[slim] Alarms in 7.2 missing one critial feature
All of the new alarm features added in 7.2 are extremely helpful. It's now extremely close to the features I've enjoyed in kdf's ExtendedAlarm plugin for quite a while now. The ONLY thing keeping me from using the built in alarm is the lack of a way to turn shuffle on when the alarm is triggered. Many times I have shuffle turned off late in the day, but want the alarm to play a random song in my playlist so I'm not always waking up to the exact same song every morning. I'm currently getting this functionality in the ExtendedAlarm plugin so the priority isn't very high. I just figured since some effort has been put into adding alarm features, this one should be thrown in the mix. -- kyleki kyleki's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2510 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52838 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Multiple album art formats supported?
I've slightly modified the code you gave me to add a little extra logic
in determining
when it should do the image conversion. It will also remove a
cover.png file that
exists in the same folder that a cover.jpg is in, leaving just the .jpg
version.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
traverse()
{
# Traverse a directory
cd "$1"
if [ -s "cover.png" ]; then
if [ ! -s "cover.jpg" ]; then
pngtopnm cover.png | pnmtojpeg > cover.jpg
else
/bin/rm -f cover.png
fi
fi
ls | while read i
do
if [ -d "$i" ]; then
echo "Directory: $i"
# Calling this as a subshell means that when the called
# function changes directory, it will not affect our
# current working directory
(traverse "$i" `expr $2 + 1`)
fi
done
}
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
traverse . 0
else
traverse "$1" 0
fi
Thanks a lot for your pointer in this area as it seems to be working
well.
I am still curious, however, if this conversion should be necessary.
Does
anyone have an opinion on this?

It turns out the errors were due to some tags in my files. After launching slimserver with "--d_scan --d_paths --d_mp3 --d_info", I was able to see the file names that were causing the problem. The debug output was placed in the logfile on the server (/tmp/slimserver.log). I cleared the id3 tags on the "bad" files and reset them using 'Zortam Mp3 Media Studio' (http://www.zortam.com/) (I just found this online while trying to fix my tags from my networked Windows box. Otherwise I would have used 'EasyTag' (http://easytag.sourceforge.net/) in Linux). I'm fairly new to utilizing debug flags and found the ones I listed to at least get me the info I was looking for.

[slim] IMMS plugin for slimserver?
At work (and sometimes at home) I rely on XMMS (in Linux) to listen to my mp3s. I've grown accustomed to a plugin named 'IMMS' (http://www.luminal.org/wiki/index.php/IMMS/IMMS) that notices which songs I play and those I skip and rates them accordingly. It also analyzes the different song's bpm and tonal qualities to attempt to play similar songs consecutively. When I place my entire library in the playlist and randomly play it, I really like the choices IMMS makes for me. The developer, Michael Grigoriev, has developed this as "generic adaptive playlist framework" and "plugins for other players should be relatively easy to add" (see v2.0 notes on http://www.luminal.org/wiki/index.php/IMMS/ChangeLog ). I'm hoping this is the case for some possible integration with slimserver.

The problem is, I can't afford to add one SB2,3 plus speakers plus amp in every room of my house. If I could buy one Slim boombox to carry with me throughout the house, I'd do so in a heartbeat for around $400-$500. I would like to see one with a CD player and FM tuner to give it more value away from the home as well.

How awesome! If Slimdevices were to take their proven hardware skills to provide a solution like this with the slick look of their recent Squeezeboxes, I would push women and children out of the way to get my hands on one (not really, but you get the idea). ;-) Heck, it would also be nice to still have a CD player & tuner on the box for when you want to take it out of a hotspot area. I was seriously considering making my own, but the time and effort I'd have to put into it wouldn't be worth it. Especially since I know my end product wouldn't be anywhere near the quality Slimdevices could put out. Does anyone know if they're even considering doing this at Slimdevices?

Cool! I've gone and done my whole 9000 song library using the
following script. Thank you very much for your help!:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
$FindCmd = "find /data/music/mp3/ -mindepth 1 -type d -print";
$i = 0;
open( FINDCMD, "$FindCmd |" ) or die "Can't execute $FindCmd: $!\n";
while( )
{
chomp( $line = $_ );
# Take care of escaping special characters in file name
$line =~ s/\(/\\\(/g;
$line =~ s/\)/\\\)/g;
$line =~ s/\!/\\\!/g;
$line =~ s/\?/\\\?/g;
$line =~ s/ /\\ /g;
$line =~ s/\[/\\\[/g;
$line =~ s/\]/\\\]/g;
$line =~ s/'/\\'/g;
$line =~ s/"/\\"/g;
$line =~ s/\&/\\\&/g;
print "DEBUG: $i: $line\n";
$Mp3GainCmd = "mp3gain -k ${line}/*.mp3";
open( MP3GAINCMD, "$Mp3GainCmd |" ) or die "Can't execute $Mp3GainCmd: $!\n";
while( )
{
print "$_";
}
close( MP3GAINCMD );
print "\n\n";
$i++;
}
close( FINDCMD );

I'll copy a couple of my albums into a separate directory and start playing with this command then. Do you know if it's possible to have both Track and Album gain tags in a single file? For example, sometimes I like to randomly listen to my music and other times I like to listen to single albums. Depending on how I'm listening to my music that day, I'd like the "Smart" gain feature of the Slimserver to use the right tag, assuming they're both assigned.

As I mentioned in my post, I'm not using Windows; I'm using Linux. Do you know if the '-a' parameter to the mp3gain command-line does what you're talking about? My understanding is that you can only choose one of Track Gain or Album Gain, but not both when using mp3gain. Is this not true? I'm so confused...

[slim] Re: replaygain = mp3gain??
This thread has been dormant for a little while now, so I hope there's still someone listening. After reading through it I now understand what mp3gain does to mp3 files, and what ReplayGain is. But what software can I use to apply ReplayGain tags without changing the volume at every frame? I'm not interested in mp3gain because: 1) I don't want to choose between Track & Album normalization. 2) I like the ability to play the files back 'as-is' by simply turning off "ReplayGain" on my Squeezebox. My only problem is figuring out how to apply the "normalization" via just the ReplayGain tag in the file header. I see a lot of references to Foobar2000, but I'm running Linux and I'm not a big fan of Wine. Any good Linux programs out there that can handle this (simple) task?
