Michael,

Thanks for that.  But no ports open through my router, and the log
showed nothing untoward.

OMG, it was that simple!  Jeez I feel dumb! :-(  I don't 'play with' LMS
– it just runs for years without problems, so when it does go 'wrong'
I've forgotten how I set it up in the first place.

Many thanks, and especially for including the instructions on how to
'recover' my interface.  Much appreciated, and all's well with the world
again! :-)

I am just starting to have a look at this and I don't seem to have 
/etc/asound.conf
Did you create it?

If you're open to leveraging more of MusicBrainz' tagging:

https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Release_Group/Type


I agree there's no universal standard for music metadata but I think
that an effort should be made to overcome this in order to enhance the
user experience provided by LMS.  Would it not be worth thinking through
what's missing from the data model that would enable LMS to provide a
great experience, adding support for those missing datapoints and
publishing them so that users can add them to their music, or map them 
to the data model if they already have relevant tags parading under
another tag name?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Browse Albumartist albums by Album type

2022-12-04 Thread Michael Herger

Is is possible to browse albums by album type rather than have the lot
appear as a mixed bag?


No, that's not supported (except for the compilations). I don't know 
about a standard tag to define the type of an album.

The LMS interface in your screenshot*__is__*the "Classic" interface. The
interface with the "Settings" bottom right is "Default"
