Announce: Bliss DSTM mixer

[lpw156]

Thank you for that information. I'll try running bliss on my Windows machine. However, my music is on an external drive attached to my Pi4. Can I point the ini file to that networked folder?

Hi.

Did you find a solution to this or get an answer as I cannot get this to work?

Not sure what you are expecting. You can point the analyser at a shared folder, as the analyser does not care where the files are, as long as the are accessible locally. But that's to be expected, no? Also, I have updated the builds now to create an analyser build for arm64 (e.g. Pi4)

Thanks for the reply. Actually, that doesn't seem to work for me. I'd prefer to do the analysis on my Windows PC if possible as it's faster. However, I'm probably doing something wrong in terms of the config.ini - my Music is on PicoreLMS\LMSfiles\Music as a Mapped Network Drive on Windows with a Drive Letter (x).

On the config.ini I've added text as follows:

[Bliss]
music=\\PicoreLMS\LMSfiles\Music

On Bliss analyse - I get:

Looking for non-existent tracks: 0 etc for everything.

Can you help this grey matter challenged noob to sort?

Not sure what is wrong on your system, and I'm not really a Windows user. However I have installed the analyser on a Windows machine, and set my "music" path to a windows share (e.g. "music=\\Server\Folder") copied a single music file to this folder, and run the analyser. The output states:

Looking for non-existent tracks
Num non-existent tracks: 0
Looking for new files
Num new files: 1
Analysing new files

...and then the analysis works.

Have you tried using the drive letter for the music path?

Thanks. Yes, tried everything I know to get it to work. No luck I'm afraid. Probably something to do with how my PC/ Network is set up. Will give up for now as already spent way too long trying to get this to work.

On my system I have two copies of my library, one a portable HDD I plug in to my laptop and the other attached to my Raspberry Pi. I do the bliss analysis on the one attached to my laptop.

Thanks. I had already tried plugging my LMS External HDD directly into my PC & tried that as well. No luck, same result. Then I tried to analyse my local music files on my PC (both tried E:\Music) & (E:/Music)) directly after editing config.ini to point to this folder: Same result. I can't work out why it won't work for me. I'll have another careful read and see if I've missed something...
Thanks to all of you again for your help.

How did you run Bliss Analyzer on your Windows? In administrator mode or standard? I had a similar problem and in my case it didn't work as administrator but in the standard mode it worked as expected (or as hoped).
