2017-04-09 Thread Michael Herger

Well that was a little bit of a challange.


Thanks a lot for accepting it :-). This and the little request I saw led 
me to give up on building it for newer systems...


But then pCP comes with its own Perl build anyway, doesn't it? You're 
using 5.24?


Thanks a lot!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Picoreplayer Japanese/Chinese characters display as pinyin?

2017-04-09 Thread Michael Herger

Would you get those characters when running LMS from a different
platform (PC or Mac)?


Do you mean hosting LMS on a windows pc? If so I haven't done that.


Yes, that's what I was asking.


But when I access LMS from a windows pc I can see the fonts render
correctly.


It's not about the display where you're seeing the characters, but about 
the server. SB3 is a dumb device. All content is rendered on the server. 
Therefore the server needs to be able to render your characters. I would 
expect this to work on a PC, but fail on many other systems.

Okay,  not sure what causes it, but quite a few wifi devices don't work
under the Audio kernel.That is why I mention that right in the OP to
not use wifi.

Yes you do have a soundcard, you just don't have a DAC on the RPI. Who
makes the Digi+  that is a critical piece of information.

If the product is made by Hifiberry, then rpi3 onboard wifi is almost
guaranteed to fail.

Hi Paul, I have no sound card.  As I noted in my post, I have a Digi+
installed in the RPI3 which I use to output to my DAC via an optical
link.  I use the Digi+ setting in PCP.  96KHz files work with the DAC
and my SBTouch, I am assuming the DAC and LMS are not the problem.

For the WiFi is used the standard RPI wifi which it installed RALink
drivers for (I'll try beta 6 so that should hopefully fix that problem -

There is no reason for anyone else to upgrade, as the only real fix is

Well that was a little bit of a challange.  There are many dependencies
for freetype.   As this is a fairly heavy install, I'm not including it
by default.

>From the Main Menu, you need to be in advanced mode (or beta mode)

- Select the "Extensions" button
- Select the "piCoreplayer sourceforge repository", the press the
  "Set" button
- In the list of Available Extensions, find "perl_font_freetype.tcz",
  then press the Load button
  

Make sure your file system is expanded, this download is about 22MB.

Let me know how this works for you on pCP LMS.

pCP LMS binaries extension has been updated.  New installs will get the
new extension.

Update is a little difficult , as the binaries was never planned to
update.

If you open an ssh session and do the following.


Code:


  tc@piCorePlayer:~$ mkdir /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/optional/upgrade
  tc@piCorePlayer:~$ cd /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/optional/upgrade
  tc@piCorePlayer:~$ wget

  tc@piCorePlayer:/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/optional/upgrade$
  



as long as you get an OK on the md5sum check, then you can reboot, and
your system will use the new extension

I downloaded a file named mac from the url, and placed it in
/usr/local/bin/

I then stopped and restarted LMS, but it still does not allow me to add
.ape files to the playlist.

I could not find the latest 7.9.1 nightly build at that url.  

Help appreciated!  Thanks.

You need to supply more information.   You have not even told us what
soundcard you are using.   Also, the only wifi that is known to not work
is ralink chips.  If you are using the rpi3 wifi, it works fine here.  I
have 2 of them and a zero-w running.
