Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Success: MusicIP and Spicefly Sugarcube running on Raspberry Pi
Hi, As I experienced network problems in a former installation, I decided to set up MusicMagic Server from scratch with Max2Play on a Raspberry PI 4B 1GB with Debian Buster and LMS version 7.9.4. Following this guide I got stuck while adding tracks to MusicMagic Server. Although all files were fingerprinted and tagged before with the Windows version, only a rough quarter of them is listed as 'mixable songs' but MusicIP import in LMS is possible for all of these songs. Any suggestions are appreciated...

These were only the results of my music analysis via the Windows version (MusicIP Mixer 1.96 beta 6). The analysis on my raspberry with version 1.8 still gets reduced results for mixable songs.

As I didn't find a one-fits-all solution I normally use 'Windows Media Player' as a library tool and for ratings, 'MusicBrainz Picard' and 'Mp3tag' to adjust tags and finally 'Nightingale' (fork of 'Songbird') to copy only tracks being rated 4+ to the USB drive which also leads to another folder structure. I really need to shorten that pipeline. Which program(s) do you use? Anyway, I connected the USB drive to my PC and scanned the files with MusicIP (Status: all files except one mixable, as mentioned before). Then I forced MusicIP to archive the analysis within the files again. The result with MusicMagicServer on the Pi now already looks better: Total songs 11,857 Mixable songs 10,569 Songs to validate 1,514 macpac's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70877 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106958 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Using the 1.8 Windows version was key to getting the MusicIP fingerprints identified on my Raspberry. It seems that every change to any tag in a mp3 file leads to MusicIP listing the file as not being analyzed. Changes made with MusicBrainz Picard Tagger 2.5.2 led to mp3tag listing these files as "!BAD ID3v2". So, I had to reanalyze a lot of files again and again. Looking at the relevant tags for MusicIP (MUSICMAGIC DATA and MUSICMAGIC FINGERPRINT), there are now multiple versions of these tags in my files!?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Sugarcube - Settings clarification
Hi there, a slightly related topic: Where can I permanently fix the value for MusicIP Request No. of Tracks (Number of Tracks to Request from MusicIP)? I have it set to '100' because TrackStat filter out a lot of songs after a while. Every time I restart LMS this value is set back to '10'. Probably there is a setting file where I can change this standard value...?

As you are quite active again with updates recently, I'd like to suggest you an additional feature: In contrast to MusicIP playlists, Spicefly SugarCube only offers the possibility to add one song after another. Also with very restrictive settings for Mix Style and Mix Variety this leads to a dynamic mix but sometimes I'd like to stick to a more similar type of music or call it "genre". To be honest, I don't know how genres have to be defined for MusicIP. I have many files that have multiple genres in the tag and obviously they are not recognized individually by the system. Moreover, there is no reliable source for genre tagging in the web anymore (e.g. like last.fm was). So, I thought you might add the possibility to add more than one file after another, e.g. up to 5 songs which rank high in the list of songs that are recommended by MusicIP. The basis for determing similarity could also be more than only the last song if that is feasible within the framework. I'd really appreciate if you could work this out because I really like the coherency of MusicIP playlists. End of wishlist. 🤠Best regards, Magnus macpac's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70877 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114102 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

By the way in which tag are ratings stored by MusicIP? Anyway, the problem with SugarCube + filter would then still be that the next song is always chosen in reference to only the one listened to before, right? macpac's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70877 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114102 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
