Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Smart Mix plugin
1) Is there a way to know which songs in your collection (I have around 8+ local songs) can be used / are recognized by EchoNest or not? The plugin actually does this task to get rid of removed tracks. But to protect users from the rate limit the process is seriously throttled (max. 6 requests/min per user) in a background task. Ok, next release will log missing tracks to a smartmix-missing.log file (linked from the plugin's settings page). Turns out to be quite useful. And frustrating to see how many tracks are not recognized. There definitely is a pattern: any kind of addition to a track or artist name like feat. somone else, (part x) etc. is prone to failure. Don't know whether I bother enough to modify my tags to work around this though... -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotifys Complete Collection - possible?
Hi, Spotify has this very cool addon called The Complete Collection, which essentially is complete CD-booklets browsable (and of course playable) through their client. Something like this would be infinitely cool and useful to have in the Squeezebox-system. I couldnt find any info, but I'm guessing Spotify has an agreement with the rightholders - and thus it would not be straightforward to adapt, but is there any info out there? Could something similar be achieved? How exactly does Spotify obtain rights and access to the booklets? The closest to date are the excelent albumreview/bio-plugins from mherger.

Sorry, my mistake, I missed the word between in your original sentence and read after for some reason. TrackStat will generate a changedstatistic CLI notification when a play count is changed and a changedrating CLI notification when a rating is changed if you like to refresh them between scans. These notifications will of course only be issued when TrackStat is used, but that's probably good enough because I only think ratings are changed between scans if TrackStat is used.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Spotifys Complete Collection - possible?
Unfortunately the music industry hasn't understood that things like this would get us to buy more music not less, so they tend to charge anyone that want to show information like this a lot so it's almost impossible to do without some kind of commercial agreement or violating the licenses/copyrights and scraping their web sites for the information. Things would be a lot easier if they focused at selling their music and offered all possible information to third parties to reasonable fees to get help to accomplish that. I'm not sure if 'The Complete Collection' (http://www.sosoactive.com/the-complete-collection-spotify-app-review/) app is provided by Spotify itself or if it's provided by some third party. Spotify apps like this is only available through the computer Spotify client, it's not even available on their iPad client, so it's not accessible through the Spotify API which the Squeezebox Spotify plugins uses. The best information source for something like this would probably be allmusic.com, but unfortunately their license agreements is totally off the charts if you want to do something in a small company or even worse if you like to do something for free. It's probably possible for Logitech to do something but I think it's unlikely since they seem to be focused more at simple radio listeners than music enthusiasts with their new UE products. The original plan with the 'SMD' (http://socialmusicdiscovery.org) project was to accomplish something like this but unfortunately our progress during the last year has been pretty slow due to lack of spare time and lack of development resources. I think the closest you can get on the Squeezebox today, except for those you mentioned, is probably the commercial 'MUSO' (http://klarita.net/muso.html) Windows application. erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97735 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MUSO - Support Thread
I have just been spending a bit more time getting to learn how to use Muso. For classical music fans, it really is the best (Windows) software I've seen. For the first time in a long time, a piece of software made me laugh (with joy) when I discovered the group tracks feature. Having ripped a load of CD's and used the name of the work as part of the title of each track, this now gives me a great display of the album. In addition, for multi-CD sets, I have now worked out how to group the CD's into one album, so now I can see works grouped within CDs within albums. Now the display looks just like it is on the CD insert (you would have thought this would be an obvious requirement, but most software only contemplates tracks within (single CD) albums!). Hurrah! So happy, I have whizzed off my 20 Euros straight away. Just one question relating to this: how are the track groups stored? I assume that the original music file and LMS db are unchanged and that Muso holds some meta-data somewhere, in which case is there a risk of losing it on clearing and re-loading the database (I have had to do this once as it seemed to fail to pick up some changes in the normal LMS sync)? Also, once the software is in a reasonably mature state, perhaps a little more user documentation would help people get the best out of it quicker? Many thanks.

Indeed, the CD insert appearance was what I was going for, with tracks grouped by work (via Group Heading) with a nice title above, and the track-listing also divided by disks if the meta-data includes this. If you input Group Header in Muso it doesn't get stored anywhere else (in track tags or pushed to LMS) so you do run the risk of losing this metadata if you are prone to clearing your database regularly. For me my muso database IS my master though so I never do this - the LMS database is secondary (I'm much more likely to clear this). However, the Group Heading CAN be fed from any custom tag on an LMS synch, so you can adopt the approach of defining these in your track's embedded tags, configuring them in the LMS custom tag plugin and pulling these across to Muso (into Group Heading). If there was a standard embedded tag ID for this I could also read it from a file-scan, but this isn't there yet. I do think we need to start a wiki on muso - anyone know how/where to set up a free one? I'd start it, but would allow contributions from key users also. jezbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I have mapped my Opus custom tag to groupheading and that works fine, except that, because each of my tracks is structured like this - Opus : Movement, Muso recognises Opus as the group heading and correctly removes it from the title, but it leaves the colon mark at the beginning of the title (movement). If I set the groupheading within Muso rather than mapping it , then the colon disappears and everything looks OK. Another slight niggle is that the group heading doesn't seem to appear in the edit tracks listing. My Opus field is listed, but some way off to the right and there is no way I can see of re-ordering the columns.

