Liffy99,

Which Edimax device are you using?  Some of them are a bit finicky and
the do use slot of power.

Please go to the diagnostics page on the pCP device and look at the
dmesg section.  Look for voltage warnings.

Without the flac patches some functionality will be lost - IIRC
transcoding stream will stop after 2hrs30mins.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.5.0

2018-06-13 Thread liffy99


System:
FLAC library / Qobuz streaming on IMac running LMS v7.9
Raspbery Pi3 / Allo Digione running Picoreplayer v3.5 (with Edimax wifi
dongle)
Ipad used as controller via Squeezepad

Every day I have no problems playing music with this set up.
Everyday, at some point in late afternoon / evening (I cannot pin the
time down) the system loses its link with the server.
The Imac is internet connected. (Its ethernet cabled to the router with
its own internal Wifi off).
I can access the IP addresses of Picoreplayer, the router, and other
equipment.
I cannot access the IP address of the Imac (eg 192.18.1.111:9000 for
LMS
The RPi shows its power light, the Wifi indicator continues to flash.
The only solution seems to be a repeated hard reboot of the Pi.

I have tried using (and not) wake on LAN
I cannot see any sleep settings that would interfere (ie turn the Imac
off)
It makes no sense with the system working fine, and then not, with no
changes being made anywhere.

Any clues where to look ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.5.0

2018-06-13 Thread nickdanp


Hi,
Apologies if this is a dumb question, but I cannot get Bluetooth to
work on two RPis - a Model 3 and a Model 3B+ - which makes me think I'm
missing something fundamental.

Basically I disable built-in Wi-Fi and enable built-in Bluetooth. No
problem. Reboot when done.

But when I go to enable Bluetooth Audio and save/reboot I get
Squeezelite not running and when I click Card Control I see BT
Controller is Off, Connect Daemon is not running  and BT Device is Not
Connected. Additionally Show Logs is greyed out.

I've tried wiping the card and starting from scratch with PiCorePlayer
3.5.0 (non audio), but the same problem persists.

It's as if the built-in Bluetooth isn't being switched on or detected -
have I missed a fundamental step in the process or is it something
deeper?

Many thanks for any advice you can offer me.

Hi Ralphy,

many thanks! That is what I tried first and trying to play a 192/24 file
resulted in "unsupported sample rate" error. At that point I thought
that was because I left the upsample setting empty.

Meanwhile I have tried this:

max sample rate: "44100,48000,88200,96000"
upsample setting: "E" 

This setting works after I cleared the "Restrict codec setting" which
was filled with "pcm,alac,mp3" before in order to have LMS send out PCM.
Probably your suggestion would have worked too if I had cleared that
setting before.
Is my setting in effect any different from your suggested setting? Or is
my setting now resampling on pCP client instead of LMS server?
Resampling on LMS server would of course be preferable.

Best regards
Stefan

Setting the Max sample rate to 96000 on the squeezelite settings page
will cause LMS to downsample on-the-fly all content with a higher sample
rate.

25171

This is equivalent to adding -r 96000 to the squeezelite command line.

Make sure not to have any values in the Upsample setting as this causes
squeezelite to do resampling, not LMS.

There were patches to flac for slimserver - these may not be in the
version of flac from another repo.
