SqueezePlay - No Logs? Well Logs but empty

$
0
0
I have found via the forum a few locations Ralph's version of SqueezePlay and I have installed quite a few.

On my windows box I see the following files being created

stderr-SqueezePlay.txt
stdout-SqueezePlay.txt

In the %temp% folder

The problem is nothing ever gets written to them - 0 bytes.

I need to debug a screen saver plugin I wrote and now I can't as there is no logs to tell me what is going on.

Anyone know how to enable the logs?

Or does anyone have the last official SqueezePlay from years and years ago?

INTERNET RADIO does not show up all the time

HI

I have noticed that the INTERNET RADIO seems to be capricious with me.
Sometimes there is nothing inside to be found after a rebooting for example.
But the funny thing is that if before stopping pcP I was on the radio (BBC4 for example), and after rebooting it, I can see that radio still on squeezer and I can start that radio again ? see image where the BBC4 is running

LMS no longer converting 24-bit files to MP3

I just started having a problem a few days ago... probably after trying to install a newer version os SOX... but LMS will no longer transcode any 24-bit FLAC files to MP3 to stream to my office SB3. I've never had this problem before and have tried every solution to solve it, without luck. At this point, I'm reverting to a TimeMachine backup from a week ago to see if that solve the issue.

Anyone else have an option for me?

Media scan terminating unexpectedly after tag updates (SBS 7.9.1)

$

Earlier today I copied some new audio files to my QNAP 219P under the Squeezebox shares and successfully ran 'rescan' to update LMS.

I then noticed that my tags where not quite right for the newly copied album as it had 'Various Artists' in the 'Album Artist' field which I absolutely hate so I put in the actual album artist using the latest version of MP3TAG 2.83, the original tags were written with 2.77 of the same program.

However whenever I try re-scan the library for changes it stops with ''Create library views (1 of 2) Complete 00:00:14
Media scan terminated unexpectedly (Scanning Progress)
Total Time: 00:08:10 (Sunday, August 6, 2017 / 2:03 PM)"

I took this as an opportunity to upgrade to the latest nightly of 7.9 from the '14900335303' version to ''1501791870'. I hoped this might kill two birds with one stone but it hasn't made a difference it is still failing at the same point.

Here is an extract from the scanner log:

Does anyone know what is wrong, and what I can do to fix it?

For the moment I just updated the offending album by using 'Music Folder' and playing the album and it now appears as the first entry under 'New Music'

I doubt the following info will be useful but I will include it just in case. I am on the QNAP firmware 4.3.3.0262 Build 20170727

LMS, pCP. Raspbery, & Spotty... playlists help needed!

$

Hi,

Posting this in the main LMS thread as not sure if it is to do with Raspberry, pCP, or SPOTTY!

Changed from ReadyNAS with LMS 7.9.1 to a Raspberry pi3 with pCP and LMS 7.9.1 so that I can enjoy SPOTTY, and it is great! Have now learned how to change file paths in my saved playlists so that I can point pCP LMS at the playlists folder in the ReadyNAS and it works (much thanks to kidstypike & d6jg for their help on how to do that). Have now noticed that any playlist that is totally made up of tracks from my own library works 100%. Any playlist that also includes any Spotify tracks will only display and play the Spotify tracks, omitting the tracks from my library.

First few lines of a m3u file with my library tracks only which plays correctly:
#CURTRACK 32
#EXTM3U

It doesn't make sense to me so any guidance appreciated.

This usually means you got temporarily blocked because of too many
requests. We've seen this happen every now and then. I never really
figured out what triggered the issue. But sometimes LMS would send
hundreds or thousands of login attempts within minutes.

Are you running 7.9.0 or more recent? I tried to mitigate the problem.
But I'm not sure whether it has been resolved really.

hi i recently got a tinkerboard and wanted to install Logitech Media Server on it.
But soon i was confronted with problems:

#### SQUEEZESERVER LOG ####
squeezeboxserver_safe started.
Logitech Media Server died. Restarting.
Logitech Media Server died. Restarting.
Logitech Media Server died. Restarting.
Logitech Media Server died. Restarting.

