So that would take care of p1 FAT, how about checking p2? And badblocks?

We discussed this probably 6 months ago and, you know, I can't remember
what the solution was. I think Paul, might have suggested an answer.

My OP for 7.0.0 is at
https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?113512-ANNOUNCE-piCorePlayer-7-0-0&p=1025785&viewfull=1#post1025785
and I tried adding forcefsck to /mnt/mmcblk0p1/cmdline.txt but it didn't
work, so I was wondering if things were different in 8.0.0.

Do I need to install one of the e2fsprogs extensions?

Also I looked at cmdline.txt again but
ls -l /mnt/mmcblk0p1/
total 0

Hmm ...

I *think* from the below that forcing fsck on boot with TC will not be
possible, unless it's done from a safe mode boot (presumably with no
network).

In the past, I have experimented with several methods of installing a
full Linux distro on an Android phone, but not recently. Things may have
improved, although my impression is that each generation of Android
makes it more difficult to do anything useful in a chroot. My experience
was that it was cool to have Debian or Ubuntu running on the phone, but
had little practical value, especially on an unrooted phone.

However, if it is possible, as you suggest, to get LMS running in a
"headless" chroot and let Android apps take care of player and control
functions, that would have great value. I hope someone can work on that.
It is beyond my skill level.



LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS. Mostly virtual players,
occasionally with SB Radio, Boom or Classic.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2021-07-25 Thread paul-


Looks like we made progress on AAC support.  I'm also integrating
selecting the codec you want to use.   Currently supporting SBC and AAC.
I'm not sure about other codecs, the licensing just looks too fishy
for me to distribute.

A pretty in depth update.  Will need to update pCP web pages, bluealsa,
and bluez.  Of course the bluez upgrade broke the speaker controls
interface, so that had to be fixed too.

I'll let you guys know when I have this finished.Pretty close.

fsck will be ran on the tce partition automatically. If either condition
is met.

1) The partition is marked dirty.  Which will almost never happen on an
EXT4 partition.
2) If the mount count is greater than the Max Mounts.  Max mounts is
disabled by default on EXT4 file systems.  You can enable the max mounts
by using tune2fs


Code:


  tune2fs -c xx /dev/mmcblk0p2
  



manual badblock scans are not done.

All overlays have information in the README file which is in the overlay
folder.   CS is not a pin in the overlay, that tells the driver which
SPI channel to use.  Your pin diagram shows CE0 is being connected, so
make sure you tell it to use cs CE0.


Code:


  Name:   st7789v-spi
  Info:   Overlay for ST7789V LCD via SPI using tinydrm driver.
  Load:   dtoverlay=st7789v-spi,=
  Params: speed   SPI bus speed (default 320)
  rotationDisplay rotation (0, 90, 180 or 270; default 0)
  width   Display width (default 240)
  height  Display height (default 240)
  col_offset  Display column offset (default 0)
  row_offset  Display row offset (default 0)
  dc_pin  GPIO pin for D/C (default 9)
  reset_pin   GPIO pin for RESET (Default Unused)
  cs  SPI chip select 0=CE0,1=CE1 (default 1)
  backlight   GPIO pin for the backlight (default 13)

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2021-07-25 Thread paul-


Alright.  Lots of changes here, hope I didn't break anything.

First, Update the bluetooth extensions from the Bluetooth web
page..after it's done, don't reboot.
Second, Goto main, and run "Patch Update" this will update your web
pages to v00017

Then reboot.

On the bluetooth page, you should see a new column.  This column is only
valid for speakers.  This setting is not smart, check your logs to see
what is happening.
35341

The logs show the device capabilities, and the current codec..if it
needs to change based on what you have set in the web page, you will see
selecting a different codec.
35340

This is where I'm not sure what to expect between devices.  Some
devices, will change gracefully.  Some devices will disconnect, then
reconnect with the requested codec.  It's possible that a device might
get stupid and stay disconnected.The good thing is that most devices
(or bluez) remember the last codec used, so future connections should
connect right away with the desired codec.

Then for the real argument..which sounds better :)

Hi,

I'm trying to restart this project, but I switched over exclusively to
Archlinux.

I tried the binaries and they gave out.  Would I be able to compile and
get it working on Archlinux or it's a fruitless effort?

So far, so good!  Tested with 'offending earbuds' and stutters no longer
apparent.   That'll do me, as they say... 
Many thanks. 

I'll test other headsets over the next couple of days.
