Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCoPlayer = Squeezelite on Microcore linux. .An embedded OS in RAM with Squeezelite

Digi is working, I added the require modprobes to the bootscript,
modified the alsa params to enable 32bit 96000khz, and bingo it's
working

He's probably forgetting to wrap the name in quotes or some such, you
can use vi to edit the configuration file.

Can you make sure the extension for extending the second partition is
included, I wanted to add support for my piglow, so had to mess around a
lot to expand it, if e2fsprogs had already been included life would have
been much easier.

Maybe an option in the menu system ? 

cheers!

Once I correct the bug, it worked fine, my DAC requires it for
upsampling SACD flacs, I've been using a custom build of squeezelite I
built a few months back (until I upgraded), and your version appears to
work fine.

No idea about bash, I'd have to have a look, you could always rewrite it
in ncurses which might be nicer to use.

But a web interface will be handy, make sure you stick in support for
viewing/enabling debugging info from squeezelite/dmesg/syslog etc. as
that'd be very helpful for people with issues.

Seems to be a bug with the upsampling option, you've not include the
$UPSAMPLE var in the init.d script.

Also when chaning options, it doesn't reflect the new values in the UI,
until you leave and reenter the menu.

PS. Cheers for all the hard work..!

2013-08-17 Thread al3ph

I downloaded the source from the squeezelite git repo and the latest
version on libsoxr, built them on my picoplayer, created a simple tcz
for the libs and copied my build of squeezelite over the top of the
default, had to change -a 10::24_3:1 and -x U, then tested with some
24bit 88khz FLACs, works great, though the CPU load is quite high,
though I think thats to be expected.

Had to disable openMP support in libsoxr, which might be why the load is
high, anyway it works, so it's just a mater of waiting for squeezelite
to release a new version and someone to build a proper extension for
libsoxr

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCoPlayer = Squeezelite on Microcore linux. .An embedded OS in RAM with Squeezelite

2013-08-13 Thread al3ph

Been playing with picoplayer and the Aune (RaspPi), managed to get it
working with normal mp3's but hit problems when playing 24bit 88Khz
FLAC's, looks like squeezelite needs to upsample to 96KHz for this to
work as the DAC doesn't support 88KHz.

Can we get a release of picoplayer with the version of Squeezelite from
the git repo, it supports a new flag "-u X" which apparently does the
upsampling for you.

I'm guessing picoplayer will also need libsoxr etc. for the resampling,
assuming it's not already on there.

currently I find

-a 16::24_3:1 -r 96000 

Works correctly, the default of 20 causes glitching.

Cheers!
