[SlimDevices: Unix] Debian package fails to run

2017-10-28 Thread bullgod

I upgraded today from a debian build that was 6 months old to the most
recent build (Oct 25th)

LMS fail to start. 

The debian package no longer installs on a upto date version of Ubuntu?
It this expected?
There appear to be an expectation that I have to compile perl/CPAN from
source again?

Surely were are not back to those bad old days?

[SlimDevices: Unix] BitPerfect

2017-10-28 Thread steff

Having played with Rpi3 for month with pure MPD, now I am using pCP.

I would like to know what kind of setting I need to set in order to
achieve BitPerfect playback.
Let me say, avoid resampling, avoid software volume control, etc.

In particular, my external USB DAC is capable of hardware volume
control, but I am not sure how to use DAC volume control and not
something "software" (decimation by Rpi3, etc.)

Thanks a lot.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Cirrus Logic Audio Card and Wolfson support in PCP 3.20

2017-10-28 Thread M-H

I found a part of the problem.
As my sound card driver does not load properly at boot time, I have to
use modprobe to unload and reload the driver.
Unfortunately , By then the regular startup must have configured
/etc/asound.conf
So without disabling the on-board RPI audio card 0 is the only one, and
configured properly with alsa
When disabled there is even no soundcard /proc/asound/cards and it shows
as a quirk in /etc/asound.conf
Editing the file and restarting squeezelight does what is expected and
even allows me to use alsaequal.

SO WHAT PROCES OR SCRIPT DOES INITIALISE THE ALSA PARTS? AND CAN I MAKE
CHANGES THAT ARE RETAINED OVER REBOOTS ?
I rather not just rewrite /etc/asound.conf but  delay parts till my
driver is installed with a manual tweak.

The real solution would be to get the driver started correctly. Till
then I have to work on the workarounds.

I use jivelite settings  screen screensavers to get now playing and the
clock in the display, just choose a reasonable short timeout.

Paul, Would this also allow us to add BT-input ? 
It would be a great addition to be able to play an occasional tune from
my phone over the PCP managed amp and speakers .

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Building LMS for 64-bit Debian running on ARM Single Board Computers

2017-10-28 Thread iPhone

Sure looks like a bunch of trouble to do something that can just be done
using a quick Vortexbox Image. The reason I say that is if one doesn't
want to run a big server but one also feels that a Raspberry Pi is not
powerful enough or doesn't have enough storage, why not run a NUC or a
Micro Server? Is 5 watts really going to make that much difference
especially if one can just install a Vortexbox Image from a USB Thumb
Drive and be done with it? Almost any 64 bit Micro Server, NUC, or Atom
is a good candidate for a very energy efficient LMS/PLEX media server.
If efficient but still need a bunch of storage, go for the 4 bay Micro
Server with Optical Drive and rip CDs and Movies automatically. Just
need a music server with 2TB or less, then a 4 by 4 by 2 inch NUC is
perfect. Want small but still want auto ripping with 4 to 8TB of
storage, then build a Vortexbox using an Atom.

Burn the Vortexbox Image to USB Thumb Drive and be done in 10 minutes.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Picoreplayer with touchscreen and jivelite

2017-10-28 Thread KleinKipje

Startup in the "now playing" screen.

Is this possible?. Instead of the menu, i have a player with just a
screen and no touch or keyboard.

Best of aal would be, now playing when somthing is playing, or
screensaver (clock)

?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Picoreplayer with touchscreen and jivelite

2017-10-28 Thread ETNY

Hello, i've got exactly the same problem. When i run ts_test it's ok but
in jivelite up is left and left is down.
my "do_rebootstuff.sh" is

Code:

if [ "$JIVELITE" = "yes" ]; then
  echo -n "${BLUE}Starting Jivelite... ${NORMAL}"
  eventno=$( cat /proc/bus/input/devices | awk '/Intelligent Agent CDC and 
Digitizer/{for(a=0;a>=0;a++){getline;{if(/mouse/==1){ print $NF;exit 0;')
  if [ x"" != x"$eventno" ];then
  export JIVE_NOCURSOR=1
  export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/$eventno
  export SDL_MOUSEDRV=TSLIB
  export SDL_MOUSEDEV=$TSLIB_TSDEVICE
  export SDL_VIDEO_FBCON_ROTATION=UD
  


i've tried every ROTATION (UD, CW, CCW) but nothing change. 

swapxy in config.txt is also nothing change
i've read about a config_xy command  but i don't know where to use it.

I've got XPT2046 4inch Waveshare.

Does anybody can help?

Yannick

Sorry for the late replies, been working away.

Nothing crazy, just LMS\Music Store\folder per artist\folder per album

It does scan them because I can see the new folders when I browse music
and as a test i copied a track from a working folder into one of the new
ones and it could play that track, it just won't play any new tracks.

I'll check permissions on the tracks against stuff that was already on
the HD.

Wasn't aware of the SMB share, the thing is I bring the HD back to my
house to transfer music but I guess I could take it there.

Charles, thanks for clarifying! I think I will then wait for what
