As noted above,  if you only use PiCorePlayer as a player, there's no
need for a clean shutdown, as it runs in the main memory without
accessing the SD card after booting.
For Daphile, you'll need root access to install the apcupsd package
('emerge -av apcupsd' in Gentoo).

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] SqueezePlay for Mac OSX

2020-08-18 Thread Zork


Hi everyone,

I have Squeezeplay installed on two Macs : one MacBook Pro and one iMac.
Both are on the same (work) network and are connected to my home server
using the same vpn configuration.

With the MacBook Pro, Squeezeplay work as expected, but on the iMac it
is not able to connect to the remote library (getting the "try again"
window in Squeezeplay), but it shows as a player on the LMS web
interface. As a result, I can play music on the iMac (using the web
interface or iPeng as a controller), but the volume control has no
effect and Squeezeplay is not showing the "now playing" interface and it
does not allow library browsing from the app itself. I can totally live
without the now playing and browsing, but the volume control would be
great to have since the actual "fixed" volume is not loud enough.

Is there something I should look into to make the connection work in
order to get the same features on the iMac as on the MacBook Pro? I
looked into the settings files and except for the player computer ids
and the player names, they are identical.

Thanks in advance.

(Sorry if it is not the right place to post this question)

Z.

Re: [slim] UPS support

2020-08-18 Thread teeitup


My debian linux based LMS server is protected by an APC UPS.

Uses package "apcupsd" and connects via a usb cable. pretty simple to
setup.

Power outages are the new normal in California.

I don't really care about the PC or the software. It's the music library
that I'm worried about. The hours and hours of work that has gone into
creating it makes it imperative that I protect it. I also have 2
alternating backups of the music library.
