Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Moving LMS to a new computer
Can I move my LMS to a new computer without having to scan my library again? It depends... but a new system would certainly need to be able to scan your library, wouldn't it? Why try to skip it initially? ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Installing LMS on my new DS420+
1. not all docker images are the same. I have played around quite a number of different images. The size of these images varies greatly from image to images. the official LMS community build is only 200 some Mbs. some others are as big as 900's mbs. What causes this differences in size? Various factors: the OS base image makes a big difference. Another important factor is additional libraries and helpers being installed. I know that some images come with features the official image doesn't have. Those come with some additional file size. 2. Most of the images do not support asian characters, including the official LMS build. Some showed scrambled characters, some showed phonetic form, while very few can display these asian characters Where would you see those characters? In the web UI? On a Controller/Touch/Radio? Or on a Classic/Transporter? 3. Do you have any idea whether picore player LMS supports asian characters or not? Please define "support". See above question: it's not clear what is not working. I have some Arabic in my collection, and that works fine using pCP to run LMS and the web UI, but it wouldn't render correctly in Squeezeplay (Touch, Radio). That's a limitation in those devices, not on the server. ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Logitech Media Server 8.2.0 released
I have logged the memory usage during the rescan under 8.2.1. The result
is roughly the same as in 7.9.3. Start at about 48%, up to 58%, then to
about 68% at the end and then it stops. The fact that the usage is 3-5 %
points higher may only have to do with the running performance monitor
or other background processes. The memory usage of 68% does not go down
after the abort. Scanner.log is identical to my first mail. According to
the log, the abort occurs at the completion of the 4th full-text index
(playlists).
One more check you could run: how much space is left on the device where
you have your LMS cache (see Settings/Information), and/or the system's
temporary folder ("ECHO %Temp%" in a command window)?

I just moved all my playlists out of the playlist-folder and then the rescan completed without any error. So there must have changed something concerning the handling of playlists? Some of them have many thousand titles. Thanks! I'll see whether I can find something.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] New LMS version notification shows commits vs changelog
The "all changes" and "More" links both link to the Commits timeline list which TBH I find quite hard to read. I'm sure these new version notifications used to display or link to the changelog which I found to give a much better idea of new features/bugfixes etc. and much easier to read - I eventually found it: You're probably right in that the current "changelog" implementation is more oriented towards the users of nightly builds, where more granularity would be expected. I'll think about how to change this. ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

I am using the transport. 1. not all docker images are the same. I have played around quite a number of different images. The size of these images varies greatly from image to images. the official LMS community build is only 200 some Mbs. some others are as big as 900's mbs. What causes this differences in size? 2. Most of the images do not support asian characters, including the official LMS build. Some showed scrambled characters, some showed phonetic form, while very few can display these asian characters correctly. There are two available images that support asian characters. They both are built based on the image originally created by larsks. Larsks original image is no longer available. Can the official images be built to include these supports? 3. Do you have any idea whether picore player LMS supports asian characters or not?

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Help request: LMS not starting up after reboot
Hi all, already for a long time I have the problem that my Logitech Media Server (often) doesn't startup after reboot. It is set to: "Automatically start server when system boots" I've tried it at "Automatically start server at login" with no different results. I'm running LMS 8.2 on a macMini running macOS 10.13.6. The problem also occurred with older versions like 7.8 and 7.9 as far as I remember. I've looked in the server logs but can't find anything (see pasted logs below). I've asked myself if maybe my startup time is too long and that therefore LMS misses it's chance to startup but the startup is not dramatically long. I would welcome some ideas. As a workaround solution I've wondered if there is a way to check if LMS is running and if not to start it through a script? I'm not experienced in scripting languages though.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Disconnecting players
After a lot of investigating and cross-testing, the issues are pinpointed as follows: - The root couse of the issue can be: * network issue * restart of the squeezeserver service. This is of course not strange. A network issue or a restart of the service leads to a disconnect. BUT imho the players should automatically reconnect after a small time. My SB radio's and software players do reconnect automatically. But the SB receivers and Boom don't. Only way to reconnect is a power-cycle by unplugging the power cable for some seconds. stephanvdplas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44861 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113698 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

But I haven't had any performance problems or stability issues so far. The music is stored on two external USB3 hard drives, each with 6TB capacity. And there are two of the same attached on my primary, current notebook that I use as backups (and the rest of my data).

Click here for further information. " Material then has just another link "More" linking to https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/commits/public/8.1 The Default skin gives a bit more of a clue of what's new with a rather cryptic list of the latest Commits: "Latest Changes (all changes) 2021-06-24 Improve architecture discovery for Apple Silicon based systems. 2021-05-30 Merge pull request #610 from philippe44/8.1-misc HTTP get metadata propagates current wmaMeta to other HTTP tracks HTTP get metadata propagates current wmaMeta to other HTTP tracks 2021-05-24 Merge pull request #608 from philippe44/boilter-plate-code-for-remote-header-parsing boiler plate code for remote header parsing 2021-05-21 do flac/flc before looking for parser!
