[SlimDevices: Plugins] YouTube plugin won't play anything
It has been a while since I played any youtube stuff on a squeezebox, and I found youtube searches were no longer returning any hits. I tried to refresh the api access key and Oauth, etc, but eventually I resolved by creating a new google application. I can now search for things and get results, and I can see my subscriptions, etc. But nothing plays. It seems I'm getting a 403 Forbidden from google when I try to stream.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Material Skin
I like to use the material skin on my mobile device. However, launching a shortcut to the URL opens LMS with material skin in a new chrome tab. I often have have several tabs open in Chrome, so it makes it awkward when switching apps/web browser tabs, and I often find I've launched it a few times and have multiple tabs open. In the past I've used apps that can build a dedicated app wrapper around a web page, such that this can be launched as a separate app outside of Chrome, optionally with/without additional browser capabilities, such as menu strip/toolbar, search facility.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] ANNOUNCE: Simple Library Views plugin
>Anyone finding this plugin useful?
>
I'm just trying it out now. It kind of gives what I want, to be able to
customise a list of albums to include in libraries, but needing to manually
create folders where music is located and rescan is a bit of a pain. It also
won't work quite right for some people, or will require a lot of tinkering with
simple-library-views-libraryname in multiple folders (e.g. iTunes by default
splits compilation albums so music tracks are scattered in a folder per
artist), or only wanting to include some songs from an album (eg. a bunch of
songs that belong to "No Album").
I was planning to write a similar library view, but instead configure libraries
from LMS favourites. i.e. instead of creating files in folders and rescanning,
you would add an album as a favourite, and organise music in favourites into
sub-folders, something like:
Favorites >
Library Views >
{Name of library 1} >
favorite items within this folder would appear in
{library 1}
{Name of library 2} >
favorite items within this folder would appear in
{library 2}
The plugin would only look for music within Favorites > Library Views.
This has the benefit that everything can be done within LMS. Browse music, add
music to favorites, edit favorites to move items into a favorite library view.
It would support any type of favorite (relating to local music), eg. an artist,
album, genre, song.

Phil Title: PlaylistManager SqueezeCenter Plugin Playlist Manager Plugin If you find this plugin useful, and/or would like to see future enhancements, consider sending a donation. Purpose This plugin allows you to manage playlists through your Squeezebox player(s). It provides a convenient way to build up playlists from your squeezebox player, without destroying your current playlist. When browsing your music library, it provides a context menu for adding an album or song to a playlist, or the current playlist. From a song in the current playlist, it is possible to add that song to another playlist. It also provides convenient access to the Zap Playlist function, and a way to save the current playlist. All of this functionality is available from context menus, and sometimes through an IR Remote shortcut key. The functionality works for all types of players, including classic players (SB2/3, Boom, Transporter, SoftSqueeze), and Squeezeplay players (SB Controller, Radio, Touch). I developed this plugin privately and specifically for my needs, but other people also found a lack of official support within the Squeezebox Server (SBS) software for playlist management and requested that I published and maintained the plugin. I have since made it a bit more generic and useable, and will consider implementing enhancement requests. I was finding music in my library that was incorrectly tagged or didn’t play properly whilst playing random tracks. I needed a simple mechanism to record these whilst I was at a Squeezebox, such that when I returned to the PC, I could look through the list and correct the tracks. I also wanted a way to add tracks to my morning alarm playlist, without having to load the playlist (losing the current playlist) and then add tracks to it and save it. Usage Instructions The plugin allows an album or song to be selected from a Browse menu, or from the current playlist (aka. the “Now Playing” screen). Navigate to an album or song within any browse menu, or a song within the current playlist and either: a) Bring up the context menu and select “Add to…”. b) Press the pre-configured IR Remote shortcut button (by default Add, but can be configured through a custom IR map). The functions that are available (dependent on the context that the plugin is accessed from) are: Add To… This menu allows you to select a playlist to add the currently selected item (song or album) to a playlist, either: a) The Current Playlist. b) Any defined quick-access playlist names are directly listed in this menu. It is possible to configure these quick-access playlist names through the SBS web UI. c) “Other Playlists” - select from a list of all playlists that exist in the music library. d) Typing in a playlist name. The track/album will be added to the end of the chosen playlist. If the playlist doesn’t yet exist (or has been deleted), it is created. Zap track This allows you to access the original SqueezeCenter functionality that was bound to the IR Remote add.hold button action. Save Current Playlist This duplicates the functionality of the “Save Playlist” plugin (it was a copy of that code), which is an official SqueezeCenter plugin. You can disable/remove the Save Playlist plugin if you always access the feature through my plugin instead. Installation Instructions The plugin can be installed as an extension within Squeezebox Server by accessing Settings > Plugins. Alternatively, it can be manually installed by doing the following: Download the relevant version of the plugin. Extract the content to your SqueezeCenter plugins folder. Restart SqueezeCenter. Ensure the plugin is enabled in server settings -> plugin. Note: This playlist also makes the official SBS “Save Playlist” plugin redundant. I included this functionality within my plugin, as the Save Playlist plugin automatically associates itself with the “Play.hold” remote key. I wanted to free this key association up, as it is usually used for accessing mixers (such as MusicIP and other third-party plugins), and make it accessible as a menu action, to make it easy to access from any type of player. To disable/remove the Save Playlist plugin, go to the SBS Settings > Plugins and locate “Save Playlist”. Customising the Remote Functions By default, this plugin will replace the default “Add” IR Remote button, such that it will bring up a new “Add To…” menu. The existing “Add” key behaviour is moved to a long-hold of the Add key. The plug

