Switching between HD ans SD Tracks - No audio

February 25, 2017, 9:03 am

Hello everybody.

I'm running Daphile with lms 7.9 and a Marantz DAC/Amplifier PM7005. The problem I'm experiencing seems a bit strange to me...The test case is the following:
I make a playlist with two songs. Song A is an HD song (96/24), song B is a SD song (44.1/16).
Now, if I play song A first, Song B will be played but no audio comes out from the amplifier. If I play Song B first, Song A will be played and the audio comes out of the amplifier as it should be.
In the first case (no audio from the amplifier) I have to manually switch off/on the player from the lms interface and the audio starts to come out.

Can anyone give me a hint or a suggestion to solve the problem?

Many Thanks,
Giuseppe

How to get the scan to put all albums under one instance of an artist

I keep getting two entries for Bartók, Béla. They are spelled identically, with no extra spaces. About half of my albums tagged with Bartók, Béla are in one entry, the rest are in the other. Clearing the database and doing a full rescan does not help. My server is on OpenSUSE Leap 42.1.

Why does Picture Gallery keep installing itself

That's the one from the 3rd party section, I assume.

How so? --nomysqueezebox?

That's because you've disabled mysb.com. That's fine.

But what about the media folders in the basic settings? Is anything
activated for pictures and/or videos?

> Have this in my log (which indicates my PiCore Server is using epoch

That would probably be worth mentioning in the pCP discussion.

> [70-01-01 02:31:36.6914] Slim::Web::Graphics::__ANON__ (403) Artwork
> resize for /home/tc/www/images/donate_100x100_o.gif failed

I think my recent builds of Image::Scale came without support for GIF files.

That said, none of this should have any impact on the plugin installer.
Except probably for the time stamp? Hmm... Can you try to set the time
correctly, then restart LMS?

LMS 7.9.0 Stopping After Alarm Triggers and other issues

Hi

I've had this issue before where an alarm being triggered shuts down the LMS server. This was found to be caused by a number of 3rd party plugins that were enabled from an earlier install.

But this issue has returned in 7.9.0. Trouble is I can't actually get to see what plugins are enabled as the 'Advanced Settings' option from the control panel doesn't work either now. I just get a blank page in Edge and IE11 from the link shown in the address bar...

http://127.0.0.1:9000/settings/index.html

Nor can I access that link from another machine on the same network using the physical servers static IP, so...

http://192.168.1.33:9000/settings/index.html

In addition, when 7.9.0 installed it once again got confused about the settings it should have for those folders and files it should index Vs what was installed in the Web UI. BTW, at point of install I could see the Advanced Settings. So the Control Panel just had Z:\music but the web UI had Z:\Music and Z:\Pictures and the other one I can't remember with all three file types selected for each folder. So when I asked it to re-index it started capturing all sorts of stuff I don't want LMS to be handling. Why is there this apparent disconnect between the settings in the Control Panel and those in the Web UI?

Log files attached and zipped.

Many thanks.

Spotify Lossless streaming being trialled now.

> if this lossless tier goes indeed go live, can squeezebox users take
> advantage of the new stream???

Hard to tell.

One thing I'm pretty confident about: not without a major effort from
the community. Both Triode's implementation (and its descendents) as
well as the Radio/Touch firmware are using libspotify. This is a library
Spotify has deprecated years ago. I would bet it will not be able to
play those streams.

Which means we'd need something new. Now here's the problem: Spotify
wants you all-in. You want Spotify playback? You need a "Spotify
Connect" implementation. You want to control Spotify Connect? You need
Spotify's application. There's no official API or library to control
Spotify Connect.

Which leaves you with some reverse-engineered open source solution - if
you're lucky.

How to reduce scanning time

> How can I speed up the scanning?

Others mentioned 7.9 and the memory tweaking. Definitely worth a try.

But then we'd need to know the actual bottleneck: what kind of
connection are you using between your computer and the NAS? Don't use
wireless. Gigabit ethernet would be best.

Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.0 - 1487582706 crashes when listening to dynamic playlists. If you press pause, the server crashes. This has happened 3 times now. It had not happened before this latest update, but I had not been using the dynamic playlists for a while. No lopg messages.
I am running my server on OpenSUSE LEAP 42.2
And I am on hard-wired ethernet, so its not a wifi issue. The server GUI is dead too.

Apple Music AAC

I have been trying to follow and install various plugins, but realizing I may have missed the boat...
I have had my Squeezebox three for a number of years, but I have recently subscribed to Apple Music and some of the files have been replaced with Apple Music AAC files.

I was hoping not to have to do any conversions of files (or go back to my backup), but have noticed that the LMS 7.9 (Mac OS X 10.12.2) does not recognize these files when scanning my iTunes Library...
Is there any info, docs, etc.. on this? Or links to other threads on this subject. Just not sure how to proceed.

