Ah ok.  It wasn't obvious to me that this was handling the Jivelite
settings.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Touchscreen display for piCorePlayer

2022-01-05 Thread dorkshoei


So I got the OSOYOO 5" yesterday.

Having some minor issues: 

- after installing Jivelite the default in web browser tweaks was 180
degree screen rotation; screen was correctly oriented but touch was
upside down.  Changing to 0 resolves the touch being upside down and
doesn't change screen so working but seems odd.

- Power off button (or what I assume is supposed to be power off) in
upper left corner of touch screen doesn't work

- Everytime Jivelite starts it's in some foreign language,  changing to
English doesn't seem to persist in settings.

All minor,  5" does seem large enough and obviously way better than the
uPerfect.

@mfraser,  so do you feel 5" is sufficient size?

I stumbled on mention of a dfrobot screen here
https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=1593437#p1593437 

The fact that it's available in 7" is appealing: 
https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1784.html

There is an unanswered comment from 3 months ago asking if SW
backlighting is supported yet,  above forum thread indicates it's only
adjustable via pot.

I guess the Osoyoo is SW controllable via sysfs which is nice.

I'm making my own case (3D printing it).  Will be wall mounted and
include the 24VDC psu for the hat.

I assume you're referring to this: 
https://www.amazon.com/OSOYOO-Capacitive-Connector-Resolution-Raspberry/dp/B07KKB5YS9/

Looks interesting.   I'd like to buy from Amazon at this point as if I
have an issue it's going to be way easier to resolve.

Never heard of DPI before and I've not looked at waveshare threads.  I
will.

I'm curious on screen size.  Does 4" work well?  Vs 7"   4" is smaller
than my phone.   A subjective question I realize.

I'd been under the impression 7" may be too small but I guess that
PIM369 is 4".

'This on Amazon seems similar.'
(https://www.amazon.com/HDMI-LCD-Resolution-Resistive-Screen/dp/B07P5H2315)
except it looks like it uses the header just for the touch function
and requires the monitor to connect to the rPI's HDMI port.   Not sure
if it works with rPi4?

Thanks for the suggestions.   Keep the advice coming.   Thank you!

For the uPerfect I bought my expectation was that the touch screen
device should appear in dmesg/lsusb when connected.   Obviously a driver
may be required but the base kernel USB stack should detect a device
trying to registered even if it has no corresponding driver.   There is
a 4-pin TE "picoblade" connector and also a micro-usb connector, either
of which should be connected to the Pi's USB port. You can see it
shown at 12:30 in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HUt6tRReEQ

I see no log messages of any kind.  I talked to the video's author and
he suggested (common issue) to ensure the uPerfect is getting sufficient
power.  I tried powering it directly from a 3A power supply instead of
the PI's GPIO pins (which uPerfect said would work) and there was no
change.

uPerfect are utterly useless, won't respond,  won't honor warranty.  
VISA told me I'd waited too long to file a dispute.

I just want something functional.   My sense is that since the skin is
800x480 that a 7" is probably sufficient.Also given the negative
experience of the uPerfect I want to not waste good money after bad.

I've not seen this.  

The DigiAmp+ re-exposes all 40 pins of the rpi header.  See:

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Touchscreen display for piCorePlayer

2021-12-27 Thread dorkshoei


_Short_version_

I don't love the official Raspberry Pi 7" screen. It seems rather dated
and overpriced for what it is.  I don't care for the large bezel around
the LCD and (like many things) it's extensively back ordered right now. 
On the other hand,  reports do indicate it seems to be reliable.

Q: Are there any other recommended displays that work well?

_Long_version_

I'm building an streaming box using an rPi4, 'DigiAmp+ audio hat'
(https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/iqaudio-digiamp-plus/) and
'integrated LRS-100-24VDC power supply.'
(https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/260/mwec_s_a0011714173_1-2274466.pdf)

I want a built-in touch screen to control it.   Yes I know I can control
it from my phone however I want a built-in screen.

I'll be 3D printing my own case to hold all of the above and for space
reasons I need to wall mount it.   Unless of course anyone knows off an
off the shelf case than can hold all of the above.   I don't want
external wall-wart power supplies.  Everything has to be in the case.

I bought 'one of these screens'
(https://www.uperfectmonitor.com/products/raspberry-pi-7-touchscreen-uperfect)
off eBay.It was cheap as it was a "certified return" sold by the
manufacturer.   Stupidly I was too slow testing all the features and
only found out that the touch screen didn't work after the eBay return
period had expired.   The seller dragged their feet until this ended
then stopped responding entirely :-(Reading reviews, the touch
screen not registering as a USB device is a common issue.  I tried
powering it using it's own dedicated 3A 5V supply and it still won't
appear in dmesg/lsusb.  I've discussed with others who have the display
and my touch screen doesn't work replicating their exact setup.

I don't usually like buying off brand Chinese tech and this has just
amplified this feeling.

The other thing I noticed is that the skin of piCorePlayer seems fairly
fixed at the 800x600 resolution of the official 7" screen.   I had to
force the above uperfect monitor to this lower resolution to get the
PiCorePlayer skin to display.I read a few posts where people had
gotten the skin to work with a higher resolution and it seemed a pretty
longwinded process.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS on Docker question

2021-06-09 Thread dorkshoei


Q on https://hub.docker.com/r/lmscommunity/logitechmediaserver

@mherger or anyone else.  Is bridged networking required?I'm trying
to setup host based networking and I'm not having any luck connecting.  
I can't see anything in the example above that indicates why bridging is
required as the mapping is 1:1.

The reason is that I'm running firewalld on the system and with bridged
networking (at least the example on the above page) ports 9000 and 9090
get opened in the public zone, at least according to nmap.  It seems
related I to:  https://github.com/firewalld/firewalld/issues/461

I'm still looking at the issue as I'm not 100% sure what is going on --
I'm running docker 20.10.6 so it has firewalld smarts per:
https://docs.docker.com/network/iptables.   I do have the docker zone.

Anyways, I was curious if it is possible to set it up using host
networking.
