Still up and running since yesterday so it seems stable now.


Code:

  [5.233836] usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=7392,

...or neighbours on the same (or close) WiFi channel, of course.

Can you use something like InSSIDer (on Windows) to check the WiFi
channels in use in your vicinity: their strength and channel numbers?

Great you found a solution.

My RPi1B + WiPi is still going... 13 hours.

I have experienced wifi suddenly become unstable, but it has turned out
to be the neighbours installing newer wifi routers that *I think*
compete for channels if channel selection is set to auto.

Maybe! The quality and level did drop though.


Code:

Pos   QualityLevel
  1.  100   -11dBm
  2.  75-57dBm



I think the problems start to occur when the neighbours wifi router have
a higher quality and level than your own.

Aren't the clever PCB-based antennae on Pis _orientation_sensitive_?

I got better WiFi reception with a Pi (Pi3 actually) VERTICAL, rather
than horizontal.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Old playlists showing as empty after migration to pCP

2021-09-06 Thread w3wilkes


I know there are those that don't think playlists work well in your root
music folder, but I have always had them there with no issue. My master
music library is on a Win10 PC on a D: drive in a folder named Music
(D:\Music\). On my android phone I have a MicroSD card that I also have
a folder called Music with my full library. Within the Music folders on
both the phone and PC folder/file structure is the same. I use relative
file locations in my playlists and have never had to modify a playlist,
just copy playlists from my PC music folder to my phone music folder and
they work just fine. Here's a playlist I built for what I call "Abbey
Road Medley" and it works as is on both my phone and my PC.

The Beatles\Abbey Road\09 You Never Give Me Your Money.mp3
The Beatles\Abbey Road\10 Sun King.mp3

Hi Ronnie,

As Greg already pointed out, it is a WiPi

And I'm using the audo jack, no HAT or USB Audio.
