Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SuperDateTime - Current Date/Temperature and/or Baseball Screensaver
I finally decided to update from SBS to LMS and now it seems that SDT is causing LMS to freeze. Here's what happened: I updated to LMS 7.7.3 and did a clear and rescan - a few problems at first but I was to correct a few things and get everything working. Once the library rescan was complete I updated several plug-ins, including SDT and restarted LMS. Then all the trouble started. Checked the server log files and found this: [14-02-06 02:57:37.6829] Plugins::SuperDateTime::Plugin::gotWeatherTomorrow (3483) Error parsing tomorrow 2 narrative [14-02-06 02:57:58.8317] Plugins::SuperDateTime::Plugin::doneDrawing (4659) Data refresh completed with errors.

So I stopped LMS and then restarted LMS in safe mode, i.e. with no plug-ins enabled. I was then able to get LMS working. I once again restarted LMS but with only the Super Date and Time (SDT) plug-in disabled. Again LMS loaded and is working. A few notes: I use SDT along with the Custom Clock Helper plug-in to display weather info on my SB Touch display. Any help in how to get SDT and LMS to play nice together would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Other Album images - back, booklets etc. - Any way of displaying these ?
Wirrunna wrote: slackhead and ralphpnj, thank you for the Muso suggestion. I have watched the evolution of this impressive software for a while now and tried it once or twice, however it does not suit the way I control LMS. In my house LMS runs on a low power PC under the TV, the PC also providing TV recording, video and DVD playback. LMS exclusively plays music from its local library and uses SugarCube to continue playing after starting with either an album or track. LMS is started by Orange Squeeze on a Nexus or the LMS gui on my laptop in the study. I normally leave a window open on the SugarCube Live View so that little tweaks can be made to the playlist - usually adding tracks suggested by MIP that SugarCube has not queued up. The original reason for my first post in this thread was to identify a plugin that displayed the extra scanned images and then to suggest to the tablet developers that they should leverage the work done to enable displaying the images on their tablet applications. I'm not familiar with several of the devices/software you mentioned above but perhaps this rundown of how I use MUSO will help. I have MUSO installed on two computers, a large laptop located in my main listening room and a desktop computer located in my computer room. I also use the program Moose (http://www.rusticrhino.com/drlovegrove/) to control the various Squeezebox devices. Since I have a rather large music library the amount of memory required to run MUSO is also fairly large (650,000+k) and so I do not use MUSO on a regular basis on the laptop, however I do run and use MUSO regularly on my desktop computer which has plenty of available memory. Nonetheless I tend to use Moose to select and control the music and I use MUSO to view the extra scanned images, to read any information contained in the info.txt files and to view any additional information that shows up in MUSO's now playing window. The reason I use Moose rather than MUSO to select and control the music is that searching my music library database in Moose is much, much faster than searching in either MUSO or LMS (I don't actually use LMS, I am still using Squeezebox Server 7.5.5). There are times when I do use MUSO on my laptop, especially when I am listening to my Living room stereo for an extended time. I hope this helps. ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98196 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

True there is some hiss on the recording, but it merely adds to the rawness of the performance - the dynamics are stunning, it's electrifying. Is there anything Muso could do to provide specialist support for Jazz music, that it doesn't do now? Are there multiple jazz genres you use which you'd like to combine in a Jazz mode like the Classical mode does now? I'm glad you asked because there is one thing that I've been meaning to ask you about which might improve things a bit. I'll try to explain things as best as I can. When one is listening to a given recording, say one by Duke Ellington, and one opens muso to the album now playing screen, along the right side there is displayed More by this artist, which lists all the other recordings in one's music library by the artist with the same name, and below that By Similar Artists, which lists recordings in one's music library by similar artists. Okay two suggestions/questions/comments/whatever: For the More by this artist listing - I've noticed that only recordings by artists with the EXACT same name show up in this list. For example when playing a recording by the artist Duke Ellington one only sees recordings by artist Duke Ellington but not any recordings with the name Duke Ellington as part of the artist name, e.g. Duke Ellington John Coltrane or Duke Ellington Quartet. Is there a way to add all the recordings by artists with Duke Ellington as part of the artist's name? For the By Similar Artists listing - first how are the similar artists selected and second is there a way to override or add to the list of whom MUSO considers similar artists. So for example when playing Duke Ellington the similar artists list only includes Count Basie but not Benny Carter, Benny Goodman, Ben Webster or Billy Strayhorn etc. These four artists being but a small sampling of artists similar to Duke Ellington. Expanding either or both of these lists would greatly improve MUSO as far as this jazz fan is concerned. ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

