Is there a difference between setting "output level is fixed at 100%"
and keeping "volume controls adjust outputs" with level at 100%? 

What's about Replay Gain? Same thing? Better not to use with digital
out?


I already did further testing. And yes; there is a difference if I
compare volume settings at 100 and 30%.
However, the balance between the DAC vs the turntable and the Dreambox
is not good. To keep the SB3 at 100%, I need to have the pre-amp between
7 and 8 o'clock.
Is this a solution between the DAC and the pre-amp?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Squeezebox Classic hanging consistently when trying to access Plugin

2018-06-24 Thread Michael Herger

That's the first time you report this. Did the same happen before? Would
those timestamps match the moments when you saw the "lockup"?

One more thought: would you see the same if you were using the web UI to
navigate to Spotty, rather than the SB's UI? Or on another SB? Or on a
mobile app?


To answer both your questions:


I see four question marks... what about the first two?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS pausing when streaming Spotty and LastFM

2018-06-24 Thread Michael Herger
Yes, LastMix uses Last.fm only to get information about the mix. For the 
actual playback it would use whatever track was available (local, or 
remote services such as Spotify, TIDAL, Deezer, Napster).


And yes, please try without the syncing.

And please check what streaming format you're using 
(Settings/Advanced/File formats). If it's PCM, then try FLAC instead, or 
even MP3 (just to rule out a wireless bandwidth issue).

Did the same happen before? 

No. This is why I think the "spotty.exe stopped working" might be
related to the "hold LEFT button" suggestion and that the crash might
have happened at the same time I saw the classic reboot.


Or on another SB?
The Classic SB is the only hardware SB I own.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Clicks between MP3 tracks

2018-06-24 Thread garym


The digital volume control is very good in LMS. Particularly when
playing 16/44.1 (CD quality), as LMS uses 24 bits to stream and has the
extra 8 bits (24 - 16) to use for volume control. Best to keep the LMS
volume at about 65-70% or higher.  ReplayGain is fine.  I use both
digital volume control and ReplayGain (I like "SmartGain in LMS
settings, as it uses album RG when playing entire album and track RG
when playing songs from different albums.).

Lots of discussion of this in the past. See, for example, this (and
concept relates to other SB players such as TOUCH too):

I am not understanding what I meant with " ... LMS uses 24bits to stream
...".
In my case I am streaming native mp3 and flac files in 16/44.1 quality
to SB3. SB3 is converting to PCM. I assume PCM 16/44.1
When I let LMS convert to PCM it is a 1411 kb/s stream reflecting
16/44.1 
At which stage comes the above in effect?

even with 16/44.1 files, LMS streams those files in 24/44.1.

Michael - PCM is disabled wherever possible. Also, I do not havean MP3
converter (LAME) on my system, so I assume MP3 is also disabled.

Paul & Michael - I completely disconnected the second player after
un-synchronising. Problem has gone. Played for 4 hours without an issue,
mix of Spotify and my library, no issues. Reconnected 2nd player and
again no issues. Played for 2 hours, then synced the 2nd to the 1st.
Played another 2 hours without a problem. The system is now set exactly
as it was when the problem was happening, but by completely removing the
second synced player and then reintroducing it the problem has been
fixed. Interesting!

Cheers, David

2018-06-24 Thread paul-


Synchronizing is not a perfect science.

If the hardware is not identical, problems are worse..even if they
are the same, clock rates of the two devices are never identical.  This
causes them to get out of sync.

Take a look at the synchronize settings on the players tab in the LMS
settings.  Adjusting these can help.

Hi Paul, "refreshing" the synced connection seemed to be the fix, thanks
for your help on it. From memory it was the same solution last time, but
of course it had gone out of my head when it happened this time! Just
for information, both players are supposedly identical SBTs and the sync
settings are identical. Not a big problem as long as I remember the fix
for next time :o

Cheers, David.

Thank you for your suggestion dasmueller. However every flac files in my
