[SlimDevices: Plugins] Browsing from Sonos and streaming to Roon Ready Devices

2022-02-18 Thread Nikhil
With the UPnPBridge, CastBridge and AirPlay Bridge, I am able to use LMS to stream to most devices at home. Thanks Philippe and everyone else who supports this wonderful community. As the title suggests, I have 2 questions: 1) I can stream to Sonos using both the UPnPBridge and the AirPlay

Hi, I have used this plugin in the past and my Win10 PC running Foobar2000 would show as a Squeezebox player under LMS. However, now it is no longer showing and I'm not sure why? It shows as a Upnp player under J. River, but not LMS. LMS does show other Upnp players though (Sonos and Yamaha

With respect this discussion should move to the MAI thread. Material just displays what MAI gives it but bear this in mind - the number of name variations in classical music is enormous. Even if MAI could cope with Composer in the way that you ask you would have to ensure that your tags matched

The reason you have a problem with Spotty and MAI is that Spotty groups all the artists together which doesn't correspond with All Music. Albums are hard to identify as many have the same names. Steve The Groundsman wrote: > I listen to a fair amount of classical music but my circumstances

Hi Ziggy. I'm a bit confused by your message. Why are you syncing your Home with your Squeezebox? Does LMS run your Home if it is not synced to your Squeezebox (i.e. as a stand alone independent player)? Take care of your tongue. It is in a wet place and can easily slip. Lounge: Naim NDX

I listen to a fair amount of classical music but my circumstances might not be typical and almost certainly not the same as the person making the original request. The tags of my local files are not very good and mostly I listen via Michael's Spotty plugin. In both my cases the MAI plugin

The problem with the suggestion, as I see is, is that if the Composer field were used for MAI then the biography material for the actual performers would presumably not be seen. I have to include the Composer as part of the artist info so that I can see all. Unfortunately tagging classical

Apesbrain has asked, in a private message, if Material could show composer info, and not artist, info for Classical music. This seems like a reasonable request, but I'm not 100% sure. Material has a (server side) setting to list a set of genres where Material should display the composer tag.
