There seem to be quite a few Python packages available for pCP. I'm not
much of a Python user, so I've never installed them.

I have set up a Raspberry Pi as a piCorePlayer/LMS server with a
momentary switch that has an LED. It uses the 'On-Off shim'
(https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/onoff-shim?variant=41102600138) set
as described 'here'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?109734-piCorePlayer-Pimoroni-OnOff-Shim=934292=1#post934292).

I wired the switch to the On-Off shim. You need to have a 1k resistor
between the -ve terminal of the switch and the On-Off shim (between the
-ve and GND).

Works very well, the switch is illuminated while the Pi is running.

Assuming you are wanting to set this up with a WiFi connection on the
new router, I think the simplest solution would be to connect the Pi to
your router by ethernet, and use the pCP web GUI to select the new
router's wifi SSID and password. That should sort it. I always allocate
the pCP device a fixed IP address via the router.

As mentioned earlier in this thread, I'm using a Pi Zero2 as an LMS
server, and I can confirm this is with the 32 bit version of pCP  and
with LMS 8.2.1.

It did choke on processing an excessively large embedded image file (I
posted on this elsewhere), presumably reflecting limited RAM and
processing power.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] LMS Crashing on PiCorePlayer 8.1 / Pi 2 Zero W

2022-03-15 Thread Grumpy Bob


My current 'travel LMS server' is a Raspberry Pi Zero 2. It is running
on PCP 8.1.0 and the LMS version is 8.2.0 - 1627922070 @ Tue Aug 3
11:43:18 CEST 2021
Music files are on a 2Tb SSD USB connected drive. Other than being a bit
slow on a clear and re-scan, this device has been pretty solid for a few
months now.
I have a relatively minimal plugin set installed.

It might still work, as it only uses a few pins - check the instructions
as they show it sandwiched between an expansion board and the Pi:


"Our SHIMs (Shove Hardware in the Middle) are a new range of
boards designed to be small, affordable, and handy. They're just 0.8mm
thick (the bare board, not including mounted components) and designed to
be soldered straight onto the GPIO pins of your Pi, if you wish, so that
you can use them with HATs and pHATs on top."

That said, I am using the earlier model of those headphones (the PX)
with onboard BT from LMS and player running on a Pi Zero2 (and most of
my flies are flac) and I'm quite happy with the sound quality. I think
the biggest impact on sound quality it the level of noise cancelling you

The earlier models of Raspberry Pi had far less memory than your Pi4
devices (some early versions as low as 256Mb). I guess that's what he's
referring to.

I too use separate devices for LMS and players, mostly so the storage
device and server are elsewhere in the house that my main listening

I'm not clear what is required to boot a Zero2-W with the 32 bi image.
My most recent attempt to boot one headless:
1. added a [PI02] entry in config.txt in boot partition
2. added an empty file netusb to boot partition
3. edited wpa_supplicant.conf with my WiFi details

The device boots to a steady green LED but isn't able to join the
network. Presumably there is something else I need to do. (I am familiar
with setting up the original PiZero by directly editing
wpa_supplicant.conf.)

I tried both AAC and SBC - both stuttered badly. I'm listening to the

flawlessly. I will play with another pi running pCP8 later on today if I

Other than that, pCP works pretty flawlessly, and I'm very pleased with

I'm afraid I've been unable to get my Bowers & Wilkins PX Bluetooth

referred to in 'this post'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?114834-piCorePlayer-8-0-0-Bluetooth-Discussion=1028698=1#post1028698).

I've tried this on a Pi4, pCP8, inbuilt BT and on a Pi1B, pCP8, using a
BT USB stick, and both gave pretty severe stuttering. I don't know if
this is something to do with headphones.

The Pi1B - B PX setup worked fine with pCP6.1.0, so I've rolled back
to that version, it's playing well just now.

On the other hand, if you're moving to a location with a network for
which you know the SSIS and password, you can add these manually to the
wpa_supplicant.conf and connection is pretty seamless. 

