The Play Windows Media plugin was written a few years ago when mplayer
was the better support app. Now ffmpeg is better.   Although ffmpeg is
available as avconv on some distros which causes confusion.

I should update the plugin (which is only a few conf files).  The
custom-convert.conf to be changed to use ffmpeg if ffmpeg is available
for pcp.

bpa,

Looks like he is trying to play to other software players that don't
directly support WMA.   For server side transcoding, do we really need
mplayer?   Would ffmpeg be able to transcode those files?

For PCP you do not need the Play Windows Media plugin unless playing to
say a Boom or Receiver.  If using PCp /squeezelite as a player - there
is a WIndows libraries pcp extension that can be installed that gives
WMA support to the players.

Thanks to the Team for great software and the continuous improvement of
piCorePlayer and Squeezelite. Really great way to enjoy the music!

After running LMS on Windows and Mac machines for a number of years,
I’ve now moved on to using rPi 3B as server with PiCorePlayer 4.10 and
LMS 7.9.2. Everything works fine and all files play smoothly for SB3,
Boom, and 2 x pCP players with HiFiBerry DACs. However I’m having
trouble playing WMA files only on SqueezePlay and iPeng. Always get
error message “Can’t play File . . . “ even though have installed FFMpeg
libraries on server. 

Tried to enable Play Windows Media plug-in in LMS but get error message
that mplayer not installed. Is that what’s needed to convert WMAs to
play on Squeezeplay and iPeng? Looked for mplayer in  extensions for
piCore, but didn’t find it . . . 

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to correct this problem. 

Thanks,

Chris

Until someone actually finishes/tests the code and submits it to RPi,
this isn't going to happen with pCP.

Compiling a custom kernel is possible, but not a trival task.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 4.0.0

2018-12-22 Thread spyder


Dear Paul, Greg and all,

First of all, thank you for making piCorePlayer such a great player. I
tried other audioplayers on my Raspberry Pi, but this one beats them in
terms of stability and speed!

Recently I bought a X6000K-7.1CH to for a multi-room audio from
piCorePlayer. Seems like a great card with 8 outputs.
http://www.suptronics.com/miniPCkits/x6000-7.1ch.html

I would like to send 8 channels over HDMI to the X6000, but the current
implementation of BCM2835 limits the number of channels that can be send
over HDMI to 2. The BCM2835 would need to be patched as follows:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux...bb3d10f18f37dd

Note that the change that I refer to contains additional commits, but
according to what I read, this is the minimum needed to get 8 channels
to work.

How could I best apply this change? Can I compile my own kernel?

Thanks!

Btw, you did not need to manually install crda with 4.1.0, I doubt that
caused any problems though?

Can you hookup a display and keyboard to see the boot process when only
WiFi is connected?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Squezzelite settings are lost after reboot.

2018-12-22 Thread schiff1108


Well. I stop the analysis. I am not able to constantly reproduce the
problem.
The situation is that when I am changing something on squezzelite
setting screen and press "save", it happens that there is either a
message "[ ERROR ] Squeezelite not running" or everything green with
"squezzelite running", but no music playing. I can solve this situation
by pressing "save" again w/o changing anything. Sometimes I need to
press save even one more to time to resolve the situation.
Actually no problem for me, as I do have a work around.

Thanks Paul.  I have tried that including powering down and rebooting. 
I cannot ping the PCP and it cannot be seen by my wireless router, so I
guess there is something else going on.

Unfortunately with out of tree drivers, community testing is limited.  
And I dont have the WiFi stick to test.

Is the module loading?  Can you see anything in dmesg?

Make sure you are booting the system with WiFi only.   Booting with

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 4.0.0

2018-12-22 Thread fsger


I am running PCP 4.1.0 with the experimental real-time kernel. 
Soundwise it is great but I'd like to connect via WiFi (I have noted the
warnings it may not work) rather than Ethernet.  When I configure the
WiFi it gets an IP address (defined statically)and I can connect via
that IP address to the PCP when the Ethernet is still connected, but I
cannot reach the PCP when it is disconnected.  Using an IP scanner, I
can see that the wireless IP address has the same MAC address as the
Ethernet interface.  I get this with the 2.4GHz (CH7 GB) and 5GHz (CH36
GB) networks (which it can see when I do a scan on the wifi settings
page).  I have installed crda.tcz.

Is there something else I can do or is this the hard reality of "it may
not work"?.

There are many improvements on the security but most of them are on the
other side - not yours and they are not RPI / Picore related.

How does a Hacker / Cracker gets his way into the IOT Devices like a
lms?

First they would use a already implemented update scenario like lms
update or the pluginsupdate mechanism.
One hack -> many devices with many ips makes a perfect botnet.
Mostly the dont hack a single IOT device.

Unless the updates arent digital certified and the internal update
mechanism first checks the updates for their certificates you always
have to trust these updates with your brain instead of the update
routine.

In case of LMS updates thats a quote easy procedure because there is a
single contributor for these updates.
In case of the plugin side the whole idea is getting worse because there
is no manpower to proove all plugins and sign them and there a more than
one plugin repository.

That means be aware what plugins you install and check the forum for
some warnings.
