Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Track spontaneously appearing twice in album

2021-06-02 Thread slartibartfast


Well this is weird. I have just noticed these duplicated tracks. In
library.db they both have the same timestamp back in 2013. I have
another copy of library.db from April this year and the duplicate didn't
exist then. How can that happen?[image:

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Music streaming stops intermittently

There have been 'similiar discussions in the squeezelite thread'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?97046-Announce-Squeezelite-a-small-headless-squeezeplay-emulator-for-linux-(alsa-only)=981302=1#post981302).

The discussion goes on for many pages and I have not been able to
reproduce the problem, but several users have reported the issue.

Do you also get socket errors in the squeezelite logs?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Top Tracks and Flop tracks

2021-06-02 Thread Jeddie


I'm still using Ver 7.9 but considering going to 8.x soon. Since
TrackStat plugin is not recommended for >LMS8.0, I thought would
re-visit Top Tracks and Flop Tracks as a substitute method to get a play
count.

Good news; Top/Flop tracks work. Can see them in my LMS.

Bad News; The play count is different between TrackStat (LH pic) and Top
Tracks most played (RH pic)? For example;
Both show 'Budapest' as my most played song (37). I agree with this.

But for example #2 song 'Dont Stop' (and #3 & #4 song) on TrackStat
list do not appear on Top Tracks?

Why would that be?

P.S. I recently got a new win10PC and restored my TrackStat
settings/play count. But is this had an affect on play count why is Top
Tracks correctly showing 'Budapest' as most played?

I have skimmed the above posts but since other users do not have your
problem, I would start looking at what is different on yoursystem - 
You have virtualised system - can you give more detaisl (e.g. Ubuntu
virtualised under Windows ?)

The FIN/RST issue can come about from packets not arriving. Years ago
one cause of this was a Windows security s/w inserted into network chain
and then holding onto last packet for "examination"

You seem to have suqeezelite , wireshark and LMS logs. Can you see if a
packet goes missing - probably LMS to Client  ? 

> How does LMS manage data transmission rate? Is the rate controlled by
> LMS or client?

Client "controlled".  Client issues a http/GET - LMS pushes the data out
as fast as it can so if when client buffer fills, TCP windows will stop
advancing and so LMS will not be able to send any more data until it is
allowed but it'll try.  The GET is on a separate TCP connection from
slimproto communications.

After initiating playback, client will put data into buffer until it
reaches a threshold and then it starts playing.  For small files,
usually LMS will continue sending data to client and so client will end
up buffering whole file while playing.
For large files, LMS will fill internal buffer, playback will continue,
as buffer is emptied client will request more data from LMS to kepp
buffer topped up. IIRC Underrun is sent when decoded buffer is empty. 
LMS logs of slimproto can be enable to show state of internal buffer as
reported by client.

If you alter client buffer sizes (there are two: receive and decoded) -
you may be able to characterise the problem a bit better.
