Thanks Wirrunna,

I just tested my RPi3A+ with wpa_supplicant.config with pCP7.0.0b6 and
it worked OK.

I don't have a RPi3A to test.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 7.0.0 - Public Beta

2020-11-09 Thread mcduman


another strong release from the Team based on picore 12.x. Best news for
all pi enthusiasts. Congratulations and thanks.   I clean installed and
listened for a few hours to tidal, deezer and spotify and everything
worked as expected  (i sometimes have an issue with some tidal tracks
finishing early but that is possibly an LMS issue and did not happen
with 7.0.0) I noticed that

The setup command greatly improved
there were some changes in packages, crda went and rng-tools came 
pcp-update finds an update for never_remove

many thanks again to all.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 6.0.0

2020-11-09 Thread paul-


There were several users trying to get the Merus Amp to work.  I think I
finally cracked it.

_Disable_onboard_audio_
dtparm=audio=off

_Disable_SPI_
Remove the spi=on from the line

Code:


  deparam=i2c_arm=on,spi=on,i2s=on



Then on the Squeezelite page, make sure you limit the sample rate to
48000.

Also, make sure you do not play any music until you have turned down the
Limit Threashold as described in the docs.  If you try to play music
with the default Alsa settings, it will likely lockup the amplifier chip
requiring a reboot.

Once things are set in alsa mixer, then you should save the alsa
settings on the "Card Control" Page.

I'll see about adding some better controls in pCP7.

Cool idea!Thx for the tip. Will definitely buy this. 

For my bathroom, will split controller and player. In-ceiling speakers
and wires will go in a dedicated technical cupboard hooked to a
pi4+AMP2. And in the bathroom, the controller will consist of a SB Touch
or a Pi4+Screen. Will need to see if it I hang it or just leave it
standing.

When powering off from picore interface, does it bring the pi & amp into
standby?

Well Done piCorePlayer Team,
Upgraded 2 RPi 3b players with no problems. 
Then tried a 3a player with wpa_supplicant.conf but it wouldn't connect
to WiFi. Re-flashed the SD card and booted a 3b with the card, set up
wifi, put the card back into the 3a and it worked, so continued with the
setup.

I have set it to 20 and now it boots. Great!
I am near the situation like before with 6.1.0. The boot is a little bit
slower but that is the slow stick, the sd-card is faster.

So I have to say that you did a great job! Thank you very much for this!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 7.0.0 - Public Beta

2020-11-09 Thread paul-


casten_h,

The firmware and kernel access the USB stick differently.  While the
firmware loads the kernel and boots the system, It takes time for the
kernel to find the USB drives.   Edit cmdline.txt on the boot partition,
and increase the value of waitusb=xxx until your system boots reliably. 
I've seen some USB devices take 6-8 seconds for the kernel to find
them.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 7.0.0 - Public Beta

2020-11-09 Thread paul-


Couple of other thoughts here.  pCP has always been a headless type
system, with jivelite as the only potential interface.  With the
revitalization of piCore OS, there has been a lot of improvements in the
repos.  piCore now supports the rpi  vc4-kms-v3d/vc4-kms-v3d-pi4
drivers, which gives full 3d hardware acceleration.  In 64 bit mode,
currently only the fkms drivers work, but that still give 3d
acceleration.   Firefox web browser is available (epiphany also)

Those wanting a lightweight full desktop interface, that should be
easily done now.   And provided you are not using LMS on that system,
you still get "pull the plug" at anytime support. If there is interest
here, we can work on some how-to's

Ok, then it is no problem here, because I use a Hifiberry for the 3B+.
Only my Pi4 with LMS uses USB output.

And for the in place update, it's no problem, I just wanted to know.
So I think I can upgrade my 3B+ as there is not so much to configure
(only Hifiberry, Jivelite and the 7" display) and and I can easily start
from scratch.

carsten_h,

Yes, that includes the 3B+.   USB will work, but it won't be stable
enough for USB audio.  All RPI boards before the 4B have a pretty
significantly flawed USB implementation.  The work around has always
been the FIQ driver.

Yes, updates will follow.  I have it mostly tested out, but right now, I
needed to get some extra hands on the new release.  I didn't want folks
to upgrade in place and have unforeseen problems.  I do a lot of
testing, but there is only so much Greg and I can test.

Thanks Ronnie

It's all rather strange but before posting I rebooted several times
whilst I tweaked some settings all to no avail. After your reply I
thought I'd give a reboot one last try before trying the reinstall
option. On this occasion it worked and I now get 'IO::Socket::SSL:
2.060' as expected. No idea why it didn't work earlier but your input
is, as always, much appreciated.

You could first try a LMS restart, if that is no good, then a pCP
reboot, if that fails, then go to main Page in pcp and update the pcp
version, this should just install over the current version (I know it's
the same :D)

Morning All

I seem to have an issue with the IO::Socket::SSL on my system.

My Pi4 server runs LMS via pCP 6.1.0 with the following info…

Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.4 - 1603273368 @ Thu Oct 22 04:21:56
CEST 2020
Hostname: piCoreLMS64
Server IP Address: 192.168.0.16

Platform Architecture: armv7l-linux

Audio::Scan: 1.02
IO::Socket::SSL: Nothing
Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.58 (sqlite 3.22.0)
Total Players Recognized: 12

I use a variety of players and have Material Skin as my default option.
I don’t understand the significance but I see that I have nothing
against IO::Socket::SSL which doesn’t look right? If I putty into my PI4
and enter the command ‘openssl version’ it reports OpenSSL 1.1.0l 10 Sep
2019 but that isn’t showing in LMS.

This causing some problems with the BBc iPlayer plugin but I also get
these errors on the plugins page
