Re: [slim] Albums with Multiple Covers

2021-11-20 Thread Michael Herger

Has anybody ever seen a pulgin or mod that would do this or maybe the
developer teams would like to consider adding this feature to future LMS
releases


LMS currently only supports a single image per track. Changing this 
would be pretty involved, as the database structure can't handle more 
than one right now.


What you could do is store the images individually as independent JPG 
files in the folder of the album. Then you could use the Music and 
Artist Information plugin to watch them.

Re: [slim] Webstreaming through galaxywebsolutions.com - timing out?

2021-11-20 Thread Michael Herger

Just tried to stream a couple of radio stations that use
galaxywebsolutions.com and are finding that they time out.


What IO::Socket::SSL version are you using (see Settings/Information)? 
Most reports of some servers timing out recently were due to outdated 
libraries. What OS are you running your LMS on?

[slim] Albums with Multiple Covers

2021-11-20 Thread SeanMiddleton


I use MP3tag to add multiple covers to many of my albums. For example I
will use the front cover as cover number 1 (in MP3tag) , rear cover as
number 2 and perhaps a few key pages from the albums booklet as number
3,4, if there is a booklet. On the LMS GUI only the front cover
is ever shown, the other covers are never seen at all. I think it would
be a good idea to add multiple cover feature to LMS, whereby it scrolls
through each front cover, or allows you to manually scroll through the
covers. Auto scroll or manual scroll etc can be a selectable option on
the Settings page.

Has anybody ever seen a pulgin or mod that would do this or maybe the
developer teams would like to consider adding this feature to future LMS
releases

Marry Christmas

I tried both...the protocol is the same between AES and SPDIF, (the
consumer bit is not present on AES)  I got both connected I didn't
notice a difference on the NADAC.
Not sure if the Transporter use a 110 Ohms isolation transformer for the
AES output.
I use a 110 Ohms Belden 1805 cable to connect the Transporter with the
NADAC.

Are you aware that Sean Adams explicitly stated that the AES output is

He said that it was just included for completeness sake.

Light bulb moment!

I've deleted my first post today, because of inaccuracies.

All my library views are created using "file path contains".

E.g. file path contains Wendy's music, Squeezebox music, etc..

36206

However for my Christmas library view, I only used the term *Christmas*
and not "*Christmas music*", so of course the library view contained
tracks/albums that contained the word Christmas that weren't in the
Christmas music folder that LMS scans. Hope that makes sense?

I've created a new corrected library view, everything now appears to
work as expected.

Sincere apologies for any doubt or confusion I've caused. :rolleyes::o:(

In material skin you can go to settings > player and set a library view

However, back at the "My Music" page the players library will be the

Random Mix has it's own setting for library view which is easy to
overlook.  
Since Random Mix has it's own library view setting I suspect it is not
possible to have a Random Mix based on a player library view.
Material skin has a global setting for library view.

Re: [slim] Multiple libaries?

2021-11-20 Thread kidstypike


I find that assigning different library views to different players
doesn't seem to work in all cases.

E.g.

Using the *default UI* I can assign different library views to different
players.

If I select player A (assigned "Christmas music" library view) and
click on Albums or Album Artists, it displays Albums or Album Artists
from "Christmas music".

If I select player B (assigned "Squeezebox music" library view) and
click on Albums or Album Artists, it displays Albums or Album Artists
from "Squeezebox music".

For Albums and Album Artists, selecting a particular player from the
player dropdown box top right, instantly changes the Albums or Album
Artists displayed in the left panel, to match the assigned library view
for that player, as expected.


However, selecting player A (Christmas Music), clicking on *Random
Albums* or *New music* displays only albums from "all library" that
contain a track with the word Christmas in the track title.

My "*Random mix*" is set to show 100 upcoming tracks, if I press play on
the random songs item, scrolling down the playlist queue, there isn't a
single track listed from my "Christmas music" library view.

All above is true for the Default skin, Squeezebox Touch UI, and
Jivelite on a PI/piCore screen.


Using the Material skin or Orange Squeeze, UI displays only Albums or
Album Artists, etc. from the last library view that I selected using
that UI, no matter which player I select.
