Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Howto create a linux kernel IR remote keytable for Jivelite on piCorePlayer 5

2019-08-09 Thread TheHypnoToad


I've just finished setting this up and it's working great with a generic
17 key remote. 

I did try it with another remote with more buttons but it just did not
work, it appeared as 'necx' protocol, whatever that is!

So for anyone else trying to get this working, try a different remote if
it doesn't work at first. :cool:

Also, is it possible to have a remote button that cycles thru the
different display modes in the 'now playing' screen, so it goes to VU
meter, then album cover, etc.?

That's great!

For a DSD capable DAC, you should always use the hw: prefix in the
output settings -o device field.

If you still experience the occasional dropout or "skip" in the audio;

set ALSA buffer time to 16384 and ALSA period 4096 

but *only if the DAC is connected via USB*.

Thanks Michael,

Random Song Mix from around 20,000 tracks ( I didn't realise I had that
many)
Database memory setting is "High"
and it doesn't matter which interface I use, Web UI, preset on a player
or Squeeze Ctrl

Greg may be onto something though, I don't think my power supply is up
to the job, I've got an official one arriving tomorrow.

Thanks, I did't think to check card control, I've disabled onboard sound
now. :)

Also, I may have a solution to the whole log file filling up memory
problem.

This shellscript monitors the size of the logfile then truncates it if
it gets too large:


Code:


  # Log Monitor - Used to monitor the size of a logfile
  # Will truncate log file if it gets too large
  # Start of script
  
  # Set max size of logfile here, in bytes. Default = 1 Megabyte
  MAXSIZE="1048576"
  
  # Delete this file if you want script to stop running
  RUNFILE="/tmp/log_monitor"
  touch "$RUNFILE"
  
  # Log file to monitor
  LOGFILE="/var/log/pcp_squeezelite.log"
  
  while [ -f "$RUNFILE" ]; do
  # Get filesize in bytes
  LOGSIZE=$(ls "$LOGFILE" -l | awk '{print $5}')
  
  # Compare
  if [ "$LOGSIZE" -gt "$MAXSIZE" ]; then
  echo "Filesize $LOGSIZE is too large, truncating at $(date)" | tee "$LOGFILE"
  else
  echo "Filesize $LOGSIZE is OK"
  fi
  
  # Wait 1 min
  sleep 60
  done
  exit 0
  # End of script
  



I've added it to my $HOME dir, called it 'log_monitor.sh' and load it on
boot using the User command setting:

/home/tc/log_monitor.sh

Adjust MAXSIZE to however large you want to log file to get before it
gets truncated.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Random Mix on PiCorePlayer

2019-08-09 Thread Michael Herger

My old server used to start a mix instantly but the Pi server takes
about 7 seconds to start playback this is with a library of about
18,000.


What kind of mix? What UI are you using? And what i your database memory 
setting (Settings/Advanced/Performance)?

Thanks Greg

This is on a RPI3B+ but my SSD is currently in a usb caddy. 
When my proper mounting board finally arrives it will have a connector
for additional power for the SSD so I'll give that a go.
