[SlimDevices: Plugins] Home Assistant - LMS - Material Skin

2022-12-09 Thread cparker


Hi all,

Has anybody managed to get LMS working well within Home Assistant?  I've
been trying the Webpage Card Configuration and it can display the
Material Skin but Artists/Albums/Genres pages are all blank but the New
Music page works!!?!

Are there better ways of integrating LMS?

If you are creating filters using the Windows MIP version 1.96b then you
can't copy that m3lib file to Linux and preserve the filters as far as I
know, as the Windows version 1.96 had a difference cache structure to
the Linux release.  

If you use the Windows MIP 1.8.1b version I understand it works ok, then
just copying the m3lib file to Linux, you need to restart the service to
re-read the file or refresh the cache by going to the host:10002 in a
web browser and clicking the refresh cache button.  The filters should
then be exposed and visible in the LMS/SC Player page. 

You've probably already seen it but page here about filters, what kind
of filters are you creating that are tied to paths?  I've used them to
group a number of genres together but these are then linked via the mp3
tags so not tied to a physical path.

https://www.spicefly.com/article.php?page=musicip-filters

Moods I have no idea unfortunately, I don't have much in the way of
saved documentation and I never found any good detailed explanations of
how they should work anywhere.

If you need to step down from MIP 1.96b to 1.81b ensure you have a
backup of the m3lib file (in case you need to go back again) and ensure
you have also saved the tags into the music files (archive analysis
setting in MIP) and check they are using mp3tag.  MIP will need to
rescan and read the fingerprints to build the m3lib file and if they are
not saved in the music file it will have to rescan and re-fingerprint
your collection from scratch which would suck

Auto-mix will use the settings you specify under the Player Settings
menu, its not related to the playing track.  Its a preconfigured fast
play something and go method.

35391

If you want to use the current playing track as a seed, enable "Dynamic
Queuing" under Player Settings menu and it will automatically queue the
next track for you but only if you are at the end of the playlist, using
the last track in the playlist as the seed, otherwise it will stay
quiet.

The ratings used are TrackStat ratings as used across LMS, nothing to do
with MusicIP ratings.  You need to have installed TrackStat for this to
work, they basically sort the results and then pick the track so its a
bias tweak.

Not sure if that covers all your queries, feel free to reply here, DM or
Email me.  SC has obviously had organic growth over the years so I guess
has assumed knowledge, I try to lay it out clearly and e.g. ratings are
under the section marked TrackStat.  But if you are new to LMS/MusicIP
it can be confusing, so happy to help and add further information to my
website, if any knowledge gaps just let me know.

btw the latest thread is here for v5, but people like the v2.03 thread
for some reason, keyword search magic I guess :)

2021-07-02 Thread cparker


Just to add to what 33squeezebox_Fan mentioned, reading the patents a
while back MIP fingerprints by taking the source file and converting it
to a wav file before it does it's analysis.  Therefore if you have
issues they are likely in that conversion step, maybe timeouts, beyond
the capabilities of the decompressor etc, so you could try using
something like https://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm to batch convert to
wav, then fingerprint and then copy the fingerprint back into the source
file.

Hi Bob,

Yes and No, the current version doesn't track the bleeding edge release.
Although I run it locally and use it pretty much every day, I leave it
a few months of no reported issues before moving the latest.xml
forward.

You can copy any link on the Version page and paste it into LMS plugin
repositories to grab whichever version you want, or if manually update;
the XML file shows the zip file location which you can download, extract
and replace all the files. 

That said, I didn't realise that the install.xml was still on 5.22 so
I'll move that forward, thanks for the prompt!

Cheers

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP not recognizing stored analysis when buliding library

2021-05-13 Thread cparker


I would take a copy of 100 files, wipe the MIP tags and scan them under
1.8, then compare the tags against the 1.96b and check the differences. 
It might just be the tag name (similar to how it is different for FLAC
vs mp3) however if the actual fingerprint is different then I'm not sure
what you can do other than rescan them using the Windows 1.8 version.

Would be interesting to know the results of the check

Take a look at filters, its a very powerful feature you can virtually
slice your library, stack genres together and/or artists or various
combinations.  Then just select the filter in SugarCube to use.

