Re: [slim] Tracks stop after 30 sec

2022-09-20 Thread garym


If the problem tracks sometimes work without problems, then I don't
think converting ALAC to ALAC will likely help.  Regarding how to do
that.  foobar2000 has converter, I use dbpoweramp for ripping converting
(but it is not free), there are dozens of other converters.  I haven't
used iTunes in years, but I think I recall that you could right click on
a file, then CONVERT it to another format. And that other format you
choose could be ALAC.

If it is only specific tracks, the first thing I'd do is convert these
into new files. I think they are LOSSLESS, so you can easily convert
from ALAC to ALAC using a digital music converter. You won't change the
audio stream at all, but maybe there is something odd in the tag or in
the file header that the player doesn't like.  Easy to do and would
potentially solve the problem. I've had purchased FLAC files before that
caused problems, and I just convert from FLAC to FLAC, and problem
solved.

But didn't you say that if you used LMS on your laptop instead with the
same files, they played to your TOUCH just fine?  If that's the case,

Re: [slim] iTunes Playlists readable by rPi Server

2022-09-19 Thread garym


shacky73 wrote: 
> How can I copy my iTunes playlists to my Pi server?

1. are the files that the itunes playlist reference on the music files
referenced by LMS on the rPi (attached drive or NAS)?
2. In iTunes, can you go to an existing playlist and save it as an
".m3u" file?  (This should be basically a text file).
3. If in 2. above you can save these files as *.m3u, then you simply
copy those .m3u files into the LMS playlist directory on your attached
drive or NAS (in LMS > Settings > Basic Settings, playlist folder
(in my case, this playlist folder is at:  /mnt/LMSfiles/music/playlist,
and that's a USB drive attached to my rPi that holds my music files and
my playlist files).

note, for 2 above, if the itunes playlists are of underlying music files
in a *different* location than where your rPi is looking, you'll have to
open these m3u files (text file recall) and do a find and replace to
change the file reference to the correct location.  Example, maybe on
itunes, the playlist reference was to:  

c:\music\Bob Dylan\Bringing it All Back Home\01 - Subterranean Homesick
Blues.flac

but for the rPi it needs to be:
/mnt/LMSfiles/music/Bob Dylan/Bringing it All Back Home/01 -
Subterranean Homesick Blues.flac
(where I've mounted the rPi attached USB drive with the name "LMSfiles"

Once you figure out the references above you can do a simple "find and
replace" in your m3u text files to fix this in a batch manner.  for
example:
Find:   c:\music\
Replace with:  /mnt/LMSfiles/music/

You may want to start a new thread for this question, with "iTunes

One reason is that ALAC files have no built in mechanism for determining
whether files have become corrupted. On the other hand, FLAC  files have
a built in check-sum, created and stored automatically when the FLAC
file was created.  Thus at anytime in the future one can run a batch
program (available in lots of places and programs, free and paid) on
their complete library, where each FLAC file is decoded, the decoded
checksum is compared to the original stored checksum, and if they are
identical, then we know the file hasn't been modified or corrupted.  
Every now and again, I run TEST CONVERSION in dbpoweramp on my 125,000
track library to make sure I have no corruption sneaking in.  And when I
create  a new backup disk of my files, I always do this check on the
newly copied files.  I click a couple of mouse clicks and let it run
overnight, and wake up to a report of any problem files.  To me this is
the key benefit of FLAC files versus other lossless file formats.

Do you particularly need Tidal Connect.  You can play TIDAL just fine
via LMS and the Transporter (just install the TIDAL plugin in LMS and
add the TIDAL app at mysqueezebox.com.  It is not 'connect' but it can
play anything from TIDAL and you'll see artist and track info on the
Transporter screen.

no knowledge of this item. Does it have an optical output you can
connect via cable to the Transporter.  I assume it does. From the
Transporter point of view, if the item produces an audio stream that
travels via that optical output to the Transporter input, it will work
fine.

You will not have quality loss. If you are feeding the Transporter 24/96
files via the optical input, it will play those 24/96 files without
downconverting them.

Yep, that's why I have about 9,000 albums, including most of Neil's and
Joni's. I love streaming for discovery, but anything I really like I
purchase either CD or a download file that I control.

I agree with regard to tests of equipment (DACs, amps, etc.). Very easy

I almost spit out my beer.  :p  You're correct.  I love Neil, have read
his books (and love the biography, Shakey), bought most of his music,
subscribe to his web archive, etc.  But I always complained to my also
big Neil fan friend that Neil was way off the mark on his explanation of
"lossy" music.  But Neil has me buying 24/192 versions of downloads from
his site.  (I'd prefer a 16/44.1 version, but its simply not available.)
Oh well. Gotta love Neil.

p.s. the "making of Barn" video, which recently was available free on
YouTube is really nice. Old friends making music in a cool place.

Looks like LMS 7.6 is when firmware 87 came in for the transporter. So
if you installed prior versions you'd get earlier firmware.  when you
click on the items in the link i provided for firmware, you see this
sort of info.

