Re: [slim] Compilations - appearance in the LMS interface
see my sig links. i put one CD per folder only. i use AA tags on everything. i put a comp=1 tag on only those things i want identified as a comp. no comp=0 tags. i change the default value in settings of denoting comps as "Various Artists" to "-Various Artists-" bc of a nasty bug in LMS where any string conflict with the value of that setting in any AA or A tag value (and possibly others) results in that entry being hidden by LMS (in at least some parts of the UI) with comps and LMS, its important to remember its a two part process... the first being in how LMS identifies comps, the second being in how it then handles them once identified. using: win10 64 + lms 8 & duet & ipads w/the logitech app, and ipeng on an ipod http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/various_artists_logic & http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/compilations BJW's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58242 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114865 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] feature request: file vs track calculator
I think it's def worthy for LMS to give and keep accurate stats. How many tracks? Albums? Album artists? Mp3s? M4as? Flacs? Etc... How many albums are comps? How many tracks are from comps? And do the stats LMS displays match the number of audio files scanned?

Re: [slim] Switzerland to cease analogue VHF FM broadcasting by the end of 2024
i believe the article said Norway switched off its national FMs, but locals still do FM. i know very little about the various DAB implementations. i think if the different gov'ts of the world want to go all digital to replace analog FM so they can reclaim the spectrum for other uses they will need to do the following: 1. make sure its very HQ, at least modern 320kbps mp3 level. 2. make sure it has the reach AND penetration of analog broadcasts. 3. mandate that all new automobile, and eventually all radios of any type, support analog and digital. all that would be required at a minimum imo. given the USA exp with HDTV, (which was similar to y2k in some aspects) i think it will be a LONG time before anything moves here, unless there is significant external pressure to do so. using: win7 64 + lms 7.9 & duet & ipads w/the logitech app, and ipeng on an ipod http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/various_artists_logic & http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/compilations BJW's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58242 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110934 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Switzerland to cease analogue VHF FM broadcasting by the end of 2024
wow, i never thought i'd see this. unlike TV, which made sense to go all digital, it seemed to me that analog FM radio would live forever, for a variety of reasons... one wonders if digital FM broadcasting will gain enough of a foothold to actually survive? tech like 5G could supplant it b4 it ever really gets established. while i have no beef with internet radio, it just isn't the same as a quality, local, non corporate FM that focuses on the local community. i have np with business or anything like that, but one of the joys of life in America, was going on a road trip and hearing the local flavor from regional stations that were unique. unfortunately the corporate conglomertizations (sic) of the industry have ironically hastened its downfall, by making it too bland and generic and not relevant to the audience, prompting them to do podcasts, streaming, etc. imo, traditional radio broadcasting will only survive going forward serving niche audiences, that are unique and local and relevant to that listener. thats why sports talk has gotten so big for instance. a focus on community will keep the listener coming back. i know i'm singing an old man's lament, but i loved being a college radio DJ. and maybe internet broadcasting isn't so different, but i do feel like something has been lost. c'est la vie! using: win7 64 + lms 7.9 & duet & ipads w/the logitech app, and ipeng on an ipod http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/various_artists_logic & http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/compilations BJW's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58242 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110934 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] You learn something new everyday
Things got confused in this thread imo. I use RG, I do not use normalization and wouldn't want to. But the other issue doesn't make sense. Think of output level as the volume knob. If it's at 10, that's 100%. If it's at 5, that's 50%. In either case, RG should be applied and noticeable (vs not being applied) bc it's done in software, prior to reaching the output stage. So while I never put anything past server and it's hardware implementation, I believe the contention that 100% output defeats RG is wrong. using: win7 64 + lms 7.9 & duet & ipads w/the logitech app, and ipeng on an ipod http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/various_artists_logic & http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/compilations BJW's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58242 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110072 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Playlist bug 7.8?
I'm not sure I understand you, but I created my playlist files with winamp. i think the whole 500 limit thing is a tangent that does not apply to this situation. that's for loading songs to be played on the right hand side. remember what i said: i have three playlists, all made by winamp, and all scanned into server. i can *play* ALL THREE of them. the issue is DISPLAY, meaning when you click the playlist name to actually look at what is inside it, which is done on the lefthand side. two display fine, and they both exceed the 500 number. the third will not display on the lefthand portion of the screen. so, imo, the problem is either server, (which i consider the more likely), or it is this playlist in that it has some kind of entry that is invalid for display for some reason, and that could be either servers' or the playlists' fault.

Re: [slim] track volume levels - auto level?
I believe r128 is a newer way to calc RG. I believe LUFS is a unit of volume measurement. but I could be wrong on both counts. I think what it is asking tho, is what reference volume u want RG to be at? I can tell u that with winamp, I am pretty sure reference volume is 89db, and there is a RG pre-amp (which server could use imo) that lets u adjust that amount up or down 6db (I think).

Re: [slim] Win7 firewall and server / duet
I would really appreciate it if someone who has win7 and the firewall fully on would post the actual firewall rules / exceptions as pertains to the server that allow the thing to work. I could try to reproduce and see if it fixes my issue. whatever the problem is, I am sure that it revolves around the fact that when the firewall is on, the hardware can't reach the server.

Re: [slim] Win7 firewall and server / duet
hi, I finally tried something, but no luck. I had a 7.7.3 install that didn't work as I described above. I then turned back on the firewall and installed the Mar 21 7.8 nightly on top. it did not fix the issue. I turned off the private network half of the firewall and all was well again. I am reluctant to fully uninstall and delete everything and try a fresh 7.8 install b/c I would have to setup everything from scratch. it seems to me that this is instead a bug and that server should be fixed so that when upgrade installs are done, it checks the firewall rules to make sure the right ones are there, and the wrong ones removed. how can I fix the current install by manually correcting the firewall rules?

Re: [slim] Is there any continued development of the Squeezebox server software?
the biggest mistake was that they bought something they clearly didn't understand. the second biggest mistake is that the business model was idiotic. the hardware cost way too much, was a one time thing, and didn't fund what actually cost them money, which was development of a slow, lumbering, hunk of shit server that no one wanted to use. what Logitech should have done, imo, was focus on the hardware as media extenders for existing software that others develop and maintain. so it could work with winamp, iTunes, wmp, whatever. why they thought people would flock to a buggy server with a webui, I will never understand. not to mention it HAD to use the server. they should sell it off. whoever buys it should adapt the hardware to work as I describe above, and then its just a matter of the hardware being better than other hardware and competing and finding a niche that way. let it work with any and everything out there, via a simple plugin or some kind of OS level middleman whose only job is to get the audio to the device. and no reason some hardware couldn't keep slim proto and some kind of unfinanced but encouraged community rewrite of server could be done, that strips away all the horseshit and addresses bugs and requests long since ignored.

[slim] Win7 firewall and server / duet
Hi all, First post and its b/c I need a guide for dummies. I have win7 64bit, and a duet with the latest 7.7.3 nightly as of this posting. I have had the duet for years, but it always seems to have issues. Lately, the duet has had trouble finding my server and connecting to it. I did some investigating and troubleshooting, and it seems the win7 firewall is at fault. If i completely disable the private network portion of the win7 firewall, server finds the duet. (sometimes i have to log off/log on, but one way or another, if this part of the firewall is off, it all works, and if its on, its MIA). For whatever reason, when LMS install itself, it does not give win7 good rules for the firewall. This is upsetting. I tried following the advice here but I got nowhere. I have deleted all the server related firewall rules, but the rules i am making just don't work. If someone would be so kind as to give a truly step by painful step guide for the dumbest of dummies, that would be wonderful. I need something that gives me no benefit of intelligence at all.
