Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
Hi all, I switched from windows 7 to mac with a shiny new imac from 27" with osx " lion ". I installed "Logitech Media Server", then I have below the official procedure http://www.sugarmonster.net/InguzDownloads/index.html here to install Mono and Inguz. I tried and tried, the Inguz plugin is load but i can't see any possible corrections to the list of file types "Advanced-> File types". I even restarted the "touch" but nothing. For the Mac, I could be a help? The strange thing is that with the "Squeeze Commander" application on android can choose various fixes ".wav" while the browser Firefox on mac. Of course the various fixes are not applied, the plugin does not work. Thanks.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
Hi, I'm running the latest 7.7.1 stable (i.e. not nightly build) on Debian Squeeze. I've successfully installed Inguz and the filter processor. The log.txt shows 20120327141052: InguzDSP (version 0.9.32 on Mono) 20120327141053: -id must be specified. I know this has been addressed before, but I've followed the suggested fixes and they appear to have already been implemented in thet latest Inguz version. I have not hardcoded the player's MAC address as per a previous post, this seems to be something different. Any ideas?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
I think you should disable every "native" option in File Types setting. I'm using it that way and it works OK. Good luck ~ And one thing more... Because custom-covert.conf is automatically generated according to the system, and sometimes custom-convert happens to change without any sign. (for example, after your upgrading squeezebox server program) So, If the sound is not just right, check custom-convert.conf again. -- shlee shlee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43915 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68618 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Hello, thanks for the reply. I tried the way I have indicated, following your instructions to the letter, but unfortunately is unable to start the dsp with mp4 and m4a files, Nothing to do. There must be some other setting. In the preferences of the server (file types) I have disabled both the streams in mp3 and pcm. But the fact is that the server version 7.5.1 and the "duet" work.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
Hello, I'm not a linux guy, but I modified custom-convert.conf according
to the default convert.conf.
And it Works...
I'm using SBS 7.6 nightly build on ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
First, you need to find custom-convert.conf which is located in
/usr/squeezeboxserver/Plugins/InguzEQ/ or something like that.
Using your text editor, modify the config:
You can see alc flc * 00:00:00:00:00:00:00(mac address) part in the
file.
Change it like this:
alc flc * 00:00:00:00:00:00(squeezebox's mac address)
# FT:{START=-j %s}U:{END=-e %u}
[faad] -q -w -f 1 $START$ $END$ $FILE$ | [InguzDSP] -id
"00:00:00:00:00:00(mac address here)" -wav -wavo -d 24 | [flac] -cs -0
--totally-silent -
aac flc *00:00:00:00:00:00(squeezebox's mac address)
# IF
[faad] -q -w -f 1 $START$ $END$ $FILE$ | [InguzDSP] -id
"00:00:00:00:00:00(mac address here)" -wav -wavo -d 24 | [flac] -cs -0
--totally-silent -ignore-chunk-sizes -
mp4 flc * 00:00:00:00:00:00(squeezebox's mac address)
# IF
[faad] -q -w -f 1 $START$ $END$ $FILE$ | [InguzDSP] -id
"00:00:00:00:00:00(mac address here)" -wav -wavo -d 24 | [flac] -cs -0
--totally-silent -ignore-chunk-sizes -
Caution! Don't forget using your own squeezebox's mac address.
Please do not capy & paste modification above. You must use your own
mac address.
Save the change and restart the squeezebox server.
It should be like this on Ubuntu: sudo /etc/init.d/squeezeboxserver
restart
or simply just reboot.
Finally check the File Types on Squeezebox Server Setting page.
If you changed custom-convert.conf successfully, you can select
faad/InguzEQ on drop box.
