Well, did all that and it didn't help. I gave perl, bash, and perl5.18 full disk access using the instructions above; same error message. As well as sh?

Well, did all that and it didn't help. I gave perl, bash, and perl5.18 full disk access using the instructions above; same error message. For grins, I copied an album into the boot drive iTunes folder, and it looks like the LMS scanner successfully accessed and scanned those files. The issue seems to be permissions on the external drive (or permission for LMS to access the external drive folder to scan it). I did make sure the external drive had permissions enabled for my user name, for admin, and for system. Used the disk repair utility to check permissions. Restarted. Are there some other files that need full disk access?

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] How to resample everything sent to one device to specific fixed sample rate
Hi,
hoping to find some help here on how to set up sample rate conversion on
Squeezeserver 8.3.0 running Linux.
I acquired MiniDSP DDRC-24 Dirac box to run Dirac based DRC on my
system.
https://www.minidsp.com/products/dirac-series/ddrc-24
This MiniDSP and Dirac works great so far, but according to information
published on audio science review DDRC-24 internally resamples
everything to 48kHz and does it very badly, so it is recommended to run
sample rate conversion before DDRC-24 and feed it with 48000Hz signal.
https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/measurements-of-minidsp-2x4hd.2459/page-2
I have dedicated an old Squeezebox Classic for this task and would like
to perform sample rate conversion for all data types it receives on
squeezebox server.
What I already managed is to assemble a custom-convert.conf (thanks to
information I found here) containing the conversion below for Flac
files, which are a majority of my library.
flc flc * 00:0:00:00:00:00
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}D:{RESAMPLE=-r %d}
[flac] -dc --totally-silent $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -q -t wav -
-t flac -C 0 - rate 48000
It works wonderfully for Flac so far, resamples all sampling rates on
the fly for the defined mac address, in track scrolling works as well,
so all good with Flac.
Now there are couple more formats in my library, so i am looking for
help to roll the conversion out for this formats as well.
These formats are in particular:
- mp3 (all aver the place rewarding bit rate, VBR, CBR etc.)
- aac (mostly 256 CBR I guess)
- dff/cue
- dsf
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just some side notes regarding DSD.
I have DSDPlayer (v1.07) installed, unfortunately it only downsamples to
44100Hz when sending the stream to Classic. I would like to keep it
installed for other devices like Touch. I also don't want to convert DSD
files to PCM permanently, as my main system (PicorePlayer and Teac
UD-501) can play did natively just fine.
I have tried C3PO plug in, but found the results to be erratic and gave
up in lack of progress.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Can't Type in LMS Preferences after Mac OS Monterey Upgrade
Spoke too soon. The server runs, but the scanner can't open any of the files on the external driver because it doesn't have permission. Is there a similar utility that will fix those permissions for LMS? See one of my previous responses: you have to grant perl full disk access in the security settings of your macOS.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Tidal free tier?
Also switching audio quality between FLAC and AAC 320kbps appears to work, although I have noticed that audio quality switching does not work immediately. When I play a track in AAC 320kbps and then select FLAC, the current track keeps playing in AAC quality, also after stopping playback and starting playback again. Only after selecting a different track the audio quality changes to FLAC. Not a big deal, and just for information. I can confirm (and explain) this: tracks are handled as URLs. Each track in your queue has a URL like tidal://123456.flac. That extension would define what stream to pull down. As long as that's in the queue you'd get the same quality (if allowed). ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] How to list all Albums and Artists in LMS library
Thanks so much Roland0 for lms_getalbums - pretty much exactly what I
needed. I have but one request (would have a go myself, but my Python
knowledge is VERY rudimentary - pretty much do everything I do with Bash
scripts...).
Here's the issue (fyi, I use the --no-sortcase --sort-ignorearticles
options):
- Artist 1 Name: *Family* (both TPE1 & TPE2 tags are "Family")
- Artist 2 Name: *The Family* (both TPE1 & TPE2 tags are "The
Family")
- In LMS Settings > My Music > Articles to ignore when sorting, I
have: The El La Los Las Le Les
lms_getalbums produces:
36279
The first 5 albums are by Artist 1; The 6th album ("The Family") is by
Artist 2. But, everything is grouped under the "Family" artist name.
So, what would be really good(!) would be something like IF ArtistName
includes an "Article to ignore when sorting", THEN append ", " to ArtistName. So, in my example, I would see the first 5
albums listed under ArtistName "Family", and the 6th album listed
separately under ArtistName "Family, The".
Hope that makes sense. And I rather suspect it would require a lot of
rework in your script (not to say the possible addition of a further
command line switch... "--append-ignorearticles").
Regards, Jon

Thanks for checking. Can you confirm also that the changes Tidal have made to their plans will not otherwise affect the availability through LMS? I am thinking specifically of the plan that used to be called Premium and that has now been amalgamated into "HiFi". It should "just work": when a user wants to play a track we check what the highest quality is he's allowed to stream.
