[slim] LMS won't read files on USB hard drive
Likely a dumb noob question but here goes: I'm Running a Pi 4B in Player/Server mode. I installed and selected a Hifiberry Digi Pro+ as my output device. I've installed and enabled exFAt file support. LMS "sees" my USB drive and I've enabled it and clicked "Set USB Mount". But when I start LMS in its own tab no music info appears. The weird thing is it worked fine earlier but I re-flashed the OS and ran through the setup again so I could describe it to a buddy and now it won't "see" the files on the drive. LMS Radio works OK, I get music.

Thanks for this works really well. I have a couple of requests / comments: In the "without artwork" list can you make the album title stand out more - maybe bold or slighlty larger font or different colour? This would make the title easier to pick out from the tracks. A simplified output with just Artist and Album title would be really useful. This is for use on the phone when out browsing so I can do a "have I got this album" look up quickly - currently the with tracks list is 7.5Mbyte and has 1120 pages so a bit clumbersome for use on the phone. ---- steve-g's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112557 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Transporter Toslink -- Popping??
It's definately worth trying another source connected to your transporter if you can. I had loads of problems with my Panasonic TV (8 year old model mind) connected to my DAC - it would just drop out every now and then for about a second or so - the DAC might just be a bit more graceful in handling whatever was happening to the toslink output. This seemed to be channel dependant and very sporadic but very annoying. I gave up in the end and just used the autio output from the TV.

Re: [slim] Document your collection
The idea of using the LMS cli interface is fine for those who run LMS on a PC or similar - for those of us that run it on a 'small' computer such as a pi or Wandboard this is not very practical. The approach used by pkfox of directly querying the db seems the right method in these cases as it's easy to copy over the db to generate the album / track list rather than trying to get the o/p from lms over to the PC to do the same thing. (Unless I'm missing something) I take the number of artists listed by LMS with a farly large pinch of salt as it includes all types of tag data that I would not normally consider as an artist for the type of music it refers to (such as composer for non-classical music) so can't see the attraction of trying to replicate it! steve-g's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104566 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I believe iPeng 7 is a universal app, so if you're running iOS 7 that's the way to go.

If you asked this question on facebook, too, then the additional answer would be that yes, also streaming on from the iPad through AirPlay will work. The only limitations are that a) The playback functionality is an additional In-App-Purchase (in both iPeng and SqueezePad) b) For Spotify you will need the 3rd Party Spotify plugin for LMS. It can be installed through Settings-Plugins in the LMS web interface and has a long support thread here under 3rd party software.

Re: [slim] Leak, iOS 7
Your link finds it but search in the App Store does not. Weird. I guess it's still updating somewhere in the depths of the App Store. I'm definitely upgrading, it's a great app right now and the new version looks way better and nicer for iOS 7. Just curious, what's the discounted price and what will the price be once the discount ends? And once I buy it, I assume I can just delete the old version -- you mentioned that an existing in app purchase will carry over to the new version. Is that right?

Hi folks, We just moved our playlist over to another computer via an external hard drive which we are using to play the music, We will put the files on permanently later. The playlist which are m3u files show up as media player files and slimserver will not accept the playlist. When we try to play it it shows as 0 files in the playlist.. The music files are all there on the ex drive . If we click on an album in the music folder and make it a playlist it again shows as a media player file but will play even thou it shows as a media file. ( the existing playlists will not play ) Trouble is we can not get the existing playlists to play. We have tried everything! We use xp pro slimserver 6.5.4 and the music files are saved as flac saved using windows word 2007 As I said we have tried everything, we are now trying to get rid of Media player hoping that will help.

