[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] QLogitechMediaServer 2.21 not supportet by QTS 4.5 anymore - any solutions?
hello everyone! since the last update of qts to version 4.5.1.1.1480 (08.11.2020) the qlms process is automatically terminated every 3 hours. The cause is a missing signature. The same problem occurs with many other popular packages like servioo eg. This is very annoying. Is there possibly a solution? If not, then the update to 4.5.1.1 must not be installed! You lose all unofficial software!

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] How to return path of playing item?
Using a playlist is a good idea.
Here's a python script which reads all tracks from a LMS playlist, runs
a replace on the path name, and executes a local command with the paths
as an argument:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import urllib.request
from urllib.parse import urlparse
from urllib.parse import unquote
import json, subprocess
pls_name = "bad tags"
url = "http://lms:9000/jsonrpc.js;
path_server = "/data/music"
path_client = "/data/client"
exec_cmd = ["tageditor"]
headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
req = urllib.request.Request(url, json.dumps( {"id":1,
"method":"slim.request", "params": ["-", ["playlists", 0, 1,
"search:"+pls_name]]}).encode('utf-8'), headers)
with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as response:
result = response.read()
res = json.loads(result.decode("utf-8"))
if res and 'result' in res and res['result'] and 'playlists_loop' in
res['result'] and res['result']['count'] == 1:
req = urllib.request.Request(url, json.dumps( {"id":1,
"method":"slim.request", "params": ["-", ["playlists", "tracks", 0, 999,
"playlist_id:"+str(res['result']['playlists_loop'][0]['id']),
"tags:u"]]}).encode('utf-8'), headers)
with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as response:
result = response.read()
res = json.loads(result.decode("utf-8"))
if res and 'result' in res and res['result'] and
'playlisttracks_loop' in res['result']:
alltracks = exec_cmd
for track in
res['result']['playlisttracks_loop']:
alltracks.append( unquote( urlparse(
track['url']).path).replace( path_server, path_client))
cp = subprocess.run( alltracks,
stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
if cp.returncode != 0:
print("Error: exec failed
rc:{}\noutput:\n{}".format( cp.returncode, repr( cp)))
else:
print("Error: failed to get tracks for playlist
{})".format( res['result']['playlists_loop'][0]['id']))
else:
print("Error: playlist {} not found (result: {})".format(
pls_name, repr( res)))

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] How to return path of playing item?
If its of any use/value to anyone, I'm happy to share my "lms" Perl program that I posted about earlier in this thread. It is either command line, or works with the macOS app Alfred, but it allow simple command line control / query. The commands are table-drive, so its easy to add new ones. The Alfred portion of the code is only activated when called with the --alfred option, so it can be ignored on Windows or Linux. See post #3.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] How to return path of playing item?
If what you want to do is simply capture the path of the
*currently-playing song* rather than one randomly clicked on in the LMS
GUI, a tiny perl script like this
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use JSON::RPC::Client;
use JSON::XS;
no warnings 'uninitialized';
$client = new JSON::RPC::Client;
$res = $client->call( "http://192.168.1.10:9000/jsonrpc.js;, { method =>
'slim.request', params => [ '00:04:20:11:22:33', ['status', '-', '1', 'tags:u'
]]});
if ($res->is_success) {
$response=$res->jsontext; $jdata=decode_json $response;
$json = JSON::XS->new->pretty(1)->canonical(1)->encode($jdata);
print "$json\n";
}
will produce output like this
Code:
{
"method" : "slim.request",
"params" : [
"00:04:20:11:22:33",
[
"status",
"-",
"1",
"tags:u"
]
],
"result" : {
"can_seek" : 1,
"digital_volume_control" : 1,
"duration" : 348.455,
"mixer bass" : "0",
"mixer treble" : "0",
"mixer volume" : 19,
"mode" : "play",
"player_connected" : 1,
"player_ip" : "192.168.1.13:37256",
"player_name" : "Office",
"playlist mode" : "off",
"playlist repeat" : 2,
"playlist shuffle" : 0,
"playlist_cur_index" : "10",
"playlist_loop" : [
{
"id" : 719006,
"playlist index" : 10,
"title" : "Alone Tonight (Above & Beyond's Club Mix Mixed)",
"url" :
"file:///volume1/music/served/Trance/Super8%20&%20Tab/Super8%20&%20Tab%20-%2020%20Years%20of%20Anjunabeats/1-11%20[A%20&%20B]%20Alone%20Tonight%20(Above%20&%20Beyond%27s%20Club%20Mix%20Mixed).flac"
}
],
"playlist_timestamp" : 1605272315.77755,
"playlist_tracks" : 39,
"power" : 1,
"rate" : 1,
"seq_no" : 0,
"signalstrength" : 0,
"time" : 26.7784540042877
}
}
which contains the path information in the *url *field. No need to go
near the LMS GUI for this info, just grab it using the jsonrpc.js API.
This example is perl but I've done it in python, bash and nodejs too.
Just sayin'...

