I use WiFi Analyzer regularly to make sure my channel is not getting stepped on by a neighbor but it's a good idea to test that. I'm leaning towards a disk issue. I checked my Windows System Event log and found some warnings related to paging errors on the USB drive. I agree that it's not likely not an inherent LMS bug, but it's a problem that I was having some difficulty track down the cause of and getting some fresh perspective here is generally helpful.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] 7.9 Problems/Bugs
It's the Win7 computer that has the issue. It never sleeps. The internal disks (SSD and 3 x 3TB HDs) SMART stats all look good. I can do a chkdsk on the external USB3 drive to see if it has a problem but I would expect other, more serious problems to show up, particularly when copying files to and from that drive. I'll try to make note about what drive a file is on when it happens the next few times to see if there is any correlation. Not sure that it matters but I do sync a SB3 and a Boom. the SB3 is ethernet and the Boom wireless (93% signal strength) on the same subnet. Other than my phone, it's the only thing on the wireless. There's never been an issue syncing. Thanks for comments and suggestions.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] 7.9 Problems/Bugs
This has been happening for a while and I can't pinpoint why. I'll queue up a couple of hundred songs (maybe 20 albums) and without any apparent pattern, a song will not play to the end and the next song will start playing. It's fairly jarring as the one song ends abruptly and the next one starts up. Might not happen at all for quite a few songs and then happens again. I can go back to the song that skipped and it will play through without any issues. Then it won't happen for another 10 or 20 or X files and will happen again. I thought it might be because I was running an older build (I think from last Sept) so I installed the latest nightly and it just happened about 8 songs after the playlist started up again. I don't see anything unusual in the logs but I don't know what to look for or which options I should set to get more detail. Any thoughts on how to track this down?

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Scanner not progressing past "Building full text index (Albums)"
I decided to remove the full text search plugin and doing so allowed a scan for changed and new to complete without any issues. I suppose now I will try re-enabling the plugin and see if that part of the scan will work now that the other pieces have completed successfully. Everything else including the sub-library demo with my custom Smart Mix query and Smart Mix itself using that sub-library appears to be working just fine.

[SlimDevices: Beta] Scanner not progressing past "Building full text index (Albums)"
This weekend I updated a friend's LMS server to the nightly build from Sat Apr 30 (1461959934 running on Windows Server 2012 Standard). All seemed well until the scanner stopped progressing at "Building full text index" as shown here: 20391 The "Abort scan" button wouldn't actually stop the scan. I was able to set the scanner logging options to debug, stop and restart the server and I get this occurring repeatedly at the end of the system log: [16-05-02 05:56:28.0351] Slim::Schema::Storage::throw_exception (122) Error: Carp::Clan::__ANON__(): DBI Exception: DBD::SQLite::st execute failed: database is locked [for Statement "UPDATE metainformation SET value = ?

More than anything else I determined that I didn't need to change the version of LMS I'm using as it currently meets my needs. As for organizational issues, I do a considerable amount of hardcopy and electronic records management and the issues related to maintaining them, particularly alpha based record series that grow without bound (like our music libraries) are not easily solved. For myriad reasons, the "ideal" solution is rarely the one that is implemented due to financial and, in the case of government entities, political or statutory constraints. I really do have well thought out reasons for my JBOD approach to implementing LMS with the pros significantly outweighing the cons. I just don't necessarily want to have an in depth discussion of those reasons on an open forum with unknown screen avatars. Thanks again!

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] 7.9 Problems/Bugs
Some combination of my last test worked! After resetting the logging to defaults, I decided that I would not only remove the file from the playlists directory, but also delete the playlist from the LMS interface. After rescanning for playlists only, I also edited the file to change it's time and date stamp and add a known (extra) invalid item. I copied the file back into the playlists directory and did another scan for playlists only. The warnings now appear in the scanner.log as before and I have a relatively easy, known process to detect invalid entries in the future. Thanks for the assistance.

My > scan log settings are below. An excellent idea. I was thinking that by removing the list and rescanning, references to it would no longer be in the database and after putting it back in and scanning, LMS should treat it as a new playlist with invalid entries that should generate the warning entries. And that seems to be the case as it's no longer listed in the interface after removing it and rescanning. But, what the hell, if you are still interested in solving this little mystery I guess I should continue to investigate...

Thanks for your suggestions and for not being an on-line douchebag. I've spent the last thirty years providing tech support in one form or another and no one likes that guy that tries to make you feel bad. I changed all the scan log settings to debug and ran it both as a new and changed and playlists only. No log entries for the missing playlist items in either the scanner.log or server.log So at this point I give up.

