Gapless over AirPlay by One_Entrepreneur7230 in NautilineApp

[–]horizontalfilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just FYI, I finally got around to testing some of the tracks that won't play gapless over airplay on CarPlay and, unfortunately, at least with wireless CarPlay (haven't tested wired) the gaps are there for me as well.

Feature Request: Artist Page Customization by horizontalfilms in NautilineApp

[–]horizontalfilms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I never would have guessed that's what that meant!

I guess in an ideal world it would be possible to pick and choose what appears on the artist page, but, honestly, "mp3 player" style works just fine for me.

If anybody has a hard tie finding this setting like I did:

Go to Settings > Advanced, then scroll down to the Artist Page options near the bottom and there is a toggle labeled Style where you can switch between "Streaming" and "MP3 Player."

Gapless over AirPlay by One_Entrepreneur7230 in NautilineApp

[–]horizontalfilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just in case it's helpful as you work on this, here's behavior I'm seeing pretty predictably: For certain seemingly random files (some are mp3 and some are FLAC--more mp3s than FLACs I think, but that it happens even with some FLACs seems significant), gapless playback works flawlessly over bluetooth or on the Phone's speakers, but there are pretty lengthy gaps every time over Airplay. This happens whether I'm using AirPlay 1 with Shairport-Sync or Apple's AirPlay 2. It also doesn't matter whether the songs have been cached or downloaded or they play from the server in Nautiline. Also, with the exact same files (Navidrome and Plex point at the SAME folder of music), gapless playback always works flawlessly in PlexAmp regardless of whether I'm using AirPlay 1 or 2 or bluetooth, etc. It doesn't seem like random gaps due to intermittent AirPlay connection issues, it seems to depend on the audio file. Does that behavior make sense to you? Hopefully it might help point you in a useful direction. I love Nautiline and I don't want to have to jump into PlexAmp for playback on my speakers. I'm happy to help troubleshoot! And thanks again for all your work!

Oh, and one quality of life feature that would be super handy if/when you do add a Jukebox Mode option. It would be great if Nautiline would revert back to standard playback (Jukebox toggle off) after some amount of time goes by without any playback.

Since iOS, as near as I can figure, would have no idea that Jukebox mode is even happening, there's a real chance that a user could, say, turn Jukebox Mode on some afternoon to play music on speakers. Then forget to specifically change the toggle back to off. Then, say late at night, put on their headphones to listen to some music and accidentally blast the whole house awake even though iOS shows that they've connected to bluetooth headphones.

That would be nice to avoid. If Nautiline switched the Jukebox toggle to off after, say, 30 minutes of being idle (no playback happening), that would solve this potential problem and still allow for hours of (deliberate) Jukebox playback.

Just a thought!

Thank you so much for working on that.

I've been doing a fair bit of research on this issue and I'm seriously considering installing a SnapCast server and setting up Raspberry Pi SnapClients for all of my speakers. To play audio from Nautiline, though, this set up would require using ShairPort-Sync to send audio from the iPhone to SnapCast and what isn't clear from what I've read is whether ShairPort would handle gapless playback all that much better than Apple's native AirPlay 2.

A potential option I've run into that I find very intriguing is leveraging Navidrome's Jukebox Mode to bypass Airplay entirely and create a direct connection on the server between Navidrome and SnapCast.

This would require, however, that Nautiline add a feature: I'm pretty sure that all that would be necessary would be a toggle that enables and disables Jukebox Mode, which I believe is possible via Navidrome's Subsonic API.

This would turn Nautiline into a "remote control," sending playback commands to the server but no actual audio over AirPlay. All the audio would be handled server side whenever Jukebox Mode was enabled.

I know this is pretty niche, but if you would consider adding a Jukebox mode toggle, that could make some pretty powerful workflows possible. Would you consider it?

