Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Annouce: SB Player, a software Squeezebox player app for Android.
Thanks for getting back to me... I've checked the Wifi settings, and it should be on all the time - on both the S3 and the Nexus. What I've noticed is that "infinite" (or indeed any other number for that matter) shows the same behaviour in the debug log: UNABLE TO CONNECT TO SERVER XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX JAVA.NET.SOCKETTIMEOUTEXCEPTION FAILED TO CONNECT... XXX.XXX.XXX.XX (PORT 3483) RECONNECTING... It then repeats this 6 times before logging: BUFFERS FLUSHED. Even if I have Max Retries set to 1, it still appears to try 6 times before giving up. If I'm watching the main screen of the app, it shows "Cancel Connect" and the reconnecting messages, and during this time all the Server settings are greyed out. After the 6th failed attempt "Cancel Connect" changes to "Connect" and the cursor goes back to the "Current Server" name where it flashes awaiting input. I've also since tried the app on my Xperia Z3C, and see exactly the same behaviour there. mruddo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98049 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Annouce: SB Player, a software Squeezebox player app for Android.
Hi wt0, I'm trying to use the app in my daughter's bedroom - they key point there being that I'd like it to be plugged in and out of reach and just available as and when required. I've configured it, and it runs perfectly when connected, but if for any reason the server goes down for any length of time (something quite likely, as it's running on a PC that's not on 24x7), it often refuses to reconnect. I've set it to auto connect on start, and also set the max retries to infinite, but it seems to give up after a while and will only connect if I manually press the connect button. The infinite retries does seem to work for a while i.e. if I reboot the server, I can see it repeatedly failing to connect, and then eventually reconnecting, but if the server's down for longer periods (e.g. overnight, as when it is off), when I go back to the app, the "connect" button's green again and it's given up trying. When I do press it, it connects just fine. I've noticed the same behavior on both a Galaxy S3, and a Nexus 7 - it's consistent. I did wonder if perhaps Android was stopping the app, so I even set up a llama profile to automatically restart the app every 5 minutes - but that didn't seem to work either. I've also been running the app in the foreground (i.e. with Launch in Background disabled). Do you have any tips for completely unattended operation and automatic connection when the server's available?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)
Just wanted to add my thanks for this plugin. I've just re-organised my Squeezebox setup, and because of space issues, I switched an SB3 in my living room, with a receiver I had in another room... Trouble is, that left me without any visible display (aside from the remote obviously). So, using this plugin, and syncing my Chromecast with the main player, I now get a nice display of album cover art and track details on my TV which is great. With this setup, I'm still listening to the audio output from my stereo/squeezebox, and just using the plugin's display so show what it is playing. The only issue I found is that I have to make sure the plugin's configured to play FLAC so as not to impact crossfade, but that's fine, however I'm wondering if it would be possible to effectively configure the plugin to just not output/decode audio as in my case it's superfluous? Just a thought - it would effectively then be a meta-data only display, and have a lot less work to do. Another nice to have - It would be nice if the display were configurable too - i.e. so I could add/change the displayed metadata. (e.g. to add detail like year/genre etc. as preferred.) Whilst I appreciate this is deviating somewhat from the plugin's intended use, this setup is by far the best solution I've found to display what's playing on my TV! mruddo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104614 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] DSTM Comments Mixer Idea
Some years ago I was amazed by the mixes MusicIP gave me, but abandoned it because analysing my collection took forever and I occasionally ran into issues etc., but more recently I've been using the LastFM mixer and these are pretty good on the whole for a ramble through my music collection. However, I've always been considering what else might be an option - and this recently lead me to experiment with the Mixed In Key application which analyses files for their -key-, -energy -and -BPM-. The default -key -notation there is a Camelot alphanumeric value from 1A/B -> 12A/B, and the idea there is that mixing adjacent keys (e.g. 1A->1B or 1A->2B) should providing a pleasing transition. It's also based on the idea of a wheel - so once you get to 12B that should transition back to 1B. Of course -key -alone