Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MUSO - Support Thread
What's the status regarding Muso and Linux or OSX support ? Is there any
way to get it to work reliably on Linux or OSX ?
Muso looks really great, but the thing that always stops me is that
I've bad experience with other applications when trying to use Wine and
Mono, which both often have various issues. Does Muso work reliable with
Wine or Mono ?

Well, such things are normally left to the player itself, it's just a click on the remote for Squeezebox devices, and similar for iTunes and Winamp players. It's do-able though, since I think all the player APIs support toggling shuffle mode.

So it's just the one album you'd want shuffled, rather than turning on shuffle mode. That makes it a muso function, it can randomise the tracks itself. I'll look into it. NB. You can already queue up random tracks by genre - select a genre from the filter quick-pick list, then hit the magic wand (queues up 10 random tracks each click, it ensures there are no duplicates even if you click 10 times). -- jezbo jezbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

A simple request would be to show the origin of the lyrics displayed for the Now Playing track. In iPeng I can see if there are no lyrics embedded in the music file but iPeng found lyrics on the internet, and then I can try to find the lyrics and embed them (since that is the way I like to have it).

Thanks for listening! The display view in the referenced link - or some other solution - could be useful in a full screen display where different images (back, inside, inlay, booklet, cd/lp/single) for one album are displayed really large and can be altered/moved by the arrow keys. I forgot to request the ability to display embedded cover art for the Now Playing song. (For compilation or VA albums I embed different singles cover art for each track, and I have a folder.jpg in the album folder to represent the compilation/VA album as an entity.)

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MUSO - Support Thread
Are your album files on a network drive and is access to that drive quite slow? 3 hours is quite a long time to scan for files, even if there are over a quarter of a million of them. Is the scan you initiate from muso a scan of folders, or a synch with Squeezebox Server? The latter is probably faster. When muso scans folders, it is only looking for song files, not images, it only looks for additional images only when you view the album or now playing page. Are you sure that muso can access the song folder at this point? Do you arrange this via a drive mapping? A view of the Options/Music Sources/Squeezebox Server page would be useful, plus a view of how the track paths are stored in muso (from your album view click on Edit Tracks, and ensure the File Path is displayed and visible when you take the screenshot).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MUSO - Support Thread
Have you tried with another album? If your hard drive takes a while to spin up, then you will not get images for the first album you access and that result is cached so that album will not show images during that session. But if you choose a second album when the hard drive is up and running you should hopefully see the images. I had the same issue and it took some investigation to find out what was going on. -- vagskal 2 x SB3 (wired), Receiver (wired), Boom (wireless), Controller, iPeng on iPhone 4 & iPad, muso on remote computer running Win 7 64-bit | 7.1.2 on Win XP vagskal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20778 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

That's a good point. There is quite a short timeout when it looks for images so that it doesn't wait around too long, and it does cache the result of the search for the session - but I might fine tune this by making it look again if last time it has timed out. -- jezbo jezbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

By the way, I see you have a review.txt file in the folder too. Muso won't currently pick .txt files up, but I could perhaps make it do so (show a link saying "review" on the artwork page and when clicked inject the textual content into the display).

