[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Force LMS to create 'relative' path Playlists ?
Is it possible to force LMS to create playlists that use 'relative' paths rather than 'absolute' paths? As a consequence of moving from the Synology NAS LMS 'package' to the Docker based image I can now not share my playlists with the Synology DS Audio application. On my Synology NAS, music is stored in '/volume1/Music/' The LMS Package for Synology would create playlists like: Code: #CURTRACK 0 #EXTM3U #EXTURL:file:///volume1/Music/The%20Angels/Beyond%20Salvation/01%20The%20Angels%20-%20Dogs%20Are%20Talking.mp3 #EXTINF:205,Dogs Are Talking /volume1/Music/The Angels/Beyond Salvation/01 The Angels - Dogs Are Talking.mp3 These playlists could be used as-is by both LMS and the Synology DS Audio application. But, now with the move to the Docker LMS image on the NAS, and the mapping of /volume1/Music to the container mount of /music, the playlists now get created as: Code: #CURTRACK 0 #EXTM3U #EXTURL:file:///music/The%20Angels/Beyond%20Salvation/01%20The%20Angels%20-%20Dogs%20Are%20Talking.mp3 #EXTINF:205,Dogs Are Talking /music/The Angels/Beyond Salvation/01 The Angels - Dogs Are Talking.mp3 This works OK for LMS (in Docker) - but the native Audio player on the Synology - DS Audio (which I use for external NAS Music access) can no longer use these playlists as "/music" doesn't exist on the NAS as it's the container mount point. If the playlists are created in relative path format (eg. ../The Angels) DS Audio all works fine. Is there a way to force LMS to create playlists using relative paths?

Stepping through installing individual plugins, and rescanning the music library I found the playlists would 'disappear' when I installed the "PlayHLS" plugin. (I can uninstall, rescan and the playlist contents reappear. Install/rescan the playlists show as 'empty') I'll track down on the PlayHLS thread to ensure I've got the latest version, and see if there is an issue. kidhazy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42259 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108532 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Well, I did an uninstall and a re-install and everything now works as it did before. All my old playlists work, the new ones that I'd created through all the testing also work. I'm not entirely sure what I'd done to stuff it up, but I'm putting it down to a re-install I'd done a couple of weeks ago. For what it's worth - with this install I've: - logged into NAS as builtin "admin" administrator userid - installed/configured LMSUpdate v8 package - disabled builtin "admin" userid. Rebooted NAS and done full-rescan in LMS just to check. Even with "admin" user disabled, LMS runs as "admin" and can still access all music and playlist contents.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS on Synology NAS Installation - user ID recommendations
Do people install LMS on their NAS's under a unique User ID, or use a standard user/admin user ID? Whilst I work out a possible permission issue with my playlists on me LMS installation on my Synology NAS I'm interested in suggested approaches. Previously I've just installed LMS after I logged in as "admin". But Synology security recommendations is to disable the well-known "admin" user id and create a unique administrator ID. There is also some discussions about using different user IDs for running 'service' type applications that are always running in the background - with the 'benefit' to control/lock-down what the processes can do. The discussions I've seen have been more focused around when running things inside Docker containers on the NAS. Any suggestions/recommendations or benefits either way?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Only new playlists work, after a rescan they appear empty
If I look at the Synology I see LMS is running as "admin" ps -ef |grep slimserver admin 9445 1 2 10:37 ?00:01:46 /usr/bin/perl /volume1/@appstore/SqueezeCenter/slimserver.pl --daemon .. The "admin" userid had -previously- been disabled (per security recommendations) but I had recently re-enabled it for some test - so it is enabled. I tried disabling/rebooting/rescanning, reenable/reboot/rescan but I still can't get the Playlists to work. I can't remember under which userid I had installed the original copy of LMS, or this re-installed copy, but it may have been under my own userid (which is an administrator). I may try a re-install as "admin" Even the new playlists I create via the web UI, they get created, and saved. But after a rescan the contents disappear. I turned on debug for all the scan options, and didn't see any permission issues. I did see the following "changing of content-type" for all the playlists - including the newly created one. I'm not sure if that's related.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Only new playlists work, after a rescan they appear empty
I've just stumbled into this same issue. I'm running LMS Version: 8.0.0 - 1590897266 on a Synology NAS where all my music is. I had to recently do a reinstall, so I'm not sure if I've mis-configured something during the reinstall (I can't remember testing the playlists at the time of the reinstall) m3u playlists that have been working for months, now appear as empty. I can create a new playlist, but when I rescan, it also appears as empty. I can't see any errors in scanner.log (see below) I've even tried to create a single line playlist (stays empty), and even copied the LMS created list (but after a rescan it shows as empty) This previous post talks about permission problems with the files, but I can't see anything in scanner.log, and I'm unsure what may have changed (or not been reconfigured).

I'd forgotten all about Library Views (haven't used it for years). But when I went back into Library Views and chose one of the views I created way back when, I was able to get a 'restricted' playlist view similar to what I'd been experiencing.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Playlists different on one particular player
I've got a setup with various players (Booms, Classics) throughout the house. On one of my Booms the list of playlists available is a subset of the ones that the others see. And the ones it does see only have a subset of the songs (not a particular set number). The playlists are imported from iTunes on the LMS server, and I can find and play the individual songs on the 'weird' Boom. The full playlists appear on the other Booms and other players throughout the house. I think I need to clear/delete something from the Boom config, but can't figure out what may be causing this strange playlist behaviour. Anyone know if there's a file/cache/config that is maintained for playlists on individual players?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Streaming radio - buffer display info what does it mean?
Thanks bpa for the extra information and suggestions. I'd already tried the maximum buffer size of 30 seconds without any success. I tried the "proxied" stream player option last night and things seemed to be working smoother (no re-buffers and buffer numbers appeared 'higher', eg 3200 KB / 10.0 whereas when I'd have problems the first number would be down around 2 KB and the 2nd would be down around 2.0 and eventually drop requiring rebuffering). However, when I switch the player back to direct I still didn't get any rebuffering, though the buffer 'numbers' were a bit 'lower'. I'll continue to test during various times of the day/night with the proxied option to see what happens. As an aside - I just learnt Pandora is leaving Australia. After 31 July we "will no longer be able to access the Pandora app or website". I wonder what this will do to the streaming via LMS ?

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Streaming radio - buffer display info what does it mean?
I'm diagnosing some streaming radio re-buffering issues (I believe the problem is with my Internet provider as it's occurring on wired and wireless Booms, Classics). To help, I've turned on the "Buffer" display on the now-playing Music Information Screen on my Booms. I just wanted to confirm what the numbers that are displayed mean: I see a display similar to: 283KB / 9.5 (or more typically 1KB / 2.0 when it's getting bad) I assume the first number is the connection speed? Is it from the server to the streaming service, or player to the service? The 2nd number I thought was the buffer full %, but the highest it goes is 10.0 (even when I max out the Radio Station buffer to 30 seconds) Finally, any additional tips to improve radio streaming performance in general. My issues appear to be with international stations (eg. Deezer, Pandora) as local stations are not too bad (leading me to think the issue is more my ISP than LMS/Boom related) I'm running LMS V7.9.1 - 1499900819 kidhazy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42259 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107744 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