There are two ways, one via the web interface and second via the Player

Hi Magnus,

This is resolved, was due to selecting a track but then pressing Automix
which builds a new mix from the pre-selected filter/genre specified in
the Player's Automix settings.

Hey, 

Couple of questions;
1) On user side, how does the rating system manage, if you have
previously used TrackStat 1-10 star ratings on your music library?

2) On dev side, for my plugins I read the TS setting and determine
whether 1 to 5 or 1 to 10 ratings are being used.  (Code below)  As I
have mix settings to drop tracks that have been rated 2x stars or below
for example, so they don't get played, so just wondering how to manage
Ratings Light?


Code:


## trackstat.plugin.pm line 1940
my $ts_prefs   = preferences('plugin.TrackStat');
#rating_10scale == 0 if 1to5
#rating_10scale == 1 if 1to10
  
my $rating_scale = $ts_prefs->get('rating_10scale');
  



3) Finally is Ratings Light a direct replacement for TrackStat?

Thanks for your work :)

Two reasons I can think of.. 

1) You have SugarCube selected as the provider in Don't Stop the Music
plugin
2) The player is in a sync group but isn't the master player, so the
changes you are making won't apply.  In this case there is a warning
displayed in the standard LMS web interface with a message which advises
the master player, e.g;   Warning Kitchen is a slave in sync group,
make changes at Bathroom

Yes correct I've found tags that contain for example a web site address
so e.g a comment tag with http:// will break MusicIP, so keep to
alpha/numerics

@macpac In terms of the issue here, I'm sure I heard that Windows MIP
1.96b m3lib format isnt 100% compatible with Linux MIP 1.8?  So I would
consider testing an installation of Windows MIP 1.8 (you can download
from my site) and doing a rescan, it should suck in the pre-existing
tags from the files into the m3lib file and then trying that m3lib file
with Linux.

It doesn't use MusicIP.  It's pseudo random selecting from the LMS
database based on year metadata.  It respects the settings to block
Genres and Artists and remembers recently played tracks, so the same
tracks are not played, plus it uses TrackStat settings.

The settings are between the  lines

29717

Note this functionality was added back in 2013 so other plugins may give
better results in this space now that weren't around back then

The connection settings are under the Advanced Tab -> Spicefly SugarCube
and not under the player menu as they are not player specific.

You may need to use Dynamic Path Conversion if LMS and MIP headless are
running on separate machines, further details here;

The Material skin seems to be hard coded from what I saw quickly in the
code.  It doesn't seem to respect the standard
Slim::Web::Pages->addPageLinks functions then all plugins that have line
items announce.  If so it would appear but then I don't know the impact
of that which might be like an explosion in a paint factory.

For the DSTM, what additional functionality would that add?  SCube has
had Dynamic Queuing since 2010 which will only queue a track if there is
no next track in the playlist and release 5.01 will now ignore Spotify
and all the previous streaming services I think were already covered.

In terms of multi-genre I have no idea tbh.  I have one genre per album
(idv2.3 tags) which works well enough for my 30k library.  I never
listen to music other than via SCube/MusicIP apart from the occasional
full album, so I don't really know how well it works or the caveats

MusicIP doesn't handle multiple genres, the best I have is a workaround
that makes the last genre the dominate genre.

SugarCube doesn't use the MusicIP plugin you don't need it installed. 
It queries the MusicIP Web API directly so you don't need that scan.

I've just rolled v5.00 beta which has a new interface layout which

I recommend selecting -> Dynamic Queuing
NOT selecting -> MusicIP Vintage Mode

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Spicefly Fingerprint Metadata Extractor (MusicIP can it be reborn?)

2017-09-09 Thread cparker

Hi All,

Announcing a little experiment, to see whether it's possible to
resurrect MusicIP.. if your tracks are already MusicIP fingerprinted
please read further and hoping you will help out :)


The Issue
MusicIP is a great piece of software but if you haven't scanned your
music files its a long process to start from scratch.