I get that you think you're the smartest guy in the room and are looking for every opportunity to show that. But very little of what you post is actually helpful because you are too busy trying to be clever. The *problem* (see the thread title) I'm experiencing has to do with logging missing playlist entries. It's not about disk management or how I choose to organize my files. It's about whether an item missing from the playlist is logged properly. On my system I have not found a combination of log settings/scan methods that result in the log entries being written. If you have something *useful* to impart with respect to that issue, I would welcome the information (for example, what are the scan.### settings on the system which you tested your minimalist case?) Keep in mind, just because you can demonstrate a way that LMS does what we expect does not rule out the possibility of a configuration which misbehaves in some fashion.

At the heart of the issue is the sheer number of artists and tracks in the library. It's very big. There are 10 or so playlists of anywhere between 300 - 500 tracks each. Any bulk moves I might do will likely only affect a small number of tracks in those playlists (or none at all). But I can't remember every single artist and track in each list, so I would have to go through every list and review every track, somewhat tedious but doable (which is what I'm going to do now if I can't get the log entries to appear). But with the logging, I can easily what is typically the small number of tracks which need to be corrected and which playlists they are in. In practice, it's quite effective compared to anything else I've attempted. > > What I'm suggesting would be to organize your library something like: > > D:\a\Al Green > D:\b\B.B.

Something > that you could easily script. Apart from the incredible amount of work that would go into such a reorganization, it would still be more work than finding the few exceptions in the log file. I know right now that there are about 60 tracks that need to be corrected in one of those playlists by comparing an older LMS install with the one I'm working with now. But I don't know which of the over 500 tracks are in that playlist, although I can guess at many of them based on the artist moves I've made. And yes, I used to do a search and replace based on the entries in the log file, so it was fairly quick.

The short answer is that I didn't need to; If I'm moving hundreds of artist directories around, it was much easier to just let the scanner highlight them for me. And, as much as possible for reasons I don't want to get into here, I don't want (or need) to obfuscate the physical drive references. > When I have had a playlist error like this during scanning it has always > showed in the log, repeatedly, with enough information for me to track > it down, until I fixed it.

All entries are still in the playlist file, but I still have the logging issue to deal with. Any thoughts on which of the multiple logging settings will let me know that an item was not found during scanning? I've tried setting the file and playlist scanning items to debug, info, warn and error. Debug is way too verbose (and may not even have the info I'm seeking) but none of the others seem to provide that specific info. Right now my only option seems to be to manually go through every one of hundreds of playlist entries and compare each to the physical file directories to find mismatches, something that humans don't do that well compared to computers.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] 7.9 Problems/Bugs
For as long as I can remember, when I moved music files around on my LMS server, usually to rebalance the amount of used/free space across a number of HDs, if one of my playlists referred to one of the moved files, I would see an entry in the server/scanner log that the file couldn't be found but the playlist would not be modified so I could manually edit it and correct the item to use the new file location. It now appears that if an item in a playlist is not found, it is deleted from the playlist. I don't know if there is an entry written to the log because it also appears that the scanner log is overwritten every time so I can't scroll back through previous scans to see what might have happened. I am strongly opposed to deleting items from playlists! It takes a lot of thought and time to create them and I don't want them to be modified without my specific instructions/actions to do so. I'm hoping that I have an older copy of a couple of the key party playlists that will still have the entries that were removed. And yes, I realize that I should back them up, not just replicate them, but I really didn't expect LMS to be changed in such a way that it would modify them without my knowledge. My requests would be to restore the previous behavior, write a log entry that the file cannot be found but leave the playlist unmodified, and to append scans to the scanner log, not overwrite it each time. I (and anyone else) can easily choose to periodically reset/delete the log if necessary, but it's considerably more effort to remember to archive the old log before running another scan to avoid losing it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] 'Love is in the air' Library View
You can easily tweak existing library views or add your own by editing the plugin.pm that comes with the demo. Fairly simple SQL statements can be used to generate them although the comments imply that it's possible to do considerably more complex processing. My own goal is to use my existing Smart Mix library view and be able to eliminate duplicate Artist + Song Title entries so that I don't have 96 versions of Aqualung by Jethro Tull using 95 entries of the 100,000 TEN will process. I haven't given it a lot of thought yet but so far it's a fairly simple concept that is not obvious (to me) how to code.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 Search Functionality Enhancements
Would it be possible to add something to search to help organize the results? I've had to do about 400 searches in the past day or so as I look for whether I have specific songs used for an event. I needed "Fever" by Sarah Vaughan. Searching for fever alone brings back a ridiculous number of results, sorted by no discernible order. Searching for Sarah Vaughan does the same. Combining them in advanced search was better but I can see scenarios when what I really want is all occurrences of a song and it would be nice to be able to sort in a meaningful way. The other thing I'd like is an exact match option. If I'm looking for the song "Get Ready" I get over 100 matches as shown below, organized in no specific order. There's no way to see all the different versions of the song in one place without making my number of items to display setting uncomfortably high. 16426 +---+ |Filename: search.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=16426| +---+ Win7Pro(x64)[3.3Ghz i5, 8GB RAM, 120GB SSD system, 15TB storage], LMS 7.9.0 -> Logitech Squeezebox Classic V.3 -> Cambridge Audio DacMagic -> NAD C160 -> 2 x NAD C272 -> Quad 22L2 get.amped's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10022 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101727 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