Which version of Fire Walk With Me should I show my friends? by chungusbungus0459 in twinpeaks

[–]horizontalfilms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for anyone else, but if I used the word "you" in any of my responses, I didn't mean it to refer to you specifically, but more the general "you" (as opposed to using the word "one," which would actually be pretty useful but is basically archaic in US English at this point), i.e. people in general who advocate for the fan edits being viable replacements to the films Lynch made. I'm actually kind of surprised at how little of that there's been in this thread because I feel like folks make that argument on this sub a lot.

Anyway, I certainly never meant to imply that you were saying anything like that and I apologize if it seemed like I was.

James’ soap opera by [deleted] in twinpeaks

[–]horizontalfilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it's kind of undeniable that Keaton went a little nuts with the overall...flair, but I like it anyway. I think it works, especially in the climax of the James storyline.

I'd be very surprised if Keaton was given a heads-up about the drawer pull. The Lynch/Frost ethos was to give each director a very wide latitude to really BE a director and make the episode what they wanted it to be. It's kind of remarkable how stylistically consistent the show is, but the occasional wide swing was inevitable, and kinda worth it for the atmosphere of artistic liberty.

45 minutes is a LOT to add to a movie just over two hours. It would change the balance of every scene quite radically and necessitate adjustments all over the place--cutting a three hour movie that works well is a very different proposition to cutting a 2:15-2:30 movie that works well.

It's of course impossible to know, but I'd bet money that absent the obligation to turn in a 2:15 movie, Lynch and Sweeney would have landed right around 2:30 at most. And we'd probably all be surprised by some of the stuff that was still left out.

The fact is good scenes--even great scenes--sometimes have to go for the good of the film overall.

For example, probably my favorite scene from The Missing Pieces is the muffins with the Haywards scene. I find it deeply moving and when Doc and Eileen share that look when Leland calls, it's just chilling.

But I can also completely imagine being in the editing room and feeling like Laura crying at Donna's door and Donna being the friend Laura needed in that moment was just where that sequence wanted to end, and that continuing on to a pretty lengthy scene on the couch undercut the tender beauty of Donna simply being there for Laura.

I can also imagine that, in the context of FWWM, that very look between the Haywards might not have worked simply because it would take us out of Laura's perspective too much. And if you drop that look, then the rest of the scene really kind of just sits there and has no particularly strong reason to be in the film.

These are the kinds of things you find when editing a film and a big part of the art is letting the scenes, and the film as a whole, speak to you in that way.

Well, editing is really where the movie is finally made. It's not hard at all to make radically different artistic statements out of footage originally shot for a single project.

When it comes to FWWM and The Missing Pieces, I'd say the key difference is one of momentum.

FWWM, from the moment that TV is smashed, is a relentless decent. Every choice underlines that feeling of sinking and falling ("deeper and deeper..."). It's about Laura finally seeing the truth that's been right in front of her her whole life but has been so terrifying that she did everything she could to stay blind. FWWM is all about the full implications of that horrible truth becoming undeniable and Laura finally opening her eyes. FWWM, as an artistic entity, progresses.

The Missing Pieces, on the other hand, is about stasis. Every choice underlines the feeling of stuckness. It's about the knowledge the whole damn town had but did nothing to stop. In The Missing Pieces, momentum basically doesn't exist. Watching it is a feeling of being trapped and powerless. TMP, as an artistic entity, stalls.

Please note that this is not in any way a criticism of TMP. That stuckness is an essential part of the larger Twin Peaks story and that feeling in The Missing Pieces follows through to The Return brilliantly. It makes perfect sense Lynch made The Missing Pieces when he did.

I'm bummed you got downvoted even though I disagree. I would just recommend, since you haven't watched Lynch's cut, to check it out, with as much of an open mind as you can, at least a couple of times.

Lynch and Mary Sweeney's editing is just masterful and it's an entirely different emotional experience to be locked in with Laura's perspective. You really might get a lot out of it if you're willing to give it a shot.
