A good strategy in general, but in this case, for changes to config.txt
on the boot partition, no.

Sounds like you've got them better trained. Often mine have "lost" an

My squeezelite-X app stopped playing today and flashed it lost
connection to my LMS server. No bother I though so I restarted my
server (WHS 2011) running LMS and its come back.
However the music is there but my settings don't seem to be. Nothing in

While file location is unconventional - I don't think it is the root
cause as logs have shown - files have been found and scanned - yet no
database

I think if we can understand what is happening during and after scanning
and fix it - then most of the problem will be resolved.

The frame buffer is set to 1024x600. and with 640x480 skin, height is a

What is over scan and can I reduce it at all.
I do backup and reboot, after saving any alterations to the card.

LANG is not defined by default on Windows. LANG= syntax is not allowed
- have to use a separate command line using SET.
Ralphy,
Can you build a diagnostic version of flac.exe to verify what
localisation settings are being "seen" by the executbale.
Just add the line in red to utils.c near mrw's change.
Code:
ret += strtod(s, );
flac__utils_printf(stderr,
OK, let's see if I can sum up what were the problems I had, which I
hadn't and which were solved.
1) Problem playing large wav or flac files. This was my greatest
concern, because I could open the file and see the tracks inside with
LMS, but couldn't play them. Problem solved.

That's your problem. What you've done:
1) By setting the framebuffer values, you've told the operating system
that your screen is 1024x600.
2) By choosing a 640x480 skin, you've told Jivelite only to use the
central 640x480 section of your screen.
Well I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but the whole system becomes
laggy and unstable when I move the LMS cache files to the new Primary
ext4 partition. I've tried deleting and recreating the partition but the
result is the same. It's not a big deal, it works well with the cache
files in the

The trouble with my different patch using strtod_l is that Win32 doesn't
follow the C standard lib and so to create a patch that compiles OK I
had to get Vs2019

I have set frame buffer size to 1024 x 600, saved it.
Chosen grid screen 1024 x 600 and saved and rebooted pCP.
There is still a 1cm black band at top and bottom of screen (8cm
height)
How could I expand into this space. Any ideas.
You could experiment with the overscan settings. From the config.txt
file:
Code:
# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if
console
# goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
Ok , 5 players sync'd on the pi4 all working perfectly!

That gives about 5mm top and bottom and with HD image 1280 x 1024 gives

A hat trick in fact.
Tested patch 3 on Windows - it fails on any number with commas which is
expected. I'm not sure why but the patch didn't apply itself properly so
I think
My players' playlists keep being displayed as empty. Did you change
something regarding permissions?
