Don't think it was me, but it sounds fine on the flac stream.

Re: [slim] Testers wanted

I've been listening to the flac stream for the past hour. I am not the
most critical judge, but I have found the sound quality very good,
indeed. I have also thoroughly enjoyed the mix. I do notice that the
metadata consistently leads the audio by about 50-60 seconds. I'm
playing it on a group player, and some members of the group use the
Airplay bridge, all of which adds some delay to the audio, but I don't
think it's even close to that much. I am using Paul's Radio Now Playing
plugin.



LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS. Mostly virtual players,
occasionally with SB Radio, Boom or Classic.

it was me :) early on

Travelling early in the am tomorrow, then looking forward to a weekend
of listening! Thanks for all the effort you put in to sharing your
collection with us Jim. Still wondering how you got access to allot of
my library :p

Re: [slim] Testers wanted

2021-10-22 Thread d6jg

The new hardware has been live for getting in for 36 hours and I’ve
obviously been monitoring what’s going on. I’m really pleased with the
SQ especially as I know that it would be easy to improve it a little
further but as far as I am concerned the FLAC stream sounds pretty damn
good with zero burps during my monitoring.

I have been surprised how good it sounds on my Kitchen Echo Show using
Phil’s Alexa skill.

I’ve kept an eye on listener levels and I know that a number of people
have popped in and out. We could really now do with some feedback on the
SQ as listeners hear it if people have any.

You could only have balance in "transcoding" mode so I've disabled it

Re: [slim] Coverart in Music Folder

2021-10-22 Thread garym


I know you want to use 'music folder', but have you tried using "New
Music" menu item under music library.  I also have a very meticulously
organized artist and album folder structure, but don't find any need to
use "music folder" browsing in LMS.  When I add new albums to my
library, they show up by most recently added within the "new music" menu
option.  Also, in LMS > Settings > My Music tab, I set the "new music"
limit to larger than my music collection (in my case I set it to
200,000) and this way when I look at new music item, I see my complete
collection, listed by date added from most recent to oldest.

Can't remember whether it was you or someone else who commented on the
