[slim] How to date LMS from 8.0.0 to 8.3.0 using pcp
Hello, How does one update LMS to 8.3.0 from 8.0.0? In other words, how does one run the following command to execute the installer sudo lms-update.sh -r For the past how many weeks (several) I have been looking at a line of text at the bottom of my LMS saying that I can update my LMS software. Today I decided to do it. And I think it instructed me to run that line shown above. But I don't know how to do what is instructed. I am in my pcp. I use a Mac. Am I supposed to use the Terminal app on my Mac to enter the sudo lms-update.sh -r At the bottom of my LMS screen is the following system version numbers piCorePlayer1 | piCorePlayer v8.0.0 | www v00016 | linux 5.10.42-pcpCore-v7 (32) | piCore v13.0 | Squeezelite v1.9.9-1386-pCP Many thanks anglecard48's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71714 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117238 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The advice about the Squeezelite settings did the trick. I used hwCARD=Tone1,DEV=0. And music poured out of speakers, Bemsha Swing, Miles Davis and MJQ. Beautiful. When I used hwCARD=Control,DEV=0 it wouldn't allow me to launch Sqeezelite. I have another Tone 1 question. There is some advice that the sound can be improved by splitting the USB power and data wires and using a separate power source rather than using RPi. There are a couple techniques for doing this that don't jeopardize Tone 1 warranty. Some say otherwise the Tone 1 emits some noise. So far I am not hearing noise. But it may be because I am so jubilant. Onward!

[slim] Khadas Tone 1 DAC no sound
I am installing a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B ethernet wired to Internet with a Khadas Tone 1 DAC. I am getting no sound. I had installed pCP ver 8 on my RPI and went through the whole configuration set up (which you taught me last July). For Squeezelight Settings output I selected USB. No sound. So I went back to the Audio output device settings in pCP in Squeezelite and selected from the pick list GenericSimpleESS9023 DAC. I did hear some popping from the speakers as the RPi / pCP went through its thing. But no music. I am using Qobuz. It is selected and all properly logged in in LMS. It does show up as connected and playing on my remote (I use a Duet remote). I unplugged the USB from the back of the Raspberry Pi and tried it in a different socket. I shutdown pCP and Raspberry Pi and restarted. But no soap. It all looks good but no sound. Any thoughts? I did come across a post on this topic, named "Khadas Tone Control no sound" (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?112687-Khadas-Tone-Control-no-sound/page2) But it's from 2011 and way over my head. My system is fine. So I know there is nothing wrong with my preamp, amp or speakers. I am actually moving an existing RPi 4 / Topping D-30 from this system to another system upstairs and inserting the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B / Khadas Tone in its place. And all was working well with the former set up. So I know cabling preamp and system are OK.

Re: [slim] Looking for advice on Rasperry Pi piCore Player set up
Before I get to your ideas and recommendations about back up and a remote controller, I want to revisit a mystery that had me fretful early on in the process, and still fretful up until a moment ago. The information may come in handy in the future if a member runs into the same situation, which is: RP did not show up as a connected device on my network. You may or may not recall that when I first burned pCP onto an SD card and plugged it in and wired up the RP it did not show up as a connected device on my network. I thought my image burn was incorrect, so I focussed on that. Also I called tech support at my ISP and the person there did not see it as a connected device either. Once I got a micro HDMI cable and wired into a TV, I saw a valid IP address. And I was able to achieve happiness soon thereafter. But it bothered me that I was not seeing RP or pCP on my router's connected devices. My network hardware setup consists of a cable modem / router (Arris Gateway Modem) and in two "Plume Home Pass Super Pods" that are plugged into electrical outlets, one on first floor, the other upstairs. My RP is wired into the router and not into one of the pods. My ISP told me this morning that the Raspberry Pi hardwired into the Arris gateway modem will not show up as a connecting device since it is not connecting to one of the pods. That still bothered my because I not only couldn't see it on the Plume Home Pass but couldn't see it when I plugged in the Arris IP address and navigated around the various settings there. I got a note from a supervisor just now at ISP saying the pCP is showing up and can be seen in a list under the LAN Setup client listing for the Arris router. But it will not show up on the Plume Home Pass. I sure couldn't find it until he sent me a screen grab showing me where to look. So, the RP/pCP was on the network all the time. I just wasn't looking in the right place for the right list. Doh! Of course neither was the customer support guy at the ISP. ---- anglecard48's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71714 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114796 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I think I should get accustomed to it, play with it for a couple days -- it should seem that any device that connects to Internet and allows me to enter the IP address would operate it.