The Theory
Is it possible to use other fingerprinting software to cross reference
and build a new MusicIP metadata library from tracks already
fingerprinted by MusicIP.  If it's possible to build up 100k of the most
common tracks then that would go a big way to solving the issue and the
user then might only have to scan a few hundred tracks.


What is Spicefly Fingerprint Metadata Extractor?
SFME is a proof of concept software. Using AcoustID's Chromaprint open
source audio identification fingerprinting software and then by running
this against tracks that already have MusicIP fingerprints it copies the
metadata and uploads it to the source server. The plan is to use crowd
sourcing to build a much larger data model and study the metadata and
see if there is any cross reference.


How you can Help
SFME is something I've been wanting to try out for a long time, so I
learnt Visual C# over the last 12 months and bring you Version 0.1. If
your tracks already contain MusicIP fingerprints, please download and
run SFME on your tracks to aid the research effort.

Hi

Just to cover this off, there is a repository link here for a version of
SugarCube that works when using the --nosqueezebox switch;

http://www.spicefly.com/media/scube4x/beta485.xml

Add your email address used for licensing into the EMail address box on
the SugarCube Plugin settings page, then go into License Manager and
press the Refresh license status button and the licences should be
pulled down.

I'll update my site when I get a moment with screenshots etc

If you get a chance would be helpful if you could test this on your

to enable fine tuning of the timeout value, similar to the SQL

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezer: open source Android Squeezeserver remote control

2017-01-07 Thread cparker

I spent a while fiddling with this, assuming you have downloaded the
source file and installed Android Studio, I made the following changes;

Open the Gradle Scripts -> build.gradle Module: Squeezer
Change around lines 39 to
// EventBus, https://github.com/greenrobot/EventBus.
//compile project(':libs:eventbus:EventBus')
compile 'de.greenrobot:eventbus:2.4.1'

Then go to the Libs folder and delete the eventbus folder with its
sub-folders.. so you should just have the datetimepicker folder and a
libs.iml file in the libs folder.

Then hit Run... with your phone attached via USB.. select it as the
target

It then builds and installs the APK file and runs fine

Looks a nice app :)

Android Studio can be a PITA to install, so if you are having specific
environment problems with Android Studio just google the errors messages
and work through it, is the best advice I can give.

I can't answer all your questions as I don't know the intricacies of
git.  
To install the APK you just turn on developer options on your phone,
then connect it to your laptop via USB.  Then when you build the app in
Android studio, instead of using the software emulator, you select your
phone as the target.  It will then load the file on to your phone and
you are done.

Hi,

If it's open source, can you install Android Studio and download the
source and then build it.  Then take the resulting APK file, copy it to
your phone and then install it?
If you want to publish it on Google Play you will need to pay about £15

The server settings -> Advanced -> Spicefly Settings are global settings
so will impact all players
Under Player -> Spicefly Settings.. these can be changed for each
player.  So for example for the bedroom player, you could setup a filter
and have it locked to more chilled genres and the kitchen player more
towards classical genres.

You can find more details on the settings here;

Hi,

I found this was a limitation of MusicIP it will only generate playlists
up to 75 tracks.  Options to name the playlist and increase the copy

SugarCube is a plugin running inside LMS, so it doesn't have any exposed
API.  If you can automate LMS and pick a track, then just use SugarCube
Dynamic Queuing.

Moods aren't supported in SugarCube, have you tried using filters;
http://spicefly.com/article.php?page=musicip-filters

You can then mix by filter and fire that from an alarm or auto start
mix.

Headless doesn't create its own file, it should be pointing at the same

Hi, 

The Music Tab is Dynamic Path conversion it just doesn't say it is, so
anything in the Music Location Server Name field is replaced by the
Music Location IP Address.

Let me have a look at the wording on the tab, potentially I can part
fill some of these fields if the MusicIP fields are correct as I can get
it from the response from MIP.