Play the music and check if it's working. Good Luck~

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
I managed with success the installation of the inguz plugin on the squeezebox server 7.5.3 after having followed the procedure explained in that thread. Thanks to everybody. I've also got a normal behavior of the plugin in Firefox by replacing the old Silverlight.js file (part of the Inguz distribution) by a new one from the URL code.msdn.microsoft.com/silverlightjs In fact, Silverlight.js "depends on browser implementation details that can change between Silverlight release", and there is a big gap between the first and the fourth version! I think the improvement is also perceptible in IE. My next step will be to test the DSP part of the plugin with a measure file from REW before to decide myself to make a big jump in room correction with audiolense (user friendly) or acourate (but seems to be really too complicated). -- titidsp titidsp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43476 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68618 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
I hope someone can point me in the right direction here. I seem to have found a consistent point where my Inguz install fails via muski's procedure. I get thru the final terminal command to check if everything is working, and file types are indeed set for Inguz. When I do the restart via the prefpane and go back to try to use the Inguz menus via the player interface I still get the message that I need to restart - and this message will not go away. The Inguz log.txt file says this: 20100205192823: InguzDSP (version 0.9.32 on Mono) 20100205192823: -id must be specified. I assume this -id is referring to my SB3.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
Hi all, glad to see this thread's still moving. I'm a bit confused and hope someone can help. I've installed Inguz correctly as far as I can make out, including making all the suggested changes to Plugin.pm (talk about plug and play!). I've disabled all the FLAC File Types everything apart from flac/InguzDSP, and I can play FLAC files ok. However, I can't discern any difference when changing any filter settings. InguzDSP.exe is running whenever I play a track, but the processor load is pretty low, between 2% and 10%. It jumps to max of 40% when I make a change, like load a new filter through the Plugin Settings web interface (tip: don't wait for the page to load, click "EQ" where it says "Home>EQ" at the top left as soon as the page starts to load, and the rest of the page loads ok, without the Silverlight error). Then the CPU load drops down to between 2% and 10% again. This is on a 1.6Ghz Core2Duo, so no super-duper processor or anything. I've generated a few filters with REW - correctly I think. I exported as Filter Impulse WAVs, so that's the first thing to check, is that the right thing to export? Also, I generated the filters as Mono, with separate Left and Right speaker recordings. Then I used Audacity to combine them, but I don't know if I did it right - I opened both tracks, then hit Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C on one track, then Ctrl-V in the other track. This seemed to paste the second track into the first one, then I clicked Make Stereo Track and saved it as a WAV in the highest resolution format I could find. Phew... Anyhow, I've put the Filter files into the Impulses folder, and they're listed ok. But there doesn't seem any difference between them. Even turning Room correction off doesn't seem to make any difference. I'm not convinced that boosting or cutting on the graphic EQ is doing anything either, although everything shows on screen. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have a radical filter to try?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
I've got Inguz running on 7.4.2 with the Skarpa changes (Thanks!) to plugin.pm. I also needed to use IE for web control because the plugin did not render correctly in FF. Additionally, I had to install Squeezeplay to get access to the Settings/Test Tone menu because I am running a solo SBR (setup with net-udap) and no controller. At this point I have my sweeps recorded and I am ready to process them and I need a little guidance. First, what version of DRC do most of you use for this? The latest (3.1.0) doesn't seem to have all of the files in the "sample" folder, flat.txt, ecm8000.txt, bk-3-spline.txt, but they do appear in the "source" folder. Version 2.6.2 seems to have all the files in the "sample" folder, although I don't think it makes any difference what folder you pull them from since they are just text files, but I thought I would check.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
