The sbpd-script.sh script runs fine on the command line as user tc, no need to run it as sudo 2. With /home/tc/sbpd-script.sh entered in the User Commands in Tweaks, on rebooting, the Pi doesn't reach Jivelite. 3. With no user command defined in Tweaks, the Pi boots to Jivelite. Buttons don't work, until I run /home/tc/sbpd-script.sh on the command line, then everything is fine. All button presses work as expected. I already use Filezilla, but haven't done so for the Pi. I'll play some more this evening. Thanks for all the effort on this - frustrating that it is so close!

OK, so there's evidently something real here, but it's odd that I can't reproduce it with either of my Pirate Audio boards, or on two different RPis.

It's absolutely flawless - there's no sluggishness in the pCP web interface, and it reliably shows the HiFiBerry as the installed sound device.

I found I had to add the '-t 0' option to pigpiod, to switch it to PWM mode, otherwise the sound did not work. So by implication this board uses PCM for audio, and PWM for backlight control. So does this mean that trying to also use PWM for pigpiod is what could be causing the possible sluggishness in pCP's Squeezelite page and the problems that M-H and Grumpy Bob seem to be experiencing? These problems were apparent before the skin and other applets were adapted to control the backlight, so presumably it's just the fact that the board uses PWM for the backlight that may be the issue - it doesn't matter whether we attempt to actually adjust the backlight? If this is the case, is there a possibility to make pigpiod more compatible with this board, perhaps by reducing the polling frequency (in case it's not obvious, I'm on dodgy ground here, so I'm just guessing). chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111502 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

That's great - so you're not experiencing the problems that M-H and Grumpy Bob have reported? What RPi are you running on? You can rotate the display by modifying one of the the initialisation variables in the framebuffer setup. It's the second parameter in the long list of hexadecimal values: -1,0x36,0x00 Change this to -1,0x36,0x60 and you'll rotate the screen 90 degrees clockwise. I've been experimenting with different values for this parameter, but I haven't been able to rotate it by any other amount. I've managed to mirror the display, and use part of the screen for an upside down window, but a 90 degree rotation is the only 'clean' option I've found. So the revised modprobe commands are: Code: modprobe flexfb setaddrwin=0 width=240 height=240 init=-1,0x11,-2,120,-1,0x36,0x60,-1,0x3A,0x05,-1,0xB2,0x0C,0x0C,0x00,0x33,0x33,-1,0xB7,0x35,-1,0xBB,0x1A,-1,0xC0,0x2C,-1,0xC2,0x01,-1,0xC3,0x0B,-1,0xC4,0x20,-1,0xC6,0x0F,-1,0xD0,0xA4,0xA1,-1,0x21,-1,0xE0,0x00,0x19,0x1E,0x0A,0x09,0x15,0x3D,0x44,0x51,0x12,0x03,0x00,0x3F,0x3F,-1,0xE1,0x00,0x18,0x1E,0x0A,0x09,0x25,0x3F,0x43,0x52,0x33,0x03,0x00,0x3F,0x3F,-1,0x29,-3 modprobe fbtft_device name=flexfb speed=3200 cs=1 gpios=dc:9 [image: http://www.cjh.me.uk/MyPhotobucket/cache/DIYHifi/Jivelite/240x240/Rotated_640.jpg] chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111502 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Thanks for the response, I am using in windows 10 and XP, SqueezePlay-setup-7.8.0r1188 jivelite-lua-0.1-r189-win32 Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.2 I'm not sure about Luajit? The main issue is in Jivelite when you make a song selection it just plays unless you hold down (long press?) and then you get the popup with options to select (play now, play next, add to end) I want to select a song (click,touch) and default to the popup with choices (Squeezeplay does this). Having to let someone know to hold down a song selection until the popup is activated just doesn't work well, someone always just kills the playlist with one song. I really don't need to port the Grid skin to Squeezeplay if Jivelite could select the same way Squeezeplay does, having the Grid skins in Squeezeplay would be great also though but not necessary if its trouble.

Not exact as from memory but;
top showed about 85 to 75 processor time free.
Usage = 11% squeezelitelite while playing + about 10 percent for SBPD
and or jivelite.
But since it is polling buttons and serially outputting an animated
screen, I though it to be somewhat normal for such a small processor.

