Inguz EQ/DRC

[JohnB]

I need to think about this.

Which version of LMS are you using?

In the meantime I will update my W10 system with the latest LMS and retest my system to see whether I can replicate the problem.

[JohnB]

Just a thought - can you please confirm that the files

InguzDSP.exe
InguzDSP.exe.config
DSPUtil.dll

are all in the folder: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Squeezebox\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread"

together with sox.exe (, etc)

Hi JohnB-
Thanks again.
Just before I saw this post, I decided to remove/uninstall inguz and re-install. Before the re-install I also updated from LMS 7.91 to 7.92. It took me a couple of tries for the plugin to be accepted, but when it was all installed I did notice that all 3 of those files were there - and they had not been before.
It does seem to be working now. I purposely choose a 48k filter file in extras, as I knew almost any thing I played would need to be resampled. And as far as I can see in this log, it's working:

BTW, I am getting some CLIPPING notices in the log. How do I adjust the gain? I hope I don't need the Silverlight for that, because it isn't working.

Gain can be adjusted here:
C:\Program Files\Squeezebox\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\InguzDSP.exe.config

Glad that it is now working.

I think that the InguzDSP.exe, InguzDSP.exe.config, DSPUtil.dll files must have been originally been placed in the wrong folder.

It would be a good idea to check whether any of those are still present in the folder they were originally copied to and delete them.

Apesbrain has given details of how to adjust the gain. The file can be edited in, say, Notepad.

Internet Explorer & Silverlight

The Inguz browser interface is only functional with Internet Explorer and with Silverlight installed on the PC.

If Silverlight is installed and if there is an error message when accessing the Inguz options in Internet Explorer - check whether Silverlight is enabled in Internet Explorer.

Within IE, press Alt on the keyboard to reveal the menu bar with the Tools option.
Click on Tools
Select Toolbars and Extensions
"Show" will initially show "Currently loaded add-ons". Silverlight might not show up there
Change the "Show" to "All add-ons"
Scroll down to Silverlight and check whether it is enabled - change if necessary.

On my newly upgraded to W10 system I got the silverlight error message even though, when I checked, Silverlight was enabled.

However, the process of merely checking (as above) suddenly enabled Inguz to work in Internet Explorer and it still worked after rebooting and re-opening IE.

(Ideally the Inguz interface needs to be re-written, removing Silverlight and making it compatible with Chrome/Firefox but I don't have the skills to do that.)

Hi All,

Not sure if this is the right thread, but it's related to LMS8.

If anyone is using Inguz EQ, and is upgrading to LMS8, you will probably see that Inguz EQ gives the following Error in the "Plugins" settings

Inactive Plugins > EQ > Plugin is incompatible with this version of Logitech Media Server. Please update

To resolve this do the following:-
1. Edit the file ...\Squeezebox\server\Plugins\InguzEQ\install.xml, using something like notepad.
2. Change the entry <maxVersion>7.*</maxVersion> to <maxVersion>8.*</maxVersion>
3. Save the file, and then go back to the plugins setting and enable Inguz EQ
4. Restart LMS and EQ should now be enabled.

On a vortexbox, the path is /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/Plugins/InguzEQ .

[Apesbrain]

If possible, which config file do I edit to change the EQ center frequencies? Thanks.

[foxesden]

I am no expert, but I have been playing around with Inguz lately and the eq settings are stored in the Settings folder with file names ending in .conf.

I have used notepad++ to edit the settings. e.g. Here is a manual eq for my iLoud desktop monitors. I am still working this out myself, but hope it helps

Thanks. I've tried editing that file, but the changes don't "stick".

You're talking about the settings files in [%PROGRAMDATA%\InguzEQ\Settings], right?
