Well, all was well until the Wandboard began refusing connections. It
was working fine, but suddenly it began refusing all connections (it
does respond to a ping with no problem). Until now I have been
connecting to the board using SSH from my desktop computer. The last
thing I was able to do, as I recall, was to change the Locale from the
default "C" to EN_US-utf8 (so that accented characters could be read by
LMS). But now every time I try to connect I get the "Connection refused"
message. To me this implies that the board has booted.

So I tried connecting the board to a monitor via the HDMI port and
plugging in a keyboard via the USB port. When I power on the Quad, I get
the Wandboard.org logo on the screen, but after that nothing except a
flashing HDMI port icon and then a "No Signal" message from the monitor.
The keyboard seems to be responding, because when I hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete
the board restarts and I see the Wandboard logo again, but after that
"No Signal" again.

Any suggestions as to how I can troubleshoot would be appreciated. I'm
ready to provide any information anyone might need.

TIA

PS I do realize that this is a Linux problem and not an LMS problem, but
it's very hard to get help, especially where Arch Linux is concerned.

The sordid truth is that what I was trying to do was avoid having to
learn to deal with SQL commands! That's something I said I was going to
do about a year ago, but so far it has not happened. That was in this
thread:

https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?109818-Hoping-for-help-with-SQL-Playlist

(That's purely for reference. I'll try to describe my goal here, so it
should not be necessary to follow that link.)

As I said in the second post in that thread, I would like to be able
create random playlists (using either the built-in Random Mix or the SQL
Playlist plugin) on the basis of relatively complex Boolean expressions,
using both AND and OR filters, like this:

(Country AND Instrumental) OR (Jazz AND Vocal) OR Rock

Assuming those are all valid genre tags, I could easily create a library
view containing all files with the Country genre tag, and from that
another library view containing all of the Country files that also
contain the Instrumental genre tag. I could do the same with Jazz and
Vocal. And Rock would only require one step.

Having done that, I would have three sublibraries that I would like my
random mix to draw from. As far as I know, that is not possible; only
one library view can be active, right? So I was hoping for a way to
combine the three library views into one.

But it's probably time for me to buckle down and learn a little SQL.
Erland very generously provided some suggestions in the earlier thread
and my only excuse for now following up is laziness.

Thanks for replying Michael, but I really don't think this is something
you need to worry with.

Marco later agreed that it does indeed work with 7.9.2.

As to what C3PO can do, it can access the full capability of sox, which
squeezelite can't (as far as I know).  It therefore can apply all sorts
of bells and whistles should one wish to do so.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Artists not showing in menus

2019-12-11 Thread MillmoorRon


Looking at library.db for the "missing" artists:

The artist has an id in "contributors" table
The artist id has a corresponding id in "contributor_albums" table and
this id points to "No Album" in "albums" table.
The artist id has a corresponding id in "contributor_track" table and
this id points to the correct URL in "tracks" table.

Nothing has changed in my music files (tags) recently.

I'm confused as it had been working for many years until I moved to
7.9.1 (now 7.9.2)

Earlier in this thread, it was stated C3PO is really not compatible with
LMS 7.9.2.  Not sure if the reasons why.  

If you are only using squeezelite devices, there is no reason to
resample server side.  Squeezelite can handle resampling  needs.   Even
a RPI zero can resample  to 384k without significant CPU load.

The -W option works when I use C3PO with Ralphy's squeezelite on my
laptop and desktop. It should for you provided you select the player
with that version of squeezelite.

IIRC the stream would re-start at the latest position once it got more

If you use Material skin there is a setting to add a proper "stop"
button for exactly these reasons.
Material will work nicely on a iOS device and if you use iPeng in player
mode it can co-exist on the same device and work as you would want.
