Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] PiCorePlayer cuts out.
I have a Logitech Squeezebox connected to an LMS box based on kubuntu, all wired and recently it has been dropping out regularly. I haven't bothered to try to sort this problem, but I must say I can't understand random attacks of particular products with the complainers having exactly no information of any value. My own suspicion is that the player is synced to a transporter that's on standby.

The alternative source of gaps is squeezelite and the pi hardware. Turning on squeezelite logging would be appropriate - I don't know how to enable squeezelite logging on picoreplayer . Why is proxying enabled on LMS - it is usually enabled to solve a problem as it is off by default ? if it is enabled to solved a problem - what was the problem ? bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106411 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

If stations are selected using Tune-in then it is likely they are played "direct" - the TCP stream goes straight from station to player and LMS is not involved unless LMS has enabled proxying. What system is LMS running on (e.g. Windows , Linux) and system spec ? Is network proxying enabled on LMS ? What is the nature of the "cut out" - is it gaps of silence inserted into the audio stream or gaps of silence replacing parts of the audio streams. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106411 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] PiCorePlayer cuts out.
Im using tunein radio, the one that cuts out is using a Raspberry Pi2 with PiCorePlayer installed connected (wired) to the LMS. I also have a Squeeze radio connected (wirelessly) to the LMS and that doesn't cut out whilst listening to the same station. Its happening on the BBC stations and commercial stations. jdenver's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65902 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106411 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Hi Paul I did install the additional file system support (at least I think I did, currently there is a "remove" button active on pCP LMS tab, so expect that this is installed? see below). I dont seem to get tooltips, but there is the "more" option which gives some information. First question: under "Setup Network Disk Mount" what am I filling in at the "Mount point /mnt/" dialogue? Is this a name I choose that pCP will create a "directory" or "path" or is it related to the NAS I want it to find? You see, showing my poor network and Linux knowledge here I am using a Netgear router and the attached NAS has the following information: 21462 On the pCP LMS tab, what do I fill into the "Server IP Address" and "Server Share". The path name for the drive I intend to put the media in is"\\readyshare\USB_Storage\slimserver" - of course I can create any folder but this is the current one I am using. 21463 This is my current LMS tab on the pCP with my current effort that is not working: 21461 Thanks for any advice Arthur +---+ |Filename: path 911.png | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=21463| +---+ ArtiB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66237 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105997 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

It must be just me then, I'm really scared to post here because I get torn a new one almost Everytime I post. About your question I am pretty sure it can do what you want.

The BBC stream issue is related to using the BBCiPlayer playing chunked http streams with a Windows based LMS and where the player needs transcoding. AFAIK picoplayer has AAC and so there is no transcoding unless the user has changed LMS settings. The OP needs to providemore details on - LMS platform - whether Pi is connected using wireless or not and if wireless is it using on board wifi on a Pi3 - what stream is being played and is it many streams or just one specific one. - what sort of "cut out" - is it a stall where audio has silence inserted into stream but no audio is actually lost or is it a case of audio is being lost and silence replaced the audio. Only with the above info will it make it possible to decide which logging to enable to diagnose the issue. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106411 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
