No, just playing spotify / and 192k mp3s from my library. 

I uninstalled the group player plugin because it caused too many
headaches with player volumes.

I'm also going to try rebooting my server. Admittedly I don't very
often.

I have about 5 echos throughout the house, but i'm not using them for
music anymore, so it's squeezebox only on the music side.

The players that drop out are indeed in sync groups. 2 are SB Receivers,
1 is a radio. The controller isn't that big of a deal as I rarely use it
and it's not required for audio.

What's changed is that I've added a few new boxes to my setup (from
ebay) and started using it over amazon echos on a daily basis.

Blue points us in a new direction. what direction should I look?

I'll take a look. Any idea what logging I should enable? There's nothing
that stands out.. at the moment.

The server is a Win 10 box with firewall disabled and is wired gigabit
connection.

The devices come back online when I restart them but it looks like over
the course of the day they "drop" and never re-associate.

I can ping the players and the ping responds.

Is there something more I can do to check the connections?

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Players disconnecting but online

2021-03-22 Thread FredFredrickson


I didn't know where to post this- I'm having issues with *some* but not
all of my players dropping off LMS on a semi-regular basis. Sometimes
it's a Radio or Controller, they show a BLUE wifi icon. Sometimes It's
my recievers that show a DIM WHITE icon.

At first I thought it might be signal but I have a fairly decent
wireless router- and something I noticed, they appear online to my
router, they have a DHCP lease, and they respond to PINGS, but LMS
doesn't pick them up until I reboot them.

Any ideas where to look?

According to LMS they're all in the 95-100% signal range (when they're
there).

I snooped around in the dev console in chrome, but it needs to be POST
not GET? I'm not sure how to send POST with a scheduled task.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Scheduling Automated Events / Settings Changes

2021-03-21 Thread FredFredrickson


I am attempting to automate a few things which I'm finding relatively
difficult and I'm wondering if anybody has any ideas. I'm open to even
using a third party (like IFTTT or even windows task scheduler to hit a
url) but I would like to set each of my players to specific volumes at
certain times of the day. 

Right now I can set one player's volume at alarm time- but the synced
players don't seem to be affected by it. And I can only set one volume
for all alarms.

Is there a way to automate: 

* the sync and unsync of players at specific times
* The volume of players at specific times

Does anybody have experience with dbpoweramp's PerfectTunes? Does it
automatically "fix" tags for large libraries or is it all manual review?

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Problems with Split Artists / Albums

2020-01-30 Thread FredFredrickson


I know this issue comes up a lot- but I swear I've scoured the forum and
can't find threads on it...

I recently had to reinstall LMS, which rebuilt my music database from
scratch, and I'm having split artists that didn't exist before. 

9 out of 10 songs will be on one album, the 10th will be on a new
identical album. With the exact same name, capitalization and
spelling...

The other problem is that I have multiple artists with different
capitalization. Which is very frustrating.

A third problem which I understand the cause of is some artists with
"The" in their name are showing up as multiple artists:
The Stills
Stills, The

I know the best solution is to "fix" my tags but with many thousands of
songs it's a big task...

Is there a way to fix the capitalization splits.. and how do I fix these
albums split on seemingly nothing (see attached):
