Is that the reason why > you are working on it? Or is there something else? Hi schup011, thanks for the comments. The main reason I'm working on it is just for fun! But beyond that, I do agree that PiCorePlayer (I assume that's what you are referring to) is a full featured solution with a great bunch of guys developing and supporting it, but I really like Alpine and I'm running it on most everything I own, from my home router, thin clients and Rpi's, to the laptop I'm typing this on. It's a really versatile distro. I also thought managing players through an LMS plugin would make it feel like an integrated solution, give you a single point of management, and also save me from having to develop an interface that ran client side. I'm also trying to have the player update itself at boot so to get the latest packages you just reboot the player. Not sure if that will go for the base OS or just the add on packages, haven't got that far yet. Got Jivelite and related support packages build for x86_64 a couple nights ago. Got an Rpi4 setup for building aarch64 and an Rpi A+ for armhf. I think those are the only 3 architectures I'm going to host packages for at this time, all of which are supported by Alpine, at least for now. There's been talk about eliminating armhf or turning it over to the community to support. We'll see what happens. There's still not much out there that competes with the Pi Zero W as far as size/value/features IMO, sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112899 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] 'Official' docker container for LMS?
dasos - this did address it, but I think in a roundabout way. So, first - creating a volume and using that as where the config folder maps woprks. But, I'm not able to determine is WHERE volumes are actually stored if you use Linux Containers on Windows. Based on the location shown in portainer, I think it's actually generated within the LinuxVM used for Linux Containers in Windows and isn't actually present anywhere on the host system. This defeats the purpose a bit since I can't access those files directly. Given, I could be misunderstanding the intention of volumes totally.

Yes. >From the LMS CLI help: Code: mode ? The "mode" command allows to query the player state and returns one of "play", "stop" or "pause". If the player is off, "mode ?" returned value is undefined. Example: Request: "04:20:00:12:23:45 mode ?" Response: "04:20:00:12:23:45 mode stop" So the pcp_lms_mode function handles the "play", "stop" or "pause" responses.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: LMS Monitor 2020
I'm currently reworking the code that communicates with the LMS server The current implementation uses in effect a telnet client to request status and data Should the LMS server reboot the connection is invalidated - but it does so "quietly" - I could fix that or... The LMS web front end and many other UI tools, e.g. iPeng, use the jsonrpc web interface This is more "robust" in that a HTTP request is really simple to process, you get 200 Ok and all is well - anything else and you can define a simple remediation tack The jsonrpc interface is also easier to process, just pass the response through the json interpreter and decompose the payload, actually a lot simpler than the decode implementation for the telnet solution. We already have several interfaces using this same setup, the "where am i" and weather implementations for example. Added to robustness is the ability to detect if the player has gone offline - we can do some interesting thing knowing that. I've a prototype in the works and just need interface it with the current "tags" mechanism, and add a few bells and whistles to the offline modes I'll ping back with details when the solution goes to the repo On the NHD1322 OLED front I'm also making progress, not ready for prime time quite yet but its of the blocks so watch out for updates on that front too As of 2020/09/11 *Total Tracks: 152,573 Total Albums: 14,063 Total Artists: 19,846 Total Genres: 712 Total Playing Time: 24417:05:11 * shunte88's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40185 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111790 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 6.0.0
HI - I moved up to 6.1 11 days ago, with no difficulty whatsoever. I migrated the setting (iec958:CARD=S6th,DEV=0) from the 5.00 output setting and it has worked for 9 days. The DAC is a SMSL Sanskrit 6 Now squeezelite refuses to start with the old setting. I've tried all the settings and still can't get any sound. Basically I must be doing something wrong, although I don't understand why it worked immediately after the upgrade and has only now ceased functioning as I've changed nothing in/on the picoreplayer setup. Does anyone have the output settings for either a SMSL Sanskrit 6 or a Topping E30? At present I've dug out an old SB2.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Request for Comments: Alps
I think it is great extending the LMS ecosystem. One question I was asking myself with your approach was the benefit compared to existing solutions. If you are using RasPi's, I think there already is a great solution that covers quite a lot, maybe everything that is possible with LMS, squeezelite and RasPi's. So your solution would cover also x86 hardware. Is that the reason why you are working on it?
