I've split music by folder using the first letter of the artist's name then added each as an individual source:Īs recommended in the naming convention forum topic. I've also read that there has been a recent re-release of Elton John material remastered in 5.1 which is 'amazing' apparently - not heard it myself yet, but some of the discussion on how it was remixed is very interestingĪs an FYI, I've continued to duplicate and rename all my files using the recommended naming conventions. As I said, as long as I enjoy it, I will listen to it.īroadcast TV / Streamed TV shows is lost on me however, apart from Aussie Rules and Cricket. My wife is Chinese so I also can 'bop along' to Anita Miu when appropriate. I grew up on UK / Celtic Punk and New Romantics, 70's Glam Rock and listened to my parents LPs from the 50's / 60's (and my grandparents old 78's from the 30's and 40's when the size of the stylus could be mistaken for a knitting needle), and have grown into Blue Grass Country, Jazz, Opera and some of the Classics - Dwight Yoakam anyone? I was listening to 'Imagine' by John Lennon recently after a few years break, and the ability to shut your eyes and sense a visual image of him and the band in front of me was quite astounding. MCH Stereo can be fun, but the imagery from good stereo is hard to beat. I do prefer good stereo over all other formats - unless 5.1 is accompanied by visuals. In terms of music listening - I'm pretty much genre agnostic - as long as I enjoy it. ROON integration will make a huge difference when available - maybe that's what Zidoo are waiting for with release of MP7? Of course, the Neo S does not have access to Google Apps which is also a bit restrictive (but I'm OK with that if functionality is sound). Nothing seems to close that gap though - even music handling in KODI is a bit of an afterthought. Surely the database back-end / scraping / networking should be similar, accepting that the data structure is different - I'd 'love' a posterwall of album art to select music from, similar to how HT4/ KODI does it for Movies. It always intrigues me that music library management can't look / feel / function the same way that other media is handled. Interested in your thoughts / suggestions. I haven't tried not scanning Films / TV and only scanning music to see what happens, however whether this is successful or unsuccessful, it again points to a database issue. The option not to have the full folder structure accessible but 'unscanned' in Music Player app is frustrating effectively locking me out of the app. Using ZBMC for music play-back isn't ideal and using the file manager to select music to play doesn't give access to the full range of file playback. I assume a data-base error / memory leak causing the Bluetooth app stack to crash.Īs there are so few Neo S 'in the wild', I thought I'd flag the issue. I have also loaded ZBMC (19.1) and scanned everything without issue, pointing to a Music Player app problem. I initially assumed I had a dry joint on the board and that running the scan for so long to scan the music library was causing a Bluetooth issue, This error does NOT occur if I keep the unit on for 24hr+, so I ruled this out. I have been able to reproduce this 3+ times until I gave up with the Music Player app. I have to do a full factory reset losing all the many days worth of file scanning to make the crash notification 'go away'. Rebooting the unit takes an exceptional length of time and once completed either presents the usual menu and app crash notifications or, on one occasion' reverted to a 'command line interface' on the OLED display allowing for factory reset option selection. My normal response is - it crashed, OK - rescan, except I keep getting 'Bluetooth app' crash notifications, but only after a power cycle following the crash. I have 65K+ tracks scanned from LPs and CDs over many decades of music collection and listening.Īt some point, typically, when the Music Player app scans to around R - S - T - U - V in the file structure, it crashes and reverts to front screen. Music is set up in a structure along the lines of :Īll albums are scanned and tagged by MusicBrainz Picard. This all works well - no issues and only minor file tidy-ups for unmatched files. and Neo S is then set to use local information during its own scraping. I've got a number of sources on Synology NAS, split across Films in multiple folders by formats, TV series and music.įilms and TV are pre-scraped using TMM to create posters, folders NFO files etc. I'm on firmware V6.6.92, which is a big step-up from. and wanted to check if others where having the same problem or had other accommodations to recommend. However, I'm experiencing a reproducible crash in the Music Player app. I've just picked up a Neo S which I am very impressed with.
