TEN's backend should deal with repetition within the same ongoing mix, but I've added some code to even try not to repeat tracks you've been playing _outside_ a mix. Also, what does the setting of 0 do? It still seems to stop tracks being repeated in a mix, or am I wrong? That's handled by the API.

Or is it streaming Lossy 320 then because I do not use the desktop? How can I check this (besides with my ears)? Check the context menu on the currently playing title. It should tell you.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Qobuz.com streaming plugin
If sorting playlists in alphabetical order is not a problem, then I must be doing something wrong in the way I organize artists and their albums in Qobuz, because I assume there must be a way to see them sorted (artist - album would be nice) on the SQB also. My playlists are sorted by name, as they already are when returned from the Qobuz server. I can add a sort routine just to sort it one more time. But in my (admittedly limited) testing I already got the lists sorted from the backend. And I still don't understand what you're after: why don't you add artists and albums to your favorites? A playlist has no notion of album or artist. It has a name. That's basically it. Only when you load the playlist you would get the tracks. But these can be from x artists and y albums. -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Qobuz.com streaming plugin
It's driving me crazy because I feel it must be something small, and I feel like a moron. Thank you for your patience. Don't feel stupid. Sometimes things don't work as expected (nor as documented :-)). I never bothered sorting those lists, as they came as I expected them: in alphabetical order. Why this isn't the case for you, I don't know. But it's easy to add sorting. Will do this (actually already did earlier today when I tested this). I searched for artists on Qobuz, selected the albums and made a playlist for each album. Each playlist has the name of the artist and the name of the album. I did this around 150 times now. So I have 150 playlists. In Why didn't you just click the little star or heart button to mark those albums as favorites? Wouldn't this be easier than dealing with playlists you have to name etc.? Qobuz I select to sort the playlists in alphabetical order (sort by name). Then it took 2-3 days for LMS to synchronize and sort the list by name. When it happened, I was happy but puzzled. Why after 2-3 days? The caching currently is set to 5 minutes. When I added a playlist today in the Qobuz Desktop, it soon showed up on my SB, too. It shouldn't take days. Next time this happens you could try the following: - check Settings/Information for the location of your cache folder - shut down LMS - delete the qobuz.db from that folder - restart LMS - get your lists again If they're still not sorted, then it's an issue in Qobuz' database or API. You could also enable debugging for plugin.qobuz. This would show you whether data is pulled out of the cache, or requested from Qobuz. I did this, and when I open favorites on the SQBT, the albums are presented in order of putting them into the list. So not by name. Please see the printscreen: [image: http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/8063/vzon.png] The list in LMS is the same is on the SQBT. This will be a mess when I add another 500 artists and albums. So when they are not put in alphabetical order, it is impossible to find the artist/album on the SQBT with using the way you suggested? Or maybe I am still doing something wrong. Ok, I see: favorites aren't sorted. Playlist aren't either. It would still be simpler to use favorites to create a non-sorted list than to create playlists in an randomly sorted list :-). Just kidding. I'm going to add sorting for the two. Please let me know if you'd see other candidates which might profit from a bit of re-ordering. -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Qobuz.com streaming plugin
Yes, that would be much easier :) But only when the list of artists is sorted on name on the SQBT :) Will sort that list as well. The newly added album in Qobuz is presented within 5 minutes in the LMS list of playlists, but then the playlist in LMS does not sort it on name. The sorting in LMS takes several days. Then it's an issue on Qobuz end. I did this, (several times), even shutting down the NAS with LMS. But it did not speed up the sorting proces. Did you do the deletion of qobuz.db part as well? That's crucial. Restarting doesn't change anything if the data is kept in a disk file. But again: if you did then this would tell us again that Qobuz is taking days for the sorting, not the plugin. -- -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I thought this Squeezebox thing was able to fix my issue with the streaming! and to my my gripe even more-so, I am a subscribed listener!!. Ok, here's the latest state of the RadioIO app: it works, though limited. RadioIO seems to have totally changed the infrastructure, streams, API etc. We'll have to be patient to get some of the features back, while others will never make it back. Here's what we have today: - Station list should be back (and improved) - Streaming AAC/64kbps should be working - Subscription users should be able to use their streams What won't come back: - mp3 streaming: RadioIO decided to no longer support mp3. This means you won't be able to listen to their streams on our older players (boom, classic, transporter, duet) when connected to mysb.com directly.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Smart Mix plugin
This was working fine previously, but I've been having problems the past
3 days.
I will get the problem even if I use local music sources
The recipe is:

