As you say it is no longer listed in the much maligned BBC Sounds app either. (I noticed the other day that the BBC Sounds app stops playing after around 10 minutes with an error, the old iPlayer never did that.)[image: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191118/54e1b3e6e0f994b1e4d5da9f4c48be77.jpg] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk slartibartfast's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35609 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

This got great reviews when it came out, it's been nothing but a slow mess since I got it. Synology has a good OS and I suppose you can get them with good CPUs, this one has "hardware transcoding" which was what sold me because I was supposed to use it to store my video library, it's never been usable for that purpose, basically no files need transcoding anyway I've discovered. The processor is called "Evansport" and Synology's own Video Station and, unusually, an independent port of Serviio can use the HW transcoding ability, however, since the ram is so small and everything runs so slow it's useless. And I paid 2500E+ for the thing! (including the disks, which are okay I guess, I could get a new NAS and reuse the disks). The only thing is good for is as data storage for SBCs, i'm so glad I discovered them. 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

"Maximum" means that LMS' database cache is set to grow to a maximum of 500MB. No, it's basically unlimited. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Why isn't there a normal Synology package repository/ advice about the update showing up in package centre like with other packages! Synology doesn't allow me to push LmsUpdate to the Package Center. Would you be able to include a Slim/Utils/OS/Custom.pm file? This then could use LMS own update check mechanism in some way. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

In Windows you have the little "LogiTech Media Server" App. Open as administrator, so as you please. In Linux you stop/start the service via the terminal, is "sudo service squeezeboxserver start" or "stop". I find it suggests to restart itself when it needs to well enough. I never start/stop other than that. ...pablo Server: Virtual Machine (on VMware Workstation 14 Pro) running Ubuntu 18.04 + LMS 7.9.1 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 RS1/Shure 1540 pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111210 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Tidal missing search results + more
I was extremely happy with discovering Logitech Media Server and see that all the music services I use are there in the same interface. However, I'm noticing more and more missing, from Tidal specifically, which I really on extensively. My mixes is missing. This was a crucial way I used to discover new music. Second, you seemingly can't (or can you ?) add a track playing from Tidal as a Tidal favorite, thereby forming a basis for "My mixes" etc. Third, and worst of all, search results in LMS are severely lacking.For example, do a general Tidal search in LMS for timba artist Maykel Blanco. LMS returns two albums "Soy lo que the hala" and "A toda maquina", plus a few compilations albums where the artist has a song. Searching on tidal.com or with Tidal through BubbleUpNp app gives the full list of the seven Maykel Blanco albums thatt are released. Any chance of fixing this ? Is there a setting somewhere for how long LMS spends searching a specific source that could be extended and maybe fix these problems ? Where could I reach the Tidal plugin developer ?
