Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] 7.9 Problems/Bugs
I have noticed some MP3 albums now appear as multiple albums on 7.9.2 - 1544453860 @ Mon Dec 10 and the latest 7.9.2 - 1547616941 @ Wed Jan 16. The only thing I can see in the tags is if a track has unsynced lyrics and is followed by a track without lyrics (the unsynced lyrics tag missing) the next track with unsynced lyrics is treated as the first track of a new album with the same name and artwork. This appears in the Home / Albums display on the gui on a Vortexbox running Fedora 25. The same album in 7.9.2 - 1537430919 @ Thu Sep 20 is OK. A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

Version: 7.9.0 - 0.91.20150903git1441262387 @ Thu Sep 3 23:49:59 BST 2015 running on Vortexbox. Chasing an anomaly in my music library where 2 tracks of an album by "Everything but the Girl" appeared as a separate album by "Everything But the Girl", I changed the artist folder name from "Everything But the Girl" to "Everything but the Girl" and also changed the track names of several albums from "tracknum.title" to "tracknum - title" then did a New and Changed scan. Looking up Everything but the Girl in Album Artists lists the changed albums with each track as a separate album, see screen grab. A Clear & Rescan put things right and the offending 2 tracks were eventually found to have a composer of "Everything But the Girl" which overrode the artist name. +---+ |Filename: screen.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=18810| +---+ A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] 7.9 Problems/Bugs
Playlists are saved for a non-synced player at server shutdown and LMS will resume playing at the start of the track that was being played when shutdown was initiated. However, this doesn't work for synced players. A synced group of players will start somewhere on the playlist, usually quite a few tracks earlier than the last track playing at shutdown. This has been happening for a while, maybe since before 7.9 - I just lived with it until I saw this post http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?103755-loss-of-playlist&p=820549&viewfull=1#post820549. It becomes very evident if the master player of a sync group is using SugarCube to queue up tracks. Resuming play after a shutdown can start days earlier in a playlist. I'm not sure what the original design aim was for playlists of synced players, but I think that if a player is synced with another player then their playlists are common. Then when a server shuts down, for a synchronised group of players the current playlist should be saved for each player. This is not an earth shattering show stopper of a bug, just a nuisance when you become aware of it. And if you do revisit synchronisation of players, maybe the message "The player can be synchronized with other players, enabling them to play the same music simultaneously. Choose the players you would like to synchronize with from the list of available synchronization groups. Choose No Synchronization to stop synchronization." could be made more clear to indicate which player becomes master and which players are slaves as I always get a surprise as usually the wrong playlist starts playing when I sync players.

Everything working good with Erland's plugins? :cool: I only use Licence Manager and Trackstat from Erland and they both work fine. When you load the new 7.9 it will kick off a clear and rescan due to some db changes in December. There is a new Settings/Advanced/Performance/Memory that speeds up searches and scans (provided you have the RAM). The Full Text Search (FTS) is a winner, on by default - it is a plugin - that causes an extra step in the scan, takes a minute or so. However, a search is lightning quick and really good. Try 3 letters of an artist name and 3 letters of an album or song. After a few goes you will wonder how we ever used this server without it. For instance a search for dar si moo will bring up the album Dark Side of the Moon instantly, provided it is in your library. Michael has also fixed a bunch of old nagging bugs like the LMS web browser changing players when you don't want it to and a clear and rescan is hours faster on my system.

Michael, I suggest that the "mysqueezebox.com tab" be renamed "Email Address" as a means to get the user's email address and add a heading along the lines of "Your email address and password are required so that Logitech and other service providers can identify this computer." Then functionally, you still store the email address in the same variable names so that third party plugins like Erland's will continue to work. A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Scan doesn't find new artists if there is more than one artist
Michael, I think frank1969 has hit on the missing element of your recent excellent work on Browse Modes - we don't really know what each option does. For instance, the My Music / Browse Artists "i" just says Browse Artists. Could the "i" list what the two options do - for example Use two separate lists for Album Artists and All Artists - Album Artists is a list where Album Artist is the sole artist on an album or is the artist specified in the "Albumartist" tag. All Artists is a list of every artist that appears in the "Artist" tag. Use single, configurable list of artists - This is configured in the Additional Browse Mode plugin. Then in Player / Additional Browse Modes there is the option to select menu names. Again for each row could there either be a "Contains" column or an "i" field such as: Album Artists - the sole artist on an album or the artist specified in the "Albumartist" tag. Artists - the sole artist on an album All Artists - a list of every artist that appears in the "Artist" tag. Albums - a list of the "Album" tag. Random Albums - a random list of albums. Compilations - a list of albums that are compilations (compilation tag = 1 or multiple artists in the artist tag) etc. This probably shows my lack of understanding on how these extra browse modes are meant to work.

