It's probably best for visibility if you break up your questions into
separate posts with clearly defined subjects. 

Setting up LMS in docker and moving over an existing configuration would
be pertinent to this thread, but Michael might have missed it (or he's
on vacation or something). (MusicIP should be a separate post.)

Not sure about 1:1 transmit, but the "blst" frame is a noop in both
squeezelite and jivelite if I remember my research correctly (it's been

Ah! This card was quickly "recreated" after fiddling too much with an
update from pCP6, so increasing the filesystem size might have been the
second thing I did. 

Due to the reboot I didn't realize it hadn't worked until I tried to

Oh, I just wanted to go to 100 or 200 MB. Turned out the issue is that
"fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0" output is different from what "autoresize.sh"
expects. On my installation (RPi3B+, 32 bit), I get 

tc@picore1:/var/www/cgi-bin$ fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0 
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 29.83 GiB, 32010928128 bytes, 62521344 sectors

/dev/mmcblk0p2  139264 548863  409600  200M 83 Linux


However, autoresize.sh expects this (from the script's inline
documentation):

# $ fdisk -l
# Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 3724 MB, 3904897024 bytes, 7626752 sectors

This results in the wrong field being cut by 

pcp_fdisk_part2() {
PART2_START=$(fdisk -l $DEVICE | tail -n 1 | sed 's/  */ /g' | cut -d'
' -f 4)
...

Instead of "-f 4", it needs "-f 2" to get the right field with my
output. Also, after resizing fdisk ask whether it should keep the ext4
FS signature on the new partition, which is not reflected in the
commands given by pcp_fdisk_part2(). Manually resizing the partition and
touching /home/tc/resize2fs_part2_required beforehand (followed by "pcp
bu") seems to have worked.

Hi,

I just noticed that I don't have any space available of on my SD card,
despite having previously resized the partition. On following up, I
noticed that while the "Resize partition" process appears to go through,
it does not change the partition size for my install (anymore - it has
worked in the past). Is there some documentation buried in some thread
on how to manually resize the FS, or do I need to extract that from the
scripts? Somewhere something is failing, but the automatic process
replaces the messages to fast to read them in detail during the reboot
sequence, so I'd like to do all that manually.

Which is nice for some use cases, but also suffers from the drawback
that it doesn't allow playback to be synchronized with a video source. 

So you can route your iPad's sound to the pCP while viewing YT, but then
video and audio will drift apart more or less instantly. If you instead
use shairport-sync, they'll stay, well, synced.

My router also uses fixed channels (selected manually to minimize
overlap with neighbors) in the 5 GHz spectrum. That's not the issue.
It's not a loss of connection to the router, it's a break down at the
driver level (or most likely: the firmware of the wireless chipset).
Switching to an RPi4 could help, but since I don't have a machined back
plate of the case with RPi4 cutouts, this is not an option.

Did the firmware blob for the brcmfmac driver change between pCP 6.0 and
7.0? I've found https://github.com/piCorePlayer/firmware-rpi-wireless
but I assume that that repository is not used anymore.

Any chance to change the blob (experimentally) on an existing pCP image
or would I have to do a completely custom base image for this?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Network dropout with pCP 7.0.0

2021-02-14 Thread pputzer


I've since activated the syslog daemon. Unfortunately, the kernel prints
out such a huge number of "lan78xx 1- eth0: kevent 4 may have been
dropped" that both /var/log/messages and /var/log/messages.0 get drowned
in seconds.

I was just giving up, wenn I noticed a new error (which seems more
plausible as the culprit because it's related to WIFI):

I've found https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/2453, which could
be the issue (I don't have the originating log lines, so I can't be sure
it's the same error, but the symptoms sound quite similar). I've tried

Is that a wireless connection? There are logfiles in /var/log but AFAIK
the kernel messages are not logged beyond the boot process (and the

Some new information. I've since booted the device with an ethernet
cable attached and it now has two IPs (one for wired and one for
wireless). Everything looks fine while accessing the wireless IP so, I
remove the cable. Some time later, a dropout again. No pinging the
wireless IP, despite the AP being connected to the router. I plugin in
the cable, everything's fine again. Pull the cable out, LMS loses
knowledge of the player, but I can still connect to the web interface
and via SSH :eek:

Now a dmesg on the PCP shows strange errors: pages full of 
[69595.140658] lan78xx 1-1.1.1:1.0 eth0: kevent 4 may have been dropped

[69595.152671] lan78xx 1-1.1.1:1.0 eth0: kevent 4 may have been dropped

Googling that error message leads me to
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/2447. This is of course
ancient history, but could this still be related/a regression of some
sort?

Another thing, I've enabled shairport-sync for testing synchronous
AirPlay (which does not work with the plugin), could this be interfering
with the network somehow?

Yes, but in this case the devices have direct line of sight and are
within 3 meters of each other (5 GHz). I'll run an the analyzer tomorrow
for any changes in neighboring networks, but I doubt that it's anything
of the sort. 

It has happened twice since upgrading to pCP 7 (and never before), both
times during or at the start of playback. Once is happenstance, twice
...

Anyway, my main question was whether there was any way to get access the
(kernel) logs without having network access, but apparently there is
not? I can of course reboot the device, but I'd have liked to look at
the logs to determine the cause.

