Ah, thanks. I did not see this because that menu option (Play album
starting at track) does not appear in Music Folder mode of browsing -
which I always use! 

Is there a reason why its not there?

I think browsing using Music Folder sorts tracks alphabetically by
filename which may not correspond to track order (depending on how the
files are named), so maybe that option would not always work well.

Hopefully this will be seen as a helpful suggestion - I used to use a
VPN connection to stream to my workplace, but had some significant
issues with it.

What I ended up doing was to make a tiny portable server with a
Raspberry Pi Nano version 2 and a 2Tb SSD drive, small, portable, and
can be used as a standalone device not needing to connect to a wifi
network (but of course it can do).

Another approach I've used, since I usually travel with my laptop, is to
have LMS on the laptop and just carry a portable hard drive copy of the
library.

Maybe not what you're asking, but... If you open an ssh connection to
the Pi, the df command will tell you the total, used, and available
space. https://linuxcommand.org/lc3_man_pages/df1.html
df -T will also tell you the file system type.

For example:

What format is the external drive? Is it USB connected to the Pi? Have
you installed additional file systems support on pCP?

I have several Raspberry Pi servers, two of which use EXT4 formatted USB
drives, and I can access them from my MacBook without problems using
Samba. I'm not really much of a Windows user these days.

I switched from Spotify to Qobuz last week as well. I used to justify
sticking with Spotify on the grounds that I buy a lot of music as
download, vinyl and occasionally CD and that in some way my contribution
to the artists I like made the low streaming payout from Spotify OK. But
the Rogan situation made it clear to me that Spotify is no longer a
music streaming platform. Still, better late than never. Enjoying Qobuz.
Nice to be using a streaming platform that also sells downloads.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Alternatives to spotify / spotty?

2022-01-29 Thread Grumpy Bob


I've been meaning to move from Spotify for some time now (the cash flow
issue*), and the latest rumpus has nudged me to start the process.

I have decided to give Qobuz a whirl (I already have an account for
buying downloads). I've transferred a few playlists and the albums in my
Spotify 'library' to Qobuz. Quite pleased so far. I don't really have
any interest in resolutions above red book standard, but all is good,
obviously there are albums on Spotify that aren't on Qobuz, but since my
primary music listening is done from my local library that doesn't
matter too much.

I can make the final decision whether or not to jump fully to Qobuz
sometime in February - I have a 1 month free trial of Qobuz which more
or less overlaps with my current month of Spotify Premium.

* To be honest, I am not too worried about how much of my Spotify
subscription has gone to artists because if I like something on Spotify,
I buy it as a download, on vinyl or (occasionally on CD). And I
contribute quite a lot to artists that way.

Could features  1 (multi-disc icon) and 3 (prompting whether to all all

one has LMS set to display multi-disc sets as multiple albums? That's my
preferred setting, and it makes feature 1 unnecessary, and feature 3 a
bit of a hindrance.

I think this merits a new thread - I am interested in views on this.

I use Spotify, largely to listen to music before I decide whether or not
to buy it (generally either download or vinyl, rarely CD). I think this
remunerates the artists better than Spotify plays alone.

I wouldn't choose Spotify over owning a collection, because online
services may turn out to be rather ephemeral. I also like to fine tune
tags to my preference.

I find out about new (to me) music to check out via several source -
magazines (Mojo for classic rock, Wire for the more experimental),
various websites and their mailings e.g. Bandcamp, recommendations from
various music stores, and of course the 'What am I listening to' thread
on these forums. Occasionally Spotify suggests something interesting to
me, but not often because I generally don't listen to Spotify-curated
playlists. I have in the past shared Spotify playlists with friends,
which is useful.

Just to note that I've not seen any disruption or lack of response with
my server (Pi4, pCP 7.0.1, LMS Version: 8.1.2 - 1622353561) with Spotty

pretty much the same as for local files, and navigating within the

I use two Raspberry Pi servers running the same version of LMS, and a
very similar set of plugins installed, including Material skin (version
2.4.1) and Music and Artist Information (version 1.7.1).

