Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: FindArt plugin beta

2008-12-26 Thread bpa

Between browser caches, SC caches and Controller caches - sometimes it
can be difficult to "persuade" the updated art to show.

Getting to the art to show iun the browser is usually quicker than the
Controller as it is harder to clear the controller caches.

Things to do

1. Note location of SC cache directory (see WebUI Settings/Information
Tab) 
2. Stop SC.
3. Clear Browser cache. Stop browser. Restart Browser and clear caches
again.
4. Clear SC cache directories FileCache, a directory CoverArt (can't
remember the exact name but has Art in it) and templates.
5. Start SC.
6. Browser Music folder down to the tracks. Click on the artwork to get
it bigger in its own window - this also forces a re-fetch.

If the above doesn't work - then I'll work out some test to verify
cover art file.

Yes, it would be handy.. There's currently the 'song info...' option on the

contexts...

The tree view supports the standard windows Keypad '*' and Keypad '-' for
expanding and contracting nodes.. Be really careful of this though, expanding
a root node can lock moose for a fair while, and confuse it somewhat.. Probably
works best with the library nodes rather than the server ones..

Hope that helps,

Expand/Implode:
The * and - keys help only a bit ... some difficulties though:

1.) This key is hard to find on some Notebooks (EEE pc for example,
needs two keys pressed (Fn +key - no chance to do with a drink in one
hand) and is differnt on every PC. An icon would be the same anywhere,
possible to touch with a touchscreen and one-handed-mouse-klick (saves
the Whiskey).

2.) As you mentionned, the trouble is that pressing * on the "Library"

to the very end (which could be a bug?).

Having an "expanded" operation button would allow to expand only those

Slimserver 7.3.1 is running on an Infrant ReadyNAS with two SB3 as

here are my questions:

1.) Are there any limits as to the size of the library?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: FindArt plugin beta

2008-12-26 Thread lowjumpingfrog

It seems that a clear/rebuild database is the only thing that connects
the Album Art to the WebUI and the Controller UI. I thought I read that
deleting the SC cache  (/var/lib/squeezecenter/cache) forces a rebuild?
A cache purge on the browser doesn't work. I tried a machine that never
loaded the SC WebUI and the cover.jpg is missing after successfully
adding it with the plugin from another machine. This is the image
resource string in the SC WebUI for the large version of the Album
Art:
http://hostname:9000/music//cover.jpg
I would imagine the piece that goes between music/ and /cover.jpg comes
from the database? I am not familiar with the control loop on feeding
the WebUI or the controller UI but would it make sense for the plugin
to feed SC with the proper resource info after the Album Art is
successfully saved. Perhaps this is being done already? Also, I thought
base SC functionality was for a cover.jpg, folder.jpg, etc... to be
automatically processed in presenting the UI's?
Overall I think the Album Art plugin as designed is perfectly suitable
for the task of gathering Album Art. I like that the process of adding
album art is combined with listening. I have almost a 1000 albums.
About 50% have the correct artwork. The thought of completing the rest
is a daunting task. Doing it in small bits at a time is great.
Assigning album art is most certainly a meat computer (human in the
loop) activity since there seems to be no conclusive method for an
automatic selection of the correct artwork. Of course there is nothing
like doing this task correctly when the compressed files are created.
My rip/compress process has evolved over time, along with the various
tools that I used. Now I just use iTunes to embed the Artwork into the
files themselves as I create the files. That seems to work fine.
Back to the plugin ... Me thinks a slightly different search strategy
might be useful. Search for Artist first and then a search with in the
result for title.
Thanks BPA for your efforts. It has certainly made my use of SC much
more enjoyable!
Cheers

Puh, that's a kind of setup...

Actually I don't know of limitations in library size so far, but yours
is probably the biggest one I've heard of so far (as of the number of
albums, which is the critical point).

The REAL issue here is, that the ReadyNAS is not really a fast machine,
there are a lot of reports of it becoming pretty slow when delivering
data.

2. Unfortunately, iPeng has to reload the whole database everytime you
do a rescan. This is no iPeng limitation, SqueezeCenter is simply not
able to tell it what has changed. I filed an enhancement request on
this half a year ago but so far it's unclear, if and when it will be
implemented

3. Generally I would assume that plugins will slow down things instead
of speeding them up. With new schema (in SC 7.4) it may be possible to
implement an incremental update as a plugin, but I still hope this
functionality goes in natively.

Sorry that I cannot give you a more positive answer, but you really
have a combination of a very large library on a pretty low-spec NAS.

Does it help if you let iPeng just run for a while to load the database
(you should be able to see whether the whole database was loaded when
a) Album art starts to load
AND
b) (important in 1.0.4) you see that your album list is complete (Z...
is present).

If everything is loaded, I would quite iPeng (to make it save it's
cache) and restart it, actual operation of iPeng should not be affected
by the database size or the slowness of the NAS.