Neil Young
],
song_type: [
acoustic
],
type: artist,
bucket: [
id:rhapsody-US,
tracks,
id:CAIXPLB1431AC7A479

}
This is a very specific recipe. It results in only a few tracks if I run
it in the Blender (60 tracks). There are only so many acoustic songs by
Neil Young. Once you've played them, the plugin will reject the tracks,
as, well, you've just played them.
Change the do not repeat duration in the plugin's settings to avoid
this, or use a more generic recipe.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Qobuz.com streaming plugin
On the PC it takes only a few seconds to display all albums from an artist, compared to the 30 seconds on the RPI. That's bad news, as it means that the RPI isn't up to the task of parsing large XML data in a timely manner. Qobuz' responses come with a lot of metadata we don't actually need. While this comes in handy if you need it, it results in large XML structures which are heavy to deal with. I'll see whether there's anything I can do about this. However, on the same RPI, there is no slowness with the Deezer plugin. Only the Qobuz plugin is very slow. For Deezer mysb.com is doing the heavy lifting. LMS only receives the ready made menu data. But as Qobuz is 3rd party, there's no central server doing this work for the RPi. -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

1.87 - improve Artist/Albums browse behaviour. I didn't implement the specific artist search yet.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Qobuz.com streaming plugin
It seems that the maximum number of album returned by default is 25. By setting the limit parameter , it s possible to increase it. I've already done that. But that's not the problem: the search most likely would include various artists albums on which the artist shows up, while in the artist query only albums where he is the album artist are listed. Or something along these lines. There is now 66 albums for Frank Zappa. The search would return many more iirc. But in most cases this probably doesn't really matter. -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Iplayer not working/ Slimnas problem on Freenas
I'm sorry I can't work out how to check the DNS on the server, can you point me in the right direction please? I can't find it on the Freenas GUI. My router says DNS is automatic from ISP. There's a well known issue with FreeNAS and DHCP where it wouldn't set the correct gateway or DNS address automatically. I don't remember where exactly you'll find those settings in the web UI. Just browse the FreeNAS settings and look out for IP v4 configuration. DNS or gateway would be empty or invalid.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Qobuz.com streaming plugin
Since Qobuz is now available in Germany I started to play around with it over Christmas. I first installed the plugin on my Pi and also found it very sluggish - taking about half a minute to load the playlist of a productive arstist, like described above. Ouch... shame on me! I installed the plugin on my Pi to run a few tests. And indeed it was very slow. It's not the network. It's not the parsing of the bulk of data. It's a _debug_ statement causing the delay! Then I copied the plugin and pref-file to my SB-touch and started tinySB and guess what? It's fast and responsive, loading the nearly 200 Albums you get, when you search for Bob Dylan within a second (you can't scroll fast enough in iPeng to generate a stall). So the problem an the Pi can't be CPU-power alone, The difference between the Touch built-in server and a regular LMS is that all debug login is disabled from the ground up on Touch. In regular use it's up to the developer to check whether debugging is enabled or not. Which I did not do in this case. After fixing this browsing albums lists of eg. ABBA or Elvis (which you can imagine are long) are almost instant. Thanks for bringing up this issue!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Qobuz.com streaming plugin
My favorites - Albums - Albumname. (in alphabetical order) Before the Update: My favorites - Albums - (ArtistName, Albumname). (in alphabetical order) This must be the change from a few weeks ago: favorites are no longer in one flat list, but grouped by type of favorite (fav. artist, fav. album etc.)? Before was perfect! The New is unhandy. Now I have to remember the name of the album to find what I want to hear, and before I had to remember the name of the Artist and then find the Album, which is much easier. Hmm... isn't this the way it's working now? So now with the new release there is no such alphabetical list?:(Artistname, Albumname) Also when I use My favorites - Artists - Only 4 Artist names (of of approx 200) show up. Where are the other 196? (I can see the in my favorites - albums) It's my understanding that only artists explicitly flagged favorites are showin in that list, but not all artists who have an favorite album.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Qobuz.com streaming plugin
Guys can I just confirm something please? So I was able to use Spotify on my Touch via mysqueezebox.com and as such didn't need a server, my server broke so this was the only way I listened to music until I switched to Qobuz, I don't seem to be able to work this via mysqueezebox.com and have to have my mrs' laptop on to act as a server. Is this correct or am I doing something wrong? Thanks. That's correct, as mysb.com doesn't support any 3rd party extensions. Some users have had success installing the plugin on the touch directly. But that's nothing for the faint hearted and requires some command line work. I don't know the current state of Squeezeplug: that was supposed to be an easy to be installed LMS for Pi and others.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Smart Mix plugin
Michael- any possibility Smart Mix could support Qobuz streaming? I did indeed investigate some time in this topic. As I've mentioned before, only the currently supported services work reliably, because they are available from TEN directly. Any other service such like Qobuz or WiMP I'd have to write some custom code to do the matching of search results to actual tracks on those services. Unfortunately Qobuz' search sucks big time imho. Eg. search for ABBA, and you'd find that pretty well known band on rank 17(!). Gli Abba at the top. For whatever reason. This inability to return accurate results in a meaningful way makes it almost impossible to do successful matching of mix results with Qobuz tracks. Add to this the fact that Qobuz isn't officially available in my country, and I therefore only get very few playable tracks anyway... I've opened a ticket with Qobuz re. improvements of their search as well as re. providing some cross-service IDs (eg. musicbrainz).

