Actually, I don't think the card was my problem.

There seems to be an odd interaction between the Tweaks page and the
ALSA settings. If I toggle the LMS control bar on or off, after the
automatic squeezelite restart, the ALSA settings are blank, and of
course there is no playback. if I re-enter the settings manually, all is
well.

I tried a fresh install on a new card, and now it works.

I guess my old card is getting worn out.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 8.0.0

2021-07-31 Thread AngloCuencano


I successfully did in situ updates on a few piCore players, but one
player fails to play after updating.

This is a Pi A+ that I use with analog output in an old transistor radio
to make a portable player. The player connects to the wifi network,
Squeezeplayer is running, and "Headphones" is the selected output
device. I tried different output settings, but that made no difference.

If I hit play, there is no audio output and the playback indicator
doesn't move from zero, i.e. playback doesn't commence.

I also tried a clean install of pCP8, and that shows the same behavior.
If I reinstall pCP7, everything works.

All my other players use a HAT of one type or another, and these all
work, which leads me to suspect that using analog output might be my
problem.

Yes, it still works with pCP 7. Yes, it was a bit trial and error with
the card number at first. If you have a DAC attached, like TimG, it
seems easier to turn off the onboard audio, and then you can just select
Card 0. It might be more complicated if you want to use USB or HDMI
output. Yes, more difficult if you want an equalizer, and totally beyond
me.

But, I'm fairly confident that what I wrote will work for TimG. We have
similar setups, the only difference is that he is using the Hifiberry
Miniamp, and I use the Pimoroni pHATDAC.

I have a similar use case for a piCorePlayer built into an old
transistor radio, and I have found the asound mono settings to work
reliably. 

I usually start with Squeezelite Settings > Card Control and uncheck
Enable/disable built-in audio (so that built in audio is disabled), and
hit save. Then in Squeezelit Settings, clear the Output settings box,
and hit save. 

In the asound settings select:

Mono
Any volume adjustment you want to make
Either hw or plughw (I use plughw)
Card: 0

And hit write. Squeezelite should restart, and hopefully you will be in
business.

I did an insitu update from 3.22 to 3.5.0 audiocore. Everything appeared
to go OK, audio output was set automatically to Hifiberry DAC+ (and Pro,
AMP2) and squeezelite was running. If I attempt to play a file, the web
UI shows the file to be playing, but there is no sound. Rebooting and
powering down and back on don't help. If I revert to 3.22, everything is
fine. I note the initial post mentioned that audiocore is limited to
ArmV7, but I believe that should be fine with the Pi 2B.

I think piCorePlayer restricts the password field to alphanumeric
characters. A possible workaround would be to connect a nano router such
as the TP-Link TL-WR802N in client mode to the Pi, so that the Pi would
be operating from a wired LAN connection.

Thanks for your response, but I don't think this is my issue. Changing

Well, if you don't know...

I think the ping response is a bit of a red herring though. I tried
pinging south-america.pool.ntp.org, and that response is significantly
slower (~150ms). Nevertheless, using the south america pool as the
default consistently allows the correct time to be set.

Hi Greg - Thanks for the reply. I had wondered if this might be network
related. The automatic time zone selection is correct, so it seems that
communication with the ntp pool is the problem. I could not see on the
'Tweaks' page where to specify a time server, so I did a little digging
under the hood. I edited /etc/sysconfig/ntpserver to force the
south-america pool and added this file to /opt/.filetool.lst to make the
change persistent. So far after several test reboots the time has been
set correctly.

Thanks again.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce piCorePlayer 3.20

2017-07-25 Thread AngloCuencano

I have two piCorePlayers (Pi Zero/phatDAC and Pi A+/IQAudio DAC +, both
wireless) neither of which consistently sets the correct time on boot
and then defaults to December 1969.

This doesn't seem to affect the performance of the Zero, but the A+ has
the official Raspberry Pi touchscreen and failure to set the correct
time interferes with screensaver operation - 1) the 'stopped'
screensaver (Word Clock) never starts, 2) the 'now playing' screen is
not automatically selected when play begins, but can be selected
manually.

Is there any way to improve the reliability of setting the time?

I am having a problem with vanilla version of 3.20.

System is a Pi 2B/IQAudio DAC+ and I am currently running a wired
connection. PCP appears to load correctly and I can access the web GUI
without any problem. I have selected the correct output, Squeezelite is
running and I can play music.

The problem is with the display (official Raspberry Pi touch screen).
The last output I get is:

Starting Jivelite .. Done.
crond syncing time
crond [631] time disparity of xxx minutes detected

The display hangs at this point. 

The time zone is set to ECT5. This is correct for my location, Ecuador,
and the bar at the bottom of the web GUI is showing the correct date and
time.

This might be part of your problem. For me, the "output setting" on the
squeezelite page is blank and squeezelite starts OK. I do remember when
I was setting this up that at one point I had a problem with squeezelite
not starting, but unfortunately I can't remember how I got it to work

the normal version? I'm using the Audiocore version, but I think mono
should still work with either version.

I got the screen for Christmas, so I presume it's the newer screen. The
power and audio cables are at the bottom. Everything works perfectly
well now with the default rotate setting, but it was a nonsensical
process to get there. First boot - upside down. Change to 'rotate

reboot - display is correct.

I've had some strange behaviour with screen rotation with my Pi 2B. On
first boot the display is upside down. Select 'rotate screen' and reboot
- still upside down. Select normal rotation and reboot - everything is
fine and continues to be with further reboots. Makes no sense to me.

FWIW, I've noticed some occasional random popping recently when players

I have the same set up as you that I power successfully with a 2A supply
from Adafruit: https://www.adafruit.com/products/1994

The output voltage is 5.25V as explained here from the Adafruit
description: This adapter was specifically designed to provide 5.25V not
5V, but we still call it a 5V USB adapter. We did this on purpose to
solve a problem that occurs often with USB-powered gadgets: they draw so
much current than the resistance of the cable causes a voltage drop, so
instead of 5V, the device sees 4.75V or so. To avoid this problem, we
made the adapter 5.25V. This is because the USB power specification
allows up to 5.25V, and its safe for all 5V electronics, and has the
benefit of making up for any loss due to thin USB cables. Basically, you
can use it where ever USB 5V power is needed, with no risk of damage,
and it will happily work at the full current range, no matter what cable
you use!

If you are currently using a thin (i.e. high resistance) USB cable, you
might get better performance with a thicker cable without having to
change the power supply.

I had a similar problem with a fresh install of the new 3.0 and a backed
up config using Hifiberry Digi. 

I think that the old config is not being transferred totally correctly.
For example, static IP was not transferred. I also noticed under Tweaks
that Alsa Output Level was set to "Custom", which I don't think was the
original setting. In any event, I reset output to "Default" and for good
measure removed the Equalizer. Then on the Squeezelite page under
"Output" I put in the correct string (listed by clicking "more"). After
a reboot, squeezelite was running and I could reinstall the Equalizer
without any problem.

This does not work for me using the Hifiberry Digi.

Maybe try "Proxied Streaming", i.e. let LMS handle the connection to
your internet stream and then send the stream to your player:

Settings > Player > Audio > Streaming Method