That question was in the context of the discussion about memory usage. Yes, LMS is single threaded but it certainly runs better on a multicore system so it doesn't need to compete (as much) with other processes on the system. I've been using HP microserver G7 boxes (AMD Turion II CPU) and they work quite well for this purpose. "Older Days" as in pre-Xeon CPU architecture: Pentium, Pentium II, Pentium III. I still have a dual Pentium III box running from the late '90s although it is slated to be decommissioned soon and its functionality replaced by a VM.

Prior to 7.9 if I was just changing just the tags on an album but not file names, I would remove the re-tagged album sub-directory from the music library hierarchy, rescan for changed and new to remove it from the database, move it back into the music library and rescan for changed and new again. That almost always produced the desired results and takes a small fraction of the time of a full rescan and I can continue to listen to other music while it's happening. But recently I've found that I can re-tag, bump the timestamp +5 seconds (so it gets identified as changed by the scanner but keeps the album in the correct place in New Music) and rescan for changed and new without any problems. I've done lots of clean-up of artist names, genres and years and it's worked well. But this may be the first time since using 7.9 I only changed the album name and specifically, one letter in the name from lower to upper case.

It was a new and changed scan. I do periodically clear the cache and do a full rescan (at least twice a year due to the daylight savings "issue"). But a moving a few thousand tracks is not in the "major change" category for my library. But it's good to know that, with the currently installed version, I might as well do so if I were to move around 12 thousand or so tracks since then a full rescan is likely to be the same, if not shorter.

So, probably later this week, I'll get the latest nightly, move another few thousand files, rescan and post the results. I did find something else that might be worth reporting as a bug but I want to verify reproducibility first. I added an album (Fenci's Blues), but didn't notice that the "B" was actually a "b" until after scanning. So I used MP3tag to fix the tag, and BulkFileChanger to bump the timestamp 5 seconds and then rescanned.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Scanner/LMS display of the same album by the same artist, different releases

[SlimDevices: Beta] Scanner/LMS display of the same album by the same artist, different releases
I have a lot of albums with multiple releases. I put them in different directories with "[remastered]" or "[reissue]" or similar after the album name to distinguish them from the original release. If I also tag an album with that additional suffix, the scanner clearly treats it as a different album and it shows up separately in LMS. If I have two different versions, one MP3 in the O:\Lossy hierarchy and one FLAC in the M:\FLAC-1 hierarchy, they can have the same album tag and they show up as separate albums in LMS. But if I have two FLAC versions, both in the M:\FLAC-1 hierarchy with the same album tag, but in different sub-directories as above, they get grouped together in LMS as a single album. Is this the expected/desired behavior? I will probably retag a number of albums that are exhibiting this issue since there is some value in knowing which release is which at a glance, but I would still like to know whether this is as designed or should be reported as a bug.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Seperate menus for Album Artist in 7.9
I'm guessing that the list of genres that appears below the Additional Browse Modes settings is to make it easier to fill in those text boxes. Any chance that list can be alpha sorted?

I'm just going to use mp3tag to save one album from each of those directories so they have the current time. Later today I'll be able to add new albums. In each case, I should see the changed albums appear as the first entries in New Music. Anything else I should check or does that cover it?

I had already started a clear cache and full rescan tonight which should be done in another 1 1/2 hours. It seems to take about 1 hour per 100K tracks.

When I'm building new playlists, I often do so on my secondary system by adding songs into the Now playing list. Probably not realistic for many (most?)