Just tried the new searching algorithm, it worked one time but on two other tests the squeezebox server stopped answering (for any request or menu option had to stop it and launch it again) (Running it on Synology NAS DSM 4.3 in version 7.8) What kind of CPU is this NAS using? I think the sorting is a bit expensive. It might cause players to time out on slower servers. I'll probably add some filtering before the sorting to speed things up. Another option would be to use a faster implementation. Alas, that would require binaries for every platform I'd want to support...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Qobuz.com streaming plugin
Sorry to complain, but could you put in a little on/off switch for now? My Raspberry Pi is taking a long time searching now, and the results don't really seem any better than before, just different, so I'd like to turn the new algorithm off for now to make Qobuz more useable... I'm sorry to hear that. I think it's most effective if you enter precise search terms (eg. full artist name). I've been thinking about a switch myself, as I'm currently playing with much more aggressive filtering, which could potentially not please everybody. Here's the question: if you search for abba, are you expecting to find all tracks by this artist when drilling down Search/Tracks? Or would you be happy to go Search/Artists/Abba/Tracks instead? The search results as returned by Qobuz would do the first: return all artists with abba in the name (from abba (karaoke tribute band, as made famous by ABBA) to yabba!), as well as all albums and all tracks by these artists. Obviously it's not all of them but currently 200 of each. That's 600 items when doing a simple search. Sorting them is expensive. My next approach would be to filter out stuff which doesn't match in the name/title. Eg. abba would only show tracks with abba in the title, but not all tracks by that group. This can considerably cut down the amount of data before sorting. As filtering is cheaper/faster than sorting, this not only cleans up the final list, but speeds up things as well.

Ok, next try. v1.111 comes with tweaks for both performance and quality of the search results. Plus an option to turn the magic off to maximize speed on slow servers. In many cases you should get a much shorter list of results. But please note that if you want to find all tracks by artist ABBA, you'll have to search for the artist, then drill down to his tracks. Searching for tracks with the keyword ABBA will only return tracks with that term in the title. -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