Re: [slim] Community Funded Squeezebox Replacement - Would you be interested?
Maybe it's hard to compensate the time that the people currently driving the development of this project invest. But what *should* be possible is to compensate their expenses e.g. for hardware they're buying to test. Any thoughts how this can be organized? Should we setup a list where these people can enter their expenses and others can enter their compensation payments? Since I never used Paypal before (and prefer to keep it like this), I'd like to be able to pay something without the need of a Paypal account. I'd love to get one of these at some point (even though I don't really need one), just to show support. (I'm hoping when the 1.0 version is eventually made available the sale price will include some reasonable profit.) Beyond that, I agree that direct payments can be difficult, both technically and socially. Other ideas include opening up Amazon wish lists so people can buy something off of them, basically sending someone a nice gift in return for all this effort (e.g., buying someone a book or an album as a way of saying thanks). Even further removed from actual compensation for materials used: people may have a favorite charity they'd like people to donate to, something like that. But sometimes people enjoy doing this work just for the love of doing it, as a way of giving back to the community, or just for the fun of it. I totally get that -- it's why I'll sometimes spend an evening debugging the latest espn.com web page layout to get SuperDateTime working again. (Very minor compared to all this effort, but perhaps in the same spirit.) So if it's the latter, everyone involved has my thanks and great respect; but I'm also happy to contribute to the effort up front or as a future buyer of this new kit.

Yes, that's kind of what I had in mind, too. Would have to be something like wikipedia or a publicly available site, though, a lot of the commercial ones don't allow you to use their data for commercial Apps. I'd settle for an search on Allmusic.com -- even just opening the page in Safari would be fine. http://www.allmusic.com/search/artists/%s Of course it's not as clean as having it all in-app, but it's still much more convenient than having to switch to Safari, go to AMG, enter the artist, etc. Shouldn't be an issue regarding using their data since you're only handing off a URL.

Re: [slim] iPeng, your iPhone Squeezebox Remote, gets even better with version 2.0!
Hi Pippin, You asked for a suggestion for what could go onto the third page for iPeng users who didn't want to show song lyrics. The n-Stream iPhone app for Naim has a very nice looking album information page including a review which would be a terrific addition to iPeng. You get there by pressing the information icon on the now playing screen. I've attached a couple of screen shots so you can see the initial screen with the first part of the album review and the track listing that you can scroll down to, as well as the full review which you see when you tap the disclosure icon. You can sort of do the same thing in iPeng by holding your finger down until the context menu appears and then selecting Wikipedia but the one-click version in n-Stream is pretty slick.

Hello to Everyone. I am using AMX to control my home theater, there have been several threads over at AMX on how useful it would be for apps to be launched within tp control. I have attached the info from the thread, hope it helps. Also the link to Kaleidescape with more info. Much Appreciate your help Cheers Steve == Launching_Apps Application developers for iOS need to specifically implement support for the URI/URL method, in order to launch their application from other applications. It's trivial to do so, but it is best to contact the application developer to request the information in cases where the information may not be readily available. Kaleidescape have published the information within their 'Integrating with Kaleidescape' document, which is available here: http://www.kaleidescape.com/files/do...p-for-iPad.pdf In short, to launch the Kaledescape application from a link in TPControl use: TPCURL-kscape:// This can be implemented either on a buttons properties for 'command port: 0 - loopback port', or issued as a send_command from code. You may have missed this from earlier in the thread: Application developers for iOS need to specifically implement support for the URI/URL method, in order to launch their application from other applications. For example, Kaleidescape support the URL application launch method in their iOS application and publish the syntax in their documentation. Other developers of iOS applications may or may not provide a method e.g Sonos currently do not. However, in the case where a method does not exist, a hack is mentioned in this Sonos thread here: http://forums.sonos.com/showthread.php?t=18409 (page 2) It is typically trivial for developers to add support in iOS, so if you contact the manufacturer for details, they should be able to tell you whether they provide support or not. TPControl can launch any application that supports the method, using the TPCURL command. Android applications can inherently be launched without the developer needing to add support. The challenge is in determining the URL if not published, but again if unsure the best idea is to contact the developer. In summary, - iOS: a URL may or may not exist - contact application developer for confirmation - Android: a URL method will exist - contact application developer for details HK-Steve's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58269 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80575 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I can't remove it completely (or it would be that way for everybody) but I need another screen there for some other use case so eventually I can do an option to use something else, probably a music information screen, in it's place. A quick links page that lets you go directly to Allmusic.com for the current artist or album (plus other related searches) might be nice.

