Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP cache not adding new tracks
Unfortunately I don't remember exactly where I read it (I -guess- it was in the MIP forums). Since I'm not using -genpuid- too often, I postponed any checking... I guess it was something like -genpuid- using an URI that is (or was) not functional anymore after MusicIP was sold. But maybe that was only temporary... -- Moonbase Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver' (http://www.kaufen-ist-toll.de/moonbase) Moonbase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63654 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP cache not adding new tracks
Some people tell me that genpuid doesn't work reliably anymore. In this case, you can connect to the headless and do it manually. For simplicity, let's assume your MIP server is called squeezecenter and you can reach it with a -ping- in your local network (but you can also use its IP instead of the name): - Go to the headless Web UI: -http://squeezecenter:10002/- - Next to the Add Music button, enter the base folder of your music, i.e. -/storage/music/squeeze- - Click on the Add Music button and wait for Adding tracks... to finish. (It will -not- add existing music twice.) - If you have deleted or moved songs, you can now click on Refresh Songs. This will remove obsolete entries from your MusicIP cache file. - If Songs to validate is greater zero, click on Start validation and wait for that process to finish. (This will store the validation data only in the cache, usually not in the files themselves, unfortunately.) - When all is finished, -write back the cache to disk- by issuing a -http://squeezecenter:10002/api/flush- You should get an empty page with just the number 1 at the top left. MIP headless has now written the cache file back to disc. - Finally, do a Look for new and changed music rescan in your SC and your changes should be incorporated into SC's music library and the new songs mixable. I'd still recommend trying to see if -genpuid- somehow starts working again from time to time, because it can include the analysis and fingerprint data within the actual music files, which is preferable since you don't have to re-validate all songs if ever the cache file gets lost/messed up. You could also use the MusicIP Mixer for that. -- Moonbase Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver' (http://www.kaufen-ist-toll.de/moonbase) Moonbase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63654 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Consolidating albums with tracks in multiple directories?
Hm, so it apparently has not enough data to be able to keep the disc together. As SC works now, there#8217;s still some last hope: - You could try using a disc number and total # of discs, even if a release only has 1 disc (for disc #1 of a 2-disc release, in MP3, use -TPOS-=1/2, in FLAC use -DISC-=1 and -DISCC-=2, or -DISCNUMBER-=1/2 - If tagging with -MusicBrainz Picard-, a tag -MUSICBRAINZ ALBUM ID- (for MP3) or -MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID- (for FLAC) will be added and used by SC internally to keep an album together.

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
/menudata

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] CustomScan: Needs optimization, seems to waste 54 minutes after SC rescan
Thanks for explaining. I actually agree that dropping recreating is sometimes a lot faster, and I didn#8217;t think about Custom Tags + Mixed Tags, that of course explains it. Hopefully at least the unneeded syncing step can be avoided. The long time it takes is mainly due to working on the disc: The -ibdata1- file in my Cache/MySQL is about 1.2GB, the MySQL temp file created while working about half of it (500-600MB). The OS disc in this system is only ATA/100 IDE, not SATA-II, and it appears that the OS*(WinXP+SP3) has not enough room for file system buffers to handle this efficiently with only 1GB RAM, since OS + SC + Plugins + MusicIP already eat up about 850MB of RAM when idle, about 130MB more when scanning. Apparently using Linux for this kind of application is much more efficient, for the same hardware setup I#8217;d expect a reduction in time of about 1/3 to 1/2, from past experiences. I hope my long-promised next Linux box will arrive soon, so I can make a direct comparison. Did anyone yet compare the differences between using reiserfs, ext3, ext2 file systems (for the drive that is used by the SC cache and MySQL)? -- Moonbase Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver' (http://www.kaufen-ist-toll.de/moonbase) Moonbase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61775 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] CustomScan: Needs optimization, seems to waste 54 minutes after SC rescan