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Scanning problem after a recent 8.0.0 update
Copied from other thread: Just did an artist search on the term "Dvoák" on both systems and the one the complete track list had 85 more tracks than the one with the missing tracks accounting for almost all of them. So it looks like there's definitely a character set issue.

Gulp! This looks as if it's definitely worth looking into and I can see
that it'll require me to get yet another entire education and read even
more head-scratching Arch Linux documentation. I'll let you know how it
goes if and when I start delving into it!

Hey, thanks! I need to look into that. It sounds as if it might be within my grasp. I may be able to convert the paths in the playlists and then open them in Foobar, and I can do the tagging from there. I'm reading the documentation on the plug-in now. Thanks again.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Android APP problems, the app is asking for aif files when flac file is selected.
Hi all,
This year I moved form my old (2009) Synology NAS to a QNAP TS-453Be.
For my two Squeezebox Touch's I installed LMS 7.9.3 in a container
without much problems.
I also have a Denon AVR 3313 and it connects to the LMS server via DLNA.
Somehow the Denon will not play FLAC files natively but it will play a
transcode MP3 file. I have a simple solution for this which I will
describe below.
I can see that the Denon does not play FLAC files as FLAC by when
connecting my Denon to my TV. Here it shows the file type played is not
FAC but MP3 320 Kbps. The Denon clearly asks the LMS to transcode the
FLAC to MP3 while it capable to playing FLAC through it's internal DAC.
After analyzing it (years back) I found the cause to be that the LMS
server stores the native file type (FLC) as well as other type ( IAF,
MP3) in the UPnP database. To resolve this I made a small change to the
LMS code (Utils.pm) to prevent the "other types" to be placed in the
UPnP database so only one entry, the FLAC file, remains. Now my Denon
will play FLAC files from the LMS serve.
For anyone who ran into the same problem here is how to resolve it.
1 ) On the QNAP container locate the folder
/usr/share/perl5/Slim/Plugin/UPnP/Common
2 ) The code on line 238 pushes the files into the UPnP database
for my $type ( $native_type, @other_types ) {
3 ) Replace this line of code by the following one to only push the
native file type
for my $type ( $native_type ) {
4 ) now the only file that is pushed is the native file type. For Flac
this is Flac and MP3 this is MP3.
5 ) restart the LMS container and you are done.
6 ) Check the result on your TV, it should now show that the Denon AVR
is playing FLAC instead of MP3
This change will also work on Synology NAS's and probably works for
other Denon and Marantz AVR's other than the AVR 3313.
To check your UPNP database.
1 ) View UPnP database entries, for this use "Developer Tools for UPnP
Technology", "AV Media Controller.exe"
2 ) on DS209 it showed 2 entries; FLC and MP3
3 ) on QNAP it showed 3 entries; FLC, AIF and MP3
4 ) Denon AVR 3313 will (somehow) select the IAF/MP3 instead of the FLC
file
5) Utils.pm builds the UPnP database, adding a FLC file, followed by an
AIF and MP3 file
6 ) By only storing the $native_type in the UPnP database the Denon
plays FLAC files
7 ) This is done by updating the file Utils.pm
8 ) I stored a copy of the file Utils.pm in the shared folder
/mnt/state/etc/ so I could edit it from within windows
9 ) followed by copying it to the right location on QNAP by the
following command
cp /mnt/state/etc/Utils.pm
/usr/share/perl5/Slim/Plugin/UPnP/Common
cat /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Plugin/UPnP/Common/Utils.pm
10) The cat command checks that the copy step was done
successfully
So if your AVR does not play FLAC files as FLAC, this might be the
solution.

I meant (as someone else pointed out) that this could never be included inside LMS as everybody's file paths on Linux/Mac and Samba will be different. If you know what they both are in your environment then of course you can use some tool to find and replace a Linux path to a Samba one. I still think its a marginal use case for inclusion in LMS as a function for all and I don't actually believe it would be possible. To achieve what you need to do I use the Playlist Manager plugin and when I find a track with bad tags etc I add it to the "Bad Tags" or "Bad Cover" playlist and then periodically open those playlists in Notepad++ in one window while using file explorer and mp3tag in others. I still have to translate the Linux path to Windows and yes I could write a routine for Notepad++ that would do it for me but I don't have very many bad tags these days! Enjoy your sausage!