[slim] Refurb Squeezebox Classics available
This is the Logitech branded and renamed Squeezebox 3. I recently picked up a spare from buy.com via a third-party seller on their site: http://openrocket.store.buy.com/ It may just be a used model, not a refurb. However, it looks new, came with all accessories including remote and tested perfectly. Nice to have a spare, just in case something happens to my Squeezebox 2 (which has been running like a champ 24/7 for years now). The seller is excellent and I thought I'd recommend him here as he says he has a few more, which for whatever reason are not yet listed on buy.com. I recommend him because although there was a slight delay in shipping, once I contacted him and asked (after about 10 days), I got an immediate reply with an apology and explanation for the cause of the delay, and a choice of either canceling my order or waiting a couple more days and getting a $15 discount credited back to my credit card for my trouble. I thanked him for that -- more than I would have expected -- and it arrived 2 days later as promised. Beyond this I can't vouch for him one way or the other, but again, my purchase experience was really great and I got what I wanted for a decent price. So as a way of thanking him I offered to post his info here to maybe help drive some more sales his way. Here's what he sent in email: -- Steve, thanks! I do have some in stock but they are now $169.99. But you can mention to them that they will include a new remote (illuminated at night) it's the remote that actually came with the Squeezebox Transporter. If anyone is interested they can just paypal me direct at scontra...@sbcglobal.net $169.99 (Free Shipping) Please make sure they reference: BUY.COM Logitech Squeezebox Player + New Remote S.Fong Steven / OpenRocket -- I got mine for a little less than that, but I think that's still a pretty good price for anyone looking to pick up a spare for living room use or whatever and not really wanting or needing the more expensive Touch.

Re: [slim] Calling Sean Adams?
I agree entirely - the last thing we want in our living rooms is some hideous-looking geekbox. But the point about using a Pi is that it would be a purely digital transport and can be hidden away out of sight. Precisely. Like the Duet receiver, you don't have to look at it, it can be stuffed in a closet or tossed behind your amp. No fan, very minimal electricity draw. But yes, a bit geeky to get up and running -- not just plug and play out of the box, and the fact that it currently doesn't do Wifi out of the box is yet another downside. (On the other hand, it costs $35. I have an amp in a closet feeding my outdoor speakers, currently driven by a Duet receiver. If that guy dies, I'd look at hacking together a Raspberry Pi as a replacement, and I'm kind of interested in playing around with one even now just to see what's involved.)

Re: [slim] Accessing WNYC streams Problem - Help Test
Not working now - have you tried WNYC since Saturday afternoon? Both the AM and FM streams loaded via RadioTime have the same problem. In fact I was listening to WNYC 820 this morning on my Squeezebox Radio, around 8AM or so. Very odd. I see that the RadioTime web page has a problem tuning to 820, tries a few streams but does finally succeed. It succeeds more quickly with WNYC 93.9. So both work there. And these guys work (for MP3 streams): http://wnycam3.streamguys.com http://wnycfm3.streamguys.com courtesy of wnyc.org streams list, just pasting into Foobar2000, not necessary tried on the Squeezebox.

Re: [slim] Accessing WNYC streams Problem - Help Test
WNYC on my Touch via MySB and SBS and TinySBS is just the intro loop. I did get the AM one to play on TinySBS but a second attempt is just the loop. Thanks! Same as me then (absent tinysbs, which I haven't tried) I see my Radio is playing the AAC stream via RadioTime. That might be what's different. It plays fine. I see that the URL has a list of formats in it, starting with AAC, so that's probably why it gets chosen first. As another test, I just opened up SqueezePlay and chose WNYC AM 820 from the Internet Radio list in my local Squeezebox Server. Here's the URL I ended up with: http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s21605formats=aac,ogg,mp3,wmpro,wma,wmvoice,realpartnerId=16 That definitely works -- I see the AAC stream being converted to FLAC for streaming to SqueezePlay. I guess the Radio is getting the AAC stream natively, not sure. But it definitely works.

