LMS on Windows: opus and vorbis transcoded to PCM end prematurely

[damazta]

No yet, sorry. Been busy with other stuff. Will try over the weekend! But thanks for picking this up so quickly. 👍

I enabled transcoding to PCM for opus and vorbis recently. After applying this hack to convert.conf (thanks to @mw9):
ogg pcm * *
# IFT:{START=trim %s}
[sox] -q -t ogg $FILE$ -t raw -c 2 -2 -s - $START$
so that 48kHz files will play at correct speed (opus is always 48kHz,...

Sure. Here's an example screenshot taken from the UI:

You'll see the path is... garbage, but everything else works as expected, so no issues as far as I'm concerned.

And attached is the log you requested, after I started playback of above track.

Just in case,...

It doesn't matter what browser or device or client (ie Android app) I use. It's always the same. You are correct: The WebUI and Player menus now diverge and are almost impossible to align. But I understand this is "by design" - and as long as I can get the menus I need on the top level, I'm...

[damazta]

I hear you.

I've used LMS for ... ever. And can't remember this behavior - which first showed up after I did a clean install on a new server. The WebUI used to follow the player menus exactly.

In any case, the behavior obviously changed by design. So I'll leave it at that....

3x Booms and 1x Transporter.

I reset one of the "offending" player's settings - and I got some of the menus back: but they are still off:

That being said, the menus I need ARE there... just not where they used to be / not according to my menu config.
So based on "if it works don't fix it"...

Folks, I just did a completely fresh install of 8.3.1. on a fresh Windows device.

Now I noticed that the menus I configure don't show up properly in the LMS UI. In fact, different players seem inconsistent even with the same menu setup. Odd is that the squeezeboxes DO follow the menu structure...

[damazta]

Apologies if this has been covered (I'm sure it has), but I can't find the exact answer I'm looking for.

I run LMS 8.3.1 on Windows 10, with UTF-8 support enabled. So LMS picks up non-latin tracks just fine and I can work with them on any UI I choose to interact with. So far so good....

[damazta]

Not sure if this is still an issue? Windows hid UTF-8 support deep away in the UI. Turning it on enables LMS to pick up non-latin characters as expected. (Windows considers LMS a "non-unicode" app, which needs explicit support for UTF-8)
Go to Settings -> Region -> Additional date,...

[damazta]

Confirmed. When enable UTF-8 support = enabled, LMS scans all non-latin tracks properly, but LMS control crashes silently on the splash screen. (Almost) Everything else seems to work as expected.
Turning UTF-8 support off causes all tracks with non-latin characters to drop out of the DB.
