Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] A massive thanks to maintainers

[terryd]

And another "here here" from me.

I had not used LMS much since buying a couple of Booms and a
Transporter, I was happy streaming Radio Paradise and leaving it at
that, but when I found the forum and sat down one Saturday and spent
time getting everything set up I appreciated the software and the
plugins better.

I particularly use the FLAC playback as I have a trial subscription to
the Society of Sound. 

I really appreciate the efforts of the people who keep the programmes
and the add ins updated.

Thanks guys.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS suddenly stopped working

[Michael Herger]

I don't know. The errors you get are due to lack of collation
string. That string is based on the language you're using - but should
never be empty. You don't use a custom-strings file or something?


Not intentionally.  Is this something I could have started doing
unintentionally?


No, very unlikely. And certainly not without restarting LMS - and the 
errors start to show up quite a while after the last restart.



Are you using the UPnP funcitonality of LMS?


I don't think so...?  My two squeezeboxen (a duet receiver, and a radio)
have been set up manually.


Turn off Andy Grundmann's UPnP/DLNA plugin, not the bridge. And make 
sure you disable the images/videos from the music folder settings, then 
run a full wipe & rescan. And restart LMS.


It's probably just a red herring. But the call which is being logged is 
reported to come from the Settings/Information web page trying to show 
the number of images and movies found in your library. By disabling the 
UPnP plugin and image/video scanning this should no longer happen. It 
might only be a side-effect, but help with your situation anyway.


BTW: upon your next server restart the server.log file should be 
re-created, and the old one moved aside. Make sure you delete it 
(server.log.1), as you don't want to run out of disk space...

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Scanner does not avoid shortcut loops

[Michael Herger]

Developer andyg said in that old thread that "There is already some code
to deal with loops of shortcuts/symlinks". But it's not working even
with the most minimal test case I could think of: create two folders,
each containing a symlink to the other, and scan the parent folder.


Can you set logging options for scan.* to debug, re-run that minimum 
test scan, then upload the resulting scanner.log file?

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Scanner does not avoid shortcut loops

[mjb2016]

Much like forum user Richard Boyce 'asked about in 2009'
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?72472-Scanner-looping=496622=1#post496622),
my media library has gobs of Windows folder shortcuts which are causing
my scanning process to enter a loop, chasing the same shortcuts and
scanning the same folders over and over. This is in both 7.7.5 and a
7.9.0 build I downloaded today.

Unlike his situation, it is not a matter of folder contents being
modified after a successful scan. I can't even get to a point where the
whole library has been scanned. I cleaned the cache and chose "Clear
library and rescan everything" from the control panel, but it still gets
caught in the loop and I have to abort.

I looked and could not find if a bug report was ever filed. I only found
one from two years later, '16990'
(http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16990), which was closed as
a "works for me".

Developer andyg said in that old thread that "There is already some code
to deal with loops of shortcuts/symlinks". But it's not working even
with the most minimal test case I could think of: create two folders,
each containing a symlink to the other, and scan the parent folder.

Should I file a new bug report for this?

Ok, I clicked on "Settings", selected the the "Plugins" tab and
unchecked "UPnP/DLNA bridge", and then Apply and then let the LMS
restart when asked if it could.

Was that the correct way to disable it?

The music list that normally should have held the iTunes library was
still empty, and TIDAL plugin was gone, but the Spotify plugin had
playlists in it after a while (but now they are gone again).

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] problem with non-Latin characters

[Michael Herger]

Fixed already. My son found a post in another forum that gave a fix for
this issue, changed a variable in LMS and now we're good. The post was

Another (more elegant ;-)) solution would be to add --charset=utf8 to 
the set of startup options

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] A massive thanks to maintainers

[Ikabob]

I have what I believe to be a very nice sound system thanks to multiple
SB devices, a DAC and some nice older components. I am very fortunate. I
listen to music that sounds like the orchestra is right here in my room.
I'm also very thankful for Pippin and ipeng which makes pulling up great
music quite convenient. Also, thankful for Michael for his continued
diligence in maintaining things. Thankful, too, for this forum and all
the members who help one another. 
I, like so many others, am SO disappointed in Logitech for discontinuing
the SQUEEZEBOX devices. Very disappointed!

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] problem with non-Latin characters

[Bosconermal]

LMS and iPeng both are not displaying non-Latin characters correctly. I
have LMS 7.9 on FreeBSd, which has UTF-8 installed, so it ought to be
correct.

My son SSHed into the service and discovered the following

Your locale was detected as C, you may have problems with non-Latin
filenames.  Consider changing your LANG variable to the correct locale,

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS suddenly stopped working

[Michael Herger]

Is "NB" short for Norwegian Bokmal?

Yes.


But your LMS is set to EN?

Does it matter? It has been working until it suddenly started failing...?


I don't know. The errors you get are due to lack of collation string. 
That string is based on the language you're using - but should never be 
empty. You don't use a custom-strings file or something?



The file is 14MB so it's too big to post and too big to put into a gist
(I got a "dead bird" icon when I tried).


Feel free to put a compressed copy to my dropbox:

https://www.dropbox.com/request/T3RctyzGgNg0oFDubq6a


I've put the ending of the file in a gist:
 https://gist.github.com/steinarb/fa87cf6aaf7bcb7ff66a7efe6d21b7da


Are you using the UPnP funcitonality of LMS? Do you use it to access 
photos and movies? If not, make sure you disable the UPnP plugin and try 
again.