is likely insufficient, but adding -genre -and -energy -and perhaps -BPM -into that mix should theoretically work quite well. So this is the thought... The Mixed In Key software will tag the *comments *in my flac files with both the -key -and -energy -detail. (It also writes a BPM tag.) And the big plus with this for me is that i) The analysis is quite quick and ii) It does not impact any other tags in my library. This means my comments on my flac files now look like this: "2A - Energy: 7" or "9B - Energy 3". With that alone, I get a pretty reasonable mix if I just select tunes with a text search for "Energy: 7". I've also experimented a little with the Use Comment Tag plugin to expose these non-standard tags in the interface... but I was thinking, if there was a DSTM mixer to say, search for "Energy: 7", limit to Genre, then that would potentially work quite well. Even better would be to take that detail and limit progression in the mix - so for example only allow a 3A tune to jump to a 2A, 4A or 3B one... Or to restrict the mix to high energy tunes e.g. "Energy: 7" to "Energy 10", or restful ones, "Energy: 1" to "Energy 3". Not only would it work for the Mixed In Key example, but you could also use it for your own personal comments - like playing a mix of "Live" tagged music etc. Basically, pretty much anything people might want to include in their comments could form the basis of a DSTM mix. ANY THOUGHTS COMMENTS ON THIS? DOES IT SOUND LIKE IT MIGHT BE WORTH DEVELOPING? I've not done any plugin development myself so would not have a clue where to start! :-) (I've tried the advance search to do this manually, but unfortunately I don't seem to be able to, for example, look for songs with "Energy: 3" _and_ keys "1A" _or_ "1B" _or_ "2A" _or_ "12A".) mruddo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115498 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Thank you both for your prompt replies... I might be up for the challenge. I'm a (former) developer myself - mainly on the analysis side these days, but I do have some reasonable SQL knowledge. Perl would be new... but never say never! Time is the real problem these days though - but I might be up for it. I realise my request here was somewhat bespoke - given the use of Mixed in Key - but as mentioned, this need not be limited to that alone, and could be used for any comments users tend to add to their collection. I've yet to decide whether or not Mixed in Key is the way to go (the software was avaialble at a reduced price on a Black Friday deal, so I thought I'd give it a go)... but I agree, it's not ideal. As has already been noted though, there are however a number of other options for analysing music keys out there that may be an option. From a personal level though, I think the Energy detail is likely the more important than the key - I've not yet looked at/for other options in that space. @michael - I'll take a look at the developer forums, and see what I can learn there. @cpd73 - I noted your post on the DSTM mixer and thought being on Windows that would not be an option for me...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Music Similarity DSTM mixer
Well, I can't be too sure, but it took about 3 hours to scan those 681 files, and I ended up with 661 in the database. Which confirms it was just those with accented characters (and variations on the apostrophe) that were excluded. So as far as I can tell, there were no issues with the writing of results to the db. I was also using EAC to extract some CD audio at the time, so the PC was busy with that too - but all in all, my crude maths suggest that might take almost 6 days to scan my entire FLAC library, but I think that's still sounds feasible. (Back in the MusicIP days this seemed like a never ending task, and my library was much smaller then.) I then launched the script and picked a track and got what sounded like a pretty good mix. I've not had chance to explore in detail, but so far I've not been using the restrict to genre option. I'm not sure what balance of key/bpm/energy you're using for the mixes, but when I played a slower track, the following mix seemed similarly paced, and likewise with a heavier track. So so far, so good! This looks like an interesting prospect.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Music Similarity DSTM mixer
I'm currently mid-way through a second pass analysis of my 681 files, and so far there's only been the one failure - so it's looking like the change to allow accented characters has worked successfully. (Incidentally, I believe the track that failed this time was OK in the last run.) I'll update later with info on how long it took this time when my PC wasn't quite so busy. I may re-run later to see if it plugs any gaps from the first pass. In your README it says: -If re-run new tracks will be added, and old (non-existent) will be removed. Pass `--keep-old` to keep these old tracks.- Does this mean it will actually skip the tracks already there too as well, or will it re-analyse them?

