If they're from your uploads, just delete them or put them all in a single folder.

Cloudplay just hit 400,000 tracks. 

[JimH]

Thanks!  More than 20 TB of lossless music available for streaming now.

[Noteworthy]

Cloudplay is fantastic and I plan to upload several lossless playlists of classical music.

One thing however, while the tracks in the selected playlist playback just fine in pristine quality on my laptop I just cannot figure out how to play them wirelessly over a home network on my music system  . My dac is hooked up to the wireless router and to the amplifier.
Would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

Many thanks

You might be able to do it with DLNA if the device on the receiving end understands DLNA.

I've not been able to upload the all-lossless playlist I just created. I've run through all the standard checklist items. When I right click on the playlist, the Cloudplay upload button is greyed out, suggesting it has already been uploaded, but nothing appears in the Cloudplay view; I've adjusted screen and text size in case that was a problem.

One thing I note: My array contains the server; two NAS devices; and 3 externals for my large library, and somewhere I note that Cloudplay does not work with remote files. A number of files in my playlist reside in the NAS and externals. What constitutes remote for these purposes: The Server (obviously not)? My NAS or external drives? Truly remote  sources, eg outside the local network? Any other suggestions for how to complete the upload process?

Thanks as always

[JimH]

Maybe some are already from Cloudplay.  Take a look at the file locations.

Try a test playlist of a few files.  The minimum is 5.

External drives aren't a problem.  Nor a NAS.  Server maybe.

... Server maybe....

fwiw... I upload playlists [semi-]regularly.

The PC I use to upload those playlists is my main Windows desktop PC (that I often call the MC Server in my comments here).

The actual music files (i.e., all that FLAC stuff) are located on a FreeBSD/ZFS (running Samba for the Windows shares) server down in the basement that is "attached" to that desktop via a Windows share.

OK, having said all that. I've never had any issues uploading a playlist to Cloudplay.  It has always just worked.

 

[Blueoris]

I hope I posting this in the right forum.

It seems that the CloudPlay password I had in my password management app was wrong, so I had to change it via the "Forgot your Password".

I followed instructions in the email, changed it, and got two messages in the page. One message in blue with the "Your password was changed" wording (or something like that), and the other in yellow with the wording "You have to confirm your account before continuing".

How can I confirm my account? I only got an email for password reset, but didn't get an email with a new link after I changed it.

Without confirming it, every attempt to login with the new password obviously gives me that "You have to confirm your account before continuing" message.

[JimH]

Did you check your spam folder?  Try resending.

[retiredteacherguy]

I have signed up and used the confirmation link that came via email. My name shows up in the list of users. But for most actions I get a response of “You have to be signed into Cloudplay to do that, would you like to do that now?” and even if I click “Yes” nothing really happens.

[JimH]

The Cloudplay user registration is different from the forum registration.

[retiredteacherguy]

Yes I understand that. Maybe it was a cache issue, but I just re-opening MC and eventually it caught.

Who is John Pazos?  I'm listening to some nice boleros from this recent playlist by Lupus:   Latin Lovers Only.

I looked online without much success for a bio but finally found this:

JOHN PAZOS ES UN  PIANISTA Y DIRECTOR MUSICAL COLOMBIANO CON  GRAN RECONOCIMIENTO  INTERNACIONALMENTE, DIRIGIÓ ORQUESTAS DE CELIA CRUZ , CHEO FELICIANO, ANDY MONTAÑEZ, MARIANO CIVICO, RIKARENA. REY RUIZ Y OTRAS MÁS.

Try enlarging the window.

[Mebobo]

I'm trying to sign up/on for the Cloudplay but it's not recognizing my email and password used to sign onto the Forum when I try to sign in. When I tried "sign up" and used my user name Mebobo with a different password it said it's already taken. Any help on this? Love to upload some music for folks!

[JimH]

The forum registration is different from Cloudplay. 

I don't see a user named Mebobo on Cloudplay.  Maybe you're using your email for another username.

[Mebobo]

Apologies, got it to work. Had previously signed up and saved in LastPass. 

[mlknez]

I tried to upload some multichannel dsd encoded files and cloudplay wasn't having anything to do with that.  What are the exact limitations of cloudplay uploading and when will it support dsd encoding?

[Hendrik]

DSD is not supported. Cloudplay only supports lossless and compressed PCM files, FLAC, ALAC and APE. DSD would be significantly larger then any of those, as its not typically compressed (and even DST compression is not very efficient).

...so I can upload 900MB 192khz 6 channel flac files, but cannot upload 400MB 6 channel dsd files?

[mpinfer]

Hi all,

I want to try Cloudplay, but I have sign-in problems.

When i try to sign up it says my user name is already used. I don't exactly know if it is my user name , mpinfer, what is used, or my email, where all JRiver notifications are sent to me, what is already used.

