Yes, the 8dot3name support of the file system should be enabled to let
the LMS scanner process such files. You might also want to set the LMS'
character encoding to utf8. See also 'this thread.'

I do have an ASUS router (different model) and attached an usb drive and
enabled samba on the router. While I can access from Windows w/o

You don't need to provide username+password for the startup mode
'automatically run at system start'. The Windows SYSTEM account is used
in this case.
But this might need additional measures if your music files are not on
local disks or can be accessed with a specific user account only.

Try mp3tag on Windows. Load both the working and not working files, then
select all. If the Genre field says '< keep >', the tags differ
(assuming here that both sets should have the same genre). Make sure
that the files only have FLAC tags (see Tag column), not mp3 or other

This depends on how you've configured LMS to start. This registry key is
only available for the start mode 'Automatically run at system start'.
Which is the recommended way IMHO, because you don't need to login to
have LMS running. You can configure this in LMS Control Panel, but you
must start it as Administrator (there's a menu in the LMS tray icon for
that).

If you want to keep your way of starting LMS and if it's configured to
start automatically when you login, then do this:
- open a file explorer window and type shell:startup in the address bar
and press enter.
- there should be an entry for LMS. Right-click on it and open the
Properties dialog. In the highlighted text field for the executable
scroll to the end and add a blank and then the --charset=utf8 string.
(If you're starting LMS manually then you could do the same with the LMS
symbol you're using to start LMS.)

How do you try to start the Control Panel? From the LMS icon in the
system tray?
Does the Control Panel hang showing the splash screen or does it stop
itself?

You could check the running processes using Windows Taskmanager:
right-click Windows status bar and select the Task-Manager. When it's
up, ensure to have More Details selected in the lower left corner and
then switch to the Details tab where you see all running processes.
Ensure they're sorted by name and look for processes with names starting
with 'squeeze'. The Control Panel would be squeezeboxcp.exe, the server
is SqueezeSvr.exe and the tray icon is SqueezeTray.exe.

It might be not THAT efficient to load all files and sort them to find
and modify just a subset. But it's a no-brainer. Just be patient or do
something else while mp3tag is working. :)

Having said that, how large is your library and where are the files
stored? If the files load slowly with mp3tag there might be a bottleneck
that the powershell script will hit too?

I'd still recommend mp3tag for this job, but of course you could create
a ps script doing the same. Just be careful with file paths that contain
special characters. Use the -literalpath option of gci. And btw, the
script on the site you've linked to doesn't filter for audio files but
will also load artwork or whatever files you might have in addition.
Note that the Taglib library that is used in that script can not only
deal with mp3 but other audio files as well.

Since you're using mp3tag anyway, just load your library into mp3tag and

Do you really display images and videos through LMS? If not, disable
scanning for these. But I don't know if it would make a difference
regarding ram usage.

Can you please post a server.log file when LMS was started in 'Safe
Mode'?

Some other thing to try:
while LMS is not yet started, rename LMS' cache folder so that LMS will
rebuild everything from scratch. But before starting LMS, go in LMS
control panel and set your Library folder to a newly created directory
(outside your current library folder) where you copied only a single
album to it. Then start LMS and see if it works...

IIRC, I never had to do this.
What I'd try is setting the LMS root music folder to a newly created
folder outside your current music folder and copy an album to it that
currently shows duplicates and let it perform a full scan. If this works
fine, add one more and let it scan for changed files etc. Looks like you
don't use the typical Artist/Album folder structure. So you could try
this as well. As soon as you get duplicates again, I'd set the log level
for the scanner to debug (see Settings/Advanced/Logging) and see if that
shows up something.

Did the same now and it works perfectly fine for me. I've even put the
file in a folder named Hlaváek. The file is scanned by a 'look for
new & changed files' scan and shown in the 'New Music' section of the
library and I can play it.
28915
I can also navigate to it via 'Music Folder' without problems. Both from
web UI or player.

Ragarding changing the LMS charset on Windows:
for a test, you could start SqueezeSvr.exe manually with argument
--charset=utf8
To persist this change if LMS runs as a service append this argument (of
course seperated by a space) to the ImagePath value in the registry key

Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\squeezesvc

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS not seeing files with non-Latin characters in the filename (Windows)

2020-01-04 Thread reinholdk

I'm running the same LMS version on Win 10 and I have a quite a few of
such files and they work flawlessly, like


Code:


  22 - Bani Adam ( ).flac
  02 - Zblia si nowe.flac
  02 - Þú Ert Jörðin.flac
  



I vaguely remember there was an issue with Browse Music Folder with such
folder names but this is fine now.

What are your LMS charset settings? See Settings->Information: Operating
system.
I used the default charset of cp1252 which used to work fine, but
changed to utf8 some time ago. Don't remember why (maybe string sorting
issues).

And I'm not sure if the '?' in the log message is really unexpected,
because I think this is just the console output which uses a different
charset.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Error message when launching LMS from desktop icon

2019-12-26 Thread reinholdk


You shouldn't need to start LMS via your desktop shortcut. LMS is
running already as shown in the status message in your screenshot (and
as the "Abort scan" button indicates, it was scanning your library for
new and changed files).

