Hm, i can't reproduce this. I don't get an alphabet bar but instead I get a dot bar that you can use to slide through the list. It's not alphabetic so you can't select a start character but it works. Does the list completely load? These lists can be long, thousands of items (at least for me) so it can take a while. What is your server running on?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] WD MyBook Live NAS
Hi Nasalhair, I just was also fighting my way through running Logitech Media Server Version 7.7.1 - r33735 on my MyBook Live 3TB yesterday. I've come across 2 problems, both can cause what you see in your log: 1) /tmp is too small. This was mentioned before in this thread (reletad to bug 17471 that is open with the developers). When updating the index, the LMS seems to make a lot of use of /tmp. The MBL has only 50M. That will cause the re-indexing to break and leave you with a partial or empty database. Many thanks to fjunger for pointing me into that direction! You could argue that no software should fail in this way just because it ran out of memory. It should be possible to catch such problems and come up with a plan B when /tmp space is short... But I also didn't understand why the makers of the MyBook provided it with only 50M of tmpfs space. This is what I did: mount -o remount,size=500M /tmp That may be a bit too much (it would allow to use all swap for /tmp), but it solved my issues with re-indexing on the fly - the next index recreation worked. You can make the change permanent (until the next Mybook OS upgrade) by editing /etc/fstab. 2) When you have many pictures (album art or other pictures that get indexed), your artwork.db in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache will grow rapidly and may eat up all space on your root partition in no time (it has only 2G). When that happens, you are also stuck and get similar error messages. Check / with df - when it is at 100% that is your problem. I did the following: /etc/init.d/logitechmediaserver stop cd /var/lib/ mv squeezeboxserver /CacheVolume/ ln -s /CacheVolume/squeezeboxserver/ ./squeezeboxserver /etc/init.d/logitechmediaserver start For me this helped (but I had to redo some configuration).

I think mostly, it's likely to be the way that DynamicPlaylist works. I just return the next track to play, when I handle a request from Dynamic Playlist to queue another track. I can probably make this work better - check the position of the currently playing track, and only queue a new track when it's at the end of the playlist. In fact, I meant to make this honour the other DynamicPlaylist settings. "Now Playing will show upcoming songs and recently played songs", rather than just add a single future track each time a new track is played. So I'll probably implement that next. >One thing that would be cool is if it could be enabled all the time, >like Sugarcube is, instead of having to kick it off and then having it >stop when something new is played.

Dynamic Playlist works by automatically turning off when something else is played. i.e. the user doesn't have to remember to turn it off when queueing up other music to play. I don't think I can stop that behaviour, if I want to use Dynamic Playlist to handle the playlist size/history. Best to use SugarCube if you want to add songs into a mix and evolve from that. ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: License Manager, plugins/applets going commercial
Yes in the playlists that Erland mentions, you should be able to reproduce the bug. However I do se the alphabetical silk-band in the right side of the artists selection as a second input after you have selected the playlist that Erland mentioned above. But when I do click one of the letters, I do not get to the letter that I clicked on. So the feature is not working. Thanks for clarifying Erland. And no I won't hold you to a certain release date. I didn't turn sour overnight... Just proving my point.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Sugarcube not honoring minimum ratings
Hi Philip, Dynamic Mix has been working well. If I am moving around to different players a lot, it tends to rack up a bunch of extra tracks at the end of the playlist, but this isn't a bit deal. So far it hasn't let any 1-2 rated tracks slip in. One thing that would be cool is if it could be enabled all the time, like Sugarcube is, instead of having to kick it off and then having it stop when something new is played. With Sugarcube, there was a setting, "Only Queue a New Track if Playing the last Track on the Playlist" and with this checked, I could get endless music without having to think much about it as long as a local file was the last thing in the playlist. -- MeSue SUE 1 Touch | 2 Booms | 2 Radios | 1 Duet | 1 SB2 HP MediaSmart EX470 | Logitech Media Server 7.7.1 | iPod Touch & iPad w/ iPeng Find me on 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue) | 'Twitter' (http://twitter.com/suechastain) | 'Rhapsody' (http://www.rhapsody.com/members/mesue) -*Logitech!

The issue is that:
- There is a bug in the SQL Playlist and TrackStat provided playlist
templates
- There is a bug in the Dynamic Playlist plugin
The result of these bugs is that the "textkey" attribute isn't sent to
iPeng or any other SqueezePlay protocol based application. The contents
is still sorted by ARTISTSORT tag, so the "text" attribute strings won't
be strictly alphabetically as some artists probably have a ARTISTSORT
tag that differs from the ARTIST tag, my guess is that this makes iPeng
hide the alphabet bar.
You will reach these kind of menus by selecting for example:
- Dynamic Playlists/Random/For selected/Random songs by artist
- Dynamic Playlists/Random/For selected/Top rated songs by artist
With SQL Playlist you can also create your own menus with the same
functionality. I'm not sure if excalibur have defined custom playlists
with SQL Playlist or if the issue is with one of the above, but either
way it will be fixed in next versions of my plugins as I will correct
both the templates and the Dynamic Playlist bug. It works with iPeng
after I've corrected it in my own setup so the "textkey" is part of the
message, but I need to make sure I've covered all cases and test it a
bit before releasing it to the public.

Ok, it's the first time I've heard about it, if you have mentioned it
previously and I've forgot it I do apologize.
It will be fixed in next version, that usually means days or weeks, not
months or years as it would be with Apple, Logitech or any other major
company of your choice. I'm not going to give you an exact release
date, pretty much the same way as you won't get an exact release date
of bugs corrected by Apple, Logitech or any other big company.

Instead what I mean is that when I pick a Dyn. Playlist (made in SQL playlist) from Erland, I have selected to make a user-selection of artist in this playlist. This playlist is called 'Top rated songs from artist - 4+'. So when I have selected this dynamic playlist, I am presented a list of artists... This selection is problematic as my Artists list is enormeous, hence the artists lists provide me a 'silkband' in the right side of the list, so I can jump to a particular artist starting-letter directly. That jump does not work as advertised, and the way it does in the normal artists-lists.

not empty the whole library as changes to e.g. album art aren't coming
