an-equal-number-of-trunpets/page2)

However, I suspect that the new version loads as the first time I tried
a browse by artist my system froze for a minute or two, then displayed
some nice artist pictures. 

Does the Music  Artist Info plugin (MAIP) cache the artist pictures
from session to session ? Or are they re-populated each time LMS starts
?

Does the MAIP have to re-populate the cache after a Clear  Re-scan ?

Can the MAIP save the artist pictures to the configured Folder with
Artist Photos ? Which would then enable a user to replace a picture
with a preferred one.

Also, the plugin's settings only appear under the Settings/Advanced tab
in Music and Artist information, would be good if the settings appeared
on the plugin page.

 Michael

First off, we are dealing with Local Music. 

We don't have an Artist until we have a Track with an artist tag.

Tracks are usually organised into Albums of a single artist but can be
in an album of multiple artists (in the case of a compilation or Various
Artists album). There can be many albums for an artist.

I suggest a simple rule for building the browse by artist images:
If Scan Artist Image option is yes, then when a new artist is
encountered, scanner stores the first artist.jpg found where artist.jpg
is in the album folder just like cover.jpg . 
When there are no more new artists,  if no artist.jpg exists for an
artist then lookup lastFM or whatever you do now. 
In other words, building the table of artist images is two phase, the
first phase is getting artist.jpg from the local files, the second phase
looking up and storing images from the web

When browsing from a track's or album's context menu then try for
artist.jpg in the current (track's) folder and if not found get the
image stored by the scanner.

I have not added your repository to the list, the plugin update was
there waiting to be installed when I started up the server.
I checked https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/commits/public/7.8, saw
that there was something added to 7.8 so downloaded and installed the
latest version and couldn't find anything different so posted the update
notice to allow you to comment if you felt inclined.

I have selected the MusicArtistInfo skin, what am I meant to see ?