I think the plugin changes the stream to 24-bit, don't know if the frequency changes too. Update for me - My normal speakers are expensive Zu Definition 2s, wideband drivers supplemented at the very top and bottom with supertweeters and subwoofers. But most of the music is without crossovers, characterized by a huge, dynamic colorful presentation. The speakers that got me oriented toward the Definitions are still in the house - homebuilt single-driver, bass-reflex boxes per the "Big Fun Box" recipe on the TNT Audio website. The drivers are old hemp 8"ers from Omega. These normally live in my garage. In the right (small) room, with sufficient room reinforcement they sound great, miniatures of my big 'uns. The wideband signature is there in spades but they do not have nearly the refinement. And, a peaky presence band reveals they're not cut from the same, refined cloth. I've had these speakers in my big system for a bit and really, really wanted to set them up with Inguz, which apparently doesn't work with .cue files. I kept my 'backup' set with .cue and .wav files but for 'play' I sliced up to individual files with Foobar, updated to the SBS 7.5 daily, and spent about an hour doing measurements with Room EQ Wizard and some pink noise played back through the SB (as opposed to REW). Net result? Holy friggin' cow! I'm not one for hyperbole but these $200 speakers are utterly phenomenal once the frequency response is smoothed out. My neighbor knows my main system better than anyone but me, I have him over once a month or so for long, late listening sessions. He came over Friday afternoon for a couple hours and he was blown away. The similarities with the big rig are undeniable. Of course, I couldn't EQ below their natural dropoff at 50 hz and they don't have the same supertweeter sparkle as their 55x more-expensive bretheren but I dialed in a slightly boosted 50 - 200 hz range (better than flat to most ears)and bass is most satisfying with most music now where it was nearly absent before. It is beyond sad to me that this software appears to be on the road to deprecation and I'll soon have to start choosing between staying current with my software and keeping the Inguz plugin which I'll reiterate is THE MOST important plugin of all to this audiophile. It makes your system sound better. What other plugin (or source for that matter) can do that? Anyhoo, wanted to report in and bump the topic up again.

Hi guys, Should the EQ work for FLAC aswell? If yes, anything required in order to enable that particular file type? As you might have guessed I have installed it as per "a.skarpa - procedure" and this is what I see: 1. Menu-option 2 on remote: "SqueezeCenter needs to be restarted"? 2. The Tone-tests under "settings" works. Quietness also. 3. Changing EQ settings like balance, bass, treble has no effect. So it works but just not the ones I want to work (balance, bass, treble).

Hi, I would thank Inguz for his latest news. I tried new version of DSP and works like a charm. Thanks for the sources also (maybe it will be useful for the new project I told privately). I see you haven't modified the plugin yet for being compatible with 7.4, if you see my post #39 you will find the solution. For final version maybe adding one IF (version>=7.4) will suffice.

Message back from MickeyG and my reply to him . . . "Mike: Sorry for the late reply. It's been somewhat busy around here. :-( I've not listened to the Inguz product myself, but it's easy to imagine that digitally equalizing for your room and system in software would work great. It hadn't dawned on me to do it within Squeezebox Server, but it would definitely work. I would agree that it's a cool thing to do for us audiophiles. The basic underpinnings could be handled by SoX or Sound eXchange (http://sox.sourceforge.net/Docs/Features), which is already built into Squeezebox Server 7.4.0. It's capable of equalizing the audio in the digital domain, I believe. However, we already have plenty on our plate for software development and can't spare the people to work on this. There might be some people in our developer community who might be interested in doing this. Although I'm not a SoX expert, I believe it's not a super daunting task, and is probably achievable with a bit of work. (It would involve tweaking the SoX config file, but I'm not sure.)It sounds like it should be right up the alley for some of them. It's a great idea, Mike. I can probably offer some expert guidance from some of the guys here if needed. Mickey" Me: No worries, thanks for the reply! Gotta love the open-source architecture, it's a major advantage for you guys (and us). The very best news is that a) Hugh has reappeared; b) he's revised the Inguz code to remove expiration date; and c) with a small bit of playing the existing code can work with 7.4. While I don't have any special need to have the EQ code written by the Logitech machine, a primary challenge has been and will be to keep the EQ current with the ever-evolving software. I'm sure Hugh would welcome the help, I know in the beginning he fancied charging for the software at some point but I believe he's been off that plan for some time. He might be amenable to having it be a team effort of some kind." Maybe I'm out of line, hopefully not.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
Good question. A big part of the .cue thing was that I started that way maybe five years ago. At the time either flac wasn't a 'thing' or I just didn't know about it. I was into mixed cd's then and gapless playback was critical. Once in the habit, I kept ripping that way. Since, I have reinforced my thought process and still like the method for my purposes. I still have a lot of gapless music (and yes I know flac supports this) but also I keep and stream .wav files which have inferior tagging capabilities. My backup files are flacs and also a lot of my primary music. I do have a lot of separate, individual files but about 600 albums are cue/wav. A few friends with very nice systems swear they can hear the difference between wav and flac files, one even says he can hear a decompressed flac (now wav) file versus a pristine one that's never been compressed. I haven't done any careful evaluations on either