[slim] A way to remember track position in streams?
Hi all So I listen to a lot of radio shows. I like to dip in and out of them. As far as I can see LMS does not be default remember stream position. Can this be done?

Re: [slim] Guide for setting up VPN remote access to LMS ?
OK, it's easy but I don't like it. On an Asus router with Merlin firmware, make sure you have your free ASUS DDNS set, then go to Advanced Settings - VPN - VPN Server - create username and password - click plus - click apply. Use Android OpenVPN Connect client to connect to your home network DDNS address and you can from e.g. a 4G mobile network access your home network using home network internal IP addresses. Problem is, this won't, at least with default settings, let you use my VPN provider www.privateinternetaccess.com .opvn file generator to connnect the router as a VPN client to PIA at the same time (this being another usage of the term VPN, in this case the router being a PIA client and PIA thus providing encryption/unblocking/geolocation etc. for all traffic out of router to ISP). Read a thousand posts, contacted PIA and ASUS support (both useless of course), I know it's just a simple matter of a conflicting setting or two and the router will be able to be a VPN server (for remote access to home network) and VPN client (for PIA) at the same time. Any tips appreciated. Wiki should be updated with instructions on how to do this, what with the strong warnings to avoid LMS port forwarding and nothing on how/what kind of VPN to use. echable's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69542 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111207 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Should that be an -and- or an -or- ? Meaning, since the NAS actually only has 1GB memory, it would actually be detrimental to set it to this setting ? Also, as mentioned in other post, I changed NAS server scanning priority to "-6 above normal", but left it at default on the xu4. Here are the full scan stats from both devices: NAS: Media Scan Details Discovering files/directories: /volume1/music (309595 of 309595) Complete 00:12:22 Scanning new music files: /volume1/music (280892 of 280892) Complete 15:45:26 Discovering playlists: /volume1/music/[[PLAYLISTS]] (5 of 5) Complete 00:00:00 Scanning new playlists: /volume1/music/[[PLAYLISTS]] (4 of 4) Complete 00:00:04 Building full text index (7 of 7) Complete 00:12:53 Pre-caching Artwork (13096 of 13096) Complete 02:36:48 Database Optimize (2 of 2) Complete 00:24:26 XU4: Media Scan Details Discovering files/directories: /mnt/nfs_client/volume1/music (433803 of 433803) Complete 00:26:16 Scanning new music files: /mnt/nfs_client/volume1/music (280893 of 280893) Complete 05:22:50 Building full text index (7 of 7) Complete 00:05:06 Find updated coverart files (29930 of 29930) Complete 00:05:12 Pre-caching Artwork (12037 of 12037) Complete 00:32:16 Database Optimize (2 of 2) Complete 00:06:50 > > > One possible reason might be the write speed of the storage where the > > LMS databases are located.

However, when scanning, the NAS never went above 50% in disk usage and never (approx) above 20-30% in memory usage. Also, someone please friggin' explain the difference in number of files found between two LMS servers scanning the exact directories when NO changes have been (by me, maybe by LMS itself) made in between the two scans :) echable's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69542 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111206 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Sandisk high-speed SD card on the XU4, those SD-card classifications are so all over the place now that I can't remember but I think it is the fastest category SD Card available. NAS 4*6TB WD Red RPM: 5400. Disk usage during scan on NAS never went above 50% though when I checked (only about 1000 times). One difference in settings I did make: I set "scanner priority" to "-6 above normal" on the NAS. echable's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69542 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111206 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Extreme difference in library scan times between servers ?
RAM almost certainly won't be the root cause, LMS doesn't use that much (~500MB for LMS should be ample. To make sure, check settings>performance if you even have enabled high memory settings, and check actual usage with e.g htop), and for a scan, memory-based caching is basically irrelevant anyway. Memory is super important during a scan. With a library the size of echable's the difference between high and max can be massive. echable: looking at the scanner stats, how are those hours distributed? Is there one step which takes considerably longer on one system vs. the other? One possible reason might be the write speed of the storage where the LMS databases are located. If e.g. they are on the EMMC storage on the XU4 and on a slow HDD on the NAS, this will make quite a difference. This is particularly true if you run low on memory. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