This was the one: MUSLY_TRACK_ANALYZE_AUDIOFILE FAILED FOR M:\TESTLIBRARY\GORILLAZ\HUMANZ (DELUXE)\09-INTERLUDE- ELEVATOR GOING UP.FLAC I may have been mistaken, and can't be sure it made it in on the previous (Alpha2) build. It's not so obvious to me what's wrong with this one. The "-" after Interlude is actually a ":" that's been substituted in the filename already, but given there are a number of other similarly named tracks on that album it does not look obviously different in any way. Anyway, 680 out of 681 trackes analysed this time in 2 hours 5 mins so that's not too bad. I'm tempted to give my whole library a go, but may play around with some more sample mixes first.

I also see you've enabled genre group configuration, so that's something that should enable pretty good control of how far the mix deviates.

I'm back, and giving it another go... This time, with Alpha 2, I seem to be getting further - albeit the main issue with me was I believe an outdated Python install, so I've upgraded to the latest 3.10.1 64bit release. Analysis (of those 681 FLAC files) is under way. It's definitely processing, as my CPUs are maxed out at 100% with multiple "streaming_extractor_music.exe" instances running. As you've mentioned the database is cached, I'm presuming that's why I'm not seeing it grow at the moment - but I'll keep an eye on it. Since you mentioned a possible issue writing to the DB on the first pass, are you able to advise a tool I could use to simply query the db file for content to get an idea what's in there? (I'm presuming a mySql command or something along those lines is available.) I can then check that for you and report back.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Music Similarity DSTM mixer
So far I'm impressed... It's playing a good mix from most starting points, and no odd behaviour to report so far. What I like about the analysis approach is that it seems to pull in a more broad range of alternative tracks than a simple grouping determined by a website like LastFM - which is my default DSTM mix source (for local files). I've not set up any genre groups yet, so I'm still ignoring the genre. Will give that a go next, as I think it makes sense to have certain groups to hone in some of those choices.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Music Similarity DSTM mixer
Just an update on full my library analysis... As mentioned previously, I was running this on a desktop PC. I use this to rip CDs/download music etc. then have a robocopy clone job that sends the files to the mini-PC where I run LMS. So the plan was to simply analyse on the more powefull PC, then copy the db across when done. And I started what should have been the final run of analysis last night, only to find it seemed to have stalled this morning. i.e. the dubug logging just showed the last track it looked at, but there was no confirmation of the number of records written to the db. As I need to use my desktop for work today, I decided to run the final bactch of analysis on my mini-PC, and one thing I noticed was that it's re-analysing some files because of case differences in the filename. So in one library I might have "08-Catch the Sun.flac" and in the other "08-Catch The Sun.flac" - and it will then analyse this again on the second PC ...which is fair enough, and likely a limitation of robocopy/Windows not being specific with filenames when cloning - so not really your problem. Secondly, regardless of which PC I run the analysis on it seems to analyse certain files repeatedly - and not report any errors. Now we've already established that some files are simply too short (< 6 seconds at a guess, maybe a few more), but these other files it will try to analyse again and again regardless. This seemed to be happening on some AudioBook tracks - which are often quite long, so it appears we also have an issue with analysis of exceptionally long songs... but without an error. Again though, this is hardly an issue for any mix. I did wonder though if you could pull the track length from the file and skip files that were, for example < 10 secs or > 30 minutes? mruddo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115609 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Thanks.
I've updated my config.json file to add the the exclusions, as below:
Code:
{
"paths":{
"db":"M:\\My Music\\MusicSimilarity\\db",
"local":"M:\\My Music\\FLAC"
},
"essentia": {
"enabled": true,
"highlevel": false,
"bpm": 50,
"loudness": 0.5,
"filterkey": true,
"filterattrib": true,
"weight": 0.0
},
"minduration":30,
"maxduration":1800,
"excludegenres":[
"Audiobook","Children's","Language
Course","Meditative","Opera","Pronunciation Guide","Vocal","Other"
]
}
However, when I re-run the analysis, I can't see any difference - i.e.
no logging of Excluded Genres or anything like that. As such, as there
are still a handful of tracks for which the Essentia analysis fails,
it's difficult for me to be sure if it's had an effect or not.
(BTW - I just refreshed the *lib *folder again for this - but maybe I
needed more?)

Just to reiterate, these failures were _prior_ to your most recent utf-8 change - so they're OK now! All tracks on this album failed: Code: Angel Dream (Songs and Music from The Motion Picture She's the One) And there were a few other 12" remix type names that failed too...

