Anyone using Paul's Maestro Music management system?

Excellent. Yes, 318 appears to be a winner.

Welcome!

OK, glad to hear, I will assume this applies to Mac as well - been a while so will start again from scratch and download Maestro to my Mini… looking forward to it.

Unable to reach server for some reason. Unable to download the app… no VPN engaged and other sites working as per.

Had to use Safari.. Brave browser a no go. Reading files as I type…

sometimes I am just typing to myself on here.

Maestro is perpetually ‘reconnecting’ and doesn’t generate sound…but it does access my music

Yes. Same here. Sound stops often or no sound on next song or shows Reconnecting… and all Network players are lost.

Back to 280 for me!

I’ve got your log, Carlo, and it tells the story: on 319 the app is trying to serve music to your players from a port Windows Firewall doesn’t let through, and the network scan is going out one of your VPN adapters instead of your LAN. Both are mine. 280 works for you because it didn’t have the second process that causes the port conflict. Stay on 280 for now; I’ll post here when the fix is out. Anyone else seeing players vanish on 319 on Windows: Help → Save Logs to Desktop and send me the file — the more of these I have, the faster this goes.

I downloaded latest version last night for Mac. It took a couple of tries to get music playing (had to quit several times) Today I launch and it wont let me sign in. relaunched and it seems to work.

I guess there isn’t yet a way to search for specific tracks, just artists and albums?

Glad that resolved for you. Been working on cleaning up some of the token refresh items that make it quirky.

You can search for tracks. Type in the search box and the results come back in sections — Artists, Albums, and Tracks — the Tracks section is below the first two, so scroll if the album results push it down. Playing from there queues just that track.

Hi Paul

i have a few days problems with direct usb audio there is hugh delay or not playing at all, through system audio it works very well

Usb dac is in local audio outputs and under usb-dac

I am on a mac mini m4 newest os

Welcome!

Thanks for giving Maestro a try. Easiest way forward is to fill out a support ticket and I will receive it and get her figured out for you, or you can email me directly if you prefer but then you’ll need to download a log through the help menu at the top.

Hi Paul

I did it a few days ago with log and afterwards (from today) a photo of the screen with the devices
It’s from jayzee0710@gmail.com

Found it. Sorry about that! Just replied to you.

Thanks Paul!!!

It works again :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

That’s wonderful!!!

Thanks for the reply but searching in the topmost area doesn’t return any tracks (or albums/artists) from my local collection. Just Qobuz previews. I wish I could delete Qoboz completely since I don’t subscribe.

Once I click on my local files section and choose Albums or Artists, and search, then no individual tracks appear.

Also some folders of WAV files show as an album, but no tracks appear.

You’re right and I answered the wrong question — what I described is Qobuz search. The search box at the top doesn’t look in your local collection today, and the search inside the local library pages finds albums and artists but not individual tracks. Both are gaps, not settings; I’m on them.

The WAV folders showing as albums with nothing inside is a third thing, and it’s the one I want your help with: those files’ tags probably aren’t being read, so the album gets a tile and no tracks. If you’d send me the log (Settings → Export Logs) after opening one of those empty albums, it’ll show me which reader is failing.

On hiding Qobuz entirely when you don’t subscribe — noted, and it’s a reasonable ask. I’ll think about how that should work rather than promise a switch tonight.

Question for everyone able to go total wireless. I was going wireless from down stairs router to 2nd floor audio room. Mac Pro laptop, pmg dac 512. was able to play live radio fine but hi Rez and local dsd had bad lag latency. I moved the router to 2nd floor in my audio room and still had lag latency so hardwired from router-muon pro to dac. Playing dsd from local on Maestro only skips every once in a while now so I guess I have to hardwire my laptop to router now to see if the skip now and then stops. With the router now in the audio room I would think I would not have to hardwire at all. Anyone able to go total wifi using Maestro? Whoops it just froze up and stopped completely! This is so frustrating! :astonished_face:

I have not used Maestro since I came back from vacation a week ago. But when I used it with PMG 512 a few weeks ago the WiFi was working just fine, and Roon has always been working great in my system. I am not sure I will go back to Maestro until the iPad version is ready since I do not want to control audio system from 30’ away. Plus, Maestro does not sound superior to Roon in my system, unlike many have stated here before.

I have the main router upstairs, and use a satellite (node) downstairs. It connects to Grimm MU2 by ethernet, and WiFi to PMG streamer. Everything works great.

Your issue is probably more to do with Maestro than with WiFi. Have you tried Qobuz Connect or other Apps to see if the problem stops?

I will try Qobuz connect without maestro and see if that works for hi rez and will try Ethernet cable from laptop to router for maestro. In my system Maestro is significantly better than anything I have tried but man all theses extra cables is making a mess​:rofl:. Thanks for your reply Donald!

Hi Paul,

The update was downloaded and installed successfully.

Direct playback works, but the progress bar and the graphical bars next to the track are not responding. When I play a track and tap the large Play button at the bottom of the screen, they catch up and both start working properly. However, this does not happen when I play a track directly from an album.

Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

You previously made the tracks start playing faster for me, and that is working fine now. The only really annoying issue is that the progress bar and the graphical bars are still lagging/not updating properly.

Also, Continuous Play seems to work for only two tracks before it stops.

Two weeks ago everything worked excellent and now this probs..

Many greetings,
Jessy
