This worked for me on Catalina 10:15:5 - definitelyI required a restart in order for the permissions to perl and bash to kick in.

Xcode can also be installed through the App Store application. Open the Terminal.app (found in Applications -> Utilities) and copy & paste the command below into it (then press the 'return' key): curl -L http://xrl.us/installperlosx | bash Once this is finished (it takes several minutes), quit the Terminal app. 4) GIVE PERMISSIONS TO PERL AND BASH Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Full Disk Access, and unlock the settings.

Yipee! I had attempted this but it didn't work when inputting artist "Adam Holmes, The Embers" (as seen in Spotify) or just "Adam Holmes" so I tried inputting the album and also tried another artist and they worked. Now know what I have to do. Thanks again and I've just made donation, cheers.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS 8 with large media collection
* Is LMS able/designed to manage this amount of media files at all? Designed? I doubt it. Will it work? I'd say yes. I haven't seen an installation big as yours, but we know there are installations of 600k+ tracks out there. Make sure you have plenty of RAM and a fast disk system for the database available. * Is it feasable to have LMS operaing on a read-only NFS mount (across Gigabit Ethernet) instead of local files? Yes * LMS appears to scan the media file tags only. Is there a possibility of instructing the scanner to derive performer, album & track names from file names and paths instead? LMS would prefer tags, but can fall back to path schemas like /ARTIST/ALBUM/TRACKNUM - TITLE to guess the information. But I'd strongly recommend you try to get the tags done. If the files are well named and organized it should easy to translate this into tags. * LMS displays paginated lists in the Web UI. For long lists (~15000 entries), this is a royal pain in the behind. Are there any UI updates that improve/fix this? There are 3rd party solutions which might be more suitable. * Playlist management: Do I see it correctly that playlists can be externally written to some playlist folder that is configurable in LMS, but each change requires a subsequent rescan of this playlist folder? Is there no easy way/interface for writing the changes directly to the corresponding SQLite DB (library.db, if I see it correctly)? You can talk to LMS over a simple socket connection or JSON/RPC. This gives you a lot of control over LMS' behaviour (see http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Logitech/slimserver/public/7.9/HTML/EN/html/docs/cli-api.html). One of those commands would allow you to add/remove/move items in a playlist (http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Logitech/slimserver/public/7.9/HTML/EN/html/docs/cli-api.html#playlists%20edit). -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Genres, random playlist and extended characters - issue?
Hello, I think I found a little issue. When I browse my library by genre, then click on the "M" (more) icon next to the genre, I get two options: - Random Mix Genre Songs - Random mix Genre Albums (At my home, the LMS interface is displayed in French. I am not sure of the English translations that I mentioned here.) In general, the playlists generated by selecting one of these two options correctly use the selected genre. However, if the genre name contains an extended character, the generated playlist does not use the selected genre. (That's the issue.) For example, with the genres "chanson française" or "flûte" this does not work. Obviously, when using Material Skin, I have the same behavior. But, with Material Skin, when I click on a genre (without going through the "more" menu) I have an additional option "random albums". This option, unlike the previous two, gives the expected result, even when the genre contains an extended character. FYI, I'm using the latest version of LMS 7.9.3.
