Re: [slim] Squeezeplay Odd Behavior
Hmmm, Based on your description, I'm assuming that this 'temporary' folder is not underneath your LMS music directory. That would have been my first thought. But doesn't sound applicable to your setting. My second thought is that these stray songs are referenced in some playlist that LMS is seeing. Is there perhaps a playlist connected with one of these albums referencing these mp3 samples. Only the playlist would need to be seen by LMS, even if songs are outside LMS directory. But even here I'm confused as to why the LMS web interface doesn't show these (and only squeezeplay does). *Location 1:* VortexBox 4TB (2.2) LMS 7.8 Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VBA 3TB (2.2) LMS 7.8 Touch Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) LMS 7.8 SqueezePlay *Spares:* VBA 4TB, SB3, Touch (3), Radio (3), CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone4S iPad2 (iPeng7 Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Tagging - mp3tag, Streaming - Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101341 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Squeezeplay Odd Behavior
Interesting. I do not often use playlists. I went to My Music, Playlists and there was a category-Recently Added. It had the files I was seeing plus a whole lot more that were not appearing that way. It did not however contain everything I have recently added. Something is triggering that behavior but I have no clue. I the went to the Web interface and deleted that category. I closed and reopened Squeezeplay and they are still there. Perhaps a Clear Library and Rescan Everything is necessary to completely delete them. dasmueller's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38035 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101341 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I'd go to the LMS playlist directory, delete any stray playlists, the do a clear and rescan. I wonder if some of these stray playlists were caused by iTunes.

[slim] Roll Your Own Squeezebox transport and/or server using a Wandboard
Whilst CSOS is based on Fedora and does all that's required, I prefer to
roll my own using Arch Linux - the principle reason being that Arch
Linux is a pretty lean OS, meaning its less resource intensive and runs
noticeably faster than CSOS. The downside is you need to put in the
effort to roll your own so to speak. You can configure the Wandboard
to simply act as a transport or alternatively you can configure the
Wandboard as a standalone Logitechmediaserver and Squeezebox transport.
To turn the Wandboard into a Squeezebox transport and/or player both
CSOS and this RYO solution leverage an application called Squeezelite.
I'm going to post the guide in parts to deal with different aspects of
rolling your own transport/server so please bear with me because some of
it is a work in progress. There's enough in the first post to turn a
Wandboard into a fully functional Squeezebox transport.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
- Wandboard Dual or Quad
- 8GB micro SD card -- get as quick a card as you can as its speed
affects bootup time and load time of anything not in RAM.
- Micro SD card reader/ writer to write the OS image to your micro SD
card
- if you want to configure your Wandboard from your regular PC / Laptop
you'll need to connect the Wandboard to your home network
- a SSH client to login to the Wandboard from your desktop/laptop. If
using Linux, use ssh. If Windows, install and use putty
- a DAC that has an asynchronous USB input
INSTALLATION:
The first thing you need to do is install Arch Linux to a micro SD card
(8GB minimum). I highly recommend that you ensure the microSD is
high-speed. To prepare the microSD and install Arch Linux '*CLICK
HERE*' (http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/freescale/wandboard)
then click on the installation tab and follow the instructions. Before
rebooting your Wandboard, connect it to your home network and your ADSL
Router's DHCP (or whatever DHCP server you're using) will assign the
Wandboard an IP on reboot.
When you're done with that you have a working Arch Linux install on your
Wandboard. All that remains now is updating OS components, customising
a few things and finally installing and configuring Squeezelite and
optionally Logitechmediaserver (should you want to use your Wandboard as
a standlone transport with HDD attached).
DETERMINE THE WANDBOARD'S IP USING YOUR DHCP SERVER OR USE NMAP IF
RUNNING *NIX[/B] (REPLACE 192.168.168 WITH THE SUBNET YOU'RE USING):
Code:
nmap -sP 192.168.168.0/24
The Wandboard is the device named 'alarm'.
LOGIN USING SSH [USERNAME = ROOT; PASSWORD = ROOT] (WINDOWS USERS
USE PUTTY):
Code:
ssh root@wandboardIP
UPDATE OS, CHANGE HOSTNAME AND INSTALL AUDIO COMPONENTS:
Code:
pacman -Syu
hostnamectl set-hostname SqueezeWand
pacman -Sy faad2 libmad mpg123 libao alsa-utils avahi wget
CONFIGURE ALSA - ASOUND.CONF FILE:
Code:
nano /etc/asound.conf
Paste in the following:
Code:

}
pcm.dmixer {

}
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
ctl.softvol {
type hw
card 0
}
ctl.dmixer {

}
INSTALL SQUEEZELITE:
Code:
mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
cd /usr/local/bin
wget -O squeezelite
http://squeezelite-downloads.googlecode.com/git/squeezelite-armv6hf
chmod a+x squeezelite
CONFIGURE ARCH TO FIRE UP SQUEEZELITE ON STARTUP:
Code:
nano /etc/systemd/system/squeezelite.service
Paste in the following:
Code:
[Unit]
Description=Squeezelite lightweight headless squeezebox emulator
After=sound.target
Requires=avahi-daemon.service
After=network.target
After=avahi-daemon.service
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/squeezelite -n SqueezeWand
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
CONFIGURE ARCH TO AUTOSTART SQUEEZELITE AND AVAHI-DAEMON ON BOOT:
Code:
systemctl enable squeezelite avahi-daemon
Connect the Wandboard to your DAC using a suitably insulated USB cable
and ensure your DAC is powered up.
NOW REBOOT:
Code:
reboot
Following reboot your Logitechmediaserver should have a SqueezeWand
entry in its players list (refresh your LMS

For your personal preferences it may not be any better than playlists of stations, which you are obviously used to (and I find completely alien). That is, as long as the stations keep playing without interruption. The clearest difference will be the cases when the station is dropping out. As a playlist, it skips to the next item on the current playlist, as you've found. If it's a Favorite, then the station is the only item on the current playlist (think right side of the web interface).
