Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Drops in sound when playing Apple Lossless
Thanks for the info. I didn't know that about channels 1, 6 and 11. 6 and eleven are pretty congested allready. Channel 1 however, it seems like there is only one other person using this. I'll look into changing my router to channel 1 tomorrow.

Fingers > crossed... You might consider setting your router to use a different channel than most of your nearby neighbors. Also, channels 1, 6, or 11 will be best, as they are the only 2.4gh WIFI channels that don't overlap with nearby channels. See which of 1,6,11 is least used by neighbors and change to that. Also, don't allow your router to use any sort of "smart channel" management (where it moves around automatically to different channels.). *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.4) > LMS 7.9.1 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.4) > LMS 7.9.1 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9.1 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Transporter, Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109114 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

No, I guess I didn't. At the moment I didn't think it was relevant since I assumed it was a transcoding issue. Now, while I'm writing this I've been listening to a Chris Rea album in Apple Lossless for about half an hour on all 4 devices simultaneously and I didn't have any dropouts so far. I downloaded Wifi-Analyzer on my phone and at the moment I'm the only one in the neighbourhood using wifi channel 7. Perhaps when I got the dropouts someone in the neighbourhood was using channel 7 as well hampering my wifi connection. I'm gonna keep an eye on it but for now everything works as it should.

Now it's again not working. This time I get the following message in system.log: Jun 2 09:48:13 localhost com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (Squeezebox[86]): Service could not initialize: 17G31f: xpcproxy + 11793 [549][809DFA0C-D637-3382-9253-032F3215580B]: 0x14 When I open the preferences pane and click on LMS it's indeed not started. I can still start it manually without any errors. I guess that it starts up too early in the boot process and maybe iTunes or an external mounted drive is not ready yet?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Database optimization fails
mherger wrote: > May I ask how you use the TrackStat plugin? Which of its features are > the most important? And where do the performance issues kick in? Hi Michael I periodically receive links with new albums from a provider that serves several German/Swiss/Austrian download platforms with music, for which I am invited to write reviews online. I do not care about single titles or singles or only when the album is available. I do it for a small fee per review, but it's not my main job ;-). And I'm compensated with the music ;-). I download all new albums 2-3x a month, correct the tags according to my needs (4 categories Jazz, Rock, Pop, Soul, R & B), execute Replaygain. Then I listen through the recently added, unrated albums. For this I use the predefined Trackstat queries. I rate those albums that do not interest me in one move with *, the others are listened to more closely and their titles are rated. Incidentally, over 50% of my collection is rated *, but I cannot persuade myself to delete those albums. Since LMS runs on a fast SDD and since LMS 7.9 the corresponding Trackstat queries are OK. It was much worse with 7.5.6. So the performance problems are not my main problem anymore. For my private listening I use library views. These have been a big help since 7.9. But for example, until now I have not been able to create a library view for unrated albums or titles via a advanced search query (there is missing a corresponding variable in the input mask, perhaps this is not possible). Trackstat may not be well integrated into LMS as a plugin in this respect. However, it's easy to compile titles with minimal ratings for a given time period or genre via a library view. These work well: 2018_3 + (163 tracks) (Example: All tracks rated at least *** from albums from 2018) 3+ (198,663 tracks) (Example: All tracks with at least ***) 4+ (23,034 tracks) (Example: All tracks rated at least ) 5 (3,139 tracks) (Example: All titles rated *) 5_Classical (102 titles) 5_Jazz (119 tracks) Added2018 (46,382 tracks) AllClassical (43,412 tracks) AllJazz (129,925 tracks) BestOf00s (6,329 tracks) BestOf1968 (180 titles) BestOf2010 + (4,175 titles) BestOf2016 + (111 tracks) BestOf50s (143 tracks) BestOf60s (1,001 tracks) BestOf70s (2,930 tracks) BestOf80s (3,731 tracks) BestOf90s (4,682 titles) BestOfAll (23,034 tracks) BestOfAll320kb / s (12,244 tracks) BestOfAll_ohne_Klassik (22,445 titles) BestOfClassical (758 titles) BestOfJazz (2,269 tracks) BestOfVor1950 (7 tracks) before1950 (8,156 tracks) Main problem: I've had to replace the external hard drives several times, be it because of full disk or defects. I also have 3 backup generations. It is extremely cumbersome to restore reviews with Trackstat Restore. The import always takes several days. There is also no feedback about the restore status. The file paths must match exactly (or I have to manually edit the backup file, which is not trivial because oft he file size of about 300 MB). If Trackstat was integrated with LMS, I could sleep better. Still, LMS is by far the best thing I've come across for my purposes. And I even asked radio studios about their professional systems. These exceed my financial possibilities.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] search doesnt find "3 letter" artist
Is it just me / my setup or is something changed sometimes ago? Yesterday i was searching for "PIL" but there was no match. Using Advanced search and searching for PIL - there is a match. Since its the same with OMD i think the reason for that is the short Name. I cant remember really but i am pretty sure OMD had a match in a earlier Version. Maybe that was when i am using two Artist lists now i am using one (because of the various artist behavior) The Advanced search works for me so not a real issue.
