make sure volumes are equivalent. Even a tiny difference leads to
listeners preferring the “louder” one. 
p.s.  if he has an “audiophile” PC,  he is already lost in the zone of
audiophoolery.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer LMS installation after power outage

[garym]

On the piCorePlayer webGUI main page youll see the option for Sd
card backup. Youll select the destination for the backup. Could
be the NAS or an attached usb drive. The backup will create a IMG file.
Then you can burn this img file to a different SD card in the future if
need be. Bottom line, the backup process is not creating a new SD card,
only the img file.

Edit. Dont know if required, but I always stop LMS before making
the backup.

I suspect his rPi4 has a USB drive connected to it that holds his music
library (that's what I do).  And this rPi4 is connected to his router
and on 24/7.   if an rPi is running LMS, one should NOT simply turn off
the power to that rPi. That *could* cause corruption to the LMS
database/cache, SD card, etc.  If one is turning off the rPi running
LMS, one should do a controlled shutdown (go to piCorePlayer main page
and select the "shutdown" menu item.

On the other hand, an rPi running only squeezelite (not LMS), one can
simply turn off the power.  So he has this "squeezelite only" rPi
connected with all his audio equipment, and it sounds like he has a
master switch to turn off power to all this kit.

p.s. everyone running LMS on an rPi is using the rPi to access a music
library.  That music library could be on a USB stick or drive connected
to the rPi itself, or could be a music library on a NAS that is mapped
to the rPi.

if your new streamer will feed the same DAC, the odds of any difference

Unlikely. But more info needed. what is the rPi feeding? A DAC? How
connected?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 8.0.0

[garym]

I'm sure you have a reason for this approach that I'm simply not
thinking about, but my first thought was why not avoid all this and plug
the USB drive directly into the rPi and mount from there instead of the
router. That's what many piCorePlayer users do.

Something odd is happening in your setup. Sorry, I have no suggestions
as to what to look at.  However, as an alternative experience, I often
play 24/96 files on my Transporter and Touch players.  If playing to my
BOOM or RADIO, LMS automatically downconverts to 24/48.  I've had zero
issues playing these 24/96 files over the years.  This has been true of
LMS running on Windows, on Linux, and most recently on piCorePlayer
setup on rPi4B or rPi3B+ units.

You might try to expand file system and install LMS while still
connected to ethernet.  And afterwards setup wifi connection.

exactly. No value in having LMS running on your rPi unless you need an
instance of LMS for your local network to feed players.  Squeezelite
doesn't work any better having LMS on the same rPi.

First make sure you're rPi is reporting as connected to the internet.

"Raspberry Pi" in the top menu.  Scroll down to the bottom of that page
and you should see that the internet access items are green.  (see
picture).

Yes that’s true. However if you want your rPi with LMS to be connected
via ethernet to your router, and your rPi player to be connected
elsewhere in the house farther way via either Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Then of
course you need separate rPi Units.

click on the LMS tab in piCorePlayer and it will allow you to
automatically install LMS.  And you don’t need to partition your HDD to
attach to rPi. I didn’t.

I use an rPi attached 4TB USB drive (powered from the rPi USB socket as
well).  I have about 120,000 mostly FLAC files and it works well.  I
keep the playlists folder etc on this drive.  Not sure what you mean
about iTunes.  iTunes in not needed in this setup.  Just put your music
on a thumb drive or USB drive, and point LMS to the top directory of
your music, and do a "clear and rescan" of your music library, and it
will all show up.

I recall getting this message as well.  I then just shutdown the rPi,

Good. But to be clear, when you run Tidal master from the PC USB, you
connect the PC USB output to the converter, then from the converter, you
connect OPTICAL cable to the DAC? Asking because it is OPTICAL
connections that are sometimes limited.

no mistake. expanding to 100% is perfectly ok (that's what I do).  And
the message you are getting is correct (can't expand any larger after
100%).  And once expanded, one cannot downsize the card.   So all is as
expected and OK.

not sure if this is your issue, but some DAC's optical connections won't
work higher than 48.  Is it possible to test the DAC connection with
S/PDIF cable instead?  (or can you go straight USB from rPi4B to the
DAC?

Interesting. I recall that when I look at my modem logs, if it has some
"failure" the log entries start showing Jan 1, 1970 dates until fully
restarted and getting the correct date.

I've had machines that  somehow reverted to a date of January 1, 1901 or
something like that in the past went something about date went awry. 
It's a mystery.

I wonder if these files were copied/backed up etc. on a machine that at
that time had an incorrect date (the 1979 date)?

Where are your music library files located?  On a attached USB drive? On
a NAS, or ???From what you describe it is as if the rPi doesn't see
your file locations at the time you try to rescan.  And at a complete
re-start, it is "finding" the files again.

Haven't seen such crashes/reboots. Just looked and my rPi4B, running
piCorePlayer 7.0.1 has been up and running continuously for 81 days. 
Running LMS only, not squeezelite. Has 4TB USB drive attached with
music. USB drive gets its power from the USB port on rPi4B.