I've noticed one difference between the two servers in the MAI screen -
one includes a section of Similar Artists at the bottom of the Artist
Biography panel, and the other doesn't. I can't find a setting (or other
plugin) responsible for this information. Any advice? Ideally, I'd like
this on both servers.

I think that using commas would cause more problems. Either go with the
semicolon as separator or define a different separator - your example
being double backslash.

I use the semicolon to separate individual Album Artist tags, and it
works well for me.

started playing BBC Radio 4 (our usual alarm playlist, though not alarm
was set for that day) at 4.35am GMT. Might that be a consequence of
being notified of the availability of a firmware upgrade? Or might this
be one of these random reboots I've read about, but never experienced?

It wasn't a problem for me, I am usually awake and up and about well
before 5am, but my partner was a little surprised.

No, I haven't enabled internet access to my system! I do have the LMS
Community Firmware plugin installed.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] WaveInput plugin and Cirrus Logic (Wolfson) audio card

2021-02-12 Thread Grumpy Bob


Thanks all, for your replies. I will potter around with this over the
weekend.

Ronnie - yes I can investigate other operating systems, but my
preference would be to use pCP for consistency. I am reasonably familiar
with Linux, so should be OK.

Paul - yes, I'm aware of the need for a phono stage, and was thinking of
taking the audio output from the amp rather than directly from the
turntable. My current phono stage gas a USB out put for recording, e.g.
with Audacity, so another option might be to take output from there.
Perhaps a Pi Zero WH with direct USB input from the phono stage might
work better. I've also got a Behringer UFO-202 which might be helpful.

bpa - Thanks also for that hint. 

A weekend of tinkering awaits! (Assuming I'm not called on to pick up
some marking duties).

Best wishes,

Robert

[SlimDevices: Plugins] WaveInput plugin and Cirrus Logic (Wolfson) audio card

2021-02-12 Thread Grumpy Bob


One of my pCP players is a model 2 Raspberry Pi (no built-in wifi or
bluetooth). It has a Cirrus Logic (Wolfson) audio card fitted, which
works very well and I'm using this Pi to drive Bluetooth headphones via
a USB bluetooth stick. The other USB socket has the USB WiFi stick.

The Cirrus Logic has a line level audio input as well as a variety of
outputs, though I don't know how to access that input. Incidentally, I
am running pCP 6.1.0 on this Pi, because 7.0.0 doesn't seem to support
the Cirrus Logic card.

I've seen thread discussing how to use the WaveInput plugin to play
turntable music through LMS. I was wondering whether I would be able to
configure the Cirrus Logic card's audio input in a similar way, thereby
enabling the use of this Pi to hook up my bluetooth headphones to my
HiFi when playing vinyl my other half doesn't like! Any clues? or would
it be easier to buy a cheap BT device?

In the Online Music Integration plugin, there's a Library View option -
"Show only local album if you have another copy in your online music
collection". Sometimes the Spotify copy of an album has a slightly
different title which defeats it, but generally this works well.

Yes, they are also listed in the 'master' library list. The plugin is
doing exactly as expected except for the extra artists in the listing -
and when you click on one of those artists, no albums are listed. So I'm
pretty happy with the plugin!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] ANNOUNCE: Simple Library Views plugin

2020-11-09 Thread Grumpy Bob


I've just installed this plugin and implemented it with partial success.
I wanted to help my partner find her albums amidst my much larger
collection, and think that this plugin offers the simplest way of doing
this - and it is working -almost- perfectly.

I've defined a Library View with the name "Carol". I've tested the water
by dropping files entitled "simple-library-views-Carol" in a bunch of
folders corresponding to albums in her collection. Note I haven't used
inverted commas.

After a clear and rescan, it's worked perfectly if I look at Albums,
Random Albums and New Music, but not so well for the Artist and Album
Artist views, where about 350 extra artists are listed - this is far
from the complete album artist listing, so it seems to have partly
worked.

Any clues as to why this is happening?

Server is a Raspberry Pi 3B+ running pCP6.1.0 and LMS 8.0.0. I only have
a few plugins installed.

Best wishes,

Robert

Actually, I'm not suggesting Material is at fault here, just noting that

The multiple album-artists are listed when I click 'More' from the

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Material Skin

2020-10-09 Thread Grumpy Bob


First of all, many thanks for the Material skin - it adds a beautiful
and very professional interface to LMS.

