Playlists don't seem to work.ĭo the playlists need to be exactly as LMS ones (with a count at the start), or will the basic standard format work, such as :

I couldn't get any drag and drop to work in the October version, but flacs do drag and drop in last night's version.

It is just the playlist that is new, and created from outside LMS because I can do things that LMS can't, such as create randomised playlists from a subset of flacs. ALl my files are fully tagged flacs in the database. I don't know what you mean when you write about 'untagged' files. Something with your Setup must be very strange.Īdding a new Playlist (take a your log) is only looking to playlists that "never" as the former scanned playlist or new from scratch.Ĭoverart & database "optimization" is always required when adding new files with coverart.ĭo you use untagged files and lms has to guess the tags? I used this (playlist) for speeding my rescan - it doesnt need several minutes just some seconds. Whilst I can do some of this with custom browse menus, and some of it with a UPnP tool called upplay and minimserver, I can't do all of what I want with one tool, so am developing my own.

It can then create a straight playlist, or randomise it (including randomising whole classical works). The idea is that the application can apply filters such as composer, genre, orchestra, samplerate (min and max), artists, rating range (custom scan), work and workartist (custom scan classical tags), and so on for almost all tag types. I have grabbed a copy of the LMS database and am developing a little database application of my own to create playlists, including randomised ones. What is a 'bmf' view? I did a quick google but nothing obvious came up. I can turn this off (but only for any rescan, not just the playlist one), but then it doesn't do a custom scan overnight, so I have to turn it back on before retiring, and I forget to do so and get very grumpy in the morning. However, my main problem is that it triggers 'custom scan' which takes 2 to 3 hours. "Scan playlist only" itself takes several minutes, because it does all sorts of other scans, including fulltext, database optimisation, cover art and so on.

Wonder if you can drop a playlist to the web UI and use the temporary file handling feature this way ? Or drag and drop them into the web UI ? You can now drag and drop files to the web UI for playback and the will not be added to the dB. Open temporary playlist with the bmf view. Hopefully Michael finds out that I'm wrong :) and some sort of solution with LMS 7.9 ability to handle temporary files can be used. Now you can select MinimServer inside the Lumin app to see all of your music.Would not a "scan playlist only" scan be acceptable ? If you intend to play it with LMS it must know of the playlist, scan it and add it to the dB afaik you are not using the actual playlist, but a database view created from the playlist when using LMS. Then point your iTunes library at the MinimServer content directory to let it scan your files. To use the Lumin app, you need a UPnP/DLNA server to direct those files at the X1. Under Music Library in our app, select Lumin X1 USB Server to browse and play those files. "You can copy music files to a USB thumb drive or HDD and connect directly to the X1's USB port. With LampizatOr you must add a DAC, with Lumin USB or network-attached storage. It's where the half-priced LampizatOr SuperKomputer reviewed just prior had played it far more yeoman though it added full server functionality via built-in storage whilst subtracting Lumin's converter from the equation. That signs off on the visual inspection and tech intro except to add that befitting the X1's elevated price, the external hewn-from-solid appearance was immaculate to cash in on expectations in these hifi luxury leagues of streaming DACs.