That's great - thanks... I got an additional 60 or so tracks added after those changes (turns out another issue was double quotes - so having 12" in the name for example was also causing exlcusions prior to this). Additionally, I see you've also got the check for track length in there - which is fantastic, as I no longer have to wait for it to analyse whole audio-book chapters. :) And the extra logging to differentiate any Essentia vs. Musly failures too.

I think like apostropes which have both "straight" and cuved (opening and closing) variations, you can use the curved variation in a filename. So you have " vs ... and variations on that theme.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Music Similarity DSTM mixer
Thanks for the info... I'll experiment a little more with exclusions when I can. Just an update on mixes though - as a trend I've noticed seems to indicate a bias towards artists at the tail end of the alphabet. My music is stored in folders by Artist then Album. So my analysis database is primarily organized A-Z with with "Various" covering compilations towards the end. (Not sure if the same applies to the Jukebox.) What I've noticed is that I'm getting a lot of tracks from the the last few letters. e.g. if I start a mix from... Code: Lana Del Rey - W, Z, V, W, W Tom Petty - W, V, Y, R, W, b ABBA - V, V, Y, V, V Chvrches - g, T, Z, W, Y DMA's - V, W, Y Jenny Lewis - W, V, S, V, W Ludwig van Beethoven - J, g, V, V, V Manic Street Preachers - W, Y Rolling Stones - Y, V, Y, b, W Weezer - W, V, Y, Y Obviously these are just one set of sample mixes - that I just generated while typing this post, but the trend is apparent in most - as I especially noticed a number of albums at with Various artists or Z artists coming up again and again. (I don't have many artists starting with "Z", so it becomes quite obvious.) As it's timbre based, the starting letter of the chosen artist should be relevant, but I picked a few random ones that demonstrate a reasonable variety of styles. In almost all cases above, "V" is "Various". Interestingly the 'g' and 'b' are unusal in that they're both lower case - so that could be a clue as to any sort being applied to result sets here. Most of my artists are capitalised, but there are a few exceptions. mruddo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115609 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Music Similarity DSTM mixer
Something I noticed today that may represent a possible improvement with respect to not repeating artists/songs. Below are two lines from my database showing the same track on two different albums that the mixer correctly defined as being somewhat similar! :D These songs came up with only one other between them, despite having the *Don't repeat artist/album* both set to their defaults of 15 and 25 respectively. Code: Rita Ora/Phoenix (Deluxe Edition)/02-Let You Love Me.flac|Let You Love Me|Rita Ora|Phoenix (Deluxe Edition)|Rita Ora|Pop|190||95|0.926780819893|A#M|??? Various/Now That's What I Call Music! 101/1.05-Let You Love Me.flac|Let You Love Me|Rita Ora|Now That's What I Call Music! 101||Pop|191||95|0.923834681511|A#M|??? Of course it's the same artist, but then it's not - because both -Artist -and -Album Artist- are "Rita Ora" on the first album, and only -Artist -is set for the compilation album. I suspect this means you're using the -Album Artist- to compare - which is presumably why it repeated. Whether this should be changed to check -Artist -rather than -Album Artist- may be open for debate - but generally, I have compilations without an -Album Artist- set, but do use that field on single-artist albums. If not switching completely, then perhaps it would be an option to check the latter if the former's not there? mruddo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115609 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

cpd73 wrote: > When filtering song titles, it is *only* the title. I think ideally, this should really be -artist -*and* -title-. Although unlikely to be a common issue, there are a number of repeated song titles out there. Off the top of my head, "The Power of Love" springs to mind - Huey Lewis, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and few others. It's not a major issue, but f I get time, I can try and reproduce it and look at the output. I'm very much enjoying the variation in the mixes I'm getting - such a broad range of music, where other mixes tended to merge to the point they were quite similar after a few hours. I may be imagining it, but what I also find interesting is how the selection of male/female vocalists as a starting point is often persisted for a long while, as that's not something I really expected to be quite so prominent. Perhaps it's not unexpected, but I quite like that. One issue I have seen however is perhaps an oddity with the Material Skin now playing list... Sometimes the last track in my playlist is duplicated. e.g. see here: 36810 vs. the Classic playlist view: 36811 It seems to lose it's way... and as we move on to playing the next track, I get this: 36812 Closing and re-opening the browser can often leave the current playing track flagged with the wrong album art. And switching from Chrome to Edge (both Chromium based these days) the problem persists... seemingly until I clear the playlist.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Music Similarity DSTM mixer
As discussed with @cpd73 It turns out the issue I had was down to my database file not containing all required meta fields, which was adversely impacting the matching and causing the majority of tracks to be disregarded. This was likely caused by my use of incorrect parameters when running the analysis script. My speculative explanation of the mixing behaviour was that the missing data meant it was unable to identify the best matches, so instead I ended up with a selection from the tail end of the database... but having re-run the analysis to add the missing meta fields, it's back to working well again. mruddo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115609 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

