I think that is just the way it has always been. Only tracks by the
album artist will be listed for the compilation album.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Album Artist shows songs from Compilation

2022-02-14 Thread HerculePirate


I have organized my Library where compilations show as VA and fields
have COMP, ITUNESCOMPILATION & COMPILATION = 1
Yes when I browse my ALBUM ARTISTS, it shows me Compilation albums under
an Album Artist.

For Example:
Under Album Artist: Bon Jovi, The album "Slippery When Wet" and "Best of
Slow Rock" will show.
How do I have Album Artists show only albums and not Compilations.
Compilations to Show under "VA"

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Audio player for RPI 3B+ with SqueezeLite and Spotify, Tidal and ROON

2022-02-14 Thread HerculePirate


Hello,
I was hoping someone could help me figure out an Audio player for RPI
3B+.
I have tried:
Volumio: Does not have an official version with SQLite but does not
integrate well with Spotify
Moode: Could not get Spotify and SQLite to work. No music
pCP: Spotty has been very unreliabel. Spotify stops playing after a
track. iPeng is perfect

Any options that I have missed?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Spotty error and stops Music scanning process

2022-02-14 Thread HerculePirate


Hi @michael
I have uploaded again.

The problem is thats iPeng playback is great but SPOTTY does not play
continuously. After a song or midway, it stops playing and sometimes I
have to restart to end up with the same issue.
Any help ?
I am using picoreplayer as my front end. Is there any other player that
incorporates SQZLite and Spotify for a RPI 3B+

Thank you!! I was so clueless about CUE sheets assuming that they would
contain useful information. Much to my surprise, deleting them did not
cause any noticeable loss of useful information.

I did run the following on my music folder and then the problem was
solved:

find . -type f -exec metaflac --remove --block-type=CUESHEET * -- {} +

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS Needs Reinstall Each Time It is Played on Duet

2022-02-14 Thread Michael Herger

I uploaded the file to you. My system has two Duet receivers, each
attached to a separate Denon AVR in separate rooms. One is attached to a
Denon AVR 3313ci. An ethernet cable runs from my 2021 iMac to this part


And that's the Mac where LMS is living?

You said "LMS plays a selected song for only a few seconds": does it 
actually play music, then goes silent? Or are these few seconds just the 
progressbar moving a little?


I see quite a few "operation not permitted" messages in the log file, 
when LMS tries to read audio files. From the path I guess they're on an 
external disk. Did you grant LMS, perl5.18 etc. full disk access, as 
outlined in other macOS related threads?

Thanks, Michael-

I uploaded the file to you. My system has two Duet receivers, each
attached to a separate Denon AVR in separate rooms. One is attached to a
Denon AVR 3313ci. An ethernet cable runs from my 2021 iMac to this part
of my system. The other is attached wirelessly to the receiver, which is
connected to an older Denon AVR; I don't recall the model number, but
can get it if important. The wireless comes in on an Xfinity
modem/router, but I use a Netgear Orbi mesh router with a kind of
satellite. The wireless receiver connects to LMS on my Mac through the
satellite. I use Peng to control the receivers. Please let me know if
you need more.

Thanks again.

Getting started with LMS can be a challenge. Much has changed, just in
the past few years, and recent changes are not necessarily well
documented, because many are still works in progress.

For starters, you might look at the LMS section in the 'Squeezebox wiki'
(https://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Logitech_Media_Server.html).
Just be aware that much of what's there is now out of date, There's
still some good information there, but it will be hard to know which is
still good. It will, however, give you some historical perspective, if
you're interested in that.

As for getting to know LMS as it works today, the best way I can think
of is to load the LMS web interface as I mentioned previously at
LMS_IP:9000 (NOT in a mobile browser!) and then use the link at lower
right to go to the Settings page. Explore the tabs on the Settings page.
Many of the options available there have information boxes that will pop
up when you hover the mouse pointer over the "i" icon. There's a lot of
useful information you can find that way, and it's (mostly) guaranteed
to be current.