Not sure, but Transporter firmware hasn't changed in maybe 10 or 12
years. I can't recall which LMS/SbS version changed it.  But likely 6.x
or 5.x.  Over that time there's been lots of LMS versions.  See these

I'm very doubtful older firmware would help.  87 has been the firmware
for almost forever and I've not seen any problems posted for this by any
Transporter users.

2022-01-21 Thread garym


To be clear, it doesn't show as if playing, with song/stream under now
playing and you simply don't hear the audio. Instead it never shows the
playing item in its display.

try xlinx reset:
1. remove power to the transporter 
2. press the 1 (one) key on the remote
3. while pressing the one key, power the transporter back on.

you can release the one key when you see the display start up again. it
will be obvious.

the rPi3 with PiCorePlayer OS with squeezelite should boot and play
within a few seconds…maybe 30 seconds. So short I’ve not really timed
it. Perhaps in your setup, the rPi is trying to do something or load
something unnecessary and this is taking lots of extra time. Can you
look at the logs produced within PiCorePlayer to see if anything odd
shows up.

I’m still confused. The spotty plug-in within LMS or the official
spotify app on iPhones, which has nothing to do with LMS?  Respectfully,
I’m not sure you are clear on how this all works. With spotty app, I
have no issues playing spotify or my own music via LMS and my various
players. More detail needed.

Re: [slim] Coverart in Music Folder

2021-10-22 Thread garym


I know you want to use 'music folder', but have you tried using "New
Music" menu item under music library.  I also have a very meticulously
organized artist and album folder structure, but don't find any need to
use "music folder" browsing in LMS.  When I add new albums to my
library, they show up by most recently added within the "new music" menu
option.  Also, in LMS > Settings > My Music tab, I set the "new music"
limit to larger than my music collection (in my case I set it to
200,000) and this way when I look at new music item, I see my complete
collection, listed by date added from most recent to oldest.

This does seem to be a widespread problem.  I haven't suffered it (yet)
for my one radio that is on WIFI.  From everything I read, it seems to
be caused by nearby WIFI 6 routers (e.g., a neighbor).  I'm not a coder
so have no clue about the technical challenge, but it would be fantastic
to have something like the wlanpoke solution embedded in the community
firmware for the radio.

same for me with speakers. Hadn't thought about my TV.  It's the one of
the last high quality Plasma TVs made (65 inch panasonic with 3D) and
probably 9 years old.  Fingers crossed have had no issues.  Then again,
the power supply is built in rather than a power brick.  Speaking of

I am not an electronics repair person by any means. But the power supply
repair in that thread required me to unscrew a few screws to remove the
top of the case, then unplug the old power supply and plug the new one
in.  Then screw the case back on.   No soldering, no measuring anything
with a meter, nothing at all. Can you use a screwdriver is the only
issue. The replacement power supplies were dirt cheap. I think I ordered
4, as the shipping was the same and more expensive than the supply
itself.

also from that thread it looked like you could simply convert FLAC to

thanks Paul. I too use freefilesync to keep backups equivalent.  But,
not to be too confusing, I have essentially two chains of files.  When I
add new files, I add them separately to my office drive (copy/paste) and
then have a backup of the office drive using freefilesync.  Then at home
I have do the same (copy and paste new files) and then use freefilesync
to synchronize my home backups, my portable backup, etc.   The idea is
that my two "sets" of backups are not potentially contaminated with each
other.

dbpoweramp wouldn't do any repair.  But you may or may not need repair.
if the MD5 your command line is comparing is for the entire file (vs the
audio part of the file) then even an edit to the file metadata tag could
cause a mismatch. You should be sure to use a tool that compares the CRC
of the "audio only". I'm sure there are others besides dbpoweramp.

Great advice. Every so often, on one of my backup USB drives I'll run
TEST CONVERSION (dbpoweramp).  It takes a number of hours for about
116,000 files.  This attempts to decode each file to confirm it is still
ok.  And for the FLAC files, it compares the builtin CRC (audio only)
from the time of ripping to the calculated audio only CRC.  An even
better confirmation.

I set “COMPILATION =1” in file tag. I mostly leave ALBUM ARTIST blank.

yes, that's how the "material skin" controller works.  On the device, on
a webbrowser, enter:

but replace "192.168.1.100" with the IP address of the rPi itself.

I agree, use the DUET CONTROLLER, just choose the new player as the
player on the controller.  Or take an old smartphone connected to your
network via WIFI and use a smartphone app controller.  This could be as
simple as using "material skin" on the smart phone, or using a phone
specific app (for example, for my iphones, I use iPeng app).

No longer have any DUETs,** but still use a couple of DUET controllers.
My wife particularly likes the CONTROLLER.

Hi, I just tried that link and it played on my Transporter (running LMS
8.1.2 on rPi).  I did notice that everytime I stopped, then restarted
the station, it would show about 3 seconds of nothing, then start over
at 0.  But when it started over, it played fine and showed 128kbps AAC
stream.  It also showed the artist and song title as metadata.

