Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS players not discovered as DLNA renderers

2022-12-29 Thread Apesbrain


That plugin makes DLNA players visible to LMS, not the other way around.
If your "squeezelite instances" are in the form of piCorePlayer, I
think pCP can receive a bluetooth stream if so configured (and your
player hardware supports it):

I've found that several apps that ran under Win 7 require elevated
privileges on Win 10; EAC and CUERipper for instance.

My migration to Win 10 is pretty much complete, but not without
setbacks. Yesterday morning I wasted two hours trying to figure out why
I couldn't remote in using any of my available browsers. Finally, it
dawned on me to try port 9001. Yup, LMS had for some reason jumped
ports.

Thanks to all for the help and suggestions.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] How to move LMS to a new machine?

2022-11-10 Thread Apesbrain


Time has come for me to update from Win 7 x86 to Win 10 x64.  Going from
x86 to x64 I can't do an "upgrade" so it will be a clean install.  I
plan to image my existing Win 7 system onto a larger SSD leaving a
second partition for Win 10 to be set up in dual-boot.

As for LMS, I plan to:
1. Install LMS 8.3 under Win 10
2. Stop all LMS processes
3. Copy from Win 7 partition:
- The entire contents of my C:\PROGRAM FILES\SQUEEZEBOX folder
- Any %appdata% folders having to do with LMS or its plugins; currently
none
- Any %programdata% folders having to with LMS or its plugins; currently
INGUZEQ and SQUEEZEBOX
4. Reboot and perform a "clear and rebuild library" rescan.

Have I missed anything necessary to have my new installation of LMS
behave exactly like my old one?  Thanks.

The current LMS 8.3 beta has removed all boxes other than "Music":
http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/index.php?ver=8.3

I'm -not- suggesting that you update as you now have everything working
as you want.  I don't think there is any functional difference of matter
to you between 8.2 and the beta.  If you are going back to your "Win7
computer", though, I'd probably update.  Just download and install over
your current LMS.  If during the 8.3 install it throws an error, just
hit "Try again".  This happens sometimes.

Glad it worked out.

BTW, if you haven't already you should install the "Material Skin"
plugin.  It makes navigating by folder a lot easier for me.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] SBR without LMS

2022-09-17 Thread Apesbrain


In order to access "My Music", LMS needs to be running somewhere on your
LAN.  Can you install it on another PC where you've mapped a drive to
your NAS music folder?  Other people having a NAS have used a Raspberry
Pi as their server.  piCorePlayer OS can run LMS.  An inexpensive
Windows mini-PC would also work.

Switching the Radio firmware over to "UE Smart Radio" won't solve the
problem and will introduce other issues.

If for whatever reason you don't want the RPi solution, your

your NAS for storage. 

Plenty of Windows mini-PCs on Amazon. Get one pre-installed with Win 10

Used to be if you wanted a performer whose name started with a

If you need it, the 7.8.0 firmware is here:
http://update-origin.slimdevices.com/update/firmware/8.3.0/ =>
"fab4.bin" is for Touch.

Copy that file to the root of a USB flash drive.  Insert into USB at
rear of Touch.  Press "Reset" button.  IIRC, Touch will detect and offer
to install new firmware upon restart.

There are later versions as I'm running "fab4_8.0.1_r16862", but I can't
find any download locations.  These typically install via LMS "Community
Firmware" plugin, and I'm assuming you are no longer running LMS.  Maybe
try 7.8.0 first and if it works that avoids further complication.  If
you don't already the have EDO applet installed on your Touch, good
instructions are here:
https://darko.audio/2012/05/enhanced-digital-output-applet-for-squeezebox-touch/

Running EDO, Touch will pass via USB and coax up to PCM 24/192 and DSD64
packed as DoP (for DACs that support it.)  Please report back on how
things work out.

Because Inguz automatically generates its own custom-config.conf with
sections for each connected player, you need to edit this in the
plugin.pm file, delete the custom-config.conf file in the Inguz plugin
folder, and restart your server.  A new custom-config.conf will be
created.

To be safe, make "LAST GOOD" backups of any files you edit/delete.

You can see all Ogg filetype options in my first post.  If I understand,
disabling the Ogg-Ogg "Native" option will direct to the alternate

It's a puzzle as it should work.  For now I've set Ogg to "Native" and
can live without DSP on these files; I don't have that many of them.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Ogg not playing as expected using Inguz EQ

2021-09-12 Thread Apesbrain


Inguz runs everything through a filter, so all formats need decoding on
the server.  I have mostly FLAC and MP3, but also a few M4A and OGG. 
LMS filetypes are set to disabled for Ogg "Native" and instead play
using "sox" (see below).  This is similar to the settings for other
formats above.  Unfortunately, the Ogg files do not play unless I set
filetypes back to Ogg "Native" which circumvents Inguz EQ.  Any idea on
what is going wrong here and how to fix it?  (Is it possible that the
version of sox bundled with LMS 8.3 does not support playback of Ogg?) 
Thanks.

Seems ok: never exceeded 70% "Used Physical Memory" for all processes
running during full rebuild.

Typically 60% or slightly less:

scanner.exe at peak committing about 540MB of RAM. MsMpEng.exe seemed to
be working hard during the "Scanning new music files" and "Pre-caching

I guess I wouldn't have expected that to be needed.  Anyway, off topic.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] "Remove Played Songs" Plugin No Longer Working

2021-04-10 Thread Apesbrain


Does it show up on your Plugins tab as loaded?  Note that this plugin
has a "per player" setting: Settings > Player > Remove Played Songs >
[X].

I just downloaded it from the link you provided, put it in folder below
without any edits, and it loaded without issue on LMS 8.2 Win 7 x86:

C:\Program Files\Squeezebox\server\Plugins

However, for me it does not work as expected and only somewhat randomly
deletes prior tracks from playlist.

If the plugin is important to you, you could go back to LMS 7.9 which I
assume is when it last worked properly:

2021-02-22 Thread Apesbrain


Hi Michael, this is the regular view; no library.  In the particular
case above, each work is tagged with the appropriate COMPOSER, but the
ALBUM ARTIST for the entire LP is "Various Composers".  This worked fine
up until now.  The "new" way is redundant and unwieldy.  I never had an
issue with sorting.  Could we go back or make this "settable"?

What -has- always bothered me about these albums is the way they show up
elsewhere in LMS.  For instance, in the screen below it would be much
more useful for the individual tracks to list the COMPOSER rather than
"Various Composers".  Thanks for your consideration.

Just set your sleep timeout to some duration that is longer than you'll

Or, leave your laptop on and set the screen to time off if it bothers

Or as said above, abandon the laptop and run LMS on a Raspberry Pi 4

I've experimented with "Power On Resume" options and various values of

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.

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.

Port opening on "Home Network" is what you want; you don't want LMS

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.

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)?

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] "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.

I haven't used an "equalizer" custom-convert.conf for a few years, but I
think it worked back then.  Some slight differences to your own, so
maybe worth a try:


Code:

flc flc * 00:04:20:00:00:00
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}D:{RESAMPLE=-r %d}
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -q -t wav - -t wav

1.00q +1.4 | [flac] -cs --totally-silent --compression-level-0 -
  


You don't need the switch "equalizer 2842 0.1q +0.2" as it's not really
doing anything.
