Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Migrate 7.9 -> 8.2: CUE Sheets now fail to scan
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 * -- {} +

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 , composer etc. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115952 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Migrate 7.9 -> 8.2: CUE Sheets now fail to scan
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 ... ? michael.schefczyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=72573 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115952 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

A search took me to 'this page' (https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?topic=59787.0), which is 14 years old. But it agrees with the metaflac man page in suggesting that this command might do the job: Code: metaflac[.exe] --remove --block-type=CUESHEET LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS. Mostly virtual players, occasionally with SB Radio, Boom or Classic.

Again, thank you very much! Getting the metadata set up as expected, does not seem to be something simple for the general user. I did install MusicBrianz Picard, which does seem to to a better job than the older version of Kid3 in the Debian buster repo, but I still see the same error messages (file is uploaded for information).

Again, thank you very much! Getting the metadata set up as expected, does not seem to be something simple for the general user. I did install MusicBrianz Picard, which does seem to to a better job than the older version of Kid3 in the Debian buster repo, but I still see the same error messages (file is uploaded for information). If someone can point me towards how to change the metadata efficiently, that would be very welcome. Otherwise, it might be time for me to retire my three squeezebox players and switch to more trivial UPnP media players (such as Technisat stuff). michael.schefczyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=72573 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115952 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Migrate 7.9 -> 8.2
I hoped that some CUE sheet expert would chime in... but your thread title probably is a bit too generic and not relevant to the problem... So what I've found in your file is that it comes with an embedded CUE sheet. Alas, it's very incomplete: Code: "FILE \"/Users/mh/SynologyDrive/Squeezebox/Test Files/FLAC with failing CUE (8.3)/Michael Schefczyk - Disc 1 - 01 - Overture.flac\" FLAC\n", " TRACK 01 AUDIO\n", "INDEX 00 18816\n", " TRACK 02 AUDIO\n", "INDEX 00 6554436\n", " TRACK 03 AUDIO\n", "INDEX 00 21504336\n", " TRACK 04 AUDIO\n", "INDEX 00 27648936\n", " TRACK 05 AUDIO\n", "INDEX 00 33540696\n", " TRACK 06 AUDIO\n", "INDEX 00 47479236\n", " TRACK 07 AUDIO\n", "INDEX 00 55675956\n", " TRACK 08 AUDIO\n", "INDEX 00 62190996\n", " TRACK 09 AUDIO\n", "INDEX 00 73714620\n", " TRACK 10 AUDIO\n", "INDEX 00 83866440\n", " TRACK 11 AUDIO\n", "INDEX 00 96755400\n", " TRACK 12 AUDIO\n", "INDEX 00 115910676\n", " TRACK 13 AUDIO\n", "INDEX 00 123944520\n", "REM END 148.2", It seems to come with information for 13 tracks, but no usable metadata. Now you might wonder why this wasn't a problem before. Somewhere along the LMS 8.x development the CUE sheet was updated to be more reliable. This also meant that it became more strict. Invalid/incomplete CUE sheets like yours now throw errors. Your best bet is to try to get rid of all these CUE sheets.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Migrate 7.9 -> 8.2
Thank you very much! I did upload the file shown in the logs for testing purposes. Before doing so, I did confirm that the issue does occur with multiple (the vast majority, probably all, but I am not certain about that) files where I did edit the tags with this package of kid3: https://packages.debian.org/buster/kid3 Otherwise, I found no issues at all with the tags: Slimserver up to 7.9, kodi, VLC, Sony Walkman, other android all seem to be fine with this. michael.schefczyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=72573 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115952 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