jezbo wrote: It can't automatically associate Duke Ellington with Duke Ellington John Coltrane or Duke Ellington Quartet, except by allowing a partial string match, and then you'd get Queen associated with Queen Latifah or whatever (best example I could come up with on the top of my head). You could change Duke Ellington John Coltrane to Duke Ellington ; John Coltrane with ; as a configured separator, so that this album is associated with both those artists. For the second you could try making Duke Ellington the Artist on all tracks and having Duke Ellington Quartet as the Album Artist - not sure if that will work but worth a try. Even unedited I would expect both to be recognised as similar artists though. I thought this might be the case and I am partly to blame since I really don't use the album artist tag in any meaningful way besides which I would have to go back and edit the tags on most of music library, not something I'm going to do anytime soon, if ever. jezbo wrote: It uses a LAST.FM API which provides this info: http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=artist.getsimilarartist=Duke%20Ellingtonapi_key=571f533524545be0f14794f7316eb0ba (it uses any with a match score of 0.7 or greater, this could possibly be lowered for Jazz since Duke Ellington John Coltrane is given a similarity score of 0.45549) Again I thought this was the case. So that would leave several options: 1) Lower the match score. 2) See if the last.fm data can be modified. 2) Provide a way for the similar artists list to be modified by the user, since the last.fm data often is not very good or useful. ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

slackhead wrote: Jezbo, Thanks for the info on editing the CSS - this has been a huge help! Unfortunately I've been having a good number of problems similar to what MDE reported back in post #901, where Muso seems to lose connection with the player (SBT) / LMS. I frequently find myself having to reselect the player for the Now Playing screen to update and to be able to queue up tracks. (I also, on occasion, find after re connecting that the track list for the current album will have two tracks highlighted as playing) I've not managed to find any pattern as to why this is happening - sometimes it will lose the SBT while I am browsing for more tracks to to line up. This has been happening for some time now but seems to be getting more regular recently. Another problem, which may well be related - sometimes when I select Play Album Now the Queued Music list will show that the whole album has been queued up but playback will stop after the first track. Checking the LMS web interface shows that the remaining tracks have not been queued as expected and I have to go back to Muso and re-select the album. Again this happens erratically with no obvious cause or pattern. LMS is on a separate networked machine running Fedora Linux - when I test the CLI it always comes back as OK. Thanks. Richard I also experience very similar problems - Now Playing not updating and queued music only playing one or two tracks instead of the entire album. I am running MUSO on my desktop computer (wired) and my laptop (wireless) and I use MUSO to view/control several Squeezebox devices, some wired and some wireless. All computers, including the SBS machine are running Windows 7. I have no problems with dropouts on any SB device. Thanks in advance for your attention to this issue and please keep up all the good work.

That's because, despite the ID3 standard and the like, no standard has ever been universally adopted by all programs and devices. Personally, I prefer programs that make no guesses about my files -- if tags are blank, they're blank. Foobar2000 is one that works this way. The main reason I prefer this is that, although I take great care over my tags, I have developed a non-standard method of tagging over the years. Not because I wanted my own system, but because so many programs and (particularly) playback devices implemented a non-standard feature set. For example, although it's considered bad practice, I have always duplicated the Composer tag in the Artist tag (for classical music) -- because many portable playback devices default to showing the artist and refuse to show the composer. Another example: I recently tried out Musicbee (http://getmusicbee.com/), a PC music manager which seems to be highly regarded by many people. The result was confusion (for me). I have always left my Album Artist tags blank, because over the years many programs and devices have used the tag in unpredictable ways. Because my Album Artist tags were blank, MusicBee copied my Performer tags to the Album Artist tags in its library, and also duplicated those tags as Artist in its music browser. I had to create virtual tags to make sense of my music collection. So I quickly stopped using Musicbee, but the program obviously suits a lot of people who are happy for the program to guess at the tags. I do hope that Muso continues to make as few assumptions about tags as possible. But I understand jezbo's dilemma. Excellent post - very well reasoned and clearly explained plus completely valid. If only detailed tagging were better implemented along basic tagging for popular music is pretty well set. Once one moves into other musical genres tagging becomes more difficult. I really would like to have musician listed on each of my many jazz files but the only way to get that info into the tags to enter it myself and that is not going to happen any time some. ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MUSO - Support Thread
I've been dutifully following the developments on this thread and the MUSO Announce thread, all while happily running MUSO version 1.4.43. To say that I'm a little confused about what exactly is being proposed and what is being changed in MUSO version 1.5.X would be a vast understatement. So would it be possible to post a series of screen shots (both old, i.e. current MUSO, and new, i.e. proposed 1.5.X MUSO) along with some explanations of what and why things are being changed?

