Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: JiveLite - cut down squeezebox control application
Thank you for this wonderful job. I use LMS since years and have done plenty of things: change the clock and spdif output of the receiver, installed LMS on PC, then on Raspberry then on Orange Pi Zero (8 the Logitech Media Server faster than a Rasp V3!). I am also an old user of PicorePlayer, since "the beginning" or something like that, tried with the awful 3.5" "audio" jack then go to an Hifiberry then tried a PCM2704 for 4... I installed last year JiveLite on the Raspberry Pi with the official screen and it is more or less the same as the Logitech Touch (I've one sample, of course) with a flawless usage. Recently I managed to install JiveLite on an Orange Pi One. I use this card because I wanted to plug an I2S DAC and the Orange Pi Zero does not have the GPIO pin for that (also I am in China and it is 50% less expansive than a Rasp). Working like a charm. Yesterday I've also connected a nice LCD screen grabbed from an old laptop (using a V56 card) to use it like a monitor for the Orange Pi One. My screen is 1920x1200 but after few settings it is not so bad (err... it's a wonderful LG LCD after all). So with JiveLite using the 1920x1080 resolution, my wife and I we discovered the great pleasure to see the sleeves of the records, many of them are real artwork. Thank you again for this piece of code! Now, some questions: - I have deselected some options (like "Artwork") in the "NowPlaying" menu and then the options are no more here in the menu. Is there any way to see them back? - seems in the 1920x1080 some buttons (next previous volume+/-) are no more here when playing : is it a "functionality"? - vu meter and sound analyzer are not working (but maybe I have to install other stuff / libs?), any idea? - I installed JiveLite "the hard way": following the instructions on the first page, I knew that google code closed and I knew JiveLite was on github, so I changed the git clone address. But why do you not change the instructions directly on the first page of this thread? renaud's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47911 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98156 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce piCorePlayer 3.20
Really enjoying the 3.20 with my Pi2 /Kali / Piano 2.1; even managed to get the DSP functioning. What are the chances of getting the dual mono capability of the Piano 2.1 added to piCorePlayer? I have been using it now and then with Volumio and it is a subtle but notable improvement, for Volumio at least. Fairly certain piCore would be a very admirable platform for implementing this technique. Anyone care to endorse this thought? bb3ii's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66768 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107352 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Thanks a lot in advance! Sergiu, I used the User commands facility to implement what you suggested as a temporary workaround until the config file is the default means of configuring shairport-sync. A User command #1 of 'shairport-sync -k; shairport-sync -d' works for me, killing the default process before starting a 'blank' daemon. For some reason, splitting the commands across two User commands fails but having them both on a single line works. Obviously, this only works when piCoreplayer is rebooted. Just restarting squeezelite and shairport-sync from the web interface causes the default command line options to be used :rolleyes: Thanks again for your help, Mike MikeDaPsych's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107352 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Indeed, the command line params supersede the config file. That means, your output setting in the config file does not caout if you run it with the script provided per default. Ralphy was kind enough to compile the latest version of the shairport-sync, i.e. 3.20, however he did not manage yet to switch to a complete config-based shairport-sync installation. I was asking him also if possible to remove all command line params and introduce the config file by default. I guess this will be there in the near future. In the meanwhile, what you can do is create somewhere a start script which just starts shairport-sync as a daemon, with no other params (caution, I am talking about the shairport-sync executable, not the script under /usr/local/etc/init.d). Secure this script by adding it's filename in the /opt/.filetool.sh and running -sudo filetool.sh -b- afterwards. Ensure that at startup, the previous shairport-sync is killed and your script is launched. You can do so by adding a command to kill it -sudo shairport-sync -k- and a commandline to launch your script under -/opt/bootlocal.sh-. And then, of course, the magic incantation: -sudo filetool.sh -b-. I have to say that I have tried this myself with previous versions of piCorePlayer, where I added -shairport- manually, as it was not there. It should work thoug, as this is still a standard mechanism. I hope this helps, Sergiu PS: @Ralphy: Can you please simply remove the command line params (except the daemon one) from the start script and include the file that Ihave shared?

No, all files are 44.1 kHz, however I do use squeezelite upsampling options, but it also is always the same (176,4 kHz). There is no DAC driver in this case, since I am using I2S connection. tingtong5's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9671 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107352 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce piCorePlayer 3.20
Hi! I've been happily using pCP for a few months now. As I'm living in the Netherlands, I tend to listen to this station a lot: icecast.omroep.nl/3fm-bb-mp3 However, since upgrading to 3.20 (regular), I'm not able to hear any audio from this stream anymore (or from associated stations). I can see that squeezelite connects to the stream and receives data, as the artist & title in the display are updated. As said, however, there is NO sound. I went back to 3.11 and updated squeezelite to the same version as in 3.20 and the streams are audible, so it's not an issue in squeezelite itself (1.8.6-957). What can I do to analyze/resolve this issue?
