[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Erlang's Custom Browse now defunct in
latest LMS nightly builds. It's Genre-Album is my primary way of finding music in my 3300+ album music collection. The normal Genre option sorts by Artist. With a bazillion artists it's not practical to find anything browsing into Genre. Pondering options, I found out how to use Advanced Search to display the album's in a genre. I have to do a separate search for each genre, so it's cumbersome though it does work. But that lead me to think about the current Genre view. It shows a list of the genre's and then in each are shown all artists in that genre, sorted. This list has to be created by a database query. I know SQL would use "order by " to do this. How hard would it be to modify the query to "order by "? Seems like it should be rather easy ... literally change a single query term. But WHERE is this query in the LMS code? And what is the syntax of the DB code or keywords to do this? Thoughts? Is there another option that does not require putting 3300+ little files in every folder of my music library?

Supposed we are talkimg about local files playback, is "Seek" enabled in C-3PO player settings for flac? Is disabled by default becouse it could not work togheter STDIN input like Qobuz plugin and others, when transcoding. PasTim wrote: > > Upgrading to the DSD sox made a big difference.

Probably new sox is better than older one, but the fact it does not retain settings looks like a bug in C-3PO, I'll check it.

I tried the beta version (v2.02.11 - is that correct?) but repositioning still doesn't work. I'm repositioning using the LMS web page on Chrome - I don't know if that makes any difference. I'm on Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.1 - 1515659378 @ Thu Jan 11 09:26:58 UTC 2018. For a sanity check I turned off C3PO on the player and repositioning worked. Let me know if you have any other thoughts or things I could try. Upgrading to the DSD sox made a big difference. On the standard one it did not accept multi-threading or buffer settings - they just got wiped each time I set them. Now it starts quickly and doesn't take long to get through 2 tracks-worth (I have a large player buffer). Good stuff. LMS 7.9.1 on VortexBox Midi box, Xubuntu 17.10, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps.

Hi Michael, Thanks I did forward request to Tunein. Many thanks for your help.

In that system: a. repositioning in a track works to me b. SOX takes up to 95% of cpu time for the time (few seconds) needed to fill the player input buffer (or decode and upsample the frst two tracks), then it pause (or die, if two tracks are completely buffered) until the player streams out. That could delay the playback startup (currently delay is 3 secs in my system, settled in value in Player->Audio-> Audio Startup Time), If is too long for you (and longer than the one in settings) You could toggle SOX multithreading, increase a bit the sox buffer (to 16 o 32), decrease player buffer size (both in and out) to let SOX work a little bit more 'relaxed' but longer.

Are LMS running in windows? If so socket wrapper could be the origin of (both) problem(s), it's a nightmare! Please, lt me know.

Hi Marco, I am trying to arrange that all resampling and converting of all my flacs is done on my server, which then feeds squeezelite on a rather low power laptop (by wire) driving headphones by USB (48,000 only) It works, except that repositioning in a track doesn't.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS default local radiostation list does not show SRF 3 again
Hi Chris, Don't know what happened that SRF3 disappeared. I can't even find it any more using search. You should report this to TuneIn.com. They're providing the radio station list. But you can grab one of the streams from the document you listed, enter it in the LMS "URL laden" field. Once playing, save it as a favorite or preset. In ever use the Radios menus for the stations I'm listening to regularly. FWIW: I currently have this on my kitchen radio's preset 1. http://stream.srg-ssr.ch/drs3/mp3_128.m3u -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