I have a portable LMS server based on pCP with details of wifi networks

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

2021-07-12 Thread Grumpy Bob


I've now been able to pair but not connect the headphones. Essentially,
whenever I try to connect the headphones or to show the bluetooth log,
the BT Speaker Daemon stops.

Maybe I should say that this is a Pi1B - I was in error in an earlier
post - with the Cirrus (Wolfson) DAC card which works with pCP8.0.0. I
am using a generic BT USB stick and an Edimax USB WiFi stick. This
combination worked well under pCP6.1.0 and I have a backup of the card
somewhere that I can restore. 

Anyway, here is more of the BT log file:

I just started the BT Speaker Daemon, and tried scanning for the BT
device. Each time, the BT Speaker Daemon stops. I can see this in the

Those log entries are from three attempts. I can't successfully scan for

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

2021-07-11 Thread Grumpy Bob


I'm using a Pi model 2 (2B?) - this worked fine with my Bowers & Wilkins
PX bluetooth headphones using a BT USB stick and pCP 6.1.0
I burned a fresh SD card with pCP 8, and I've been trying to get my
headphones to connect.

I installed Bluetooth on the Pi. I have set the Pi to be discoverable.
pCP sees the headphones after a scan. The BT Controller and the BT
Pairing Daemon appear to be running fine. But the BT Speaker daemon
turns off when I try to connect the headphones - and the headphones
don't seem to connect.

Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong!

I'm using that Plugable adapter with a Pi2 running pCP6 - works very

I suppose what I'm driving at (while trying not to cause offence) is why
are you bothering with such high resolution files anyway!

I would have thought that transcoding a 32/192 file (as suggested in a
reply to one of your other identical postings) is the easiest solution.
It may well be that few if any regulars in these forums would use such a
high resolution format, and maybe that's why you're seeing few
responses. I certainly try to avoid going above 16/44.1.

If the Amplifier card has a decent output, you'll find you will need a
power supply to match. That's the case for the Pi+DAC+Amp I have in my
office at work. There's plenty of power for the Pi, both cards and a 7"

I'm using a power off shim but with different GPIO assignments:

Works fine for me, I've also wired in a separate illuminated momentary
switch on the case. This is with pCP 7.

Well I use 'ApplePiBaker'
(https://www.tweaking4all.com/hardware/raspberry-pi/applepi-baker-v2/),
there is copious information and guidance at the website.
I find it rather good to take periodic backups of my Pi SD cards, so I
do use it quite frequently.

The ApplePiBaker app has three panes: Select a disk; then panels for
Backup (you specify the filename, format and location for the backup
file) and Restore (you select the image you're restoring). As with the
Windows guidance, I'm always careful to make sure I'd performing these
actions on the SD card and not the main drive on my MacBook.

I have a MacBook with only USB-C ports, so I bought a plugin device for
burning and reading SD and microSD cards that connects through USB-C.

[SlimDevices: Unix] piCoreplayer - specify LMS build to install?

2020-11-07 Thread Grumpy Bob


I'm using piCorePlayer 6.1.0 on a variety Raspberry Pi devices. 

I'm familiar with the 'command line process for upgrading LMS versions'
(https://docs.picoreplayer.org/how-to/upgrade_lms/) - can I use this to
install a specific build version of LMS? For example could I specify
Version: 8.0.0 - 1603391272 @ Thu Oct 22 20:58:35 CEST 2020?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] PiCore Player and gpio-poweroff / gpio-shutdown overlays

2020-11-02 Thread Grumpy Bob


For starting up and shutting down my Raspberry Pi (a 3B+ running pCP
with LMS), I have set it up with one of the 'Pimoroni OnOff SHIMs'
(https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/onoff-shim). It looks as though you
can solder it directly to the GPIO pins and still fit a DAC HAT on top
(though I haven't done so). I have added a little momentary button
rather than use the tiny switch on the card itself - this lights up red
when the Pi is powered up. This seems to work well, and I've used it on
two Raspberry Pi based LMS servers, one intended to be portable, the
other for use in my office at work (if we ever return from working at
home).