I think the problem has to do something with the cpan libraries of perl.
I reinstalled lms several times with different perl versions and different distros.#

Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance

Hello

I have a problem with a Logitech Media Server 7.9 Fedora 25 + kernel CCRMA.

LMS starts well, but Qobuz plugin for LMS works only if I restart manually LMS after boot up. It's a bit annoying :)

I tried to delay LMS start in boot up sequence of systemd but it does not work at all, it's not delayed.

What I did :I created a timer and a service in systemd.

What about antivirus? There have been reports about one AV vendor
blocking the file as malware. What product are you using?

Database corrupt and refuses to clean

$

Hi
I am running LMS version 7.8.1 on a Duet (Sun Sparc). I had tried version 7.9.0 but hated it, especially the way it indexes participants on other peoples albums as artists in their own right. But this post isn't about that, it's about 7.8.1.

A weird database corruption happened with Joni Mitchell's 'Blue' album. It has 8 tracks, lets say for simplicicity that the track titles are 'Track 1' to 'Track 8'. Instead of listing like this:
Track 1
Track 2
Track 3
Track 4
Track 5
Track 6
Track 7
Track 8

it started listing like this:
Track 1
Track 1
Track 1
Track 1
Track 1
Track 1
Track 1
Track 1
Track 2
Track 2
Track 2
Track 2
Track 2
Track 2
Track 2
Track 2
Track 3
...
(and so on - listing each track 8 times each).
Absolutely no amount of clearing the cach changed anything. So I tried an experiment and moved the album to a new folder, not called 'Joni Mitchell' like the original, but just called 'Joni'. I left all her other albums under 'Joni Mitchell'. It didn't change the problem, however, when I reverted the folder to it's original location, it now also lists the non-existent 'Joni' as well as the original problem.

So I uninstalled EVERYTHING possible - I ran the Clean Up on the databse from Frontview, then I deleted the LMS, ran the cleaner code (which I believe now no longer works as it cleans MySQL but apparently LMS now uses SQLlite - nice the tools are never updated. Then I reinstalled LMS, rescanned everything, and of course that changed exactly nothing. I have zero knowledge of Linux or whatever the NAS is running but I think I need a way to totally wipe the SQLite and get the LMS to repopulate it afresh. Can any kind and competent person help me through this tricky step please? Any nice GUI tools, if they exist, would be a God-send too. Whatever helps, really. Thank you!

Sorry for shouting, it's been a long time since I've been 'under the hood' LMS and 5 players work well with Triode's spotify plugin. Went on iPeng this morning and saw the flash up about the spotify plugin support changing and to move over to spotty. Clicked to install spotty in the repository and 'BOOM' LMS not worked since!

removed and reinstalled but wont work and comes up with the old 'possible software conflict' message. Running LMS on an old XP desktop with no changes for a number of years.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Performance using network drive for music storage? (LMS running in virtual machine)

$

Does anyone know if there's a major performance hit if you use a network storage device for your music?

I run LMS 7.9.0 on a Windows 2008 Server Virtual Machine, running on an ESXi host. My music is stored on a 4TB NTFS-formatted SATA drive. I've tried connecting this drive to the ESXi host machine in a couple of ways (e.g. internally connected directly to the SATA controller, and externally in a USB enclosure), and mapping it using RDM, but the VM environment doesn't handle it well at all - the disk always becomes corrupt after a relatively short period of time. Probably a hardware compatibility issue between the drive (a WD Blue) and ESXi. Or maybe the size of the drive is a problem for ESXi.

Anyway I'm now thinking of transplanting the drive to my Linux file server in the loft, and pointing LMS at it from the Windows VM downstairs, but wanted to get feedback on whether this is a good idea before I embark on the whole process.

Any views?

Controlling contributors in All artists view

I use iTunes integrations with my squeezeboxes and have the metadata set-up as follows: -

Album Artist = Conductor (most of the time)

Artist = Conductor OR Conductor/Soloist

Composer = Composer

I would like the "All artists" view to only show Artists plus Album Artists i.e. not include Composer. Is that possible?

Thanks,
Nicholas

What service have you been using? Shodan's maps look less detailed (at
least those I've seen).
