Hi skate,

We are working on adding this and if you are using pCP1.19i there is
some preliminary code that I can tell you how to activate if you would
like to do some testing for us.

At this stage it is only for eth0.

Greg

2015-04-19 Thread Greg Erskine

Hi guys,

Thanks for reporting your issues. We are looking into them.

For people with settings not being maintained after a reboot can you
check if you have a "newconfig.cfg" on your boot partition. If you do
delete it. Then do your settings again.

I have a feeling insitu upgrades are not working 100%.

regards
Greg

Since I was getting distortion on HDMI, I switched to USB. Once I got
the right Alsa settings (thanks previous posts), I got USB working. No
distortion at 44k, 96k, 192k, 176k etc. And I've DSD over DOP working
for the first time. Pretty cool. As usual thanks to all coders and
posters.

Same here, I'm hearing ticks and small dropouts every so often through
HDMI. I tried to change the alsa settings but they don't seem to be kept
through reboots with 1.19i. Is this normal ?

Michal,

Glad you got it installed. As to your jivelite problem, the short answer
I don't know what's happened there.  But if you can connect to your
Wandbaord as root via SSH you could check the "pacman.log" to see it the
correct packages where both installed and then removed, e.g.


Code:


  grep jivelite* /var/log/pacman.log
  



You should see both jivelite and jivelite-autologin installed as a pair,
and then jivelite-autologin and jivelite removed in that order.

I'm not an Arch user, but IIRC if you find the jivelite packages are
still in cache you might be able to install them manually. e.g:

a. find them


Code:


  cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg
  ls -l jive*
  



b. install them from var/cache/pacman/pkg, e.g:

Code:


  pacman -U jivelite-r76.de07c79-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz
  



Otherwise, it's possilby a re-install.  But in future if you have a 
skin selection problem in "jivelite"  you don't have to re-install
jivelite, just delete the jivelite settings ( a hidden directory ) and
reboot 

As root via SSH


Code:


  rm -rf /home/jilvelite/.jivelite
  



Note the dot

Thanks Krisbee for your help.
It turned out that I had some problems with the SD card, used different
card and SoA installed :)

I installed jivelite, but then unistalled it (got problems with skin and
thought it will be faster to reinstall it and choose skin again).
Now when I try install it again I got the following error

I'll send Steen an email and try to find out what he is trying to
achieve with those hdmi settings by default. I don't think ignoring of
audio EDID info from the connected device with "hdmi_force_edid_audio=1"
by default is a wise move. If someone knows that the EDID detection
doesn't work with their *specific* device, then sure, add the setting to
force the Pi thinking it is capable of sample rates up to 192k. But
if you know that your HDMI device isn't capable of 192k audio (and I
have 2 that are not) ... If you know that your device has EDID that
is read correctly by the Pi, and thus the sample rates that it is
capable of can be correctly set from that, again, IMHO it doesn't make
sense to force the Pi into thinking it is capable of more than it
actually is.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite for piCorePlayer

2015-04-19 Thread Krisbee

Ralphy,

My impression is a lot of people run picoreplayer on a headless setup. 
Have you given any thought to a configuration that runs jivelite on a
virtual framebuffer with Xvfb which you could connect to via vnc?  So,
potentially you could get jivelite displayed on a tablet for example,
rather than use a 3rd party app as a controller.

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

2015-04-19 Thread hsmeets

Hi,

I (tried) to upgrade from 1.19 to 1.19I, the RPI 2 version.

Following:

Insitu update failed: after downloading and unpacking it failed, ended
with a generic error that there was an error (but no further
description) on the webpage


I continued with downloaded the image and put it on the SD Card.

Following was observed:

newconfig.txt to connect directly with wifi: 

I entered my wifi data and saved the file to the SDcard. When booting it
did not connect to my wifi network. After hooking up a network cable and
accessing the picoreplayer webconfig I found that it copied the SSID
from newconfig.txt including the surrounding quotes. After correcting
this it still failed to connect. I reentered the wifi password as I
suspected that here also the quotes. That solved it and the wifi
connection was up and running.

Squeezelite setings:

1) on the squeezelite config loglevel all=debug and logfile test8 are
set

2) changes do not survive a boot

I changed the output device to my HifiBerry card and removed the debug
info. PcP says it activated it and saved the settings. But after a
reboot the settings are back at the analog output and the debug entries
have also returned. (changed wifi setting did survive the boot btw).
Several attempts failed.

3) Tweaks page cannot be accessed (already reported by others).

4) judging the dmesg output: the filesystem dirty bit is no longer an
issue as it was in v1.19


For now I reverted back to 1.19awaiting 1.19J :-)

Thanks,

Huib



does the all-black SB sound better than the white SB?
