What if I am using only one LMS player feeding to both Z1 & Z2 of the
amp? Both zones are receiving the same signal simultaneously. I will
have a play with it all as suggested.

At the risk of being redundant...

Running with the Zone 2 LMS player output level set to 100% does not
mean that you lose the ability to set the Zone 2 AVR volume from your
LMS client app. And it has absolutely no effect on your main zone
settings. On the contrary, it will allow you to do EXACTLY what you are
trying to do. Just set the Zone 2 player output level to 100% in LMS,
define your Zone 2 Quick Select to set the initial Zone 2 preamp volume
when it is powered on, and use your client app from wherever you are,
whether it's on the porch, at the neighbor's house, or anywhere else in
range of your wifi router, to control every aspect of the player,
including the volume. It's a no-brainer, and is the way the plugin was
meant to work. I am still waiting for someone to present me with a valid
scenario that would require, or even make sense for, running the plugin
with variable LMS player output. I'm starting to understand why Peter's
Denon plugin requires that it to be set to 100% or it won't even start
up. I blame much of the confusion regarding this issue on the wording of
the LMS player menu option description, which is unclear and prone to
misinterpretation. Anyway, give it a try and keep enjoying your

So under the covers the Denon is using a 0-99 scale too. But this
setting in the plugin tells us how far up that scale we can go. For
example if you selected 0 as your maximum then the Denon will reject any
volume command smaller (more volume).

Here is the scale: :00 to 99 , 80=0dB, 99=---(MIN) 

So the settings in the plugin does not change anything in the Denon or
LMS player, it just lets us know how big of a volume your Denon is
willing to accept. So we use this to set the range of the LMS player so
100% of the player equals the largest level your Denon will accept.  You
can actually enter a lower value than what you set in the Denon and we
would therefore never reach that level of volume. But if you went the
other way then any level in the LMS player that would exceed the Denon's
setting would be rejected. In essence that would mean a great deal of
the range of your LMS players volume adjustment would not be used and
the rest would cause a larger change than is ideal.

Anyway a bit confusing, but the good news is that once you figure out
the formula you only need to enter it one time, unless you change this
value on your Denon.

Originally I did not think there was a way to ask the Denon for this
setting as there are no commands to do so. But in preparing for the 4.2
ability to adjust the channel volumes it turns out the Denon gives me
back this setting as a bonus.  So it is highly probable I will be
removing this setting in the plugin in the future. Stand by.

Hi David. I have a request for you. After you install the 4.1 beta, set
the 'Player->Audio-Volume Control' to fixed at 100% for your Zone 2
player and do some testing with your client app of all the scenarios
that you are concerned about. After that, come back here and report what
specific problems you encounter. I am seeing too many theoretical
objections to using 100% fixed output based on misconceptions about what
it does. We need to get back to solving real-world problems on this
forum and not hypothetical ones. Thanks for your past cooperation and
support in beta testing. Your input is appreciated.

This is where I feel that you and others have a misunderstanding of what
happens when you use the 100% fixed output level player audio setting.
With this setting, you have full control of the AVR volume using
whatever LMS client app you use, from 'mute' up to the maximum level you
specify in the plugin settings menu. There is no downside to doing this.
Please try it and then tell me what problems, if any, it causes for you

If you set the output level to fixed at 100%, you will never have to

Now that's an interesting and sensible question -- a rare occurrence
here as of late. ;-)  I can see the usefulness of being able to do what
you are asking and, in theory, it should be possible to implement it by
supporting changing the AVR zone in the plugin on the fly, possibly
through the DenonAvpAvrControl settings menu that is supported by
clients such as Squeezer, SqueezeCtrl and iPeng. Of course, only one
zone could be actively under control of the plugin at a time and
switching from one to another would require some thought about issues
such as whether to power off the old zone before switching, etc.
Overall, I like the idea and will talk to Chris about adding it to the
list of future enhancements. 

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you are enjoying the plugin.

(Eternal caveat: I've never used the Denon AVP Control plugin, having
written my own back when I used direct RS232 control.)

Max volume: my plugin asks about a max Denon volume in dB. My
expectation is that you'd set that to match the volume limit set on the
amp. I forget where it is in the Denon setup screens, but you can set
the max volume to one of a few specific values, ranging from -20 dB to
+18 dB. The minimum volume is -81 dB.

When you change the Squeezebox volume, my plugin calculates the nearest
half-decibel (or, for secondary zones, full decibel since half decibels
AFAICT are not availble except in the main zone). Set the SB volume to
"27" with my plugin thinking +18 is the max volume and plugin calculates
the amp volume should be (-81 + ((27/100)*(81 +18))) = -54 dB. If my
plugin thought the amp max volume was 0 dB, then SB 27 would be Denon
-59 dB. You might be able to do something like what you suggest by
configuring the amplifier to allow +18 but telling my plugin its max
volume is 0 dB, so that LMS would never set the Denon above 0 dB but you
could turn the amp knob or use a Denon remote to go louder. But there
are some conditions under which my plugin will resync the volume (for
instance, if set to poll the amplifier, when it sees the amp power
status change from off to on, it will set the amp volume to match the
Squeezebox [because any volume commands attempted while the amp was off
would have been rejected**), and if you had manually increased the amp
volume above 0 dB, my plugin would decrease the amp volume back to 0 dB
in those scenarios. Also decreasing the Squeezebox volume by even 1 of
the 100 steps when the amp was set signficantly higher than 0 dB would
lead to a significant drop in the Denon volume. So I would not recommend
that. Also my plugin refuses to control an AVR unless the Squeezebox
audio output is fixed at 100%.