Thanks for your help

Hi

So you have Local Setup and the error is showing; Failed to connect:
d/92.242.140.21

For your setup you want something like this;

(MUSIC TAB)
Music Location Server name
d:

Music Location 
92.242.140.21

(You might need to add your username/password as applicable)

(MUSICIP TAB)
92.242.140.21

Then you must be able to reach the music files from the network, so from
a file explorer if you type;
d:/netbook backups/music/TimeLife/70s/1972/
Then it should show the Black and White.mp3 file for example

Similarly you must be able to also type this and reach the same place;
\\92.242.140.21\netbook backups\music\TimeLife\70s\1972\

Hope that helps, some examples as attached

Hi,

Ok I've submitted Version 1.2 to the PlayStore, it should be available
soon.  This adds logging of the file copy process and is saved in the
root of the phone, note that it also saves the username/pwd.

Annoyingly everything seems to work fine on my phone and I don't have a
spare clean phone to test on, emulators seem a bit hit/miss.

Anyway let me know how you get on, thanks :)

The music is copied to the phone memory and not the SD Card.  It will
copy to Music/spicefly

Is there anything special with the Samsung Galaxy S6 that you know about
in terms of file storage?  Does it show the copy as taking a while it
should take time to copy a file over wifi, or does it skip through
really quickly?

Local is now implemented under version 3 which I uploaded to the store a

Thanks yep a good summary.  
The app will look at the mix returned by MIP and then uses a
search/replace method to replace the start of the filename with the IP
address so it can connect and download the music.  So if you have share
permissions setup on that location, you need the username/password
configured.

If you are having trouble connecting to your MIP server from the phone,
open a browser on the phone and check that it can access MIP this will
help determine if it's a firewall issue or not, ie firewall and port
number.  The default port number is 10002, so if MIP server has IP
192.168.0.5 then put in the browser http://192.168.0.5:10002/

Absolutely you are correct that it doesn't have the full functionality
of my full LMS SugarCube plugin :)  However the point of the approach is
to use MusicIP to basically create mixes that can be taken offline.  So
for me you can play them in the car/office etc when you don't have
network access to your MusicIP server.

No Share names are required, the app looks at the response from MIP and
then just amends the name with its IP so it can copy the files across
the network, see further information that I've added above.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Spicefly SugarCube for Android

2016-05-22 Thread cparker

Hey all,

Spicefly SugarCube has been available for LMS for a few years now.  I've
recently been looking at how I can take it further and specifically how
to use MusicIP on my phone, so obviously installing MusicIP on Android
isn't possible.  So instead I learnt Java and wrote an Android app to
link to the MusicIP Server. 

How it Works
Once configured
Select Genre, Artist, Filter or Feeling Luck Mix
Spicefly SugarCube then connects to your local MusicIP server on your
LAN.
Gets the Mix result
Copies the music files to your phone
Creates the playlist to play the music files in the right order

The App is currently an alpha testing release only.  If you are
interested please send me a private message with your email address that
is linked to the Play Store and I will add you to the testers list.

Note you must have a MusicIP Server setup on your network, otherwise it
won't work! :)  

If you have no idea what MusicIP is and not actively using it, then this
app isn't for you yet, see www.spicefly.com for more information and get
scanning.

Cheers

So in answer to your question, you contacted me directly which is cool
and I think its sorted now via an uninstall/reinstall of the plugin
which is excellent.

Yes I check the forums here sometimes but not that frequently, however I
continue to use SugarCube everyday :) incidentally I've also written
some new programs/apps that plug into the MusicIP functionality, just
not finished them beyond dev alpha quality So yes I still dabble :)

Bit of an odd issue I noticed today.  I recently upgraded to LMS: 7.9.0
- 1440747495 @ Sat Aug 29 04:05:24 CUT 2015 at the weekend.

I kicked off a SugarCube/MusicIP mix on my Radio;

Radio
Player Model: Squeezebox Radio
Player Type: baby
Firmware: 7.7.3-r16676
Wireless Signal Strength: 93%

and noticed that no tracks were queuing up as  I was getting strange
results from the following function;

my $song = Slim::Player::Playlist::url($client);
$log->debug("URL Reported;$song\n");

It was returning tracks like this (NOTE the tmp);
URL Reported;tmp:FATCAT/music/music/Massive%20Attack/Heligoland/etc

Yet moments ago when I was listening on my duet I was getting the
normal;
URL Reported;file:FATCAT/music/music/Thievery%20Corporation/etc.