I should probably see if any of them are actually easier than what I do now when manually editing the .m3u files in Wordpad. The big disadvantage I can forsee with a desktop app is that it won't have access to the LMS database to search for tracks. My guess is that it will still be a matter of identifying tracks of interest in LMS and then manually finding that track in the file system to add it to the playlist. I do that now using Windows Explorer, shift-right click on the file I want and select "copy as path" from the context menu, then paste into the .m3u file in Wordpad. If I had any competency at all in Perl I would load a Linux build of LMS in a VM and see what I could do about creating a playlist editor plugin. It's got to be one of the easiest file structures to deal with since you can throw away pretty much everything except the initial #CURTRACK and #EXTM3U comments and just work with the list of fully qualified file names, one per line. The Javascript for the drag and drop behavior can probably be cribbed from the existing Now playing code. The most interesting part would be integrating search functionality within the editing to be able to indicate that you want to add a track at a point in the list and have one of the ways to add it is to select from a list of results returned by search. And after typing all this it occurs to me that it's almost completely off topic for this thread. :o Win7Pro(x64)[3.3Ghz i5, 8GB RAM, 120GB SSD system, 15TB storage], LMS 7.9.0 -> Logitech Squeezebox Classic V.3 -> Cambridge Audio DacMagic -> NAD C160 -> 2 x NAD C272 -> Quad 22L2 get.amped's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10022 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101727 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta

It may be unique to my use of LMS, I don't really know. It's certainly of more use than the current functionality of returning a matching playlist name; I've never been interested in that particular search result. Does anyone have so many playlists that they would need to search for one by name instead of just opening the Playlist view under My Music? Arguably, the way I currently do this (right click on playlist .m3u file, Send to Wordpad, Ctrl-H, type string, enter) is faster than opening SQLite and entering a couple of queries. Overall there's fairly limited playlist functionality in LMS. Basically you can save the Now playing list and... that's about it other than selecting it to play it again. You can't reorder items in the saved list or easily add new items, although there is a plugin (which I use) to let you add the currently playing song to a list using the remote. It's somewhat interesting that there are way more tools to generate playlists based on some general criteria than to deliberately craft one with specifically selected and ordered tracks.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 Search Functionality Enhancements
I would think the "fuzzy search" would only be a specific advanced search option to avoid taking a performance hit on regular searching. I would only use it when I didn't get any hits on the specific search. How much value it has may depend on how "spelling challenged" you are.

[SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 Search Functionality Enhancements
As requested, here is a thread to discuss ways that the Search function could be improved. My personal favorite enhancement is to have a way to determine whether a track (or artist or album, etc.) is included in a saved playlist. As I build lists that grow into hundreds of tracks, there's no good way within LMS to know if I already added a particular track. Right now, I have to open the list in another program (like Wordpad) and use its Search function. Ideally a matching track (say for "Cities On Flame") would appear under the Playlist results as something like: Cities On Flame by Blue Öyster Cult in "Top Rock Songs" and clicking on it would take you to the location within the playlist.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Seperate menus for Album Artist in 7.9
I disliked the whole "Various Artists" designation very early on and got in the habit of renaming the heading displayed when grouping compilation albums together to "000 - Compilations" so they would be listed first instead of under "V" meaning that I might even take a browse through there from time to time. I think tomorrow I'll go ahead and remove the last few "Various" and "Various Artists" instances in my library. They annoy the hell out of me and, once I do that, I can blissfully skip over any further posts related to the issue. In my case, they all actually represent unknown or uncredited artists. I just have to decide on one specific term I can be happy with. Probably something like [unlisted] since that is typically why a specific artist isn't entered.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] What should be included in 7.9 ?
Should Search also display items in Playlists? There's a heading for it but it never displays any results. It would be a nice convenience. I was listening to the WFUV radio stream and the The Chambers Brothers - Time Has Come Today came on and I thought, "That should be in my Top Rock Songs playlist" but, maybe I already added it. Search doesn't show it in the playlist but it turns out I had already added it some time ago.

