Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] PicorePlayer for Allo network players and LMS servers
JP, I have both of these Allo DACs - https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?114490-Allo-has-a-new-streamer-Boss2 - The Boss 2 display and remote are not much use to me. I use the Raspberry Pi 7" display and Jivelite on my PiCorePlayers (except the Boss2 which is controlled by a second pCP and 7" screen). The 7" screen and pCP is a winner.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] PiCorePlayer and wifi Access Point in Bridge mode
epoch1970, I reflashed the SD card to pCP 7, 32 bit, installed in a rP1 4b and went through the updates and setup and it works as you said. Once more the 64 bit pCP 7 is not quite up to speed (my Allo Boss2 initially needed pCP 7 32 bit to work) no big deal. >From a former life in IT project management I would suggest that there is too much variation creeping in, stick with only one flavour of pCP. The Raspberry OS is only in 32bit. Very convenient to have a WAP on my bench that also plays music and can be powered off at the mains rather than having to SSH in and sudo shutdown.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] PiCorePlayer and wifi Access Point in Bridge mode
I tried a rPi 3b and was able to get that to work, sort of. My laptop could see the test network but not connect. WiFi Analyzer showed the SSID but the signal level seemed to drop after a few minutes. Had another go with the rPi 4b, still no luck. Googled Raspberry Pi wifi Access Point and found https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/access-point-bridged.md , so downloaded the latest rPi OS (not called Raspbian anymore) flashed it to a spare card and set it up on the rPi 4b. Worked first go. Now, where are the config files that are set up on piCorePlayer ? A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] PiCorePlayer and wifi Access Point in Bridge mode
Well, I can't get AP to work. New RPi 4b, new SD card with new download of pCP 7, 64 bit. After booting, 1. Patch update and reboot 2. Minor update, now 7.0.1 - pCP4b-113-HFD | piCorePlayer v7.0.1 | www v00015 | linux 5.4.83-pcpCore-v8 | piCore v12.0pCP | Squeezelite v1.9.8-1287-pCP click Beta bottom tab on Main page 3. WiFi Settings, WAP Mode, Install, then Update which brings down a new readline.tcz , installs it and reboots. Message on the screen "To setup piCorePlayer, use .. - http://10.10.10.1 That stuffs me, so, start again, reformat SD card etc and set Bridge Mode and AP IP Address of 192.168.1.1 ( my LAN is 192.168.2.1 ) and then Update AP Mode. Still doesn't work , but at least I can get in to the piCorePlayer. My understanding of Bridge Mode is that it will take the network range via the ethernet cable, so shouldn't the AP IP Address be greyed out if Bridge Mode is Yes ? Still can't get AP mode working.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] replacement for Vortexbox -suggestions
davemal, I share your concern about Vortexbox. It is such a convenient no-frills distro for LMS that I'm sticking with it but keeping an eye out for other platforms. I have updated to Fedora 27 (https://www.vortexbox.org/forum/main-forum/1415-fedora-security-updates-only-on-newer-releases/page3) and all the LMS plugins just work - MusicIP, InguzEQ, Music Artist Info etc. Plex new versions also just work on Fedora 27. I use Clonezilla to load new hardware builds as the old Vortexbox USB install doesn't recognize the new hardware. Please report your experience with Snakeoil-Os. From their web site it appears to be a cut down Ubuntu distro but no mention of LMS or MusicIP that I could see. A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

Mark, are you using the RPi internal WiFi or a dongle ? The internal WiFi is poor in the RPi2B, but for not much more than a good WiFi dongle you could get an RPi3 B+ or for $10 less, a RPi3A+ - the WiFi in these is excellent and the 5GHz throughput is supposedly faster than ethernet according to https://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com/2018/10/rpi-3b-on-air.html#more .

