Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Possible that PicorePlayer 8.2 not as stable as Raspios?

2022-10-17 Thread paul-


I have zeros running for a really long time.  But every hardware
situation is different.  Is there anything other than squeezelite
running?  Memory usage comes to mind if doing extra things.

RaspiOS also is not going to use the same versions of libraries, perhaps
there is an audio driver bug.  Getting the problem to repeat is key to
figuring it out.

Which version of RaspiOS are you running, and what is the kernel
version?

When mapping a network drive on Win10, credentials were required and I
have successfully used the Samba user and password entered in the webUI.
On a different PC with a new installation, the credentials were not
accepted and I suspected I was using the wrong password. I had set up
this server awhile ago but had not installed it yet, so may have assumed
the wrong password. I wanted to rule out an incorrect password but could
not find a way to confirm or reset. So, my question is...can you just
overwrite/reset the Samba password by re-entering/saving in the web UI?

Thanks Paul

Thx Greg - No I haven’t seen any low power errors. In theory both usb
Ethernet adaptors should be the same as I bought them at the same time:
ASIX AX88772 USB 2.0 Ethernet.

All I can think of, only a guess, is the USB Ethernet adaptors are
different and there are also different drivers (or driver versions)
between pCP and RasPiOS.

Are there any low power errors messages when using pCP?

[SlimDevices: Unix] Possible that PicorePlayer 8.2 not as stable as Raspios?

2022-10-17 Thread vlgindeed

Hoping someone can help with a long standing issue I have had with a pi
zero (non wifi) / Allo miniBoss dacHat setup - using Plugable usb
Ethernet adaptors. I appreciate this might be an obscure problem, but
any info opinions welcome.

I have 2 of these setups. Both are using PiCorePlayer 6.0. Setup A is
using a 24v/4amp psu and 5v/1.2amp isolated dc-dc converter. Setup B is
using a 20v/2.2amp psu and 5v/2amp dc-dc converter (non isolated).

Setup A is rock solid - I never have and crashes of squeezelite and the
OS is stable. It is set to reboot once a week.

Setup B used to have frequent problems coming back up after a scheduled
reboot (again once per week), until I changed to a beefier psu that I
have detailed above. Now it’s in frequent that it fails to come back
up, but it still happens every few weeks. I also get the odd crash that
I have not been able to diagnose. This is random although I am usually
listening to the excellent BBC Sounds app plugin - Radio 2 Live. I
cannot ping or ssh when it happens, but the USB Ethernet adapter still
seems active ( leds on ). 

I recently upgraded setup B to PicorePlayer 8.2 - but still see the same
issues. So I decided to switch to Raspios instead with the same version
of squeezelite setup as a service. This was primarily so I could look at
logs and diagnose issues more easily after crashes, but this has proved
reliable so far with no crashes and reboots every time - have been
testing for a week now.

Does anyone have suggestions/opinions? As always, thx to all who give up
their spare time and contribute here - much appreciated.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: Squeezelite - a small headless squeezeplay emulator for linux (alsa only)

2022-10-17 Thread zzzap


How feasible is it to have Squeezelite write playing status, sample/bit
rate and gain to /proc? With option not to change volume but simply
output values to file '/proc/squeezelite' for other applications to
read.

Concrete user cases are through helper script run as daemon have
CamillaDSP adjust gain filter and possible SR + option to control an
analog gain control or infrared transmitter.

Plugin developer usually have in vested interest - they want specific
functionality added to LMS and/or accessible from LMS and the developer
will use the plugin themselves regularly.
A plugin is not just developed once and forget - it means a commitment
to support users for years - this usually means far more effort than the
development itself.

LMS is a community project - there is no development team. Michael
provides release support, maintenance and some enhancements as his time
permits. 
So a plugin for radio-browser will be developed by a third party who has
a need for it.

The UK has got itself into as situation with copyright laws and court
judgements, so the issue is very specific to UK users.
The bad news is the fact that a plugin for radio-browser has been raised
many times over many years and yet not developed, seems to indicate that
it is not top priority with anyone probably because there are
alternative good enough alternatives for most LMS users.

Jivelite was developed for a touch screen interface, although it does
work using a pointer on a desktop PC it's slow and awkward to navigate.
Why attempt to use Jivelite when there's the excellent "Material" plugin
available?

@brainchild

This morning, whilst eating my porridge I installed Jivelite on an old
Shuttle computer running Linux Mint 20.3

I used the same build procedure that I utilised on an O2 Joggler running
Debian Bullseye.

I have to start it with a command line instruction in the terminal (on
the Joggler I can set it to auto-start to the screen).

This is most likely due to my poor comprehension of Linus foo and being
a "bear of little brain" :)

As one can see there are some errors, I can post the instructions I
followed if you wish

Try the RadioNet plugin (from bpa) and compare a few results with
