Re: [slim] Album duplication in library (Spotify)
I've not explicitly set 'library integration' and, although I've had a good look around the settings and forum cannot find the location of the setting. However, I have just noticed my plugins needed updating so did that and then performed a 'clear and rescan' and now everything is OK. Thanks for your help. And as always I am very, very grateful for your help over the years on this wonderful piece of software. Take care of your tongue. It is in a wet place and can easily slip.

Re: [slim] Album duplication in library (Spotify)
For some reason an album is appearing twice in my very well ordered local library. (One instance is because I hold the album as local files). The duplicate album has what appears to be a Spotify icon on it. It is a loved album in Spotify but none of my other loved Spotify music appears in my library. Are you using the online library integration at all? If so: any idea why the others wouldn't show up? ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Surely that would require two DACs? On the back of the Beresford DAC there are two pairs of RCA output sockets labelled fixed and variable, but both output the same analogue output from the one (stereo) DAC. The output signal is always available on the fixed pair; but on the variable pair (the other side of the volume control) the signal is muted when headphones are plugged in. (Beresford DACs 7510 ane 7520 work like this, later models don't.) The fixed output goes to the integrated amp which has its own volume control. The headphones are always plugged in. If I want to listen to the TV through the HiFi speakers I turn the amp on. Whether it is on or off the phones are working, and the volume control on the DAC sets their level. The TV is set to output to the internal speakers and the optical socket simultaneously, but the volume on the TV remote is set to zero all the time. If one person wanted to listen to the TV and the other in the room wanted to listen to music, the TV remote volume could be turned up and the amp left off. It never happens in our house! That is as close as I can get to what I think you want. An older TV might have an analogue line out (on RCA sockets or on a SCART) which could be routed to another input on the HiFi Amplifier, and selected on the Amp. I could do that with my last TV. That would achieve what you ask.

Re: [slim] Rational Lounge Integration of LMS and TV Audio
@Ronnie It is possible to wind the headphone output up from 0 db to +4db 36857 That makes my cheap headphones much more useable. (Not that I will be using them.) I plugged in my Sennheiser HD25 phones - commonly used by audio pros. Interestingly they are slightly more sensitive than my cheapies. I am still, however, using 90%+ on the player volume. It's not a bad sound out of the headphone socket when using the internal Pi Dac which I don't suppose was ever meant for anything beyond hobby project sounds. As said previously, a useful evolution would be the sort of hybrid 3.5mm jack that exports analogue sounds and optical output for a DAC. My next development will be to swap the Beresford 7510 DAC I have here in Southampton for the Caiman (7520) I have in Nicosia which has a USB input. I can then move the Pi into the lounge and discontinue the use of one of my Chromecast Audio Dongles. But goodness knows when I will next be in Nicosia! No matter, what I have working is working very well.

Re: [slim] Rational Lounge Integration of LMS and TV Audio
The output was set to headphones, but as I said was not driving hard. Not a problem, kidstypike, I absolutely delighted with my new Pi. I won't be using the 3.5mm jack. I was just exploring. I wonder if some future evolution will include one of those hybrid 3.5mm sockets that is also an optical out. Presently the jack is set to USB, I'll leave it as it is, and for now just ignore it. This is what I see. 36852 I wonder what the ticked "Auto Gain" does. No problem. I'll just enjoy this box as I now have it set up.

Re: [slim] Rational Lounge Integration of LMS and TV Audio
But tell me about the headphone socket on the PC. I plugged in a pair of cheap, sensitive headphones - nothing. I turned the software volume control right up and could hear the music - but it was not loud even at max volume. Is that 3.5mm jack socket more of a line out? I switched to generic USB output and plugged in an old Fiilo D5 USB DAC a friend gave me. The headphones went louder, but not much. Now I know that D5 can deafen me with the same headphones when plugged into a laptop. What gives? I notice there are many pre-configured USB outputs in the setup page, and an option to mess with ALSA directly. What's all that about, and is there documentation?

Re: [slim] Rotate Display
The rotate setting only works with the official rpi 7" screen. Try adding SDL_VIDEO_FBCON_ROTATION variable to your jivelite.sh script with the rotation type. For example one of Code: EXPORT SDL_VIDEO_FBCON_ROTATION=UD or EXPORT SDL_VIDEO_FBCON_ROTATION=CW or EXPORT SDL_VIDEO_FBCON_ROTATION=CCW Valid values are: o not set - Not rotating, no shadow. o "NONE" - Not rotating, but still using shadow. o "CW" - Rotating screen clockwise. o "UD" - Rotating screen upside down. o "CCW" - Rotating screen counter clockwise.

[slim] Rotate Display
Hello, I have a problem with the rotation of the screen. material: Pi3b Screen: Waveshare 3.5" TFT screen picoreplayer: 8.1.0 standard installation tutorial: w w w . pughx2 . com / picore3 . html I had no issues installing piCore and was putting the Pi one way. I moved my config and I need to flip the display 180°. I tested via the webserver in the Tweaks (check yes, backup, reboot) but it doesn't change. I also tested by modifying the config.txt (/mnt/mmcblk0p1). it doesn't change anything either. Can you help me?

LMS streams the data over TCP/IP. The receiving player controls how the data is decoded and clocked. Nothing can affect the timing before then, including any noise on the data lines - if you're wondering about noise affecting jitter. UNLESS... Noise (either electrical and/or radiated EMI) manages to affect the analogue stages of whatever eventually turns the digital data into audio. Which in your case would be the Beresford DAC. I guess there is a vanishingly small possibility that its analogue stages might get affected by power line noise and/or EMI, and the Pi4 would have different noise characteristics to the Windows PC. But the difference you hear is overwhelmingly more likely to be due to your expectations and/or state of mind. You've just installed a new toy that you're pleased with - you are bound to be in a happy place and as a result things sound nice.

Re: [slim] Rational Lounge Integration of LMS and TV Audio
Having turned my old PC off in favour of a Raspberry Pi to run LMS I am wondering if I am hearing a cleaner sound. I am now using LMS with Castbridge on rPi to a Google Chromecast Audio dongle, and using an optical link into a Beresford 7510 DAC driving a pair of Sennheiser HD25 headphones. Is that possible or probable? The Windows PC could have been injecting some digital noise into the stream. I am, though, suspicious even of my own subjective impressions when they are unsupported by measurements, which I cannot make.
