Why cant you call a favourite from the CLI if its in a folder? Are you sure? Have you tried?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS does not show artwork from radio stream when using playlists
The issues is probably (I have analysed the streams). - 1.FM does not include metadata in the stream so metadata is being supplied by Tune-in (aka Radiotime). LMS detects when a Radiotime stream is being played by the top level playlist URL (i.e. opml.radiotime.com ...) and then the RadioTime plugin fetches the metadata. I suspect (but needs to be checked) when you put the the Radiotime URL within another playlist - it is no longer the top playlist and so plugin may not be activated (it looks for a radiotime.com or tunein.com URL to be playing). The "bug" may be a limitation of LMS. For playing URL (1.FM urL) within a playlist (opml.radio.com) within a playlist (your playlist with multiple URLs) - there can be only one top URL - having nested "top" URLs may be too complicated to manage. To test - you should confirms the URL that is in your playlist si the onme liust in your 1st post. You could try enabling logging for plugin.radio and maybe formats.metadata bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117286 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

A playlist plays items in sequence. You are treating it as a collection of favourites. Why should the developers (Michael) code for an unintended use when favourites does exactly what you want - albeit you might have to manually create them if you want a station in 2 or more places? Im sure Michael has a long list of development ideas that would rank ahead of this.

Hi Jim (d6jg) - I disagree on the bizarre comment, I actually thought it would be great if it worked (back when I tried it). In a way, it could be thought of as a list of presets. Let's say you have 50 stations of all genres, in a folder structure. You want to create a playlist of your 5 favorite "active" or "mellow" stations (which might be on different branches of the folder structure), create those playlists, load them, and choose between the stations.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS does not show artwork from radio stream when using playlists
Well, I see no reason to change the display of the currently played station (i.e. artwork, title, artist) just because I'm browsing the playlists. I also see no reason to display different data for the same station depending from where it was started playing. I can't use folders as it is not possible to load such folder as a playlist via CLI. I really don't see a reason why not to put radio stations in a playlist so you can easily change them through the playlist with the PREV/NEXT buttons. funa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23487 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117286 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS does not show artwork from radio stream when using playlists
With respect your use case is a bit bizarre. Playlists are intended as just that not as a means of categorising Radio stations. I doubt the developers ever thought anyone would do this hence when playing the item it displays the associated artwork of the base entry. If you want to group Radio stations together create some folders inside Favourites.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Can't turn media scanner off
I have a problem where despite my settings, the LMS media scanner will run. I had originally set it to scan at 4am but it would still scan at random times of the day, so I tried turning it off completely but it still scans at least once a day at seemingly random times. The scan completes but it takes about 25minutes and kills anything playing for the duration of the scan. I'm currently running 8.3.1 but this has been a problem even with the more recent 7.x versions.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Tidal and Library Scanning
Hi Whenever a scan of my music library scan happens (e.g. after a server restart due to plugin update) integration with my Tidal library is lost: the 300+ albums are not detected. However Artists and Playlists are retained. This is usually fixed by performing an "Only rescan online music library" scan. I have the Online Music Library plugin configured with "Tidal - Integrate online library and automatically check for changes" and also "Advanced genre replacement" set for my online library. I am running LMS Version: 8.3.1 - 1670824772 @ Mon Dec 12 07:21:54 CET 2022 in a docker container. Any ideas how to stop losing my online library without a 2nd scan?

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS does not show artwork from radio stream when using playlists
Hello, I experience a very strange and annoying issue with Logitech Media Server. Using version 8.3.1. The issue is with CLI and web interface. I'll describe it using the web interface. The problem is that LMS does not show song artwork and artist/title info as sent by the stream when the station is played from a playlist. I'm using playlists to group similar stations together. Using this radio station for testing: 1.FM Classic Rock http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s116726=aac,ogg,mp3,wmpro,wma,wmvoice,hls=16=5cb2c26d64f04c89f1b4c05e6357be69 When the radio station is saved as a favorite and played from the favorite list the artwork, artist and the title are correctly displayed - see screenshot lms-1. Code: /imageproxy/http%3A%2F%2Fcdn-albums.tunein.com%2Fgn%2FDC79P2T6ZGg.jpg/image_500x500_p.jpg However, when the radio station is played from the playlist, instead of the current song artwork as sent by the stream, the station logo is shown: Code: https://cdn-radiotime-logos.tunein.com/s116726q.png It is even weirder as the display changes as soon as you start browsing playlists - you don't have to change anything. For example, when I navigate to the playlist where this radio is stored (e.g. *Home > Playlists > 5*) LMS changes the display of the currently played song - see screenshot lms-2. BTW the station name in the playlist is wrong - I can't change it, see not below. Of course, the same station url is stored in the Favorites and in the Playlist 5. And when I press play for this station in the playlist, the artist and the title get updated to the right data, however, the artwork remains station logo - see screenshot lms-3. Sometimes also the title and artist are not displayed properly. The title changes to "Title - Artist' format and artist shows the station name. To me this seems like a bug. As a side note there is another issue. It is impossible to edit station name in the playlist. When I click on the Edit icon the fields for name and url are displayed, however, the name is not saved. +---+ |Filename: lms-3.png| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=39558| +---+ I love 'John Lennon Music' (http://johnlennonmusic.net/) funa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23487 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117286 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
