Raphy seems to have a superset of IR codes compared to buttons on the
SBT remote, of which there are only 29. Ralphy has 34 keys mapped, some
of which I presume belong to older SB remotes. I had 26 keys mapped and
Triode had 25. Given this information, I don't see the added value of
keeping the less complete sets of key-bindings, from either myself or
Triode, but I won't presume to speak for Triode. Just my suggestion.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: Squeezelite - a small headless squeezeplay emulator for linux (alsa only)

2014-01-20 Thread perplu

Have got sync issues with Squeezelite. Have finally got Squeezelite set
up as follows:

1. On Raspberry Pi out HDMI to Onkyo receiver to speakers.
- RASPBMC
- Squeezelite setup as per raspberrypi org forum post, auto-starts on
boot, etc. Works well!!! :-)
- Squeezelite -a 400

2. On Windows 7 PC as a service out HDMI to Denon AMP to speakers.
- Squeezelite -a 400

3. LMS on Synology NAS, DS109+, all music FLAC.

It doesn't stay in sync. I've played around with adjusting the -a
setting such as used: 80, 100, 500, 2 on both 1 and 2 above (BTW
2 was the worst). There are Synchronize settings for the Players in
LMS such as:
- Player Start Delay (ms)
- Player Audio Delay (ms)
- Network Packet Latency (ms).

I tried one or two changes here for each player but no luck. There's
possibly an optimal or best configuration and I wondered if anyone has
come up with this already.

Whatever you (and others) think best. I don't use FLIRC.

I also thought about this from a packaging point of view

FLIRC-1.2.0-1
Install...

Code:


  sudo csos-cleanInstall-testing Flirc
  



The (rpi) flirc_util static binary (which Ralphy said works on the WB),
and the 3 config files.

Code:


  $ rpm -ql Flirc
  /etc/flirc
  /etc/flirc/dsdreamer_jivelite_flirc_map.fcfg
  /etc/flirc/ralphy_jivelite_flirc_map.fcfg
  /etc/flirc/triode_jivelite_flirc_map.fcfg
  /usr/bin/flirc_util
  



I've mailed FLIRC for clarification about the license as there is none
contained in the zip file. If it can't be re-distributed I'll have to
pull the bin and just leave the config files in the package.

I am willing to make a comparison and report back here. IMO, we need two

OK, I switched over from ethernet to wi-fi yesterday afternoon,
following the problem report. Over 24 hours now, and I've not seen any
issues. Switched between 2 different wireless routers a couple of times.
That hasn't caused any problems either.

Are you using Doede's custom Sowter transformer or cap coupled passive
out? 

(I've only got a single deck which is used in conjunction with a Broskie
Unbalancer tube output stage. It was the first USB DAC I ever used with
the WB, and is the main DAC connected to my non-development Wandboard
that I use for headphone listening while I'm "working".)

If you are not a NOS zealot, which I doubt you are if you can get over
the concept of a sigma-delta DAC being the nucleus of a non-oversample
DAC. Try upampling via squeezelite with DDAC1794. Tick the upsample
checkbox on the squeezelite web gui page, put "vM::2" into the upsample
options textfield next to it, "Save and Conditionally Restart". If you
have the latest firmware on the WaveIO, you'll be upsampling 44k1 (and
multiples) to 352k8 and 48k (and multiples) to 384k. (176k4 and 192k if
earlier WaveIO firmware revision.) You probably also want to increase
alsa buffer and period size too. Put "35280:8820::" in the alsa params
field on the squeezelite config page, "Save and Conditionally Restart".
Give it a try. Oversample via squeezelite is much preferable to the
built-in OS and DF most of the current breed of DAC chips. Oversample
and DF per-se isn't evil, it's the quality of the implementation of it,
something John Swenson, designer of the Community Squeeze DAC board, is
a firm believer in too.

It's already dropped. Or to be precise it's dropped from the F20
release, onwards. (Which is probably for the best as it causes more
problems than it solves when people switch from the default sgtl5000
device to another without clearing it.)

Maybe it doesn't sound as bad as it measures! ;) It's something I always
meant to come back to figuring out the why, but always at or near the
bottom of the list as it has a work-around. And it goes away with the
mainline sgtl5000 driver for the F20 release so it is moot now anyway.

JackOfAll, Any chance we could, in a future release, drop this cunning

actually find on my Wandboards that the levels of distortion to the

I've tried a search but got nowhere.  This thread is massive

I've got the Wandboard Dual working and I can see the Squeezelite Player
Configuration and Control settings Ok.  I've changed the audio device to
"front:card=L20,Dev=0" with no joy, I've also tried 
"iec958:card=L20,Dev=0" again no joy.  I've left all other parameters
the same.  Alsa is ::16: which was the default.

Any ideas?

cheers

Behringer and noise!? What a surprise! :rolleyes:

I know it's hard to tell I'm being sarcastic, but I am. ;)

I've just soldered the HiFiBerry and got it working, very impressed with
the SQ even though it's a rubbish sound system here at work. Looking
forward to trying it out at home this evening. 

BTW: Love this thread. ;)

kev,

You should have received a PM. Any problems, need any other help, post
here to the forum thread rather than PM'ing me. If I'm not around, (or
even if I am), there are a few wise old heads who monitor this thread
and will hopefully be able to jump in and help.

