Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Need help to verify duplicate detection
maybe a multipass detector then? first pass, your current exact method, seems to work well. second, slower pass, an audio fingerprint is made, and comparisons then result in percent of likelihood something might be a dupe? it would be cool if it could be done such that these dupes were presented in such a way that the user could click and listen to judge for themselves, and delete if need be. or reject the dupe as a false positive, and report that to a central net source, to improve detection methods. maybe also develop tags that can be inserted, like a TXXX frame for hash and another for fingerprint ID?

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Need help to verify duplicate detection
hey Erland, couldn't the detector do degrees? meaning, exact matches would be 100% certainty, but other files could be reported to be 98% likely to be dupes, that kind of thing? thats what i would need, something that gave me percentages, b/c i believe i'll have lots of things that to me, are dupes, but wouldn't pass the 100% exact match test.

u might find its better to run LMS as a service, so that way, server will run, wake the machine, etc, even if someone is not logged into the machine. at that point, slimtray should always work and show, as long as you configure windows to always show it.

Erland, you say votes and forums etc are no good for the devs to take cues from... so just how then do you propose they do it? u make some valid points but you seem to have a defeatist attitude. i don't mean that in a personal way, but when you say "you've given up" etc it seems that way. they used to ENCOURAGE VOTING, like Chris Owens, logitech employee, remember him??? now thats no good? i haven't given up in the sense that i do think a reasonable, non-personal argument can be made that the devs, who btw WORK FOR LOGITECH, (i don't accept this deflection argument of good guys vs bad guys, which is insane in a corporate environment, you all are one entity imo), should takes cues to the roadmap from votes for bug tracker. how is that not reasonable? michael says they do, but when u have a bug like 142 sit DEAD for as long as it does, how can anyone believe that? frankly, it seems to me it is completely reasonable to suggest that they could implement ONE top ten voted bug per official release. bluegaspode;695841 Wrote: > You won't ever find a company that commits to anything like that. > > So for me a statement like > > is good enough. > It shows that people still care which matters a lot in big companies > and which gives me hope (on the long run). well, we disagree. i think its completely reasonable. and THEY encouraged it, don't forget that. the posts of them doing so are right in these very forums. bluegaspode;695841 Wrote: > And come on: it won't ever matter how many votes bug 15604 will get. > It's a highly debatable bug report: making UI more versatile vs. more > clumsy to new users so it will always be up to a product manager what > he personally prefers and if it matches his vision of the product. > This has nothing todo with ignoring votes altogether this has nothing to do with 15604, that was just an example, just as 142 is an example. http://bugs.slimdevices.com/buglist.cgi?chfieldto=Now;query_format=advanced;chfieldfrom=2010-01-01;votes=40;bug_status=UNCONFIRMED;bug_status=NEW;bug_status=ASSIGNED;bug_status=REOPENED;bug_status=RESOLVED;bug_status=VERIFIED;bug_status=CLOSED take your pick there of the highest voted bugs.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS moving forward?
it seems to me that they need a new, cheaper piece of hardware, that has no display, that will do audio and video. sound familiar? i said it years and years ago. apparently apple was eavesdropping. given that server does video now, and dlna, the above just seems so obvious to me. if apple can sell a tiny box for $99 that does 720p, surely logitech can figure out how to do 1080p for a few dollars more?

It is just too buggy. personally, i think the devs should do their main testing on windows machines, and everything else after, since it is undoubtably windows more than anything else people run server on. however, the devs don't "live" in windows, and so it always seems to me that those server versions only get properly looked after when windows users report back to the devs the problems they find in windows. jmho, don't bite my head off. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 ie9 & xp pro sp3 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90320 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