The switch of tmp instead of file, broke my code. :(

I've not seen the tmp before, yet each track I selected from the Radio
returned the same tmp prefix.  (All tracks are on a NAS system.)

I can add a code fix into my code but wondered where the tmp came from,
is there a change I need to cover off?  Strangely enough, without any
code changes I just selected a track from the LMS Web GUI and everything
worked fine again.

Any thoughts

Cheers

Ah ok, thank you.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Using LMS with network connected amplifiers without SB devices

2014-06-19 Thread cparker

And then I thought, what if my Touch fails?

It looks like a nice project you've got yourself :)  

I think I would make life simple and get something like this; 
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lilliput-UM1010T-Monitor-USB-powered-Screen/dp/B003DPOMAS/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt

Connect it to a Intel NUC (silent mini pc) which has dual HDMI outputs,
plug one into the amp and just run a Squeezeplay client on it, this
would enable device sync and you get all the plugins, benefits and
features of LMS.

Note: I've not done this though so it might not work :)

Yep pretty much, take a look (on the XP machine) at the LMS Information
Tab and it shows the location of the Preference Folder.

Copy if over to the new machine to; C:\ProgramData\Squeezebox\prefs

I would rescan from scratch though rather than copy the old database
across.

Hi guys

Just in case you werent aware, you can quickly turn off SugarCube from
either the web interface or via the menu on the player Home menu, then
settings - Spicefly SugarCube (SugarCube Status On/Off)

I've sent a code extract over to Michael which will check whether
SugarCube is active or not, if there is anything you need tweaked on my
plugin drop me a note through my site or PM me.

Hi

Good starting point here, scroll towards the end of the page;

Then take a look at the headless setup once you are happy everything is
working;

 Perhaps this is also a matter of how TrackStat and Spicefly Sugarcube
 play together?

For clarity there is no interaction between SugarCube and TrackStat. 
Enabling the TrackStat option within SugarCube just informs SugarCube to
look for the TrackStat table data within the database and then SugarCube
runs its own logic using that additional data to make its track
selection.  It doesnt make any calls or interaction with TrackStat.

Probably, so many aliases !  :s

Think the QNAP issue is bottomed out.  Under heavy stress the CPU does
not have enough spare to run the SQLite db calls.  The default SQLite
calls have a timeout of 30secs so its pretty strange that they are not
able to complete in that time, but I guess if its under heavy load maybe
it doesnt.  I'll being adding a setting to increase the timeout up to
2mins and see if that helps.

Hi guys,

Last time I checked it wasnt illegal to have a holiday.

In terms of licensing, its straight forward, if you donated previously
you can use versions up to 3.51.

On the change to the new licensing model, I decided the following,
rather than force everybody to pay again;
For donations  £10 got 1yr license to use the latest versions ie. above
3.51 
For donations  £20 get lifetime to use the latest versions ie. above
3.51

You can evaluate one-time SCube for 30 days before making any purchase
decision, as detailed on the Spicefly Licensing page.

If you donated before you just need to contact me with your license
details as detailed on the Spicefly Licensing page.

End of the day if you dont like the licensing terms then dont use SCube.
Learn Perl and write you own plugin.

I wont reply to any further discussions on licensing.. 

If you have a support issue come back to me.  I helped out someone
already this week with a track selection issue which eventually turned
out to be using a filter that was limited to just a few tracks of their
library.  SCube doesnt have a fetish for Aretha Franklin, so please
check the settings carefully; 
http://www.spicefly.com/spicefly-sugarcube/troubleshooting.html

What does the SugarCube history page show?

Hi

I analysed the logs and db files that you sent me.  The SugarCube
database file looks fine I dont see any issues in there.  The log file
is showing tracks queueing up as expected without any issues.  However I
did notice in your server.log file that there are a lot of warnings on
playlists and also warnings on .wav files.

Can you please perform the following actions;
1) MusicIP GUI, check that it shows all your files as Green and
Analyzed, can you check Preferences - Watch Folders and make sure your
directory is in there and set to scan on startup (dont select monitor
folders continuously) if its not set to scan on startup, set it and then
shutdown MusicIP GUI.  Wait 10seconds and then restart MusicIP GUI and
let it rescan your music and make sure everything is ok.

