Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Help - LMS / Tidal has become skippy

2020-09-26 Thread Niconico


Hi all,
further to the above, I've now found that I have to restart LMS about
every 3 days otherwise the track skipping behaviour mentioned above
starts. I do this by adding or removing any Plugin that I'm not using,
forcing a restart. After that, it's fine... for about 3 days. 

Anyone else have that? It's liveable, but would be real nice to get rid
of.

Nico

Thanks for both these ideas. I have no rules blocking traffic within my

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Normalising artist tag characters to avoid duplicates

2020-09-26 Thread mr-b


The issue with scripts is that you have to keep on running them. Yes the
ideal is to fix the tags at source, but it's a nver ending task as one
adds to the library.
The LMS scanner would just do it in the database each time.

The taste aspect could be catered for by specifying which would be the
master (oops, sorry) primary character string to substitute for aliases
e.g. "The [artist]" for ""[artist], The", "and" for "&" or "And" etc.

There's a similar function 'Articles to Ignore When Sorting' already
under My Music, with the default  "The El La Los Las Le Les".

I have dozens of scripts that run with regexes in mp3tag to do this kind
of thing automatically. The problem is really one of taste - maybe you
or I want The Smiths but there will be plenty who prefer Smiths, The...

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Normalising artist tag characters to avoid duplicates

2020-09-26 Thread mr-b


Hi

Is it possible for the media scanner to ignore common variants of Artist
names to avoid duplicates in the Artist list?
(I'm sure this will have been asked before but I couldn't find the
answer.)

For example normalising "The", &, 'and', punctuations and case variants
would prevent these from all being listed as different artists:

The Smiths
Smiths, The
2 many dj's
2 Many DJ's
2 many dj"s
Babes in toyland
Babes In Toyland
Belle & Sebastian
Belle and Sebastian
Belle And Sebastian


Yes I know I could spend (even more) time with mp3tag but it'd be really
handy to have an LMS scanner option to do this automagically.

No need to unhide, I can already see them.  I discovered why perl can be

That's a shame. But it's good to know this doesn't exist. So I can stop
looking. And good to know it's on your radar, so maybe there might be a
plugin in the future. 
Anyway, thanks for your lighting quick replies. This was the fastest and

Those plugins are already installed. Tidal, Deezer plugins via
mysqueezebox.com, Qobuz and Spotify via LMS server settings/plugins.
Streaming with all of them works well. Just the controll is
complicated.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] SlimP3 not connecting

2020-09-26 Thread Jeff07971


Have just fired up my SliMP3 and all seem to work, this is with LMS 8 on
a "Full Fat" Linux so not directly equivalent.

I was wondering if SliMP3 had auto LMS discovery (it does) however in
settings (at first boot) you can specify the LMS server IP Address.

I would try to specify the LMS server IP first and if all OK then try to
troubleshoot the autodiscovery failure.

IIRC SLIMP3 protocol is slightly different to other players. Check
whether your router or PC firewall is blocking UDP ports & broadcasting.

Material is just a skin for the LMS web interface, Squeeze Ctrl can do
everything you want to do if you install the LMS plugins.

I think what's being suggested is to install the relevant plugins for
LMS that allow playback from Tidal, Qobuz and Spotify, controlled by
whatever LMS controller you currently use. 

So, in my case I use Spotify (I don't have streaming accounts for Tidal
or Qobuz). I also use the Material skin on my LMS installation. There is
also a Material app for Android devices.

Approaching from a different direction. Why not use Material on your

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Can you connect Tidal/Deezer/Qobuz to LMS8 just like Spotify

2020-09-26 Thread PhilZeroZero7


Hi,

Is there a way to connect TIDAL to LMS just like Spotify does? The LMS
player should show up in the devices list of the TIDAL android app.


To clarify what I would like to do:

my setup: 

-  me: on my couch, in front of my stereo, holding my android device
-  audio source: LMS8 running on a raspi4 with a digione signature
  hat
  

Basically I want use my android phone as the only remote control to
listen to HiRes music.
This ist what works:

-  using "squeeze ctrl" to listen to Tidal HiRes Streams 
-  using "squeeze ctrl" to playback audio files (from usb, network)
-  using "spotify" android app: connect to chromecast, google home,
  LMS
-  using "Tidal" android app: connect to chromecast, google home but
  NOT to LMS
-  using "Deezer" or "Qobuz" android app: connect to chromecast,
  google home but NOT to LMS 
  

So it's absolutely great, that I can already listen to HiRes streams
with this setup and thanks for all the work gone into the plugins. 
But I really would enjoy a more seamless experience. Like discovering
new music with Tidal, while listening on my prime stereo.

Now I discover new music listening to spotify, then search it in Tidal
and add it to favourites, then restart the Squeeze Ctrl app so it
refreshes the favourites, then click through my apps --> Tidal --> my
favourites --> titles --> and finally on the newly added song. The whole
process feels very disruptive to the listening experience.

Using only Spotify would be seamless but then there ist no point in
using Tidal or any other HiRes streaming service at all.

Does  such a plugin or possibility already exist (and I'm just to stupid
to find it)?

Best regards and thanks for your support,
Phil

PS:
This is what it lookes like (Wohnzimmer and Wohnzimmer TV are chromecast
and google home devices, "signature" ist the LMS Player I want.

I do have the occasional issue where the server just seems to stop - not
resolved it yet... (I've always assumed it was networking issues).

The classics are good for detecting network issues, because they go
'off' when there's no network.

My server PC is on a Powerline adaptor - and they're not very reliable
(in my experience and the forum digging I've done).