I too see the large differences in speed with dbpa. Including with new

I use the app in my iphone, "relisten" for listing to live music archive
shows and it works well. So using the API must be possible.  (not that I

Re: [slim] Setting Up LMS On A Raspberry Pi 4B

2021-04-25 Thread garym


In my main listening system, it is a Stereo setup (two speakers only). 
I also have a TOUCH connected to my home cinema system and can play
music there. It is a 5.1 system, and uses left, right, center, two rear
speakers, and a subwoofer (but this is all because of the receiver and
has nothing to do with LMS).   Both systems sound good, but I prefer the
two speaker stereo system.

an app in LMS? An app for rPi?  Not sure what you're asking about, but

Exactly. I use dbpa for ripping and converting and build in adding
ReplayGain tags with the dbpa utility DSP.  4 tags are written:  Album
Gain, Track Gain, Album Peak, and Track Peak.  And LMS (and every other
program I use) uses these tags properly control inter-track volume.

You create a backup image using this piCoreplayer function (see

would then burn this image to an SD card if you ever need to recreate
your setup.

On the main tab, select this option.

Once on the backup page, you tell it where you want to save the image
file (#1), then you click SAVE (#2).  Note that I'm telling it to save
the file in an image subdirectory on the already attached USB drive that
holds my music.   Below that, it tells you the name it will give the
"image" file (#3)  Then you select "CREATE" to create the backup image

Re: [slim] Setting Up LMS On A Raspberry Pi 4B

2021-04-22 Thread garym


Great news. Enjoy.  Two reminders.  Because you're running LMS, you need
to do an "orderly" shutdown if you turn off the rPi (and keep in mind
that I keep mine on 24/7 for months at a time, but sometimes want to
shut down, remove the USB drive, and do some updating (because I don't
use SAMBA).  To do a proper shutdown, on the main piCorePlayer page,
click the shutdown button. When you are ready to restart rPi simply
apply power to the rPi to cause it to bootup (if you never unplugged it,
simply remove and reattach the powercord. See picture.

34314

Second, to make sure that LMS automatically starts when you reboot the
rPi, make sure you've set that option on the LMS tab.  See picture.

Image burner is a program (for burning images to an SD card of course). 
Like any program, once you download for use, you don't need to download
again.  For example, you don't download MicroSoft WORD everytime you
want to use the program.

reboot is a button on the piCorePlayer main webGUI screen (reboot is not
turning off the rPi).  You don't need to disconnect the USB drive to
reboot (or turn OFF the rPi).

Your screen shots are not attached.  I think you're issue is in the
mounting of the USB drive in piCorePlayer. But the screen shots showing
that mounting will be useful to diagnose.

p.s. You don't need new SD cards if you need to start over. You can
rewrite a new piCorePlayer image to the existing SD card with no
problem.

Brentano, you had PiCorePlayer installed and working before. It was only
the missing folders in LMS causing the problems. As others have said,
start over with a fresh install to the SD card. And go back and reread
the PMs I gave you on some of your setup questions.  But yes, first get
piCorePlayer installed and visible on your web browser using the R
rPi IP address, then we can help with next steps.

most of my replaygain tag additions happen when I rip my CDs with
dbpoweramp. As far as I know, it doesn't use the "peak" option either
(it doesn't show as an option).  I use foobar2000 to add RG tags post
rip if I need to (e.g., redoing a multidisk set to treat all of them as
a single album for purposes of RG).

foobar only added the true peak option recently. I've never had any
issues with about 130,000 files scanned WITHOUT the true peak option.

Re: [slim] Is it worth to upgrade for Rpi3 + Allo Digione?

2021-03-27 Thread garym


Improving upon the sound quality with that setup would be virtually
impossible.  I do like some of the features of piCorePlayer 7.0 (but
none of these have to do with sound quality).  And that's easy to update
to in any case with your current hardware.

That can't be the answer (unless you are applying permanent volume
leveling during the ripping processand that's definitely NOT
audiophile).  Different CDs can have very different loudness.  But if
you mostly listen to complete albums, then this is not an issue.  It's
the inter-album volume differences that can be annoying (or jarring) not
the intra-album track volume differences (as the latter is the way it
was designed to be played).

No, but I will check them out. The disconnect (in my feeble mind)

Love the "Average White Band".  Back in the early 1970s I saw Brian
Auger and the Oblivion Express in a relatively small club in Dallas,
Texas (fantastic by the way).  I was talking with one of the guys in the
band at a break,* and he told me that I just had to check out this band,
"Average White Band" and how good they were.  I did, and they were!

*It was that kind of small club.  For example, I saw Bruce Springsteen
and the E Street Band there in Spring 1974 (having no clue who they were
and only hearing a recommendation from a friend who had just seen them
in Austin, TX). Only about 50 people in the club, but Bruce and band
blew the roof off the place.  I talked with Garry Tallent (bass) during
the break having a drink at the bar. He was super nice and talkative
about places they'd been playing on the tour (this was behind the 2nd
album).
(yes, believe it or not, Bruce was playing like a bar banda set,
then a break, then another set.)
