 I may need to switch Linux distros on my main PC just to get LMS working

 piCorePlayer without issues.
  I am running LMS 7.7.2 on a CentOS 6.5 system. It discovers all players

 the firewall, installing missing packages, etc., ...
Assuming the network configuration of your Windows and Linux PC are
similar, this could be a firewall issue. If you are on an internal
network, behind a NAT router, why not turn off the firewall completely
and see what happens?

 Hi,
 In Wiki I read that : SqueezeLite is capable of utilizing Logitech
 Media Server's client synchronization feature which allows grouping
 clients for simultaneous, synchronized music playback.
 Following my test, the listening doesn't seem synchronized.
 On Windows, what should I do to enable this feature?
 

It sounds like you don't know how to synchronize the players?
Go to the LMS management webpage, and drop down the players dropdown box
in the right top corner. Choose Synchronize...

That's probably because the 96k track is higher than the max sample rate
of your DAC and it's using the transcode recipe, rather than your
recipe. Locate flc flc transcode * in convert.conf, and apply your
44k1 recipe to that as well.

triode, when you have 2 mins Something I just noticed. squeezelite

From log...

  [01:05:12.024509] discover_server:705 got response from: 192.168.0.54:3483

Well, 192.168.0.54 is the wanboard, (and would result in it connecting
to the same server instance as using localhost, although I figure only
by luck), but the question is, why is it even trying to use discovery
when I gave it -s IP? Maybe a bug introduced when you added the save

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Setting up a linux squeezebox server - any advice?

2014-01-11 Thread Guut_Boy

I got it installed very easily using an external CD-drive via usb. 
Overall my fear that vortexbox would be complicated was put to shame. My
only difficulties was

1) That the ethernet connection apparently does not work if you use a
broken ethernet cable (doh!)
2) The auto-ripper by default rips to FLAC, while I would prefer 320kbps
MP3. Its not very well documented how to achieve this, however, it was
actually quite easy once you find the ripper config file
(/etc/ripit/config).

So far I am super happy about the set up. Vortexbox is very cool and
easy to use. I love the simple web-interface and the auto-ripper. The
downside is that the Aspire Revo is slightly more noisy than I had
hoped. I guess I will have to find a closet somewhere to stick it in :).

 Hi 
 I have the same problem as johnyb62 with my wireless pi. Running LMS 7.8

 works better now, but playback still stops. 
 
 I think there is two scenarios. First playback can be restored from the
 Logitech app, secondly the pi needs a reboot.
 
 Is there any usefull logs that can be extracted?

Been running a pi for about a month 24/7 with audio spontaneously
stopping or sometimes outputting a thumping noise. Thought it might be a
Pandora issue but it's happened once with local mp3s... generally
pressing the soft power button off and on will fix things for a while.
Are others having this issue using a USB DAC?

Running 1.10 with a M2Tech HiFace II playing through a Rega DAC.  Anyone
know how to lock the volume in piCorePlayer to 100% - I don't want any
digital volume control at all.  I've always appreciated this feature in
my SqueezeBox touch.

Searching through this forum I've found a couple mentions to this but

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCoPlayer = Squeezelite on Microcore linux. .An embedded OS in RAM with Squeezelite

2014-01-11 Thread ctownj30

Maybe the answer to my last post about locking the volume will address
this, but thought I'd go ahead and post some findings.

I've spent the afternoon comparing my totally stock SqueezeBox Touch to
my new piCorePlayer, using the M2Tech HiFace II USBSPDIF.  Both players
using ethernet connection playing from the same server.  Downstream
gear:  Rega DAC, Plinius 9200 integrated, KEF R700 speakers, various
Nordost cables.

To power the piCore I tried two different configurations:  1)  Samsung
tablet 2 amp power supply directly into the RPi with the HiFace plugged
directly into the RPi, and 2) with the tablet power supply running the
RPi only, and a separate low noise linear power supply running the
HiFace (using a USB power injector).  I heard no differences between the
two power configurations.

I had really high hopes for the piCore+HiFace combination - figured the
low-jitter SPDIF adapter would trump the output on the Touch, but I'm
pretty disappointed.  Using various high-bitrate tracks, the difference
in sound quality hit you like a ton of bricks.  The PiCore combo sounded
relatively flat - reduced soundstage and clarity.  Lot less air in the
sound, almost like there is a roll-off at the highest frequencies.  Not
what I would call bad, but when compared to the Touch, just no contest. 
My wife has better ears then me and when I gave her a blind A/B test she
had a pretty visceral no comparison reaction.

My goal was to use the RPi as the heart of a 2nd bedroom system, but if
I cannot get this sounding better I'll be finding another Touch
somewhere.

Has anyone else done any critical comparisons of a piCorePlayer relative
to other digital transports?  Maybe the HiFace is not as good as the
various web reviews say?  Maybe there is some setting or tweak in
piCorePlayer.  What else could I be missing?
