Forgot to reply here. No, no single flac file for an album. They are all
multiple flac. The cue file exist only as a byproduct of the ripping
process I follow.

Thank you for this. No, there was no cuesheet embedded. I'm gonna keep
the cue file renamed and call it quits. Maybe it was a glitch, maybe
it's a bug. But for the time being I accept a compromise solution.

My problem is LMS taking into consideration cue files when they are
explicitly excluded from scans. I renamed the .cue file to .cue.bug and
upon rescan only a copy of the album was detected and added to the
database.

I am currently using 8.2.1 - 1639114554 @ Fri Dec 10 07:58:57 WEST 2021
What version should I be downloading to get the fix?

Edit: what's a good tool to check for embedded cuesheets?

2022-02-18 Thread gorman


Has this been fixed? I have spent the past few days being driven crazy
by an album that is displaying this behavior.

Couldn't understand what was wrong and it all appeared linear enough
that it *had* to be a problem with tagging. Only yesterday I completely
reset tags, rewrote them from scratch and got once more two entries for
the album. And then I noticed these "CUR" files...

But I have CUE under "Disabled Playlist File Extensions"... so I still
don't understand what's going on.

Thank you for the clear and concise explanation. I searched before
asking and found similar suggestions in past discussions but they kinda
left me unsure about what exactly I was supposed to delete. I thought
rescanning the library from scratch would have achieved the same result.
I will do as suggested and report back. Thanks again.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Database disk image is malformed

2021-12-14 Thread gorman


Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.3 - 1596893334 @ Sun Aug 9 04:07:48
WEDT 2020
Operating system: Windows 10 - EN - cp1252
Platform Architecture: 8664
Perl Version: 5.14.1 - MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
Audio::Scan: 0.95
IO::Socket::SSL: 2.024
Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.58 (sqlite 3.22.0)

I've had some crashes due to mysterious reasons (mainly switching GPU I
suppose), that I later fixed and the machine is once more stable and
running 24/7 with no problem.
Today I noticed that some Custom Browse entries I had set up were not
working, I've tried fixing them to no avail. Multilibrary plugin was not
accessible anymore, so I deleted it. I deleted CustomBrowse and I
rescanned the whole libray (I have Trackstat backups available).

But still LMS throws out this in logs:

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Praise

2020-08-19 Thread gorman


I couldn't agree more. I've been using Squeezeboxes for so many years
now and the community, dedication, support... has always been amazing.

With Squeezeplay being as amazing as it is now, this is pretty much
future proof as long as the community wants it to be (and we manage to
have dedicated developers onboard).

Thanks to everybody, really.

Ok, first, yeah, I had the problem accessing port 9000 as well. Thing is
too many things were happening at once, so I'm unsure of the steps taken
to remedy it. I am now running latest 7.9.3 available and everything
seems to be working.

Ok, thanks for the last bit of information but, again, I'm not managing
to explain myself.

Spotty is *gone*. Completely. The plugins settings page I refer to is
this:

[image: https://i.imgur.com/GFRYJwY.png]

In that page (I am not going there now because the server is scanning
the library right now) there is no Spotty installed. But accessing the
page, even after removing Spotty, caused the service to stop once more.
Hence my desire to try to debug this once and for all.

No other crashes. The service stops. Checked with services.msc, it
simply stops. And I would like to know what could I activate in debug
log to try and troubleshoot this behavior. Other than activating
everything, which is something I might even resort to if needed.

Problem is the stopping thing is now not consistent. It happened once,
don't know how to replicate it. So if I activate everything and keep it
going, waiting for the crash, log file might get gigantic, I'm afraid.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Accessing Plugin tab in settings (web interface) crashes LMS. How to debug?

2020-08-15 Thread gorman


Yesterday, after my machine completely crashed after a game had a bad
RAM leak, I met with a strange behavior from LMS. I mention the crash as
I am not sure that the two things are linked but it happened so... worth
mentioning it, I guess.

So... LMS started crashing and I did not know why. At first I thought it
was Squeezelite-X, as I outlined 'here'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?108550-Announce-Squeezelite-X=985078=1#post985078).

But then I found this in LMS logs:


Code:

So I tried uninstalling Spotty. But it was already not installed,
according to LMS. This was strange, as it was installed before and I had
never uninstalled it. I tried manually deleting the folder but it was
telling me some files were in use.
So when trying to access the plugins tab in settings, LMS basically
crashed and the service stopped. Sometimes it did this, sometimes it
didn't, with no particular pattern I could discern.