I'd like to specify two or three networks in this way - what's the

I have a 1Tb WD My Passport drive (Ext4 formatted) that lights up but

[SlimDevices: Unix] Recommend a hard drive for Pi3/pCP6.1.0

2020-07-10 Thread Grumpy Bob


Recently I've been using a Raspberry Pi 3 (with pCP 6.1.0, LMS 8.0) and
a WD Passport Wireless hard disk drive as a backup server. The WD device
has a battery on board which seems to help it work via USB power, but
unfortunately it appears to have given up the ghost.

I have tried using an old WD drive that is externally powered and
connected by USB, but it doesn't show up as a USB drive on the pCP web
interface. Either it won't, or I'm doing something wrong!

I'm after recommendations for a 2Tb hard disk drive that will work with
a model 3 Raspberry Pi - either one that has a separate power supply or
one that is USB powered

I haven't got this particular card, but there are sometimes a number of
further steps to take. For example, with a Raspberry Pi2 I recently set
up with an old Wolfson (Cirrus Logic) DAC card, I had to select that as
an option, save, then click the card Control button to define the
outputs I wanted from the card. Then, in the panel below, I had to
choose the best output device entry. There were several to choose from,
as I recall I tried a few before I hit on one that seemed optimal.

Hope this helps,

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Which is the advantage to switch from Lms 7.9.2 to 7.9.3 or 8.0?

2020-04-03 Thread Grumpy Bob


Can I just add that LMS 8.0.0 / Material / Spotty integration is just a
fantastic combination, so many thanks to Michael and Craig (and all the
other plugin authors). And the pCP team.
I did notice that my router (which was new a few weeks ago) didn't have
automatic daylight saving enabled at the outset of this.

Also, in contrast to psketch, my two Squeezebox Radios and Squeezebox
Touch showed the correct time before and after any pCP or LMS restarts
after BST came in.

Anyway, all seems to be good on the alarm front.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Which is the advantage to switch from Lms 7.9.2 to 7.9.3 or 8.0?

2020-04-02 Thread Grumpy Bob


Here's an interesting update. 

I fired up another Raspberry Pi running piCorePlayer 6.0.0 and LMS
(v8.0.0, 1584722669, Fri Mar 20 18:24:17 CET 2020) perl 5.028002 -
arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int). I attached the Squeezebox Radio
to that server and set an alarm. It worked perfectly - Radio 4 started
playing at the selected time. I checked the Pi's time using date - all
correct.

Then I updated LMS (to v8.0.0, 1585823230, Thu Apr  2 12:54:47 CEST
2020) perl 5.028002 - arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int) and tried
an alarm. The alarm sounds exactly 1h after the set time.

Just for reference, the Raspberry Pi on which this issue first surfaced
was running LMS 8.0.0 - 1585662085 @ Tue Mar 31 15:55:09 CEST 2020

There is no difference if I set the alarm on the Radio.

Essentially if I run the SBR from my main server (Pi3, pCP6.0.0, LMS
8.0.0) an alarm set for 7.00am will sound at 8.00am. If I run that from
a test server (PiZero, pCP6.0.0, LMS 7.9.2) and alarm set for 7.00am
will sound at 7.00am. Both Raspberry Pi servers have the correct time
and timezone set when checked by the date command.

At the end of the day, this isn't massively inconvenient (I can set
alarms for an hour earlier than needed, plus we are working from home in
lockdown plus quarantine just now). But it is interesting.

2. Installed the patch as suggested
3. Connected the Squeezebox radio to my main server - a Raspberry Pi

4. Set the alarm. This is to play BBC Radio4 via the BBC iPlayer
plugin.

Nothing has changed: an alarm set for 5.55am sounded at 6.55am.
Both of the Raspberry Pis have the correct time and is in British Summer
Time.
The time shown on the Squeezebox Radio screen is correct, when connected
to either Raspberry Pi/LMS.

If I connect the Squeezebox radio to the Raspberry Pi running LMS 7.9.2,
the alarm works at the specified time. 

Any ideas?

