Re: [slim] When LMS is stopped SB2 display goes black
When LMS is stopped (at night when my server is off) my Squeezebox Classic SB2 display goes black, i would like it to show date/time. The SB2's display is all controlled and fed by LMS. No LMS, no display. You could connect it to mysb.com instead. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] What are your long-term SqueezeBox solutions?
It's easy to get acceptance, especially now that stuff can be controlled from a laptop. I am solo again, but both my ex-wife and my ex-girlfriend learned quickly to navigate to their favorite (and to me despicable, girl music ugh) albums very easily on their iPads. It was so easy for them that the hard part was to remain in control of what was being played when I chill - as soon as you turn your back there's some Christina Aguilera or Beyonce playing (shiver :-D). Way too easy. Now... could they have installed the thing by themselves? Questionable. Not because they're not smart, but simply because they wouldn't care enough to go through the motions. I have a feeling that 80% of people participating in this forum are guys, and guys that are a little geeky too. That's why I like this place. :-) Oh, my mom lives with me 6 months out of the year. She *loves* the SB Radio. I set it up for her fav radio stations from Spain and Colombia, and all she has to do is push one of the preset keys. The system is very usable these days. But it *does* require some geekiness to install and occasionally maintain - and it's fun for us. :-) ...pablo Server: Virtual Machine (on VMware Workstation 14 Pro) running Ubuntu 16.04 + LMS 7.9 System: SB Touch --optical->- Benchmark DAC2HGC --AnalysisPlus Oval Copper XLR->- NAD M22 Power Amp --AnalysisPlus Black Mesh Oval->- Totem Element Fire Other Rooms: 2x SB Boom; 1x SB Radio; 1x SB Classic-> NAD D7050 -> Totem DreamCatcher + Velodyne Minivee Sub Computer audio: workstation --USB->- audioengine D1 -> Grado PS500e/Shure 1540 pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108823 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Podcasts broken again
My Spotty 2.3 install broke after installing the logitechmediaserver_7.9.1~1522249619 + Ubuntu updated itself with some packages. Sluggish behaviour in 127.0.0.1:9000 interface and it seems to hang all the time. So this fixed my problem in 1-2-3: Code: # sudo apt-get install libssl-dev # sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan> install Net::SSLeay cpan> install IO:Socket::SSL A simple apt-get install libio-socket-ssl-perl did no good, since it was stated "already installed".

Re: [slim] Replaygain vs EBU R128
If you use foobar to calculate replaygain, you've been using R128 since v1.1.6 (http://www.foobar2000.org/changelog#section41), which to the best of my knowledge is ±7 years old.

I don't see the downside.. for non critical listening replaygain in album mode is perfectly good, and when you feel like properly listening to something, turn replaygain off. Bingo the music data is the same and sounds the same as it did before the file was tagged. The one and only pain in the ass wrt post-processing files is that the "new music" menu option is based on the file time stamp.. so you mess up all the time stamps and you now don't have a clear record of when that music was "new". -Transcoded from Matt's brain by Tapatalk- -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.

By apply I meant the tag. > > Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk I was just seeking clarification regarding the tags. My experience with Replaygain tags, and LMS using them, is that it's a decent facility, and can save a lot of effort rushing for the volume control. I used it for a good few years. It's not without cost though. I found that sound quality was better without it being used. I migrated the server over to a RasPi setup, and forgot to set the Replaygain facility on the new server. On switching between servers I found that with the RasPi server things just sounded better, and I wondered why. Eventually I pinpointed the setup difference, utilised the facility on the RasPi, and immediately noticed the step back in sound quality. Consequently I no longer use Replaygain as a matter of course. My listening habits are an album at a time, so it's not difficult to adjust from album to album. I never have got into using playlists, and it's only on rare occasions that I'll use the random play facility in LMS (when I will turn on Replaygain facility).
