Sorry for the late reply, removing the LMS plugin autorescan fix the
problem.
Daphile always introduce a full rescan every restart and it seems that
the autorescan plugin get in the way.
This plugin is not certified with LMS 8.1.1
When removed Daphile will index the collection only once.

That did the trick. I'm not familiar with the Material skin, but I'm
going to give it a go. Many thanks!

In Material you can use SHIFT and select the first album and then the
last item and then add to the playlist.

[slim] Adding all from "New Music" to current playlist

2021-03-02 Thread ACasper21


I'd like to be able to add everything in my "New Music" to the current
playlist. I seem to remember being able to do this long ago. Is this
able to be done? I can't seem to find a way to do it. Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance.

It's now live after Amazon certified the voice-model changes. The new
command goes by the keyword 'transpose'.

When you say "Alexa, transpose Kitchen and Library players" the
now-playing playlist queue/timestamp and player-volume levels are
swapped between the players in question.

Yes, but per previous post the balance is a linear ratio between L & R
while volume is a log evolution. I'll keep it like that

ok, so I'll stay with the linear solution then

No, not really - Balance will not appear in the UI and I guess we can
keep it like that

Yes squeezeslave binaries and source are still available.  However, in
the last 3 months it's only been downloaded 28 times and I've stopped
supported it, so I'd consider it obsolete.

Softsqueeze, the java client, however is a bit more active at 1561
downloads in the last 3 months and I've released one update in the last
11 years.

Does this even matter for the Balance feature?  If the client doesn't
report the capability and they are not hardware players, the balance
code path shouldn't impact them?

This may be a minefield.  IIRC when developers were defining/modifiying
the curve - a lot of user feedback was that fine control at very low
volume was needed esp when listening at night/early morning typically in
bed.
When channels are not balanced then at some point in low volume one
channel will not be heard at all.  Users will have to accept that or
else you'll have a complicated solution.