2) Once the MusicIP GUI has completed.  Go to http://localhost:10002/
and select Reload Cache.

3) Perform a full clear and rescan on LMS.

Then see if there is any difference, the above steps will ensure that
everything is in-sync for LMS and MusicIP

 As for the troubleshooting link:
 
 1 - I went to http://localhost:10002/api/mix? to check the MusicIP
 installation and it checked out.  It spat out the 55 songs I have
 specified in the settings.
 2 - I checked Sugarcube history and it shows 0 songs like the above
 poster.  Though that is probably due to the fact that I uninstalled and
 reinstalled  LMS in my frustration to get Sugarcube working.  That, of
 course, did not help.  I have since played several songs and they still
 did not reflect in Sugarcube history.  But it definitely works as it
 picks the songs as it gets to the last song of any playlist.  So it
 definitely functions.
 3 - I never had any MIP filters on so that step does not apply.
 4 - I turned off TrackStat and the result is the same.
 5 - I'm meticulous about my music collection so my tags are perfect.
 
 Should I record a log maybe and post it here?
 
 Update: It seems to work for a few songs if I change server settings but
 then it goes right back to picking its favorite songs all over again.

Yep either post the server.log file here... or you can email it to me
using the email address from the paypal receipt.

Take a look at the Live View web page in LMS and also the History page

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Spicefly Voyager (Take Playlists on the move)

2012-05-17 Thread cparker

Spicefly Voyager is a free GPL released plugin to cover the situation
where I want to create playlists and take them away with me on holiday,
without the hassle of LMS rescanning for changes and editing m3u files. 


Scenario: My wife likes a track and hits a button to save it to her
playlist.  The playlist is stored in a standalone sqlite db which is
then sync'ed to my laptop that we take on holiday.  (Using SugarSync) On
holiday a simple click loads the playlist, job done!

Voyager is a simple save to playlist, play my playlist plugin.  Using
the relative path of the music track, it takes into account that the
home system has a different media base path for the music library than
the laptop. Plus using a standalone sqlite db means no need to rescan
the music library each time a change is made.

Voyager has very basic persona support, ie. multiple users and saving to
different playlists for different users.  

KNOWN ISSUES/FEATURES
Only tested on Windows 7
Changing Owners within Jive Menus will not automatically update the
available playlists for that owner. (Mitigation; Exit menu and
re-enter)
Changing Owners under web player settings will not automatically update
the available playlists for that owner. (Mitigation; Exit page and
re-enter)
Info Menus are not available unless there is at least one track in the
now playing list. (Logitech design constraint)
On Initialisation web player settings will be blank. (Mitigation; Go
into Jive Menus to set Owner/playlist)
It has no actual playlist management ie. delete, sorting, moving
anything around etc. (Mitigation; Use a db program to edit the sqlite
db)
No display of the playlist in the web interface. etc
Add New Owner - Use a db program to edit the sqlite db

SQLite Manager is a useful free browser addin for Firefox.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/

AS THIS IS A FREE GPL PLUGIN AND IT DOES WHAT I NEED IT TO DO, I WILL
NOT BE PROVIDING NEW FEATURES OR SUPPORT THIS PLUGIN.  THE CODE IS
HEAVILY COMMENTED TO AID YOUR DEVELOPMENT :) 

The GitHub location is; https://github.com/spicefly/Voyager

Repository Link to install; http://spicefly.com/voyager/repo.xml

The database files is held here (Windows 7) -
C:\ProgramData\Squeezebox\prefs\plugin\voyager.db
Copy this file from your main system to your travel laptop and as long
as your music tracks are in the same file structure it should work
fine.

Screenshot of the Settings Menu Item

Where Owner and Active Playlist can be changed
13390

On the Now Playing Window; Save the current playing track to the
Playlist or Load and Play the Playlist

Good Luck and I hope people will take this forward and make it better!

