Look at the piCorePlayer applet in Jivelite, along with backup, there is
an option specifically to deal with the screen off screensaver.

When that happens does the HDMI LED indicator turns off, or blinks?

For the settings on reboot … there is a menu item in the pCP specific
part of Jivelite to make a backup - because pCP avoids writing to
storage unless told to do it.

Try the real IP address of the LMS server and not 127.0.0.1 just in case
the broadcast UDP packet from squeezelite doesn't work with 127.0.0.1

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 8.0.0

2023-01-02 Thread wcndave


So I have been using LMS for nearly 20 years now, and then went to
Joggler devices to replace old Logitech Touch devices, and recently
tried Volumio as a "modern" replacement.
However, it's multi-room doesn't work, and spotify is broken... but then
my jogglers all stopped working (contact me if you want one - I have 5 I
think)...

So I went to Pi4 with PCP and pi4 displays, and it's pretty good,
however one issue.  I want the screen to go blank when not playing
(something I could never get working with the joggler without hitting
the power icon).
And this does work, I have screen saver set to "screen off", when not
playing.

However, when I come back more than about 12 hours later, the whole
thing is not responsive and requires a reboot, and as this is PoE, that
means going to my switch in basement.
Also, the screensaver settings are all lost, so I have to set them all
over again...

I guess I am missing something in my setup, so any pointers, or tips on
this scenario would be gratefully appreciated!

Thanks, and happy new year!

Dave

Which OS is on the Odroid and how did you install Squeezelite ?

Have you tried any of the other outputs in the Config string ?

Does the card work with any other software player?

I'm trying to get squeezelite to work on a Odroid C4 with the Odroid
HifiShield2 DAC HAT.


Code:

squeezelite -l


gives:

But then:

seems to take forever / no response.
Any ideas how to resolve this?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Noob Question - HDMI output with pCP/Jivelite and attached screen.

2023-01-02 Thread Paul Webster


I don't remember if pCP is happy driving 2 screens.
However, an alternative approach is to run some extra software to
customise the output to a screen.
I am sure that there is more than one set of tooling that does this -
but I noticed this one was discussed recently.
https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?116489-Track-Info-etc-on-OLED-for-PCP
I think the display part is generic and does not rely on using
AudioSabre DAC.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Noob Question - HDMI output with pCP/Jivelite and attached screen.

2023-01-02 Thread Eserim


So, after SB2 died (see
https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?117314-SB2-Display-died-after-power-loss)
I want to reproduce it, complete with clock "screen saver" 

I've got as far as a Pi2B with pCP and Jivelight sending output via HDMI
to receiver, which then displays interface on big TV and plays the
sound.

If I add a small screen to the Pi, will it echo what the TV shows? If
so, does Jivelight have to be set with a skin that works on the smaller
display?

Many thanks

[SlimDevices: Unix] Deadlock found on MySQL

2023-01-02 Thread Jos Geluk


I do a full automatic wipe and rescan at 5:00 daily. A while ago I
switched from SQLite to MySQL. This gave a slightly better performance.
However, more often than not, te rescan fails with:

Error: Couldn't execute SQL statement: [DELETE FROM playlist_track;] :
[Carp::Clan::__ANON__(): DBI Exception: DBD::mysql::db do failed:
Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction [for
Statement "DELETE FROM playlist_track;"] at
/usr/share/perl5/Slim/Schema/Storage.pm line 125]

And my music collection appears completely empty. I then need to do a
manual rescan, which always succeeds.
The failing statement is one of the first in
/usr/share/squeezeboxserver/SQL/mysql/schema_clear.sql. I tried changing
that to:

DELETE FROM playlist_track where id in (select id from playlist_track);

But that turned up the same error the next day. I can't imagine why
there would be a deadlock on that that table at that time of night.
Certainly no other processes are running that affect this database. I
found only very old mentions of this error. 

Is there anything I can do to ensure the SQL will work? I'm running
MySQL 8.0.31 on Ubuntu Server 20.04.5 LTS. Thanks for any ideas.

I tried starting it manually over SSH:

Any ideas?
