[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Volume in classic UI changes although output fixed at 100%

2021-07-11 Thread psketch


Slightly odd one.  I have output fixed at 100% for a couple of my
players (PCP).  I usually use material skin, which hides the volume
control when it's set to 100%.  However, I was in the classic skin today
server:9000, and noticed that the displayed volume changes if I try and
change it.  The volume doesn't change, but the volume displayed does.

Running LMS 8.1.2.

You've entered 8.8.0, not 8.0.0

Hi Michael

Thanks for this really useful change.  I tried it with a few track
links, and they seem to work, but artists links on Tidal don't seem to
work.  For example, Amy Winehouse is 

https://tidal.com/browse/artist/15796

But it doesn't play anything.  Also, I wondered if there was a syntax on
that url to add shuffle so you could just do "play me all tracks from
this artist in a random order" just using the url.

Yes, I'm not sure how it builds it, but if you're listening to a track,
you can just just on Go To Artist, or just search for an Artist, and
then you can Copy Artist Link".  I think what it does is just create a
playlist of "Top Tracks" and that's what it plays.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Throwing in towel on LMS on Mac OS. Does it run OK on Windows 10 or is Linux better?

2020-12-21 Thread psketch


If you're running a Windows machine for other purposes, I'm sure you can
likely make LMS run just fine.  However, if you just want a simple LMS
box, small, low power consumption, incredibly reliable, regularly
community maintained etc., then I'm not why you'd look past running LMS
on picoreplayer.  The core team is brilliant, the hardware costs next to
nothing and everything just works.

I've got 7 Pi's running pcp, one of those running my LMS and also
serving a Boom and a Transporter.  Just love it.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Tidal hi-res through LMS 8.0 - bitrate limited to 44.1?

2021-01-05 Thread psketch


I've also made the change from Tidal to Qobuz because of hi-rez on Tidal
only being on MQA.  Basically, since MQA isn't, and likely won't, be
supported in almost all of our scenarios, it just seems Tidal's a
non-starter for us and qobuz is a better option.  Interested if anyone
has any different views of course.  I used soundiiz to copy all my
favourites and playlists across - worked a treat :-)

Tidal Masters are encoded with MQA, which requires a licence to decode
which LMS doesn't have.  However, playing a Masters recording on non-MQA
equipment will actually give you less quality than the non Masters
version due to the encoding process that's been applied - the bit that
non-MQA systems can read has been processed to work with the MQA
encoding, which we can't read.  So, the best you get from tidal with LMS
is the HiFi (CD quality) non-Masters recordings.  If you want > cd
quality, you need to look elsewhere.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Transporter Balanced audio output

2021-02-20 Thread psketch


I must admit I run my Transporter at 100% volume, just on the principal
that an extra digital volume control certainly won't make the sound
better.  However, don't forget there is a jumper in the transporter to
allow you to step down the output voltage.  Otherwise, I found the max
volume I could turn my pre-amp up to was only about 2/10, so fine
adjustments in volume were tricky.  Now, I don't know if that counts as
messing with the output, but it feels better than an extra volume
control in the chain somehow.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Dissapearing apps from My Apps

2017-09-25 Thread psketch

Hi All

I've got a weird one with My Apps.  Basically, different players see
different apps as being available in My Apps.  If I look at mysb, I have
a few apps selected (tidal, tunein, AbsoluteRadio), and then a few local
ones (e.g. BBC iPlayer).  Most of my players show all apps, but a couple
only show a couple in their MyApps when I look at their Menu (on an old
SB3) or using Soundicity with a piCorePlayer.  I have other pCPs that
work fine, and other players (transporter, duet) that work fine.  If I
use on of the missing apps (e.g. Tidal) through the web interface with
one of the affected players, it plays fine.  If I add a new app, it
shows up right away with the unaffected players, but doesn't show up at
all with the affected ones.

Using latest 7.9.0.

Any ideas?

Thanks Paul - I'll give it a try, but I hadn't seen anything where the
behaviour was different across different players in the same LMS, but
I'll give it a try and see.

Sadly, scratch that.  I'd recently upgraded to pcp 3.22 and hadn't
realised that it'd upgraded the server to 7.9.1 already.  So, it's no
better on 7.9 sadly.

Hi Michael - I wonder if the same problem applies to playlists -
recently noticed that not all of "My Playlists" show up from Tidal
either - same fix required perhaps?

Hi Michael

Only got a dozen or so playlists, as I've only recently started playing
with Tidal for its lossless support.  Whatever I do, I can only see the
first 3 I created.  I've just tried deleting one of these 3, which was
actually empty, but it still shows in the tidal app after an LMS
restart, so it looks it's just not scanning at all.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Can LMS listen on multiple interfaces

2017-10-21 Thread psketch

I think I know the answer to this one anyway, but ...  is there a way to
make LMS listen on multiple network interfaces - either physical or
virtual.  Seems not, but just wondered if there was a clever plugin out
there or the like.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Can LMS listen on multiple interfaces

2017-10-21 Thread psketch

Ah - interesting - not a straight no then.   So, as to why  I
have 3 subnets on my home LAN.  The LMS is in 192.168.3.x, whereas most
of the clients are on 192.168.1.x and there's various bits on 2.x.  1.x
and 2.x can both see 3.x, but 1.x can't see 2.x.  So, I can specify the
ip of the server fine from any client, but that doesn't work for LMS
discovery of course, but also doesn't work for DLNA as these are
multicast.  So, I wondered about creating multiple vlans on the LMS so
that there's a server in each of the subnets.

Could probably create vlans (i'm using PCP, so tinycore Linux) or
failing that I could add separate physical interfaces as well.  Anyone
know off the top of their heads where tinycore keeps it's interfaces
file?

Any thoughts?