Let's say you have a folder with all of your music files called c:\music
Open Powershell and type the following two commands (hit enter after each):
$files = Get-Child-Item c:\music -recurse
foreach ($f in $files) { $f.LastWriteTime = $f.CreationTime }
That should do it. It will change the modified date of every
filesystem object inside c:\music to match its own creation date.

worked quite nicely for me on a test folder on my machine, so test it

Re: [slim] Reliable radio alarm clock
I'd like to buy a Squeezebox Radio, but it just seems fundamentally broken/flawed for what I want. In order of feature importance: I want a reliable alarm clock first and foremost. My primary concern as well. If your Internet or Wifi connection flakes out, the Squeezebox Radio uses an internal alarm sound that will get the job done (i.e., wake you up). So unlike some of the earlier Squeeze products it does have an internal clock -- it's not entirely dependent on a connection to a server somewhere. (My kids on the other hand have a Boom and there have been mornings where their alarm hasn't gone off due to lack of a Wifi connection, so they now have a low tech back up alarm clock as well. That's one of the main advantages the Radio has over the Boom, that internal clock and alarm sound.) SBB ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Reliable radio alarm clock
My Boom has always provided the backup alarm if there is no internet connection. (I use WiFi and msb.com, not a local server.) I do remember reading that it will only remember the next alarm when it loses connection. Huh. I'll have to check that. Apologies if I've provided misinformation. I can test it with my kids tonight and see -- maybe it just isn't loud enough to wake them! I've never been without internet for 24 hours and have never had a chance to verify this, bit it makes sense. But the bad news is that you can no longer get a Boom from Logitech... That's a shame. The sound quality is excellent -- much better than the Radio, though the Radio does sound pretty decent. But it's obviously based on that obsolete display technology, I guess all those products are end of life at this point.

The 'iTunes Plus format, which indicates a 256 kbps AAC file, has the same pricing levels as the old-fashioned iTunes music format (a 128 kbps AAC file with a proprietary DRM layer). This is nominally 99 cents US, but can very by 30 cents either way since tiered pricing was introduced earlier this year which allows labels to charge more for new releases and offer discounts for others. iTunes does not sell DRM and non-DRM versions of the same files; once the release is available as iTunes Plus, it is no longer offered in a DRM format. What you may be thinking of is the 'upgrade' offer that Apple made available for people who previously purchased a DRM file before the iTunes Plus format became available. Apple charges 30 cents US to 'upgrade' (replace) old tracks with new versions. This is a concern for people who bought music in the past, but is a negligible concern these days at the point of sale for those just starting a collection. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, iTunes Plus is now the default format even for most major labels. There is still a chance that you'll come across music you wish to buy that is in a DRM format, which would of course mean device lock-in and a potential future 30 cents per track payment to get iTunes Plus versions if they become available.

