You can also enable SAMBA server on pCP so that you can copy files to it
from Windows (or other things that can use SMB protocol).

Nah, didn't let me do that.  Tried single quotes, double quotes as well.
No luck.

Ha ha, you know what.I don't have a GREAT reason.  I think I came up
with the idea before I realised how it all works and that multiple
PiCorePlayers (I have two) can use the same LMS!  I guess the
convenience of being able to copy new stuff over in Windows was good -
but I do that so rarely anyway.

Thanks for pointing out the embarrassingly obvious!  I think I'll run
with it. ;)

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Rpi4 + PCP 8 vs Audiophile Streamer

2022-12-23 Thread RobbH


Just curious, because this is not something I have looked into. How many
of those audiophile streamers are based on a Raspberry Pi?



Usually running latest beta LMS nightly on Raspberry Pi OS with virtual
players (Squeezelite and Airplay bridge). Occasionally using SB Radio,
Boom or Classic.

You've one of the best DAC's out there (And one I'd love to afford !)

Given this and the fact that the signal is digital before the DAC there
will be no difference

if your new streamer will feed the same DAC, the odds of any difference

Unlikely. But more info needed. what is the rPi feeding? A DAC? How
connected?

[SlimDevices: Unix] RaspPi Symfonisk: Alsa settings / LADSPA-Plugin

2022-12-23 Thread joerg74

Hi Forum,

some time ago I was playing around with some used slimdevices, having a
Radio in the bathroom, a Boom for my office and some raspberry pis with
Hifiberry-Amps in the living and dining room. Unfortunately there were
always some minor hassles and after some renovation works I did not
re-install the Pi-speaker combinations after the painters left the
house. We are just listening via an Alexa speaker...

I was thinking about buying some Symfonisk from IKEA, but also wanted to
add a CD-Player to the setup and as I found out this would mean several
hundreds to be spent. 
That Sonos discontinued the devices before 2015 left me quite concerned
about their customer-oriented business (thinking about my brother who
spent 2k€ some years ago for equipment that is not supported with their
new software S2 any more...).

While surfing the net I found an article where someone replaced the
Sonos-internals of a Symfonisk speaker with a Pi Zero and an Hifiberry
Amp. They used a plugin to do the filtering work for certain frequencies
so that the player routes the high frequencies via one stereo channel to
the tweeter and the low frequencies via the other stereo channel to the
midrange driver. 

I found an empty Symfonisk case incl. the drivers for 20€ on ebay
(someone used the internals to convert an active sub into a Sonos sub)
and followed the instructions on raspberry-pi-geek. While looking for
the pre-compiled extension, I found the same article in english on
linux-magazine.com. 

I did the following:

- copied the asound.conf from the tutorial to /etc/ of the raspberry
  pi without any modifications
- copied the rt-plugins-0.0.6.tcz to /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional
- added rt-plugins-0.0.6.tcz to onboot.lst
- activated ladspa extension via the web interface
   

In general it is working, but it sounds really poor. It does not sound
like this frequency filtering is working.

The tutorial was made for piCorePlayer 6.0.0 and I am not sure if this
makes a difference...
Do I need to modify the asound.conf? 
I am not sure if I can use the pre-compiled extension rt-plugins for pCP
8.2.0
How can I check that the extension is working?
Was is right to acticate the ladspa extension? 

I am a little bit lost, It would be great if someone could help me.

Best regards
Jörg

[SlimDevices: Unix] Rpi4 + PCP 8 vs Audiophile Streamer

2022-12-23 Thread sdiesel77


Hi All,
I've been using a Rpi4 with touch screen and Picoreplayer 8 on it for
many years and I'm quite happy with it.

However, for a while, I keep asking myself, would there be a difference
of sound quality with a standalone "audiophile" streamer? (ie: Chord,
Auralic, Rose, etc..)

Anybody have been able to test and compare? [emoji848]

Thanks [emoji120]

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer LMS installation after power outage

2022-12-23 Thread agburnsky


Howard brings up a good question, why do some people have issues with
power outages impacting LMS on picoreplayer and others don't.

I will have a power outage about ever month and have never corrupted a
picoreplayer install.  I have a usb flash drive for music storage
attached to my picoreplayer. I have LMS installed with the cache on the
flash drive. I use a quality SD card and usb flash drive, like Sandisk,
Samsung, etc. My usb flash drive is formatted NTFS.

is it the card quality, is it the file format or just luck?  For
example, issue have been tied to remote drives to connect or traditional
drives waiting for a disk to spin up after an outage.

So please, share your setup, maybe the there is a common thread among
users with this issue.

Good luck with it.

Anthony

I'm sure you have a reason for this approach that I'm simply not
thinking about, but my first thought was why not avoid all this and plug
the USB drive directly into the rPi and mount from there instead of the
router. That's what many piCorePlayer users do.