You have chosen the startup option "Automatically run at login" so LMS
will start when you're logging in to your computer. Usually it's
recommended  to choose the startup option "Automatically run at system
start" so LMS is running even if you're not logged in.

As the message in red indicates, you didn't open the LMS control panel
with admin rights. This applies to LMS startup options "Automatically
run at login" or "Automatically run at system start" where admin rights
are required to start & stop LMS.

To start the LMS control panel with admin rights either follow the
instructions given in this message or click on the LMS icon in the
system tray and select "Open Control Panel as Administrator".

In case you need to load the full library into mp3tag more often, you
can advise mp3tag to create its own db for caching the tags to speedup

You would just need the library.db file. It's a sqlite db (unless you
are running a very old LMS with MySql support or did some tweaking to
use MySql).
But as others suggested, loading all files with mp3tag should work. Of

Yes, the LANG environment variable is not known in Windows. The decimal
separator is defined globally.
Although the cygwin environment, which some of LMS deliverables for
Windows might use (because there's a cygwin.dll), seems to support LANG,
the flac.exe delivered with LMS seems to ignore it.

But the dependency actually exists. Maybe there's some other function
checking it before passing it to the function you've found?
Anyway, if I change the decimal separator on my Windows system, I have
to adapt the skip & until format accordingly to make flac.exe accept the
values. Otherwise it aborts with "ERROR: invalid value for --skip".

Please note that according to flac documentation the format of the time
given for skip and until arguments are depending on the current locale!
So on a system with comma as decimal separator it should read e.g.
--skip=29:04,06

Not sure what the OP is using.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Administrator Privileges

2019-05-16 Thread reinholdk


Are both computers running the same version of Windows, e.g. version
1809? (see Settings->System->Info, scroll down a bit)
Are both computers have the same setting for the UAC level? (type UAC in
the search field, click the entry for user account control.) Default is
the 2nd highest level, which is fine.

When you're installing Windows (10) the user account you are specifying
during installation will be part of the administrators group. (see
Settings->Accounts where "Administrator" should be mentioned below your
account name). Although you're an administrator, this doesn't mean you
have all the rights to modify things. Instead, dependent on the UAC
settings, Windows asks for confirmation if an operation needs
administrative privileges. For example, if you are installing a program
Windows usually detects automatically that this needs admin rights and
prompts you for confirmation. That is, typically you don't need to
right-click on the setup program to run it with admin rights from the
beginning. Windows will ask for it.

When installing LMS (or later using the LMS Control Panel) you can
choose the startup option for LMS. Typically you will want to use
"Automatically run at system start", which means that you don't need to
login to start LMS but simply start the computer. But to set this
startup mode, the LMS Control Panel needs admin rights. Nowadays there's
a menu entry in LMS' tray icon to start the control panel with admin
rights. Alternatively look for the LMS Control Panel entry in Start
menu, right-click it and select more->Run as Administrator. Then the red
warning message should not appear.

I've no idea regarding your original issue, but the Thumbs.db file is
used by Windows Explorer internally. It's used to cache thumbnail views
of images. If Windows doesn't let you delete the folder because
Thumbs.db is currently in use, you can try switching to a different
folder that contains an image (and maybe switch between details view and
icon view of the folder). Usually this lets Windows Explorer close the
Thumbs.db in the first folder so you can then delete it.

In addition to dBpoweramp there's Exact Audio Copy for ripping on

Whatever you're using for ripping, you probably want to keep on using
mp3tag to check and finalize the tags.
For getting cover art I'm using AlbumArtDownloader.

How do you know that the folders with missing audio files are properly
recognized?
Can you see them after clicking one of the Browse buttons on the
WebUI->Settings->Basic Settings page? Did you ensure there's the
checkmark beside the folder path to enable scanning for music files?

You could get more infos about the scanning process after going to
WebUI->Settings->Advanced, selecting Logging from the dropdown and
setting all entries starting with 'scan' to 'Debug'. Then press 'Apply
on the same page and restart a full scan with clearing the library. Then
have a look to the scanner.log file again.

That message is an indication that the currently running instance of the
LMS control panel has not enough privileges to deal with the LMS
background service. And this background service is needed if you want to
start-up LMS when your system starts, that is, LMS runs even if you are
not logged in. Such a background service (aka Windows service) is a
special way to run executables, in this case the LMS executable
SqueezeSvr.exe. And enabling or starting/stopping such a service needs
administrator privileges.

So if you never want to run LMS without logging in, you can ignore this
message.

I tried a full rescan with the --charset=utf8 startup parameter added as
dolodobendan suggested (and verified that LMS was displaying utf8
instead of cp1252 in the info). It was added and was playable without

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS Scan Missed a Song

2018-10-19 Thread reinholdk


I investigated a bit more and noticed that LMS was using a short file
name (the so-called 8.3 name) for the track instead of the long name
shown in Windows Explorer.

I checked the tracks in my library.db and found that there are a few
more where the original file or folder names have some "special"
characters in it. Note that I have many albums especially from Northern
Europe with lots of foreign characters that don't lead to 8.3 names.
There are relatively few artist or track names that lead to this, like
Leszek Moder (a Polish jazz pianist).