Erland, i think we basically agree. if i ran logitech my goal would be the following: design a displayless, totally silent (save for some leds u could disable) "revue 2" which has the server built inside, along with its "player side." make it slim proto compliant. make it able to power many clients in snyc and as many other dlna/upnp devices as possible. make it able to record audio and video, and make it work with "cablecards." if possible, integrate with a program guide, maybe a free one? put some limited onboard storage in, like an 8GB smartcard. let it use USB 3.0 storage and let it map network location for shared storage. make it integrate with mysb so a user could watch and listen to their stuff online via the site, (protecting copyrights via login). make it a fully "open" android platform, that doesn't need rooted, and have LMS run on droid. use latest droid OS. add an app that would update your LMS and via user initiation allow logitech to remotely troubleshoot it. call it a dream box. but if one existed, i would pay $300-$400 for it, maybe more if it was done really well. i would also NOT put wifi in it, recommend most users to ethernet wire it to the router. but i would make a usb wifi dongle available, at an extra price. no remote either, besides a very basic infrared. encourage cell phones, idevices, or harmonies. so, what do you think of that? it might sound daunting and dreamlike, but if logitech doesn't do it, someone else will. the tivo is an example. the good thing is that you could do it in pieces, and a lot of it would be updated for you. meaning: the droid OS would handle lots of it, in a single api. the wifi for instance. and LMS could be the "player" while a totally different app could handle the cablecard and recording only. after that, then u could do the mysb integration. in other words, you wouldn't have to roll everything out at once. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 ie9 & xp pro sp3 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90063 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Squeezeboxes UPnP/DLNA client ?
from what i can tell, you want a hardware client that can be used by any DLNA/upnp server, correct? so why not get a $99 revue then? or some other dlna client? obviously logitech has little interest in making their hardware dlna clients, although i agree its a good idea, and just as crazy, the revue doesn't support slim proto and one wonders who runs logitech that the revue wasn't designed from day one to be a slim client. btw, several years ago i argued that these guys should monitize the server by selling a small, silent, displayless box that runs a local server and that they can remotely enter to troubleshoot and update, and concentrate on only developing that. they could either depricate all the other flavors or leave the changes and updates to be done by the community. i would have paid for such a server box. (u could either connect storage to it, or map a location[s] for it) still, having said all that, the server does have HQ audio sound, and i think a free server that does video and pictures and audio well could lead to hardware adoptions. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 ie9 & xp pro sp3 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90063 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

This One is new since a few days. well, a few things... mp3tag uses TPE2 to = ALBUMARTIST and has for a while now. the SBS default is for TPE2 to = ALBUMARTIST as well. so, assuming you have mp3/id3 type files, the question is do they have ALBUMARTIST values at all, and if so, are they the TPE2 kind, or TXXX ALBUMARTIST kind? either way, i would set LMS to treat TPE2 as ALBUMARTIST, and not BAND. also make sure your group compilations together. once you properly set your options, checked your tags, cleared your cache, and did a full clear and rescan, and then restarted LMS, if you still had a problem then the signs would point to LMS, but a close examination of your files and tags and stray tag entries would still be needed. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 ie9 & xp pro sp3 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90091 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

So if they have Album artist/composer > tagged, they wanna "use" it best way possible... i don't think "illegal" files or bad tags have anything to do with this. most "legal" apps put AA tags on everything, and some don't. those that don't usually use comp tags instead. but i think this points out an entirely different issue that logitech is studiously avoiding: SBS works by creating "one master list" of artists. you can not easily switch between browsing your AA tags and your artist tags, on the fly, and without switching options and rescanning, etc... its just a PITA. SBS will assign an AA role to something even if you have no AA tags, which a lot of users don't understand. and to make things worse, SBS [potentially] assigns 3 roles for only two tags. there are SO many issues revolving around this paradigm, its crazy. i can't think of ANY other software that has a "home>whatever" structure, or any other software that doesn't let you easily switch on the fly between browsing artists and album artists, just as an example. SBS is voodoo, it is arbitrary as pretty much everyone has admitted in this thread. in any case Frank, i think erland alluded to a potential solution, one that sounds good to me. SBS could provide multiple links where results would be filtered: contributer AA A Composer instead of just the one link it does now. but maybe that isn't easy to do, or takes up too much space, i don't know.

