Hi bitlisz.

HiFiBerry DAC/DAC+ do not support native DSD playback. You have to tell
squeezelite that your Pi does not support native DSD before the the LMS
DSDPlayer plugin allows you to configure the Soxr re-sampling options. 

If you open the piCorePlayer webpage you can disable native DSD support
by entering -e dsd in the Various input textbox on the Squeezelite
Settings page. Submit the setting and reboot your Pi.

Restart LMS just to be sure. You should now be able to configure the the
DSD plugin. Be sure to disable Enable DSD-over PCM!

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

2015-02-05 Thread Meridion

I'm having a strange problem playing back FLAC files gapless(ly) and I
need some help...

I don't know if this is related to upgrading squeezelite to 1.8-dev,
upgrading lubuntu or replacing my AV receiver (XMC-1).

My setup is:

- ODROID/max2play connected directly to an Emotiva/XMC-1 DAC through
  USB or through HDMI
- squeezlite 1.8-dev (Build options: LINUX ALSA EVENTFD RESAMPLE
  FFMPEG VISEXPORT)
- squeezelite parameters (USB-DAC): -o plughw:CARD=XMC1,DEV=0 -a
  320::: -p 90
- squeezelite parameters (HDMI): -o plughw:CARD=Audio1,DEV=0 -a
  120::16:
  

If I play some flac files back-to-back (same sampling rates), squeezlite
shows this debug log:


Code:


  [12:48:14.053728] output_thread:630 open output device: plughw:CARD=XMC1,DEV=0

  [...]
  



So the songs should actually play without gaps. But actually they do not
in my setup. I get some short garbled sound at the beginning of the new
song, as if the DAC had to resync or it would receive some bad data. The
first few ms of every song do not get played. It's exactly the same
using audio over HDMI.

It is not the same garbled sound every time if I skipped back to the
beginning of the song (resulting in output_flush:418 flush output
buffer). If there is short silence at the beginning of the new song, no
garbled sound can be heard anyway. This helps while listing...

My personal analysis: If playback would be gapless, then the DAC/AVR
would not recognize the start of a new song. It would just receive an
'endless' stream of data. Right? So this seems to be a buffering/driver
problem or an error at the player side?

I tried adjusting buffer sizes, but I think 320ms should be more than
enough.  

Any ideas of possible ajustments or changes in my setup?

Hi guys,

Use the Various input field for adding additional options. This will
add -e dsd to the squeezelite command line,

Using Device supports DoP will add the -D option before the -e dsd
so it will add -D -e dsd to the squeezelite command line.

Please note, the Explicitly exclude native support of one or more
codecs is currently not included on the Squeezelite settings page of
piCorePlayer.

Hi
What do you need the power for?  Heavy transcoding /resampling? Or do
you permanently scan your library? 
Otherwise the cubie is my  favorite. It has sata, GB-Ethernet and
toslink. A 2.5 disk fits into the case. What do you want more.

Scan would not be faster, since it is single threaded. The normal search
should not be so power consuming. The quad has sata,  that would be
nice. I don't like the odroid, since it does have neither gb Ethernet
nor sata. 
Compilation of new software would be faster, since it utilizes all
cores.

Agreed, but to be fair it was only the Pi that wasn't adequate, with
it's single core, 2 generation old ARM11 CPU core. For £35 quid you
could pick up a BananaPi. Sure you've only got 2x CPU cores, but it is
ARMv7. (AllWinner A20 SoC.) You've got the Gig of RAM. Plus you've got
onboard IR, a SATA port, and a proper eth port. (The last two, top of
my requirements list, as well as CPU, for a LMS server.) To be frank
dual core ARMv7 is more than adequate for LMS duty. It was only ever
really the Pi's that were lacking in that regard. ;) Anyway, choice is a
good thing.. Pick your poison. 

My main LMS server has been based on a Cubietruck for the past year.
(That's also an A20 SoC.) Haven't yet found anything I could throw at
it, would cause it to burp.

I have a Dual and a friend wants to set up a Squeeze system. So am
wondering if I should give him my Dual an maybe upgrade - if it would be
an upgrade.

Scanning the library should be quick, but most of all the search feature
should be fast. 

So would there be a difference?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: Squeeze on Arch - developer version

2015-02-05 Thread pimd

Since the last update i'm experiencing play back problems. Im using a
Raspberry Pi B+ with a Hifiberry Digi+ board. Sound stops after a few
seconds and after a while the music will start again. For a short time
though.

With SOA from a month ago everything played perfectly. I'm not shure
where to look. It could be the 3.18 kernel, the Digi+ drivers. 
Changing buffer size doesn't seem to make any difference.

Error logs give me some of these messages but i'm not shure what they
mean:

[23:25:17.232199] stream_thread:278 poll timeout
[23:25:17.332731] stream_thread:278 poll timeout

 Anyone can confirm what happens this time?

The 705kPs info on squeezeboxes are bogus it's says that for all
lossless transcoding whatever the real rate, it's just a place holder .
The UI part of the software does not really know .
It's an very old bug (as long as squeezeboxes existed , but it's
cosmetic so no one diverts any dev time to it ) .

You can spy on the transcoding commandline in the server.log by setting
some log options . settings /advanced /logging there is a prepared log
set called transcoding and you can manually pick some stuff that seems
related .
I don’t remember the exact choices that's usually recommended , search
some old tread about that .

This usually works fine , actually not heard of case when some one got
the wrong rate . Unless they made a mess of their file types settings or
similar or invoked bitrate limiting to mp3 ( a player setting ).

The rules are that the least capable player decides the target rate . If
you have a Touch it supports 24/96 fine LMS give you 24/96 . If you have
a Boom ok LMS give you 24/48 . And importantly if you synchronise
several players for example a Touch and a Boom you get 24/48 .
So if you want to maximise the sample rate don’t sync with less capable
players .

I think squeezelite supports  24/192 depending on the hardware it's runs
on ? Here someone more knowledgeable can tell how squeezelite decides
that .