OK, I accept that. It's not how I use compilations - I define a compilation as an album with different Artists and set Compilation=1 and Album Artist to Artist. However, I have found a few compilations (from my early days when I first started with a white Slim Devices SB3) that do not have Compilation=1 and Album Artist is blank but do have different Artists - these albums list with album name and no artist. So, ignore my suggestion, as when the Album Artist tag is blank, only the album name will appear. In fact I question why I set the compilation flag and the album artist field A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Plugin to test database tweaks
Today I downloaded 7.9.0 - 1399649268 @ Sat May 10 and installed it onto my Win 7 i3-4130 workstation and the recently replaced (by VortexBox) Win 7 AMD E-350 1.6GHz HTPC. The music libraries were synced with the VortexBox, giving me 3 systems of varying power with their own local disks containing the same music library. The two Win boxes have 2 x Samsung 2TB drives, the VortexBox has a 4TB Seagate drive for music. All have SSD drives for the system disk. The Win boxes have had the RAMDisk removed. I ran clear and rescans on each system and then a bunch of lookups - New Music, search artist for "the girl", album browse and artist browse. The AMD E-350 system performs so well I need not have gone and replaced it by the VortexBoxes. New Music is almost instant, browse by Artists can take a second or two after selecting a letter and the artist picture is a bit slow but not unacceptable. Browse by Albums takes 2 to 3 seconds per change of letter for the albums to appear, but again, not unacceptable. The i3 powered workstation is a bit quicker but not twice as fast.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] 7.9 scanner problem - not removing redundantitems?
Philip, I don't think a new and changed scan has ever removed redundant entries. Just recently while testing the Tweak DB plugin one of the searches I ran was search artists for "the girl" which returned a bunch of artists including both Everything *B*ut the Girl and Everything *b*ut the Girl. After fixing these I ran a new and changed scan on both LMS 7.8 on my new VortexBox and 7.9 on my workstation and the redundant entries are still there in both systems. I have just accepted that a clear and rescan is the only way to remove redundant entries, but it would be good if Michael could nail this while he is in scan fixing / database tweaking mode.

Frustrating because I expected New Music to take as long as a wet week like it used to, the same for some other look-ups, then, I expected to see some dramatic improvement with Tweak Buffer set to 500. However, the difference was barely noticeable and certainly hard to measure - nothing like the speed up I got when I loaded cache into a RAMDisk (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?99414-LMS-with-a-RAM-disk). Also frustrating because the RAMDisk had masked the speedups that had been achieved. Can you get the Scanner to observe the Tweak Buffer size ? A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