Well I did a couple of queries to get some idea just what would fit in
100K tracks. This one just gives me a count of tracks by genre for
lossless (FLAC) only:
SELECT
ge.namesearch, count (tr.id)
FROM
tracks tr,
genre_track gt,
genres ge
WHERE tr.content_type = 'flc'
AND tr.id = gt.track
AND gt.genre = ge.id
GROUP BY ge.namesearch
ORDER BY ge.namesearch
Unfortunately, ROLLUP is not supported by SQLite, so I can't get a grand
total in the same query.
But I put the results (134 rows) into Excel and played with different
combinations of genres until I got one that pares the 233,143 tracks
down to less than 100,000.
This query returns those rows:
SELECT
tr.*
FROM
tracks tr,
genre_track gt,
genres ge
WHERE tr.content_type = 'flc'
AND tr.id = gt.track
AND gt.genre = ge.id
AND ge.namesearch IN ('ALTERNATIVE ROCK','ART ROCK','BLUES
ROCK','DEAD','ELECTRONICA','FOLK JAZZ','FUNK','FUNK R B','FUNK
SOUL','FUSION','GRUNGE','HENDRIX','INDIE','JAZZ FOLK','JAZZ FUNK','JAZZ
FUSION','JAZZ ROCK','LATIN ROCK','NEW WAVE','PROGRESSIVE
METAL','PROGRESSIVE ROCK','PUNK ROCK','R B','R B FUNK','R B
SOUL','ROCK','SOUL','SOUL FUNK','SOUL R B','TRIP HOP')
It's not clear to me whether the query would have to be structured like
this to deal with the changing genre ids:
SELECT
tr.*
FROM
tracks tr,
genre_track gt,
genres ge
WHERE tr.content_type = 'flc'
AND tr.id = gt.track
AND gt.genre = ge.id
AND ge.id IN (SELECT x.id from genres x where x.namesearch IN
('ALTERNATIVE ROCK','ART ROCK','BLUES ROCK','DEAD','ELECTRONICA','FOLK
JAZZ','FUNK','FUNK R B','FUNK
SOUL','FUSION','GRUNGE','HENDRIX','INDIE','JAZZ FOLK','JAZZ FUNK','JAZZ
FUSION','JAZZ ROCK','LATIN ROCK','NEW WAVE','PROGRESSIVE
METAL','PROGRESSIVE ROCK','PUNK ROCK','R B','R B FUNK','R B
SOUL','ROCK','SOUL','SOUL FUNK','SOUL R B','TRIP HOP'))
Or if there is any substantive difference between the two.

I suppose that's all I'm really concerned about at this point. To be honest, I rarely browse the artist or album lists. It's generally faster/easier to do a quick search for either and access what I'm looking for in the search results pane. But occasionally it's interesting to browse through the lists just to rediscover some gems that have been neglected.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Separate browse menus for album artists in 7.8.1 ?
Trying to follow this thread makes my head hurt :confused: At some point I suppose I will have to figure out how this will work for my library. I found that "Group compilation albums together." "List albums by all artists for that album" and "Treat TPE2 MP3 tag as Band" gave me the cleanest browse by artist listing and I was still able to find main artists that appeared on compilation albums. I decided way back when that either an album is a compilation or it's not. If it is, I don't care what kind of crazy artist names go in the ARTIST tag because they aren't going to fill my browse by artist list with one-off entries. Compilations have the COMPILATIONS=1 tag set. If it's not a compilation, there is one ARTIST for all tracks. Which can lead to single name artists teaming up to make a new artist (Stills & Nash, Page & Plant, Plant & Krauss, etc.) and I'm fine with that. There's no ALBUMARTIST. There's no BAND. There's no COMPOSER. For albums with guest artists who are featured on a particular track, I append [featuring ...] or [with ...] to the track name. That way they show up in global searches under songs, but not in albums by artist. For classical albums, I prepend the name (often just the last name) of the composer to the track name. So I can find works by Beethoven or Mozart easily enough. The artist for those albums is the name of the musician or group of musicians playing the work. Generally, for orchestral works, I will append [conducted by ...] or [directed by ...] to the name of the symphony or orchestra. My approach is maybe somewhat simplistic, but it has worked well for me. Now if I could just get my genres cleaned up...

The playlist .m3u file contains both: the first as the http representation of the data for #EXTURL: and the second as the physical path after the #EXTINF line for each playlist entry.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] What should be included in 7.9 ?
I'm actually quite satisfied with the overall performance, both scanning and browsing/playing, with 7.8.0. but I'm probably not in the mainstream use case. I never use BMF (that I know of, not sure how Orange Squeeze queries the DB) and routinely throw 5,000 tracks into my playlist using the Playlist Generator plugin (so awesome!). I use the web UI for almost all browsing/music selection and whatever is most convenient at the time for player control (mostly pause or skip). I generally have a wired SB3 and wireless Boom synced playing FLACs. Library is fairly large: 300K+ 2/3 of which are FLAC. So many interesting ideas in this thread. I'm always encouraged by the level of activity in this forum and the prospects that the SB ecosystem will continue to thrive long past the neglectful custodianship provided by Logitech. So There's one fairly important piece of information I'd love to see in the web UI: the total duration of the current playlist. Often I just throw way more than we will listen to in the course of an evening, but it would be nice to tailor a list to a specific time frame, like a party that will last 4-6 hours, with music appropriate to the "phase" (something acoustic during drinks/arrival, switching to more upbeat to dance to before dinner, softer through dinner and then into full party mode before winding down). I've created such lists by adding up track times in Excel as I put them together, but it would be so much easier to see the total playing time get updated as I added songs.