Hmmm, perhaps iTunes keeps the artwork in its own database. I don't use iTunes, I just assumed it would embed the artwork. I know Squeezebox server can display iTunes artwork. Someone else is going to have to clarify this point. Yeah, iTunes keeps its artwork in a separate database on your machine, in a folder called Album Artwork, which is a subfolder of the main iTunes folder that holds your main iTunes db. I think Squeezebox Server simply parses this db along with the regular db. The artwork can be extracted manually by right clicking the artwork, selecting copy and pasting it into an image editor or something. That's a lot of annoying work if you have a lot of artwork, but you can also extract the artwork with a script using the iTunes COM interface. Sonos, of all places, has a guide for embedding the art directly into your music that they at least claim is compatible with iTunes 9, but I haven't tried it. It's at https://sonos.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/sonos.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=688 In any event, the artwork is not locked away in iTunes forever, but it's definitely not as simple as just jpegs downloaded to a folder, which would be ideal. -Steve ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] mp3HD
iPhone wrote: I am following what you did now and it’s closer but I’m still not convinced. Will rip a CD with MP3HD and see what I see. But this is all still just storage. Is it really truly lossless when played back? If I had an MP3HD player I could check it with the program Phil and I have been using to check equipment. So you understand that all of the audio information is present in the file, but you're not convinced as to the quality of the decoding software? Fair enough, I guess. AFAIK, the WinAmp plugin included with the encoder/decoder package is the only thing available right now that plays back the format. If that is poor in quality (I haven't done any double-blind listening tests or anything), that doesn't make the format not lossless any more than a bad gzip implementation makes the gzip format lossy. The data is all in there, so it definitely *can* be played back losslessly; if the bits are there, they can be played back. Also, if the files are as large as they are, why bother? So what if the file will supposedly play lossless on a MP3HD player and the same file can be used on my iPhone. It takes up way to much room! I am still much better off having the two libraries I have now. One ripped to FLAC and one converted to MP3 from the FLAC files. PC/Server storage is big time cheap and getting cheaper every day. Why would I have a single collection of MP3HD files that is going to severally limit the number of songs I can put on my iPhone? Couldn't agree more. I don't see the utility in this format. I do the same thing with parallel FLAC/AAC libraries. If iTunes could handle a hybrid lossy/lossless format like WavPack, I'd probably be on board with that, however. -Steve ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] mp3HD
2009/3/23 Mark Lanctot: (among other things) All we know about mp3HD is that it's 16/44.1 only, and since it's proprietary, we may not know much more. Actually, the readme file that comes with the encoder says: This program encodes WAV audio files to mp3HD files. The WAV audio files have to contain plain PCM samples in mono or stereo with a resolution of 16 bit per sample. The sample rate is restricted to one out of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz. Anyhow, proprietary does not necessarily mean secret. It doesn't make any sense to distribute an encoder or license a third party to develop an encoder and then not inform the end user what type of uncompressed files the encoder is capable of processing. I couldn't agree more that WavPack has a superior implementation of this concept, though. I don't understand what having lossy and lossless all in one file like mp3HD gets you. I mean, yeah, you can play back the file on a legacy MP3 player and it'll play the lossy version, but that means you have to but a gigantic file on your iPod or whatever just to hear regular MP3 audio that's not even encoded with LAME (meaning no gapless play, among other drawbacks). The separate correction file method that WavPack uses would be ideal, but hardware support is almost non-existent. What's kept me maintaining separate lossless and lossy libraries so far instead of going the WavPack-only route is mainly that I can't play WavPack files on my iPod short of reflashing it with the RockBox firmware, which I just personally don't care to use. It's a viable one-library solution to maintaining only one library if you do happen to have a RockBox-capable player and a SqueezeBox, however. -Steve ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

From your post, it looks like you started with an MP3HD to start with and end up with WAV files to me Steve. Don't follow what that proved? If you look above, you can see that Steve started with a WAV file (test.wav) and used the encoder to turn it into an mp3HD file (mp3HD.mp3). He then used the decoder to turn that mp3HD file into a new WAV file (mp3HD.wav). He then compared the two WAV files: the original, and the WAV-mp3HD-WAV file, and found them to be identical. Clearly, mp3HD can be described as lossless, at least, if not actually useful :) Exactly right. The wav turns into an mp3HD file and then the decoder turns it back into a new wav. These are not just the same file in file size, but the Windows file compare utility shows them to be exactly the same, bit for bit. Test.wav and mp3HD.wav are the same file just as surely as if you copied the original file using the copy command, or put the wav in a zip file and then pulled it back out. If that's not lossless enough for you, then nothing is. Turn a wav into a FLAC file, and then decompress the FLAC to another wav and compare: you'll get the same result. Seriously, iPhone, if you doubt the results, try it for yourself at http://www.all4mp3.com/Software3.aspx (no Mac version, but I presume you either have Windows or Linux on your ToughBook). For those interested, the mp3HD file I made had a lossy bit that's 320 kbps CBR (if I understood the docs correctly). The file size of the MP3 was 26,262 kB with no tags, while the same file as a FLAC (level 8) with no tags is 21,315 kB. So about 5 MB difference, which would, I guess, account for the lossy bit. Not awful, but no great shakes. The wav I used to do the testing was actually uncompressed from a FLAC that I ripped with EAC from the newest Antony and the Johnsons CD. It's 4 and a half minutes, 16 bit stereo, 44.1 kHz. -Steve ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

There are 2 options when using the SB, yes? 1-) All the options like Internet radio etc etc 2-) Connect to squeeze network and have all the services such as LastFM Is this correct? If so, it is when I am hooked up to the SN that nothing works. -- Steve L Steve L's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23048 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59150 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Lost LastFm
Folks! I setup my squeezenetwork account and my LastFM account. Now on the internet services, Lastfm is gone. Can`t see it on the SB either. What have I done wrong?