I haven't used it, but would the "KidsPlay" 3rd party LMS plugin be of
any use here in terms of simplifying controls?

when you say, "saved settings" what do you mean exactly? Did you use the
save "image" function of piCorePlayer ver 7.0.1?   If you did, you'd
burn that image file to the SD card and reboot rPi.

I suspect one doesn't have to save/copy the cache folder, but it hasn't
hurt anything in my case.  And of course this backup/restore is only
dealing with LMS, not with piCorePlayer settings.

Hmmm, odd as the default is:

note case probably matters.  These work for me.

I *think* @mherger updated the Spotty plugin to automatically cover this
situation after my initial post. I know I installed a new pCP 7.0 (64)
yesterday with LMS, and in this case I was not required to install a
helper on LMS and Spotty works fine.  :cool:

I've read that pCP 7.0 64bit version dropped native WMA ability. To play

I assume you're following these instructions:

specifically the step here.  Note that the "LMSfiles" used here can be
anything you want, but that's what you'll see once connected.

with Win32diskimager, *write* the piCoreplayer 7.0 image to the SD card.
No need to use the "verification" option in win32diskimager. I recall I
get an error like that if i try to do the verify AFTER writing the
image.  So just write, then insert the SD card in your rPi and connect
to network. In my own case, I couldn't use the "'http://pcp.local\; to
find the IP address of my rPi.

' (http://pcp.local) Instead, just use some sort of free IP scanner
software on a computer or smart phone on  your network, or login to your
router to see what's connected, etc.   Then once you find it, just go to
a web browser and enter that IP address,  e.g.:
http://192.168.1.132

and can one do this update *after* installing the piCorePlayer OS, or

just save a copy of your "prefs" folder and "cache" folder, and you'll
have everything you need.

3B+ runs LMS very well and works as a player well too.  Some people like
the 4, because the ethernet and USB paths are separate, so those that
use a USB connected DAC to the rPi4 seem to like this potential
improvement.  I have one instance of LMS running on a 3B+ and it's very
snappy and works well with about 115,000 tracks. I don't use the USB out
for a DAC (this 3B+ uses a hifiberry DAC+ hat instead to feed a preamp).

Duh! Yes of course. I wasn't thinking about just updating LMS on same
machine.  (I had my mind focused on installing LMS from scratch (but
then returning my settings), as I had just been doing yesterday after
reflashing SD cards to piCorePlayer 7.0 and then getting LMS going from
scratch.

p.s.  I did have an error message in trying to run Spotty, but it told
me exactly what to do. I had to tick the box to install the plugin for
"Spotty Helper Application for ARMv8/aarch64 architecture"  Makes since
given the new install is the all 64bit version.

I just did this today.  I copy the "cache" and "prefs" folders from
exisiting LMS setup and save on your computer somewhere.  (see LMS >
Settings > Information, lower end of page for the locations of these
folders in your system).

Then I install 8.1 from scratch.  Then STOP LMS, copy the old cache and
prefs folders to the same location on the new LMS, allowing the files to
overwrite the old files.  Then restart LMS and you should have all of
your plugins and settings.  Sometimes I may have to enter a password or
user ID again, maybe resetup SPOTTY, etc.  But very, very little.

I'd be interested in an answer to the above question.  Also, can one do
the update steps of the RPI4 bootloader and VL805 chipset firmware vis

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer Documentation

[garym]

Note a typo picked up from another thread on a problem setting up Samba.
In setting up Samba, the user followed the instructions and "cut and
paste" items to be exact.  The problem was using LMSfiles vs LMSFiles.
In the section on mounting the USB drive the user typed it as
/mnt/LMSfiles.  (note the lower case f.)  However, in the Samba Share
Path it was  entered as /mnt/LMSFiles (upper case F).  The user copied
and pasted  from the instructions on the picoreplayer website.  He said
he he read the  instructions above the Samba set-up screen and it says:

When this has completed, scroll down to  the “Setup Samba Share”
section and enter values for “Server Name”,  piCoreLMS; “Share Name”,
LMSfiles; “Share Path”, /mnt/LMSFiles; and  “Create File Mode”, 0775;
then click on “Set Samba”


He copied and pasted "/mnt/LMSFiles" from above and he did not notice
the case  difference from the USB entry.  However, the picture does show
the correct LMSfiles.   

Bottom line, it would be useful to change the reference to
"/mnt/LMSFiles" in the text to "/mnt/LMSfiles".

Probably better off having a 2nd rPi running Roipeee for your Roon

Fantastic news. Glad it worked/. Love the Netherlands (and their beer!).
During this Covid time, I miss travel more than anything, domestic or
international. Luckily, I was able to do a week long trip to Lisbon in
February and a 10 day trip to Italy last October.  Since then
.nothing I can't drive to. Here's to a better 2021.

Cheers!  But thanks go to the way smarter people that figure all this

because when it comes to computers I'm mostly just a "follow

that in mind.  ;)

On the left side of WinSCP, navigate to something like the DESKTOP of
your PC.  On the right side of WinSCP, highlight/select the folder
"cache", right click, and select DOWNLOAD.  Then highlight/select the
folder "prefs", right click and select DOWNLOAD.  This will copy both
folders to your PC.

