Thanks for the responses. I have never had issues with embedded artwork and OGG/Vorbis files. Are you sure that you are using Vorbis-tags and not ID3-tags? Because the latter is not recommended for OGG/Vorbis, although technically it sometimes will work. Talking about recommendations: CDex really is not a good idea to use for ripping these days, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDex for more info of the reasons. Besides the security issues, it is technically also substandard and will not guarantee bitperfect rips of your CDs. There are many better ripping tools available. *Living Room:* RPI2+HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* RPI2+HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Other rooms:* 6x SB Radio *LMS*: Version 8.1.x on Xubuntu 20.04LTS zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114619 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS rescan problems
Since using Xubuntu 18.04 I am having problems with rescanning my local music collection. Scanning via the gui using the 'Looking for new and changed media files' works fine. The option 'Clear library and rescan everything' however results in a hanging scan process or an incomplete scan result (sometimes the former, sometime the latter). When hanging I need to manually kill all LMS processes via the Linux command line, a prober restart of LMS doesn't solve the hanging scan process. When hanging server.log says: [18-10-27 00:14:10.9152] main::main (205) Starting Logitech Media Server scanner (v7.9.1, 1522157629, Fri Mar 30 12:25:29 CEST 2018) perl 5.026001 [18-10-27 00:14:11.1807] Slim::Schema::forceCommit (2149) Warning: Trying to commit transactions before DB is initialized!

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Logitech Media Server on Ubuntu 20.04
I plan to upgrade my Xubuntu 18.04LTS installations to 20.04 when the first point release is there, and my first impression when reading this thread is that it should be possible to install some compatibility packages to run applications / services with classic init scripts. Have you looked into this option? On a sidenote: in my opinion the time has come to seriously consider using LMS in a container when running it on regular Linux installations based upon Ubuntu f.e.. I know the community over here is already busy with it and although I know it is not ready for prime yet, I strongly think it is the way forward for LMS for that type of installations. *Living Room:* HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Kitchen:* SB Radio *Other rooms:* 4x SB Radio zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112185 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

A full LMS rescan on Ubuntu 18.04 has never worked on my machine either. There are few threads of this subject on this forum without a solution. I think it is a bug. When you have a 'hanging' full rescan you must kill all LMS processes manually behore restarting LMS. Aborting via the webgui of LMS doesn't work. My workaround for rescanning is choose the 'look for new and changed media files'. Hopefully it is solved after upgrade to version 20.04. *Living Room:* HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Kitchen:* SB Radio *Other rooms:* 4x SB Radio zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112205 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

I don't use custom start scripts, only a manually added line to /etc/rc.local because LMS is started before the network is up.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] File location of playlists
I have a perhaps simple question, but so far haven't found the solution: When creation a new playlist in LMS 7.9.3 the playlist m3u-file itself is apparently not saved in the configured playlist location, but somewhere else. Only my older playlists files (more than a year old) can be found in the configured location. When using the 'locate' command via linux CLI no file with the newly created playlist name is found. I only find several m3u files in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs/ with generated names, which seems the active playlists for the players in my house. So where can I find my new playlist-files? *Living Room:* HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Kitchen:* SB Radio *Other rooms:* 4x SB Radio zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113030 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

I always try to stick with the defaults, so I don't think there is a structural issue with LMS as described in github. The only problems I am having are old (and have been around for years): 1) Since Upstart and Systemd are used in Debian/Ubuntu, LMS by default is started before the network is up, which causes issues with thinks like online radio stations, Spotify etc. My /etc/rc.local workaround is fine, but not very nice. A structural solution would be better. 2) Full library rescan doesn't work since Ubuntu 18.04, it results in a hanging scan process. Incremental scans works fine, even with an empty database. For both issues several threads can be found on this forum without a proper solution. *Living Room:* HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Kitchen:* SB Radio *Other rooms:* 4x SB Radio zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112185 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

As upstart is not used anymore in Ubuntu in favor of systemd, the effort in solving this should indeed be put into a systemd unit file. As I am not a coder or scripter I was never able to solve it properly myself, so hopefully somebody can come up with something which can be incorporated in the official LMS packages. *Living Room:* HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Kitchen:* SB Radio *Other rooms:* 4x SB Radio zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112185 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS rescan problems
Because of a post in https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?112185-Logitech-Media-Server-on-Ubuntu-20-04/page3 I have resurrected this old thread and tested a full rescan on Xubuntu 20.04 last night. It still doesn't work here, the scan hangs after scanning the music files (is hanging for 12 hours now). Scanner.log and server.log doesn't give much info, but I can post it here if needed. Is logging with more detail possible? As posted earlier: an incremental scan works fine and is finished within a few minutes. *Living Room:* HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Kitchen:* SB Radio *Other rooms:* 4x SB Radio zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109660 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

That should not be the bottleneck.

The video/image scanner seems related to the uPnP/DLNA Media Interface plugin, which I have used in the past, but not anymore. It this plugin enabled by default/out of the box? One question remains of course: why does the incremental scan works fine? The root cause isn't found yet, but might be related to the plugin. *Living Room:* HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Kitchen:* SB Radio *Other rooms:* 4x SB Radio zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109660 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

A few years ago the official repos were closed down due to issues to maintain them. Personally I still miss the good-old Debian-repo because it was a perfect (and still preferable) way to integrate the updates within your os and package manager. The current approach is workable though. And when using Docker with a LMS container you are still able to use an automatic update mechanism with f.e.

I remember trying setting up a Debian repo/PPA for LMS myself, but simply didn't have the time to figure it all out. I think the same should be possible for Yum. It is all community effort over here, so the main constraint is time/resources from the members involved. *Living Room:* HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Other rooms:* 6x SB Radio *LMS*: Version 8.1.x on Xubuntu 20.04LTS zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113684 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

But what about the 7.8 branch? Currently I don't see a future for that branch. On most platforms -within one or two years- it simply won't work anymore is my expectation (same for 7.7 btw).