That's a good question... as to whether or not it's running! Silly question perhaps, but how do I tell if a plugin is running? This is what I can tell you... - I've installed the plugin (and just removed and re-installed it to be sure). - I've checked that DSTM is set up to use Bliss. - I've then set it to something other than DSTM, and put it back to Bliss, while at the same time adjusting the Bliss Mixer settings to Add 10 tracks (as opposed to 5). - When I play a track DSTM only adds 5 tracks... so maybe it's not really using Bliss (i.e. perhaps it's not running?) I performed my analysis independently on my media drive, then copied the resulting *bliss.db* file to *\ProgramData\Squeezebox\Cache*. After the fiasco with losing the drive and trying to get things up and running again this morning, it's quite possible I've missed something or done something silly. mruddo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116068 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Bliss DSTM mixer
After testing with the MusicSimilarity plugin for some time, I'm a bit late to the Bliss party, but finally up and running! :) I've had a number of issues to work around... not least losing my media drive for a while that caused LMS to reset a number of parameters which broke a whole host of related things without actually stopping basic music playback, so some of the issues took time to track down. (Not ideal any time, but especially not when you're testing new plugins so there are a number of variables at play!) Anyway... I'm operational now. I've also encountered both the dodgy ID3 tag issue on my FLAC files (just one album), and noted the same issue above with the analyser not removing tracks. I'm also running LMS on Windows. Bliss analysis was however fantastically quick by comparison to Musly/Essentia (never mind MusicIP), so I'll get to testing those mixes now. Just one issue I seem to have... Selecting a track in the interface and requesting *Create bliss mix* does not seem to work for me either - although DSTM mixes do. mruddo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116068 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I get a few albums with all tracks in that year along with a number of compilations with tracks in a broad range of years (that happen to include at least one track in that same year). So it's not the complete list of tracks from that year, and indeed includes tracks from other years. What I'd basically like to see in this scenario, is the list of all tracks - effectively: SELECT * FROM Tracks WHERE Year = 1967 ...which appears to be exactly what "All tracks" does in the default skin. Perhaps I'm in the minority when it comes to trying to apply the correct year to tracks on compilation albums wherever possible. :) mruddo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109624 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Material Skin
Apologies if this question is buried somewhere in this thread, but I could not find it... If I want to play all tracks from a given year, and select "My Music", "Years", "" - then I only see albums deemed to be of that year. So let's say I select 1997 for example, I'll see all albums with all tracks having that date, and some albums (maybe compilations) that LMS has labelled with the year - possibly based on the first track, or whatever logic it happens to use. But in reality there may be other albums with tracks spanning a range of years that I will never see here. Now that's fair enough, because you can't easily label an album as multi-year in the interface, but if I want to play all tracks from that year, in the default skin there's the "All Tracks" option which does exactly that. Is it possible to do the same in the Material Skin and play all tracks from that year? I seem to be able to achieve the same using Dynamic playlists, but I think the "All Tracks" option's a lot easier. mruddo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109624 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

It's what I'd expect. If I went via the year option, then I'm generally looking for tracks/albums from that year.

Hi @cpd73, When analysing my tracks, I always get a "1 Failure(s)" message. i.e. if I add a new album with 10 tracks, it will find 11 and report 1 failure... so all new tracks seem fine, but there's obviously a track out there it's picking up that it does not like.

Great, that sounds most reasonable... I'll be interesting to see what it is.