Check the tags of the files and remove any that are extraneous to

etc.
For mp3 files stick with frames that are only idv2.3 which work better
than idv2.4, remove idv1.x and idv2.4x

Nope, you can set where SugarCube should look for the headless api,
default is http://localhost:10002/ (ie same machine) but you can change
this under the plugin settings.  But the path for the music must be the
same and you need to manually keep the m3lib file in sync as previously
mentioned.

Re: Announce: Spicefly SugarCube Version 2.03 � (Automatic MusicIP DJ) for 7.x

2012-05-09 Thread cparker

Hi,

I'm a bit confused on your setup, so to simplify is this correct?

LMS 7.7.1 on a Synology DS1511+ NAS. 
MusicIP (headless) installed (on the NAS?)

MusicIP GUI installed on a laptop?
So you are using the laptop to do the analysis of your music files?
You have setup MusicIP to *save* the analysis into the music files?

(You are correct that the paths *must* match)
On your laptop can you reach your music by a UNC e.g. \\nas\media\music
Can you setup LMS on the NAS to also connect by UNC e.g.
\\nas\media\music
Setup MusicIP GUI to point via the same UNC e.g. \\nas\media\music  (See
Watch Folders under Preferences select your music files via the Network
and not the mapped network drive)

Once you have done the analysis on the laptop close down MusicIP and
copy the default.m3lib file and replace the file on the NAS.
Make sure the mmm.ini text file has the correct path to the
default.m3lib file ie. cache=

Hope that helps

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Sugarcube plays only (SugarCube Random Selection)

2012-04-02 Thread cparker

 Hi,
 
 I've installed Sugarcube with the trial version and tagged all my music
 using the MIPGui application.  Then pointed the headless MIP to the
 music folder and had MIP scan the tags to build it's DB.  Seemed fine,
 but every time SugarCube picks a track, it just picks random stuff from
 the same genre as the currently playing song.  I've tried adjusting the
 Style and Variety values all over the place, but nothing seems to
 work.
 
 What might I be doing wrong?
 
 Server is Ubuntu 11.10.
 
 Any ideas?

Take a look at the Live View, does it show Random Tracks being
selected?  Picking a track of the same Genre is a failback method when
MusicIP is not running.  

Have you tested the MusicIP Headless service and is it running, test it
via a web browser; http://localhost:10002/

You can replace the MusicIP interface (see my site for details) and
then try the Create Test Mix button.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] A couple of MusicIP questions

 So my questions are:
 Is MusicIP 1.9 beta 6 as stable as 1.8 under Linux? I'm especially
 interested in the watched folders and other tweaks you can set in the
 GUI carrying over without using a ton of CPU.
 

1.9b6 is very stable I dont have any issues with it under Win7 library
size 17k tracks.

sander;696376 Wrote: 
 
 Do I have the leave the GUI running to get the watched folders and
 other features functional?
 
I believe you need to leave the GUI open for watched folders.  Just use
Watch Folders scan on statup which will scan when you open the GUI.
(File - Preferences - Watch Folders) scan on startup.  It still finds
new files quicker than LMS :s   What do you mean by other features?

sander;696376 Wrote: 
 
 Has anyone had any trouble validating tracks lately? I'm not sure if
 its the AMS host or what, but my mixable count is barely budging as I
 add more tracks lately.

Not that I've noticed, seems ok.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Is there an alternative to Spicefly Sugarcube?

2012-02-09 Thread cparker

pippin;689682 Wrote: 
 My experience (I'm also having a hard time to get SugarCube to act like
 I want) is that this is mainly dependent on the MusicIP settings and
 it's the same in Phil's plugin, although I like Phil's plugin somewhat
 better than Sugarcube because I can just turn it off by playing
 something else and it doesn't change a whole bunch of other unrelated
 behaviors.
 
 But back to topic, here's my gotcha: For me the issue was that you now
 seem to _have_ to use the per-player MusicIP settings, no matter what
 the plugin says (both plugins) in the general setting... Wait, Phil's
 plugin only has per-player settings anyway but in SugarCube and MusicIP
 there's an option to not use per-player settings with MusicIP and that
 doesn't work as of my experience, you always have to configure the
 settings per player or they are set to ridiculous defaults.

Which version are you refering?  

