Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] QLogitechMediaServer for Qnap with QTS 4.2 or higher and x86_64/I686/X86 support !
@digimaster I would suggest implementing the same naming scheme that is now becoming common in other implementations (piCorePlayer https://docs.picoreplayer.org/how-to/upgrade_lms/, LMS Community container https://registry.hub.docker.com/r/lmscommunity/logitechmediaserver/#!), that is: - Release version http://downloads.slimdevices.com/releases/latest.xml currently 8.2.0 - Stable version http://downloads.slimdevices.com/releases/nightly/stable.xml currently 8.2.1 - Development version http://downloads.slimdevices.com/releases/nightly/dev.xml currently 8.3.0 I'm not a developer, I believe this would imply some reprogramming of your update routines (perhaps taking inspiration from the piCorePlayer lms-update.sh) Then one could always download and copy into the public share of the NAS whatever version they may like, this upgrade/downgrade technique is very useful and should be kept. (At least, these are my suggestions, I would be grateful if you could take them in consideration!) scala's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13391 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108702 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

With time I've learned I think pretty well the behaviour of the .conf files, but I must say that the header lacks a bit of clarity when it says Code: # Capabilities # I - can transcode from stdin etc. etc. The subject of the sentence is missing, and for newcomers the meaning could be puzzling. Something like "The first executable binary of each entry can transcode from stdin" would make all those statements clearer, IMO. Perhaps one of the code maintainers could add this in one of the future releases?

I've been using equalization for years, and the fact of not being able to seek in mp3 tracks always bugged me: thanks for this solution! Although I don't have many mp3s, I did not like the anomalous behavior. May I add a comment. I have noticed that in your equalization you use: gain -6.9 equalizer 30 0.43q +6.2 the difference of -0.7 dB might not leave enough headroom to prevent clipping when applying the math for the equalization. I have noticed this in many occasions, and I run now with gain -3dB even though my equalization is only negative. Although not exactly the same problem, there is a hint of why it is so at this link https://benchmarkmedia.com/blogs/application_notes/intersample-overs-in-cd-recordings (apologies if is trivial knowledge for you) FWIW, I prefer to use an effects file for sox with the command --effects-file=/my/path/to/the/file/sox-effects so that I can more easily tinker with the filters when I feel like, or move around the furniture. scala's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13391 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112497 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] QLogitechMediaServer for Qnap with QTS 4.2 or higher and x86_64/I686/X86 support !
I wish to thank you Digimaster for the excellent work. I have installed QLogitechMediaServer some time ago and all has been running smoothly for a while. Much easier than the previous SSOTS or the installation via a Container, and much faster than both of them. My needed plugins (Spotty, Shairtunes, YouTube) also seem to work fine. Thanks! The only weak point comes directly from LMS itself: there is no quick way to start/stop/restart it, as it was done easily with SSOTS or Docker. Thus I would like to give my minimal contribution to the community with this suggestion. Assuming you are using Windows, and that WinSCP is installed, then PuTTY should also be automatically installed, as well as its subprogram plink. Create a file called for example RestartLMS.bat on your desktop (create a text file with Notepad and then rename it). The content of your .bat file should be for example something like: Code: plink administrator@QNAPserver -pw adminpassword /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/LogitechMediaServer/QLogitechMediaServer.sh restart The path should be adapted to your specific QLMS installation, to be verified via WinSCP. This command allows to restart QLMS with a double-click on Windows, without logging in with PuTTY, or logging into the QNAP GUI and finding the running QLMS application. If you don't want to keep your password stored in clear on your computer, you can omit the -pw adminpassword and then you will be prompted for it in a command window. You may create two other files for starting and stopping: the only change will be the last parameter in the command line: start or stop, instead of restart PS: please tell me how I can make you a donation in support of the excellent work scala's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13391 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108702 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Many thanks for all updates, now that QLogitechMediaServer supports spotty ans shairtunes2 I will definitely give it a try (maybe support for these is available since long time - sorry I don't come to the forum very often), since I am having some troubles with Docker-Container. However, I remember there is a way of copying server.prefs from one implementation to another, but which needs some editing. I cannot find these instructions, can you help? (Maybe a link in the first page of this thread to those instructions could be an idea?).

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LogitechMediaServer for Qnap x86_64 with qts 4.2 or higher
Excellent initiative! This will fill a very huge gap! I will try it for sure: I'm currently struggling between maintaining my current ailing installation via SSOTS and a new installation via Container, which seems OK but on which I cannot manage to have spotty working. However, before giving it a try, I'd like to ask a couple of questions: I definitely need ShairTunes2W, which in turn needs Crypt::OpensSSL::Bignum, Crypt::OpenSSL:Random and Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA. Are these installed in your QPKG? Also, I have made many changes to the basic preferences both of the LMS server and of each of the players. Do you know if there is an easy way to copy/paste preferences (I suppose copying some files) from the old LMS to the new installed one? scala's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13391 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108292 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