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Custom Library problem
A while back someone reported that Custom Library plugin was not working with LMS 7.9. It seems to count songs in each custom library correctly when the libraries are refreshed, but upon selecting a library and browsing into it, it always reports empty. I noticed the same. I had a library defined to only show unrated tracks but it no longer works. So I wondered how I could create a library to filter on trackstat ratings. I thought advanced search results saved as a library were stored in preferences as sql queries, but I can't find them. I had a look at Custom Library plugin, but can't see where it is going wrong. I did find another potential problem with libraries filtering on path name, where spaces exist in the path, as it uses sprintf and "%20" appears in the url instead of a space, so it expects more parameters to satisfy the sprintf input string. Advanced search has a filter on rating, but I guess this is a different database field to trackstat ratings, as it doesn't find any tracks with ratings. ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New plugin for audio bookmarks
>Nice!

I have some podcasts that have episodes over 4 hours long. I haven't tried the plugin yet, but have some questions: 1. This bookmarks per-album, using the album id? Does it work if you use "Disks and folders" (to browse to a folder containing podcasts for example), as this doesn't create permanent entries in the database. In this case (particularly for playing podcast episodes) it would be nice if it could remember the last position of each track played, eg by storing the path+filename as the unique identifier. 2. Does it automatically start replay from the bookmarked point when playing anything that has a bookmark on the album, or only if selecting from the bookmarks list? ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Soundcloud plugin for squeezeserver
I think I have the latest version of the plugin (its reporting 0.8.4, from Daniel Vijge's repository). I have found that sometimes when I do a search (web UI), if I click on the image or the song title, it will bring up the details for a different item. e.g. I did a search for "Rosaleen", which returns quite a few hits. I scrolled down to find a friends song (Rosaleen Donnan, "Fall Asleep On Me"), and added it to the current playlist. I then clicked the song title, and it brought up something else which I assume was from the returned search hits (arabic title, couldn't read it!).

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Database Query plugin problems in 7.9
I have had a query defined in Database Query plugin to return a list of albums
that are missing replaygain information.
I noticed today that when I run this query in the web UI, I get a load of
javascript output at the top and bottom of the results list.
My query is simple:
SELECT DISTINCT path(t.url)
FROM tracks AS t
WHERE t.content_type NOT IN ('dir', 'ssp') AND t.url like 'file:///%.%' and
t.url not like 'file:///M:/Music/Surround%' and t.url not like '%.mov'
AND t.replay_gain is null
This used to work fine.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Playlist Manager version 6.0 released
>It's a while since I owned a Controller, but if you press the "+" button >do you get a pop-up menu with "Remove from playlist"? My PlaylistMan plugin doesn't offer any additional control to edit the content of a playlist once it is created. Deleting tracks from a playlist should be possible through the SBC/LMS built-in capabilities, but does depend on the version of the server application and the type of user interface. With LMS 7.8... The web application allows you to browse into a playlist and delete songs from the playlist. You can also delete a song from the current playlist and then save the playlist. I don't own a Controller, but on a Touch interface I think you have to play the playlist, and only from the Current Playlist screen can you long-press a track to get the option to remove it, and then you can save the playlist.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat in LMS 7.8.0
I thought it was about time I tried LMS again, and grim & bear the deficiencies introduced since 7.5.6. I've exported my TrackStat content, and decided not to bother with History info. Database Query > TrackStat Statistics is showing the stats that I expect. Custom Browse > Library Statistics > Rating Statistics however shows Rated Songs: 0 Unrated Songs: 43923 Rated Songs (TrackStat): 6448 Unrated Songs (TrackStat): 37475 Whereas in SBS 7.5.6, I had rated songs reported in both sections. Is this anything to be concerned with? Most annoyingly, I'm missing the context action buttons in web UI. e.g. for a song in current playlist, I no longer see trackstat icon to go straight into rate the song. Instead there's a single "M" for More, which does the same as clicking the song title (shows LMS song details). Might as well not have the "M" context action, if it does the same as clicking track name. I guess this is down to the "benefits" of having a generic interface in LMS, and there's nothing that can be done to get nice shortcuts back again? Also, Database Query > Squeezebox Server Statistics seems to hang the server. Each time I try LMS, I get slightly annoyed about some previous function being lost/different, whether in the server itself, or a forced change in a plugin, and end up reverting back to 7.5.6. Seems the last SBS release is the best, most stable functionality driven release to stick with.

