Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Help a newbie get LMS software working on Macbook Air again for Squeezebox Touch
Hey, don't get me wrong Michael. I am super-psyched that this is working right now. I think I'll still be up playing around with it tonight in the wee hours. I see already it has some cool new smart search functions where it guesses what artist or album you are typing into the search window. Like a lot of the other better search engines. Maybe a fairly common thing these days, but a very nice touch. I had sort of given up that I would ever be able to update the LMS software. I looked back at the case I opened with Logitech when I started having scanning problems with 7.6 software. It was back in 2011, and they basically told me they couldnt help me and I should just keep using 7.5.5. Couple that with the fact that I use the Squeezebox *every single day, for hours and hours*. I'm a long-time music collector. These days I mostly collect LPs, but I still have a collections of several thousand discs. And when I'm not playing LPs, I spend a lot of time checking out new music wirelessly. This may sound ridiculous, but I use the Squeezebox so much that I have been afraid to upgrade the operating system on my iMAC. Because the one time I did that, 7.5.5 server software stopped working, and I already had it in my mind that if I upgraded it, I would run into scanning issues. Anyway, for now I am having fun with it. And I have one more question for the moment: The Squeezebox device itself is now continually prompting me to upgrade the firmware to 7.9.0. For now, I am ignoring the notice. Just being overly cautious, but in the event I do find I cant use 7.9.0 and need to revert back to something earlier like 7.5.5 again, is there any issue with having the updated firmware on the device itself while having an earlier LMS version on your computer? nnck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65499 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105266 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

may just be the setting for how multidiscs album are treated as one or as separate discs . Excellent congrats to be able to use a modern version of LMS :) good for us all that someone new reports a scanner crash .

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Help a newbie get LMS software working on Macbook Air again for Squeezebox Touch
Dont want to get my hopes up, but it may have worked this time! I removed the suspect image file from the folder. I'm sending that image file to you in your dropbox Michael. Next I just started up another scan using 7.9.0 with all the debugging on, etc. I had to leave for about an hour or so, but when I got back it looked like it had completed. I'm sending the new scanner.log to you as well Michael. I'm wondering if you can tell me what you make of it. One odd thing is that according to the Media Library Statistics on the first tab of the Squeezebox preference pane, there are actually a handful of more tracks scanned using 7.9.0 than 7.5.5, but there are actually about 200 fewer albums in the new scan vs 7.5.5. A little odd? 7.5.5 had 33983 tracks in 3933 albums 7.9.0 has 34086 tracks in 3748 albums I dont want to get bogged down in that too much. I think i will just use the new LMS 7.9.0 for a while and see how it works out for me. If there are no serious issues, I will then upgrade my Macbook Air to the same version. nnck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65499 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105266 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Help a newbie get LMS software working on Macbook Air again for Squeezebox Touch
Hi Michael. When I have some time next, I will remove that image file (if I can find it) and rescan. I will send you the image file if you like (again, as long as I can find it). A couple of posts back someone else was also asking me "We didnt know how many files, -where the artwork is stored -and the filesize..." I just have all of my albums each in a separate folder within a single large Music folder on the iMAC. I assume the image files are just in the folder along with the album? If not, then I wouldn't even know where they are. I will check on this one when I get back home. nnck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65499 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105266 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Are you sure it's actually stopping there , if you haven't used the full text search plugin before it migth take time to complete ? 20 minutes is not that much ?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Help a newbie get LMS software working on Macbook Air again for Squeezebox Touch
Seems strange, Michael, as I'm sure I had set the 'scan' options to debug and hit apply before i did the scan on 7.9.0. And afterwards, I did a clean install of 7.5.5. So unless the default is for 'debug' on these options in 7.5.5, why would it do that? I'll try again when I have some time. Maybe tonight. I know this is a slow process, but I'll keep plugging away at it. I'll set the artwork options to debug as well then? You do at least see from the last line that it was stuck in precaching artwork, correct? nnck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65499 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105266 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