I retried deleting the installation folders and I discovered that it was
the spotty.exe file still in use by... spotty.exe. I brought up task
manager (Windows 10 Pro x64) and I discovered *nine* instances of
spotty.exe running. So I force stopped them and then I restarted LMS.
Everything seemed to work fine at that point.

BUT, when accessing the plugin tab in settings I had a couple of other
crashes, with the LMS service stopping.

I wanted to ask what specific debug settings I could try activate in
logs to get to the bottom of this. I would avoid reinstalling everything
from scratch, if at all possible.
Thank you.

And yeah, having different formats behave differently is something that
would bug me A LOT. :-D

As far as gain is concerned, the values are taken from AutoEQ for my
Beyerdynamic DT 880
(https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/tree/master/results/oratory1990/harman_over-ear_2018/Beyerdynamic%20DT%20880%20250%20Ohm).
So far I've never heard clipping and using EqualizerAPO you've got a
setting that automatically lowers volume in case of clipping, it never
activated (don't use it for Squeezebox because I wanted to have
bitperfect audio, for aestetic reasons more than anything, if I'm being
honest).

As far as the use of an effects file... OMG!!! I already love it! Gonna
study this tonight.

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.

As for your question above, with the player.source debug log active, try
to play an mp3 stream of your choice and post the tokenized command
here. From there we can work it out, I hope.

Probably doesn't for recent Raspberry (thinking 3 and 4). I'm no expert
but this (CPU usage) is something you can easily check with task manager
(not familiar with how it's called in Linux environment).

Also, thanks for defining me as knowledgeable. In reality... I simply
like to tinker and Squeezebox really is a tinkerer's paradise. To think
that after so many years it's still capable of surprising me with new
functionalities... I'm honest when I say I feel like I will never be
able to give back enough to this community for all the value it has
brought to me.

In any case, if you want a one program solution, ffmpeg does everything.
Don't know if your system can handle it (I honestly don't know whether
ffmpeg uses lots of system resources compared to flac and sox).

Skip was never in discussione, actually.

My looking at that single line sox I reach your same conclusions, as I
don't see how it could handle seek.

Luckily I don't need it for the moment. I managed to use the other way
of using HRTF functionality. It wasn't working because the wav file with
the... impulse? With whatever's needed to do the magic... it needed the
full path. I had it in the bin directory and I thought that with all the
programs being in there that was the working directory but it's not.
So with this I get what I need:

Code:

Simulated surround sound while playing back DTS and AC3 files with
headphones. I encapsulate them in ALC files (that I use just for that
purpose, all the rest of lossless music is in FLAC) and I use a specific
instance of Squeezelite, identified by the MAC address.
I write this in case somebody might be interested.

Problem remains with brackets and custom-convert.conf... but I've
already spent too many hours solving this. I've lost my strength and my
suspicion is that this would be a really tough nut to crack (surely for
abysmal my skill level).

As always, thanks to everybody that chimed in to help. This community is
awesome, the whole project never ceases to amaze me, after all these

If it could help, I could apply equalization through ffmpeg, doing away

already done it with:

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Is it possible somehow to use square brackts in custom-convert-conf?

2020-07-01 Thread gorman


FFMPEG has lots of incredibly interesting filters to play with, for
instance HRTF surround simulation for headphones.

But many of its arguments and switches use square brackets. As soon as I
use them Squeezebox Server complains that it cannot find the
corresponding binary... This seems just an oversight or maybe I'm
missing something.

Something like this apparently cannot work:

ffmpeg -i $FILE$ -i waves-HRIR.wav -filter_complex
"amovie=waves-HRIR.wav[hrirs];[0:a][hrirs]headphone=map=FL|FR|FC|LFE|SL|SR:hrir=multich:gain=5"
-f wav

As SBS complains about not finding the hrirs binary...

If somebody for whatever reason would prefer to use ffmpeg for FLAC
processing this should work (seek works, END should work for cue files
but I don't have any to test):


Code:


  flc flc * bc:5f:f4:bf:3e:70
# FT:{START=-ss %t}U:{END=-to %v}
[ffmpeg] -loglevel quiet $START$ $END$ -i $FILE$ -f wav - | [sox] -D -q 
-t wav - -t flac -C 0 -b 24 - gain -6.9 equalizer 30 0.43q +6.2 equalizer 699 
2.00q +1.0 ... etc.