Sometimes I find it will switch alternate tracks between two artist's albums. It's really down to the mix settings and MusicIP. Try tweaking the settings, eg. increase the Variety to make selection a bit more random, or try using one of the MusicIP Recipes. However, I use Erlands CustomSkip. If I find a mix has ended up selecting very similar music (eg. all tracks by a single artist, or on a single album), I set up a temporary skip filter (eg. skip this artist for 1 hour).

If you are doing a manual install, the download zip is called "PlaylistMan 6.0.zip", and inside this is a sub-folder "PlaylistMan". So, if you unzip the downloaded zip file CONTENT, it should only create "/PlaylistMan". The instructions tried to make this clear, that only the content of the zip should be extracted; don't create a sub-folder for the content to be put in.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Sugarcube not honoring minimum ratings
>Are you sure the random is only used as last resort Very sure that's what's meant to happen, but I could check my plugin source to confirm. Even if you select Dynamic Mix without an initial seed, it will try to use MusicIP first to get a list of songs returned without a seed. It will default to choosing a random song from your local SBS library DB if: 1) it doesn't get a mix returned from MusicIP 2) can't find an unplayed song from a returned mix 3) a mix was returned, and a track is selected from the returned mix but it can't be found in your SBS library (because you've scanned new songs into MusicIP, and not rescanned the SBS library yet). If this happens, it's extremely unlikely that the same random song would be picked to play several times in a row! >Because when the "repeating seed song" happened, I >could see in the logs that a huge list of songs had been returned, and >it's unlikely they had all been played before > Seems to me like it hadn't remembered that the first returned result had been played, so it kept choosing the same (initial seed) track over and over again. That could happen if the "remember n tracks" was set to 0 (or the settings hadn't been read - maybe something goes wrong on the very initial first run after install). You could look in the prefs file (SBS Cache location: /prefs/DynamicMix.prefs); you should see the last n unique tracks played by DynamicMix listed for each client, where "track1" is the most recently chosen (the next one that will be played), "track2" is the currently playing track, "track3" is the previously played track, etc. Phil ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

See >http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=669718#post669718 Ah, thanks. Yes, indeed that is a bug. This should only happen when determining the next song to play if there are no MIP songs returned to select from (exhausted all matches returned that haven't already been played). Likelihood of this can depend on chosen mix settings (Recipe, Filter, limit to genre, artist style, etc). It was mainly a catch-all to try to ensure that something is played even if MIP has died (happens for me occasionally, and I use Dynamic Mix as my Alarm Clock music source).

Try setting the "Mix Variety" greater than 0 (0 will always return the same song mix for the given seed each time), and leave "MIP Recipe" blank. Anyway, it shouldn't matter if the seed song is returned back in the MIP mix, as it should ignore recently played tracks. So, ensure the Dynamic Mix player pref "Remember This Many Played Tracks" is greater than 0. This is also why I fetch more than 1 next track from MIP; the plugin scans through eliminating songs that were recently played, so it will pick the next track that hasn't already recently been chosen. If the seed track is always included as the first song returned in a MIP mix, this should be skipped when deciding which song from the mix to play next, as that song will have been played already. ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Then, to use my plugin: 4) Optionally configure DynamicMix plugin settings for each player. 5) Optionally configure Dynamic Playlist, to enable the Dynamic Mix playlists as favourites (can then start mixes easier from context menus). If you want to use "Dynamic Mix Mood" mixes, you need to define the moods within MusicIP GUI, save the library and may also need to copy a music IP file from one location to another, depending on how MusicIP was installed, etc. Can't remember the details at the moment; will check later if you want to try this.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Is there an alternative to Spicefly Sugarcube?
>I agree you should contact cparker about getting your credentials so you >can get the latest version, but there is an alternative. See message #5 >in this thread to learn about Dynamic Mix from Philip Meyer: >http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92248&highlight=Dynamic+Mix Yes, my plugin is a possible alternative. Dynamic Mix started from parts of an older version of Sugar Cube. I only used the Dynamic Playlist support in SugarCube, and wanted to extend and at the same time simplify that to fix some bugs that I had discovered. Potentially, you may suffer similar symptoms. It could be down to MusicIP and/or settings that you have configured for choosing related songs. i.e. it could be that your variety setting is too low, that you have a filter that is causing it to ignore other albums, etc. Beware also that it depends on Dynamic Playlist plugin (developed by Erland), which you may need to play a small fee for (not sure - Dynamic Playlist might still be a free plugin, as on its own it doesn't provide much functionality). ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Playlist Manager version 6.0 released
>I guess the main problem is >that I don't get "Add to.." in the context menu for Rhapsody tracks. Oh. Then it might be harder :-( I don't know if it is possible to register custom menu stuff in the rhapsody menu. I notice that with CustomBrowse's "Override standard track details" enabled, it isn't possible to get into the "standard song info" for a rhapsody track, so I guess no other plugin has managed to integrate with custom protocol handlers. I think the problem is integrating with the context menu actions, and if you could get to the Add To actions, they would work. I had a play using SoftSqueeze, and it appears possible to add a Rhapsody track from the current playlist to another playlist using the IR Remote, but it didn't pick up the track title for the playlist entry (entries appear blank). ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] CustomBrowse Artists Template problem
I created a custom browse menu based on the Artists template. I needed to
customise the template. When I tweaked a bit of the SQL, I found that the menu
didn't work. The problem was that the were a couple of tokens in the generated
content that it didn't understand, to do with various artists auto
identification. eg. {property.variousArtistAutoIdentification}
I just deleted the where predicate to make the menu work for me.
I'm using latest Custom Browse plugin for SBS 7.5.6.