count and don't have an opinion on either scenario but I do like the idea of having a copy that's 'just what's on the disc'. I also like knowing th I wouldn't re-rip my collection for the unlikely benefit, but since it's there I don't want to give it up either. I like knowing the waveform is precisely what's on the disc as far as track gaps and also EAC's offset corrections are way less important with one big file instead of individual tracks. Aside from occasional software concerns (SB Server) there really isn't a downside either. EAC and Foobar treat .cue tracks just as they would individual files. -- miklorsmith miklorsmith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4349 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68618 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Thanks for the kind words, Mike. I've been waay behind the curve in keeping up with the Squeezebox Server changes. Part of this was just laziness; with my own system I got to the stage where everything was working quite adequately well, while the server kept moving underneath me, and it was a struggle to engage. Part of it was just procrastination and other time pressures :-) Anyhow, there's a new development which may or may not be of interest. I've updated the tools and DSP to remove their expiry dates. Current downloads are on http://inguzaudio.com/downloads/. At the same time, I've pushed the sourcecode (including all the DSP) to github under the MIT free license. Now, the plugin still hasn't been updated to work with the 7.4 system. That'll take a little work -- not sure how much, yet. I hope to get on that soon.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
All my 7.4.x efforts have failed me. There's a bug (filed) with .cue sheets that seems to plague all the versions. I'll be downgrading for the time being. My recollection is Inguz had a hard time with .cue sheets before so I'm not holding my breath that I'll get it back but at least I'll have a server that works. I sent the following message to 'MickeyG' last week, not sure if he's the right dude or what (sorry for length): "I'm an audiophile guy, have been for 20 years. I was a reviewer for 6moons for a while and have a fair bit of experience with equalizers and DSP, having owned three different TacT units and Inguz for quite a while through 3 Squeezebox Classics. While the Squeezebox is arguably more geared toward the 'consumer' market over hardcore audiophiles (more for price than anything else), it can be featured in a Very Serious setup. My primary rig would retail for over $25k and my (modded) SB to an outboard DAC is my best possible digital link. The Transporter is unabashedly audiophile-oriented. While us sound-dorks will yell all over that our gear is so good we don't need tone controls, the simple truth is we do. For a ton of reasons, primarily room/speaker interactions, speaker/amp pairings, and fundamental speaker issues, in-room response is almost always terrible. Of course, most of us don't know that, but it doesn't mean it's not a problem. We don't know it mostly because our stereos don't permit any fiddling. If we have controls, we'll play. If we play we'll realize there's more there than what we're getting, and if we're serious we'll actually measure the room to see where the problems are. If we have tools to fix them, the end-result can be really, completely unbelievable. For a few years, Inguz has provided a very nice though quirky feature-set to dial in one's system. However, support for SB Server 7.4.x has gone dry and is set to expire in January. At present, the code needs to be tweaked to get it to run at all, and even then it causes problems with .cue files and maybe more. Most of my collection is set up with single music files + .cue sheets. There are quite a few people that are concerned about Inguz expiring and the loss of support. This would seem a great time for Logitech to pick up the EQ torch and integrate it as a core feature of the software. The current options for EQ in a system are not good. I ultimately went away from the *very expensive* TacT units because their digital processing engine drained life from the music. Analog EQs are not flexible enough and add a tremendous amount of analog circuitry to the chain, also a big no-no. There are software packages that can do this work, but they too cost big dollars and also can't pair with SB Server. Having the source itself be the EQ is freaking brilliant, it's manipulating the file in its native habitat (the server) and the results don't impart an artificial character, it's all the good with none of the bad. In my opinion, and some others I've talked to, this feature is the single-most important 'extra' the software includes. I understand all the cool gizmos and people do like those, but this one actually makes your system sound better, a lot lot lot better. >From Logitech's standpoint, the potential sales advantage to the audiophile customer is undeniable. In my mind, it's the last dagger in the CD player's coffin. Even the grouchy old guys will get it, since they remember the days when hi-fi kit included tone controls. But, these are a thousand times better. Sorry for the long message, thanks for staying with me. I understand this may be a significant undertaking, who knows, maybe Hugh is done updating the software and would happily turn over what he has to you. I can't possibly overstate how important this feature is to a good number of your serious sound customers.

