Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite for piCorePlayer

2021-06-21 Thread afriend


I've set pCP/jivelite to return to the NowPlaying screen after x seconds
without interaction (is it called the screensaver setting?). 
And I've noticed that this 'screensaver setting' doesn't apply to the
NowPlaying's current playlist screen - which makes sense.

Do you think you could add another exception for the *lyrics* submenu?
Right now it's really hard to following the lyrics of a track when the
screensaver kicks in again and again after x seconds (though I do want
the screensaver to do just that anywhere else).
Thank you.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] PiCorePlayer and wifi Access Point in Bridge mode

2021-06-21 Thread Wirrunna


epoch1970,
I reflashed the SD card to pCP 7, 32 bit, installed in a rP1 4b and went
through the updates and setup and it works as you said.
Once more the 64 bit pCP 7 is not quite up to speed (my Allo Boss2
initially needed pCP 7 32 bit to work) no big deal.

>From a former life in IT project management I would suggest that there
is too much variation creeping in, stick with only one flavour of pCP. 
The Raspberry OS is only in 32bit.

Very convenient to have a WAP on my bench that also plays music and can
be powered off at the mains rather than having to SSH in and sudo
shutdown.

Paul, again, thank you for getting this going and if you need testing ,
just ask.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite on a Pirate Audio 240x240 screen

2021-06-21 Thread nincompoop


Hi,

I had a pcp6 on a Zero with Pirate Audio that I upgraded to pcp7.0.0
today. Some additional tweaks that weren't obvious to me. 

Rotate screen: in config.txt (see 'instructions in post 348'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?111502-Jivelite-on-a-Pirate-Audio-240x240-screen&p=971970&viewfull=1#post971970))
change 

Code:

dtoverlay=st7789v-spi


to

Code:

dtoverlay=st7789v-spi,rotation=180


This was pointed out by Paul- in 'this post'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?111502-Jivelite-on-a-Pirate-Audio-240x240-screen&p=981908&viewfull=1#post981908)
but since st7789 is not in the overlays/README it's good to look at
Paul's post.

I never got the LCD to switch off when powering down Squeezelite from
the Logitech Media Server web interface. I settled for running a script
(in Squeezelite Settings > Change Squeezelite Settings > Power on/off
script) that sets the PWM on pin 13 either at 0 (off) or a predefined
number (on.) I wanted to switch the screen on/off by toggling a GPIO.
>From 'this schematic' (https://pinout.xyz/pinout/pirate_audio_line_out)
I gather the LCD is always on, i.e. one cannot switch it off by toggling
a pin. 

I would like to have the Pi put out boot messages on the LCD, it was
surprisingly useable for that, but I can't remember how I did that on
pcp6.

You're correct.
There is a glitch in the matrix, you should just disregard the "AP IP
Address" field. The field is mandatory so set it to a random address on
an unused network or leave it to its default value if possible.

PCP7 works indeed in bridged AP mode. Don't hesitate to reboot once or
twice after having configured it via the GUI. There is no need to dive
in the scripts or config files.

Starting LMS is not needed.
That is referring to LMS running on your pCP ... which it probably is
not doing ... assuming you want to keep using the LMS on your other
server.

If this is to be a player-only pCP then click on the player tab at the
bottom of the screen then the confusing LMS info will disappear.

Thanks Paul for your input.
I am not sure if I was clear in my question.
I meant after installing pCP, I go on the Squeezelite Setting and set
the DAC and the name of the player. But, do I need to go on the LMS tab,
install LMS and start it, or starting LMS isn't needed?

In theory it (Squeezelite) could use the LMS in the sky that is
mysqueezebox.com - however, ISTR that it does not because
mysqueezebox.com wants to see real Squeezebox hardware players.
So ... yes ... you should start an LMS locally and the one on your
Openmediavault should be fine for that.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Do I need to start LMS if I want to use PiCorePlayer as a player only?

2021-06-21 Thread Naass


Greetings to all,
I installed LMS on my Openmediavault server and it works fine.
I installed Squeezelite on a Pi4 running Raspbian Pi4 to stream from my
LMS.
It works, but I found pCP setting more practical than the Squeezelite by
SSH!
My question is: if I want to run pCP as a player only, do I still need
to start LMS?
Thanks for your help.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] PiCorePlayer and wifi Access Point in Bridge mode

2021-06-21 Thread Wirrunna


I tried a rPi 3b and was able to get that to work, sort of. My laptop
could see the test network but not connect. WiFi Analyzer showed the
SSID but the signal level seemed to drop after a few minutes. Had
another go with the rPi 4b, still no luck.

Googled Raspberry Pi wifi Access Point and found
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/access-point-bridged.md
, so downloaded the latest rPi OS (not called Raspbian anymore) flashed
it to a spare card and set it up on the rPi 4b.  Worked first go.

Now, where are the config files that are set up on piCorePlayer ?

Ok so how does one do that? The "User Commands" seem to run after LMS so
I'm guessing that's no good.

It'd be handy to have something like this run periodically to get some

In the pCP web interface look under Tweaks/Audio tweaks - you can
