The reason it happen more often in your library might just be because your library contains different albums than bakker_be's. If you only want to listen to the same type of music you shouldn't use SugarCube, the purpose of SugarCube is that it will not stay within the genre, it will walk away into other genres, sometimes faster and sometimes slower and there is no way to know in advance exactly where it will end up because there is a random element involved. As bakker_be said previously there could possibly be something wrong with the analysis MusicIP has done previously on some of your tracks, causing it to switch genre faster in your library, but it could also just be the composition of your library that are causing it. Re-ripping the albums and re-analyze them with MusicIP might be a solution but I'm personally not sure it's going to change anything. erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73988 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

That's wonderful news, thanks for trying. Its still very early stages.
Its Changing very rapidly at the moment.
I stupidly named the "squeezetray" without googling first. I now know
this application needs a new name, and best done now while the
documentation is low.
What name should this little GUI have?
if no one comes up with a better name I will call it "SqueezeWxTray".

This is a bad sign, do you have any squeezeboxes connected to the
server?
If you do, it either suggests you downloaded it a few days ago, as I
think it
was broken at one point, and an upgrade is needed.
Veggen wrote:

Ok, this is a very good sign, It means you have a Squeeze server
installed, and connected the client to it correctly.
Veggen wrote:

They wont as no player is selected. :)
I have improved this in the new version, and "The play/pause/next etc. "
stuff now only appears when the players are found.
If you have more than one "squeezebox" that plays music, you also get a
player switcher submenu.
Veggen wrote:

Perfect guess :)
I have made a lot of code changes over the past few days. Could you
please go into
your git checked out directory, and type
$git pull
Writing objects: 100% (10/10), 970 bytes, done.
Total 10 (delta 8), reused 0 (delta 0)
To yourgitserver.example.org/squeezetray.git
4938eec..61b047b master <- master
To get the latest version. I know an older version had some debug
statements such as "self.mapping {}". I have removed a
lot of these, and the plan is to put in the standard logging, and and
installer / README.
I removed this mapping system, from the "server Id" to "Player Name",
during a code clean up.
I changed the code to be more and more Model, View, Controller Pattern.
The model is updated from the server using json http, using a view as a
thread pool.
Callbacks on changes to the model to the Controller can then trigger
further things.
In this case another View is triggered to display the model as the
StatusBar and Tooltip,
which shows details about the current track playing, and server status.
What name should this little GUI have?
Any suggestions ;)
Owen
I guess we should open a new thread when some one comes up with a good
new name for the application currently known as "squeezetray" and uses
wxpython as its GUI.

As far as I know SugarCube still works in this way. In the early days the algorithm wasn't as solid as it is now, so I'd use the built-in MusicIP mixing function to generate a basic seed mix, after which SugarCube took over, mixing in a new track each time upon playing a track of the seed mix. Now I just use the random music function, set to give me 1 track, and I let Sugarcube handle it from there. It's quite often that I don't need to "shake out" a new seed track for days on end. I've never seen behaviour like what Morbeas is experiencing. The only "glitch" I have is the existence of the nearly identical tracks on several different albums (initial studio album, various artists compilation, artist compilation, live album) that sometimes get played with for instance just one song between them, sometimes even jumping back & forth, but that doesn't disturb me enough to bother CParker with it. Given that Morbeas seems to have this issue solely with Metallica-based mixes, I'd suggest that he re-rip his albums and analyse them all over again. I'd even be willing to put my files on dropbox or some other service for him to try out in his system. bakker_be's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30369 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73988 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I think that's quite clear by now. > If I remember correctly, SugarCube adds one track at the time and use the previous one to seed the next one. So, if you get a SugarCube playlist as this (which you posted recently): - Ride the Lightning by Metallica - Caught In a Mosh by Anthrax - Stop by Death Angel - Row Of Crows by Chris Poland - The Curse by King Diamond - Dancing On The Edge by Badlands - It Ain't Like That by Alice In Chains - Deserted by Blind Melon - The House That Jacks Buit by Aretha Franklin SugarCube only uses Metallica for seeding "Caught In a Mosh" by Antrax. And "Caught In a Mosh" is used for seeding "Stop", and "Stop" is using for seeding "Row of Crows" and so on ending with "The House That Jacks Buit" being seeded based on "Deserted" by Blind Melon. However, this is how it worked a long time ago when I used SugarCube myself last, this might have changed in the recent version so SugarCube uses the same seed track for multiple tracks and in that case the current behavior looks a bit strange. erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73988 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Best practice using LMS with Windows Home Server 2011
I have recently installed LMS on WHS 2011 HP Proliant Microserver having moved it across from my PC. I would be interested to know what other users, using this setup, do. I have LMS running under administrator and it starts as a schedule task rather than a service. Therefore the admin user is always open on the server. What can be regarded as best practice. I also have remote web access enabled so I would like to make the server as secure as possible. I look forward to any replies.

Hi Triode, This NAS is at my parents place and i'm moving to my own house next week and when i buy my own NAS i already know i'm going to buy an Intel based one. Probable a 412+ or a 1512+ or something which are both Intel based. I'm using the Airport express for now at my own home when i get that one next week as i don't have the money for the server yet. But after i tried that i'll exchange the Airport for the LMS and let you know. If it works fine, i'll just leave the Airport at my parents place and i'll take the LMS. For them it's better to use Apple stuff anyway as they're kind of bad with Technological things haha ;) Thanks for you help :) And maybe i can try it at my computer here too by the way as that's of course also Intel.
