Hi Angry Goat,

I am very aware that developers should earn money on selling their apps
to customers. But after the demise of WebOS and HP's deathsentence of
this OS. I think you should consider making Squeeze Control a free
app.

I have been away from Palm Pre for some months, and is now back from
the iPhone 4 with iPeng. I love iPeng. And I surely would also love
Squeeze Control. But because I live in a country where the Palm Pre is
not sold. I am unable to buy and DL your fine app.

Would you please consider giving it free, so that the rest of us still
using the Palm Pre, but being unable to DL it from App-store, can get
access to it. From our numbers you will never be rich anyway. We are a
dying race...

I live in Denmark and imported my phone from Germany.

Please!

Best regards - and thank you for your efforts.

Morten Enevoldsen

[slim] Artist appear in front of songtitle - so I have to wait for controller to scroll

2010-09-15 Thread excalibur

I have a SB Duet and encounter a problem. When I drill down into an
album, in the songtitle I always first see the artist. This is trivial
and cumbersome as I have to sit and wait for the artist to scrooll past
until I can tell the songtitle.

How can I get rid of artist in album view... ?

Please anyone got any idea...?

Same behavior is noted in the webinterface.

This has not always been like this so it probably has nothing to do
with TAGs. I have checked that the artist=tag is not "artist -
songtitle".

Re: [slim] MusicIP Rocks!

2010-05-21 Thread excalibur

Hi,

It seems you guys are the most knowledgeable on MusicIP after the
demise of the old dedicated forum. So I have a question to you lot.

Over the last 10 days I have analyzed close to 7000 songs with GenpuID
to the default.m3lib DB.

I have since then moved some songs around, and do now see that MusicIP
web GUI actually thinks that these moved songs are new. As they have
been added to the 'Songs to Validate'.

So in short, can I just leave the DB with my former folder-structure
and rest assured that MusicIP/GenpuID will locate the new path for my
songs and correct them in the DB? After all they have been analyzed and
stored in DB (which is what takes a really long time.

Best regards

Morten E.

Hi Joopski,

You most probably need to install the SSOTS QPKG from QNAP to actually
run the Squeeze-Server on your NAS.

http://www.qnap.com/pro_application.asp?ap_id=71
http://wiki.qnap.com/wiki/SSOTS_Installation

Have you played on that NAS before? If not - follow the above howto's
to make it work.

I would think that a normal user should only be allowed to add single
songs (without clearing the playing playlist). And with a power-user
password or user-customisable button-presses, should open up to allow
adding more than one song at a time (Dynamic-Playlists, MusicIP,
Genres, etc.). This to me would seem userfriendly and secure.

Interface would be Duet, web and what most people use. I have no idea.
(I'm a duet controller fan myself).

PS. Erland, I thank you for the great Dyn playlist, trackstat and other
of your fabulous plugins. You really make the world a better place...  
:)

Re: [slim] MusicIP Rocks!

2010-05-14 Thread excalibur

Hi guys,

I seem to have forgotten to actually commend Andrew from Vortexbox.
This Fedora distro really is a match made in heaven for the SBS.

I 'downgraded' from a QNAP 209 II Pro (500MHz CPU 256MB RAM), with QNAP
OS, that needed a special QPKG package to be able to install
Squeeze-server at all. Took me a long time to get up and running.

After 5 months of early love with my SB, I found out about the greatest
plugin of them all - MusicIP. Only to realise that my QNAP 209
architecture did not support it.

I then looked carefully into the first NAS I bought, that at the time
(I could not get going with either FreeNAS/ClarcConnect or SME-Server).
Actually not a NAS but just a thin client PC. (HP 5730, 1GHz CPU, 512 MB
RAM).

But during my first 5 months of SB'ing, I came across many appraisals
about the Vortexbox distro. So I got the HP 5730 up and running
replacing the 1GB Flash drive with an old laptop drive, and installed
Vortexbox. All went without a hitch. Squeeze-Server is built in and
restarted with the system. It even has Ripit installed that will rip
your CD's automatically to both FLAC and MP3 to each their folder and
eject the CD afterwards. Very sexy - and userfriendly indeed.
AFter 1 hour of work I was playing SB on the box... Not so on the QNAP.
Which was much more elaborate and finicky to get going.

I then muddled around getting MusicIP installed. No success until I
found out that Andrew had made a script to install it with one command.
Find it in the forum at www.vortexbox.org.

It went absolutely like in vaseline. Great.

But lately I have had some grieve as to get GenpuID working to tag my
FLAC files. But I think that it is there now.

