Re: [slim] LMS 7.90 change in sort behaviour?
Thanks for the advice. If I was starting again, I would do exactly as you describe; however my library is now of a size which means that updating all the Composer tags would be a major undertaking. I wanted a schema which was really simple and would work essentially independent of the software utilised. As much as I love my Squeezebox setup, there may come a day when it no longer works and I want to be able to load my library as is into another 'package' and retain easy access to all the tag information. I hope it doesn't happen but I can't be without my library or my head would explode. gazjones59's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14853 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103331 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] LMS 7.90 change in sort behaviour?
gazjones59, My music library is also mostly classical and I also used to search in exactly the same way you do (my album name format is Composer - Work - Main performer ). However, now that there are the additional browse modes in LMS 7.9 I no longer use the search but use the composer browse and drill down from there. I find it very good indeed, especially with iPeng. (Of course it means you have to have the Composer tag set on all one's music files.) Touch, Meridian G92, Meridian G55, PMC OB1i speakers, HP Proliant Microserver/Ubuntu, PC/Windows 7, iPad 4, iPeng, Squeezepad.

Yep - that's the banner I've been trying to carry - mainly for the lost, non-techie souls. But, for probably a variety of reasons, they're just too invisible to give us the momentum we need. I do not enjoy this rabble rousing at all and I'm getting fed up of being treated as a Luddite or a daft old fool who doesn't get it, of beating my head against a wall of indifference. Our problems, of course, are minor by comparison but when, on an almost daily basis, I hear those folks who tried, over the decades, to raise concerns of serious abuse or injustice or corruption and how they were beaten down, simply ignored or themselves abused by public servants and the system well, after six weeks of this, I now understand much better. And when I hear, from Scott and countless others before him, how lessons will be learned, and they never are, I just want to throw up. Back to the music?

Re: [slim] LMS 7.90 change in sort behaviour?
For the details Michael will have to respond but essentially the search process is changed. It uses a full text search across all fields in your library and then has a ranking algorithm for the search results while in the past it was e.g only search in the album title field for album searches. It makes it easier to find things you can't directly specify but the ranking might be different than before --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103331 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] LMS 7.90 change in sort behaviour?
Yes, because there are now a lot more results so they need to be ranked to be useful --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103331 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] LMS 7.90 change in sort behaviour?
Hello everybody. I have a mature LMS system running from a Wndows 7 machine servicing 4 touch/radio units. Having been a user for quite a few years, I have the system running as I want and it performs in a pretty much trouble free fashion. I switched to LMS 7.9 in the middle of last year, and this also was a trouble free process. However, last night I decided to download the latest 7.90 nightly to see if any improvements had been made. The installation itself went fine, but it appears that the ability to amend the sort order of items in the Album search listing is not functioning. The button still appears in the bottom left of the web interface, and the previous options are present and correct. When viewing the Albums category, these sort options work as before, but when viewing the results from an album search, the results seem to come back in a random order and the various sort options are indicated but make no difference when selected. The main reason this is a problem for me is that the weird sort order for searches is reflected in iPeng's search function, which is the way I access my classical collection. Am I missing something, or has this bug been noticed by anyone else?

Re: [slim] LMS 7.90 change in sort behaviour?
I understand that the search process itself might have changed, but does that preclude the selection of a particular display order for the returned results? gazjones59's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14853 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103331 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Hi Pippin - thanks for replying so swiftly. Firstly I should thank you for iPeng which is indispensable to me. However, I don't understand your comment. I did notice reference to 'full text search' in the scanner progress messages - could you elaborate further? gazjones59's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14853 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103331 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] LMS 7.90 change in sort behaviour?
OK - there is presumably a reason that this was implemented but it is a big problem for me. In order to keep my classical music tagged effectively without using too many different tags, I have used a schema where i tag the Album Title as 'Composer : Work'. For example 'Sibelius : Symphony No. 6'. By entering the search term 'Sibelius' I then get all the works by this composer, and as it was I would get all instances of Symphony No. 6 preceded by all instances of Symphony No. 5 and followed by all instances of Symphony No. 7 etc. When I execute a search now, the results come back in no discernible order, but I understand from what you are saying that this order is not only seemingly random, but cannot be changed. If this is the case, is there some way I can return to a 7.9 nightly from before this amendment, or will I have to go back to 7.8 in order to get the search working as before? Or perhaps this bit of code is a work in progress and may be subject to change...? gazjones59's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14853 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103331 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] LMS 7.90 change in sort behaviour?
Emergency averted. A bit of searching revealed that the full text search option is a plugin which can be disabled. I did this and Hey Presto! - order is restored.

[slim] Full scan hangs
Hi. I am running a full scan, but the process hangs (the process has now been running for about an hour and is still ongoing). In the past, the process took only about 10-15 minutes to complete. As the image below shows, the initial processes are being completed very quickly, but I'm not getting a message that the scan has been completed. And my Squeezebox displays the message Can't connect to server. I'm running LMS on a Vortexbox (linux machine). So, I don't think this is a Daylight Savings Time issue, but I might be wrong about this. Please let me know if this is the case. The light on the Vortexbox shows ongoing disk activity of some kind. The only other thing I believe I have changed since my last 10-15 minute scan is addition of the Ickstream plugin. Has anyone who has installed Ickstream experienced subsequent scanning problems? Any advice appreciated. Thanks in advance.
