Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.00

2017-12-17 Thread Greg Erskine

hi Josh,

As Paul said, usually there is no need for Server IP.

Many years ago people used to always add this and it caused lots of
support issues because some people where typing the IP incorrectly or
mangling the port number. Once we convinced people not to do it, the
problems went away, but. it should work. Tested OK on my system.

Can you check your IP is correct under Server IP more help.


Code:

Connect to the specified LMS, otherwise autodiscovery will find the server 
(-s)   less> 
  [:]
  Default port: 3483
  Note: Do not include the port number unless you have changed the default LMS 
port number.
  Current LMS IP is:
  192.168.1.4



I have assumed you are using wired Ethernet and not wifi?

regards
Greg

[SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer IR support

2017-12-17 Thread Zounder1

Hi, 
I'm troubleshooting getting IR working in PiCorePlayer.  (It was working
but I just did an upgrade to the newest PiCorePlayer version out.

I installed LIRC using the web interface.  I manually set it to use
LIRC1.  Reboot.

When I go to command line and run "irw" the program registers the remote
key presses.  So LIRC is working properly. But piCorePlayer is not
reacting to the key presses.

I have a reasonable amount of lirc on Linux.  So I did a search for a
LIRCRC file that is required to pass on keystrokes to any running
application.

I found 
/usr/local/share/lirc/files/lircrc-squeezebox  (which is linked to
/tmp/tcloop/lirc/usr/local/share/lirc/files/lircrc-squeezebox)
A quick look at the file shows the entry 
-prog = squeezelite-armv6hf-

Well for those key presses to be passed to Squeezelite correctly I think
it should actually read
-prog = squeezelite-

Unfortunately this is a read only file that I can't edit it.

Anyone care to explain how I can edit this file in PiCorePlayer?

Or am I completely wrong to look this file? 

This all seem wonky to me as the way things are setup by default I can't
see lirc working for anyone?

Help?!?

Thanks for the reply.  I have not loaded the FFMpeg library and all is
good.  I'll experiment with it and see if it has any effect.  I can
always remove it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Linux VMs running on Win10+VMwareWorkstationPro

2017-12-17 Thread Zounder1

Hm, next time you want to Virtualize LMS, I would strongly suggest you
create a VM using Vortexbox.

Vortexbox is a super simple lightweight Linux distribution that includes
LMS, Samba shares and a bunch of useful utilities.  It is dead simple to
install and setup.

I have used Virtualization for over 10 years and I always try and setup
VMs that are as lightweight as possible.  Each VM is dedicated to one
specific purpose.  It makes upgrades and maintenance much easier than
trying to maintain LMS installed on something like a full install of
Ubuntu running a variety of other packages.

Vortexbox website:  www.vortexbox.org
Downloads:  http://wiki.vortexbox.org/available_images

2017-12-17 Thread paul-

Entering the server address on the squeezelite page does nothing for
you, unless you have 2 LMS servers in your environment.

If you can ssh in, post your config.it is located at
/usr/local/sbin/config.cfg.

OK - here's the weirdness. 

1. System is actually working, but still can't access the webpage for
the player. I am able to change the audio player (Hifi Berry +) and
reboot successfully. Then when I add the IP# of the server (wanted to
eliminate the DNS variable) and declare the max bit rate and reboot
again, the page won't load. However, it is running.

2. I tried 3 different SD cards and even another Pi that I have and no
change to the issue.

3. Is there anything that I can look at by SSHing into the Pi?

Thanks

Josh

[SlimDevices: Unix] HOWTO: piCorePlayer disable power light and activity light on RPi2 and RPi3

2017-12-17 Thread Zounder1

FWIW.  This is a quick post on how to turn off the power LED on my
Raspberry Pi running piCorePlayer.   Note:  This does not work on the
original Raspberry Pi A/B.

Go the PiCorePlayer web interface.
Put the interface in Advanced mode (scoll to bottom of page and click on
the "Normal" tab to make more options availbe on the web interface. 
"Advanced" and "Beta" will also reveal the required settings.)
Wait for the web interface to reload.
Click on "Tweaks"
Scroll to the bottom and enter in "User command #1" text box:
-echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/led1/brightness-
Enter in "User command #2" text box:
-echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/led0/brightness-
Click on "Save"
Reboot your piCorePlayer.
The power LED and activity LED will power off once your RPi has boot up
PiCorePlayer

As a note, the "User command #2" is not really required as the
piCorePlayer does not normally access the SD card once booted.  I put it
here for completeness in case some edge PiCorePlayer setup accesses the
SD card regularly.  (Perhaps if you are running LMS with piCorePlayer?)

I don't have a Raspberry Pi Zero to confirm, but you apparently need to
run the following TWO comands to turn of the Power/Activity LED
instead.
echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/led0/brightness
echo none | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/led0/trigger