Yes, I can quit Jivelite, but it respawns almost immediately. There is
nothing that looks relevant on the console (the last entry is about the
NTP time difference). So there's nothing I can to to investigate without
rebooting. Too bad.

Would adding /var/log to the saved files be a reasonable approach for
next time? (I can backup data from Jivelite)?

BTW it's not a routing dropout, the wireless radio seems to get
disabled.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Network dropout with pCP 7.0.0

I've posted previously in the pCP 7.0.0 announce thread ('#374'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?113512-ANNOUNCE-piCorePlayer-7-0-0=1004413=1#post1004413)

but I guess my issue got drowned out in the traffic.


- I've recently updated in-situ from pCP 6.
- Since then, my pCP has lost network connectivity twice.
- This is a WiFi, but the pCP and the router are in the same room, so
  the signal strength is 100 %
- I'm not sure if it is coincidence, but it seems to happen
  (sometimes) when initiating play from the "off" state of Squeezelite.
- Connecting an ethernet cable did not restore network connectivity.
  Either I disabled it (is that possible?) or the network stack crashed
  completly.
- Jivelite (and presumably Squeezelite) are still running.
- Connecting a USB keyboard apparently did nothing (i.e. no LEDs on

Now for my questions:

No connection via ethernet (orange led on pCP). How do I switch to a
secondary console when connecting a USB keyboard? Any way to store the
log files across a reboot from JiveLite? I'm not sure that the keyboard
is really working (no LEDs light up).

I've done an in-situ update from pCP 6.x to 7.0.0 which apparently went
flawlessly. I've since enabled the "Power off HDMI" tweak. When
rebooting, there's an error message in the logfile (presumably some
function or utility is not found, haven't checked the code):

Is there anything unusual in the kernel log? Are sure the power supply

Yes, but I don't know the package name. You'd best report this as a bug
in the piCorePlayer issues thread (there is one for each major version,
I am assuming you are using 6.1.x?).

Non-RT works fine even with huge audio buffer. So it looks like RT is
broken for now (on 3B+). Not a huge loss, but I liked the CPU isolation
for interrupts and the output thread.

If you are using WiFi, having an incorrect county code will produce

2020-03-08 Thread pputzer


I upgraded to 6.0.0-RT via a new install. I've noticed quite a bit of
instability with this build (as opposed to 5.0.0-beta7 I'd been running
before, also with the RT kernel). One area is when setting larger output
buffers like 500 MB for Squeezelite: playback does not work at all with
this setting and there were some strange errror messages about
"rcu_preempt" in the kernel log). The other situation is even more
strange: the player just lost all network access while idling and needed
power cycling. 

I know that RT kernels are experimental, but from my limited
exploration, they are much more unstable than in previous pCP releases.

One command that squeezelite does not support is the undocumented *blst*
frame that triggers the IR blaster functionality in the original
hardware. This is what the IRBlaster plugin uses, for example. One can
work around this by listening to server events and configuring the
commands on the client (e.g. using 'my little python daemon'
(https://github.com/mundschenk-at/squeezebox-ir-events), or something
similar).

To reply to myself, but with 5.0.0-b9 this behavior does not occur.
However, with the 5.0.1 card I've incorporated 'Soundcheck's suggestions
from his blog' (https://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com), so they are not
completely identical, especially regarding audio buffers and such.
Still, I don't think those enter because the player stops playing
entirely (and goes into pause mode after the set timeout).

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 5.0.0

2019-06-09 Thread pputzer


I'll investigate more tomorrow, but for now I'm back on beta 9:
With 5.0.0, WIFI was flaky - slow ssh, sometimes the player even dropped
out from being listed in the LMS web interface. Issues disappeared when
I rebooted into b9.

Beta 9. But apparently, for that version it does not work (only 4.1.0
and 4.0.0 are listed as versions to update from, so when trying to
download the update script, it fails).

Should I also do this when upgrading from the beta, or is in-site update
OK for that situation?

I don't know about you, but I like to look at boot logs via ssh on my
desktop, not from across the room at a 7 inch touchscreen.

On a pCP? Well, use cases are different, so it would be nice to have an
option for that.

Yes, but I can always swap in another SD card. Anyway, even if you keep
the boot messages, no one needs a login spawning on tty1.

Well, I just checked: /etc/inittab is run before the backup gets
restored. Any way to modify it earlier that does not include rolling my
own distro?

Is there a simple way to disable login spawning on tty1? I've disabled
all the boot messages, but the login prompt is still spawned from
/etc/inittab. Unfortunately, that's one configuration file that can't
easily be modified with pCP's usual backup/restore mechanism.

It does work, but I still get a login prompt on tty1. How can I disable
that as well?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 4.0.0

2019-05-07 Thread pputzer


What's the current best practice to control a pre-amplifier from within
piCorePlayer? With the original SB we had the IRBlaster plugin to
control standard "mono jack" emitter cables. I've found several emitter
solutions for RPi, but except for one self-assembly multi-purpose board,
none provide a 3.5mm jack. I've been thinking about soldering together a
custom solution (not my forte!), but maybe there's simply a better way
nowadays, maybe sending HTTP commands to one of the WIFI-to-IR gateways?
