You could be lucky but I expect further issues.

Can RasPi Check issue a "sudo -s" as the first command?

I use this to elevate tc to root in winSCP.

Thanks for the reply - what I learned from the RasPi Check debug
messages - they just use vcgencmd without sudo. So my plan was to add
the user 'tc' to sudoiers but that's the point I struggle see Post
https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?113512-ANNOUNCE-piCorePlayer-7-0-0&p=1019791&viewfull=1#post1019791

I may be wrong - but from my point of view it could work - if I knew how
to add 'tc' and use vcgencmd without sudo.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 7.0.0

[chazza]

I have a RPI 2B with PCP 7.0.0 and Jivelite running nicely on a 3.5 inch
Waveshare LCD (Wav35Skin)

However, I think i need to edit ClockApplet.lua to get the clock
screensaver working as there is no entry in the script for the Wav35skin
and, of course, when setting the screensaver to e.g. DotMatrix or
digital clock, there is no display.

I think all i need to do is add 'Wav35Skin' to the _isWQVGASkin function
as per below:

local function _isWQVGASkin(skinName)
if skinName == 'WQVGAsmallSkin' or skinName == 'WQVGAlargeSkin' or
skinName == 'Wav35Skin' then
return true
end
end

But, because the mounted FS is read only i am stuck - i cant find any
way to edit this file - help please :-) !

Thanks

piCorePlayer uses piCore which may not be compatible with RasPi Check. I
suspect RasPi Check was written assuming your Raspberry Pi was using a
"normal" Linux distribution with bash included and the additional RPi
utilities already included.

Ask the RasPi Check developers if it is compatible with piCore.

[SlimDevices: Unix] PiCorePlayer - JiveLite brightness settings menu

[chazza]

Hi there, i am almost done putting the following together: RPi2 +
Waveshare 3.5" TScreen + DAC + IR remote - but .

I have hacked the Touchscreen as descrbied in the forums with a
transistor and i have the pigpio extension added and it works through
the brightness settings control - hurrah !

However, once i am in the brightness menu, i can't get out as i am using
a Slim Devices remote. The display says to use Home or Escape to exit
!!

I had a look at PiCorePlayer Applet in the repo and it looks like i need
to shange the following lines - but i'm not sure how to -> I guess i
want to use the left / back button the remote to exit as per all other
menus - Help please ?

popup:addActionListener("back", self,
cancelBrightnessAction)
popup:addActionListener("go_home", self,
cancelBrightnessAction)
popup:addActionListener("scanner_rew", self,
cancelBrightnessAction)

Usually the manufacturers get their drivers included in Raspberry Pi OS.
Once it has been included, we make it available in the next version of
piCorePlayer.

Thanks a lot - that works


Code:

tc@piCorePlayer:~$ sudo vcgencmd measure_temp
  temp=54.6'C
  


But I'm struggle with step two - because I can't send a sudo via
RasPiCheck, I did the following

Code:

tc@piCorePlayer:~$ sudo addgroup sudo
  tc@piCorePlayer:~$ sudo adduser tc sudo
  tc@piCorePlayer:~$ sudo backup


reboot

Code:


  tc@piCorePlayer:~$ id tc
  uid=1001(tc) gid=50(staff) groups=50(staff),44(video),1000(sudo)
  


But it does not work :( Still need the sudo to execute vcgencmd

Cool! I was watching this thread but didn't have any ideas to jump in
with, glad you got it working. Your timing is funny because I was just
thinking about the stack of M300's I have and whether I should go back
and update all the armel packages to see if I was still having the data
corruption issues that made me give up the first time around.

@ralphy, are you still using the M300's with Alpine? Any issues?

Dug through the /var/log/message file on rootfs, turns out the pogoplug

Assigned a static one at /etc/network/interfaces, and lo and behold:

Thanks for the quick reply.

I believe sodface's armel_genrootfs.sh already enables PermitRootLogin.

I also tried adding those 4 lines to /etc/securetty, but still couldn't
ssh.

Here's how the boot process goes on the pogoplug_v4:
1. power up, blinking green led light
2. netconsole begins to display u-boot log | blinking green led light,
pogoplug can be pinged
3. after netconsole logs end with "Starting kernel...", led light turns
to solid orange, pogoplug cannot be pinged (Destination Host
Unreachable)
4. after a while, led light turns solid green, but pogoplug still cannot
be pinged

  tc@piCorePlayer:~$
  



sudo vcgencmd seems to do nothing. I'll tried to pipe the output into a
file - but also empty. So what package do I missing?

On the other hand I'm not sure how to send a sudo via RaspiCheck. The
only thing in the setup I see is to put in a sudo password... could I
avoid the sudo somehow?

