Check out server.log.


I think this was a typo - I found a presets section for each player in

Oops... of course you're right. I have to type "please provide your

The preset I copied is a radio station.

I guess "text" would be set to whatever you pass as the title.


Any tips for how to get the URL of the currently playing playlist item

C'mon!... now that I've started to look into the RandomPlay bottlenecks 
with a 100k "collection" :-). There definitely is some unnecessary

I took a copy, then stopped LMS and edited server.prefs to copy a preset
from one of my Booms to the pCP squeezelite player, did a backup and
restarted LMS and it worked like a charm - I now have a preset that
starts on the long press of one of my hardware buttons.

The preset I copied is a radio station.

Thanks Michael, I'll have a play with both of those.  I don't think the
CLI method will fit conveniently into a standard sbpd command, but since
sbpd allows for calling a separate script I think that could work.  My
scripting skills are non-existent at the moment, so figuring out how to
get the URL and icon from LMS and constructing the corresponding command
line could be a challenge.

1) a file on the server that I can edit?  Where would that be in a pCP

Check out server.log. There's a "presets" entry for every player. Don't 
edit the file while LMS is running. Make a backup before you modify it.



3) a CLI command to achieve this, which could be programmed onto an Sbpd
button?


There is a CLI command which is not documented. Don't know why. Might be:

00:04:20:... jivefavorite add title:MyRadio 
url:http://myradio.com/listen icon:http://myradio.com/icon.png type:audio


Haven't tested this, but that's what I understand from the code.

I do have tags they are just not very consistent: for example I have:

All with different tags like Rock, Classic Rock, Oldie and so on =)

wow, i was not aware of that feature - it works perfectly. Thank you

@Iphone: I have at least 30 GB free on the system drive of the server.
And yes you are right nothing beats a neatly organized collection with
proper tags, covers and so on. I tried to tag everything with CD Tag a
few years back but I gave it up eventually - it just took too much time.

Now I am used to navigate my library on a filename and folderbase only -
on the PC Foobar2000 does a wonderful job but when it comes to
musicservers / kodi / mpd / upnp / subsonic and so on you only end up in
pure chaos with my "system".

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Random Mix Problems

The big issue here is that RandomPlay would first create a full list of
all track IDs. This list is being used to make sure we don't repeat
tracks. Whenever a track is being played, that id is removed from the
list.

Is there some way to disable this? I'd prefer the playlist loading
quickly. If it has 1 duplicate in I'd just skip it.


No. I don't have a collection as large as yours. But I'd have to do some 
serious profiling in order to figure out where exactly the bottleneck is 
in this case.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Looking for information about Presets

2018-05-23 Thread chill

I'm running pCP 3.5.0 on a Raspberry Pi 3B+.  I also have some push
buttons that are configured using the SqueezeButtonPi daemon.  It all
works very well.  I'd now like to investigate whether Presets can be
used with this setup.

I can configure a button to play a given preset (e.g.
PRE1=["button","preset_1.single"]), but since I don't have any presets
configured for this player, I get an error message on the attached
Joggler screen that says "Preset #1 not defined."

I posted a similar question in the Sbpd thread, but having now
experimented for quite a while with various command strings (with no
success) I think it's more appropriate to ask in the LMS forum.  What
I'd like to know is how to configure presets on Squeezelite.  I
appreciate that presets are supposed to be associated with preset
buttons, e.g. on a Boom, but now that there's an easy way to add
hardware buttons to a pCP setup it seems like the preset concept could
apply.

On my Boom, I navigate to an an item, such as a track, then do a long
press on one of the preset buttons, and that stores the preset.  I think
that preset is specific to that Boom, and isn't available to other
players.  So what command does the Boom trigger when I do a long press
on a preset button?

I saw some commands in the IR default mapping file, but since the
procedure on the Boom uses a hardware button rather than an IR command,
I don't think anything in that IR mapping file is what I'm looking for -
certainly nothing that I tried seems to work.

So to configure a preset on Squeezelite, is there perhaps:
1) a file on the server that I can edit?  Where would that be in a pCP
setup?
2) a way to use the attached Joggler to achieve this?
3) a CLI command to achieve this, which could be programmed onto an Sbpd
button?

For Michael: does the built playlist use disk space? What I am asking is
if he has limited remaining disk drive space available could that impact
performance?

For tr0ner:
How much free disk disk space do you have remaining?

I know its a pain, but this is why Tagging is so important during the
ripping process and fixing tags after ripping is so important especially
for large music libraries. Consistency is the key to fast organized
music library database.

I have a large library by any standard of measurement and proper tagging
is the only thing that makes it manageable. It's time to download a copy
of MP3Tag if you don't already have a copy and do an hour of re-tagging
a day until your library is cleaned up. If it were me, I would make a
list of absolute Genre that I just had to have. For me it took labeling
Albums as just "Rock" whether it was hard rock, pop rock, 70s rock, 80s
rock, southern rock, alt rock, classic rock, acid rock, blues rock,
country rock, british rock, garage rock, glam rock, indie rock, hair
band rock, progressive rock, etc . . . .  

I tried to do away with easy listening, by putting it in pop, but it
made it to hard for the better half to quickly play her type of tunes.

One good thing about MP3Tag is that it is very powerful, so changing all
"acid rock" labelled tracks to just "Rock" only takes a click or two and
you can go do something else if you have a large genre being changed to
match an even larger genre because you are not doing each one
individually plus you don't have to individually approve each change
when doing a batch.

Just my thoughts from a Music/LMS junkie with an overly large music
library. I have a powerful dedicated Server with 8GB of Ram running
Vortexbox 2.4 and LMS. It takes about 10 to 30 seconds to build a
specific genre playlist and about 3 minutes and 21 seconds on average to
build a random song playlist with all genres checked. No matter the
size, the playlist builds and starts playing automatically after an X
amount pause. If I had more specific Genre with fewer songs in them, I
am sure some single Genre picks would probably start playing almost
instantly. But again I am using broad Genre labels so as to limit the
total number of Genres.

As you're new - a bit of advice.  You've made two post on the same topic
but to threads which are old and not related to your problem (e.g. this
thread is for a QNAP system).  To get the "right" people to see your

system details would probably be read by more users.

The error is usually associated with a problem in transcoding either a
setting has changed or a transcoding support application is blocked by
Windows security.

To help find the problem details are needed 

* what sort of player are you using ?
* Are any of the settings for "WAV"  under
WebUI/Setting/Advanced/Filetypes  disabled ?  - they should be Flac ->
"flac/sox"  MP3  -> "lame" and PCM -> "native"

Hi Michael,

thank you for coming back to me.
I already tried to set the memory usage to maximum, unfortunately it
made 0 difference.

I have about 250.000 tracks in the library.
(Like I said the library is a total mess)

The strange thing is that the server handles it perfectely when listing
artists, looking for random albums and searching for tracks. Only the
random mix crashes. Also it crashes the server pretty much immediately
not after loading for a minute or two. There is 0 output in the logfile.
After a while it just shows that the server has been started again)

About 8 years ago when I still had the original squeezebox duet hardware
my library was nearly as huge too but the random mix used to work
flawlessly. Maybe something got changed in the server software how it
generates the random mix / handles the database? 
Maybe it would make sense to revert to an older version of LMS server?

If I can supply you with anything else to find the cause please let me
