I think you can get this if the scanner fails abruptly during a full
rescan, for example if you kill the scanner process or it crashes.
Could this have been the case ?

I got something similar when I had some issue in an earlier version of
Custom Scan scan plugin in my development setup where I killed SBS
process since the query never seemed to finish. 

If the problem doesn't disappear, you can probably get around it by
manually deleting the squeezebox-scanner.db file but it feels like SBS
should be able to handle this itself if we are only talking about the
scanner.db.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] SBS 7.6.1 for FreeBSD

2011-08-01 Thread NeverSimple

 ..Everything built from the ports system uses perl 5.10..

Not sure I understand this. If I do a fresh install of FreeBSD 8.2, do
a 'freebsd-update' followed by 'portsnap fetch update' and nothing
more, than the Squeezeboxserver port (7.5.4) installs Perl 5.12.4 and
the latest MySql. Which both seem to be a problem when used with SBS
7.5.4 or lower.

You're totally right and it looks like I've wasted my time. The
packages index now lists 5.12 as the official perl for FreeBSD, it's
been updated since I last looked. I suppose that means it's nearly time
for FreeBSD 8.3. Bah.

The SBS developers use specific module version which they take copies
of, maintain and include, whereas the FreeBSD folks strive to have just
one version of each module or library, and they assume that the latest
versions don't break earlier functionality. This isn't always true.

Which leaves our FreeBSD-addicted SBS community with two choices: go
with the versions that the FreeBSD dudes put out and suffer the
occasional breakage, or use the Logitech releases/nightlies builds and
keep the old perl versions around just for SBS. And on the gripping
hand, DIY.

They gain:

- not having to update the skin to the new 7.6 code (lots behinds the
scenes has changed that affects the skins)
- not having to maintain the code in the extra skins in the future

It isn't just one skin that has been dropped, there are about 8 that
have gone. So they have saved themselves a considerable amount of
effort by dropping them.

On the plus side, someone in the community could update one or more of
the skins to work with 7.6 if they wanted to.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Handheld option disappears with SBS 7.6?

2011-08-01 Thread Phil Meyer
It seemed a strange choice to remove Handheld though, seeing that a lot of the 
population these days has smart phones, and there's no Logitech Apps for them.

Handheld was a simple, clean skin that worked well.  I wouldn't have thought it 
would take much to maintain.

Whereas they are still supporting Default and Classic; surely Default would do, 
and support Handheld instead of Classic?

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] playlist display broken?

2011-08-01 Thread JJZolx

Yes, I see the same thing, but only if I have 'Small Artwork' set in the
browse settings (from the drop down list that appears on other pages).

The display code for the web ui is intertwined in some really strange
ways. I think what you're seeing is the result of some recent changes
Michael made.

I guess the questions here are:

Do you want the playlist display controlled by that same
text/small/large artwork setting?

- If so, the drop down list of settings needs to be on any page where
they're applied.

Or do you always want small artwork?

- Small artwork needs to have the same three-line treatment as in the
current playlist, showing title, artist, album (and year?).

Or do you always want text only?

- For text-only do you use the Title Format setting or hard-code one?
If you do use the title format, then you need to inject 'by ARTIST' and
'from ALBUM' when they're not in the format string.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] playlist display broken?

2011-08-01 Thread JJZolx

Thinking about it a little more...

If you want the option of artwork in the playlist display, it would
make more sense to use the 'show/hide artwork' setting used for the
current playlist (or keep a separate cookie for the browse pane). And
exactly the same treatment and logic for either text-only or three line
small artwork. Both use the Title Format and add ARTIST and ALBUM if
necessary. The text-only lists add it on the same line, while the small
artwork display places them on separate lines.

The text-only/small/large artwork setting in the browse pane should
only be used for album lists.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] 7.6 Browse differences

2011-08-01 Thread Phil Meyer
 1. All Songs appears at the bottom of the list of albums, rather than
 at the top
I brought this up during the onebrowser testing. It was always at the
bottom in SqueezePlay and the ip3k interfaces, which works well in
those cases when you have just one list. But in the web interface it's
now located in an inconvenient place when the list is paged.

I think it might make more sense to put it at the top of any list, but not 
include it in the count of menu items.  e.g. on SB3, All Songs could be 
considered item 0 in the list, such that track num 10 is still the 10th item in 
the list.

There's a similar thing that happened in browsing artists. 'Various
Artists' used to be at the top of every page, but now it's only at the
top of the first page.

That makes sense.

 2. Items 1 to 52 of 172 appears above the alphabar in 7.5, and the
 page footer contains 172 albums with 5150 songs by 3 artists..  In
 7.6, this item count is in the page footer, and the album, song, artist
 counts don't appear at all.

This treatment isn't so bad in most places. At least it will keep
people from constantly bringing up some of the seemingly odd count
differences. But I do miss the old counts in certain places such as the
album and track counts that used be shown for an individual artist.

I miss it - it was quite useful to know how many songs there are in the current 
list, before pressing All Songs, for example.

 3. 7.6 seems to find different cover art, or at least searches in a
 different order.

No, that was an intentional change made by Andy. It _should_ still
prefer the old artwork filenames, but if none are found (and there's no
embedded artwork) then the scanner selects the first image file in the
directory (alphabetically, I believe). You may have uncovered a bug. I
have a lot of other artwork in my album folders and haven't seen this
yet.

I think it's ignoring folder.jpg when they are windows hidden files.  i.e. 
where Windows (WMP?) has fetched artwork and stored has hidden files.
I'll replace these with better artwork (I haven't got many), but some are hard 
to spot, as it then picks up other non-cover artwork, so it's not a case of 
looking for albums with missing covers.

I don't like it - I'd prefer if it didn't pick anything if it's not a name I've 
chosen for the scanner to find.  It just seems wrong to auto-detect any old 
file as an album cover.  Most times it will be wrong, and therefore not 
possible to query to find the missing ones :-(

Yes, that's a well known bug in 7.6.0 that should be fixed in 7.6.1.
You can also just unhide everything.

 name I've chosen for the scanner to find.  It just seems wrong to
 auto-detect any old file as an album cover.  Most times it will be

And in practice I don't think it works very well due to the unknown
dimensions of the 'random' first image that it finds. For example, if
it picks up a booklet scan that is twice as wide as tall, it looks
pretty awful.