Using SC 7.4-25680 and CustomScan 2.6, I observe what I think unneccessary activity by CustomScan that seems to waste 54 minutes after each SC rescan on my system here. Yesterday, I did a complete clear rescan in SC and could nail it down a bit. Heres what SC and CS do: COMPLETE CLEAR RESCAN ON 2009-03-24: - 15:05 SC clear rescan start - 18:57 SC rescan finished - 18:59 CS Syncing CS data start * - 19:18 CS Syncing finished * - 19:19 CS creating new database * - 19:53 CS creating new database AGAIN - 20:51 CS apparently finished but 100% CPU mySQL activity starts, blocks SC completely (incl. playback) - 21:09 CS really finished, SC responsive again The whole rescan process took 6:04 hrs, 3:54 hrs for SC + 2:10 hrs for CS. I think CS could save at least 54 minutes by omitting the steps marked *, thus reducing CS time to 1:16 hrs and overall time to 5:10 hrs! CS seems to unnecessarily do a resync after SCs rescan has finished, and -twice- creates a new database (at least thats what the log says). -SERVER.LOG- EXCERPT: -(attached, due to post size limits)- MYSQL \LONG QUERIES\ LOG EXCERPT: -(attached, due to post size limits)- This behaviour is also seen when only doing a scan for new/changed music.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] CustomBrowse: Artists, various kinds and counts -- clarification needed
SC lists the Artist count in my library as 4360. CustomBrowse shows these counts on my library (26,208 songs): - Artists: 4360 - Artist Sortnames: 3379 - Album Artists: 1312 - Album Artist Sortnames: 1579 - Track Artists: 653 I could explain the differences between -Artists- and -Artist Sortnames-, -Album Artists- and -Album Artist Sortnames- by not having tagged all sortnames (though I wonder why I have more -Album Artist Sortnames- than -Album Artists-. Still, it seems I don#8217;t fully understand the differences between -Artists-, -Track Artists-, and -Album Artists-. For example, I would have considered a Track Artist being essentially the same as an Artist because (s)he appears on tracks. The numbers above seem to indicate something else. - How exactly are the numbers calculated? - Why don#8217;t I have as many -Track Artists- as I have -Artists-? They are per track, aren#8217;t they? - What exactly is considered an -Artist-? - What exactly is considered an -Album Artist-?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] CustomBrowse: Better use of screen estate?
Erland, could I interest you in changing your otherwise excellent software a little to make for a better use of screen estate with CustomBrowse in the WebUI? I normally use a 1680x1050 22 flatscreen, the browser gets about half of it (both because I like to see a web page as kinda A4 or letter page, and because I have to work with other programs). I have quite long track comments (reviews, mostly) and I#8217;m favourably impressed how neat these (and other info) are displayed using the normal SC track details screen. CustomBrowse, when displaying track deta, seems to waste lots of space at the left (beneath the album image), has no scrollbar, so I cannot access half of the information, and it makes my track comments almost unreadable by not translating newlines (or CR/LF pairs) to paragraphs. (I#8217;m an old man and need paragraphs and uppercasing to follow text and thought flow :-) Also, could it be made that the album art is shown resampled to whatever is set in SC (150x150 usually) instead of being shown in the original size? It doesn#8217;t much affect me (I use 160x160 only anyway), but it might distract people who store large resolution pictures in their files (i.e. 1000x1000 or 500x500).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
Thanks for helping, erland I really appreciate it. Id be prepared to change some code, and of course feed it back to you, so all can benefit. - Would there be an existing mechanism in CustomTag.pm to map TXXX frames to »internal names« so I could maybe use something like -'TXXX:MusicBrainz Album Status' = 'RELEASESTATUS'-? - Can modules in the -Plugins-CustomScan-Plugin.par- simply be modified and repacked into a new .par? Any special settings for the ZIPper (I use 7-Zip)? - Does the code in MixedTag.pm already handle things like comma and blank? (To be used with things like »Artist, sorted«.) - Does the code in MixedTag.pm already handle multiple tags mapped to the same »friendly names«?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