Thanks! I got it. I haven't been using Inguz for quite a while and spaced out the DSP plugin portion. I thought I didn't need it since I'm not using the room correction feature. It's really unbelievable how much better the music shines through when the system and room modes are smoothed out. Now I have to find a good measurement setup that can run through the SB . . .

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
Sweet, I'll give that one a go tonight. By my comments I do not mean to denigrate Hugh for his tireless and excellent work, the work of members looking to get the functionality back, nor Logitech for continuing to support open-source architecture which benefits us all. I only mean now seems like a good time to lift Hugh off the hook. And, I believe it's true he builds expiration dates into the Inguz builds. If this is the case, we have a limited time to use the software, regardless of staying on an older platform or finding a good workaround. On the subject of moving "frequency centers", I find this an extremely important function. Early in the Inguz development I chatted quite a bit with Hugh and even had him over to my house for a listen (very nice guy btw). At the time, the variable-center function wasn't in the software. Coming from the TacT preamp units and seeing huge benefit, I implored him to upgrade the EQ function from a 'graphic' to 'parametric'. The reason is that a graphic EQ allows fiddling - bump here, cut there, stop when it sounds 'good'. While this is a useful function and far better than nothing, it doesn't allow corrections to be applied exactly where they are needed. When measuring a room there are invariably bumps to be trimmed and holes to be filled (within reason). Without a parametric EQ, 'frequency centers' cannot be correlated with places of need. The two elements of a true parametric EQ not present in a graphic EQ are 1) movable frequency centers, and 2) "Q", or width of the band in terms of octaves. Hugh agreed. Applying the idea, he found moving frequency centers was relatively easy and he fairly quickly applied that to the software. However, varying width of the band proved more difficult and that part never made it to the software. Nevertheless, his solution enables the measured approach of measuring the room, applying corrections, listening, measuring, applying, etc. The end result is an intentional compromise of measured flatness and audible preference. The importance of this function to, well, everyone's better sound cannot be overstated. -- miklorsmith miklorsmith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4349 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68618 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
Hi,
+1 for Logitech to support EQ and/or DRC.
However I try to find a workaround for having today's InguzEQ working
with 7.4.x.
Can someone try the following steps, modyfing \Program
Files\Squeezebox\server\Plugins\InguzEQPlugin.pm ?
1) follow instruction of my post #21: substitute line 391:
OLD: my @rootdirs = Slim::Utils::PluginManager::pluginRootDirs();
NEW: my @rootdirs =
Slim::Utils::PluginManager::dirsFor($thisapp,'enabled');
(note: the word E-N-A-B-L-E-D is written without spaces)
2) (new try) substitute lines from 742 to 747:
OLD:
Slim::Web::HTTP::addPageFunction("plugins/InguzEQ/index.html",
\&handleWebIndex);
Slim::Web::HTTP::addPageFunction("plugins/InguzEQ/Silverlight.js",
\&handleWebStatic);
Slim::Web::HTTP::addPageFunction("plugins/InguzEQ/Scene.js",
\&handleWebStatic);
Slim::Web::HTTP::addPageFunction("plugins/InguzEQ/Model.js",
\&handleWebStatic);
Slim::Web::HTTP::addPageFunction("plugins/InguzEQ/Scene.xaml",
\&handleWebStatic);
Slim::Web::HTTP::addPageFunction("plugins/InguzEQ/inguz.png",
\&handleWebStatic);
NEW:
Slim::Web::Pages->addPageFunction("plugins/InguzEQ/index.html",
\&handleWebIndex);
Slim::Web::Pages->addPageFunction("plugins/InguzEQ/Silverlight.js",
\&handleWebStatic);
Slim::Web::Pages->addPageFunction("plugins/InguzEQ/Scene.js",
\&handleWebStatic);
Slim::Web::Pages->addPageFunction("plugins/InguzEQ/Model.js",
\&handleWebStatic);
Slim::Web::Pages->addPageFunction("plugins/InguzEQ/Scene.xaml",
\&handleWebStatic);
Slim::Web::Pages->addPageFunction("plugins/InguzEQ/inguz.png",
\&handleWebStatic);
On 7.4.1 (official) these steps made the transcoding working for me.
