In my system, with the display off, I opened an ssh session and did a
"sudo reboot"  the display came up fine on reboot, and went back off
when jivelite started.   This screen is less that 6 months old, I'm not
sure if there is a newer version or not.

The "save to USB" approach is not going to backup your piCorePlayer
image. It is simply a method to save your config file with the new name:
newconfig.cfg on the USB stick.

So if you then boot a fresh copy of pCP with the USB inserted it should
read the "newconfig.cfg" file so that you have e new pCP with your
current setup. It is a way to update pCP via USB stick or to setup a
piZero (without keyboard or connection).

Ok, I did a simple dd for the first couple of 800 64K blocks so it will
cover most of the payload of the disk. Booting the new device worked
fine.

Code:

dd if=/dev/ of=/dev/ bs=65k count=800




still not sure how the backup and Save to USB function are supposed to
work.

[SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer - Backup fails

2017-03-13 Thread th00ht

the piCorePlayer is awesome but I need to replace the uSD stick for a
smaller one. Therefor I thought: make a backup, prepare a new uSD card
and restore the backup.

Clicking Save to USB results in

Code:

 piCorePlayer
  
  [ INFO ] Mounting /mnt/sda1...
  
  [ ERROR ] /mnt/sda1 has NOT mounted.
  
  [ ERROR ] Insert USB stick and try again.



Clicking Backup gives no errors

But both seem to do nothing to a USB attached memory stick with ample
space (8GB)

Is my approach right? Is there another way to copy the current image to
another? Should I attempt a dd?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.00

2017-03-13 Thread Linvincible

Hello,

I am trying the Hifiberry Digi+pro, after the Kali couldn't issue a
stable signal.
This time when selecting the propoer driver "Hifiberry Digi+pro"
squeezelite doesn't restart.
I rebooted many times, tried to change the settings back and forth
between Hifiberry DAC Light+ and Hifiberry Digi+pro and it didn't help.
Squeezelite will restart fine when using Hifiberry DAC Light+, but then
the Digi+pro is totally ignored and output signal on I2S connector (P6)
is the same as the one from the Pi...

Has anyone here tested the Digi+pro with Pcp 3.11?

Regards,

Charles

I'd suggest starting with just resetting the jivelite configuration.

On the tweaks page, might need to be in advanced mode under the jivelite
section click the reset button.  Jivelite will restart and you'll have
to setup your configuration again.
Make sure the player jivelite is controlling is the local squeezelite
running on the rpi as the DisplayOff is not availabe to configure when
controlling an external player.  But works for the any player after the
When Off setup is complete.

>From what I've read the newer firmware remembers the backlight state
between reboots, so if the on/off gets out of sync with the DisplayOff
applet, you need to backup your config, shutdown pcp, unplug the power,
wait 5 minutes and try again.  I'm still working on a fix for this.

Then, if you still have the problem, try reflashing your sd card with a
fresh image.

Thanks drmatt!

The first problem now seems intermittent, so very hard to get closer to
what might be causing it. Regarding the second, I have it down to a
aplit second of noise now, after removing the module from modules-load
and firing off a small stream of silence through a udev rule when the
DAC is plugged/discovered at startup.  Still a split-second too much
though :(.