Anyway, I assume this behavior is caused by Perl.

So if the file is not added to the library in the OP's case, maybe
Windows is configured to not create the 8.3 names at all?

This can be checked with the command 
Code:

fsutil 8dot3name query

 (see
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/fsutil-8dot3name)

Start the Windows Taskmanager if stuttering occurs and check CPU and

It's the cp1252 in the line with the OS info. An this is what I have as
well.
But my LMS handles a music file with the name in question without
problems. It's added after a rescan and I can play it.
My LMS on Win10 uses the same Perl, AudioScan and SQlite versions as
yours but I have LMS 7.9.2.
Maybe you should consider using the latest LMS, even if not for this

Check if LMS service is really not running. If it's running you would
see it either in TaskManager or listed (as "squeezesvc"?) when you type
"net start" (without quotes) on a command prompt. Or you can check it
using the services management console window (on non-server Windows you

Yes, it's on Win10 and indeed it might be occuring after the update from
a 7.9 beta to the official 7.9.0 (and still occurs with a more recent

There was no firmware update on the affected Radios, they're running the

Exactly as you did by changing the entries to Debug. Typically the log

while the Debug level gives you much more details in the log file.

Did you check the scanner.log after running clear for any hint?
If unsure, zip it and attach it here. In WebUI Settings/Information

Security by obscurity could fail sooner or later. Don't know if there

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Artwork not displayed

2017-02-01 Thread reinholdk

mp3tag is usually a very reliable tool. What does it display in its main
view's Tag column? Only "FLAC (FLAC)"?

You don't mean Windows Event Viewer, but rather the Process Monitor,
right? If so, did you manage to configure the filters as I've proposed?
If yes, there shouldn't be too much events and all should be about
writing files in the path you've entered.

In fact, there's a Windows built-in alternative to the Process Monitor
to get the process that has modified a file. It's the Windows security
auditing. But IMO it's too complicated to setup appropriately...

Among the powerful Windows Sysinternals tools there are two that can
help you find the culprit.
The first is 'Process Explorer'
(https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processexplorer), a
very detailed task manager from which the Windows Task Manager learned a
lot in recent versions, and the second is 'Process Monitor'
(https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processmonitor), a
real-time file, registry and process watcher.

You can download and unzip them to any folder.
Start with Process Explorer to see if a currently running process
accesses your music files. Start procexp.exe either directly as admin
or, once started, use it's File menu to restart it as admin. Then type
Ctrl+F or click on the spyglass icon and enter the path to your music
library. Process Explorer will give you a list of processes that
*currently* have file handles open in this path.

If this doesn't give you a hint, close it and try Process Monitor. Be
careful: when it starts, it immediately captures hundreds of thousands
of file and registry accesses and might slow down your system a bit.
Stop capturing with a click on the magnifier glass icon or type Ctrl+E.
Define a filter to exclude stuff you are not interested in. First,
deselect all of the five right-most buttons in the toolbar except the
one for file access (2nd from left in this group). Then click on the
filter icon (or type Ctrl+L). Add two new filters to the list of
predefined filters:
1) from the first dropdown list select 'Path', from the conditions
select 'exclude', in the 3rd field enter the path to your music library
and from the last list select 'exclude' and click the Add button (don't
forget this!). This filter exludes all events that don't have the path
you've entered.
2) from the first list select 'Operation', from the 2nd 'exclude', from
the 3rd select 'WriteFile' and from the 4th 'exclude' and click Add(!).
This filter excludes all events that are not about writing a file.
Now close the filter window and re-enable capturing. Note that the
filters just hide excluded events but still a huge amount of events need
to be processed. But if no process is currently writing a file in your
path, you'll see no events (you can temporarily create and modify a file
manually to see the events are working).

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS 7.9 randomly skips to the next song without finishing the one playing

2017-01-20 Thread reinholdk

Still curious:

- why does the new router allow the Touches (which are connected to
  the old router, I assume) to load the music faster?
  
- it would be interesting to know (maybe not for you?) what setting
  prevented the Touches connect reliably to the new router by WiFi.
  
Anyway, glad that it works for you now.

For a first test use a different SSID so you can make sure that the
Touch connects to the AP.

If everything would be working fine then the SSIDs could even be
identical and the AP would just extend the WiFi coverage in your home -
and with better performance than a WiFi Repeater. Of course the AP and
the new router should span a single network (which they do when you
switch your old router to Bridge mode as it's called in the Linksys
manual, I think).

I meant "(temporarily)" exactly as explained by toby10.

Or try to use the old router (temporarily) as an WiFi Access Point only
and let the Touch connect to this. Some routers have a dedicated AP mode
setting, some must be configured manually to do so.

Touch and Radio are both 802.11g devices. And it should not matter
whether 2.4 and 5GHz have the same SSID or not, or whether the router's
nw mode is 802.11g only or not.

Did you stop LMS after disabling the plugin and applying the
change of the settings? Try again with updating to the latest version of
7.9.

The command processor command START has the option /B to execute a