Thanks and I apologize if this has been addressed 1000 times, I just cannot find the right right info to move forward

I'm running LMS 7.7.2 on my Qnap HS210 but it's already long time that is giving me troubles. Basically the Duet receiver cannot connect to the server anymore even if from the Qnap control panel seems that LMS is running. Strangely LMS is not reachable if I click on the relative icon (ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED).
Where can i find an updated and reliable LMS to install on my nas? There is any other solution or I have to change the NAS/Squeezebox?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi - I wonder if anyone can assist with a problem I have. Recently my National Public Radio favourite stopped working. I searched for the new live stream and added (TuneIn) and it failed to play. It does play on the PC. So I got the link from the NPR site, but the same problem. I am using a Raspberry Pi, with SSL support. The error is as shown below - any ideas?

Are there performance benefits to updating to 7.9? I heard this isn't a straight forward process.
My player keeps dropping out (music stops and starts)
Plus any improvements on the touch wifi buffering would be useful.

I get these messages about once per week. I have to uninstall LMS and reinstall to get my apps to work again.
If this happens, none of my apps show on LMS or on my SBT homepage until I have gone through the uninstall process.
I have about 15,000 lossless music tracks so installation is a PITA!

Any suggestions?

volume control transporter before or after custom-convert.conf?

Hello guys,

I am using an upsampling sox rule in my custom-convert.conf , in this rule I am attenuating 3 dB to avoid clipping during upsampling.

Now I am wondering, which happens first: volume control on transporter and then processing in custom-convert.conf or does volume control occur after processing in custom-convert.conf? Is it done in hardware (in transporter) or in software (LMS) ?

Best regards,

Ronald

Playlist edit command is slower then playlist add command with large playlists

March 10, 2017, 2:29 am

Issue: Why does it take a long time to add song in Playlist(which is stored playlist not playing)
But not in Client Playlist( which is current playing) and how we can improve it?

Please find the same in detail in below:-

In Logitech Media server I understand there is two type of playlist.

1. Saved Playlist (which are not playing)
2. Current Playlist (which is currently playing)

So there are two types of command to add the songs to playlist.
1. Edit command to add a song to Saved playlist
Command is : "playlists edit cmd:add playlist_id:22 title:Song url:file://media/summerof69.mp3<LF>"
2. Add command to add a song into Current playlist
Command is : 1. <playerid> playlist add /media/summerof69.mp3
2. <playerid> playlist save <filename>

If we use edit command then some of the observation is mentioned in below email which is not at all reasonable :-
If playlist contain 1000 song: - to add a single song it will take 6 to 7 seconds.
If the playlist contains 2000 songs: - to add a single song it will take 10 to 12 seconds.
If the playlist contains 3000 songs: - to add a single song it will take 17 to 20 seconds.
If the playlist contains 4000 songs: - to add a single song it will take 27 to 30 seconds.

But if we add a song in the current playlist which has 5000 songs then it takes only 1 second which is fantastic.

Is there any other way to do reduce the time to add a song to saved playlist.

Please arrange some help at the earliest.

For information :- Test environment was
Songs are on NAS and NAS is mounted on PC
Network is Gigabit (Gbit)

I'd rather think it's a problem with those special characters than path

Recently upgraded to MacOS Sierra from OSX El Capitan. Not sure if my issue is related to the upgrade but I have been trying to enable the Spotify Protocol Handler. Keep being asked to Restart Now Restart Later and Plugin does not appear as an Active Plugin on each restart and the loop starts again. Also the Plugin is missing from the 3rd Party section. Philippe's repository is installed. Scanned the forum for similar issues but could not find any. Has anybody else come across this?

I guess you're talking about the web UI? Just force-reload it to make

Remove volume control for fixed volume sources

Hi!

I have a transporter hooked to my A/V Receiver and a piCorePlayer,Hifiberry hooked to a couple of active speakers. On both I'v set the output to 100% fixed for the obvious reason that I want to control volume on the A/V or speakers.
Yet, the volume bar is displayed in the LMS main window.

So I guess this is a feature request:
On fixed output volume sources remove the volume control on the LMS main window.

24/96 FLAC files streamed directly to Transporter not working properly

March 12, 2017, 12:51 pm
$

I recently downloaded some 24/96 FLAC files that I intended to play through my Logitech Transporter. I have a couple other Squeezeboxes, as well.

Initially I got sound, although the DAC reported 48 khz, rather than 96 khz. Logitech Media Server correctly identified the files as 24/96, but the currently playing file showed "converted to 705 kbps FLAC".

Then I realized that the Transporter was synchronized with the other Squeezeboxes in the house, and I thought that perhaps LMS was downsampling to the least common denominator. I know that the Transporter can handle 24/96 input, so I disconnected the synchronization. Now I don't get any sound through the system connected to the Transporter with 24/96 files, but it works fine with 16/44 files.

What do I need to do to get this working properly?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Michael