Muso's artwork is independent to SBS. It gets it from: (a) image files in the song folder (filespec configurable), (b) song file tags (c) last.fm API web search (if web resources search configured) (d) Amazon API web search (if web resources search configured) It doesn't look in SBS's artwork repository, it's not exposed in a usable way. For any albums it has not found artwork automatically you can take control of it manually, drag an image from a web browser or your filesystem to the album page (or the album blank cd display in the albums page). The "google image search" link is provided on the album page as a help for this process. -- jezbo jezbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MUSO - Support Thread
I've been using my licensed copies of muso for a couple of weeks now and I had not run into any performance issues until today. Today I had to replace my router and during the process the router changed my Squeezebox Server IP address from 192.168.1.107 to 192.168.1.3 When I tried to change this setting in muso (tools->options->music sources->SBS->SBS configuration->host) muso was very, very slow in responding. Once I did manage to made the change muso returned to its normal speed and now everything is working just fine. Not a major bug but annoying nonetheless. My feature request is twofold: 1) Is there any way you might be able to add support for reading/viewing any simple text files that are stored in the album folder? I often have text files containing information about the recording especially when the recording is not from a commercial CD, such as live recordings. The ability to read these info files would be greatly appreciated. 2) Is there any way you might be able to add support for viewing image and pdf files which are stored in a sub-folder of the album folder? I often have a sub-folder labeled "scans" or "art" or "artwork" containing additional image files, especially when there are many images, such as when I scan an entire booklet from a multi-disc set.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MUSO - Support Thread
Hi, I thought I would post this one on the forum to see if others have had the same problem. When I started ripping music I used Windows Media Player to rip to MP3. When completed the tags "looked ok" and complete. However, since I have put my music library onto a Windows Home Server Version 1, I have noticed that the tags are not correct. I use the W.H.S for my library together with Muso as a front end, so anyone on my home network can use it. Muso found an anomoly that I hadn't seen before; when using just the players (3 x Classic, 1 x Duet, 1 x Touch). There appears to be a 30 character limit on my early tags. Now whether this is a common feature I don't know, but if accessing the music files on the server, the title/artist etc all appear complete, but on playing the files, Muso and the players only see the first 30 characters/spaces on those tags. I have now started to re-rip those early tracks. I have used dbpoweramp for a few years now and there does not appear to be the character limit on those tracks I ripped to MP3 and latterly Flac. The reason I hadn't noticed before, was because the music played correctly and I didn't regularly look at the player in use. Having Muso full screen, made the recurring errors easy to see and going back through my library has shown that early Media Player tracks had this limitation. I suspect I am not the only person who has suffered this problem. I hope this is of help to other users. To rectify the problem, requires a re-rip. I did try to amend the tags, but it didn't work. -- sachadog sachadog's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10564 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MUSO - Support Thread
This is almost certainly not a muso issue. That said, my guess is that you have in your music files both ID3v2 tags and ID3v1 tags. The latter have a limit on the length of the tag which the former do not have. To test/rectify use MP3Tag: 1. In MP3Tag settings (Mpeg) set MP3Tag to read/show all tag variants and to write ONLY ID3v2 tags and delete all tag types BUT ID3v2. Set MP3Tag to show a Tag column (I think it is there by default; the tag value should be "%_tag_read%[ (%_tag%)]"). 2. Add some mp3 files to MP3Tag (work on a copy of the files first just to see if it works) and see what the Tag column shows (probably both ID3v2.3 and ID3v1). 3. Select all files and first save all tags and the delete all tags. Now your music files should only contain the longer ID3v2 tags and the abbreviated version from the ID3v1 tags should never show up after a rescan in LMS and muso. Re-ripping with dBpoweramp to flac is always a good idea. -- vagskal 2 x SB3 (wired), Receiver (wired), Boom (wireless), Controller, iPeng on iPhone 4 & iPad, muso on remote computer running Win 7 64-bit | 7.1.2 on Win XP vagskal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20778 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MUSO - Support Thread
Hi, I realise this is not a Muso problem. In fact it was Muso that highlighted the problem for me. I have tried various ways to overcome this problem, but none seemed to work. I have therefore been undertaking re-rips of my earlier tracks, changing MP3s to Flac. I don't now use Media Player, for ripping tracks. I had been in personal contact with Jeremy (Muso) and the best solution we came up with was a re-rip. It's not a problem I had encountered until I started using Muso's functionality. I was more than happy,that the music was coming from my Squeezeboxes. It was only when it stared me in the face, with Muso's front-end capability, that I noticed this was what was happening. If this acts as a warning to other users then that's a bonus. I am nearly through re-ripping the affected tracks and tags, so my problem is almost solved. If anything this is praise for Muso.

Yes, having your music in flac is a good thing, and you get secure rips and good meta data from AMG with dBpoweramp. Although re-ripping can be a bit boring. I know since I have done it myself. (When ripping with dBpoweramp to flac you do not get ID3 tags that can have length limitations but Vorbis comments without such limitations that LMS/muso can read.) -- vagskal 2 x SB3 (wired), Receiver (wired), Boom (wireless), Controller, iPeng on iPhone 4 & iPad, muso on remote computer running Win 7 64-bit | 7.1.2 on Win XP vagskal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20778 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MUSO - Support Thread
Hi Vagskal, I have learned the hard way! When I started the library, some considerable time ago, I hadn't heard of dbpoweramp. Neither did I know much about MP3's or Flac. I knew about iPods etc, but the sound they produce wasn't to my liking! It sounded so compressed. I re-ripped my early library rips as they sounded flat in the standard rip setting of Media Player. I then went to the maximum setting in MP3 on Media Player and that sounded better, however, I also got error filled rips that weren't highlighted, by the program. Learning from my mistakes, I discovered dbpoweramp a few years ago and I am now ripping everything in Flac. I personally won't go back to Media Player for rips again. Muso is a very good program, and it gives a professional looking front-end to the equally good L.M.S. and because it's "in your face" it showed up the errors in my library. Still it keeps me off the streets! -- sachadog sachadog's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10564 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

