hi psketch,

Thanks for reporting. Having DEBUG on could be scary! :)

I have tracked down stray DEBUG setting and removed it.

Please refer to PM for the simplest way to turn debug off.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer 4.0.0

2018-08-03 Thread paul-

Isolating the cpu prevents processes from automatically being ran on the
isolated cores... It is all about limiting latency.Does it have
any audible affect..you make the call.

Since network on the rpi is usb based..all the network traffic
generated usb intterupts.   This causes the processor to stop what it’s
doing and handle the interrupt.   These interrupts and usb handling
automatically run on cpu 0, that is why isolating core 0 may show
improvement.

Then running squeezelite on an isolated core, limits other processes
from interfering with squeezelite.

That’s the theorytry the recommended settings, Up to you to if
you hear a difference.

Another new tweak - CPU Isolation
Comma separated list of CPUs to isolate   
Isolation means the kernel will not run user tasks on the selected CPUS,
unless specified.
Recommended setting: 0,3
CPU 0 to only run kernel interrupts
CPU 3 to run the squeezelite output thread.
Squeezelite process settings availiable after reboot with isolation

Not sure why you would need this, perhaps @mcduman could explain.

Thanks - I went to the mixer pages and checked the Auto-unmute box,
saved and re-booted.  But no sound.  Squeezelite logging was set to
'info' which then showed: (with a couple of new tracks selected to see
if that re-started anything) 

I'll up the logging to debugging a reboot.  Anything look funny in the

There is a small issue in the startup, but nothing that would affect
resuming after pause.   You should go into the Card Control pages (on
the squeezelite page) and setup your mixer and then save it.

To see what is going on the play/pause, you need to turn on squeezelite
logging. 

Does the IQ audio Amp do muting?

I guess I should add more to the release notes :)Yes, that got added
in 4.0.0.   Please let me know how it works for you.   I think you still
have to manually restart LMS after uploading..It's been a while

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.5.0

2018-08-03 Thread kingswindsor


Hi, this is an intermittent problem I have had with one of my
picoreplayers - RPi3 + IQaudio DAC + IQaudio AMP with 7" screen and lirc
control.  What happens is that after resuming play after a pause, no
sound comes out even though squeezelite appears to be working.  It then
needs multiple re-boots until (for no apparent reason) it produces
sound.   It then carries on working.   There is no low current or
overheating going on when this occurs.  It has occurred with 3.2x, 3.5
and today 4.0.

I don't know if the cause is software or hardware and, to my untutored
eye, the logs look normal except this pcp_boot.log.  Any advice would be
appreciated and if I should investigate any other logs, please let me
know.

Resetting of the i2s card parameter is normal in the update, as
sometimes there are changes to the programming or new features.

Most of the cards that make the list are coordinated with the MFG's or
some users.  In your case, the Saber driver is not an official driver,
meaning it could break with kernel changes.   The person who wrote the
driver is not around anymore..when it breaks it is likely done.

LOL. Hi Jeff. Honestly, "may not" has never worked on me :-) I don't
mind giving something a stab and certainly wasn't complaining. Just
saying what happened when I tried it. I've been using 3.50 audio kernel
with success on all four of my pi's. I kind of assumed the risk might be
worth the effort.

Bests,

Howard

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer 4.0.0

2018-08-03 Thread Howard Passman


Hi Greg. I don't think the frustration was on my part. I don't pretend
to understand what goes in to what you folks do and do well. My
misunderstanding started before 4.0 with 3.5 Audio Kernel. When I
updated insitu I saw it and tried it on all four of my pi's. Worked like
a charm. So when 4.0 ACK came out, I saw the warning and still decided
to give it a try. It worked with 3.5, so...why not. It didn't work in
all four. I don't think my email had a frustration tone and I certainly
didn't mean for it to. I was just explaining what I experienced.

I'm not technically proficient in what you folks do by any stretch of
the imagination. However, I have been a faithful SB customer in that I
have purchased every SB that's come out since the SB3, help support pCP
and have four Raspberry pi's running pCP. I enjoy messing with them and
listening to them. If understanding how things work were a pre-requisite
for owning an product, most of us would still be rubbing two sticks
together. For that matter, if understanding what most fields in
picorplayer do, I shouldn't use it.

Warnings are meant for the unadventurous. More times than I can say I
have made a setting and just held my breath. What's the worst that can
happen? I start over. It was Paul who encouraged me to do just that when
it came to DAC settings. Make changes and use my ear.

I enjoy pcP and think you guys are amazing. I'll try to refrain from
asking dumb question.

Bests,

Howard

In situ update from 3.5 Audio version to 4.0 up and running, two minor
problems the Static IP had changed to DHCP whilst keeping the correct IP
addresses, so I simply changed back to Static, entered the new named IP
addresses and rebooted.
On the Squeezelite Card Control screen the Dtoverlay 384k flag had been
cleared and the onboard sound card had been checked, reset both and all
is working fine.
A general question (if this is OK) - I run a Soekris DAM1021 via I2S -
will this ever be included in the list of DACs? I currently use
I-Sabre-ES9023 setting.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer 4.0.0

2018-08-03 Thread psketch


I upgraded all of my players and my LMS from 3.50 to 4.0 b4 with no
problems - wired and wifi all worked just fine.  The only slight anomoly
is the way it always forgets the USB settings after an upgrade, so you
have to re-enter the USB Output Settings - not a problem, but not sure
why just this one gets reset when everything else carries forwards

Anyway, one odd one.  I upgraded my LMS to b5 this morning, and I wasn't
sure if a couple of the tweaks I use (dwc_otg.speed=1 and Disable
USB-FSM) had actually carried forwards.  They were showing in the UI,
but I wasn't sure if they were set in the underlying settings as I was
getting some odd behaviour.  No problem - just reset them to default and
then reset them again to the settings I use, which worked fine.  The odd
bit is that after doing this, it seems to have somehow turned on the
debug for the UI.  The pages now have orange text on them, for example,
at the top all of the pages say something like 

[ DEBUG ] Running lms.cgi...

[ DEBUG ] $QUERY_STRING:

and then, in the tweaks page for example, the Auto Start LMS sections
has

[ DEBUG ] $AUTOSTARTLMS: 
[ DEBUG ] $A_S_LMS_Y: 
[ DEBUG ] $A_S_LMS_N: checked

Again, it all seems to work ok - the only odd bit was that when I first
booted the LMS, it took about 10 mins before the LMS and tweaks page
would render - as if they were working on something in the background. 
After about 10 mins , they do render OK, and then now they're back to
displaying instantly as before.

So, maybe changing the tweak setting somehow turned on a debug setting
somewhere?