Robert

2020-04-01 Thread Grumpy Bob


The alarms set on my two SBRs no longer work since I upgraded to 8.0.
This surprises me, since I thought the alarm function was held on the
SBR itself.
Generally, alarm problems are where the SBR can't contact the playlist
and defaults to the 'disco tune'. At the moment, the alarm just doesn't
go off. In itself, this isn't too disastrous since we're in quarantine
and working from home, but it would be nice to sort it out.

Well, I have no idea what I did wrong, though I'm usually quite good at
the Linux command line! It's a good example of what can go wrong when
pottering around with a Raspberry Pi at an unreasonably early hour.

Anyhow it's all working very well.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Installing LMS 8.0.0 on pCP 6

2020-03-20 Thread Grumpy Bob


I may be being a bit dim here, but can someone point me at instructions
for installing LMS 8.0.0 on piCorePlayer 6.0.0? I've spent a bit of time
searching these forums and don't see an explanation!

I tried the instructions at the piCorePlayer site (replacing 7.9.2 with
8.0.0), but this just tells me that my current installation, which is
7.9.2, is the latest version.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite on a Pirate Audio 240x240 screen

2020-02-28 Thread Grumpy Bob


One of my intended uses of the Pirate Audio/PiZero device was as a
player for my portable server based on a 'WD Wireless Passport drive'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?105512-Portable-squeezebox-with-a-Western-Digital-quot-Passport-Wireless-quot).
I'm unclear how to update the Linaro linux distro on that device, and
consequently several issues arise, such as installing Spotty and
Material (I think related to missing IO::Socket::SSL - but maybe
hardware incompatibility).

So I installed LMS on the Pi Zero, and I'm now using the Remote Library
plugin to access the LMS library on the portable server. Seems to work
well enough for usability. Material runs nicely with the MAI plugin, the
music played scrobbles to Last.FM etc. Spotty is installed but not yet
configured.

I had checked and perl_io_socket_ssl.tcz was installed. Didn't check the

[SlimDevices: Unix] lack of IO::Socket::SSL

2020-02-15 Thread Grumpy Bob


I'm running LMS 7.9.2 on a Raspberry Pi3 (pCP 5.0.1). This evening I'm
seeing an error when using Spotty:

"Spotty requires the Perl module IO::Socket::SSL. You can NOT use Spotty
without this module. Please use your operating system's package manager
to install it." 

I can see the following in Settings > Information:

Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.2 - 1572359887 @ Tue Oct 29 16:56:53
CET 2019
Hostname: Wintermute
Server IP Address: 192.168.1.31
Server HTTP Port Number: 9000
Operating system: piCore - EN - utf8
Platform Architecture: armv8l-linux
Perl Version: 5.28.2 - arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int
Audio::Scan: 1.02
IO::Socket::SSL: Nothing
Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.58 (sqlite 3.22.0)
Total Players Recognized: 5

I'm not sure what to do to sort this out - any advice would be most
welcome! I'm presuming that "IO::Socket::SSL: Nothing" means that perl
module is missing.

As far as I can see, cmdline.txt and bootlocal.sh are fine.

If I reboot via the Main page of the PCP web interface, I see the usual
shutdown messages, finishing with "Requesting system reboot". This
screen remains once the Pi has booted, squeezelite is running and music
can be heard.

If I reboot by powering down the Pi, then powering up, squeezelite
eventually starts and music can be heard. Buttons A and B seem to work
(long press A raise volume to max, long press B mutes it). The screen
remains black.

I can see a process {jivelite.sh} /bin/sh /opt/jivelite/bin/jivelite.sh
via top.

Last message before heading off to work!

I can confirm the following:

1. The sbpd-script.sh script runs fine on the command line as user tc,
no need to run it as sudo
2. With /home/tc/sbpd-script.sh entered in the User Commands in Tweaks,
on rebooting, the Pi doesn't reach Jivelite.
3. With no user command defined in Tweaks, the Pi boots to Jivelite.
Buttons don't work, until I run /home/tc/sbpd-script.sh on the command
line, then everything is fine. All button presses work as expected.

