Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spicefly SugarCube - DSTM and Google Traffic
I do use Trackstat, but for filtering by playcount rather than rating - I've never managed to get my head around rating my music, and it seems a bit late to start with nearly 60,000 tracks! The play count filter still seems to work just fine with SugarCube, but I have recently decided to uninstall other plugins by Erland (CustomScan and CustomBrowse) as they seemed to be working less reliably in the very latest versions of LMS - I'm on the nightly betas, so currently 8.3.0. With SugarCube in such heavy use, I was finding I directly browse through my library so much less anyway, so didn't really need the extra views that these plugins presented, and the library function of CustomBrowse that I used for separating out our children's music was replaced by the native Additional Browse Modes in any case. goharbourview123's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23031 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112703 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

What a great end-of-the-week treat! Will try it out right away (I'm
using OpenHAB, but basically same usage as with Home Assistant).
So great to be part of this little (?) community of SugarCube users.
BTW: Are you using it with Trackstat? To me the ratings are an important
part of my recipes, but I'm not sure how long Trackstat will remain
functional since it is no longer maintained. There is an alternative
("Ratings light") which seems to be future proof, but which I haven't
looked closer at because it doesn't help me with SugarCube. I wonder
whether there is a chance that SugarCube will become compatible with the
new plugin?

You can launch a Sugarcube mix with the following: http://:9000/plugins/SugarCube/settings/quickplay.html?player= You should already see this as a menu item somewhere in LMS as 'SugarCube Automix', but the URL works fine when called from outside LMS - I use it in Home Assistant for example to use a voice command to start a SugarCube mix on a given player. Hope this helps. goharbourview123's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23031 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112703 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spicefly SugarCube - DSTM and Google Traffic
I have been using Sugarcube for over 10 years now and it is probably the main reason (together with Trackstat) why I have not followed the trend of abandoning my own music collection for some streaming service, so thank you for maintaining this awesome plugin! My partner and I are again and again amazed by the the excellent play-sequences it creates. Of course, Trackstat also plays an important role in that (and it did take a while until we had most of our tracks rated, but even in that process, Sugarcube helped by preferring unrated or not recently played songs). Anyway, I wanted to ask whether the Sugarcube Automix can be triggered via some URL. That would allow me to start it via my home automation system and/or Alexa. Alternatively, if I could achieve the same if I could save Autoplay as a Favourite or a Playlist. *Server*: LMS 8.1.1 on an Ubuntu 18.04 virtual machine *Players*: Radio, Touch, Duet (Receiver & Controller), 2 Booms *Remote control apps*: Material Skin (Web UI), but also SqueezePad (iOS), Squeezecontroller (Android) *Important plugins*: Trackstat, Spicefly Sugarcube, Lazy Search Music, Custom Browse, Multi Library chaug's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47641 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112703 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spicefly SugarCube - DSTM and Google Traffic
If you are creating filters using the Windows MIP version 1.96b then you can't copy that m3lib file to Linux and preserve the filters as far as I know, as the Windows version 1.96 had a difference cache structure to the Linux release. If you use the Windows MIP 1.8.1b version I understand it works ok, then just copying the m3lib file to Linux, you need to restart the service to re-read the file or refresh the cache by going to the host:10002 in a web browser and clicking the refresh cache button. The filters should then be exposed and visible in the LMS/SC Player page. You've probably already seen it but page here about filters, what kind of filters are you creating that are tied to paths? I've used them to group a number of genres together but these are then linked via the mp3 tags so not tied to a physical path. https://www.spicefly.com/article.php?page=musicip-filters Moods I have no idea unfortunately, I don't have much in the way of saved documentation and I never found any good detailed explanations of how they should work anywhere. If you need to step down from MIP 1.96b to 1.81b ensure you have a backup of the m3lib file (in case you need to go back again) and ensure you have also saved the tags into the music files (archive analysis setting in MIP) and check they are using mp3tag. MIP will need to rescan and read the fingerprints to build the m3lib file and if they are not saved in the music file it will have to rescan and re-fingerprint your collection from scratch which would suck www.spicefly.com - ** Spicefly SugarCube ** - A hassle free acoustic journey through your music library using MusicIP.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spicefly SugarCube - DSTM and Google Traffic
Thank you very much for making things a bit clearer. I cant wait to use this tool to rediscover neglected tracks. Another frustration is the inability to pass filters generated on a windows machine to headless MIP and LMS running on docker/Synolgy NAS. I have googled the subject extensively, but cant find a way to share/copy a meaningful autoload.m3lib. The music folder is prepared on the windows machine and is mirrored nightly to the Synolgy. I can use the local copy or a mounted NAS folder for MusicIP mixer on Windows but have no mechanism to deal with the drive letter and perhaps the back slashes in the Windows path. As an alternative, I can easily generate m3us with correct Unix paths from Mediamonkey. Is it possible to - 1) Exclude all tracks in an m3u from Sugarcube mixes guptaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21096 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112703 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
