Hi Paul,
since it was already enabled before and the WIFI itself works (I can
access the pi through it) I did not click on save again.
But I have restarted the pi and the squeezelite several times without
any effect.

Should the extra SAVE clicking change this behaviour?

Hi Paul,
I just experienced another interesting behavior and hope you can help.
When running picoreplayer connected to the ethernet everything runs
smoothly, I can see the player in the Squeezeserver interface and play
from it.
When unplugging and restarting, in order to use wifi, I can still find
picoreplayer on the network and can access the interface but squeezelite
does not start anymore.

Any idea what is going on there?

Thanks and regards,
Merc

I've just made a setup with my new pi4x4 and pcp600B1, and it is quite
noticeably faster.
As it is also my LMS with local storage, so the fast HD on USB3 is also
contributing to the overal performance.

YMMV but this is a real upgrade.

You can not switch audio outputs reliably while you have the alsa
equalizer installed.
Best  to uninstall the equalizer , reboot, set analogue, reboot, test
output, and then move on with another output.

To all,

I have given up on Linux. Along with problems with LMS I have had other
problems with other simple programs. It seems that the developers of
Linux are stuck in the 1980s and do not want to advance into a GUI

Indeed that is fast at 2K songs per minute it is twice as fast as my
initial test;
6K songs on local usb3 disk @ 6 minutes => 1K songs a minute

But are we really using the all the new pi its potential ? 
I just screwed up the SD as it had only a 200 MB partition, and had the
LMS cache still pointing at /mnt/mmcblk0p2/somewhere while doing the
first scan. It ran out of data, prevented any orderly shutdown, and
finally did only boot tinycore without PCP sauce.
With perhaps 3 gig ram spare it could have prevented the diskspace to
run out , and come up with some alternative like a reasonable message.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Linux newbie and LMS installation

2019-07-14 Thread JimCo06


EEYORE

If you used a .deb file then it is definitely installed in Mint.  I am
certainly not a Linux expert, just a user like yourself (I'm 69 myself),
but I have been "playing" with it for 5-6 years.  My main desktop dual
boots with Windows 10 and Ubuntu and I have 3 Raspberry Pis.  So all I
can do is relay my own personal experiences.  

Roland0 certainly could be right and the problem could be that the
partition isn't mounted properly.  It sounds like he is far more
knowledgeable than I.  However, I have never had to manually mount a
hard drive.  Maybe I've just been lucky but the 3 varieties of Linux I
have used (Ubuntu, Mint and Raspian) have always mounted my drives
automatically.

All of the Disk problems I have experienced in Linux have occurred when
I was trying to access an NTFS formatted disk.  That is a very old
Windows format and I doubt that you would be having this problem if that
partition were formatted as FAT32.  I have read several places that the
Linux Kernal only includes read capabilities natively.  The write
capabilities need to be added with a separate package.  It is certainly
possilbe that Mint now includes that package, as Roland0 suggests, but
it didn't the last time I tried it which was about 3 years ago.  I know
that Raspian does not include it because I had a problem last week when
I installed Raspian Buster on my RPi.  I can't remember if I had to add
it to Ubuntu or not, it's been to long.  Anyway, I have frequently
thought about reformatting that drive to eliminate some of these
problems but I guess I just to lazy.

Give this a try, when you are booted into Mint use the File Explorer
program and see if you can copy a file (any file will do) into the AUD
partition.  If that is successful then my suggestion probably won't help
you.  In that event it probably is either a partition mounting issue (as
suggested) or a file access permissions issue.

Sorry for your difficulty, Good luck.

In regards to where LMS is installed; it IS installed since it mostly

Is there any way to make the HDD that's attached to the Pi visible on

i.e. when using a NAS as the LMS server, I can easily add new music to
it wirelessly across the network.

Is there any way to do that using PCP?

Otherwise I'd need some form of direct connection to the HDD in order to
add new music.

Hi.

After looking a lot of threads, i haven't found what i need...

I have a RPI3B+ with Pcp5.0.0 / Hifiberry Amp2 / LMS on a Syno NAS
working perfectly. :cool:

I can play QOBUZ (Music streaming) from my iPhone SE via Sharetunes,
perfect ! Pcp switches on when i stream Qobuz and switches off when i
leave the sharetunes streaming. It was a nice surprise.

I have a LG LED TV with bad quality of sound (flat screen with small
speakers...). I saw in the settings that there is a "LG SYNC /
Bluetooth" option.

I wonder if it"s possible to connect my LG TV to my RPI via Bluetooth
automatically ? 
It will be nice to have a nice clear sound when i watch a
movie.:rolleyes:


I don't see any BT option on Pcp...

I need your help, thanks :)

It will use more space during a scan.   I would probably move the one

Oh I'm sure - SSDs just fly...

I connected a recent backup to the Pi now - it's a 4TB WD red (7200rpm)
drive that contains about 130,000 FLAC files.

