SBS proper only deals with one path to your audio files. MultiLibrary doesn't change that: it just lets you make 'subsets' of your collection. It sounds like you're using Linux... So what I would do: create one directory that has links to the other two. Ie /home/user/music that has symlinks to your two directories. Give THAT to SBS.

Andrew Softsqueeze is still supported... Squeezeplay will replace it at some point, but not yet. A software based player is too useful as a marketing tool to go away: it makes for a great "try before you buy" demo. (Even if it's not exactly the same as a real hardware player, it's close enough to get the feel of things if you ignore some of the quirks. Squeezeplay should have less quirkiness since it removes the java layer and runs a bit closer to the hardware, though it still has the Operating System layer to contend with.) You can change the skin on SoftSqueeze, I think the default is now transporter, but I like the 'small sb2' skin, since it takes less screen space...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] squeezeslave running in background?
If you start it by appending an & to the command line, it will run in background. This is usually sufficient to keep it running even when the xterm that started it is killed or exited. With some apps you may need to add 'nohup' to the start of the command line... this is because when the shell exits it is supposed to send a HUP to children to tell them that you "hung up" the session (as in hanging up a phone call) and that they should shut down nicely. In practice, I rarely use nohup, so I doubt you need to use it. (Most programs ignore the HUP signal or use it as a clue to reread their config files, not to exit.) -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58696 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Ie, if there is a cover and no thumb, it makes a 150x150 thumb.
It will recurse through the directory tree and do that for all albums.

I have that problem if the paths don't match exactly.
On my system (running Linux), I have my library at something like
/music/mp3 (yeah, even flacs go there, the mp3 is a carryover) but I
also have a symlink ("shortcut" in windows sense) that goes from
/home/bem/mp3 to the music library.
If I tell MusicIP to use /home/bem/mp3, and Slimserver to use
/music/mp3, even though they are technically the same place, Slimserver
can't tell and duplicates everything. If they both use /music/mp3, then
it works fine, though a full scan is slow since it reads tags twice.
(Though I have yet to get anyone to agree with me on that.)

Well I use BrowseMusicFolder when I want to abuse my semi-logical file system -- sometimes it easier to browse that way if I am not sure what I want to hear, or if I know exactly where the album is That said, if you want to use MusicIP from BMF, it is possible with only a slight trick... when you see something like "01 Whatever.flac" in BMF, press right one more time and it will show the tags for that song. Go down to Album and right again, and then you are effectively in "Browse Album" mode and can do a mix from there. And, yeah, I finally got around to making MusicIP work headless on my server... Quite nifty now that it has actually finished scanning my music, though it can be picky about id3v2.4 tags, I think I have them all reset to 2.3 now.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: LastFM algorithm explanation
Hrrm, this is really a question for last.fm, the Plugin does pretty much the same thing that their applet does: play an mp3 stream and occasionally send/receive updates about songs. That said, what I do, since I have been enjoying the latest Last.fm plugin a lot the past few days: I use SlimScrobbler to record every track I listen to, most of which do have proper MusicBrainz tags (which makes LastFM more consistent in matching tags). I have done so for a bit over a year now, so it has a reasonable profile of what it is that I listen to. For listening to LastFM proper, I vary -- sometimes I use the Similar Artist (which now self populates from the last few tracks you have listened to... even if it is local songs), but usually I use my Loved Tracks and keep Discovery Mode on. This makes it use the tracks I have flagged as Loved, but tries to find music similar to that. I have stumbled across a few tracks this way and it isn't totally random (some of my neighbors are ... weird).

Now that I have a faster machine, I'm back to using trackstat and

I've noticed, though that the track count keeps increasing...faster
than I can buy CD's, too!
I'm not sure if this is a bug in Trackstat or a bug in the 6.5 though
(I am leaning to the latter). What I see with mysql logging turned on
(I was looking for some other odd behavior so made mysql spammy and
slow):
73 Query INSERT INTO tracks (content_type,
remote, tag, title, titlesearch, titlesort, url) VALUES ('cpl', '0',
'1', 'Now Playing - Livingroom', 'NOW PLAYING LIVINGROOM', 'NOW PLAYING
LIVINGROOM', 'clientplaylist://00:04:20:05:ce:48')
I don't see a delete, so it is continually adding playlists
mysql> select count(*) from tracks where content_type = 'cpl';
+--+
| count(*) |
+--+
| 248 |
+--+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
That is a whole lotta playlists...
Considering I really only have like 3 playlists.
Is this in the trackstat stuff or 6.5?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: gmail plugin?
Okay, I finally got around to it
Yes, it's cheap and hackish, but it works. It runs from a cronjob
every 10 minutes and does a cheap parse/convert of google's Atom into
RSS and saves it to /tmp for the server to pick up.
It does need lynx-ssl to grab the feed, which is why I won't make it
into a module.. I don't mind snarfing stuff with lynx in a script, but
it's too ugly of a method for a plugin, but, then so is tossing tons of
ssl code into slimserver.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use XML::Feed;
use XML::Feed::Atom;
$user = "yourname here";
$pass = "password";
$url = "lynx -dump -auth=$user:$pass " .
"https://mail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom";;
$atom = `$url`;
my $feed = XML::Feed->parse(\$atom);
open TMP, ">/tmp/gmail.tmp";
print TMP '',
'',
'Gmail Inbox',
'gmail inbox';
for $entry ( $feed->entries )
{
$summary = $entry->summary();
print TMP "", $entry->author, ": ", $entry->title, "",
"", $summary->body, "",
"\n";
}
print TMP "";
rename ("/tmp/gmail.tmp", "/tmp/gmail");
Even if hackish, I now can see my mail scroll by.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Softsqueeze Corrupting files
rsync certainly works well for backups, I use it hourly at work for
snapshots of a few machines. Painfully slow the first time you run it,
but after that it's quick.
if slimserver is running as user 'slimserv', do this as 'you' (ie, not
the slimserver user):
cd /wherevermusicis
find . -type d -exec chmod 755
find . -type f -exec chmod 644
That will find all directories below your current directory ('.') and
make them world-readable/executable, then find all files and make them
world-readable.
No write permissions.
Then, as 'you,' (either locally or through Samba), you can mess with
files all you want and the server can't.
On my system the default 'umask' is 022 and I changed the Samba config
to match that, so new files and directories are created
world-read/execute but never writeable by anyone but me.
You may want to recheck your convert.conf - there really isn't anything
you need to even check/uncheck from the default install, and if you're
missing a '-' on the transcoding lines, it could very well overwrite
files. The trailing - is so that it doesn't write the output to a
file, but if it's missing, it will... according to the lame docs, it
insists on both input and output filenames.. but...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/needsorting$ lame --resample 44100 --silent -q 9 --abr
64000 foo.mp3
actually creates foo.mp3.mp3
That's still not overwriting files, but would explain why transcoding
isn't working.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Softsqueeze Corrupting files
Softsqueeze itself can't: it doesn't even know the names of files. And in my case isn't even on the same machine as the files. In theory, Slimserver -could-, but especially on Unix it's pretty easy to set permissions so that the 'slimserv' user can't write to the music. Don't run anything as root that doesn't have to be. Let the server run as the 'slimserv' user. And even that theory assumes that there is code within slimserver that opens the file as writeable... there isn't that I know of. But being paranoid with permissions is always a good thing. My mp3's are all owned by 'bem', mode 644, directories are 755 (ie, umask 022). Thus any process on the system can read the files all they want.. they can't do anything else though. And, yes, I remember CP/M, and more specifically ZCPR3. It carried me past the DOS years and when people started moving to Windows I was using X11.