Firstly the profile export always seems to end prematurely missing about 2000 tracks out of 24000. This is accompanied by a message that the scan has ended unexpectedly. Secondly every new and changed scan seems to perform a full profile export of every track and not just the new and changed tracks. This adds more than an hour to every scan on my server. slartibartfast's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35609 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97668 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Smart Mix plugin
First of all, thanks for releasing this plugin. I've been developing a
plugin for integrating EchoNest myself, but with a rather different
approach (focusing on catalog radio playlists, and using taste profiles
as seeds), so it will be interesting to compare the results.
A couple of points:
- On both of the exports I ran (one with 0.94, the other 0.96), I got
this error at the end:
Code:
[13-01-03 20:14:22.7114] Plugins::SmartMix::API::_call (216) Async API call:

], Slim::Networking::SimpleAsyncHTTP);
$a-[1] = $a-[0];
($a, 400 Bad Request);
}
Since my collection is 6 tracks, I'm not sure if this was finished
sucessfully - maybe the same issue reported by slartibartfast.
- When trying a mix on a song which is not known to EN, you simply get a
Failed to create playlist
Code:
[13-01-02 22:15:20.8802] Plugins::SmartMix::Plugin::_createMixCb (415) {
_smartmix_args = {
bucket = [id:XXX],
limit = true,
song_id = XXX:song:0f344abbee66930e8236dcb140b1c6ed,
type= song-radio,
},
response = {
status = {
code= 5,
message = The Identifier specified does not exist,
version = 4.2,
},
},
}
Maybe you could add a more specific message for the user - the
underlying issue is probably hard to fix.
- Other ideas
- Ratings seem to currently make very little difference with the
selection (I get loads of one or two star tracks). Using the
dynamic/feedback API call seems to have a bigger influence: My plugin
submits the rating when the song is played, which results in a rule for
the current session
Code:
'rule' = 'Prefer songs similar to: SOKJCNR12A8C13A111, SOENNGJ12A6D4FB8D7,
SODTHJI1315CD46B72, SOKHBHP12A6D4FB8F0, SOCZSJM1312A8A7824, SOHNVZE131343A36DF,
SOENNSH13600EB08CD, SODSUVU130516E1FC7, SOBJVDD12A8C13D983, SOECSEM130516E1A36,
SOQYKIU1311AFEC728, SOELTLN1313439E169, SOWBIYL12A6D4FB8D2'
(SOKJCNR12A8C13A111 etc. being song identifiers for highly-rated songs.
Haven't had time to look what the SmartMix session rules look like,
might be interesting)
This seems to gradually steer the playlist into the right direction
(additionally, you can configure my plugin to reject low rated songs).
Rating songs for the current session using dynamic/feedback is simple,
it does, however, result in additional API calls, which brings me to the
next point
- API call restrictions / call rate: This is rather annoying (although
it has gotten a lot better in the past months). One way to improve this
would be to let users optionally use their own API key (which is free to
get providing only minimal information to EchoNest), then the
restriction (i.e. 120 calls/min) is for each installation, not for all
of them. Additionally, it seems there is a limit of 1000 taste profiles/
non-commercial key, so the 1001st user of the plugin will be out of
luck...
- Steering the playlist using dynamic/feedback also lets you
ban/favorite songs/artists - quite a nice feature
- For my collection, the recognition rate is about 30%, even though it's
quite well tagged (it contains mainly non-mainstream music, though). One
thing I noticed when experimenting with my plugin was that the
recognition rate of songs really suffers from spelling differences for
artists (is it A Silver Mount Zion/A Silver Mt Zion/A Silver Mt.
Zion/Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra ? what about
PJ.Harvey/P.J.Harvey/P.J. Harvey?). In order to improve this, one could
add an option to rename artists before the information is sent to EN.

mherger wrote: 1) Is there a way to know which songs in your collection (I have around 8+ local songs) can be used / are recognized by EchoNest or not? No reasonable way to do this in an interactive way for this size collection: there's no way to tell the API to get me tracks without an EN id. You have to get the list of tracks in junks of 100 (the API doesn't allow for more results per call), and without killing the hit rate (120 queries per minute shared with _all_ users of this plugin)... The plugin actually does this task to get rid of removed tracks. But to protect users from the rate limit the process is seriously throttled (max. 6 requests/min per user) in a background task. In your case this would take several hours. I could use this lengthy process to report those tracks to the log file without too much overhead. Would this help your need? 2) Which online services are used? Is it just the 'standard' ones like MOG, Pandora, etc. - or can it look into other places exposed by plugins like Soundcloud or Band's Campout (aka Bandcamp?) No, only services supported by TEN can be used (MOG, Napster/Rhapsody, Deezer, Spotify at this time). As TEN is doing the mixing they need to know about tracks. And they only know tracks of their partners. I hope they'll add support for more in the future. -- Michael Thanks for the response! The question on missing tracks was mostly curiosity, but if it's straightforward to log them when found, that seems useful. One of the reasons I like MusicIP is that it finds odd weird tracks in the depths of my collection that probably aren't known by much of anyone, and would be interesting to know which things TEN might be missing. --erik talvola's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19983 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97668 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Would it be an option to upload unrecognized tracks and let their analyzer handle them ? http://developer.echonest.com/docs/v4/track.html#upload There is also a related third party service that might be of interest: http://echoprint.me/ And if you like to try to send adjusted tag values and see if it works better, an option might be to use https://acoustid.org/ to get better tag data based on a calculated fingerprint and then send that tag data instead of the tags in the file to TEN API. All this would of course only have to be handled for unrecognized tracks, which hopefully is a smaller sub section of the complete library. If you do it for the complete library I suspect it would hurt the scanning times too much so then you probably don't want to do it at every rescan.
