Re: [slim] Feature Request : Random Seed
Since these Random Seeds are Genre based what might be really neat would be to expose them under More when you select a Genre from the Genre menu so you could start them from there ie they were available as standard with the continue and no in playlist determined from the Random Mix Settings. Just an idea You're using the Material skin? Yeah, it's missing there. I don't know why, because that choice has been in the Genres menu "forever". Check with a Touch/Radio, or even the Default skin. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] You learn something new everyday
If you don't want those big RG values, you can amplify the files. Just amplify each track by the same amount. 12dB should do it.

Here is the output of arecord -l and arecord -L OK, Since you have managed to record CD quality (i.e. 44.1kHz 16bit) with "arecord" - making Wavinput work should be easy as it also uses "arecord". Your test will have used the arecord "-D" option to select the capture device. (e.g. *arecord -D plughw:CARD=sndrpihifiberry,DEV=0 -f cd -t wav test.wav* ) Create a LMS favorite with a "wavin:" prefix to the ALSA device you know works for capture (e.g. *wavin:plughw:CARD=sndrpihifiberry,DEV=0* ) Make sure the Username that runs LMS on your system is a member of the audio group (this may vary according to distro) so that it has permission to access audio hardware. If you had to add the username to the audio group - then restart system just to make sure user group changes take effect. In LMS try to play the newly created "wavin" favorite . bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110046 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] You learn something new everyday
Yesterday I recorded an album to FLAC using the same software that I always use - VinylStudio from Alpinesoft (its the best I have used by far and I have tried many). Anyway the album in question was Bob Marley, Legend on 180g Vinyl. When I got to the track splitting stage I was astonished at the waveform I was presented with. The volume level on the whole album was set really low with the result that the waveform was narrow if you know what I mean. This wasnt a case of not having the software set incorrectly as with a USB type ADC you set a particular level of digital gain once and then never alter it. No the album was pressed at an incredibly low volume. After splitting and writing individual tracks I ran Foobar2000 over them to set Replay Gain. It required a 15db uplift. A level which I have never seen before. Having rescanned I proceeded to test play on my Living Room SB3. Still sounded desperately quiet when compared to other tracks. Checked the SB3 audio settings to ensure Smart Gain was on. Yes. Then I realised. The SB3 was set to output at 100%. It appears Smart Gain does not work if this is the case. Now I think about it I can see the logic as to why it wouldnt but also how you could be fooled into thinking that even at 100% it could / should work.

I think on reflection that my single genre example failed because the Favourite may have been cached. And yes I do have some Reggae. I chose it for testing because I thought it would be obviously not Rock or Jazz! This has effectively created Genre based "radios" as per Spotify Genres and Moods and whatever other streaming services call it. I assume when we say genres=Rock,Reggae we mean where genres is either Rock or Reggae - would it be possible to extend the function and do something like this randomplay://tracks?genres=Rock,Reggae&genres!=Christmas where != means does not equal I suspect I am not alone in using multi tagging for genres. Great stuff. You are a star. PS Testing this yesterday is how I noticed Tune in URL & manual Favourites was missing in Material BTW.

Re: [slim] Feature Request : Random Seed
1) randomplay://track?genres=Reggae&dontContinue=1 2) randomplay://track?genres=Rock,Reggae&dontContinue=1 3) randomplay://track?genres=Jazz,Reggae&dontContinue=1 4) randomplay://track?genres=Reggae,Rock&dontContinue=1 1) is a single genre - it does not choose Reggae but instead a standard Random Song mix presumably from the current Random Mix settings 2) plays Rock 3) plays Jazz 4) plays Reggae This certainly should work as expected. I did most of the testing with a single genre for simplicity's sake, but did test with multiple genres, too. But please keep in mind that to RandomPlay there's always some randomness to be expected: while you can ask it to pick from multiple genres, random picks can be from all the same genre. In particular with a small number like five tracks. For the testing please remove the dontContinue parameter and double check whether even after a while no track matching both genres would be added.