Wireless fired up and the IP address stayed on the RPi screen making it simple to point a browser at pCp and configure. Now to add soundcheck's tweaks and lower the power draw as the RPi internal WiFi means there is no need for a USB dongle. Thank you. A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer 4.0.0
Greg, 1. If you could include the paste URL in your post it will make it easier for us to find- not quite sure where that URL comes from, must be from Pastebin, I will look out for it next time. 2. When you first did the 3.5.0 to 4.0.0-b5 upgrade and it didn't connect, did you try multiple reboots? - yes, first by cycling power, then when I had connected an ethernet cable I selected reboot on the front page. 3. the wifi passphrase with this release of pCP. It is only generated if you use the [Wifi settings] web page - I note that while the SSID and the Password are populated on the settings page, if you only enter the Country Code then you are asked to enter the SSIS, Password and Country Code. 4. You have an interesting collection of SSIDs in your area. Are the 7 "dog" SSIDs on the same wifi router? Yes, the neighbouring houses are weekenders and rarely occupied and when my children and their friends would come to stay there was always a hassle with passwords so I added "guest" networks with their respective network name and passwords. The dd-wrt is from a sloppily configured router in our attached cottage. 5. I note that there is no "Ping LMS test" info. Is that normal for you? No, there is normally Ping LMS test info, but the server may have been off. Now, I regard this not carrying the SSID and password through a major upgrade as a minor "nice to have" that can be fixed in the fullness of time, not a showstopper.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer 4.0.0
Just entered the SSID with spaces in manually, then password and it connected, so uploaded EiFi diag page to Pastebin, so that is the 3rd Pastebin upload. The only difference that I could see was PSK Passphrase was populated when I entered the details manually. I saved the 3.5 SD card image so it is easy to restore the SD and try again.

'cause if you have, setup a "guest" wifi network without the '&' in the SSID and you can get the piCorePlayer to connect, then when the player is fixed you can delete the "guest" network. I did this to get my piCorePlayers to connect to the 5GHz instead of 2.4Ghz network as the Pi seems to connect to 2.4GHz first and ignore the 5Ghz network, so I set up a "guest" wifi network, same SSID with 5 appended, then told the Pi to connect to SSID 5.

Well that was painless. In-situ update from 3.21 to 3.22 on RPi 2 with attached 7" screen and Kali reclocker and ES9023 chinese DAC. Hooked up ethernet for upgrade, then tried with Ratlink WiPi and all connects. Worked fine, had to Update Jivelite and power cycle to get screen working.

paul- wrote: > What good does referring someone to a wifi list, when they are trying > to make something work? I don't think there is any such thing as > "proved to work" when it comes to wifi and linux. The point is that if someone really wants to make a pCPlayer wifi then there is a list of dongles that work with 3.20 basic and audio, so their options are to provide diag details and wait for a fix, obtain a dongle that is listed as working or revert to a version that worked with their dongle. Net result is it eases pressure on the pCP team. In my case, the Ratlink 5370 HiFi Berry dongles that I have had since my first pCPlayer have more than payed for themselves and If I knew which dongle works with 3.20 audio I would buy one of those. In the meantime I can run 3.20 standard or revert to 3.11 Audio as those versions run with the Ratlink 5370 dongle. A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

Try changing your channel. pCP Team, WiFi dongle issues are a recurring theme with new releases, probably because of the vast number of dongles available.

May I suggest / request that the pCP team update this for new releases with the dongles that work?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.20 Beta
I just did insitu updates to all 3 pCp players. I tried updating to the "audio" on one and while it updated, the Ratlink wifi wouldn't work, so I connected an ethernet cable and updated again - but this time to standard beta 7. Working now. One thing I have noticed on the 3.20 beta is the Harry Potter yellow lightning strike is not so frequent as on 3.11 . I run rP1 2 + with Kali reclockers, 7" touch screens and ESS9023 DACs all from a supposed 5v 3.0 amp supply that I got with the Kali. I was about to connect a second 5v supply for the touch screen only when 3.20 came out and this looks like saving a bit of fiddling with 2 power supplies for one device.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite for piCorePlayer
Ralphy, Some time ago Arie posted the Word Clock screensaver and details of how to replace the gray words with coloured ones - http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?103330-Jivelite-for-piCorePlayer=859683=1#post859683 . The "word" files are .png with a transparent surround, and the coloured clock is more interesting than the battleship gray of the original. For my own use I modified Arie's instructions such that for a new piCorePlayer build it is a simple matter of using WinSCP to copy the attached directory "userpath" to /home/tc/.jivelite, overwriting the existing "userpath" directory, and then backing up changes. When there is a new beta to test such as the current piCorePlayer 3.20 Beta it takes me longer to remember how to colour the WordClock in than it does to actually do it. Could the coloured words be included in the JiveLite package? Doing so may also brighten the day of the newer users if they try the WordClock screensaver. +---+ |Filename: userpath.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22479| +---+ A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