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. 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. > I didn't like that mode of operation much; I was specifically concentrating on DynamicPlaylist integration, rather than copy SugarCube. 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.

Does anyone else have this problem? I don't use Sugarcube much anymore. Instead, I use something similar that I've developed (extended initially from some older Sugarcube source code). I created a plugin called DynamicMix, which provides some additional modes for Erlands DynamicPlaylist plugin, using MusicIP to select new tracks to add. I released an initial version of DynamicMix, but I've got a better version here that I've been using for a while that I haven't published. If you're interested in giving it a go, I'll release it into my repository. I effectively have a MusicIP filter to select tracks that are rated 4* or higher, or not rated. DynamicMix provides different modes, which effectively are ways to choose the starting seed, either from chosen song, artist, album, genre, MusicIP Mood, or it can use the currently playing track or a random song from the currently selected MusicIP filter, or totally random song as an initial seed as a complete fail-over backup (eg. if MusicIP is not responding). This made it very resilient to be used as an alarm clock - it never fails to play something for me in the morning to wake me up, even if MusicIP is dead (it sometimes doesn't seem to work for a period of time after waking from standby, but eventually kicks in when it does start responding to requests).

In the SB2/3 days, it was common for Play IR button to work the same as Right-arrow to drill into a menu. This can be seen in many menus, eg. in SoftSqueeze, you can use play to go into Settings, and from there Play can be used to go into Information. However, in 7.7, it does seem more inconsistent now. eg. in Settings > Information, if I press Play on Server Settings, it goes to the Now Playing screen. So I agree. In my plugin, I'll make Play do nothing on menu items, as right-arrow should be used. What about the Add action? Does that matter to SqueezePad?

You are right; there is a bug in the plugin at the moment on Squeezeplay interfaces. The presence of a "Song File Viewer" menu item within song information (context menu for a song) indicates that text files were detected within the folder that contains the chosen song, but it isn't listing the text file(s) in the following screen. This works in the classic player interface. It only supports .txt files, as it was initially written for classic player interface.

Is this licensing also applicable for SBS 7.5, or is it 7.6 onwards? At the moment I'm still using 7.5, as I don't consider 7.6 fit for purpose yet. Will current/future plugin updates work for 7.5 or do the newer versions only support 7.6+. I hope this works for you, because your plugins and support time are becoming even more crucial with each new release of SBS/LMS that offers less funtionality.

This doesn't affect the song in the current playlist. To remove the chosen song from the current playlist, press and hold the "+" button. Playlist Manager provides access to the "Zap" function, which should remove the song from the current playlist, and add it to the Zapped playlist. On a Touch player, the context menu for a song in the current playlist (by long-touch on the song name), provides various actions, including "Add to ..." (provided by Playlist Manager) and "Remove from playlist". I think in 7.6 for classic players, you are also meant to get a similar context sensitive menu if you press and hold the play button. The context menu via play.hold works when browsing the library, but not in the current playlist :-( To be honest, I find the use of play.hold to display a context menu baffling, and it's just asking for trouble. People have for a long time complained about losing their playlists when they accidentally press play, and now there are actions on play.hold that only sometimes works, so there will be even more occurances. ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