Re: [slim] Looking for advice on Rasperry Pi piCore Player set up
SUCCESS!!! ALL IS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD. The thing works now. Music is streaming out of the RaspberryPi / PiCorePlayer to my Topping D30 and out to my preamp / amp / speakers. Sounds sweet. I wish I know why today and not yesterday. See attached. The RP sees the D30 DAC. I am happy. Still confused but happy. Next is to configure a remote. I believe I will open a new thread on the topic of a remote. I have looked at some conversations on this forum and see that on the piCorePlayer website ( https://www.picoreplayer.org/landingzone_features.html ) "Feature 7" shows a remote. The links are over my head. On a previous post a member mentioned a smart phone and Material skin. I have a couple of smart phones collecting dust. I don't know why I'd want to keep the Duet Controller. The Duet system does still have some value on eBay ($50 - $100). It might be of use to someone. You people are great.

Re: [slim] Looking for advice on Rasperry Pi piCore Player set up
It looks like I've got everything connected, set up and running. I double checked that I carried out the instructions from kidtypike and KeBul and the picoreplayer.org site. All looks good. See screen shot. It appears to be playing from an Internet streaming source. But I can't get any sound. I should say I can't get any sound through my DAC and out through my stereo system. Sound does come through the TV that I set up this morning. I have a Topping D30 DAC. So I have hooked up to it with a USB cable from the RP. there are four USB outlets on the RP. Does it matter which one I use? PiCP has a number of "Audio Output Device Settings." I've tried: USB Audio; Generic/simple ESS9023; and a couple others. Then there is a setting under "Change Squeezelite settings" named "Output settings" that has a pick list of things like: default; plugeaual; equal and others. I've tried a few of those. With each selection I click on Save, Stop LMS, and reboot the RP. Is there a secret code to getting the sound out to the Topping D30? PiCP.org has some instructions about the Topping E30 but it doesn't seem to apply here.

Re: [slim] Looking for advice on Rasperry Pi piCore Player set up
I am truly an idiot. I am now looking at the piCorePlayer that's installed on an SD card I burned and is inserted in my Raspberry Pi. See screen shot for verification. Yesterday, when I had bothered all of you generous people saying I could not connect the RPi to my network and hooking up an HDMI monitor did not solve the problem, I had omitted one very important step. I had not connected the RPi to my router. What I did when I received the micro HDMI cable is I excitedly took my RPi and SD card to my most accessible TV and plugged it in and saw no connection in the display text. I tried other cards and no card with the same result. I thought I would see there a url with the RPi's network address. I had mistakenly understood that the RPi / piCorePlayer somehow would have a network address, I guess, imbedded or maybe it would automatically connect wirelessly. I had previously, as you know, tried to connect RPi to my network by ethernet cables into router sockets but with no HDMI display and could not see it on my list of devices connected to my network. Last night I shot upright in bed at 2:38 a.m. thinking what if the network address is only accessed if the device is plugged in - via ethernet - to the network? In other words it isn't something imbedded or gotten via a wireless connection. I should have taken the TV to the router and RPi not the RPi to the TV. So, this morning I took the smallest TV in the house to the router, hooked up RPi with SD card to the TV, ethernet to router, and turned all on and viola. I feel like a complete halfwit. I apologize to you all. My wife has reminded me for many years that I am the kind of person who has to have everything clearly spelled out. I always assumed she was just talking about things that she told me to do, to which I didn't give my full attention. No, I am thick. Be that as it may, I can now move on to the step: "Main page", scroll down to bottom of page and click the "Beta tab", dismiss warning." as kidstypike instructed way back at the beginning of this fiasco. I hope all goes smoothly now.

Re: [slim] Looking for advice on Rasperry Pi piCore Player set up
You all are hugely appreciated by me; and you have great stamina. It seems to me like a hardware issue too. kidstypike said: "If your pi/monitor is saying "No network found", then that is your problem." I think I've done all the things suggested: I have connected the pi to the router via four different Ethernet cables. I have plugged into three different sockets on the back of the router. Also I have unplugged devices that are on the network and plugging their cables into the Raspberry Pi. So it seems the cables work and the router works and works at those socket points. The router hasn't been faulty in any other cases; every device we own and that our guests have brought into home has been able to get on the network. I've been in touch with our Internet provider and they have spent time with me on this and have run their diagnosis on the router (whatever that is) and it looks healthy. Interestingly, the tech support guy owns a Raspberry Pi. The only stone left to turn over would be accomplished by Redrum's idea of taking it over to a neighbor's and plugging into his network to see if it pops up. I have fairly recently moved into the neighborhood and will need to work up to that favor to ask. But will. Or maybe the tech support guy at our Internet provider would let me come in and connect it. Meanwhile I have been in contact with the support department at the RPi retailer, piShop.us. They are a 24 hour responder working M - F, 9 - 5, so next Monday I should hear back. The Raspberry pi website suggests a user with problems looks to its user forum. It does have a forum post on the very same topic but no resolution that I can see. Here's a link: https://bit.ly/3xqM3zH I'm thinking the retailer will send a replacement. But I'll keep working at it meanwhile. Thanks again all of you.