I ensure that it points to the correct release before I let Picard write the tags. If the correct release is not in the Musicbrainz database, I don't let it tag. Here's an example of Musicbrainz being brain dead. Frank Lowe, a tenor sax player who played mostly free jazz, has only five recordings listed in Musicbrainz (http://musicbrainz.org/artist/c12f22fd-7528-40c5-a429-c61820eaaeef) and yet I have 16 albums with Frank Lowe's name as artist: Billy Bang Quintet featuring Frank Lowe - Above Beyond: An Evening In Grand Rapids Billy Bang Sextet featuring Frank Lowe - Sweet Space Dennis Gonzalez Band of Sorcerers featuring Frank Lowe - Live in Washington, D.C. Frank Lowe - Black Beings Frank Lowe - Decision In Paradise Frank Lowe - The Flam Frank Lowe - Fresh Frank Lowe - Live in Paris May 9th, 1978 (this one is a bootleg recording) Frank Lowe - Lowe-down Blue Frank Lowe - The Other Side Frank Lowe / Billy Bang Quartet - One For Jazz Frank Lowe Quartet - Argouleme, France May 6th, 1978 (this one is a bootleg recording) Frank Lowe Quartet - Tricks Of The Trade Frank Lowe Quintet - Live From Soundscape Frank Lowe Quintet - Exotic Heartbreak Frank Lowe Quintet - Soul Folks Frank Lowe Trio - Vision Blue In fact the links on the Musicbrainz Frank Lowe page for both Discogs (http://www.discogs.com/artist/Frank+Lowe) and Allmusic (http://www.allmusic.com/artist/mn175558) each have over 15 entries each.

If sorted by Artist, Album or Year you have the filter down the left hand side to focus on an area of interest (artists starting with letter S and T for example), so you don't need to navigate to page 74 of 100 to find an artist beginning with S. Sorting by Date Added or Rating you'd normally only be interested in the first few pages, not somewhere in the middle. Just wondering...

The plugins Album Review and Biography use allmusic.com as the information source and having allmusic.com's information as well last.fm and amazon's information would greatly enhance this already wonderful music library front end.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MUSO - Support Thread
I've been using my licensed copies of muso for a couple of weeks now and I had not run into any performance issues until today. Today I had to replace my router and during the process the router changed my Squeezebox Server IP address from 192.168.1.107 to 192.168.1.3 When I tried to change this setting in muso (tools-options-music sources-SBS-SBS configuration-host) muso was very, very slow in responding. Once I did manage to made the change muso returned to its normal speed and now everything is working just fine. Not a major bug but annoying nonetheless. My feature request is twofold: 1) Is there any way you might be able to add support for reading/viewing any simple text files that are stored in the album folder? I often have text files containing information about the recording especially when the recording is not from a commercial CD, such as live recordings. The ability to read these info files would be greatly appreciated. 2) Is there any way you might be able to add support for viewing image and pdf files which are stored in a sub-folder of the album folder? I often have a sub-folder labeled scans or art or artwork containing additional image files, especially when there are many images, such as when I scan an entire booklet from a multi-disc set. I thank you in advance for your consideration. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels - Snatch - The Transporter - Transporter 2 (oops) - Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Is the scan you initiate from muso a scan of folders, or a synch with Squeezebox Server? The latter is probably faster. When muso scans folders, it is only looking for song files, not images, it only looks for additional images when you view the album or now playing page. Are you sure that muso can access the song folder at this point? Do you arrange this via a drive mapping? A view of the Options/Music Sources/Squeezebox Server page would be useful, plus a view of how the track paths are stored in muso (from your album view click on Edit Tracks, and ensure the File Path is displayed and visible when you take the screenshot). We'll get this worked out. To search for an artist or album you can enter the text to search for in the filter.
