Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Any Ubuntu 16.04 experiences...? Thoughts?

That's good news ; I am likely to install 16.04 later this coming week.
Did you have any problem with any plugins? I have several of Erland's
plugins such as Trackstat,Dynamic Libraries,Multilibraries to name a
few.
Thanks for testing it out

Thanks Ralphy and Julf

Got it working.

Needs libexpat1-dev as well.

Dosent seem to have a "screensaver when off" menu item so I copied
Screensaver.lua from one of my Pcp's now works fine

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 2.00

2016-04-17 Thread skikirkwood

I just got Shairport working perfectly on my IQAudio Pi-DAC+ on a
Raspberry Pi 3 running piCorePlayer 2.04.  There were two key things
that needed to be done:

Start Shairport-sync with a "-c Digital" option to operate the hardware
volume control on the DAC.
Turn off the WiFi power management on the Rasbperry Pi 3 with "sudo
iwconfig wlan0 power off".  Before discovering this I would start
getting dropped packets after 3 or 4 minutes and eventually the
Shairport stream would get backed up and had to restart.

Thanks to Mike Brady for helping me debug the Shairport issue!

While there might be a better fix for now, I used the 3 startup commands
in piCorePlayer's Tweaks -> User Commands to hack up the startup to kill
Shairport, and then restart it with the correct parameters.  Having
turned of WiFi power management and then doing a Save settings, the
power management is off after a reboot.

sudo kill -9 $(ps -e | grep shairport-sync | awk '{print $1}')
sudo rm /usr/local/var/run/shairport-sync.pid
/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/shairport-sync -a piCorePlayer -o alsa -S soxr -d -D
-R -- -d hw:CARD=IQaudIODAC -c Digital

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Any Ubuntu 16.04 experiences...? Thoughts?

2016-04-17 Thread pablolie

Other cool stuff - unlike in 12.04 LTS you don't seem to have to install
advanced media codec packages in 16.04, they seem all packaged in from
what I can tell. Furthermore 16.04 doesn't seem you to require to fuss
around with fstab to correctly mount drives, the standard "Disks"
program offers a graphical interface to mount drives on startup. Samba
also auto-installs when you say you want to share a drive in a Windows
environment. Cool stuff.

So when it becomes generally available, I'd still wait a few weeks if
you want to make sure it's rock solid - but I'd definitely totally
recommend it. For Linux newbies it is most definitely a much more user
friendly package. Can't comment on 14.04 because I jumped straight to
16.04 to 12.04.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] PicorePlayer and LMS - how to get a MONO downmix?

2016-04-17 Thread Nick L.

Hello Greg,

thanks for pointing me to the right direction. The beta option is
working fine if you don't use the equalizer. As I need the equalizer to
adjust the frequency response of my "Sonos remake", I had to finetune
the asound.conf.
The down-mix is working well now! All I have to do now is to un-comment
the five lines at the end of the asound.conf.

It would be great now to switch between a mono and a stereo-setup
without editing the asound.conf via SSH. Is there a way to do that in a
more clever way? The other option is to just have two SD cards (one for
mono and one for stereo).
Thanks for your ideas and comments.

Nick

I can confirm that -S and -G are "ignored", and no errors thrown, when
you also include -C.
For -G the gpio is never initialized or toggled and for -S the script is
never called.
I'll look into it.

Run make like this;

make PREFIX=/usr

You also need to have these at least these deb packages installed;

libluajit-5.1-dev
libsdl1.2-dev
libsdl-ttf2.0-dev
libsdl-gfx1.2-dev
libsdl-image1.2-dev

This list is from wheezy.

If I remember correctly, I just cloned the git repo, and went "make".
There were a couple of libraries I had to install, but they were pretty
self-evident.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: JiveLite - cut down squeezebox control application

2016-04-17 Thread Jeff07971

Hi All

Has anyone got a howto on how to put jivelite on a intel debian linux
system ?

I have an old laptop which I want to make into a digital picture frame
running Jivelite.

I want to select one of my Pcp2.04 systems as the "Player" and have
Jivelite display "Now playing" when the Pcp system is playing and the
"Image" screensaver when not.

I have done a search for this but can only find installations for RPi
and Cubietruck (done by me with help from Ralphy)

Any help would be appreciated !

Jeff