I am not qualified to understand the text but I do see a couple lines that are relative to the problem I reported to you earlier in the week: On line 16 (or nearby) in yellow type it says "Waiting for network " and on the same line in pink: "No network found." With the SD card burned with Raspberry Lite It went through lots of lines displaying on the screen. With no SD card inserted. It displayed about 20 lines of text and a QR code which took me to a web page describing Raspberry Pi OS.

Again, you people are terrific, Thanks so much for all your help. After this morning's attempts I got in touch with the shop I bought the Raspberry Pi from, PiShop.us. I'd hope to hear back from them soon. This morning's attempt are summarized here: Today I went over to the Walmart and bought another SD card and burned pCP onto it using a Windows version of USBImager. In other words, sort of started over with a couple new players. No success. So I plugged in a 4 GB SD card and burned Raspberry Lite OS onto it to see if the RP would connect to my network with that installed rather than pCP. No success. I thought maybe I'm just not seeing RP in my list of connected devices so I had my Internet provider take a look. No, it was not showing up. And I made sure that the ethernet cable and socket were proven to work (I pulled the cable out of the back of my functioning Roku and used it). When I power up the Raspberry Pi a solid red LED comes on and a green LED flashes intermittently, irregularly and then goes dark and stays dark. I will leave this in PiShop.us's Customer Support court for the rest of the day. I still have a few ideas from you that I can and will try. But want to hear from Customer Support first.

