[SlimDevices: Unix] Squeezelite on PI3, interruptions every ~5 secs

2017-01-27 Thread chbla

Hi there,

I want to use a PI3 connected to my audio receiver as a squeezelite
player.
So far it is working if I start with only: squeezelite -o
default:CARD=ALSA -s 192.168.1.23

However, every 5 seconds sound shuts off and seems to start over (volume
goes from low to high) - what did I miss here?

Thank you!

- mount /var/log as tmpfs ?
- strange syslog daemon config?
- some startupscript ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Can't connect to LMS after reboot

2017-01-27 Thread MartinK

My problem in indeed related to the missing log files. Every time I
reboot the directory /var/log/squeezeboxserver disappears. If I manually
create a directory and a stub for server.log and start LMS manually
everything is fine. 

How strange is that? Apart from samba there is nothing running on my
server.

If I create additional dummy files in var/log they also get deleted
after a reboot. What on earth would cause this to happen?? I don't even
know where to look

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite for piCorePlayer

2017-01-27 Thread Michael Herger

You don't really need either the "<<" or ">>" as the little blue spot on
the bar showing the position of the time to play / played is sticky
allowing a swipe to skip either forward or backward.


Well, they're there to skip to previous/next tracks, too. Skipping back 
is missing. But I rarely go back to the beginning of a track. But often 
want to skip a track and go to the next right away.


I'm currently looking into a way to make the buttons configurable. But 
I'm rather new to skin programming :-).



Excellent idea Michael, uses the screen area to advantage. It would be
over the top to suggest that a swipe on the cover would bring up the
back.jpg and any other local artwork, wouldn't it?


Again: I'm pretty new to this. And even getting the buttons to work on 
top of the artwork made me scratch my head. I tend to believe that there 
is a bug in the underlying code which would not respect the z-order when 
touching UI elements. Eg. even if a button is on top of the artwork, and 
the artwork has a touch handler, then that latter would be executed 
instead of the button's. IMHO that's wrong. But I fear with my little 
knowledge of the code I'd break more than I'd fix if I tried to change 
this behaviour fundamentally...

Ok I was just thinking that the PI delivered with rather flimsy PSU . (

Would fair better with a powered external drive they are usually 3,5"

For music I'm good with USB drives as big as they are available today.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite for piCorePlayer

2017-01-27 Thread Michael Herger

As you see I've removed most of the control buttons at the bottom. What
choice of buttons would you want to have there?

I don't see the skip backward "<<" button.


That doesn't directly answer my question. But I guess what you wanted to 
say is that you'd like to have the back button there?


Yes, there's currently only play/pause, forward and volume. Because 
that's the ones I use the most. FWD is important to get rid of the 
accidental bad track quickly :-).



Also, if the volume has been
set for 100%, can the volume up and down buttons be removed?


Hmm... good question. I'm not sure whether JiveLite even knows about 
that volume setting. How do the other skins behave when volume is fixed?

2017-01-27 Thread Michael Herger

that looks good to me. one thing that bugs me is the lack of a decent
generic picture
something nicer than a grey blob would be nicer for those without
artwork :)


If you don't have artwork, then you should probably not use the "large 
artwork" screensaver ;-).


I wonder how hard it would be for someone to come up with something 
better and provide it as a minimalist plugin or skin...
