@mncroc LMS (Logitech Media Server / Squeezebox server / Lyrion....) keeps it nice & concise (albeit you have to access the information via the 'Settings' webpage):

Library Statistics
Total Tracks: 26,106
Total Albums: 2,399
Total Artists: 5,197
Total Genres: 93
Total Playlists: 0
Total Playing Time: 1987:20:05

It does also have a rather splendid plugin 'Visual Statistics' that tells you pretty much anything you might care to know about your collection.

But, hey, this is all about SMP - and I love it!

It's not possible to seek a live stream

There are several issues with the Spotify support in release 1.1.1, so I've been working on fixing those.

The blocking of the GUI when switching songs is fixed. Streaming being limited to 128kbps is fixed. The favorites and search results returning too many artists and albums is fixed.

However, today I notice that Spotify's authentication for the actual streaming is no longer working, there is some discussion here:
https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/1308
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs/-/issues/203
Hopefully it will be resolved, and then possible to provide a access token to gstreamer so we do not have to provide additional login for the actual streaming too.

@jonas said in artist info by Wikipedia:

One problem is that the Wikipedia API returns everything related to a specific search, not just artists. So I consider the Wikipedia API not the be good enough for our use-case.

What about using MusicBrainz's API instead? Their artist data seems to be derived from Wikipedia as well.

Still hoping for this feature to be added. Literally every other UPnP/DLNA client has this functionality.

@tagomago I'll check it out, thank you!

@xmetal said in Add Ubuntu 24.04 Noble support via an "official" DEB:

to be clear I said "official" deb since release DEBs I see have the base name in them... that is the only reason i said it that way

So is there an unofficial deb that works floating around anywhere. On a vanilla 24.04 Ubuntu I am getting an error during install which stops it.

The following packages have unmet dependencies: strawberry : Depends: libicu72 (>= 72.1~rc-1~) but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

@adityasubathu I believe the file name filter includes the complete path. At least it works for me like that.
