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

[dls]

I'm still struggling to get 3 instances of squeezelight working on the
same computer. The first one starts up ok, second & third report 

[17:00:48.972562] alsa_open:313 buffer: 40 period: 4 -> buffer size:
1764 period size: 441
[17:00:48.975978] ALSA snd_pcm_hw_prepare:559 SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PREPARE
failed (-32)
[17:00:48.976056] alsa_open:330 unable to set hw params: Broken pipe
[17:00:53.976193] output_thread:465 open output device:
hw:CARD=VX1_2,DEV=0

The command to start squuezelite works for each instnces on its own, but
not if an instance is already running. Each instance is using run using
-o (VX1, VX1_1, VX1_2) & -m (00:00:00:00:00:01, 00:00:00:00:00:02,
00:00:00:00:00:03)

I think I have removed Pulseaudio to eliminate that as a factor.

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

[spedinfargo]

Got my RPI rev B in the mail today and got it set up (great
instructions, didn't take long to get up and running).

I have the player showing up in my LMS now but when I hook it up to my
receiver (Pioneer SC-77) via HDMI I get terrible distortion and it
sounds like it's playing at about 1/2 speed or less.  It does this on a
few FLAC files I tried (I think all just standard redbook CD rips) and
then also Pandora and Rhapsody streams.

Any ideas?  Is there a setting that I need to set up on my LMS for this
player as well?

Thanks

Howard,

Great info...thanks for the email you sent as well as sharing your info
with the forum.  I may pick one up...since I know it will work based on
your feedback...I just wish the the antenna was removable as I would
love to keep the usb adapter in my enclosure and then mount a connector
to the outside of the box for the antenna. 

I am anxious to hear from anyone else who had a detachable antenna.

Thanks!

Dan

Hi Dan,

So I got a little curious and tried moving my RPI around the house and
outside at the end of my pool. I connected it to my Xfinity router and
my Trendnet, both on the first floor of my home, but at different ends. 
For some reason when I tried to switch from any other SSID to XFINITY, I
had to reboot the RPI.  I coud switch from any other SSID including
XFINITYWIFI, but not XFINITY.  Anyway, below are the results I got. 
Just to give you an idea, I live in a 2300 sq ft Colonial style home.
It's probably 34 linear feet from the xfinity router to the floor below
where the RPI was for the diagonal test. I have no idea what the angle
is to calculate the footage.  There are 3 wireless routers in my house
and anywhere from 5 to 15 wireless devices running at any time and lots
of other RI from lots of sources.  I know this isn't very technical, but
it may give you an idea if the LB-Link BL-LW05-AR5 will work for you. 
Howard

Thanks for the tenba model.  I may have used the wrong antenna connector
type in my message not sure about the difference between a SMB and a SMA
connector...just looking for something detachable for the purposes of
mounting it to an enclosure.  Here is a link to the model I
referenced...wish I knew is this chipset is supported in picoreplayer.

Hi Dan,

I'm the one who put the LB Link on the list.  I can't say how far it
will work because I am still plugging my RPI to USB for power, but I
have no issue with it when using it in my house at all.

If there's anything I can do to check it out for you, let me know in an
email.

Bests,
Howard

It looks like it pretty well supports everything then!  High Def music
files are a waste of disk space and processing cycles, so I am quite
happy to stick to 16/44.1 Red Book as long as it can decode the file
format.

I find it frustrating there is so much concentration on high definition
when the BIG issue is increasing the availability of uncompressed
formats (FLAC, ALAC and WMA lossless) as well as less compression /
better mastering of CDs.

Could you please update installation script to allow running soa-aur on

I'm using a Tenda w311u+ with picoreplayer, and it has no problems with
new versions. I cannot tell you about 5db antenna (original is 3,5db),
but it's a little bit better than my previous nano type adapter.

I looking to get better reception while using my picoreplayer in the
backyard.  I am currently using the edimax 7811 nano wifi adapter.  In
looking at the main picoreplayer website, there is a listing of wifi
adapters that people have successfully used. Being a linux newbie, my
question is, are only certain wifi adapters supported, or is it that
specific chipsets are supported?  If it is chipsets, is there a listing
of chipsets that work?  I am trying to find a usb wifi adapter that has
a SMB connector for an external antenna.  I was considering the Rosewill
RNX-N180UBE, but it does not show up on picoreplayer's website.  This
adapter uses the Realtek Wireless LAN RTL8191SU for its chipset...do you
think this will be supported?  The only wifi adapter on the list that
has an external antenna is this one:  LB-Link BL-LW05-AR5150mps 5dbi
antenna  but this is not a well known name and the antenna connector
does not appear to be SMB (looks a little weak).

Any suggestions for an external antenna wifi adapter that will work with
picoreplayer will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Would 32ms perhaps be roughly the duration of a frame? In which case,
given the use of snd_pcm_delay(), perhaps that's the best resolution
obtainable. Sorry if I'm off the mark here; I really know nothing about
sound processing.