I already use Filezilla, but haven't done so for the Pi. 

I'll play some more this evening. Thanks for all the effort on this -
frustrating that it is so close!

I can't see anything obvious written in the card, but I might have to
disassemble the device to have a look. The Y button operates as
specified in your script file.

I ran through your latest instructions twice yesterday evening, always
with the same result: if I place the sbpd-script.sh command in the User
Commands, the Pi won't boot to Jivelite. The only deviation was to
install nano, which is my preferred editor.

I need to boot without the User Command to reach Jivelite, then run sudo
/home/tc/sbpd-script.sh & in a terminal to get Jivelite to respond to
the buttons. If I run the command in a terminal as user tc, it throws an
error and the buttons remain inoperable.

I'm accessing the pi via ssh using Terminal on a Mac, logging in as user
tc. I pasted your script into the file using nano - this did need some
reformatting, so maybe there's an error I didn't note.

If I omit the command from the User Commands section and instead run
sudo /home/tc/sbpd-script.sh via the command line, then evrything works
as expected.

I expect this will turn out to be obvious!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite on a Pirate Audio 240x240 screen

2020-01-25 Thread Grumpy Bob


I have started from scratch, with a backup and reboot at each stage.
>From the point at which Jivelite is installed, I get a screen OK. 

Once I enter /home/tc/sbpd-script.sh as a user script on the Tweaks
page, the screen doesn't refresh from the last reboot - it's still
saying it's Requesting system boot".

If I delete that user command and reboot, Jivelite launches as far as
the language selection.

If I run /home/tc/sbpd-script.sh on a command line, I see:

If I run it as sudo from the command line, the buttons now operate as

If I use sudo /home/tc/sbpd-script.sh in the user command section, the
display never refreshes. If I delete the user command and reboot, after
a bit of delay, I see the splash screen and I end up at the main menu,
with non-functional buttons.

Looks to me as though the issue is the execution of sbpd-script.sh

Well, the screen is illuminated but showing black. I did wonder if it's
showing a large splash screen and all I'm seeing is a corner of it. I'm
not sure which diagnostics or logs I ought to look at.

I'm reluctant to keep going back to square one without properly
understanding what the problem is. I'd like to get it working, as it was
very nice!

Well, the Pi Zero arrived on schedule. I'm using the headphone Pirate

I followed your 'most recent instructions'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?111502-Jivelite-on-a-Pirate-Audio-240x240-screen=961608=1#post961608),
and got the screen running and responsive to buttons, but this didn't
survive a reboot - nothing vivible on the screen. I think M-H had the
same issue.

I did expand the file system.

I found that /home/tc/sbpd-script.sh wouldn't run on the command line

piCirePlayer identifies a new nightly version of LMS. The there seems to
be a problem downloading it - I snipped this off the piCorePlayer web
interface:

Seems to me that the Pi is failing to access https sites such as the
piCorePlayer repository and github. It's also refusing ssh connections.
In the meantime I've burnt a new SD card and set the server up with
that, and this works fine.

[SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer can't contact pCP repo.

2019-09-22 Thread Grumpy Bob


My LMS is running on a Raspberry Pi 3 with piCorePlayer v5.0.1
LMS is notifying me of a new LMS version, but when I attempt to download
and install it via the pCP web interface it fails to download. I also
notice that the pCP repo can't be accessed, nor can I ssh into the Pi.
This isn't massively urgent as the server is working fine just now, but
I wonder where the problem lies - with the rPi, my LAN, or with the repo
itself. Any advice as to where to look or how to sort this out?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Store files permanently on piCorePlayer

2019-06-27 Thread Grumpy Bob


I've dipped in and out of this thread over the months (!), and I wonder
if the LMS setup that I travel with might be another solution. Following
a post from several years ago, I set up LMS on a WiFi enabled Western
Digital 2Tb hard drive. This has two WiFi cards, so it sets its own
network up and can connect to an external network too. It has a battery,
so it will run for a short period off the mains. I keep a copy of my
music collection on this drive.

