Before a boat-load of time is put into something that only one or two people will ever use, can we have a quick show of hands For mounting a drive or a share containing music to the Wandboard to use it as a LMS server, who is doing what? ;) I figure the 4 choices are, you mount an NFS share from another 'nix box, mount a Windows (cifs) share (Windows or exported via samba), plug in a USB drive, (which is most likely going to be formatted either NTFS or extX), or possibly least likely for storing music, use that SATA header. The question is, how many people are mounting a remote Windows share?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Community Squeeze OS F19 Release 1
I'm a little unusual :D in that i'm using CSOS for somewhat more than it was intended, having 1 SATA and 3 USB (a mixture of ext4 and NTFS) drives permanently connected to the WB plus a couple of other USBs that get connected on occasion for backups which are all then shared over my network. Effectively, the WB has become a NAS replacement as well as LMS server and player. My main motivation for doing this is the very low energy requirements compared to running other alternatives, and in general I am very happy with its performance for all these tasks. The long term costs of running this compared to a 386 alternative, more than justified buying the Wandboard. For me, having Samba / NFS mounting available through the Web GUI is of little real consequence as I can just as easily run up a SSH session, although at times it would be handy. BUT, for others who may not so comfortable with Linux, I think this could be a much more important feature. For reference I'd suggest having a look at what Vortexbox does. From reading VB users posts here and over at the VB forum (and having spent a few months using it myself), many really appreciate the ease with which it can be set up through the Web interface with little knowledge of the underlying OS. They have a lot of novice users who care little for learning stuff like terminal commands to mount a network drive. For CSOS, i'm sure the target user base must be very similar to that of VB - if you are going to the effort of creating a whole hardware software system, why limit it to those who have the knowledge (or are prepared to learn)? I'm sure we all want as many CSOS uses as possible, be they plug'n'players or geeks like us :) I realise making all this functionality takes considerable efforts, and judging the best direction for those efforts is not my call. But I really do want to see CSOS progress and pull in plenty of new people along the way.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Community Squeeze OS F19 Release 1
OK, thanks guys. What I'm really trying to get at here, is whether anything really needs to be more complicated than what I originally did, /storage being the single mount point and either mounting a partition from a USB drive or remote fs on it. It's going to get way too complicated, when considering mounting something and then also having the gui take care of sharing the mount via samba and nfs. (That was asked for before, and is being asked for again, now.) This was already dealt with, by using the VortexBox layout of having the single mount point, /storage, and having it shared via nfs and samba out of the box. Pascal, do you always use one or the other. ie. a USB drive mounted with your media on it, or a cifs share. Not use both together? What I'm thinking is continue with /storage being the media mount. If you guys are doing things like rsync, you are using the cmd line anyway, you are not using the gui and probably have the skills to create a new directory and mount something to it. There needs to good a good out-of-the-box experience for the people who just expect to plug and play, rather than having to use editors or know about things like fstab. It almost does need to be dumbed down, I think, so someone plugs a USB drive in, it is shown visually somehow by the web-gui, and you are given an option of one or more partitions that you could mount to /storage. (Or assuming, the drive doesn't have any partitions, create one and mount it.) That's level one. Level two, for the slightly more technical, use a remote network share, in which case it is expected that you know the share details, credentials, etc. and can type them into the relevant fields. Level three, well, you're on your own there. It's called the cmd line.

To me, a network share provides the most flexible system too. One does not need to unmount and unplug a USB drive when the user wants too add music to his / her system. With a NAS or file server, the music is available to any computer on the network. I guess that level 2 already adds a certain amount of complexity.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: Squeezelite - a small headless squeezeplay emulator for linux (alsa only)
You have done a great job with squeezelite - I was able to install it on my Raspberry Pi in just a matter of minutes. It then took me a few days to realize that I needed to use a different USB WiFi since the one I was using was causing the Pi to crash nightly. But once I corrected this it has been working great. I really appreciate your time to develop the code. I know how it is - all you ever get are requests for help. And I hate to admit it but I now want to use the program in a refitted old radio I have. I am now trying to add a few buttons to the top of the Pi, or connect up the old radio buttons - I was thinking of adding 1 button for volume up, 1 for volume down, 1 for turning it off/on and possibly one to switch to the next favorites station. I was thinking of setting the buttons up to make the I/O pins on the Raspberry Pi go high when the button is pushed but I am at a total loss of how to write the code to handle this. I am hoping you can add this to the list of potential improvements or someone on this thread can point me to what I need to modify in the code in order to do this. I figure I will need to have squeezelite monitor the pins or create a new program that monitors the pins and then activates the volume up / volume down sections of the code along with activating the on / off section of the code. I figure to change the favorites I would need to send a string back to the squeezeplayer. Anyone have any ideas, does it sound doable?

The only setting I have is the output: front:CARD=DEVICE,DEV=0 Most of the other settings I've tried stop it working completely. Running on Raspberry Pi (pi-CorePlayer). However I'm starting squeezelite manually to narrow down the issue: sudo /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/squeezelite-armv6hf -z -o front:CARD=DEVICE,DEV=0 -n squeezelitepi Any suggestions? Update: if I add -a 40::16 playback is perfect but presumably limited to 16-bit (it still plays higher sampling rates) Tim Hi, I have the sale issue with a HfimeDIY Sabre U2 Async USB DAC. I need to force the output to 16 bits to avoid c#341;ackling when playing 16/44 Flac.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Boom style user interface for Community Squeeze OS
Hi rpress, Sorry, I'm not fit with compiling. Could you describe how to build the driver? I'm not sure whether it builds just a module or a full blown kernel. Thanks a lot!
