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

2022-10-19 Thread mr-b


Tx, I've worked out some of what was going wrong.

After I'd updated my second PCP and BT stopped working, I spotted there
was a new status bullet "Bluealsa is running".
Then I saw a new section with a "BT Output Device" setting which was
blank. The possible values looked similar to the Squeezelite audio
output setting but with ",DEV=0" tacked on the end, so I guessed at
that.
I looked at the Alsa Volume setting which recommended to check
alsamixer. I found that under under Squeezelite but could not make head
nor tail of the settings so i've ignored it for now.
But the BT output now works! :-)

Checking the the first PCP, it didn't have the Bluealsa bullet despite
my verifying that no BT updates were available. After multiple browser
refreshes by chance I spotted that PCP was on 8.1.0 when the second was
on 8.2.0.
So I upgraded PCP in-situ and then the four BT bullets were present. I
set the BT output setting and that works too! Phew! :-)

Maybe the BT update checker (which also seems to take well over a minute
each time) could check the PCP version too, if that's a known
compatibility issue?

I'll look at Win11 again another day ...

I suspect Windows 11 is going to be a problem, I don't have any Windows
11 machines, and I don't plan on it for a while.

As for the tablet, The BT update included new codecs, and brought volume
control.  I cannot tell, if things are playing without any volume, or if
there is nothing playing at all.

I have just tested powering off the player in my LMS and playing music
from my phone by Bluetooth but I dont get sound.
I have tested with piCore v8.1 and also doesnt work. I am thinking maybe
the problem is my DAC

Material -Skin- being a single-page Javascript web-app requires a HTML
redering engine - which a browser or Electron would provide. (AFAIK,
Electron -is- chromium just packed per-app). I have written a smalll Qt
app that uses Blink (chromium's rendering engine) which I currently use
for displaying LMS. See https://github.com/CDrummond/qwebappwrapper
Perhaps this is what you are referring to? I have thought about
expandnig this to be LSM specific, and add things such as server
discovery, MPRIS, etc., but am too busy at the moment and it currently
suffices for my needs.



*Material debug:* 1. Launch via http: //SERVER:9000/material/?debug=json
(Use http: //SERVER:9000/material/?debug=json,cometd to also see update
messages, e.g. play queue) 2. Open browser's developer tools 3. Open
console tab in developer tools 4. REQ/RESP messages sent to/from LMS
will be logged here.
