Re: [slim] Double Metaphone based library search
Just curious if anybody ever experimented with this kind of thing before? Would the increased DB size and time-to-rescan be an issue at all? "Fuzzy search" has been on my list for years... but I haven't done any experimenting yet, tbh. The very first phrase in the wikipedia article about metaphone was somewhat of a bummer: "Metaphone is a phonetic algorithm, published by Lawrence Philips in 1990, for indexing words by their English pronunciation." But it seems DM improved support for other languages. As for the integration... I was wondering whether this should be a different column/index, or whether this could be a feature you enable, and thereafter all search indexes would be using DM. There is a CUSTOMSEARCH column in most tables which could be used by a plugin - and which is put in the fulltext index, too. That said, I could imagine that FTS and "fuzzy" search could result in a lot of false positives.

Re: [slim] Spotify Artist/Album only sometimes appears in Extended Text Display on transporter
I have just bought a transporter and am loving it and the Extended Text Display. However, when I am using Spotify (Spotty plugin v4.1.0 in LMS 7.9.2 Debian) I see different information displayed in the Extended Text Display (right-hand display on transporter) depending on the day I use it or maybe how I am selecting the music in Spotify: I can't work it out. Are you using the MusicInfoSCR screensaver to configure what should be displayed? In general the source can do little about what's being displayed. Except if eg. a source wouldn't provide distinct artist/album/track information, but only all in one. But then again Spotty should always return the full set as distinct values. At least that's what I'm seeing on my devices. Usually, for Spotify, the transporter's right-hand screen shows a single large scolling row displaying info such as: 2. by from Wheter you see one large line or two smaller ones is only a function of what font size you chose.

Re: [slim] Tidal v1.2 Plugins stopped working - are there alternatives ?
To my surprise, Tidal is still working without drop-outs, even after (2a + 2b), even though this returns the settings to their original state. What do you make of all this? Do you think that changes (1a + 1b) triggered something somewhere that actually fixed the problem? Or do you think that an intermittent problem at Tidal, or in my Internet connection, just happened to go away while I was doing these experiments? Intermittent problems can be a challenge. My bet would be on an intermittent problem somewhere along the connection from your player to TIDAL. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Tidal v1.2 Plugins stopped working - are there alternatives ?
at least for me the Tidal plugin stopped working. When trying to play a song it just skips it. Are you using LMS or connect to mysqueezebox.com? What kind of player are you using?

Re: [slim] Tidal v1.2 Plugins stopped working - are there alternatives ?
or Internet service. I suspect the problem is in mysqueezebox.com, Unlikely: the audio streams go directly from the service to your player (or LMS, should you be using it). The SB is much more sensitive to network issues than phones, as it has a minuscule buffer in comparison. because from the Touch menu Settings -> Advanced -> Diagnostics ->Server Info, I see that the IP address for mysqueezebox.com keeps changing every few seconds.

Re: [slim] TIDAL plugin request: play playlist from selected tune
The part of the cod that runs locally on LMS is in GitHub - but what might slow down your searches is that Tidal used to be WiMP I never forget the day I was reading their Norwegian documentation through Google translate...

Re: [slim] TIDAL plugin request: play playlist from selected tune
Who maintains the TIDAL plugin? I have googled but not found. Is it open source? Do they accept pull requests? I guess the first response is "me". The rest is a bit more complicated: while there is a publicly available plugin in LMS, it doesn't do much but handle the playback. Most of the functionality is implemented on mysb.com - which is not open sourced. I have a wish: when selecting a tune in a playlist I would like to play the rest of the playlist, starting with the selected tune. > > What happens today is that just that tune is played and then playing > stops.

Yes, that’s it.

It seems to be bothering you enough to be worth it :-). I'd probably just get rid of that symbol all together. It would only be used/shown on ip3k and SqueezeAmp with displays anyways.

Re: [slim] Cryptic chars in podcast app
So it's something with fontcache.xxx or stringcache.xxx. When I erase them, it's fine for "some time" Oh, I think I know what this could be (though it's surprising nobody would have reported this): on the old displays the plugin tries to display a symbol indicating whether a podcast has been played/partly played/not played. Now if you're controlling such a player there might be some side-effect on the web UI. See line 125 in Slim::Plugin::Podcast::Parser.

Not in stock LMS. On a related note, does the new Spotify library integration in LMS 8 add your newly saved albums to the New Music view, as if you just added files to your server?

Re: [slim] Can't connect to Spotty
I am not an SQL expert by any means but can work through most things given enough time. I only mentioned SQLite as an application which would need to be run outside LMS or busybox. Just to see whether additional programs can be launched. A simple "select * from albums limit 10" would be good enough as a first test. However, I suspect that the sqlite is not having a problem (at least not a big problem that is affecting everything) because I can use LMS to select tracks/artists etc from my local music using LMS UI and various controllers to play music without any obvious problems. SQLite can be embedded in other applications. That's what LMS is doing. My suggestion would be using the external CLI client to SQLite which would run in its own memory space etc. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Can't connect to Spotty
