Re: [slim] Need Help with a Curious USB A to B Cable with Squeezeite Settings
I'm using the USB 2.0 on the Pi and tried both of them but no dice. Ok i read the Curious site FAQ closely this time and will try to go over some of the tips there tomorrow even though some are rather vague in what to do. Will see if I can figure out to log as well as suggested in my rather rudimentary expertise on this at the moment. Appreciate any other suggestions. Both my other USB cables a Vovox Textura and a BBQ Full Rack work perfectly fine with the Pi. Just the Curious looks to be rather finicky but works with the MacBook. scslite's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71427 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113997 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Need Help with a Curious USB A to B Cable with Squeezeite Settings
In my opinion all usb cables are the same, if they are complient with the respective standard Are you using the usb2 or usb 3 sockets on the pi I would suggest a couple of logs to start with, boot and dmesg One set with a certified usb cable (and hopefully working dac) One set with the Curious cable and non working dac Ask Mr Woodland about your problem good luck ronnie Man in a van's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43627 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113997 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Need Help with a Curious USB A to B Cable with Squeezeite Settings
I see their FAQ has something in it that suggests this is a known issue. Also - other content of their FAQ makes me think that this should be in the Audiophiles area. https://curiouscables.com/faq Paul Webster http://dabdig.blogspot.com author of \"now playing\" plugins covering radio france (fip etc), kcrw, supla finland, abc australia, cbc/radio-canada and rte ireland Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113997 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Need Help with a Curious USB A to B Cable with Squeezeite Settings
Hi all, New to the forum and wanted to see if anyone here has by chance encountered the same issue I'm having with a Curious USB cable. Set up is an RPi4B with latest Picoreplayer via the onboard USB output hooked up to a Chord Qutest DAC. I'm having problems when I plug in a Curious USB cable where under the Squeezlite settings the Qutest is not presenting itself as any of the control options. I only see options for "headphones". If I plug in the Curious cable from my MacBook Air to the DAC it works just fine so it appears the cable is working but not when plugged into the RPi4B. Using another USB or a generic USB cable from the RPi4B to the Qutest I'm able to see the Qutest as hardware options under the Squeezlite settings and can hear audio just fine only when I plug in the Curious is when the DAC is not being detected. Are there specific USB cables that may require different settings than others? I thought all USBs are pretty much the same when it comes to pinouts and wiring? Any help with this is greatly appreciated! scslite's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71427 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113997 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I am running LMS 8.1.2 on a pCP 6 and it plays on a boom, touch, radio. I don't know if this is a "fake memory" (exists in my brain but not in reality), but I dimly recall that some work was done in LMS 8+ to address better https streaming. perhaps you can upgrade? I think the fact that you have sucess with LMS 8 might indicate what the issue is. One other thing that probably has nothing to do with it, but I am running the "reliable" https connection plug in. I use that for podcasts, but who knows... One other thing, you can go into the page source and choose other streams. Like I said, I just chose the ones that I thought would be the best quality.

I encountered a very odd problem in playing them. On my Win 8.1 LMS 7.9.0 only the ROOTS2 site would connect and play. (This is a really nice channel ). The other URLs would show as connecting on the Boom, but never connect and play. All of the channels on the SLCR site play fine in the chrome browser. These same non-connect/play would not work on the Radio, Receiver, Classic ether; ROOTS2 works on these, however. When I tried all these URLs in Win 10 LMS 8.0.0, all connected and worked perfectly. Any fixes or observations to resolve this problem would be appreciated!

Re: [slim] Boom Radio
No metadata as far as I know, just station ID, show and DJ name. They are a shortwave station broadcasting from Kall in Germany as that is their hobby. The internet stream is just an add on for those without SW receivers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9jGN22fry4&feature=emb_logo They broadcast in English Fri/Sat/Sun but also have German and Dutch presenters. We listen because of the Emperor Rosko as his show is literally a 'wall of sound' and good fun, taking us back to when he broadcast from the pirate radio ship of Radio Caroline, one of which was the MV Mi Amigo.

I haven't seen any other metadata with that stream.

Re: [slim] Boom Radio
Another station worth listening to is the venerable, and now 57 years old, Radio Caroline. Community run and playing only album tracks across all decades. They have even restored one of the original Caroline pirate radio ships, the Ross Revenge, and broadcast from it during the summer. They also have a sister station, Radio Caroline Flashback, playing music, adverts and jingles from the pirate ship era. http://www.radiocaroline.co.uk/#home.html Heuer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2543 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113942 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