I guess this is bad if a scan is also running. thats an interesting point... in winamp, you can initiate a rescan, and while its going on, you can still make tag edits/updates via the ML (idx DB), and they will persist regardless of if the files are in front of, or behind, the present "location" of the rescan at that moment. i'll have to ask them how they do that, but i always guessed that a scan worked in a temp area until completed, then after that merged in any changes that occured after the scan started, then only when that completed did it replace the current "working" DB. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 & xp pro sp3 ie9 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89513 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

great breakdown, thx. just fyi, everything i read says 4.0 is for ALL android devices, ie. form factors. the rush behind it is so that developers have one api to develop for, that works on all form factors. restricting the marketplace from the revue is one good reason its failed so far! how stupid is that??? i hope you're right a new firmware gets an uncensored market. also, i wonder if SP-droid app will work or be included in the next update? if they put a tiny LMS in the revue, that would be a pretty killer product. finally a self contained solution! -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 & xp pro sp3 ie9 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86628 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

i understand, and presumably that would still occur with an AA tag present as well. but i'm asking a different question. under home>albums, sorted by artist, (like as in "artist, year, album") your album would only show up once, under one of the artists. so, knowing that, i ask again: my question to Phil L is, does he care where the album shows up? and wouldn't it be better to force it via AA tag, as I and M Herger suggest, then have it be more or less random between multiple tags? -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 & xp pro sp3 ie9 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89042 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

i forgot that, but its the same question...
if you have multiple AA tags, where does it sort in home>albums?
somehow, having multiple AA tags seems like a bad idea to me, but
figuring out where to sort Phil L's album is really the one ringing my
bell! (sorry jim, it intrigues me!)

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Bug NOT fixed (only showing one artist or composer as artist...)
ok, and again i think i follow you and that sounds correct... (i am assuming that the albums.contributor table is where AA tags get written to, and / or where SBS writes a value of "Various Artists" if it detects a comp, and / or where it writes the artist tag values if all tracks share the same artist value, yes?) but thats also the rub! how does it determine which of the two to use in our problematic example? in other words, where would i find the album, and the obvious question is why one place/artist and not the other one? (and vice versa) since the album can only be listed once (in home>albums) it sounds like you're saying its basically going to be random as to which artist it shows up under, (at least from the avg user POV, assuming any avg users tag this way), and this is why, personally speaking, i'd rather just assign an AA tag and take the guesswork out of it. am i off base here? or is that a correct summation? -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 & xp pro sp3 ie9 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89042 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Bug NOT fixed (only showing one artist or composer as artist...)
interesting. you have an album with no defined AA but multiple artists on each track but not a comp. so what should SBS use for its AA field since it will ALWAYS put something? it could list the same album twice, (meaning, each artist becomes a single AA), but that seems unwieldy. perhaps the AA should be some kind of X + Y result, so the AA above would be: Roadrunner by Mark Knopfler & Emmy Lou Harris where Mark is X and Emmy is Y but the two together with the & to join them (and others if present) becomes the single AA. all the more reason tho imo, to assign an AA in the tag to begin with. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 & xp pro sp3 ie9 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89042 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

wow, what a MESS. this is why you should have one DB field for one tag, and thats it. and comp tags shouldn't be this impactful. all they should do is classify or further clarify comp status to SBS, but the two roles in the DB for AA and TA should not be impacted by them. this has been coming to a head for a long time now. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 & xp pro sp3 ie9 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89088 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] SBS 7.6 - bug 17340 query
just speaking theoretically... if the AA tag is useless and redundant in most cases, then what harm is there in applying a AA tag value to everything you have? SBS assigns an AA value whether you have an AA tag or not. so why wouldn't "best practices" of tagging be to have both AA tags and A tags on everything you scan? eliminate all guesswork? take an occassionally unpredictable variable out of the equation? i found, long ago, that was in fact, the best way to do it to get a similar exp across all apps, including SBS. what exactly is the downside, other than redundancy? one can still add comp tags of either type if desired/necessary. so i just don't see why there is resistence to adding AA tags? -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 & xp pro sp3 ie9 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89088 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Bug NOT fixed (only showing one artist or composer as artist...)
totally agree. so dopey to have three roles for two tags. and then add the ability to browse either AA or TA on the fly. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 & xp pro sp3 ie9 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89042 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

just a shot in the dark Frank, but when you drill down to song info level and view tags in SBS, does it show what you know to be correct tags as per say mp3tag? -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 & xp pro sp3 ie9 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89042 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

i, proudly, have absolutely nothing to do with twits.