Convert.conf still is some sort of black magic stuff under many
aspects... it's good to have clarifications on the forums, when
possible. For future reference.

Ok, found solution for MP3s as well. Since I have music only in flac and
mp3 my solution is complete.


Code:


  mp3 flc * bc:5f:f4:bf:3e:70
# FT:{START=-ss %t}
[ffmpeg] -loglevel quiet $START$ -i $FILE$ -f wav - | [sox] -D -q -t

4.08q +2.2 equalizer 83 4.24q +1.3 equalizer 209 1.54q -1.2 equalizer 2842 0.1q 
+0.2 equalizer 12443 1.29q +2.7 equalizer 19698 0.46q -11.8
  



I had to use ffmpeg because, as far as I can see, LAME does not accept
time offsets when decoding
(https://svn.code.sf.net/p/lame/svn/trunk/lame/USAGE). Don't know how
the internal functionality of mp3 transcoding works (when lowering
bitrates) because that is capable of seeking but the convert.conf line
does not show any instruction for that. I could probably be using ffmpeg
for flac files too but I guess there's no point or added value.

If there are mistakes in my solution above, please do point them out.

Now I see that a similar problem arises with mp3 files. Instead of
jumping to the next track in the queue, when seeking the track is
restarted. Lines in custom-convert.conf are:


Code:


  mp3 flc * bc:5f:f4:bf:3e:70
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}
[lame] --mp3input --decode --silent $FILE$ - | [sox] -D -q -t wav - -t

equalizer 2924 4.11q -1.7 equalizer 6031 5.05q -6.2 equalizer 9825 4.08q +2.2 
equalizer 83 4.24q +1.3 equalizer 209 1.54q -1.2 equalizer 2842 0.1q +0.2 
equalizer 12443 1.29q +2.7 equalizer 19698 0.46q -11.8
  



I'm going to investigate some more, as the START and END variables are
not called in the line... so it's understandable they don't work, I
guess.
I'll come back with my findings later.

In the meantime, thank you so much to everybody that chimed in to help.
And a special thank you to ralphy for providing the solution. I think
that build should be part of the standard distribution of LMS, btw.

2020-06-29 Thread gorman


What I can't understand is why this is happening. The first portion,
which is the one "deciding" seek is identical to other lines in
convert.conf


flc mp3 * *
*# F*B:{BITRATE=--abr
%B}*T:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}*D:{RESAMPLE=--resample %D}
*[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ |* [lame] --silent -q $QUALITY$
$RESAMPLE$ $BITRATE$ - -


It's pretty much identical to:

flc flc * bc:5f:f4:bf:3e:70
# FT:{START=--SKIP=%T}U:{END=--UNTIL=%V}
*[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ |* [sox] -q -t wav - -t flac -C 0
-b 24 - gain -6.9 equalizer 30 0.43q +6.2

Does sox have problems handling stdin input when it stops and restart?

Unfortunately the problem remains. When decoding FLAC and inputting into
sox, seek jumps to the following track in the queue. When decoding MP3
and inputting into sox, seek restarts the current track.

It's funny because it was this five years old post of yours that put me
on to this solution. And even back then the person helping you was
mentioning losing seek functionality but offered a solution (which is
what I am using). A solution that I can't make work. :-(

What happens when I seek is that the playback stops and it jumps to the

This what I have in debug log from when the song gets transcoded with
sox to when I seek and it errors out, jumping to the next in queue.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Using Sox to parametrically equalizing I'm losing seek functionality. Could it work?

2020-06-28 Thread gorman


I've recently bought a DAC (Topping D10) to connect to my headphone
amplifier. I'm using Beyerdynamic DT 880 and I'm quite pleased with
AutoEQ values for them.

Now, I used to use EqualizerAPO but that doesn't work with ASIO/WASAPI
and... being stupid that way I like the display on the DAC to show the
correct sample rate for the file I'm playing.

As such I've searched on the forums and found suggestions to use Sox to
parametrically equalize.

I'm using the following in my custom-convert.conf:

#Headphones
flc flc * bc:5f:f4:bf:3e:70
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -q -t wav - -t flac -C 0 -b
24 - gain -6.9 equalizer 30 0.43q +6.2 

mp3 flc * bc:5f:f4:bf:3e:70
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}
[lame] --mp3input --decode --silent $FILE$ - | [sox] -q -t wav - -t
flac -C 0 -b 24 - gain -6.9 equalizer 30 0.43q +6.2 

I cut the rest of the equalization points to avoid unnecessary length
for reading. Equalization works great. But with these lines I'm loosing
the ability to seek to a specific point in a track (using Squeezelite-X
to control music on my desktop PC).

