I couldn't agree more!...

[garym]

I also use "specific port" 5901 and my LMS favorite always works with no change needed.

[garym]

Thanks for the fast turnaround on this marvelous piece of software!...

[garym]

yes, on a windows PC. Just tried Material on my iPhone, and all works just fine. So something related to running on my Windows 10 computer accessing Material via Firefox or Chrome....

[garym]

clear cache on web browser or on LMS (running on rPi)? I rebooted rPi running LMS and cleared cache on firefox browser. Also tried on Chrome as browser (which I never use for LMS access), and get spinning when clicking on YEARS. But all other items are very fast (genres, album artists, albums, e...

[garym]

Are you using the new Material skin plugin from today. Ver 3.1.3

[garym]

Same for me, never loads in Material but years work fine in default.

[garym]

same for me. the unknown one must be the SWYH address on the web somewhere........

[garym]

Just tried on my end, and SWYH working normally with my windows laptop and LMS running on rPi. So it is not a widespread SWYH failure. I'm in the Southeastern US.

[garym]

I agree that one can run the player and LMS on the same rPi, ASSUMING that one can locate the rPi near the DAC *and* with an ethernet connection (which I think is better for the LMS portion). But otherwise, nothing at all wrong with using one for LMS and one for player.

[garym]

Also, it is a factual thing that the USB implementation on the rPi3 and earlier *can* be problematic as it shares a path with power (or ethernet, can't recall). This issue was resolved with the rPi4B, making the USB connection independent. Many would argue that if using a USB DAC connected to an rPi,...

[garym]

Respectfully, this statement about rPi3 better for player because of power consumption is complete audiofool nonsense. Don't fall for it....

[garym]

Hmmm, good question. I would *think* the version compare doesn't survive a faculty reset (and recall, vaguely, that in installing community firmware it is suggested that one do a factory reset first). But it could also be true that new versions of LMS, 8.x.x resolve the problem automatically. But...

[garym]

Agree with Jim. I had to do the version fix years ago, but wiped all that out with a factory reset when I installed the new community firmware. Version fix not needed when running community firmware....

[garym]

Exactly, I have a handful of 24/192 files, and LMS automatically downconverts such files to 24/96 (in a good way) without any intervention from me and they play nicely on my Transporter. But you can use squeezelite on an rPi instead of the transporter to feed the DAC, and this can easily play 24/192,...

[garym]

Same for me. One album only. And looking at all the tags in both mp3tag and foobar2000, I see no tag field differences that could trigger LMS treating it differently. It's a mystery!!!...

[garym]

Two complete tracks from an album would be best, with one of the tracks showing up as album1 and the other track showing up as album2. album1 and album2 being the two split albums. We are wanting to examine the actual files in order to look for tagging or other issues that might be driving this. ...

[garym]

Every split album I’ve had has ultimately been caused by a tag difference. Some are quite subtle. I use mp3tag (similar in power to Picard), and I have to look at “extended tags” to even see some of the tags. In some cases, because of some retagging, or reripping just a subset of tracks at the...

[garym]

Yep, 2.5 drive. Agree that full size wouldn’t likely work without a separate power supply....

[garym]

Just noting that I use an rPi4B running LMS with an attached HDD. The attached HDD is a 4TB portable USB drive (spinning disk), holding about 130,000, mostly FLAC tracks. My drives are formated NTFS. I don't have to use separate power for the USB drive (the HDD gets its power from the rPi, though...