On my setup, I have a modfied version of Michael Herger's MusicInfoScr
set to display volume on my SB3 in terms of Denon dBs instead of SB
0-100. My whole family is now quite comfortable thinking in decibels.
;-) That will only work right if my plugin knows the actual amp max
volume, as it translates the fictional Squeezebox volume into what it
thinks the amp volume should be; if the amp allows volume +18 dB but my
plugin thinks it maxes out at 0 dB, then it would show 0 dB on the SB
screen for everything from 0 dB to +18 dB.

** FWIW Yamaha's YNCA TCP protocol also rejects things like volume
changes when the AVR is in standby.

It's a different approach.
What I had in mind was: do post-scan refresh unless post-scan refresh
already happened in the last 30 seconds. Users can see the results of
the refresh/import very quickly and won't get confused or think the
ratings import failed. ('code'
(https://github.com/AF-1/lms-ratingslight/blob/main/RatingsLight/Plugin.pm#L1259))

I like the timer solution because it's safe: however many calls happen
within any subsequent 30 secs window it will only take the last one.
Only downside is the final delay of 30 seconds + execution time before
the refresh results are available to the users.
Hard to choose.

Material already marks parts of its 'history' as needing to be
refreshed. e.g. if a user was looking at the contents of a playlist, and
the queue was saved as a playlist, when navigating back out of the
playlist the list of playlists is refreshed (so that the newly saved
playlist is shown). So, code is there to handle it, I'd just need to
know that pressing item X in a list will imply the list itself needs to
be refreshed when reloaded (i.e. go back).

As I mentioned a few postings up, this indeed is broken in Spotty (or 
rather: not implemented). There's no refresh.


Would you have the refresh implemented if the data requested it?

2021-05-19 Thread Michael Herger

Anyway, since it only affects the -post-scan refresh- I'll try a
workaround and add a dedicated post-scan function that calls the refresh
function unless it's been done in the last 30 seconds or so.


What I sometimes do in such situations is to 
Slim::Utils::Timers::setTimer(), and first thing the handler would do 
_before_ setting the timer, is to kill any current timer for the 
respective function. That would make sure we only run once in the given 
delay.

Very easy. Starting the program at startup with Task Scheduler and
ticking the "Hidden" check-box.

Even if one of the 2 messages/rescan done events is due to the external
scanner crashing I'm guessing I can't get to the root of what's causing
this. I mean what more can I do than a new install, disabling all
plugins but the test plugin and then do a rescan. I think the 2 rescan
done events even happen if there are no tracks in the library (when LMS
starts for the first time).

Anyway, since it only affects the -post-scan refresh- I'll try a
workaround and add a dedicated post-scan function that calls the refresh
function unless it's been done in the last 30 seconds or so.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Q] Delete Tidal albums from library?

2021-05-19 Thread thniels


Erghh, I simply hadn't noticed that when using the "Add
Track/Album/Artist to Library", the album would be added to the Tidal
collection online :rolleyes:. This is as close to an actual epiphany I
will get this week, I think :o.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Q] Delete Tidal albums from library?

2021-05-19 Thread Michael Herger

I have quite a few albums in my library that were added through OMLI.
Among these are some inadvertent duplicates and at least one album that
was added [horribly :)] before the contributor normalization method. I
presume I can only delete these directly from the database and have a
fairly good fix on which tables to update. However, I need to be sure
that I am not missing a simpler method or a best practice. I wouldn't
want to orphan anyone.


Once you remove them from your TIDAL collection they should disappear 
from your library, too. Worst case run a full wipe & rescan.

I'm using on my Denon not the dB scale, but the 0-98 scale.
So the 27 is then i think 27% and -53db ?

I understand the 100% fixed outpout, but somhow i want also control the
volume a little bit with LMS.
Therefor i try to achieve a level of 80% of LMS to tweak the volume a
little bit remotly.  If i want to get volume very high i will walk to
the Amp to control the volume.

My question is maybe not clear explained by me.
The question was if it is possible to change the maximum volume field in
to % instead of the dB scale ?
This will not change the functionality of the setting, but makes it
easier to setup or control. Maybe not so easy to change :rolleyes:

The attached log does not contain all of the response. If you look in
your browser's console tab you will see they end with "..." - clicking
that should expand to show all contents. I'm hoping in the search
response it details what to do when back is pressed. Can you post the
