Thanks for the replies.  I have been working through that page and still
not getting the result I would like.  For simplicity, I only want a
"Works by Composer" menu under Custom Browse with results in alpha
order.  If I understand how this works, it's not necessary to split my
library into "Classical/Non-Classical" if I enable the "Limit upper
levels to those with existing lower levels" switch.  Only my classical
files have the WORK tag.  Getting that new menu to populate with data
has been touch and go.  It only worked once, and then I changed
something and lost it.  My template is below.  If you see anything that
I've done wrong, please let me know.


Code:


  
  
  -
  
  -
  customscan_mixedtags
  
  -
  Works by Composer

>From xiph.org:

SEEKTABLE: This is an optional block for storing seek points. It is
possible to seek to any given sample in a FLAC stream without a seek
table, but the delay can be unpredictable since the bitrate may vary
widely within a stream. By adding seek points to a stream, this delay
can be significantly reduced. 

Does not seem a likely cause of your issue.

True, but not the cause of OP's original issue. Nor is the difference in
volume level OP found is a solution. SB3 is able to play gapless MP3.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS does not see some flac files

2018-06-25 Thread Apesbrain


But didn't OP say the problem remained even when the .dot was replaced?

Let me try one more idea: is it possible the missing tracks are there
but under a different artist/album?  Have you loaded the files into a
tag editor (e.g. Mp3tag) to see if there are any inconsistent tags
stopping these files from sorting together?

Then again, since they all came from Audacity's "Export Multiple" they
should have inherited everything but TRACKNUMBER and TITLE tags from the
original file.  Can you explain in more detail that initial "splitting"
step in Audacity?  I've done this many times when recording vinyl and
not had any issues.

Another thing I'd do is load the "invisible" files into foobar2000 (or
equivalent) and verify their integrity.  I don't see any mention in your
posts that these files work as expected in another player, although I
assume you've checked that.

All of this looks good.  When you finished splitting all necessary
tracks, did you then load the entire album in order into your tag editor
and auto-number the tracks and generate new filenames?  Might not seem
necessary, but can't hurt.

If facing this issue and nothing else working, I'd load all the tracks
into foobar2000 and generate new, clean FLAC (default compression 5). 
Lastly, if still a problem I'd strip the files of all tags, rescan, and
play via LMS "Music Folder" just to be sure all tracks play in the
desired order.  If so, I'd manually re-enter the tags and try a final
rescan.

Are you running a "Clear library and rescan everything" rescan? Or,
change the folder name slightly if doing a "New/changed" rescan. I've
seen LMS get confused overwriting updated tags when doing a
"New/changed" rescan and end up with some tag fields having multiple
values.

Forgive me if you've done all this.  I'm just going through the things
I'd try if I had no idea how else to solve this problem!  If LMS is not
indexing some of your files, it has to be related to filename or tags. 
There isn't much else.

OK, there is something else: in LMS "Settings" go to "Advanced" >
"Performance" and set "Maximum Playlist Length" to 0.  Also, look at the
"Filter" options on the "My Music" tab and see if they make sense.  You
might post a screenshot of these two tabs so others can offer
suggestions.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] I inadvertently broke MP3 playback...

2018-07-17 Thread Apesbrain


I downloaded a Springsteen concert in MP3 and it played gapless in
foobar2000, but there were gaps playing back on my Touch.  Ok,
downloaded the show again in FLAC and converted to LAME 320 myself: same
result.  Did some further research and found that any MP3 files sampled
at 48kHz no longer play on my Squeezeboxes.  Upgraded
\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\ from LAME 3.99.5 to 3.100: no
difference.  Updated to current LMS 7.9.2: no difference.

Then I remembered that some weeks ago I had changed "Audio Startup Time"
(Settings > Player > Audio) from zero to 0.5 sec. because some first
tracks when the Touch woke up my amplifier were getting the first few
notes cut off.  This might be the first MP3 live show I've played since
then.  Reset this value to zero and everything is well again.

Lesson learned: if you adjust this setting, you very well might break
gapless MP3 (and maybe 48k support, too).

Yes, this sometimes happens depending on which tags you change.  A way
to avoid it is to re-save ALL of the files from that album in Mp3tag:
open all files in folder, make your edits, then highlight all files and
save.  A "New/Changed" rescan will then re-index them all and you
shouldn't get two albums.

Interesting, all our "dirty little secrets" are coming out.  I never use

Things I'd try:

1. If your Squeezeboxes are connected via wifi, try another wifi
channel: 1, 6, or 11
2. Via your router, assign a reserved IP to your NAS
3. Unplug everything and, starting with router, power each device up
until it is fully started.  Work your way "outward", e.g. after the
router is stable, start the NAS and once stable, start each Squeezebox.

Is it possible you have another media server running on your NAS and it
is fighting with LMS for port 9000?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Installing PiCorePlayer & Squeebox

There is no such thing as "installing Squeezebox".  You download LMS
from 'here' (http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/index.php?ver=7.9)
and install it on your PC.  Point it to your music library and let it
index.  That's it.  If you want your server PC to also be a player, you
install the "Local Player" plugin.  If you have problems, post to the
"Logitech Media Server" forum.

Once the server is running, you configure your RPi/piCorePlayer to use
this instance of LMS as its server.

If you continue to have problems specific to MySqueezebox, try going to
www.mysqueezebox.com and confirm that your login credentials work.