Thanks Paul. The biggest item is the GPIO daemon pigpiod, at about
8-10% CPU. Jivelite is next on 5-7%, and Squeezelite on about 5%.
There's nothing else significant, and the total is less than ~25%.
Maybe I'm just too used to my RPi4. I'll try the Zero W with a more
basic USB audio setup and without the Pirate Audio board.

To see if sluggishness is due to the machine running out of computing
power you could run "top" from ssh session ("q" to quit "top") and take
a look at the top few lines of the updating output to see if there are

With a bit more attention to the music rather than the working of display and buttons, I found the 3W version does not output sound properly using either the generic TI5102 and the HiFiBerry DAC Zero/MiniAMP driver. Left channel does output normally, however the right channel does output at a lower level, and does output content for left channel too. Is if the right channel is in mono mode and adding the 2 signals together. I tested this with a few right-left test files. I did verify the bottom side slide switch is in the stereo ( dual speaker ) mode. I do not know what DAC is used on this card , as I need microscopic photography to read the chips. But it looks like they used 2 separate driver chips, and perhaps 2 separate dacs built in to them. Perhaps the HW switch needs software support in the driver. As I don't own an other pirate radio version, I can't verify much in that range. But I swapped to the Phat Beat in place ( same pi, same SD ) Then there are no issue's and with both driver sets. Your reported slowness on the display is observed too. About 60 seconds into the first song, the display starts jivelite. The observed instability is most likely a connection issue, They always happen when I handled the set. But with working display and buttons I saw the red WIFI icon appear in te lower right corner, and I still could navigate to the settings-extra-picoreplayer-reboot command, and it restored everything.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer6.0.0 - PI4 support
Hi everyone, First, I would like to aknowledge the developers for this wonderful OS that is piCorePlayer. I just have bought a RPi 4 1 Gb to work with my Allo digione card and it works like a charm with the pCP 6.0 beta 7. I'm coming from a RPi 3B and I wanted to make my audio server runs smoothly and RPi 4 is really improving the reactivity. Just my two cents.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite on a Pirate Audio 240x240 screen
I ran through the installation on the '3W amp' board, and it's working as expected, with Jivelite, button control and the correct sound card loaded. But There IS an apparent difference from the line out card, in that some of the pCP menus are more sluggish, especially the Sqeezelite page. Even though I've set the sound output device to the HiFiBerry DAC Zero/MiniAMP, and sound is coming from the attached speakers, the Squeezelite page sometimes loads very slowly, and sometimes shows 'Analog' as the output device, with only a truncated list of output devices to choose from. The 'Change Squeezelite settings' section below the main output device section shows 'hw:CARD=sndrpihifiberry' in the output setting. So maybe there is a hardware difference with this version of the card. But I don't get any difference in this behaviour whether sbpd-script.sh is running or not. In either case the board is fully functional. So in case there are any misunderstandings, here are the exact steps that I've followed with both boards: Put a fresh pcp6-b7 image on the SD card.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite on a Pirate Audio 240x240 screen
I just ran through the install process again, from the top, and haven't encountered the problem that Grumpy Bob and M-H have reported. I used the 'line out' version of the Pirate Audio board. I'm about to try the steps again on the '3W amp' version in case there's something different. I'm not going to add to the confusion by posting the steps again, until I've checked that they work on the 3W amp board. The brightness controls now seem to work as they did on my own development version - thanks Ralphy. A few points to note: 1) The Display Off screensaver is implemented (Settings > Screen > Screensavers > When playing/stopped/off > Display Off) 2) The brightness control 'when on' is implemented (Settings > piCorePlayer > Adjust Display Backlight Brightness). 3) The brightness control 'when off' is NOT yet implemented (Settings > piCorePlayer > Adjust Display Backlight Brightness when Powered Off). Because these settings labels are quite long and the screen is narrow, both of these settings look the same in the menu until you let them scroll across the screen. The one that IS implemented is the 4th menu item in the piCorePlayer applet, and the one that is NOT implemented is the 5th one. 4) The screen brightness is only recalled at the next boot if you do a backup before rebooting. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111502 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