I try to sign in and it says "Invalid username or password". I try to use the option "Forgot password" with my email and no email with password reset instructions arrive.

Any clue? Probably it has been answered before, but I haven't been able to find it.

Thanks all, Manuel.

[JimH]

Spam folder?  Different email address?

The closest user name I see is mpf101.

[mpinfer]

Hi Jim, thank you very much.

You are so kind and I'm a little bit silly, after my long experience with email problems.

Obviously, it was in the spam folder!  Password changed and problem solved.

I'm now listening to a baroque list of Hoegu, thank's for it. I have to upload my first! 

Thanks again. Best, Manuel.

[Humbledore]

Are there any plans to make if possible to analyze Cloudplay files in order to use volume leveling?

[JimH]

I believe they are all analyzed prior to uploading.  Try enabling volume leveling.

[antenna]

Once, when I tried uploading a playlist to Cloudplay and one of the songs had not been "audio analyzed" I was greeted with a message asking me to "audio analyze" before I upload.

So now, Analyze Audio is on my checklist for my playlist uploads. 

fwiw, here is my checklist.  Suggestions welcomed...

- check the date on songs from compilation, best hits, etc. albums

- check capitalization for artist, album and song title

- check punctuation for artist, album and song title (e.g. Its vs It's)

- check the genre for the songs

- clear Comments field

- clear Notes field

- clear the Description field, if appropriate

- check for appropriate cover art

- check title of playlist for proper capitalization and punctuation

- Analyze Audio on the entire playlist

 

[Humbledore]

I believe they are all analyzed prior to uploading.

No, they are not.

[JimH]

Have you checked the R128 tag?

Take a look at "Peak Level R128" under the Playback section.  I just checked and it is filled.

ReplayGain is no longer used.  It hasn't been for many years now.

There is a search window at the bottom.

I have checked my downloaded playlists (quite many), and only 4 % of the tracks have a value in the Peak Level R128 and Volume Level R128 fields.

Cloudplay is great! Thanks.
I'd like to report a problem that I'm having with it.
Since the last few MC updates, the Cloudplay view had the colors changed and, depending on the MC's skin, it is unreadable.
I use the Purity skin. With this skin the background is mid gray and the text is light gray. It is no possible to read. In MC30 the background is white and the text is black.
With other skins the Cloudplay colors change and become readable again, but it should be readable with any skin. I could not find any other skin that I like.
I attached two screen shots. One from MC31 and the other from the MC30.
Thanks

EDIT: I found a workaround. Using Internet Explorer as a browser engine fix the issue with the Cloudplay, but brakes the spotlight. Both Edge and Chromium engine has the same problem.
I also found out that signing out and signing in again changes the color scheme temporarily while I keep that view opened. If I close the tab and open Cloudplay again, the issue happens again.

[iankelsall25]

I am signed into to cloudplay, but every time i click the play symbol i get a request to sign in. this means i cannot play anything. why?

JRiver for Android can now play Cloudplay files to another machine.

As an example, I'm using an Android Phone to play a Cloudplay playlist to a JRiver Id.

Not available in iOS?

[JimH]

Search DJ is a new feature.  In build 68, it allows you to search for a list of artists and play them from Cloudplay.  It's under the Tools Menu and on the Playing Now page.

Thanks, Matt, for putting it together.

500,000 tracks now

[Dawgincontrol]

Last few times I've uploaded a playlist, I've gotten numerous random fails on tracks.  Have had to cancel and retry or reupload the playlist.  It becomes tiresome.  Don't know the cause because many times it will go to the next track and complete it. 

Has happened before, but not to the extent of the last couple of weeks.

I can think of two possibilites.

The first is a general network problem.

The second is that some of the files are very big.  High Rez, etc.

[JimH]

We know what this problem is, and it's fixed now in MC32.  We won't fix it in MC31.

[antenna]

Many thanks for the status update.

[larryrup]

I've lost the ability to upload to Cloudplay, which I assume is associated with this topic.  Every upload fails.  I am running v30.0.96. I was updating the play list "2020 Releases-Women in Music Pt 1" Somehow the failed upload resulted in a playlist that was 42 songs, to now only the opening track, all the others are no longer in the Cloudplay playlist.   I am unable to fix this.

Are you saying any version below 32 can no longer upload to Cloudplay?

Regards,

Larry

[JimH]

Could someone test Cloudplay upload now with MC32?  MC32 is on the MC32 board.

Thanks.

[SoundYogi]

Using the MC32 I've just uploaded the playlist that I couldn't upload with MC31. The upload was slower than usual but it worked! Thanks!

[antenna]

I just uploaded a playlist using MC 32.

The upload went smoothly.

Many thanks!
