Good to hear! Stuart Hickinbottom of course deserves all the credit for
the plugin functionality and mherger huge thanks for the stellar job
keeping the whole ecosystem going.

I've forked the plugin repository here and made the LMS maxVersion
unlimited: https://github.com/doctorjames/AutoRescan.

A repository XML file is available here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/doctorjames/AutoRescan/master/repo.xml.

I'm happy to host a suitably modified fork on github. 

Can you add Linux::Inotify2 to the perl modules in the docker image
please?

Cheers.

Given https://github.com/hickinbottoms/AutoRescan is GPL V2, and the
author has not updated it in many years, could a version with the
patched install.xml be included within the standard Docker image? Having
the container automatically rescan updated music mounted from outside
the container would seem like a generally useful function. (I understand
it not being included in the main slimserver as its functionality is
unavailable on macOS).

It also needs perl's inotify2 module adding to the Docker image which
would be generally beneficial even for people left to hack their way
around installing the plugin manually.

Cheers.

Choosing Marlett as the font in Wordpad and typing numbers correctly
shows the window maximise/restore glyphs so this is indeed odd.

No, the buttons seem not to be there at all - no graphical change on
mouse over and nothing happens on mouse click. The accessibility insight
tool was an attempt to inspect if there were any buttons there or not.

I have possibly just partially worked it out: I have a high DPI screen
and the scale in the Display settings is set to 150% which is the
reccomended setting. I also have two additional monitors which are set
to 125% scaling (and are in portrait mode). These settings haven't been
changed in a long time, but changing them now and restarting
Squeezelite-X has made the buttons appear again. Might having different
scale factors and/or orientations on different monitors affect the
calculation of the position of the buttons, especially perhaps if the
window first appears on a different monitor each startup and a value is
somehow cached? 

(This dissapearing button problem has not been observed on any other
applications yet, nor was it an issue in Squeezelite-X before the recent
Windows version update and Squeezelite-X update which both happened
around the same time.)

Having made the buttons return the glyph is still showing as a number.

So when you posted that I investigated copies of Marlett and while there
were a couple such as in the Steam folder, I didn't find anything
strange that had any effect. I continued to ignore it until the most
recent update was installed from the Microsoft Store on Windows 10, 2004
(build 19041.264).

Now all the buttons are missing entirely:

30641

I know nothing about creating UWP apps but poking around a little more
with the accessibility insights tools showed this, could it be related?

30642

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

2020-05-20 Thread doctorjames


This is a weird problem I've been ignoring on one of my two Windows 10
machines up until now. I expect it's a quirk of this machine and
something has installed a font that is clashing with the intended icon.
The maximize button displays as either 1 or 2 depending on the window
state:

NORMAL WINDOW:

30358

MAXIMIZED:

30357

Do you know what font should be being used for that so I can track down
the rogue one? Cheers.

That's fair enough then! I suppose that's also why Microsoft haven't
implemented it in their volume control, though you can never be sure
with some of their odd design decisions.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for all your work on this superb bit of software. Would it be
possible to make the mousewheel over the tray icon change the
squeezelite volume?

Cheers,
James

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Smart Mix plugin

2014-03-18 Thread doctorjames

I've recently been using smart playlists and have been extremely
impressed at the results. Up until now I've only really listened to
complete albums as random play was just too random.

I'm not sure if this is possible or easy but a small tweak to the server
would greatly improve my listening experience. Often the transition
between tracks is rather abrupt: could a feature similar to smart
crossfade be introduced that adds a definable gap (eg. 2 seconds)
between tracks from different albums?

Cheers for the great work!
James