Back at it. Thanks again for you help. Here a few replies or outcomes: KeBul stated succinctly what I'm attempting: "...pCP imaged and running on your RPi on the same network as your laptop and you accessing pCP via a web browser to configure it." kidstypike suggested: "Nothing connected, log into your router, or use the other methods in the doc to see the devices connected to your network, say there are X total. Then connect your picore player (via ethernet to your router only) and refresh. If you don't see one more, you dont have a running picore yet, it's time to focus (as mentioned) on a proper image on the SD." me: I did that. I don't see picore so I dont have a running picore yet. I do see other devices and I do see them go away if I disconnect them and come back to the list of connected devices when I power them up. kidstypike: "Which software are you using to burn the pCP image to the SD card?" "A 2GB card isn't big enough." me: To burn the image to the SD card I used Raspberry Pi Imager and Balena Etcher. The card I'm using is 32 gb. The model is SanDisk Extreme Plus, micro SDHC, Read Write. I was unable to see the Raspberry Pi on my network when I plugged the SD card into the RP, plugged internet cable into the router and powered up. Fahzz: "There's windows app called SDcard Formatter try that. I also used an app called Balena Etcher to burn the image." me: I downloaded SDcard Formatter and Balena Etcher Mac versions to my MacBook Air. I formatted the card with SDcF and then burned the image with Balena. I plugged in and was unable to see the Raspberry Pi on my network. KeBul: "The premise is you use one of those utilities, specify the card you want your image to be written to (your micro SD card), specify the image file (your downloaded and unzipped picoreplayer.img file and then the utility will format the card, create all the necessary partitions, unpack and copy the files and make the card bootable. ...place the card in your RPi, connect the RPi to your router and power it up, leave it for a few minutes to allow it to boot and then look for its IP address in your router." me: Yes, I understand. I did all that. I used Raspberry Pi Imager on a Mac and on a PC. I used Balena Etcher on the Mac only. In each case, it seemed apparent that the applications were doing their thing burning the image. But to no avail. PNelson: "Plug the Pi using a ethernet cable into the router, not the computer." me: Yes, that's what I did. Redrum: "Nothing connected, log into your router, or use the other methods in the doc to see the devices connected to your network, say there are X total. Then connect your picore player (via ethernet to your router only) and refresh. If you don't see one more, you don't have a running picore yet, it's time to focus (as mentioned) on a proper image on the SD." me: I did that. I could see the various devices connected to my Internet via an app that our Internet provider gave us called Plume Home Pass. I could click on each and find out IP addresses. I could turn off devices and see that they were "Not connected." I could turn on devices and see them come on line. I could never see the picore player. chicks: "it should show up in your browser at pcp.local, much simpler than typing an IP address." me: This didn't work. sbp: "I Will suggest that you start by adding a computer screen to your raspberry." me: I suppose. But if it's supposed to work by connecting to a laptop, I'd like to see that work. Raspberry Pi website: There is an article on the RP site titled "How to connect Raspberry Pi to laptop display: step by step guide." https://bit.ly/2SUoKiQ Me: This step by step guide is easy enough to follow up to the end of Step 2. Then it goes way over my head. Conclusion: I am down but not out. Although, I am not suer what my next step is. Tomorrow perhaps a call to Raspberry Pi or its distributor that I purchased from (PiShop.US) or to someone at piCorePlayer. Otherwise it has been a very nice 4th of July. My daughter and son-in-law spent the weekend with us. We saw some fireworks. We saw a tremendous rainbow. We went out in our canoe and kayak. Ate well. Drank a little too much. For music, I plugged a USB cable into my Topping D30 DAC from a Samsung cell phone. Opened up a Pandora app and accessed lots of good music. It sounded terrific. My wife asked me why I'm driving myself nuts with Raspberry Pi and previously with Squeezebox Duet. Why not get an old cell phone and dedicate it to the hifi? She's got a knack for cutting through the extraneous stuff in life. My only answer to her was, "That wouldn't be right." I'll keep trying. anglecard48's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71714 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.co
Re: [slim] Looking for advice on Rasperry Pi piCore Player set up
I'm beginning to get worn out. I've been at it for a good three-plus hours. I've gotten as far as "Find IP address of Pi and enter it into a web browser address bar on your laptop and press enter." I've done that but nothing happens. I think maybe I don't really have the Raspberry Pi's IP address. When i run an ethernet cable from the Raspberry Pi to my PC and go to > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Sharing Center I see my usual network and I see "Unidentified Network," which shows Ethernet connection and shows No Internet Access. I can get information on this connection including an IP address, which is what I used as described above. But apparently this is not the Raspberry Pi' IP address. I've wired the Raspberry Pi via ethernet into our router but it doesn't show up as a connected device on our network. My good old Squeezebox Boom and Squeezebox Radio show up. The Raspberry Pi seems fine the lights come on showing that it is connected to at electrical and ethernet sockets. I thought maybe my download and copy the PicorePlayer onto the microSD card was faulty to I redid it twice, once on my Windows PC and once on the Mac. Same results. The install seemed to have been fine. At least it looked that way. I'm out of ideas as to what to do next. I think I'll put an LP on the turntable. My motivation to keep going is that a) I am a glutton for punishment; and b) I couldn't get my Duet to work yesterday or this morning, so I need this Raspberry Pi idea to work.

Well, I can't seem to get to first base. I have a 2 gb microSD (Sandisk) when I try to write to it to burn the piCore player I get Error writing to storage. I went over to Target and bought a 32 GB Sandisk and got the same message. I thought these things were pre formatted but maybe not. So I tried to format on my Windows PC and get the message that Windows cannot format.

[slim] Looking for advice on Rasperry Pi piCore Player set up
I just received shipment of my Raspberry Pi 4.0 GB Model B, which I plan on using with piCore Player to replace my SB Duet. Can you recommend any instructions, Youtube videos etc that I can review so I do this right? I want to know how to use my laptop to set up the Raspberry Pi, download the piCore Player and transfer it to a memory card and plug that into the Raspberry pi, and then configure the Raspberry Pi to use LMS. All I play is streamed content, I understand LMS and mysb and have been a user for 10 years or so. I don't have a hard drive with digitized music. I just want to play radio and Pandora, etc. I don't know what size micro SD I need. I don't know how to use my laptop to set up the Raspberry PI (instead of buying a Raspberry Pi keyboard and monitor). Once I get everything set up, I don't understand what I would use as a controller: an old cell phone that I have in the closet or my Duet Controller. I have searched up and down on Google and YouTube and the sites of the two manufacturers (RP and piC) and and seem to only come up with content that explains Raspberry Pi for hobbiests or for audio users that have hard drives full of digitized music. I can't find a "set this up for Dummies."