I thought it might shrink after some time but after very limited testing and observation it appears to remain allocated. However, modern operating systems are very good at paging out memory that is not accessed after a period of time, depending on memory availability. But with 8GB ram, the system is not going to run short. With Tweak Buffer set to 500 it has only grown by 300, and after re-booting and running a whole bunch of look-ups, New Music browses etc it is currently sitting at SQUEEZ~3.EXE0 508,512 526,964 22,324 504,640 with the look-ups etc being very quick.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Plugin to test database tweaks
Back from the sticks for a day. First off, I have moved my LMS servers from Windows to VortexBox 2.3, but my workstations are still on Win 7 with SSD and RAMDisk, so I changed CACHE from RAMDisk to a fragmented WD 640Gb work disk for this testing. Logitech Media Server Version: 7.8.0 - 1395409907 @ Thu Mar 27 20:19:17 CUT 2014 Hostname: Gladstone, Intel Q9450 2.7GHz Quad Core 8GB RAM Total Tracks: 144,947, Total Albums: 11,302, Total Artists: 3,146, Total Genres: 104 Tweak Buffer Size - 20 Starting LMS took more than 10 minutes after moving the CACHE from R:\ to E:\ , Windows Task Manager showed LMS was reading Persist.db and Library.db . Browse New Music - alsmost instant (used to stop server and music playback for a minute or two - the reason I went to RAMDisk !) Search Albums for "the girl" - first time took 54 seconds, player stopped with re-buffering. Second search almost instant. New Albums 2 seconds. This is frustrating, most searches are returned in 1~2 seconds where a year ago they would lock up the server and stop the players. Memory :Hard Faults/sec - Commit (KB) - Working Set (KB) - Shareable (KB) - Private (KB) SQUEEZ~3.EXE0 - 314,692 - 332,528 - 23,044 - 309,484 Tweak Buffer Size - 500 Searches are returned in 1~2 seconds, New Music almost instant, New Albums 2 seconds. Memory Usage SQUEEZ~3.EXE0 - 435,664 - 450,940 - 23,044 - 427,896 Restarted LMS with Tweak Buffer set to 500, took almost 3 minutes, however search albums for "the girl" almost instant. Other searches, New Music, New Albums and memory useage are as above. Back to the farm for a few days then down the coast for more testing. These results show the great work already done in optimising LMS 7.8 , and I think that a cut down version of this plugin with just the memory slider should be included in LMS as a Settings / Performance function. It also shows me that RAMDisk is no longer needed for Windows. A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

My reading of the SQLite blurb is that code written for earlier versions will run on the latest version. It has always been a Systems Manager's dilemma whether to upgrade the database engine when a new release is made. In the old mainframe and then the super mini computer days we based our decisions on the track record of the database vendor, the hearsay from user groups and finally whether our programmers had written code extracting every last bit of performance (often exploiting undocumented features) or just vanilla code. The vendors also held a stick over our heads with "end of support" dates. My thinking was that if you could update SQLite in 7.9 and tell us in the 7.9 thread then the guinea pigs amongst us would try it out and report back. But maybe it is not that simple As to the option to use extra ram, I and others (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showth...hlight=ramdisk) have boosted the speed of New Music and other browsing functions by installing RAMDisk on Windows for libraries over 100,000 tracks. My thinking was that if more of the database was in ram then it would perform better and avoid having to fiddle about with RAMDisk. As I have just discovered after converting an old Win XP box to VortexBox 2.3, SQLite performance on Windows (XP and Win 7) for 100,000 track databases is abysmal compared that on Linux.

Another option in Settings / Performance to use more memory for computers with > 3GB RAM - as an attempt to get some lookups e.g. new music, to perform better on Windows based servers.

I noticed that SQLite is now up to 3.7.17 (http://www.sqlite.org/releaselog/3_7_17.html) and has the option of Memory Mapped I/O which according to their blurb (http://www.sqlite.org/mmap.html) can make I/O intensive operations much faster in some circumstances (whether LMS will benefit is beyond my knowledge). Would it be a big deal to incorporate SQLite 3.7.17 in 7.8 with the Memory Mapped I/O being enabled by the Settings/Advanced/Performance/Database Memory Config "High" option ?

I check http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.6 to see the latest version number, then go to http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim/7.6/?view=log to see what changes have been applied since the version I am running. As far as I can tell, the nightly version number is a snapshot at a particular time in the stream of development submissions. Then I make a judgement on whether there is any benefit in upgrading or if there is a risk of calamity. Finally, I check the Beta forum (this forum) to see if anyone is flagging a problem in a later version than I am running. Very occasionally, one of the developers will ask for testing of a new function and if I can contribute I will. -- Wirrunna A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] 7.6 cliff notes
I have been using 7.6 for a while now, and since the scanning issues that Erland referred to have been fixed, I'm very happy with it. As 7.6 uses SQLite and 'one browser', some of the plugins have been affected. Of the plugins I use, only LazySearch still needs some updating. Spicefly SugarCube has been greatly enhanced to take advantage of SQLite, TrackStat was updated recently and Server Power Control has a swag of enhancements (although I don't think Server Power Control was affected by either SQLite or one browser). I recall that some of the more knowledgeable have recommended clearing cache before installing from a MySQL version. Also, there is an option to use more memory in your server, (Settings/ Advanced/ Performance ...) which decreases the scanning time. -- Wirrunna A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.