SugarCube will only queue tracks if you enable it and depending on how
you configure it, only when LMS is playing the last track in a
playlist, otherwise it sits quietly in the background not doing
anything.  Additionally SCube v4 has a new feature coming shortly that
has settings sync, which will save the settings for all players (if
selected) and saves configuring SCube settings for each player.

Can you explain a little more what you mean regarding settings?  The
usage of per player settings enables you to be listening to Jazz for
example on your player, while your wife listens to Rave in the other
room on another player and the settings, selection criteria etc are
distinct from each other.

Could you use something like SaverSwitcher and maybe switch the

Five secs seems a bit high though, watch out for memory leaks! :)

If MusicAnalysis has not been performed on the track by someone else;
no PUID will be found for the track.

Simple answer dont worry about it, all you need for mixing are the
MUSICMAGICDATA and MUSICMAGICFINGERPRINT tags :)

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Sugarcube not honoring minimum ratings

2011-12-20 Thread cparker

MeSue;676331 Wrote: 
 I use Sugarcube set to mix by filters. All the filters I use only
 include songs rated 3 and higher. I also have the Trackstat block
 settings to block anything less than a 3 rating. Yet, I constantly get
 songs rated 1 and 2 in my mixes. I just double checked all my filters
 and made sure the Trackstat settings are set right (both checkboxes are
 ticked in Sugarcube settings) so I should not be getting these lower
 rated songs. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi MeSue

I was looking at this code lastnight as I'm rewriting this section to
tidy it up.  However I couldnt see any errors in the code and my
testing worked as expected.  

The only thing I can think of, is that the selectable tracks are
exhausted and its falling back to Wobble Mode/Random mode.  This is a
last ditch effort to pick a track, so it will take a track just based
on the current playing tracks genre and therefore not respect the
Trackstat settings.

The SugarCube LiveView will show the last random track selected so can
you check whether this lines up with when you have this problem.

Thanks

Hi Erland,

SugarCube looks at the TrackStat playcount, last played and the track
rating.

Are these still part of the free Trackstat?

 Hello,
 
 I noticed something strange since I'm running 7.6.1 of SBS along with
 3.50 of sugarcube.
 My SBS scans my whole music directory + import musicIP mixable status
 in 24 minutes (12 600 songs).
 In MusicIP mixer and headless WebUI : I have 12600 songs mixable.
 
 In SBS the scanner status says 12 600 songs when performing the MIP
 import, but the issue is that afterwards, I have lots of songs without
 the option to create a MusicIP mix. Moreover when I play one of those
 songs Sugarcube will not queue another song, though it says it finds a
 song in the server.log file !
 This issue is quite strange.
 
 What would be the steps to check in order to correct this ?
 
 Regards,
 Benoit

Hi, have you got it working now?  Does the SugarCube Live View show any
details/error msgs?  If not can you login to the spicefly forums and
open a topic in the support section.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Spicefly SugarCube Version 2.03 (Automatic MusicIP DJ) for 7.x

2011-07-15 Thread cparker

Sometimes its greyed out when its scanning.  Try waiting for it to
finish and then go into the menus and try to select it.  Failing that
just select all your music files in the gui window and right click and
select Archive Analysis modifies file (or something like that) and it
will punch it into the files.

Also Right Click in the left window where it has Library and select new
filter, and select Match All conditions; Stored Analysis... is
missing...  
This will then create a filter view that will show files that dont have
the analysis saved within them, which you may find helpful.

Cheers

Mix by Album - Is like Mix by Song but uses the overall style of the

 Also, is it a good idea to wait until I've used Trackstat for a while
 before turning it on in Spicefly?
 

The mixes will improve as the Trackstat dataset becomes larger
(playcount, recently played etc) It doesnt hurt to have it turned on. 
Later versions of SugarCube have a pre-requirement to install TrackStat
as its fundamental to stop MusicIP looping and repeating the same tracks
over the course of a few days.

If you keep the file paths the same for both MusicIP and SBS then it
should be ok split across servers.

Example; 
server1 (Running MIP) file path; z:\music or \\NAS\music
server2 (Running SBS) file path; z:\music or \\NAS\music

Then I dont see why it wouldnt work, never tried it myself though :)
