All genres are now selected, which could not be accomplished through the
browser interface. I'll check to see if they remain checked, following
subsequent rescans.

Thanks for your help, Michael.

The scan doesn't care about that setting. But you should see in the

I enabled telnet and logged in and executed this command. Is what it
returned, what would be expected?

Do I understand that now, all genres are selected, and will remain
selected as new genres are added and automatically selected during the

That's brilliant @kidstypike - I actually have something similar - when
I was running a hi-fi shop (and used to write music reviews for a local
lifestyle & fashion magazine) and I had music recommendations from
people I would 'tag' the genre with their name (as well as all the usual
'standard' genres) so I could do the same to quickly create (on the fly)
a play list (by genre) of albums or such they had recommended. But
hadn't thought of doing it for my fiancée...

You can also do it using curl from the command line, which will run from
a bash script for automation:


Code:

curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d 
'{"id":1,"method":"slim.request","params":[ "0", ["randomplaygenreselectall", 
"1"] ]}' localhost:9000/jsonrpc.js

The CLI documentation is available from LMS Help pages (bottom left in 
the default skin).


You can run a request using eg. Curl:

curl -X POST -d 
'{"id":0,"params":["00:04:20...",["randomplaygenreselectall", 
1]],"method":"slim.request"}' http://localhost:9000/jsonrpc.js

I'll try issuing the CLI command and see how that works for me. After

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Random Songs is only getting tracks from a tiny subset of library

2020-01-06 Thread jstraw


Here's what I learned this morning, when my 6:00 AM alarm triggered a
new "Random songs", replacing the "Random songs" that had been playing
through the night.

The overnight rescan created a small addition to the library. It was one
compilation album that contained four genres. The alarm-triggered
"Random songs" only played this one new addition to the library. Upon
investigation, I found that in  My Music>Random mix, only the genres
contained in the compilation were checked.

Scrolling to the bottom of the genre list and clicking "Select All",
then selecting "Select None", then starting a new "Random songs"
playlist fixes the problem. This, to me confirms that having no genres
checked allows "Random Mix" to use all genres. The null set is not the
same as checking a blank check box or the "No genre" check box.

I can use this information to manually correct the problem after each
instance of new music being added to the library during a rescan. It
would be better to find a way for brand new genres (yes, there are now
3,983 genres) not to be automatically checked on the list. That would
eliminate the issue entirely.

Is there a setting that I'm not finding that I can change so that new
genres aren't checked on the "Random Mix" list?

No, I don't have it installed and based upon this description: -"you get
a focused dynamically generated playlist which isn't random at all but
instead is based on what you have been playing"-, I wouldn't be
interested. What I want, is my entire library, randomized. I am closer
to figuring this out. See my next post.

On DSTM generally - do you also have LastMix installed ? With this
installed you get a focused dynamically generated playlist which isn't
random at all but instead is based on what you have been playing.

A while ago Michael added something to the Random Mix code to enable a
sort of Genre based radio

I have the following favourite (amongst other similar ones) as a Random
Seed

randomplay://track?genres=Jazz=1

which combined with the following settings in Random Mix

28923

creates a 5 track random Jazz playlist from my local Library

After the 5 tracks have completed LastMix/DSTM takes over and generates
a continuing Jazz based playlist from a combination of my local Library
and Qobuz/Tidal/Spotify

DSTM settings are

28924

LastMix works really well and doesn't require any set up apart from
simply being installed.

Michael, I'm not sure that it does, at  least not visually. 
First picture, DSTM is set to "Song Mix"
Second picture, Single track playing, "Song Mix" added by DSTM.

So, the default "Song mix" that appears in DSTM is distinct from any
choice available in "Random Mix". I'd like to know more about DSTM's
unique "Song mix".


The default Song Mix DSTM item would reset the genre selection to all 
genres before playing a mix.

So your favourite "Random Songs" in DSTM is just a link to Home/My

you're seeing a difference.

Right, all your favorites should show up there, if that option is
checked in settings. I have Random Songs saved as a favorite.

Thanks, Michael. I'm not sure how this sorted itself out, but it did. If
there is a recurrence of this issue, I'lltry deleting that prefs file. 

The mention of DSTM was that in DSTM there are two, similar-looking
options; "Random songs" and "Song mix". While Random Songs was broken,
"Song Mix" in DSTM worked to properly (apparently) use tracks from all
genres. So I could trigger a true random mix by choosing that DSTM
option, selecting a track to play manually, and then let DSTM take over.
If I chose the "Random songs" option in DSTM, it would play only tracks
from the small subset of the library.

I would be interested to understand the distinction between the two DSTM
options...but it's an academic interest, not a practical one.

I think you mentioned DSTM at some point. There's an option to have DSTM 
play random tracks based on the currently playing tracks. This would 
indeed trigger Random Play with a sub-set of genres. I thought I did 
this without changing the active selection. But tbh. I'm not sure any

I would suppose "No genre" means the album/tracks have no genre tag.

Unless last night's rescan put the genre count over some limit, it's a

Files can come from all over the place with variable tagging and people
don't pay much attention to genres.

I make no claims for my sanity. I also didn't tag the files. It was
never an issue before this morning.

How on Earth can one sane person have 3,979 genres? I wouldn't have
thought it was humanly possible. :D

Thanks. There are 3,979 genres. Basically, none are checked. I never
unchecked them, or had to check them before. Is there a way I can tell
it to use all 3,979 of them without manually checking them? Why should
this have occurred?

What do you have selected in Random Mix genres?

Another data point:

When I go to the player's settings for "Don't Stop The Music" and change
it from Random Songs to Song Mix, DSTM works properly. I don't
understand the difference between these two options, and I have no way
of selecting the latter from the Random Mix menu under My Music.

Also, I have a 6:00AM alarm that plays random songs. All through the
night last night, random songs was fine. This behavior began when it
kicked in a new random songs playlist when the alarm triggered it (the
purpose is a change from 66% volume to 100% volume).

I went and selected an album to play and the "Don't Stop The Music"
random playlist that followed it exhibits the same bad behavior.

I use random song mix about 99% of the time. This isn't trivial for me.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Random Songs is only getting tracks from a tiny subset of library

2020-01-04 Thread jstraw


I've never seen this behavior before. I have a large library. Random
Songs is only getting tracks from a tiny subset of them. It looks like
just the most recent New Music is included. That's unclear because this
past week I set up a new server and scanned in the whole library without
the use of any previous databases. 

It was fine till this morning, when this started happening. I looked at
last night's rescan for new and changed files and it looks like it ran
fine.

Any ideas?