BTW it works even better than 7.3.3, only one instance of socketwrapper
is present during playback.
Test signals and room correction work from my Squeezebox3 Classic, the
web interface works as it was in 7.3.3 (can't modify frequency bands,
but you can save settings, set number of bands, etc).
I hope this workaround works for you guys.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
To be fair Hugh/Inguz has done an amazing job (thank you!) and has kept it pretty much up to date without charging a penny. If he misses the odd update etc. then it isn't really a bid deal! But I find it staggering that Logitech have not at least implemented some sort of EQ. It can't be particularly difficult, and it has always been pretty much impossible to buy a normal music system without EQ (unless you go audiophile top end). DRC would be nice too (even if they just leave it up to the user to generate the filters themselves using 3rd party software).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
I guess at this point we should assume Hugh is done updating Inguz to the umpteen software upgrades? If this is so, we have a few options - downgrade to 7.3 forever, find new benefactor(s)to figure out how Inguz works now and carry the torch with future upgrades, or lobby Logitech to incorporate some/all of Inguz' function as an official component. My druthers would be the last option - convince Logitech of the merits of being at the front of this crucial function. To keep it simple, we could start with the EQ only, then see if integrating DRC is within reach. I've done a lot of DRC, having owned three different models of TacT preamps over a couple of years. My humble opinion is that most of what can be done with DRC is achievable with a parametric EQ and simple measurement tools. This solution equals way less signal manipulation and processing power. I'm not advocating against DRC, just saying Logitech might be more amenable to bite-sized chunks instead of a large undertaking.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
I have three SB systems, the biggun, one in the livingroom, and one in the garage. The big system has a separate bass circuit from the preamp > professional EQ > stereo Pro amps > subs. It really represents The Ideal, as the mains are kept free of any fiddling and the sub frequencies, say 70 hz down, are fully in control. It's amazing how much getting the bass 'right' helps the rest of the spectrum. Tip of the day - if you're using subs, do you know where your phase is? It doesn't take much overlap/phase misalignment to Kill big chunks of bass in a room. Like 25 db kill. Get it right and all the speakers work way less with much-reduced distortion. It's quite shocking to me that many subs only supply a +/- control, but that's another topic . . . In this setup, I likely won't be using Inguz, as I have a complete hardware/software suite. However, my garage system includes a pair of handbuilt single-driver, bass-reflex boxes. The speakers really would like a smaller room and better corner reinforcement. But the garage is as big as it is and corners aren't available. The setup actually sounds really good, way better than a garage should (and better than my livingroom setup). However, it needs a little massaging. It does make bass, but has the dreaded single-driver presence-band lift. So the bass is recessed. Using my .mp3 player as source and goosing its EQ, which is way less sophisticated than Inguz', it comes into balance and sounds killer. If I could instead stream my lossless files and really tailor the speaks to that room, I'd be in tinkerer's heaven. As it is now, the .mp3 player sounds better than the SB, even with worse music files just because of the response curve. The livingroom setup is a little thumpy in the bass, obvious port lift. I'd probably just measure the exact frequency, move Inguz frequency center to that location, and drop about 3 db - easy fix. Additional hardware can do the job, but can also introduce other problems, especially transparency if used above the bass range. And that's my core point, please please please can Logitech just incorporate this as a feature? It seems only a matter of time before Hugh gets sick of following the never-ending software changes (which are fantastic btw) and gives up. Maybe he already has. >From a hardcore audiophile perspective, this is probably THE MOST IMPORTANT PLUGIN OF ALL. Period, bar none. It's such as huge advantage over the competition.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