Hi Pippin,

I make a try with SqueezeCenter 7.2, Ipeng 1.0.3 and 10 Albums.
All was very nice with my P4 2.6 Ghz WinXP Sp3.

I decide to go with SC 7.3.1 with 1600 albums.
I can browse beautifully with Ipeng App, but when I clic a song nothing
happens.
So I upgrade to the 1.0.4. Same issue.

I uninstall SC 7.3 and return to the 7.2 and I have the same problem.

I have no idea ?

All is perfect with the Web interface and Ipeng Web.

I'm very frustrated because Ipeng App was full of promises for me.

IT TAKES AN HOUR

puh. Judging from the performance with my test library, which has
around 3.000 albums and takes 2 min to load on a 1 GHz Via C7 server
ReadyNAS seems to have really a hard time to provide this data.
Even if sorting does demand time on an incremental scale in iPeng 1.0.4
(will be better in the next release, but I tried to be conservative), I
would not expect it to need more than 5 min to process the 4.000 albums
so I would attribute the rest of the time on the ReadyNAS.

Does it get better (don't try, just in case you already did) if you
build the iPeng cache a second time WITHOUT doing a full rescan of the
database?
iPeng will also cache a few 100 artwork thumbnails after reading the
database. Ans while this works completely in the background for iPeng
(so it doesn't slow it down), the server will have to build those
thumbnails, since they have a different size than the ones SC uses by
default.
If this is part of the problem, I could add an option to use other
thumbnail formats in the next iPeng release.

I could be wrong. It is definitely not just 5 minutes. then again, on
the readynas duo, rescanning my music collection takes over night (14
hours) but when I do the same thing on an old XP laptop that I
sometimes use as a SC server, it takes one hour total. I haven't tried
the ipeng with the XP server. I'll play with that. And the next time I
rescan and use the readynas server I'll try to time it better. But the
readynas is very slow!  (although it streams my flac files just fine,
so it does work).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Dynamic Playlists in Favorites

When launched from favorites, some played and some didn't. 

When launched from the dynamic playlist menu, all worked.

Re-creating the favorite for the ones that didn't work made them work
again.

I think the problem was that I had created a folder for some of the
dynamic playlists and didn't create a new favorite after adding the
folder because I didn't realize it would break the link. 

I'll have to experiment more to be sure. I didn't test the new favorite
with an alarm yet. Just got home from 3 days away so will test more
later.

Hope you had a nice Christmas!

I'm glad you like it. I have not tried it yet, but you may also want to
try Erland's Title Switcher plugin for MusicInfoSCR...

I think the confusion here is the difference between displaying RSS
Feeds as a screensaver and displaying them through Home > Extras > RSS
Feeds > $someFeedName. In screensaver mode, RSS Feeds does not offer
any button control, and pressing an arrow button will do nothing (if
the Squeezebox is off) or kick you out of the screenaver mode (if the
Squeezebox is on and playing or idle). On the other hand (and I didn't
know this before investigating your note), if you get to the RSS Feeds
from Home > Extras > RSS Feeds, then you can use arrows to cycle
through headlines and text at your own pace.

I think most of the built-in screensavers behave this way. Many months
ago, I recall a conversation on the forums in which I mentioned using
buttons to cycle through information displayed by the SuperDateTime
screensaver. Some senior Logitech/Slim Devices staff (Dean?) expressed
surprise that there were such "interactive" screensavers. I would love
it if the RSS Feeds screensaver allowed arrow navigation -- as it is, I
can only stand to read one or two headlines in RSS screensaver mode
before I lose patience & give up. The RSS Feeds plugin is *much* better
in the interactive (Home > Extras) mode!

I just opened an enhancement request asking that manual control be
added to the RSS screensaver mode. Please vote for it if you agree.
Better still, if you can write Perl code, submit a patch! :-)

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Playlist Manager 3.1 help please

2008-12-26 Thread Aztek

Hi,

Just replaced Slimserver 6.5.2 with SqueezeCenter 7.2.1 on my SB3. 
Everything went flawlessly except that I can't get Playlist Manager to
work.  I've put it in the C:\Program
Files\SqueezeCenter\server\Slim\Plugin folder and rebooted
Squeezecenter.  The plugin box is checked but when I hold down + - it
sends the currently playing track to Zapped Songs instead of giving the
menu.

Can someone please point me in the right direction as I really love
this plugin and used it all the time on 6.5.2.

Cheers,
Mike

..got it working but not sure if it was the reboot or the fact that
I put it into C:\Program Files\SqueezeCenter\server\Plugins instead of
the other plugin folder.  Anyway - all good!.

Thank you Peter,

I am sorry, but I cannot write anything in Pearl ;-(. I voted for the
request.

Thanks again,
