    No Extras Folder

    Hi
    I am trying to get Inguz working with my Squeezebox. I just want to see what difference DRC might make.
    I know it is no longer supported, and have gleaned much information regarding modifications etc. that need to be applied when updating LMS.
    I did manage to get it installed using Squeezebox Firmware 7.8.0_r16754 and LMS 8.2.0 but found I had a problem with the volume output level.
    I corrected this by uninstalling LMS, then reinstalling 7.7.6, updating to 8.2.0. via each release, but what I have found is that the 'Extras' folder is no longer displayed.

    Back to using LMS 7.7.6 from a fresh install and there is still no 'Extras' folder.
    Where should the default 'Extras' location be? Is it within another folder? How do I access it?
    Is there a preferred firmware LMS version I should be using? Logitech state that you cannot downgrade the Squeezebox firmware and do not support previous version downloads.

    Regards and thanks

      I can confirm Inguz is working with LMS 8.3.0 on Windows 7 x86 server; this on latest Community Firmware. If you are using Material Skin, go into "Settings" (CTRL+G) and enable display of the "Extras" menu.

        I'm having troubles getting InguzEQ to work. The EQ plugin is not selectable "not compatible with this version of LMS". LMS version is 8.3

          You may need to manually edit the INSTALL.XML file. The MAXVERSION should say:

          Code:
           <maxVersion>*</maxVersion>
          Be sure when you save it to keep the XML file extension. Restart server and, hopefully, it will be active.

          You will also need the information in this thread:


          If you want to skip to the solution, see post #27.

            I changed to: <maxVersion>9.33</maxVersion>.

            What do I do with: InguzReskin_v0.02.zip?

            Thanks!

              Unzip the file and I think the instructions are included. They are also in the thread I linked.

                Update for modern PCs and DRC

                Any chance anyone is working on an update for DRC in Windows LMS?
                New PCs don't even have IE and Silverlight. It's really outdated tech.
                I'm actually surprised nothing newer has come along.

                  Look at this thread...


                  Works with most Web Browsers - no Silverlight required but still based on Inguz. Read the whole thread but particularly from post #8 (user 'foxesden'). Post #27 has a link to the latest mods - the zip file only contains the file 'index.html'. If you already have Inguz installed and working, this is the only file that needs updating.

                  Also read this thread...


                  User 'foxesden' has rebuilt Inguz and provided instruction for installation.

                    How to verify that InguzEQ is active and processing?

                    Hi all,

                    I've got the revised InguzEQ installed and apparently activated.

                    I generated an impulse response file based upon my desired target EQ curve per the documented requirements (32 float wav) in REW.

                    Because the EQ adjustments are subtle, I need a log to verify that InguzEQ is doing its thing properly.

                    How would I go about producing it?

                    Thanks in advance,
                    Bill

                      Inguz EQ produces a log at "C:\ProgramData\InguzEQ\log.txt" in Windows. It will show you what is happening by track. Also note whether CLIPPING+ is present in which case you'll need to reduce gain in "C:\Program Files\Squeezebox\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\InguzDSP.exe.config".

                        I realise this is a somewhat flippant comment, but it has to be said:

                        If the EQ is subtle enough that you can't tell by listening, do you really need to know?
                        And in that case do you really need DRC?

                          Treble?

                          Hi all,

                          I've seeing the following in the log for InguzEQ, its logging level I've set to "Debug“:

                          (261) InguzEQ: jiveTopMenu
                          [22-10-11 05:27:19.5525] Plugins::InguzEQ::Plugin::debug (261) InguzEQ: 0=Bass
                          [22-10-11 05:27:19.5526] Plugins::InguzEQ::Plugin::debug (261) InguzEQ: 1=Treble
                          [22-10-11 05:27:19.5528] Plugins::InguzEQ::Plugin::debug (261) InguzEQ: F=Flatness
                          [22-10-11 05:27:19.5529] Plugins::InguzEQ::Plugin::debug (261) InguzEQ: L=Quietness
                          [22-10-11 05:27:19.5530] Plugins::InguzEQ::Plugin::debug (261) InguzEQ: B=Balance
                          [22-10-11 05:27:19.5531] Plugins::InguzEQ::Plugin::debug (261) InguzEQ: W=Width


                          What I'm concerned about is the Treble value set to "1" when Treble isn't an option on the control panel.

                          What gives?

                          Thanks in advance.

                            I think you asked this question in another thread. This logging relates to the Menu Display on JIVE and the numbering is a counter for the frequency being displayed. There are some default settings for 2 and 3 channel equalisers to set them to bass/treble or bass/mid/treble. It has nothing to do with the gain settings.

                              HE-AAC vs AAC LC

                              Hello,

                              I've a number of m4a files. Some are encoded as HE-AAC SBR and others as AAC LC. However, they all share the same file extension, that being *. m4a.

                              The latter have no problem being passed through the InguzEQ pipeline on the way to transcoding. However, the former does not.

                              It's especially perplexing since they all share the same file extension as I've mentioned already.

                              What information does anyone need to help me resolve the issue?

                              Thanks in advance.

                                Do both types of files play when InguzEQ not installed?
