Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer6.0.0 - PI4 support
I am happily running piCorePlayer v6.0.0-b7 on a new RP 4. I am always amazed that such a great project exists, and I hope everyone donates. Under one setup, I did have some pops occur between flac tracks with different sample rates (e.g., 16/44.1 -> 24/96). I blame the DAC/USB combination, though without much basis. I tried upsampling everything in order to avoid sample rate changes, but I didn't find the right squeezelite settings (poor google skills I know), and kept ending up with a squeezelite that wouldn't start. Here are my results from connecting what I have in different ways. POPS = piCorePlayer into Topping D30 (USB interface) <- my initial choice :-( NO POPS =piCorePlayer into Benchmark DAC3 (USB interface) <- incongruous pair? NO POPS = miniDSP with squeezelite into Topping 30 (coax) <- trying to see if the Topping 30 was always trouble NO POPS = piCorePlayer into Topping D50s (USB interface) <- this seems like a winner! I'm just reporting my experience so folks deciding on a DAC can have another data point to use in their decision. mkt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14921 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110727 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Wireless access point on piCorePlayer?
I believe the issue is that the phone wants to have an internet connection, and thus takes a long time to connect. Hook the player up to a ethernet connection and then also enable AP mode.Now connect your phone.does it connect quicker. piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.

I don't use an iPhone. I use Samsung and Xiaomi smartphones, Huawei tablet, Lenovo laptop. Raspberry Pi3B and Pi3B+. Always the connection time after turning on the Raspberry is 45-50 seconds. Then, if disconnected, and reconnect, then 5-10 seconds.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer6.0.0 - PI4 support
Yes, sorry for mixing up the names. TWART016, There is a file named wpa_supplicant.conf.sample on the boot partition, rename the file to remove .sample from the name. Then edit the file, there is instructions in the file. Note: the file has a line in it for country code..country code should not have quotes around the name. i.e. country=GB (Not sure how I missed that for a few releases, perhaps the kernel is getting more picky) As for the loop mount problem. For some reason the Zero does not like to create loop mounts dynamically fast enough to keep things happy. I don't see this all the time, but the way to rectify the problem is to add max_loop=100 to the kernel command line.. (cmdline.txt on the boot partition.) make sure if you edit this file, that it remains a single line (no line feeds permitted) Paul piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.

Yep. DAC just arrived this morning, soldered the headers in place and just plugged it in. It all just works, and it replaces my dead SB3.