1. Muso is not showing artwork in the Albums view (the view with all albums showing thumbnails) for an album named , where the latter part of the path to the album folder is "Justice\ (2007)". A small red X is shown instead of the artwork. In the Album page (showing just that album) the artwork is shown. 2. I cannot get muso to show artwork for my one album by the artist/album artist Goran Kajfe. In the Album view a generic CD image is shown and on the Album page for that album no artwork at all is shown. In both cases the artwork show up fine in LMS/iPeng. I have tried to clear artwork for those albums and then Find missing artwork.

It's almost definitely the funny characters yes. For caching the cover artwork muso normalises the artist and album name (so should be normalised to s) so I'm not sure why this album is having a problem. An album called probably cannot be normalised at all, so it might be that the browser has an issue with the name.

This is to prevent album view being swamped by non-albums or partial albums. It will also recognise it as a full album if your tracks have the "Track Count" attribute set to 3, or the total duration is more than the configured threshold. -- jezbo jezbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Ah the hell that is metadata. By the way there are other Squeezebox plugins that work with and use custom tags. That does not appear to be muso's main function. I like the approach that muso takes by getting and using information from last.fm and amazon. The ability to view the associated scans and text files is another great feature.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MUSO - Support Thread
Yes, the field PUBLISHER actually reads and writes the field ORGANIZATION in files tagged with Vorbis Comments. There are a small handful of tag mappings (three) for Vorbis Comments that are not documented. To see them, go to Tools > Options > Tags > Mapping. I wouldn't touch the two mappings of TRACK to TRACKNUMBER and YEAR to DATE, but you could probably delete the PUBLISHER to ORGANIZATION mapping from the table. Then, when you write PUBLISHER you'll actually be working with a field having the same name. As for whether that will work with MUSO (or your other music applications), you'll just have to try it. I wouldn't be surprised if one application expects the data in ORGANIZATION and another in PUBLISHER.

Here is the only "standard" I have heard of http://wiki.xiph.org/VorbisComment. If you support different comments for the same muso field, I think the standard field should win if there are conflicting values. The label/ORGANIZATION info should of course be visible on the album and now playing page. Should one album have different values, just pick one value to use for the entire album. I think some attributes do not need a browse by option, just to be visible in now playing and on a per album/track basis depending on the nature of the tag.

Currently synch with LMS and file scan (reading vorbis comments) are two separate processes. I can look to making a combined synch though. -- jezbo -- muso developer jezbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MUSO - Support Thread
what does the new version have in it? I took a look around, but missed it. Thanks, appreciate it. Btw, for now I left my FLAC tag of Organization at Organization. Copied my Orchestra to Ensemble, in case I need it - can easily delete one if need be. And left my soloists the way it is, maybe I need to copy that to performers for now to get it to show up in Muso.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MUSO - Support Thread
New versions are announced here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81685&page=99 FYI, Muso doesn't write edited database attributes back to the song file metadata, the database is considered private to muso - i.e. muso cannot be used as a tag editor. Muso does use the tag information to set up the database attributes initially on a file/folder scan, but not on a sych with LMS (it uses the LMS attributes from its database in this case). So, muso's next version will be reading SOLOIST or SOLOISTS ogg vorbis comments on a folder scan into the Performer field. -- jezbo -- muso developer jezbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

understood, cheers.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MUSO - Support Thread
There's no field in muso to put Label/Publisher yet - I can create the db field quickly enough, but to put this in the various views - plus perhaps a browse by Label option - will take a little longer. But that is in the plans. -- jezbo -- muso developer jezbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MUSO - Support Thread
Hi Jezbo, Would it be possible for Muso to remember the 'File Types' setting between restarts. I mostly use Muso with my FLAC library and I find I have to reset the file type to show only FLAC whenever I start it up.

I'm using the command line interface (CLI) rather than the full SDK, plus a bit of the Runcmd plugin (http://foosion.foobar2000.org/components/?id=runcmd). This is a one-way street - I can control just about all aspects of the player that I need to (playing, queueing, forward/back, volume control, etc), but I cannot receive status information (so it won't show Now Playing information in muso for example). The full SDK is going to take a LOT of work to be able to use it for full integration, it might remain out of scope for some time. However I'm hoping there will be enough functionality available via the CLI to still make this a useful feature. -- jezbo -- muso developer jezbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