Has anyone here played around with the Brutefir plugin if Inguz is not going to be following SBS forward? Inguz took me a while to figure out - but at first glance Brutefir looks to have an even steeper learning curve. I'm considering the SVS AS-EQ1. It's getting great reviews and is apparently very easy to use and affordable. Since a majority of the problems we're trying to correct are bass related, it should do the trick for those of using a sub. If anyone has tried some of Audyssey's other stuff the results are generally very impressive. -- esbrewer Server: 2.4GHz Intel iMac running Mac OS 10.6.1 and SC 7.4 Sources: SB3 (2), SB Boom, NAD C542, NAD T515 Amplification: NAD C720BEE Loudspeakers: Paradigm Studio 20 (v.1), SVS SB-12 Plus Headphones: Grado SR60, Etymotic ER4P http://www.last.fm/user/esbrewer esbrewer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12409 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68618 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
Ok boys, sorry for not having been non-programmer-friendly. Here are the
steps that work for me.
1) Locate the plugin directory (for me is "C:\Program
Files\SqueezeCenter\server\Plugins\InguzEQ")
2) Open "Plugin.pm" with you favourite editor (notepad ?)
3) Modify lines from 391 to 400, adding a '#' character in the
beginning:
BEFORE:
my @rootdirs = Slim::Utils::PluginManager::pluginRootDirs();
for my $d (@rootdirs)
{
if( $d =~ m/$thisapp/i )
{
my $cp = catdir( $d, 'custom-convert.conf' );
debug( "New CP:" . $cp );
return $cp;
}
}
AFTER:
# my @rootdirs = Slim::Utils::PluginManager::pluginRootDirs();
# for my $d (@rootdirs)
# {
# if( $d =~ m/$thisapp/i )
# {
# my $cp = catdir( $d, 'custom-convert.conf' );
# debug( "New CP:" . $cp );
# return $cp;
# }
# }
4) Save the file
5) Restart squeezebox server.
NOTE: if you try to go to plugin from web interface (player/EQ) it will
alway tell "restart server", but the important thing is transcoding
works.
To amcluesent:
I saw from the logs that Slim::Utils::PluginManager::PluginRootDirs()
is deprecated and thus gave the blocking error in 7.4.
I understand that there would be a better way, but I haven't idea of
how a slimserver plugin is written, this is my first look to it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
I'm on 7.4.1, everything seems to be running great regarding general function. But, trying to run just the EQ from Inguz, I'm stymied. I installed the plugin, then read here the way to do it is through the secondary download function in the "plugin" section of the Settings menu in the SB Server Web Ccntrol. Inguz doesn't have an easy address to include - the 'Download' leads to a zip file/destination screen that doesn't seem to fit here so I didn't try to stick it there. Nonetheless, the EQ plugin appears in all the places it needs to and appears in the menu. All the functions seem to work perfectly through the remote BUT - no effect. None of the settings DO anything. Balance can be all the way to one speaker but both play equally no matter how many times I try restarting. Anyone else have this experience? It seems like it should be something really simple but I'm drawing blanks.

My install of 7.4 was a clean one. I'm hoping that Hugh hasn't set Inguz DRC aside permanently.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz and 7.4
Exactly the same on Vista. The menus and everything are there except the filetypes, and there was no request for a restart. Maybe that is why Inguz worked when I installed 7.4 over 7.3.3 on my XP machine. Is it possible that whatever happens after the request for a restart was done correctly via 7.3.3, and didnt need to be done again? Clutching at straws here, but did you install Inguz on a clean version of 7.4?