Indeed it is, sorry; it's just that your problem has nothing to do with
"PiCorePlayer" nor "Squeebox", but I think you know that now.  The
advice you have gotten to install latest LMS 7.9.x is good advice; it
may just eliminate your error message.  Please do this first, then
report results back here.  Once LMS is running on your PC, getting music
to play at your RPi will not be a problem.

Ok, it's taken a lot to piece it all together as English is not OP's
native language and everyone has been a bit punchy, but I think we now
have the complete picture:

OP is running LMS on a Windows PC. He is trying to play via a Raspberry
Pi 3 running piCorePlayer 5 and JiveLite. The screens he's posted are
from the latter. He says he successfully hears analog output from the
Pi, but has not been able to play through to his Topping DAC via USB.
He's configured pCP to output via USB.

Any suggestions on ALSA settings he might try?

OP: On the PC you are using to run LMS open a browser and go to:

You might try using NSSM to run Squeezelite as a service, if
Squeezelite-X is not working for you.

The only complexity about it is that you need to specify the audio
output device number in your startup parameters. There must be an
explanatory thread on here. I'll try to find it.

Ok, if this works for you and you have a lot of mid/low-bitrate MP3
there is in fact a way to do it without transcoding.  You have to
disable native hardware MP3 playback and convert all MP3 to FLAC on the
server.  However, for 320kbps MP3 transcoding has very little audible
effect.

Just confirming that this is the way mine is configured.  I also start

You might try it though.  Search here for other ideas.  People have had
success doing a thorough delete/reinstall of LMS, or deleting their

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] "Weird" LMS / / Touch / network / router problems

2020-07-03 Thread Apesbrain


I assume you've done a factory reset on the Touch?  See p.9:
https://www.logitech.com/assets/32039/squeezeboxtouch-qsg.pdf

Were you using the same ASUS router with your old configuration?  If
it's also new, it may have contemporary features that are interfering
with its legacy (802.11 b/g) support.  The Touch and Radio are (g)
devices.  You might check the router's compatibility mode and also try
disabling the 5G radio. You might also try a factory reset on the
router, update to latest firmware, and disable any proprietary
functionality, e.g. AiRadar, AiCloud, AiProtection.

If wired is not a convenient option, you might try Powerline adapters
but for many they seem to bring their own set of issues.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Squeezebox Radio and Google WiFi Mesh dropping connection

Unfortunately, the Google Wifi router offers little in the way of user
configuration:
https://support.google.com/googlenest/thread/4120014

Any major-brand N150/N300 router should work fine.  My Radios have
connected without issue to models from Netgear, Buffalo, and D-Link. 
ASUS has also gotten good reviews. I'd stay away from "mesh" routers as
it seems they don't play well with the Radio.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] I Finallly resolved my issues I think !

2020-07-22 Thread Apesbrain


Not sure why deleting your Squeezebox folder and reinstalling would
solve your problem, but glad it did.  BTW, if you really want to nuke
your Squeezebox installation, you also have to delete the hidden folder
located here: C:\PROGRAMDATA\SQUEEZEBOX\  => Note that this is a last
resort as it also removes all of your settings.

I hope it sticks, but I have a feeling your original issue was not
really solved.  Almost always such symptoms are related to network
issues.  Have you recently changed internet providers, routers, or
router settings?  Have you moved your residence or relocated any of your
equipment?  Did you get a new neighbor (whose wifi might be interfering
with your own)?

Port opening on "Home Network" is what you want; you don't want LMS
accessible from the internet or you'll get hacked.

Easiest way to rewrite all LMS port rules is to just reinstall LMS. 
Install it into same location on PC and all settings will be
maintained.

Latest stable version is here:

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Help with Wav Files

2020-09-27 Thread Apesbrain


My guess is that whatever program you used to create the WAV files has
written the tags in a format that LMS does not completely understand. 
This is not uncommon for WAV files as there is no real standard for WAV
tags.  LMS will read "RIFF" tags written into WAV files.  You should be
able to fix this using Mp3tag (https://www.mp3tag.de/en/).  Open a
folder of your WAV files into Mp3tag, verify tags, and save the files. 
This should write the aforementioned tag format.  Run a "clear and
rescan" library rebuild in LMS to confirm.  If it works, do the same
with your remaining WAV files.

Another option is to convert the WAV files to FLAC or ALAC both of which
have native tag support readable by LMS.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS has begun "chirping" at me

2020-12-16 Thread Apesbrain


First thing in the morning, or when my Touch has been unused for a
while, the first thing I play is preceded by a short "chirp" of
uncorrelated music.  At least that's what I think I hear: more like a
split second of music vs. some kind of random noise.  Happens on both
local file playback and internet radio.

I've experimented with "Power On Resume" options and various values of
"Audio Startup Time" with no improvement.  It's very difficult to test
because it's intermittent.  What I can say for sure is that this has not
always happened.  I tried going from LMS 8.0.1 back to LMS 7.9.4 and it
made no difference.  (I might try 8.1.)

Is there something in logging that I can enable to try to catch some
evidence of this?  Thanks.

The default LMS configuration sends FLAC and MP3 (and a few other

Just set your sleep timeout to some duration that is longer than you'll
ever listen at one sitting.

Or, leave your laptop on and set the screen to time off if it bothers
you.  Energy cost will be about $4.50/month.

Or as said above, abandon the laptop and run LMS on a Raspberry Pi 4
which will cost about $0.45/month.

Just cancel the scan.  Set the target folders.  Then start a "Clear

If your music is in many disparate folders you can point LMS to a new
folder containing shortcuts to the individual music folders.  LMS will
follow the shortcuts.
