Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Web UI: Can I get classical albums to sort differently than other albums?
I wish I could do pretty much the same thing with Compilation albums. Like you, I prefer most things sorted by ARTIST/YEAR/ALBUM, but having compilations sorted in year order is very nearly useless.

I have been working through that page and still not getting the result I would like. For simplicity, I only want a "Works by Composer" menu under Custom Browse with results in alpha order. If I understand how this works, it's not necessary to split my library into "Classical/Non-Classical" if I enable the "Limit upper levels to those with existing lower levels" switch. Only my classical files have the WORK tag. Getting that new menu to populate with data has been touch and go. It only worked once, and then I changed something and lost it. My template is below. If you see anything that I've done wrong, please let me know. Code: - - customscan_mixedtags - Works by Composer - 50 - 1 - COMPOSER - 0 - 0 - 0 - WORK - Works - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 Apesbrain's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=738 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109146 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

But you could build menus with Custom Browse as described 'here' (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Setup_browse_menu_for_classical_music). It's a bit of a hassle to retag all the files, but I think it's worth it.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Searching by Publisher field possible?

Thanks. This is possible. Configuring Erlands' Custom Scan to scan for "Publisher" should work. This plugin will scan the files for the specified tags after the regular scan, so you'll need to rescan the library after configuring Custom Scan. To see if the second scan is done you'll have to go to Settings / Plugins / Custom Scan ... Settings. If you want to browse publishers like artists, you'll also need Custom Browse and set it up 'accordingly' (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Setup_browse_menu_for_classical_music).

To resample everything to 96Khz, just select ONLY 96Khz as "Output sample rates (PCM)" in C-3PO and any of the "Target sample rate is" options. To resample to 96kHZ only material with sample rate greather than 96Kz, you could just inform LMS that your DAC could only play until that limit, setting max rate and -E option in squeezelite. If you preffer to use C-3PO, you could check i.e. 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000 Hz as "Output sample rates (PCM)" and choose the "Target sample rate is" options that better suite your needs. If using C-3PO, you could select "Output Bit-depth" and a right dithering option, usefull when downsampling/reducing the bit lenght. I advise you to stay with Very Hight Quality resampling and Linear phase, unless severe hw limitation, in that case try first to reduce the passband, any value > 900 is safe, but this is just my opinion, you better try yourself, at the end of the day, this is the real mission of C-3PO.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] downsampling files beyond 96/24 on the fly
It seems the C-3PO plugin seems to be able to do the things I want resampling on server site within LMS while preserving the ability to send PCM from LMS to pCP. https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?105309-C-3PO-plugin-a-trnscoding-helper=pcm+upsampling This might be an interesting option in case I would find to prefer PCM sonically against ALAC in my setup...

That's the post where I found his favourite upsampling setting. Meanwhile I tried using the above mentioned settings in pCP: max sample rate: "44100,48000,88200,96000" upsample setting: "E" Trying to play a 192/24 album resulted in "unsupported sample rate" error just as before. Only after I cleared the field "Restrict codec setting" (it was "pcm,alac,mp3" before) this album was then played nicely! The "restrict codec setting" with pcm at first place asks LMS to convert my ALAC files to PCM and send PCM; this obviously is not possible in conjunction with resampling. So basically the settings seem to do what I want now, as long as I generally accept ALAC to be send to pCP instead of PCM. I haven't compared if there is a difference in soundquality as for PCM vs. ALAC; I only know that some swear that it makes a difference whereas others don't. I'll have to check myself some time. Two things I am not sure about: 1. Where is the resampling now actually taking place? Is this within LMS on the server as intended or does it take place in the pCP client? 2. Where do I see which sample rate actually gets transferred from LMS server to pCP client? Probably all of that gets recorded in the logfiles of LMS and pCP? If so I'm a stupid Mac user, sorry how and where could I find and read them?