Greg, I also tried from the How To - Second method for setting up a Raspberry A+ Burn the piCorePlayer image on your SD-card Keep you SD-card in your computer, open it via filemanager. Download the newconfig.cfg file from HERE Edit the first section of newconfig.cfg file so it fits your wireless lan: # # Edit the variables below to setup a wifi based system without LAN access # Change Wifi to "on". Valid options for Encryption are "WEP", "WPA" or "OPEN" WIFI="off" SSID="wireless" PASSWORD="password" ENCRYPTION="WPA" # End Wifi setup ## Save the newconfig.cfg file to the SD-card. Use your SD-card for booting up the raspberry, then it will load your settings from the newconfig.cfg file and automatically connect to your wifi.

Yes, that looks like it would work. A Kindle doesn't have icons, rather they define areas of the screen that when touched will initiate an event such as Home, Back or Forward. Did you remove the background reducing the touchable area to the arrow? Or did you make the background transparent so that the icon area is touchable? Following the Kindle example, a fully transparent or invisible icon could be in the Top Left Corner to initiate the Back event and a large transparent icon, or 4 or 9 transparent 100x100 icons making a square, could be placed in the centre of the image making a touchable area that emulates the touch event on the artwork? Now, testing. I can use Putty and follow Ralphy's instructions to load something and I can use WinSCP to replace a file or two in the bowels of a piCorePlayer but I wouldn't have a clue how to apply a patch.

You don't really need either the "<<" or ">>" as the little blue spot on the bar showing the position of the time to play / played is sticky allowing a swipe to skip either forward or backward. Excellent idea Michael, uses the screen area to advantage. It would be over the top to suggest that a swipe on the cover would bring up the back.jpg and any other local artwork, wouldn't it?

The team has already put the tools in place with the addition of Samba. An 8G USB stick on the pi being shared via Samba would enable the update image to be stored, then the current configuration could be stored via the existing command, then as Murphyprecht suggests, an update script would format the SD card, copy the image over and even if only the WiFi settings were restored the rest of the settings could be made via the web pages after a reboot. And I kept saying to myself 'Why add Samba, it is only a player'. Brilliant idea Murphyprecht, would save all the disconnecting from the HiFi system, removing the power supply, fiddling with network cables etc. First world problems I'll happily admit, but an 8Gb USB stick is only a few bucks and it could save a lot of fiddling.

The pCp is running on a RPi 2.01, with a Kali re-clocker, Allo Piano 1 DAC (the one with the headphone amp as well as analog) and the rPi 7" Touch screen. Is there somewhere in the pCp web page where you detail the pCp hardware ? It might be handy if the About tab included a list of hardware detected - such as RPi model, wireless dongle type, DAC if it can be detected, screen and any other add ons such as the Kali.

I got 2 of these ifi iPower 5v/2.5A, they are obviously aimed at the a'phool types as there is gold writing on the sticker. The first powers an RPi 2B complete with a 7" Touch screen, KALI reclocker and MamboBerry DAC and works fine. The second one is connected to a similar config however the dac is an Allo Piano, the cheaper one with the headphone amp. Now this one displays the little multicoloured square in the top right hand corner of the screen that indicates low voltage or not enough current. Swapping to an Allo Power Supply (https://www.allo.com/sparky/power-supply.html#features) disappears the little multicoloured square. Buggered if I can hear any difference.

Slackhead, first thing I would do is make sure that the ribbon cables from the screen to the RPi are attached properly, especially the one that loops over the micro sd card as it gets disturbed when you change the card, unless, of course, you have tiny fingers and three hands and are therefore tridextrous.