It's detailed back a few pages on this thread, but the image access is

front:CARD=CODEC,DEV=0

Nope, that doesn't fix it either.

To be honest you do need to be listening carefully to hear the clicks.
They are well-spaced out, seemingly random and quite low level. So, for
example, they could be confused with the picking of a guitar.

But then I'm a perfectionist! If you were to run the UCA202 into an amp
(rather than the headphones I'm using) I suspect that the clicks would
vanish into the general background noise of household activity.

Incidentally, out of pure curiosity, I fed the *optical* out from the
UCA202 into the Fiio E17 to see whether the noise was appearing on the
TOSlink output and, sure enough, it was. This suggests the noise (or
whatever it is) is getting in on the digital side of the UCA202, rather
than the analogue. Also interesting is that with a track paused I still
get very very occcasional pops - like one perhaps every minute but it's
not regular. So I'm pretty-well convinced this has nothing to do with
buffering and everything to do with poor UCA202 noise isolation of the
USB lines. Hell, it's only a £27 DAC! :D

In contrast the E17 is a much better product - but also a lot more
expensive. For a start there's absolutely no audible noise at all from
the headphone output at high volumes. The same can't be said for the
UCA202 which is very hissy.

Interestingly, the Fiio E17 works perfectly with the RPi, no snap,
crackle or pop... ...until you switch to hw:DACE17 for output. Then the
sound breaks up. So I presume buffering is applied when using
sysdefault, but not when using hw.

No problem for me. I'll stick with the "-o sysdefault:DACE17" setting!

With the UCA202, use the device that starts with   "front:"  (I'm not at

OK, got to the bottom of this.

Two things:

1) I was running SqueezeLite 1.4 whereas the latest release is 1.5. A
simple update fixed that.

2) I still had Alsa ( -a xxx:x ) settings in place which it seems
conflict with the -o hw:CARD command. SqueezeLite v.1.5 traps this and
brings up the help menu which is when I realised the Alsa settings
conflicted.

So SqueezeLite is now working OK with -o hw:CARD. Unfortunately it makes
absolutely no difference to the clicks when using the UCA202 which I
think are the consequence of noise on the USB power/signal lines and
that the UCA202 probably has very limited noise filtering.

If I get the chance, I will try a USB isolator with the UCA202 to see
whether it makes any difference. I've ordered a low-cost one from China
but it may not arrive in time before I have to return the UCA202 to
Amazon (within 30 days of purchase).

The isolator has a built-in DC-to-DC converter which is supposed to
reduce noise transfer, but we'll see!

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

2014-01-20 Thread avmoron

I have recently changed from squeezeplug to picoreplayer 1.10  on my
512mb pi. I have connected to pioneer amp via HDMI, I have added the 32
0 settings. On testing wma radio stations play fine, Spotify is good as
well as AAC  radio stations. But when I try to play a wma lossless track
( which plays fine on a squeezebox touch) I get massive noise which is
like rhythmic splashing although the music can be heard underneath this
noise, I have noticed that the top command shows that the squeezelite
cpu is up at 96 to 98% effectively the pi is maxed out. Has anyone
successfully streamed  wma lossless using hdmi and picoreplayer 1.10.
any help would be appreciated.

Strange. I've just tried this with a UCA202 and squeezelite "crashes" at
boot-up ie, it isn't running when I log into the RPi. If I try and set
it up by entering the command manually, LMS doesn't see the device. In
fact, something appears to crash at the system level because I have to
reboot using sysdefault to get things back to normal...

First, sorry for the double post. Yes, Lame is installed correctly, i
can play mp3 files and also mp3 files that are converted on server level
to different bitrate mp3. 
It's just the conversion from Flac to mp3 that gives problems.

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

2014-01-20 Thread praganj

After playing few days with piCorePlayer i noticed few things:

1. LMS Server IP doesn't work, it was already mentionned here

2. Changing Stream/Output buffer doesn't work, i can change the
Stream/Output buffer, restart Squeezelite, but the buffer settings are
not present in squeezelite command line

3. Using sysdefault:CARD=XXX causes very high CPU load, changing it to
hw:CARD=XXX solves the problem. I checked it with two USB DACs -
WaveIO/BII and Behringer UCA-202.
after changing sysdefault into hw the squeezelite cpu load has
changed from 80% (WaveIO)/40%(UCA 202) to ~2-3%
squeezelite -l is not showing hw devices, but they are present.

But the most important is:

- wonderfull sound with USB DACs :) :) :)
- easy integration in existing Squeeze* world :) :) :)

thanks for this wonderfull software :) :) :)

OK thanks Steen. BTW, there is already a list of DACs compatible with
the RPi here although it doesn't test specific compatibility with
SqueezeLite. It gives max sample rates and also whether the DACs are
synchronous or asynchronous.

2014-01-20 Thread CommanderROR

@steen

Upsampling everything to 192k works fine with the parameter -u X
CPU useage goes up to 30-40% but there are no issues as far as I can
tell. 

For the next version of picoreplayer, can you recommend using the "hw" 
string instead of "sysdefault" in Squeezelite options? This seems to be
a lot better and is the only way to use upsampling without high CPU
useage... 

Now I'd really like to know what the advantages of upsampling when using
the HiFiBerry are? I had no noticeable problems without it and would
like to know if I should keep the settings or not.