And when you encounter something baffling, you can always ask about it
in these forums.

Just Tested SoundJuicer 3.24 (Ubuntu 20.04) 

1. Ripped a album int Flac. SoundJuicer generated, folder for the Album,
falc file per track.
2. Failed to be scanned by LMS 8.2.* with errors.
3. ran "*metaflac --remove --block-type=CUESHEET *.flac*" on the folder
of flac file
4. Rescan the folder- no errors and all metadata is intact track name ,

2022-02-14 Thread michael.schefczyk


My workflow starts by ripping the CDs in my collection via Sound Juicer.
That seems to be a well established Debian package and it delivers flac
with some metadata. So far, it did not create any issues. I found it
easy to modify the metadata included by Sound Juicer slightly in the
following ways:
- Add album cover photo.
- Chance the album name to: "Composer: Album", because that would sort
well everywhere (kodi, VLC, legacy Squeezebox ...).
- Merge sets of multiple CDs so that they appear grouped.

What I found was that even the output of Sound Juicer without any
modifications (I did upload one example) is incompatible with the
current Logitech Media Server. Removing the metadata is certainly
possible. However, I would like all family members to be able to
identify and find the content without much IT expertise.

Is there a recommended workflow to reach that goal, such as use rip
software X (ideally available on Linux and open source), use MusicBrainz
Picard or software Y to modify tags ... ?

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Error trying to play music to SlimP3

2022-02-14 Thread tastewar


I have an original SlimP3 in my basement, and it doesn't get used very
often, so I'm not sure how long this has been broken. But not very long;
I do try to keep it working when I update stuff, etc.

I am currently running Logitech Media Server Version: 8.2.0 - 1627922070
on a piCorePlayer with music library on a physical disk attached to the
Pi (not that that should matter). I have the pcp-lame extension
installed, which I *think* is the main/only piece of additional software
required?? In Server Settings/Advanced/File Types, all the file types of
interest (really, 99% of my library is either MP3 or AAC) are set to use
faad/lame for conversion to MP3. When I attempt to play a file, the
first error I see in the server log is this:

[22-02-14 09:06:53.6337] Slim::Control::Request::execute (1888) Error:

method "protocolHandler" via package
"Slim::Player::SongStreamController" at

Anyone either know what I've done wrong, or have a clue about what would
be a useful next troubleshooting step?

Sort of, I'm not doing any network config at all at boot time currently.
My thought for this car project was:

- Start the car, aopen boots, no boot time network interface
configuration, LMS (with local media), squeezelite, and jivelite should
function normally on 127.0.0.1.
- For external connectivity, boot as above but then enable phone
hotspot, have an app launcher on the aopen run a network config script
- Much less frequently, I may want to dismount the aopen and bring it
inside, in which case I may also want to connect to ethernet instead of
wifi

The bond interface was to account for the last use case -  but so far,
the aopen hasn't left my desk and I've only been using the ethernet
port. I haven't tested swapping back and forth between wifi and ethernet
yet. That said, the bond interface with ethernet connectivity works well
and I haven't noticed any ssh delay?

The bond commands I'm using I put into a script, though this will need a
lot of work to be robust in production!


Code:


  #!/bin/sh
  ip link add bond0 type bond
  ip link set bond0 type bond miimon 100 mode active-backup
  ip link set eth0 master bond0
  ip link set mlan0 master bond0
  ip link set bond0 up
  udhcpc -i bond0

It's great that the change allows jive to connect.  The problem has been
an issue with both squeezeplay and jivelite for a long time.
I didn't test the change in an network isolated environment, so can't be
sure what's causing the delay.

Are you using bonding?  I've noticed that sometimes it takes a longer
time to connect via ssh to my aopen with it enabled?

It's a small annoyance to have the ability to connect an ethernet cable
when the wifi link fails and the same mac address regardless of which
interface is active.

It sounds like your pCP hasn't stored the network mount in its config
