Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Custom Browse and playing other songs in album
D'oh! I think there's a law that covers this kind of situation. For my tests with the 'play all songs in album' option I'd managed to choose an album for which I only have one track! No wonder I could only get one track into the playlist! Just to summarise: I've now set the global SC option 'Play Other Songs In Album' to 'Play only selected song', and I've unchecked the 'Play all songs in selected album' option in every Custom Browse menu. With these settings: - if I press the play button on an individual song from anywhere in the Boom menus, then only that song plays - if I press the play button on an album title, the whole album is loaded. Exactly what I was looking for. -- chill chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61923 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Custom Scan: Not importing all iTunes ratings
erland;411560 Wrote: Are you saying that it works if you check the use album rating check box ? Does it only work for unrated tracks ? It only works on unrated tracks. The full turn of events was: I scanned (to get my test tracks in actually) I noticed that a new album was rated 4 stars for every song Looking back at iTunes only one song was rated in that album I noticed my 'use album rating' box was checked Since then I have rated all songs in that album. My overnight scan transferred these ratings to the album, including the songs within that album with problem characters in! However, I still have tracks with no ratings in SC. These are ones that are rated in iTunes but have the problem characters in eg Gravity's Rainbow. I'll have to set this up in my own environment but since I do this on my spare time I haven't had the time to do it yet. That would be most appreciated. If you want my test files (abcdef) I can upload to my server and email/PM you the links, just say. I also did a couple more investigatory things. On problematic files (abcdef', abcdef[] and abcdef) I rating then all as 1 star in SC using TrackStat. I then rated then as 4 stars in iTunes. Each night I do a complete rescan and I want to see if having then as rated in SC allowed then to update with the iTunes rating, it didn't. This morning the three files are still rated as 1 star. Again, I'm not sure if that helps, but I thought it might point the finger at something!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Wave Input plugin v1.00
raglencross;410842 Wrote: I don't know if you are still out there Lastman, but I would like to know if you finally got wave input to work under Vista with your Soundmax card. I have the same card and following your instructions, I too was able to get a stereo mixer under recording devices. Selecting it still does not give me an output via the wave input plugin except when I loop the PC's headphone output to the line input with a cable which I was able to do anyway without the mixer using headphones and line input. I am beginning to suspect that one the reason the mixer is disabled on full duplex cards is that the same thing can be accomplished by a physical loop back, although with a loss of sound quality due to analogue/digital conversions. Comments anyone? Sorry for the delay, just found this! My situation is slightly different from yours. The sound chip is on my laptop, and it lacks a line-in, only a microphone socket. I am not trying to get wave-input to work as it only works where the computer you are using is also your SqueezeCenter server. To get sounds out of my Squeezebox from my laptop I would have to use some software capable of converting system sounds on the laptop into an MP3 stream that could be broadcast over my network. Either way, to get sound out of the Squeezebox either using wave-input or MP3 net-casting you still need a proper sound interface. Using the Soundmax on-board chip I can only get system sounds recording running partially. I found that enabling the stereo mixer function did not allow me to record using stereo mixer as the source, but strangely the PC sound would now be recordable if I selected microphone as the source - Weird! However the sound quality was awful. Tinny and compressed, lacking both high and low frequencies. A bit like AM radio. I have not tried the cable loop like you, but I doubt it would give reasonable sound quality either I think the lack of a line-in function and no proper system sound recording is a deliberate policy on most laptops for some reason. Maybe it is too much of a resource hog, or perhaps it is a copyright protection thing. So I abandoned that option. I have since found a couple of low cost USB bus-powered sound interfaces on the web and am thinking of trying one for those occasions when I need proper sound recording / processing on the laptop. Cheap and cheerful (£25 / $35), basic specification using in-built Windows drivers: http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UCA202.aspx More expensive (£65 / $90) but with higher resolution recording functions, bespoke ASIO drivers etc: http://www.roland.com/products/en/UA-1EX/ The second is probably over-kill for recording laptop sounds or for use with wave-input plug-in. However, if your computer is desktop PC, I suggest disabling the on-board sound in the BIOS and using a proper sound card. One of the Creative labs line should do the trick. The Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio can be had for about £35 / $50. -- TheLastMan Matt SB Duet (Controller + two receivers) Synology Diskstation 107+ with FW 2.0-0731 SqueezeCenter 7.3.2 on Synology Package Manager Naim 42/110 amp, BW CM2 speakers in living room.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
Erland, in -bitrates.cb.xml- the Bitrates are presented -reverse
alphabetically sorted- (instead of numerically sorted).
This is due to the following code you use:
Code:
menudata
select case when lossless=1 then 'Lossless'
else floor((bitrate+16000)/32000)*32000 end as calculatedbitrate,case when
lossless=1 then 'Lossless' else concat(floor((bitrate+16000)/32000)*32,' kbps')
end from tracks
where
audio=1
group by calculatedbitrate
order by calculatedbitrate desc
/menudata
The case statement will always return the compatible aggregated type
of all return values, which is -STRING- in this case. Thus, numerical
bitrate values will be sorted alphabetically instead.
Unfortunately, the Lossless in the SELECT cannot be represented by
some arbitrary number like -MaxInt- in order to always get a numeric
result, because further searches would then fail.
I came up with a quick 'n' dirty solution to patch up my Bitrates
menu, but maybe you have a better idea?
I use a zero-padded calculatedbitrate string for now, but there must
surely be a better solution. Heres the code:
Code:
menudata
select case when lossless=1 then 'Lossless'
else right(concat('000',floor((bitrate+16000)/32000)*32000),11) end as
calculatedbitrate,case when lossless=1 then 'Lossless' else
concat(floor((bitrate+16000)/32000)*32,' kbps') end from tracks
where
audio=1
group by calculatedbitrate
order by calculatedbitrate desc

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Sending music from Musicip
Something I've never seen mentioned here, and if it has,please excuse me, is the fact that you can directly send playlists and music from the MusicIp GUI to SqeezeCenter. You just set up in preferences-Send To Squeezecenter as your choice. Then any mix you make you just hit the send to button and it will start playing on your Squeezebox. You can highlight songs from your library and send those too. Kind of nice feature for running you Squeezebox from your computer and a bit easier than the SC interface for some things. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61994 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Consolidating albums with tracks in multiple directories?
Thanks! So, it appears this bug fix has been applied to 7.3.3, but after I grabbed the nightly snapshot, installed, and completel re-scanned my library, I still have this problem. The album and artist name tags are the same for all tracks, the main difference being composer - and hence a different directory in my library. Is there anything else I can try here? This is a really annoying problem for me as many classical CDs have multiple composers. -- PaulyT - Paul PaulyT's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25714 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60555 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Consolidating albums with tracks in multiple directories?
Note that this is not a variable artists issue. The album, artist, and album artist are the same for each track. It's using either the composer or (more likely) the directory as the grouping flag; that is, if three of the tracks all have composer X, then there will be an album with just these three tracks in it (along with separate albums of the same name with the other composers' tracks). -- PaulyT - Paul PaulyT's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25714 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60555 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] plugin browse menu help request
Slim::Plugin::Base type plugins are definitely supported, the Random Mix plugin contains some different menus so it should be a good starting point if you like to see how to do things. If you don't get it to appear on the Controller at all it probably doesn't call Slim::Control::Jive::registerPluginMenu during the initialization. You typically want to call this function somewhere inside the initPlugin or postinitPlugin subroutines. Feel free to to post some code if you don't get it to work and someone can take a look at it to see which parts are missing. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) 'My download page' (http://erland.isaksson.info/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61106 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