This is by far the simplest and most quiet NAS I have ever seen. It
chucks quickly some heavier chores like running music-analysis. But I
was glad to see that when running GenpuID v. 1.2, each process only
takes approx 5% of CPU (hence you can run at least 6 parallel
instances, while playing on the server!), where the normal headless GUI
snatches 80-100 CPU processing, while doing the analysis. So I am really
pleased.

Let me just finish by saying that I too have developed a fine taste for
my relatively large collection of 16.000 songs. It really is as if you
just suddenly aquire lots more music, because you suddenly (or MusicIP)
gets aware about the more seldomly listened to tracks and finds mixes
where they perfectly match.

A very new and rewarding way of listening to music.

Thanks Aubuti,

But I found out it was because I used GenpuID v. 1.4. Apparantly it
doesn't work on my system. I tried with v. 1.2, which was quick in
doing the analysis. I think its there.

The log-file says - check. Everything green. So I think I got it.

Thanks for your help.

I start genpuid with this command
sudo /opt/genpuid/genpuid 57aae6071e74345f69143baa210bda87 -logex
-m3lib="/var/cache/musicip/cache/default.m3lib" -r "/storage/music/"
-archive

Any thoughts would be great.

Thanks

Re: [slim] MusicIP Rocks!

2010-05-12 Thread excalibur

Running GenpuID on a Vortexbox. There is no problem running it from the
web-GUI, but to archive fingerprints in TAGs I'd prefer to run it with
GenpuID. But when I do in the /opt/genpuid/log.txt I see that I have a
problem from the first automated script run this morning;

*

[2] Fingerprinting /storage/music/MP3/Suede/Coming Up/10 Saturday
Night.mp3
Wed May 12 04:03:24 2010
[0:00] Fingerprint failed (mis-execution):
/storage/music/MP3/Suede/Coming Up/10 Saturday Night.mp3
[2] Fingerprinting /storage/music/MP3/Suede/Coming Up/08 Picnic by the

[0:00] Fingerprint failed (mis-execution):
/storage/music/MP3/Suede/Coming Up/08 Picnic by the Motorway.mp3
** Stopping Processing

***

This really puzzles me. I know not how to proceed. What Can be wrong
with my GenpuID proccesing?

I couldn't see the changes in the cache file when I ran GenpuID, so I
changed the mmm.ini files in both locations "/opt/genpuid" and
"/opt/MusicMagicMixer"

>From default "/root/.MusicMagic/default.m3lib" to my customised
location "/var/cache/musicip/cache/default.m3lib".

So by now I presume that I am building the same DB whether I use
Headless GUI API port 10002, or GenpuID from command-line. And when the
daily cron runs, it runs my GenpuID and stores fingerprints to TAGs in
songs.

This should make it easier for me to recreate the DB if I ever have to…
God forbid.

I have now indexed about 2300 songs via the web-GUI. The DB is at about
700KB. Does this seem right?

When I run GenpuID I see the above shown result. And then there is
'silence' for a long time, and suddenly songs with pathes start
scrolling up my screen. To me this seems a bit odd. As I know that song
can not be analyzed that fast. And then GenpuID just exits. Hopefully
having done it's work.

Is there a reason why this guy runs BOTH GenpuID first AND then Web-GUI
on the same files…

http://wiki.slimdevices.com/in…..ng_Genpuid

In the section "Maintaining the MiP database".

Thanks for any help you may be able to spare… I am at my wits end here

Hi Modelcitizen,

OK - I found the setting here in the browser...

Server Settings/Behaviour in the section "Filter genres at the album &
track level"

Great it now works as expected and I can save a lot of space for
dublicate music.

[slim] Genre does not filter but takes all music by artist

2010-04-26 Thread excalibur

I am trying to make multiple genre tags pr. song. This is now configured
in the Server Settings/Behavior in the section 'Separator for multiple
items in TAGs'. The seperator character is ';'.

After a restart and deleting the index and a complete new rescan of the
music I see the following;

- Under genres the normal genres appear as well as the genre
'Testmusic' that I have made a dublicate genre next to the original
TAG. For instance Kraftwerk is Genre tagged with both 'Electronic' and
'Testmusic'. In the tag it is written like this Electronic;Testmusic
(separated by ';'.

This seems OK and both genres appear under Genres under 'My Music', as
intended.

When I enter the Genre 'Testmusic' I see Kraftwerk listed (perfect).
But The problem is that entering Kraftwerk I see all their albums, not
only the album that I have specifically TAG'ed as 'Testmusic'.

This pattern repeats itself with all other artists that have one or
more songs tagged as 'Testmusic'. This effectively makes the content of
my genre Testmusic way too big and of no use to me.

How can I make Squeeze Server filter to avoid artists marked with
testmusic, has all their music into the Genre Testmusic, instead of
only the songs I tag as testmusic? I only want to see the particular
songs marked as testmusic. Not the entire artist's discography 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
