It turns out the theory is great, but actually buying one may take a
while. I suppose that could be the Covid-19 effect. I think the DAC+ Pro
is the board for me.

There don't appear to be any HiFiBerry boards available at all in New
Zealand, where I live. One ".co.nz" web site offers some, but the site
looks to me like a dodgy front end for a Chinese seller of all sorts of
things so I'm not getting burned that way again. Pi Hut in the UK lists
the DAC+ Pro but, like every other source I could find, is out of stock
so I'm hoping they'll get new stock before too long. I'm looking forward
to it arriving eventually!

Thanks again for your helpful pointer.

Thanks Ralphy.

I've made a bit of progress and managed to compile a version of the
Thingiverse Knob software that works well with Jivelite just sending
KEYCODE_SPACE, KEYCODE_MINUS, KEYCODE_EQUAL, and MMKEY_SCAN_PREV_TRACK
and MMKEY_SCAN_NEXT_TRACK. It's not pretty but it works connected
directly to a USB port.

30253

I've been following your suggestion for making it work with Squeezelite.
I'm currently testing with a standard wired (not RF) USB keyboard and
although inputlircd seems to be running OK the key presses don't seem to
be getting through. On the tweaks page it shows LIRC as running, and on
the IR page there is a prompt to Install LIRC.

What did your lircd.conf and licrc files look like when you were testing
the mini usb keyboard? Am I heading in the wrong direction?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,
i have the same problem like pulpitculprit in post #2. When I try to
play music via LMS, the piCorePlayer works fine and i get audio output.
Now I tried to use the pCp as a bluetooth speaker. I installed the
bluetooth extensions and in the bluetooth config, my paired bluetooth
device is listed. But sound is not working.
I set the -C command to 5 like suggested a few threads before.
I updated to the latest version. I also disabled the Raspberry Pi

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Sonos + piCorePlayer v6 + SMB1

2020-05-09 Thread paul-


Why does Sonos need to connect via SMB to your pCP based server?SMB1
is likely not enabled in the conf, as it is long obsolete.

You might be able to manually edit the smb.conf file to enable it, but
then don't use the web interface to manage smb.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Sonos + piCorePlayer v6 + SMB1

2020-05-09 Thread jamirokwai


Hi there,

I am new here, and am using piCorePlayer on a Raspberry Pi 2 since a few
weeks. I added some USB-Drives, and can access LMS with some Raspi Zeros
and iPeng on my phone.
Works great so far. Nice work, it's a great piece of software. Thanks
for that!

I configured Samba with some shares, which are visible and accessible on
my Mac. So far, so good.
However, I have an original Sonos, which seem to only support SMB1. If I
try to add the share to my library in the Sonos-Software, it doesn't
work.

My question: Do I need to activate SMB1, and HOW can I activate SMB1? 

Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Jamirokwai

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] How to Get my BIOS to Recognize a USB Drive

2020-05-09 Thread Cut-Throat


OK, I have found a solution, for booting from USB with unbuntu
installed. I did some more searching on the Web and found a tool called
'Rufus' to create USB Bootable drives. It had the option to create 32 or
64 bit Clusters (Whatever they are), so I created a USB Drive with the
same 'Mint' file that I had used with the 'UNetbootin' tool.  The
'Rufus' created USB worked the first time with no problems at all.

So -  Case Closed.

Not likely to make any difference but after making the Alsamixer
adjustment via ssh, did you save the setting via the web gui ?

Under Audio output device settings


click Card Control and 

under 

ALSA Mixer Adjustment 

click save

sorry I can't help further :(

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer and On / Off software switch

Hi,
I just had another look at the documentation plink provided by Paul.
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/9da67d7329873623bd5c13fae5835d76d5be8806/arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/README#L877
>From what I understand (I might be wrong...):
  
- if you use GPIO 17 then it should work fine for a shutdown but then
  I suspect it won't work to power up.
- The Pi can be powered up using a button on GPIO 3 (pin 5), hence the
  choice made in the tutorial you referred to. BUT, from the other forum
  thread, I understand that you need to disable I2C in PcP to allow for
  the button to be listened to on that pin... see link below to the
  post. You need to make the choice...

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer and On / Off software switch

2020-05-09 Thread truscellino


Hi,
Yes exactly, if you want GPIO 17 then it's pin 11 + one pin with GND.
In the tutorial you mentioned early in this thread, they used pins 5-6
because of choice of GPIO 3, hence the Python code provided:

Code:


  GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
  GPIO.setup(3, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)
  GPIO.wait_for_edge(3, GPIO.FALLING)
  
  subprocess.call(['shutdown', '-h', 'now'], shell=False)
  


The script included in PiCorePlayer replaces that Python and in the
"Tweaks" you can select the type of button (active low or high) and the
GPIO pin. I can't see much risk in trying, worst case it won't work...
please let us know how it goes :)

Then I restart the player several times in the webgui and all of a

Is there a special setting I have to configure or is maybe my hardware
