I finally got the latest (11/20) update to run by disabling several
third party plugins (title switcher, trackstat and trackstat playlist -
most likely these plugins haven't been updated in awhile) since I either
don't use them or haven't used them in quite some time.

Thanks again for your help!

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Latest LMS nightly (10-19-18) not working - port 9000 error

2018-10-22 Thread ralphpnj


After upgrading to latest LMS using the LMS control panel I am receiving
a "cannot connect to server on port 9000" error on the "diagnostics" tab
of LMS control panel.

The upgrade causing problem: LogitechMediaServer-7.9.2-1539967036.exe
(also the previous nightly from 10-9-18 caused the same issue)

I reverted back to an earlier version of LMS, system information below:

Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.2 - 1533033975 @ Tue Jul 31 14:08:13
WEDT 2018
Hostname: LMServer
Server IP Address: 192.168.1.122
Server HTTP Port Number: 9000
Operating system: Windows 10 - EN - cp1252
Platform Architecture: 8664
Perl Version: 5.14.1 - MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
Audio::Scan: 0.95
IO::Socket::SSL: 2.024
Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.34_01 (sqlite 3.7.7.1)
Total Players Recognized: 8


I also double checked all the anti-virus and firewall setting and they
are all set to allow LMS full access to port 9000, etc.

Thanks in advance for looking into this issue.

I completely understand the situation which is why I don't want to cause
trouble. By the way, it's not just once but actually twice a year - once
at the DST change in the spring and then a second time at the time
change back to standard time in the fall.

Thank you Michael! i will forward as much information as I can via a PM.
Please understand that if the solution is not an easy one and would
require lots of time and effort then I can live with the twice a year
"clear and rescan". After all I've been dealing with this issue for over
ten years.

Both of these responses are equivalent to "LMS should not behave in this
manner", however, LMS is still behaving as I stated earlier.

Look I'm not trying to start a flame war or cause trouble but as I
stated every time I request to get this issue resolved a few exchanges
similar to the ones on this thread occur, nothing changes and LMS still
has the DST rescan issue.

So could everyone please just stop telling me that the DST rescan issue
should not happen and/or that the DST rescan issue has been resolved.
This time would someone be so kind as to fix the DST rescan issue.
Thanks!

Not as far as I know. I haven't tried to do a rescan since the latest
time change on March 11th, 2018 but as of the previous time change last
October the issue had not been resolved.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Daylight Saving Time rescan issue - again!!

2018-03-13 Thread ralphpnj

Well it's that time of year again when we move the clocks ahead one hour
for daylight saving time and performing a "look for new and media files"
rescan on LMS usually leads to scanner.exe believing that all of the
files in the media library have been changed (due to the one hour
difference).

My usual method of dealing with this issue has been to just clear the
library and do a full rescan (using the control panel).

I have raised this issue several times in the past only to be told "LMS
should not behave in this manner". This is not an acceptable response
since whether or not LMS should behave in this fashion, the fact remains
that LMS HAS INDEED behaved as I have stated above and continues to
behave in this manner.

Please tell me what information you might need about my LMS setup and I
will forward you that information.

And more importantly please fix this long standing issue.

Thanks!!

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LogitechMediaServer-7.9.1-1502118993.exe Not installing correctly

2017-08-08 Thread ralphpnj

Well the plot thickens...

After a reboot of the computer which runs LMS, LMS started and loaded
and all of my Squeezebox players are working just fine. However upon
opening the LMS control panel (as administrator) the Diagnostics tab
shows Port 9090 (CLI) as Failed but everything reports as Okay. And the
Information tab says "No status available..." Please note: I did not
make any changes what so ever to my anti-virus or firewall settings,
which had prior to this LMS update, allowed LMS to work just fine, i.e.
all diagnostics reported as "Okay".

And the strangeness continues...

The LMS web interface does not run on the host or any other networked
computer (the web interface had worked just fine). And neither does the
either of the two LMS front end programs that I use (moose and muso)
seem to be working. However iPeng is working just fine (thanks
Pippin!).

Any ideas as to what could be wrong, how to trouble shoot the problem
and, most importantly, how to fix this issue.