You wont regret your decision. Yes, two years is probably about right. Hey, it gives a retired guy like me something to get tripped up on, which is good. I'm very honked off at my SB Duet right now and don't even want to look at it. I do look forward to the piCorePlayer on a Pi. But I'm thinking maybe I may want to use a remote other than the SB Duet Controller. So I looked at some posts and came across the likes of this: "you can add a small IR receiver to the GPIOs on the Pi you might need an extra resistor" Yikes. Maybe I should keep the SB Controller. ---- anglecard48's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71714 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114758 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Machine to use for LMS and Duet
Thanks to all of you again. I went back and reread all of the comments and I think I am beginning to get this. The Raspberry pi and the Dell Wyse are great suggestions. As I mentioned, I'll go the Raspberry pi / piCorePlayer and I won't worry about connection to mysb. I'll keep the Duet Controller. I have been rather old school with my audio set up -- my amplifier is early 1970's -- so I do have some work to do to get hip to the new technologies. Some of the lingo baffles me, eg: "client", "hat", "run ffs" etc. So as I get into my Raspberry pi / piCorePlayer launch you may see me back here again seeking your help. As Billy Strayhorn said "ever onward and upward."

Thanks all of you. I have ordered a Raspberry Pi and will dive into the install and enjoyment next week I hope. I'd like and really appreciate your comments. Could I impose once more? I just want to summarize and have you check to see if I understand all this correctly. - I have an SB Duet in my living room (main listening room). - I do not have a PC to dedicate 24/7 in my main listening room (hifi system) to run LMS and need to remedy that situation. - I really only listen to streaming audio via Pandora and Internet radio stations (maybe a one-day-in-the-future task will be to digitize my LPs and stream them off a hard drive) -The Raspberry pi is the ideal hardware device (small, cool, quiet, capable, ships today, and inexpensive) that can work to operate my LMS with my Duet But... -piCore Player is a higher-level application than the native Squeezebox app that Duet uses, so I'll use piCore Player instead and will use my Duet only as a remote. I believe I can use my laptop's monitor and keyboard to set up my Raspberry pi via plugging into my router and looking up Raspberry pi IP address on the router. So I won't need a Raspberry keyboard and monitor. - There is a Raspberry pi OS and OS lite that is available from raspberrypi.org. It seems that one uses a micro sd card to get a download app from pc to Raspberry pi. - Once Raspberry pi is plugged in and operational, I will download LMS from Logitech Squeezebox and install it on the Raspberry pi. NOTE: one respondent instructed that: "If you want your server PC to also be a player, you install the "Local Player" plugin." I don't exactly know what that means. - Once the server is running, I'll download, install, and configure my piCorePlayer to "use this instance of LMS as its server" (I don't exactly know what that last part in quotes means). - piCore Player will appear on my LMS as a Squeezelite player called piCorePlayer Question 1: will I need my Squeezebox receiver? Question 2: Currently I am not able to connect my SB Duet Receiver or Controller to mysb. I have a post on the Duet stream. Will that cause problems when I attempt tp go the piCore Player route? Question 3: Currently I use a Topping DAC. Would I line into that DAC from my Raspberry pi? Or does Raspberry pi line in to the SB receiver and then line into the Topping DAC? My system consists of: Turntable -- ProJect CD Player -- Rotel Streamer -- SB Duet (LMS on MacBook Air when available) DAC -- Topping D30 Preamp -- Reference Line Preeminence One Amp -- SAE Mark 31B Speakers -- WOW1s Many, many thanks. -------- anglecard48's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71714 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114758 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I like the idea, price, immediate availability, and footprint of the Raspberry Pi 4 option. What is the optimum operating system for this option? Would a Raspberry Pi setup have its own OS. Or does one use something like Windows or Linnux? I once set up an old 386 PC by installing a Linnux (Ubuntu lite) OS. It wasn't the funnest time I ever had but I got it to work and can do it again.

[slim] Confusion: the basics of LMS and mysqueezebox.com
I've had a Squeezebox Duet for 12 years, a Squeezebox Radio for the past 8 years and a Boom for about a year. I listen to radio (FM stations) and Pandora streaming. I don't listen to any music from internal digital sources. I don't know what I'm doing when I run into problems. I had an issue recently connecting to a new Tidal account. I just don't get the whole set up. I have LMS V 8.1.1 installed on my MacBook Air. I never play any music from my MacBook or any hard drive. I only stream from Internet sources. I'm confused about why I need LMS on my Mac. Does LMS on my Mac have anything to do with streaming from an Internet source. All the LMS setting and the web remote control (never use it) confuse the heck out of me. Could I delete it from my Mac and still successfully stream from the likes of Pandora and Tidal? anglecard48's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71714 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114749 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