I have a question relating to the display of Album Artist tags. The
particular example is that in my music library I have a number of albums
by what appears to be a rotating group of musicians - usually 3 or 4 on
the album (each track on the album has the same artists). To help with
navigating around these albums, I used multiple Album Artist tags by
entering the individual artists in the Album Artist field in my tagging
software, separated by semicolons. LMS recognises these, and in the
default LMS skin, presents the artists separated by commas, as seen
below.

31788

The neat thing is that clicking on one of those Album Artist fields
takes me to that artist, which helps in navigation.

The equivalent screen in Material only shows the first of these Album
Artists. Is there a way to change Material's behaviour to match how the
default LMS interface does it?

I think you are right, as I recall there was some discussion of the
wisdom if including LMS 8.0 as default in pCP as it's under such active
development. It's why I asked which version was being used.

I think that's an App you install via mysqueezebox.com - it would then

There's an item in the list of Plugins called "Plugins" - I think that

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Where'd my Settings tab go?

2020-06-07 Thread Grumpy Bob


In Server Settings, click Basic Settings (there's a downward pointing
arrowhead). You should get a drop down menu, in the Plugins section
there's an item, Plugins, which gives you access to Plugin management.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Why bother?

2020-04-19 Thread Grumpy Bob


When I tried out Volumio recently, I did like it, but I missed the
following:

Searching/browsing Album Artists.
Browsing by Random Album.
Integrated Spotify and local albums.
Observing the Compilation tag.
Volumio can't be set to ignore a leading article, meaning that a huge
number of artists are grouped under 'The'.
Being able to send music to devices with the SB Radio form factor. I
have two of those, on in the bedroom and one in the kitchen (yes, I have
only one HiFi, but there are other places to stream the music to).
etc

I loved the Volumio web interface and I was impressed by the move
towards developing hardware, but I noted the Volumio developers were
moving on to a poorer replacement web interface.

My brother has set up Volumio on a Raspberry Pi, but has problems with a
number of things such as album art. Actually helping him out was
interesting because he's on the other side of the world from me! He's
happy with it, and I can see (from personal experience) that Volumio is
reasonably easy to set up and use, but it's feature set doesn't fit my
needs.

I 'tried Volumio recently'

and it really doesn't compare favourably with LMS, at least for my use

multiple devices from SB3, Touch, SB Radios and Raspberry Pi based

Actually, if I can get the Squeezebox skill to work I'd be keen to keep
on with Mycroft for a bit. It's just that the majority of skills don't
really offer much of importance. The Squeezebox skill is exactly the
kind of thing that makes the voice control attractive to me. I'll see
how this plays out.

Amusingly, I have a tendency to say "thank you' to Mycroft after a query

I have to confess to being at a bit of a loss as to how to get the

I'm not keen on the Alexa or Google voice command thing, but this might
be fun to play with - just with a Pi3+ and a borrowed Jabra to provide
the audio input/output. It seems as though the Mycroft people do less

Until a couple of years ago, I was running LMS on a QNAP, but switched
to running LMS on a Raspberry Pi3 with the music files held on the QNAP.
Frankly, it's a lot less hassle to keep up to date. And I just picked up
the existence of the 'piCorePlayer help website'
(http://picoreplayer.sourceforge.net/main_getting_started.shtml) the
other day, which pretty much explains all you have to do. I leave the
QNAP and Pi running 24/7. Spotty works very well with the Pi.

Heh, for me minutes = a period of time less than an hour :)  The longest
single step is probably burning the image to the SD card. Configuring
the Pi uses a web interface and really is quick. The first scan of the
music files can take a while, depending on the size of your library.

But my point is that piCorePlayer is pretty robust and doesn't need much
attention once it's running - mine runs 24/7. Upgrading LMS is pretty
straightforward using a web interface, and hasn't caused any problems to
me so far. Definitely worth looking into piCorePlayer - there's a
lengthy thread in the Linux/Unix forum.