Complete, initial scan took just over 1hr - I could have saved 5 mins by
pointing to an empty "Playlists" folder instead of using the main FLACs
folder (i.e. it rescanned the whole library looking for playlists - when
I don't have any!)

Performance from the Pi is still really snappy.

With just LMS installed, no extras etc, PCP looks like it's using about
560MB of the 2GB partition I created for it.

Without having added/changed any files, a incremental rescan
(new/changed files) takes about 11 mins (2 mins of that was scanning the
whole library for playlists again though)

I've got some issue's to get my piCorePlayer v6.0.0-b1 on a pi4x4
connected to a BT speaker ( clip3 )
As it is my first attempt, I am not sure I am not making any beginner
mistakes here.
So please hint me in the right direction.

The set ( pi and speaker ) have worked before in Raspbian Buster, but
just converted the set to PCP.
Wifi is on , but not configured as I do run the set wired, and to lazy
to put a soft-ap on it.

'Scan' does not find anything ( and I made sure at least 2 never
connected phones were visible at the same time )
pair ,  select  and forget falldown menus are empty.

bt log shows:

Code:

bcm43xx_init
  Flash firmware /usr/local/lib/firmware/brcm/BCM4345C0.hcd
  Set BDADDR UART: **mac**
  Set Controller UART speed to 300 bit/s
  Device setup complete

  Success.
  Device /dev/mmcblk0p1 could not connect
  Last message repeated 70 times.
  Device /dev/mmcblk0p1 could not connect
  Last message repeated 200 times.



The odd thing is /dev/mmcblk0p1 is the block device or partition that
was not mounted at first, and after I mounted that manually it continues
to warn about it.

Is this an error in the software of is the error between the screen and
chair ? Anyone got it up and running on this beta and a pi4 ?

Later today I'll connect up a drive with the full library and see how it
handles that.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 5.0.0

2019-07-14 Thread Mercenary


Hi again,
I really love how the picoreplayer brings the option to output audio to
bluetooth speakers.
What is a bit annoying is the fact that the picoreplayer seems to
totally dominate the bluetooth connections.

When I am trying to connect from my smartphone to my UE Boom 2 and power
up the Pi afterwards it will kick out my smartphone and capture the
bluetooth connection.

Is this normal or is it possible to set it up in a way that it would
connect only if nothing else is connected alread?

Thanks,

Merc

You have resized the SD card? Installed extra files systems?

If it were me at this stage I would put a handful of albums on a USB
stick and point LMS at that. If LMS responds okay, then I'd suspect your
HDD/power supply.

Update: it seems that it's once LMS has done it's full scan that
everything stops working.

The library is only about 8000 MP3s, I'm sure that's not "too much" for
the Pi4 to handle? (I hope not - my eventual plan is to give it the
full, c130k track library to manage)

But having run the initial full scan, when I click on (say) "Albums" on
the main LMS page, that's when everything hangs/stops working.

I just updated to the latest nightly build (just in case that helps) and
the same thing's happening...

Many Thanks ! got my Pi4x4 up and running in no time.
Funny detail; Restarted my Pi with pCP from a working raspbian buster
setup with squeezelite running , and the running LMS recognized the
'new' player with its MAC and resumed audio in synch with the others
playing .  Defaults of output through audiojack of course.

Feedback to the team: The default wired 1 Gig NIC seems a bit slow to be
recognized .
0 sec - power on
18 sec - most relevant software in RAM and starting network  (screen
output : waiting for network  )
30 sec - link led turns on
44 sec - network initialised: ( screen output  ... Done (59).
45 sec - first audio

The delay between 18 and 30 seems to be the nic driver that needs to
complete the initialization
The delay between 30 and 44 seems the DHCP, and I will see if I can find
any delay from my DHCP server response.

Anyhow, it is not a complaint :-) just feedback.
Thank you for the quick start on the pi4 development.

I have no idea what happened. It was a 1TB 3.5" disk from an old NAS
that was sat in a USB3 dock thing, one of these:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Inateck-Docking-Station-Function-Tool-free/dp/B00LN0GX4I

Anyway, I got another HDD, stuck the MP3 library on it and tried again.

Seemed to be working (installed the NTFS file system support for the new
drive) and got LMS up and running.

The first scan seemed to be very quick (think it just found the folders
again, no music). Manually ran another scan and that seemed to find
everything.

However, LMS seems unresponsive now - e.g. the main LMS main page never
seems to finish loading.

I can click "Settings" (bottom right on the LMS main page), and that
loads. But the main page doesn't.

I've tried powering it all off and on again, starting/stopping LMS etc
and same thing happens.

Also, when I stop/start LMS or reboot the Pi, LMS seems to "forget" the
mount point. It's still there in PCP config, but when I click on
"Configure LMS", it makes me pick the mount point again...