Looking at the forums and the problems people have, I think CustomScan could benefit from an (optional) generalized »Tag Remapper Module«. This would allow (at least for CustomScan/CustomBrowse users) to handle complicated situations, like - mapping »ALBUM ARTIST« to »ALBUMARTIST« - mapping ID3v2 tags into tags used with FLAC files, i.e. ID3v2 »TXXX:MUSICBRAINZ ALBUM TYPE« to »RELEASETYPE«, or ID3v2.3 »XSOP« and ID3v2.4 »TSOP« (»PERFORMERSORTORDER«) to »ARTISTSORT« used in FLAC Having a means like this (low-level tag mapping) would also make database access faster (and easier), since many different tags would map to only ONE database value. I think the usability and screen/Jive/SB presentation would also benefit from this. After processing like you do now (mapping some tags, i.e. ID3v2 and MP4), this could be a simple, user-definable table that would initially be empty. It could have »Tag Type«, »from« and »to« columns and act as an additional »layer«, so -both- additional remapping of, say, ID3v2 or MP4 tags would be possible, -plus- simple text translations (as for ID3v2 TXXX or Vorbis Comment tags). Sample: Code: TAGTYPE FROMTO ID3v23 XSOPARTISTSORT ID3v24 TSOPARTISTSORT TEXT ALBUM ARTISTALBUMARTIST APEv2MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMSTATUS RELEASESTATUS WMA MusicBrainz/AlbumStatus RELEASESTATUS MP4 :com.apple.iTunes:MusicBrainz Album Status RELEASESTATUS MP4 ©grpGROUPING ... and so on. »TEXT« would be a »general« type to handle whatever user-definable text-type tags need to be translated into an internal name, i.e. ID3v2.3 TXXX tags, MP4 and WMA text tags, Vorbis Comments. I guess a thing like this could handle all the oddities in tag naming conventions once and for all. Plus, it would allow easy adaption if ever a new tag came up (or MusicBrainz change their tag names -again-!). -- Moonbase Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver' (http://www.kaufen-ist-toll.de/moonbase) Moonbase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49483 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
Ok, done. I found a way to change CustomTag.pm without breaking existing functionality, but with the extra option of user-definable tag mapping. Will run it through some extensive testing now (test cases plus 25,000 file library with mixed file types and varying tag quality) and let you know maybe tomorrow. Id very much like if you had a look over the changes and probably integrate it into the next version ;-) Its a kludge, but it doesnt break existing configurations, and it can handle and remap both SC-internal tag names and new (text-type) tags. In the Module Settings for Custom Tag, you could set »Tags to scan« like before, -or- using a new method for remapping into some existing or new, user-specified tags like this: Code: ARTIST,ARTISTSORT,ALBUMARTIST=ALBUMARTIST|ALBUM ARTIST,ALBUMARTISTSORT,LANGUAGE,ORIGYEAR,RELEASESTATUS=RELEASESTATUS|MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUM_STATUS,RELEASETYPE=RELEASETYPE|MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUM_TYPE In this example, - both »ALBUMARTIST« and »ALBUM ARTIST« (for foobar users) would be mapped into »ALBUMARTIST« - both »MusicBrainz Album Status« from MP3 files and »RELEASESTATUS« from FLAC files would be read into »RELEASESTATUS«. (-Note:- SCs -internal- name MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUM_STATUS used here, since the Format modules decode it already.) - both »MusicBrainz Album Type« from MP3 files and »RELEASETYPE« from FLAC files would be read into »RELEASETYPE«. (-Note:- SCs -internal- name MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUM_TYPE used here, since the Format modules decode it already.) - ARTIST, ARTISTSORT, ALBUMARTISTSORT, LANGUAGE, ORIGYEAR would be read as before (I read Artist and Artist Sortname separately so I can have both kinds of display on my SBC: »Damian Wilson« under »D« (using »Artists«), -or- »Wilson, Damian« under »W« (using »Artist Sortnames«). Ditto for ALBUMARTIST.) -- Moonbase Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver' (http://www.kaufen-ist-toll.de/moonbase) Moonbase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49483 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Yes, sure :-) As soon as all my test are through (might take a few hours still but I#8217;m very hopeful). A more flexible approach would of course be nice, but you know how it goes if one needs (ok, WANTS) something FAST :-) The »solution« above was just the »minimum changes, don#8217;t break anything« approach. Using RegExp#8217;s is actually a great idea. Thinking about DATE values in FLAC files (ISO Dates like 2009-02-16) vs. the 4-digit YEAR in ID3v2.3 and other uses. Coming back to the table idea a few posts back, an additional column could specify the RegExp to transform one value into the other. -- Moonbase Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver' (http://www.kaufen-ist-toll.de/moonbase) Moonbase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49483 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Erland, first, let me thank you for all the effort you put in your plugins. Much appreciated! I use MusicBrainz' Picard Tagging a lot and would like to use CustomScan/CustomBrowse with these fields: - ARTIST (ARTIST, TPE1) - ARTISTSORT (ARTISTSORT, TXXX:ARTISTSORT *or* TSOP *or* XSOP) - ALBUMARTIST (ALBUMARTIST, TPE2 *or* TXXX:ALBUMARTIST) - ALBUMARTISTSORT (ALBUMARTISTSORT, TXXX:ALBUMARTISTSORT) - LANGUAGE (LANGUAGE, TLAN) - ORIGYEAR (ORIGYEAR, TORY) - RELEASESTATUS (RELEASESTATUS, TXXX:MusicBrainz Album Status) - RELEASETYPE (RELEASETYPE, TXXX:MusicBrainz Album Type) -Internal name (FLAC tag name, ID3v2 tag name(s))- (XSOP is set by MusicBrainz Picard for ID3v2.3 since TSOP was introduced in ID3v2.4 only.) Here are my questions: - Is this (easily) possible? - What would I have to put into the CustomScan fields? - Can CustomScan/CustomBrowse handle tag frames that have blanks in them? - Would I have to change CustomScan/Modules/CustomTag.pm (for the ID3v2 mappings)? - Can CustomScan map tags n:1? (i.e., put ID3v2 XSOP, TSOP, TXXX:ARTISTSORT *or* Vorbis Comment ARTISTSORT into ONE internal database field? - If yes, how can I specify a preference? (i.e., if both TXXX:ARTISTSORT *and* XSOP are present, use TXXX:ARTISTSORT) - Would it be possible to make up something for CustomBrowse like »IF I have ORIGYEAR, use that, otherwise YEAR« (some of my files don#8217;t have ORIGYEAR but I still would like to browse by decades)? - Does it make sense to specify »ARTIST=ARTISTSORT,ALBUMARTIST=ALBUMARTISTSORT« for sorting, because these *should* be handled by SC already? I guess you see the picture #8230; I#8217;m trying to rebuild my existing system (that I use with other software like MusicIP Mixer) for SC, so the handling can be the same, even when listening for private pleasure :-) And of course I can#8217;t change the tags wildly, since these are used by other software (and for broadcasting).

[SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP and MP2: A no-go?
MP2 files (MPEG-1 Layer 2) are still widely used in professional broadcasting. I am glad that SqueezeCenter supports the MP2 format. Those files can also be used (tagged) with Mp3tag. Still it seems that MusicIP (at least the MusicIP Mixer v1.8.1b on Windows) will -not- accept MP2 files if they are named something*.mp2* (which they -should be-). At least the MPEG libraries used with MusicIP/Windows -do- support MPEG-1 Layer 2 files, so I think this has just been overlooked in the scanning modules (probably just looking for *.mp3). [Does anyone know if MP2s work on Linux headless?] This leads to - MP2 files not being seen in SC if an empty Music Folder is used (i.e., all song info comes from MusicIP), because they are simply not in the MIP library. - MP2 files not being mixable if a Music Folder is used in addition to MusicIP, because SC will see (and handle) the MP2 files but MusicIP wont know about them. I filed a 'report on MusicIP's forum' (http://forums.musicip.com/index.php?showtopic=4135hl=mp2) maybe you want to support it. A (temporary) workaround is to rename the *.mp2 files to *.mp3 which I wouldnt really advise, since one loses the overview, and other software might require the .mp2 extension. It would be better if MusicIP changed their scanning logic. [Maybe they have done already for 1.9 beta?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP - Doing bizarro things to genres
My crystal ball says you are using MP3s. Probably some software not handling 'numeric TCON frames' (http://id3.org/id3v2.3.0#TCON) correctly. You might want to use another tagging software like 'Mp3tag' (http://mp3tag.de/en/) and write textual genres instead (i.e., Hard Rock instead of (79)). -- Moonbase Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver' (http://www.kaufen-ist-toll.de/moonbase) Moonbase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59258 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
