Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] TIDAL: Tracks of an artist cannot be played on Radio or using Controller
Hm, it seems to work occasionally when using the controller, but I have no clue what would cause it to. Tracks of "Scissor Sisters" consistently refuse to be played. scaleo home server 2105 & picoreplayer 6.1.0 | logitech media server 8.3.0 | server power control 20120716.103808 | transporter & duet & touch & boom & radio | rotel rc-995 & rmb-100 | nubert nuvero 140 mvordeme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22892 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114745 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] TIDAL: Tracks of an artist cannot be played on Radio or using Controller
I am not sure whether this is the right forum for this problem. I just hope it can be fixed on the server. I had a hard time pinning down when it works and when it doesn't, but I think I found it. There is no way to play all tracks (max 50) of an artist on TIDAL on "next generation" players. When you place the cursor on "Tracks" and press "play", the current play list is played, instead. When you open "Tracks" and press play, you end up with just one track in the play list, although the LMS is set to "play other songs in album or directory". On "old" players like the Boom, this works without problems. I actually think that pressing "play" on "Tracks" would be more intuitive.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Online Music Library Integration (Tidal) and Album Artists
There is one more odd thing about case sensitivity. If my spelling of an artist name differs from Tidal's only in case (e.g. ABBA or Stream of Passion), the LMS creates two different Artist entries for it, but the "Browse on Tidal" menu pick will come up with the same results for the two. So will Deezer's smart radio. Maybe the LMS's matching of artist names should be case insensitive for a more consistent result. (And yes, I'd like my spelling to take precedence over Tidal's.) scaleo home server 2105 & picoreplayer 6.1.0 | logitech media server 8.2.0 | server power control 20120716.103808 | transporter & duet & touch & boom & radio | rotel rc-995 & rmb-100 | nubert nuvero 140 mvordeme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22892 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113129 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Online Music Library Integration (Tidal) and Album Artists
Uploaded. I just noticed that Album Artists don't work quite like I would expect them to, anyway. Apart from online music, only album artists are listed, but under each of them, you will find albums to which they contributed along with their genuine albums. For example, under Johann Sebastian Bach, you find The Four Lute Suites along with two Various Artists releases (I need to fix that Emilie Autumn album ...). It kind of looks intentional because those albums are filtered views (with no obvious way to navigate to the full albums). scaleo home server 2105 | logitech media server 8.0.0 | server power control 20120716.103808 | transporter & duet & touch & boom & radio | rotel rc-995 & rmb-100 | nubert nuvero 140 mvordeme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22892 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113129 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Online Music Library Integration (Tidal) and Album Artists
Thanks for looking into this. As I said, I did not spend much time trying to understand what happened, so let me know if I can check things to help. mherger wrote: > "attempt to match" is asking for complaints. Because it'll never be > perfect. It will always fail for some. How would you split "Lady > Gaga/Ariana Grande" correctly? Or from your example "London Symphony > Orchestra"?I see your point. On second thoughts, the task might be a lot > easier for album artists only. My idea was to simply look for an exact match. Assume that I own an album by "The Beatles" which I have given the -albumartistsort- tag "Beatles, The" (actually from MusicBrainz). If there is more Beatles content in the online library, you could try to match the -albumartist- in my local library and merge the content retaining the local sort order. Just exact matches, no complicated algorithms. But I agree that it will never be pretty. scaleo home server 2105 | logitech media server 8.0.0 | server power control 20120716.103808 | transporter & duet & touch & boom & radio | rotel rc-995 & rmb-100 | nubert nuvero 140 mvordeme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22892 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113129 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Online Music Library Integration (Tidal) and Album Artists
Hi there, I like the idea of scanning the online library only once and adding everything to the library, but in my case, it all ends up in a big mess. What is supposed to happen, anyway? It looks like - favourite tracks are dropped, - favourite albums end up directly in the album list of an artist, - favourite artists get a special "browse on Tidal" menu pick, - favourite playlists end up in playlists. Right now, I have three problems with that: - All contributing artists of a favourite album are added to the album artists list. For example "Chess (The Original Recording)" adds a host of new album artists although it should just be listed under "Various Artists". - The sorting of the artists differs from the sorting in my local library. I have tagged all tracks with "albumartistsort" (= last name, first name), so the online library creates duplicate entries. This can probably not be fixed entirely, but one could attempt to match at least existing artists from the local library. - The library view containing only local music still lists all the online content. There is probably more, but I haven't given this much time, yet. Right now, the collection is too confusing to reveal any details. scaleo home server 2105 | logitech media server 8.0.0 | server power control 20120716.103808 | transporter & duet & touch & boom & radio | rotel rc-995 & rmb-100 | nubert nuvero 140 mvordeme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22892 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113129 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
