Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Music Artist Information plugin
OK, I'm a little confused as to if how local artist / composer files are supported. There's little special treatment for them. The local artwork would give you access to any artwork file stored inside the album's folder. The same applies for a bio.html in the local text files menu. There is a bit of special treatment for the bio.html: the plugin would actually walk up a few folder levels for searching for anything bio*, assuming that most users have an Artist/Album folder structure. ..and I've got an artist/composer picture at: /mnt/Media/Music/a_Medieval/Du Fay, G/composer.jpg ..and I've got an artist/composer bio file at: /mnt/Media/Music/a_Medieval/Du Fay, G/bio.html How would I configure the plugin? Artist pictures are either stored as artist.jpg/png in an album folder, or as artist name.jpg/png in the configurable one for all artists images folder. I could probably add a similar treatment for artist pictures as I did for the bio.html. ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Music Artist Information plugin
I'm running on QNAP nas and the maintainer of the packages of LMS was a QNAP community member and seems to lost interest in this a long time ago, so that isn't an easy road to go. To get rid of the nagging upgrade message I now want to uninstall, but can't do it without upgrading first So where does LMS stores the installed plugins and keep track of what's installed, I have searched high and low on my nas but can't find it? 1 x Touch 1 x Radio Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.0 - 141485 @ Sat Sep 20 04:21:59 UTC 2014 running on QNAP 219P Squeeze Commander Squeeze Player Phone: HTC Desire HD T-bird's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38434 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99537 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Hi Triode; all; can I highlight another thread from me to you? I have this odd problem that after a re-setup of LMS on my Joggler (open peak device) your plugin won't install anymore (and only your plugin) Once I select your plugin to be installed and stop / start LMS, your plugin is listed as 'an update is available' (but only there and not in the installed plugin list). If I mark it to be updated and I restart LMS again (or the entire server), it still is not installed and still shows up as 'to be updated'. This happens with LMS 7.8 and 7.9 1st I though it has something to do with using backup prefs but even w/o touching the prefs the same bahavior shows up. The only difference to my old system is the Ubuntu version underneath: now Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (Trusty) with Kernel 3.14 For details see: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?102132-Need-an-idiots-guide-to-setup-new-LMS-with-settigns-from-old-system (User Forums - Logitech Media Server - Need an idiots guide to setup new LMS with settigns from old system) Do you have any ideas?

The same applies for a bio.html in the local text files menu.OK, Wirrunna has provided me with a work-around, and thanks for that. Just the same, I'd rather not have to salt my library tree with an additional 877 silent mp3s. Michael: Please understand that with libraries composed of flacs-with-embedded-cuesheets, there is no album folder per-se. An album is a single file and it's usually stored in the artist folder, i.e. the album file resides in the same folder as the bio.html file. E.g., for the flac file I cited in my previous post, the url field in the track table record in library.db for the 1st track is: Code: file:///mnt/Media/Music/a_Medieval/Du%20Fay,%20G/O%20gemma,%20lux%20-%20Huelgas%20Ensemble.flac#3597.933-4121.88 I haven't looked at the code in your plugin so I don't know how you're breaking out the containing folder for the album. But as you can see, with audio files with embedded cuesheets, you can't assume that the url record represents a real file path. You'd need to strip off the #3597.933-4121.88 (which represents what? Duration in frames?) to get a path name that can then be splitpath-ed. mherger wrote: Artist pictures are either stored as artist.jpg/png in an album folder, or as artist name.jpg/png in the configurable one for all artists images folder. I could probably add a similar treatment for artist pictures as I did for the bio.html. That's easy enough.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Soundcloud plugin for squeezeserver
Just a quick update regarding this issue, so people won't have to
stubble too much regarding things that won't be possible to easily
solve.
There are two different problems:
- Access to API over https
- Streaming over https
Access to SoundCloud API over https is related to the 'Enabled peer
verification' change discussed previously in the thread and works out of
the box on some setups while some setups requires https peer
verification to be disabled.
The situation regarding streaming is that SoundCloud are currently
hosting their streams on two different servers:
- Some streams are hosted on a server that supports both http and https
- Some streams are hosted on a server that only supports https
It is possible to get it to work for the streams that are hosted on the
server that supports both http and https, but unfortunately, as I've
understood it, SoundCloud is in a migration phase where they are going
to eventually migrate everything to the server which only supports
https. The analysis done so far of the LMS/Squeezebox source code is
that LMS does not support https for streaming, neither using direct
streaming nor streaming through LMS.
We are currently looking into possible alternative solutions for
ickStream since SoundCloud is one of the services we have integrated in
our beta setup.