In any event I'm happy that my Squeezeboxen are all working agin.

Thanks for the quick response but this did NOT resolve the issues. The
old copy was not running and update was run with administrative
privileges and the exact same error keeps occurring. As I stated
earlier, the issue appears to be with the installer.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LogitechMediaServer-7.9.1-1502118993.exe Not installing correctly

2017-08-07 Thread ralphpnj

The latest nightly build (LogitechMediaServer-7.9.1-1502118993.exe) is
not installing correctly. I am getting two major errors that are
preventing LMS from installing and running:

First - the installer keeps saying that it cannot install file
squeezeboxcp.exe - retry does nothing and ignore leaves LMS unable to
start

Second - the installer keeps saying that it cannot install file
squeezetray.exe - retry does nothing and ignore leaves LMS unable to
start

In both cases the installer states that the file already exists and
deleting both files before running the installer only creates the exact
same problem.

Help! Please!

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS 7.9.0 - 1477086729 on Windows 10 - stops

LMS was running and I used muso to select an album to play. The album
began playing and then after about 30 seconds LMS stopped. I restarted
LMS and this is the server log file:

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS 7.9.0 - 1477086729 on Windows 10 - stops

2016-10-28 Thread ralphpnj

This week I upgraded to the latest nightly build of LMS and there
appears to be a bug. So far I've been able to isolate what I believe to
be the problem however I would like more guidance so that the bug can be
properly identified and hopefully corrected.

Here is what I believe is causing the problem:

LMS is running on a dedicated Windows 10 desktop with the music files
stored on two USB drives. Note: I have been LMS for almost 10 years on
this type of set up and have never experienced this issue.

I use several third party programs to view my music library and control
LMS from several other computers in my house. I use moose (version 0.77
- no longer supported but still working) for its fast library search
ability and for simple LMS control. I also use muso (version 2.5.27 -
very well supported) for its beautiful music library interface and for
simple LMS control. In addition I use iPeng on both my iPad Air and
iPhone 6 plus.

What happens is that ever since I upgraded LMS to the latest nightly
build every time I use either moose or muso to select an item to play,
as in add the item to the playlist, either as a new playlist or appended
to the current playlist, LMS stops. Please note that LMS stops when
using any computer running either moose or muso and that the "pause",
"stop", "play", "skip" controls on both moose and muso appear to work
fine. Also this problem does not occur when using the Squeezebox remote,
LMS web control, the Squeezebox Controller or iPeng to select an item to
add to the playlist, either as a new playlist or appended to the current
playlist.

I would like run some diagnostics to assist in correcting this problem
and would like to know how best to do this. Specifically:

what actions should I try to reproduce
what log setting to use
and what log files to post.

Thanks!!

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Should I update LMS 7.9 nightly to LMS 7.9 "official"?

2016-10-22 Thread ralphpnj

I haven't seen this question posted so here goes:

I am running LMS 7.9 and recently, as in for the past few weeks, I have
been getting this message on the LMS web interface home page - "A  new
version of Logitech Media Server is available. (Click here)". Please
note that I have been running various nightly builds of LMS 7.9 for well
over a year and until this message appeared no new version of LMS was
available since the official version of LMS appeared to be 7.8.

Clicking on the update message opens a "Software Updates" web page which
says this:

>>An updated version of Logitech Media Server is available and ready to
install.
A new version of Logitech Media Server is available.
Latest Changes (all changes)

2016-10-21
• Merge pull request #118 from danielvijge/perl-5.20-armel-modules

So my question is this:

Should I update my version of LMS (Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.0
- 1474277583 @ Mon Sep 26 04:05:40 CUT 2016) to the new version.

Yeah I know that LMS is pretty old but that version runs very nicely on
my computer and I not sure that newer version would offer any worthwhile
changes or enhancements. 

