Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Using Sox to parametrically equalizing I'm losing seek functionality. Could it work?
I've now updated my custom-convert file, checked the server logs once more, and it's all good. No more "rejecting" this line or that, just "found command" and "matched", and the tokenized command on seeking within a track now reads: Code: Tokenized command: "/usr/share/squeezeboxserver/Bin/x86_64-linux/flac" -dcs --skip=0:28.86 -- "/home/michael/Music/Library/Rock & pop/Richman, Jonathan/1985 - Rockin' and romance/03 - Richman, Jonathan - Down in Bermuda.flac" | "/usr/share/squeezeboxserver/Bin/x86_64-linux/sox" -D -q -t wav - -t flac -C 0 -b 24 - equalizer 40.8 5q -11.4 equalizer 62.8 2.487q -11.3 equalizer 87.7 5q -3.2 equalizer 263 5q -7.4 & | Once again, thank you both. Like I said, I feel privileged to have had the support of two such knowledgeable forum members. Incidentally, you'll see that I've left in the "-C 0" option for now because, having gone through the documentation once more, I couldn't find any mention of it in the SoX or the FLAC manuals; does either of you know what "-C 0" actually does?

IIRC most squeezelite and I think Touch & radio come under "squeezeplay" - so basing decision on model type is not good as you can't distinguish between a player with a high end DAC vs a low END Over time more parameter such as %p & %n have been added so that scripts can take more tailored actions. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112497 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Code: C, compression FACTOR The compression factor for variably compressing output file formats. If this option is not given then a default compression factor will apply. The compression factor is interpreted differently for different compressing file formats.

In sox help after typing "sox -h" Code: -C | --compression FACTOR Compression factor for output format The use of compression level 0 is so that processor uses the least CPU intensive compression as LMS used to run on small ARM processors (e.g. Cisco NSLU2) - compression could kill the system. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112497 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

For future reference. Black magic indeed. Each little bit you learn only gives you a better idea of how much you don't yet know. Suppose, for future reference, one wanted to use convert-conf to transcode (and equalize) not only local files but also remote MP3 streams. That would require capability R, but how would one integrate that, for instance, with the two lines that work for transcoding local MP3s?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Only new playlists work, after a rescan they appear empty
Some further information to add, though apologies if this is should be posted in the 3rd Party Software thread. On my piCoreplayer setup, I have carried out a little housekeeping with my playlists and set up a playlist folder within the main 'music' folder. Previously they were separate within the music folder. After a full clear and re-scan the playlists were showing as empty. Added a new playlist to see if I'd set up the path correctly and it was found and populated so all ok so far. Did a clear and rescan and the new playlist now showed as empty. Uninstalled PlayHLS and did a clear and rescan and all playlists showing as populated. Repeated this a couple times to be sure but can now confirm that unmodified PlayHLS 2.7 does affect piCoreplayer. Though why it didn't when my playlists were 'loose' I have no idea. I don't know how to go poking around under the hood of piCoreplayer to install BPA's patch to see if that resolves the issue but wanted to flag this new information.

Quote here but I wanted to say, if you use squeezelite, on whatever platform, you can decide an arbitrary MAC address with the -m switch. That allows for pretty specific custom-convert.conf instructions on a per player basis.

From there we can work it out, I hope. Great. Sounds like a plan. What I'd like to do is see how far we can take custom-convert (for equalization, room correction, or personal preference, to compensate for room boundaries when positioning speakers, or even just to add reverb to every file played back through LMS if that's what it takes to bring down Babylon), then document what we've learned and post that either here or in a separate thread.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Best way to powerdown Allo player
Hello, In fact I have to remember why my first and main question : How to stop LMS and why ? > Because it needs to be properly closed before shut-down. (That's not a problem with Squeezelite which runs on RAM). And before that, it's because we decided to shutdown the system by its main PSU button. So, we just need to close properly LMS before cutting the PSU. The way you suggest using a shortcut to main LMS page is ok. Of course, a button on a screen in order to stop directly and properly LMS will be better, but I understand not so easy.

If the same command works for both local and remote - you can have F & R on the same line - look at the lines which use wmadec assuming it is R type and not an I type you really want.