There's a bit of a difference between a major Linux system and a
Raspberry Pi used essentially for a single purpose. I use a Raspberry Pi
3 running LMS on piCorePlayer, connected to the router via cable, music
library on a NAS. Took minutes to set up and is very robust.

I can't play from Spotify either. I got a notice on the Spotify app on

Apologies for the lack of detail, I wasn't really logging this as an
issue, just saying thanks! The R3 Listen Again just never started
playing (I also tested R4 and R6, which did work). But as I say, it did
play this morning, so I presumed some change at the BBC. However the
listen again stream I use most frequently is R3, so could well be a
caching issue.

 connected to my stereo.  I also have three squeezeboxes around the
 house.  In a perfect world, I'd like the Ubuntu server to show up as
 another squeezebox on my Squeezebox app on my phone that could be synced
 up with all my other boxes.
 
 Thanks

I run LMS on a QNAP NAS in a separate room from my HiFi, to minimise the
sound of hard drives etc. It runs 24/7 and located is next to the
router, to which it is attached by ethernet cable. The headless player
of choice for me is a Raspberry Pi running pCorePlayer (which uses
Squeezelite), either with a HiFiBerry DAC (or similar) if connecting it
straight to the amplifier, or via USB to a separate DAC. I hook the
Rasperries up to LMS via WiFi, which in my house seems faultless. (I
also have an SB Touch and an SB3).
I use a Raspberry Pi with a headphone DAC as a separate headphone unit
when I don't want to fire up the HiFi (I am a bit of an insomniac and
frequently listen to music in the wee small hours). The advantage of
piCorePlayer is that it runs entirely from RAM once booted, so you can
turn it off by yanking the power cable.
I don't see why you couldn't set up squeezelite on the Ubuntu box.
I control the system wither via the LMS web app or one of the Android or
iOS apps.

 Thanks but that seems to be a player for osx - i am trying to control
 other players on the network from my mac, basically using it as a

SqueezePlay -does- work as a remote - go to Settings  Choose Player

Have to say I find the web interface the easiest way to control my
Squeezeboxes on my Mac.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announcing: LMS Remote Controller App for Mac OS X

2014-03-14 Thread Grumpy Bob

I'm having a play with LMS Remote, but having trouble getting it to see
the server - I have LMS password protected and I'm wondering whether
that is why...can't see an option to enter username and password.

 Could you try installing the latest 2.3.1 version - this should try to
 fall back to using libspotify10 which hopefully still works on these old
 NASs.  There will still be problems reported here for Synology users
 needing to copy the library file if it is not found directly.  But
 otherwise I hope it falls back to version 10 of the library which is the
 previous one which was working...

2.3.1 is working on my QNAP - many thanks!

 Are these NASs with the problem all arm or i386 architectures?  Can you
 look at the architecture string on the LMS Settings information page,
 what does it say at the top in the section Logitech Media Server
 Status for the following two entries: Platform architecture and Perl
 Version?  Could you post here?
 
 As an example, here's the two lines from a device I have a server
 running on:
 Platform Architecture: armv7l-linux
 Perl Version: 5.16.3 - arm-linux-thread-multi

My QNAP shows this:
Platform Architecture: i686-linux
Perl Version: 5.10.0 - i686-linux-thread-multi

But your revised 2.3.1 plugin seems to work just fine...

 You can manually install the old version from here:
 
 http://xdevtriodeplugins.xpdev-hosted.com/Spotify-linux-v2.2.17.zip
 
 You will need to manually extract it into the Plugins directory.

I have tried this  - uploaded the unzipped Spotify directory to the
Plugins folder and attempted to install via SSOTS. I get this error:

Importing Plugins from /share/Public/Plugins
Unexpected local arg: Spotify
If arg is a remote file/dir, prefix it with a colon (:).
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1964)
[Receiver=3.0.7]
Please restart SqueezeCenter

This doesn't mean much to me! Any advice, or should I be directly
uploading to an LMS Plugins folder?

 I have used bliss and for me it worked very well.

I use 2 x SBR and 1 x SB3, so had little real need for cover art. Then
I started using Squeezepad and wanted artwork!  I used Bliss, and it
worked really well - I embedded the artwork in the files.  Now I have a
3G iPad, I may try Bliss again to get higher res cover art!
