Hi Michael, 
No, I just installed the software from the download page. I just
installed windows 10 clean, updated it, downloaded firefox and then the
lastest LMS.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS can't rescan my music libraryafter I relocated it

2019-02-16 Thread Michael Herger

Unfortunately that didn't help. I tried it twice, both times wiping the
cache by nuking the 'cache' directory. The first cache was:


I'd still bet it's a permissions issue. Make sure the Squeezebox user 
has access to all levels of that path (not only the Albums folder, but 
/home, /home/music etc., every level).


Because that might be a bit tricky, I'd suggest you just move a bunch of 
files to a folder outside /home. Give it full access to everybody and it 
will work. Now you can go from there. Reset permissions to be only 
accessible to the owner and group. Make the Squeezebox user part of that 
group. It should still work.



/home/squeezeboxserver/cache  (AFAIK this was created when I installed
LMS from your RPM - I've certainly never created it as a user) and the
second was /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache - and again its cerrainly
nothing I've ever created.


This tells me that you've been doing more than you should ever have. You 
mentioned installing the RPM file. What else?

'locate' will not find any file, will it? And why would you expect this 
string to be human readable in the file?


IMHO you're making too many assumptions, trying too many things. I'd 
suggest you start from scratch. Remove anything SB related. Search your 
disk for anything *squeezeboxserver*. Install 7.9.2 RPM. Start with a 
new music folder outside /home. Then try again. If you can't "Browse 
Musicfolder" in to that folder, then you've got a permissions issue.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Server Won't Start

2019-02-16 Thread Michael Herger

Hello, sorry but I'm stucked. I've installed Logitech media server on an
clean intel nuc8i3be with windows 10, but the server doesn't start like
descriped above. I'm also tried to delete the file, reinstalled several
times, several versions and on my windows server 2016 desktop pc it's
working fine. I get the same error message (mkdir X:\: No such file or
directory; The system cannot find the path specified at /Slim/Utils/Prefs.pm line
112) from the serverlog.


When do you get this error? Did you copy the server.prefs from another 
installation?

I would also investigate what interface to use.

Coax/spdiff or toslink can not deliver discrete multichannel only DD or
DTS.

HDMI can do it .

USB ? Possibly I dont know must also be done in th recieving
device.

Is there a player such as Squeezelite that can deliver multichannel to a
hdmi port ? On for example raspberry Pi or an intel NUC ?

It didn't solve your problem (would've surprised me if it did), but
answered your question "force LMS to reinitialise the sqlite database".

Is it possible to browse My Music / Music Folder (WebUI) and play the
files?

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] How to play (in surround sound) 6 channel [5.1] surround sound flac files.

2019-02-16 Thread pierrepfeffer


(current situation)
I run LMS (flac native setting) on a NAS which delivers to an EDO Touch
(ethernet hardwired) which then sends those flac files by way of USB-out
to a two channel DAC and then on to my traditional stereo rig.   Pretty
standard so far.  I ALSO have a number of 6 channel [5.1] surround sound
flac files on my NAS.  I have high confidence these are true 6 channel
5.1 surround sound flac files.  My LMS sees those files and delivers
them as very large flac files to my Touch. Touch sees those files,
recognizes them as very large flac files, and pases them on to a 2
channel DAC which feeds then to my stereo where they play in stereo.

(issue)
I will be setting up a second system for 5.1 (6 channel) surround sound.
I want to use as much of the Logitech ecosystem as possible in that
system.

(questions)
1.  Is the LMS delivering flac files containing all 6 chnnels, or is it
down-mixing to stereo?
2.  If LMS is delivering the full 6 channel flac file, is the EDO Touch
pulling just two channels, or is it passing all 6 channels through
usb-out to the DAC?
3.  If the Touch is incapable of passing through all 6 channels
(assuming all 6 are ariving from LMS) is there another squeeze player
that will pass through all 6 channels to a surround sound (6 channel
flac) capable system?

(goal)
To use as much of my existing file delivery ecosystem as possible to
deliver 6 channel flac files to a new surround sound system.  

Thanks in advance.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS can't rescan my music library after I relocated it

2019-02-16 Thread Martin Gregorie
From: Mark Miksis 
>Does LMS have the proper permissions to read the new user's home dir?

Yes. The new 'music' user got normal permissions when created. I added
it to the 'users' group, which the 'av' user (where the music files had
been) and in addition I added it to the 'squeezeboxserver' group.

Similarly, the music files should reatain their original permissions.
They were originally in  /home/av/public_html/music so I moved the
'music' directory to /home/music and renamed it to 'albums' so its full
pathname became /home/music/albums and than ran 

sudo chown -R music.users albums 

against it, so all the music files and directories containing them are
readable by user.group and world and all belong to music.users

So, I don't see that there is any sort of permissions issue - alt least
one what can cause LMS to complain that: 

[19-02-15 16:44:14.1860] Slim::Utils::SQLiteHelper::postConnect (374)
Optimizing DB because of missing or empty sqlite_stat1 table
[19-02-15 16:44:14.2915] Slim::Schema::forceCommit (2149) 
Warning: Trying to commit transactions before DB is initialized!

I can confirm that there is no file called sqlite_stat1 or
sqlite_stat1* anywhere in the filing system: 'locate' doesn't find it,
even after an explicit run of 'updatedb' and LMS is complaining that it
is nonexistent or empty and THAT the database is not initialised, so
how can I force LMS to reinitialise the sqlite database?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Spaces in Player names?

2019-02-16 Thread Paul Webster

My understanding - if you launch the player with a -N filename where the
named local file has a player name in it then that is the name that the
player will give to LMS when it connects.
If you then change the name of the player from LMS web interface (etc)
then LMS will tell the player itÂ’s new name and the player should store
it back into the named local file.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Spaces in Player names?

2019-02-16 Thread ralphy


I've been using the -N option for ages, well really since Triode added
it back in Dec 2013 and I've never noticed that behaviour.
I usually populate the file with the playername when I first add the -N
option and I don't change player names very often.
Permissions could be the issue updating the -N file if squeezelite is
not running as root however squeezelite will log that with an 'unable to
store new name in file' warning.