Under normal circumstances Edge works fine. i believe that it was
because I left it open for extended time that the memory issue arose.
And yes, I also don't like Edge and use Firefox on all my other
computers.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Microsoft Edge memory leak and LMS

2016-09-18 Thread ralphpnj

I run LMS on a dedicated desktop computer (information given below) and
yesterday I experienced a very strange and distressing problem. I was in
the process of doing "find new music" rescan and opened the LMS web
browser interface on the dedicated computer that runs LMS to check on
the progress of the rescan. Microsoft Edge was the browser that was
opened and I left the browser open with the LMS rescan progress page
showing. The rescan finished and everything seemed fine however the next
day I noticed that LMS was behaving strangely, e.g. running slowly,
rebuffering, etc., so I opened task manager to see what might be causing
the problem. I then discovered that a Microsoft Edge sub-process was
using almost all of the available RAM on the computer. I tried to close
both Edge and the sub-process but to no avail. After doing a hard reboot
and getting LMS running once again I then discovered that many of the
LMS preferences were either missing, incorrect or corrupt.

A few questions:

1) Is anyone aware of the memory leak issue with Microsoft Edge? And if
so was the leak caused by Edge, LMS or a combination of the two?

2) Is there a backup copy of the LMS preference that I can use? And if
not, is there a way to make a backup of the LMS preferences for future
use?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes Michael it really does take about 24 to 36 hours for LMS to a
complete clear and rescan. 

About 8 hour for one drive, another 12 for the second, bigger drive and
another 12 hours to scan the cover art.

Here is the information on my server and music library:

Logitech Media Server Status

Total Albums: 42,009

99.99% of the music is encoded as flac with the remaining files mp3. All
cover art files are jpg, under 1mb and stored as a "cover.jpg" file in
the same folder as the audio files.

But really all this is off topic since it does not address the issue of
why a "look for new and changed mediafiles" rescan does not clear
deleted audio files from the library (aka database), which is
independent of the size of the library (aka database).

Agreed that is a solution but when, due the size of my music library, a
full clear library and rescan takes days rather than hours, this
"solution" doesn't work so well.

I think you misunderstood me:

I create a folder, call it "New Music Album" containing mp3s of the
songs on an album and "add" it to the LMS music library by doing a "look
for new and changed media files" rescan. The folder and the songs (as
mp3 files) are correctly added to the LMS music library.

I now create a new folder, also called "New Music Album" but this folder
contains flac files instead of mp3 files of the songs on the album. I
DELETE the "New Music Album" folder which contains the mp3 files and add
"New Music Album" that contains the flac files. I "add" this folder to
the LMS music library by doing a "look for new and changed media files"
rescan. The folder and the songs (as flac files) are correctly added to
the LMS music library.

So far so good, however the now deleted "New Music Album" of the mp3
files is still listed by LMS as being in the music library although the
folder and files have been deleted and rescanned. That is the problem.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] "look for new and changed media files" rescan issues

2016-02-13 Thread ralphpnj

For as long as I can remember doing a "look for new and changed media
files" rescan produces the following issue:

I have an album ripped as mp3 files scanned into my LMS library. I then
rerip the album as flac files and replace the mp3 files with the newly
ripped flac files, i.e. I delete the mp3 files and add the flac files,
and do a "look for new and changed media files" rescan. What I now get
in the LMS library is an album listing showing both the new flac files
and the deleted mp3 files. When I try to play the album LMS reports an
error since it can no longer find the deleted mp3 files.

A few questions:

1) Has anyone else experienced this issue/problem?

2) Is there any way short of doing a full "clear library and rescan
everything" scan to fix this issue/problem?

A related but slightly different issue is that when doing a "look for
new and changed media files" rescan LMS will keep rescanning the same
changed audio files over and over again with each rescan. In other
words, the first time the files are changed, such as renamed and
retagged, and a "look for new and changed media files" rescan is done
the files are rescanned as changed audio files but then when the next
"look for new and changed media files" rescan is done (without doing a
full clear library and rescan between the two "look for new and changed
media files" rescans) the same files are again listed as changed files
and rescanned with each rescan.

And again I ask the same two questions:

1) Has anyone else experienced this issue/problem?

2) Is there any way short of doing a full "clear library and rescan
everything" scan to fix this issue/problem?

As I said I believe that these two issues are related and possibly have
something to do with how SQLite manages the database.
