Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 8.0.0

2022-12-22 Thread bwanatheclown


Hi all,

I've been using piCorePlayer for a while now with a USB flashdrive
plugged into my router as my main source of music.  Took me a bit of
trial and error but eventually worked out the right settings to mount
the USB using CIF.  Worked like a charm - nice cheap, super responsive
NAS!! :-)

Flash forward to yesterday when I upgraded my router to a new one which
insists on naming my USB share volume "volume(sda1)".Unfortunately
the Setup Network Disk Mount UI doesn't let me put parentheses into the
'Share name' field (I get a 'Please match the requested format error'
message) so I don't see any way to get it to mount.

I copied the mount command that pCp was generating and fixed the share
name how I wanted it just to confirm that this command does work when I
remote into the Pi and run it myself:

mount -v -t cifs -o username=user,vers=1.0,uid=1001,gid=50
//192.168.1.1/"volume(sda1)" /mnt/mymusic

Question is, how can I trick pCp so that it does this every time it
boots?  fstab seems to get regenerated on restart so I couldn't just
stick it in there.  And the router doesn't seem to have any options to
change the name.

I exhausted all my very limited Linux knowledge getting this far.  Just
wondering if there's any config file somewhere that I can manually
update to get around the UI's restrictions?

Thanks!

Yes, I do control it with Jivelite. Needle doesn't move. The Slimserver
is running on a TrueNAS Core Server.

What do you mean by "does not work"? The needles don't move?

The VU meters only work if you are controlling the squeezelite instance
on the Pi running Jivelite, they won't work if you're controlling
another player. Although you could sync the 2 players. ;)

util-linux.tcz contains a bunch of Linux commands, so I don't know what
effect it *may* have. Slight chance. We got caught with BusyBox wget vs
GNU wget a few years ago. 

One of the beauties of piCore is it rebuilds the Linux system every time
you boot. So, if you remove util-linux.tcz from onboot.lst, next boot,
nothing gets loaded and your system and it is a clean as it was before
you experimented.

Also, you can have util-linux.tcz in the extension's directory (remove
util-linux.tcz from onboot.lst) and just load it via CLI when you want
it. ($ tce-load -i util-linux.tcz)

Ironically, a couple of weeks ago I noticed a colourised version of
dmesg on one of my pCP's. I couldn't work out why, now I know!

pCP is running in RAM, you need to backup changes.   There is a backup
option in the pCP menu on Jivelite.   Or do it from the pCP web
interface.

Now with HiFiBerry Digi2 Pro it is working.

I didn't know there was a vumeter.
In PiCorePlayer itself it was missing under settings. Only when I
clicked on Download in the browser under Tweaks, Jivelite Setup, the Vu
Meter appeared in the PiCorePlayer.

Unfortunately the Vu Meter does not work. 

And even worse. At every restart/reboot comes the settings menu with
language and skin. How do I get this to go away?

Very good point, actually! I was expecting this kind of feedback,
though.
And the simple answer is: I am not too ambitious in getting something
done here. All I wanted is tinkering around bit. Just like Paul wrote:

Unfortunately, I don't have enough time available (or at least my
ambitions are not high enough to justify spending my time) for setting
up a development environment that would allow me to cross-compile for
the Pi-Platform.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Picoreplayer Hardware Volume Control

2022-12-22 Thread ralphy


squeezelite can list the mixer devices for a specific device, for use
with the -V option.

You need to add the specific device using the -o option *before* -L,
otherwise it will list the mixer(s) for the default device regardless.

For example, for my hifiberry HAT I get.

Code:

ralphy@pcp8:~$ squeezelite -o hw:CARD=sndrpihifiberry -L
  Volume controls for hw:CARD=sndrpihifiberry
  Analogue
  Analogue Playback Boost
  Digital
  Max Overclock DAC
  Max Overclock DSP
  Max Overclock PLL

I'm about to move my LMS from an X86 UPS backed server to a pi, this is
in a case with no room for juice4halt and am thus looking for an
external solution, non found so far. I need a USB based 'early power