Is this something that could be solved somehow?
Thanks in advance.

I already have that, with MultiLibrary and CustomBrowse (Erland's). I've
got a Multichannel library and a Stereo library. But LastMix keeps
choosing Multichannel material even if the Multichannel library is set
to be included only for the living room Squeezebox (which is connected
to a multichannel amp via spdif). So I'm at my desk, using Squeezelite
and LastMix keeps picking multichannel tracks just the same.
I'm sorry, I know this has not much to do with 7.9.2.

Two questions on the above.

1) Is it possible to exclude a genre from Don't Stop the Music? I have
5.1 music on my server and use ffmpeg to convert it to 2.0 for players
not supporting DTS/AC3. The script always works when called directly but
when going from 2.0 to 5.1 music... sometimes it just outputs static.
Furthermore, I have all the corresponding albums in 2.0, so there's no
real point in using 5.1 stuff, unless I specifically select it. All the
5.1 content has genre "5.1" if that could help (and it comes all from
the same directory).

2) I have an album in opus, files are *.opus. Scanner is not picking
them up. Is there something specific I need to do? I'll activate debug
for the scanner and report back for this, but maybe I'm overlooking
something.

Thanks for keeping the flame lit. It's immensely appreciated.

Ok, it was this:
https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?109518-Server-taking-12-14-hours-to-start=923803=1#post923803

I left the June build going for a while and, after a very long while, it
finished and started correctly. I then disabled the TrackStat settings
suggested by Erland in the above link and installed the latest nightly.
Everything went smoothly and the service started in the usual amount of
time.

kidstypike thanks again, the builds you provided prompted me to insist
in finding a solution. Much appreciated.

2020-01-13 Thread gorman


Started from the June build, nothing changes. Installation goes ok, it
tries to restart the service. Waits and waits, at the end it stops
"correctly" but the service is still "starting" under services.msc.
CPU is at 15%, like the server is doing something. The log is not
showing anything but I don't know what entries to put in debug mode to
understand where it hangs and doing what.

Now I'm going to leave it working for a while, maybe it needs to do
something, some re-indexing...

pinpoint when the problem is introduced (I guess a problem must exist,
considering 7.9.1 works perfectly). If you could zip them up and place
them somewhere I would appreciate it.
Thank you in advance!

Edit: if you are on a metered connection and need to choose... I'd go
with the June one.

Even if you don't know what the problem is/how to solve it. If you have
an earlier nightly lying around on your PC and could make it
available... maybe it would work and help isolate the problem. Thanks in
advance, just in case. :)

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] [WIN] From 7.9.1 to 7.9.2-1578727069. Server not starting.

2020-01-12 Thread gorman


As per the title, I tried updating to the latest nightly (I was
interested in Opus playback) but the server was not able to start. The
process kept being in execution, with about 15% CPU usage (on a 4770K,
so quite high). Waited ten minutes or so, nothing. Installed again, same
result. Installed 7.9.1 over everything and it works perfectly as
before.

Unfortunately, unless I've missed it, there's no way to download
previous nightlies.

System is Windows 10 Pro 1903 x64, i7 4770K, 32GB RAM. Available to
provide further details, in case it's needed.

I'm using LastMix. And I'd like to exclude 5.1 files from the mix (all
tagged with 5.1 genre for browsing ease).

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS 7.9.1 and Virtual Libraries, where can I read about them?

2017-12-10 Thread gorman

As per the title, I've come back to the forums to check on latest
developments (thanks to anybody involved in keeping LMS up to date, this
is appreciated *a lot*) and discovered 7.9.1 has been made availabile.

In the changelog I see "Add support for "Virtual Libraries" or custom
library views, to limit the browsing to a sub-set of your overall music
collection." for 7.9.

I am currently using 7.8.1 - 1402661598 on a Windows 10 x64 server, with
Erland's Custom Browse and Multi Library plugins. Where can I read about
these new Virtual Libraries? Do they cover everything that Erland's
plugins provide? Would I risk conflicts with those plugins by updating
my installation?

Thanks again!

PS
Is there a way to donate some money to support the continuing
development? I'd really like to contribute.