I'm not sure if there's anything in this, but I thought the other day that ampersands in the playlists might be contributing to this problem, and I just saw the same thing again. i.e. track titles with "&" in them - like, "The Remains of Rock & Roll" for example. Just a thought... I did search for ampersand in this thread, and didn't find anything. mruddo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109624 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Yes, I appreciate you've mentioned this before - it was more the observation that it appears to be triggered by the ampersand in a track title. mruddo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109624 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Material Skin
FYI, I'm still seeing this issue too... sometimes with the duplicated/mismatched album covers as per the post in the Music Similarity thread, but more often now with the flickering in the now playing queue between the track name/album art that is playing and (I believe) the next item in the queue. I've not been able to identify a trigger, but when listening to DSTM music similarity mixes, it almost inevitably happens eventually. mruddo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109624 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Music Similarity DSTM mixer
I've upgraded the plugin to 0.4 and refreshed the files from the master
of the MusicSimilarity backend.
Now every time I try to start the service I get this:

Server ended at 11:31:51.51 on 06/02/2022
Seeing as I'm running in Windows, I know I don't have the high-level
analysis fields, so this is likely why... but the config.json file has
"highlevel": false. (Albeit this is under essentia, so may not be
relevant when running the service).
Is there setting I need to exclude the high-level fields in the latest
back end (apologies if I missed it in the docs), or should I just hold
fire and stick to the previous version for now?

I'm using Musly and Essentia - just not with the high-level attributes. I do like the idea of giving Bliss a go though, so I will look into what's required to hook the Windows component with the WSL analysis to make that work when I have some time.

I've never used ratings on tracks - although I can see why many do, and it's something I've often considered. I'm probably using it differently though, as I tend to think of a seed track, see where that takes me... then often listen to an album I've not heard recently that comes up... then seed from there etc. I do get what you're saying about frequently re-occuring items though. For me it seems to be Sting (I have one compilation, that's all), but I'm often seeing that appear in the playlist. However, when I compare the mixes to LastMix, where whatever I'd started with, that always seemed to tend towards a ninties-indie mix (not least because I have a reasonable number of such albums in my collection)... With Music Similarlty, the mixes tend to head off in different directions which I'm far more appreciative of. I only have the one Stevie Wonder album (and no -Superstition-), and not a single Heart track... so I can't test to see if there's any in-built bias at play! ;) mruddo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115609 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

cpd73 wrote: > Glad to hear is working for someone else. Perhaps I'll formalize the > release... That'd be great. Whilst I can't spend all day listening to music, I'm very impressed with the mixes I'm getting... I did say I would try utilising the Genre groups, but I'm not thinking that's necessary at the moment as it does not steem to stray to far off course, and I'd rather not restrict my options for varying playback at this time. What interesting is that if I go and play what I'd consider a minority genre, like "Classical", which I don't have a gread deal of, it seems to follow with mostly classical tunes, or piano based pop that flows quite well - which demonstrates a remarkably effective matching ability in place with your default settings. I do have a couple of questions in respect of genre though: i) Will it handle multiple genres on a track? (e.g. if I have a track with "Rock" and "Soundtrack", would a group with either of these still potentially pick the track? ii) In the Server config, you have "Restrice genres", Yes/No. Does this override the choice of DSTM - "Similarity" or "Similarity (Ignore Genre)". I'm not to sure if both are required, unless you want different players utilising different options. And a couple of thoughts on what may be useful additional options in future: i) Can you add a basic genre exclusion option? (e.g. Exclude "Audio Book", "Language Course" to exclude things you're never realistically going to want in a mix.) This could also be applied when analysing tracks. ii) What about considering playcount in the selection? I'm thinking this could be used to prioritise tracks that have not been listened to before or recently.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Music Similarity DSTM mixer
I'm no expert, but I had problems at first with the database missing all
the metadata... i.e. if I looked at the music-similarity.db file most of
the fields were null - hence the line below leads me to suspect it could
be a similar issue that you have:
Code:
metadata:{"title": null, "artist": null, "album": null, "albumartist": null,
"duration": null...
To quote @cpd76 on this, which resolved the issue for me...
-If your meta-data is null then that's not good. If you pass "-m" when
starting music-similarity for analysis it will re-read the metadata, and
save to DB. This might hlep resolve your issue.-
Might be worth a try.