[SlimDevices: Unix] LMS / PCP / UPnP - Ocean Digital

[nowhinjing]

I recently bought an Ocean Digital Internet radio - WR210N - in
anticipation of (finally) being able to travel again (one day!). It's a
nice piece of kit - reasonable sound - good battery life and eminently
portable, I use it a lot around the house. 

I wondered if I could connect it to my music collection, currently
hosted on a PI3B+ running PCP + LMS, so I installed Andy Grundman's
UPnP/DNLA plugin, tried to connect to my LMS server and got nothing,
nada, ziltch !

I bit of trawling through the net with Google finally gave me this post,
which beautifully explains the problem and outlines the solution.


Code:


  
https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?110925-UPnP-DLNA-Media-Interface-1-0-must-listen-to-port-1900-with-Ocean-Digital-WR-230S
  



So I decided to see if I could implement the suggested fix and check
whether it works. 

Good News, it does. :D  I can now connect to my music collection. 

Basically what I have done is to unpack slimserver.tcz from the SD card,
modify Discovery.pm, and pack it all back again. Works like a charm, the
only caveat is the you have to do it every time there is a new LMS
version. 

Perhaps someone a little more savvy than I could look at parameterising
the plugin to achieve the same result.

However, this is what I did using a Deepin 20.2 virtual machine :-


Code:


  # Mount your SD card - not detailed as it depends on your set-up
  
  # Get root access
  sudo su
  
  # Enter password to allow root operations
  
  # Change to root level
  cd /  
  
  # Make a work Directory
  mkdir /home/user/Documents/TCZ
  
  # Copy slimserver.tcz to your work area
  cp /media/user/PCP_ROOT/tce/optional/slimserver.tcz 
/home/user/Documents/TCZ/slimserver.tcz
  
  # Unsquash it
  unsquashfs -d /home/user/Documents/TCZ/squashfs-root 
/home/user/Documents/TCZ/slimserver.tcz
  
  # Rename the original file (just in case)
  mv /home/user/Documents/TCZ/slimserver.tcz 
/home/user/Documents/TCZ/slimserver-orig.tcz
  
  # Edit Discovery.pm
  nano 
/home/user/Documents/TCZ/squashfs-root/usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Plugin/UPnP/Discovery.pm
  
  # Find the Lines
  # DLNA 7.2.3.5, ignore M-SEARCH with source port 1900 or <1024
  if ($port == 1900 || $port <= 1024) {
  # And Change to read
  # DLNA 7.2.3.5, ignore M-SEARCH with source port 1900 or <1024
  #if ($port == 1900 || $port <= 1024) {
  # DLNA 7.2.3.5, ignore M-SEARCH with source port <1024 (Allow 1900 for Ocean 
Digital, etc.)
  if ($port <= 1024) {
  # NOTE: if statements DO NOT have a leading #
  
  # Resquash it
  mksquashfs /home/user/Documents/TCZ/squashfs-root 
/home/user/Documents/TCZ/slimserver.tcz
  
  # Create an MD5 Checksum
  md5sum /home/user/Documents/TCZ/slimserver.tcz > 
/home/user/Documents/TCZ/slimserver.tcz.md5.txt
  
  # Now copy the new files 
  cp /home/user/Documents/TCZ/slimserver.tcz 
/media/user/PCP_ROOT/tce/optional/slimserver.tcz
  cp /home/user/Documents/TCZ/slimserver.tcz.md5.txt 
/media/user/PCP_ROOT/tce/optional/slimserver.tcz.md5.txt
  
  # Tidy up
  rm -r /home/user/Documents/TCZ/*
  



This bodge should work with any UPnP player that relies on port 1900 for
M-Search to look for a suitable server.

I hope it will be of use to someone.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Alpine Linux on Dell M300

Looks like the boot loader was successful.

That's all the messages you'll get using netconsole.  Output from the
kernel booting is not displayed.


Did you enable ssh connections as root by adding

PermitRootLogin yes

in /etc/ssh/sshd_config

and these lines to the bottom of /etc/securetty

pts/0
pts/1
pts/2
pts/3

in the rootfs before trying to boot?

It seems there is lmsmpris (from Hifiberry OS):
https://github.com/hifiberry/lmsmpris which can control squeezelite.
But maybe it needs to run on the LMS Server, which is of no use for a
simple client.

[SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer/squeezelite and Bluetooth media control?

[carsten_h]

Hello!

I searched a little bit for Bluetooth media controls in Linux because it
would be great to use the media controls on my headphone to control my
piCorePlayer.
What I found is this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MPRIS#Bluetooth

So it seems that the mpris-proxy has to be started to receive the
bluetooth media controls.
But I don't know if squeezelite can receive something from mpris, as it
is not mentioned as a supported client.

Maybe someone with knowledge in this parts can look at this.

Or isn't there any interest in using this?