With this, I can run any player (or a number of players) - a tablet or
phone with appropriate software, or a Squeezebox, or a raspberry Pi
based device (I use piCorePlayer).  At work I use a model 3 Pi winerally
play through a tablet and headphones.

Very true, so I'm not to troubled. Actually, it's when browsing albums
and artists that it seems very slow. Playlists is a bit snappier.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Spotty on Rpi3 / Very slow

2018-03-07 Thread Grumpy Bob

I have Spotty running on a Raspberry Pi3 with piCorePlayer/LMS7.9.1 and
I find selecting albums, playlists, searching and so forth to be rather
too slow to be usable. The Pi has a wired connection to the router, and
download speed is generally pretty high. When playing, I don't see
buffering, the problems are in slow browsing speed.

I have just worked through the instructions and have my Bowers & Wilkins

turning off when removed from my head, which doesn't play ball with
squeezelite - at the moment I'm trying to set parameters to make this
smoother.

I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones - would they function as if they
were Bluetooth speakers for this experimental Bluetooth set-up? The
set-up process doesn't look too daunting to me, and I'm keen to give it

I'm not quite clear about the problem you have. Are you running both
Squeezelite and LMS on the Pi?

Where are your music files located?  Are you playing local music files
or streaming?

Incidentally I tried Volumio and Rune Audio, but returned to
piCorePlayer/LMS as it works better for me - so the opposite journey to
yours!

[SlimDevices: Unix] Picore: chosing the lms server

2017-10-02 Thread Grumpy Bob

Not quite sure what you're asking - but you can set the IP address of
your LMS in piCorePlayer in the "Squeezelite Settings" tab. You need to
select the Normal or Advanced view.

I'm using a Pi3 as an LMS server, with files on a NAS (both NAS and Pi
wired to router). I use both Spotify (needs premium account) and BBC
iPlayer work well. In fact the whole setup is superior to when I ran it
on the NAS itself.

Haha, of course you are right, but I posted from work, not home!
I think it says 3400mA across all three outputs, 2400mA max through one
output. But my ageing eyes are having a bit of trouble reading shiny
letters on a matt plastic!
I think 2400mA is the same as an iPad charger (12W).

I am using a Pi2 with the official touchscreen. I had some problems
initially with power supplies. I found a 'three output USB power supply
from Ikea'
(http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/lighting/light-bulbs-accessories/koppla-3-port-usb-charger-art-20291890/)
which delivers enough juice, though I can't remember how much current it
can deliver. iPad chargers are also good. I also found that the microUSB
cable itself can make a difference. 'This one'
(https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B014UP9ICQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8=1)
works very well, while thinner cables did not.

I think you need to say which radio station(s) are affected, and how
you're accessing them through LMS. There's a very active set of threads
on the 3rd Party Software forum about BBC streams, for example. I
occasionally get BBC streams dropping, but I suspect the BBC's stream is
the problem rather than my LMS.

You may find some clues in the LMS log files.

Haven't seen those posts about DSTM and Spotify that DjanGo quotes in

On Friday evening, I replaced a Pi 1B with a Pi 3, running
piCorePlayer/LMS (files on the QNAP). I find DSTM with Spotify
recommendations works extremely well, at least on the limited testing
I've done since then. I had to update LMS to the latest version first,
though. The reason I stopped using LMS on the QNAP was mostly issues
with Spotify not working. Much better on both models of Raspberry Pi.

I'm using a Pi model B running picoreplayer 2.05. I use BBC iPlayer (the
DASH plugin), Spotify, and local files, which are held on my NAS and
accessed via ethernet. Seems pretty good to me and provides all the
functionality I need. I don't use other streaming services regularly - I
could use Bandcamp and Soundcloud if necessary. I'm playing music to a
variety of devices, including Logitech players, Raspberry Pi players and
software players.

As to what happens when Logitech drop mysqueezebox.com, I think there
have been a number of threads elsewhere about that.  I'd probably drop
Spotify and use Volumio on a Pi for that.