Thanks ronnie!  I've got plenty of turkey here. I'll have a beer instead
(well later, it's morning here).

It's been a while, but I think when I copied over the new cache and
prefs folders to the rPi, WinSCP may have just asked me if I wanted to
replace.  Not sure. If not, I would have simply DELETED those folders on
the rPi first.  Of course renaming would work too (cacheOLD and
prefsOLD).  Deleting the two "uuid" lines is something that I learned
from @mherger.  I think that it doesn't matter if one is never using the
old LMS setup, or not using it in the same network.  But, say, you're
setting up two different rPis with LMS that will sometimes both run in
the same network.  Something about the uuid names being identical will
cause some confusion.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] How to copy LMS data when upgrading to 6.0?

[garym]

Here's what I do.

1. In my old version of LMS running on an rPi with PiCorePlayer I copy
(download) the old "prefs" and "cache" folders using WinSCP to my PC. 
These folders are in "/mnt/LMSfiles/slimserver/"  (note "LMSfiles" is
the name I gave the mounted USB drive to my rPi, and you may have used a
different name.  You can see the location by looking at the webGUI for
LMS  > Settings > Information tab, bottom of that page

2. Once saved on the PC, in the "prefs" folder, I located the file,
"server.prefs" and open it with windows "notepad".  Once open I search
for "uuid" without the q

first, have you followed the instructions on connecting your NAS to the
rPi via the network settings, etc. (all within the picoreplayer
instructions somewhere...I can't find at the moment, but I don't use a
NAS).  Second, once that is done, then one simply browses to and selects
the location of the music files from within LMS > Settings > Basic
Settings tab > media folders.  (this is the same as any LMS install,
regardless of operating system).

Until you install LMS, the 9000 port won't do anything.  On the main
piCorePlayer page near the bottom there should be a place to click
"beta".  Do that first. Then there should be a tab for LMS on the main
picoreplayer webpage. Click on this to get to the info on installing.

Yes, there are minor differences, but I recently followed the
instructions for all this and the minor appearance differences were not
important.  Just follow the instructions here in the "how tos":

on a webbrowser on a computer on your network to the the IP address of

get to all the piCorePlayer controls/settings (replace 192.168.1.126

My ~113,000 track library, mostly FLAC, ran just fine on a rPi3B+
running LMS with piCorePlayer. Very responsive, etc.  I've since moved
to rPi4 with 4GB, running LMS with about ~114,000 track library. But not
because it is really needed.  These rPi units are so cheap, that I saw
no reason not to get the 4GB memory. Certainly not necessary.

Aha. Thanks. I guess in my own case, I save the "slimserver"directory
with the cache and preferences to my computer, and edit out certain UUID
info, that way after a new install of LMS, I can simply replace that
directory and I'm up and running.  That's all independent of backing up
the SD card.  I used this approach on my Vortexbox (Linux) LMS installs
as well in the past.

Cache is not needed to restore LMS.  For example, if one stopped LMS,
deleted the CACHE, then restarted LMS, it would restart just find and
recreate the CACHE.  At least that's my understanding.

I put the CACHE on the drive with music files. But many people report
keeping it on the SD card with no problems with years of use

good the cable swap seemed to fix.  I was going to say that the other

probably depends. But I can report using directly connected USB drives
(powered only with the USB connection) on two rPi3B+ and on two
different rPi4B (using the USB3.0 slots). In all 4 cases I've been using
WD USB 3.0 drives, either 2TB, 3TB, or 4TB drives.

can't find the thread now, but another user had the exact same issue. I
did not see this issue (can use the USB 3.0 slot), but one difference is
that my rPi4B happens to be a ver 1.2 and his was not.  You can see the

just waiting for it to mount will never work if there's not enough time.
piCorePlayer will try to mount the USB disk and if it doesn't mount in
the default time (I think 2 seconds), it skips it and never tries again.
That's why you need to manually change the seconds waited for mounting. 
I changed my USB disk mount time to 6 seconds I recall and that solved
my problem.   I'm not at home so can't give you the exact steps. 
Somewhere in piCorePlayer tweaks I recall.

I've only used NTFS or exFat formatted drives. can you format to exFat?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Picoreplayer can't see my usb stick

[garym]

is it a rPi4B (so it has the "blue" USB 3.0 slots?).  If so, try one of
the NON USB 3.0 slots instead. I assume you've mounted the USB stick
following the instructions here for adding a USB drive:

I’m no expert, but the way I did it was to remove the SD card from rPi,
insert into PC then create image. Then return SD card to rPi.  Sorry, I
have no idea if there is a way to read the card image from network and
save. If guessing, I’d say it is not possible.

I’m not clear on your follow up question. For example, I create an image
from a working SD card for two different rPi setups. I save both these
images with unique names on my computer. Then I can burn a new SD card
anytime I want for either rPi. Are you asking for something other than
this?

Yep, same for me. With LMS 7.9.3, in Music Folder>, I get no all songs

hmmm. I've used that update path process to change to LMS 7.9.3 (by
simply replacing 7.9.2 with 7.9.3).   But I've not tried downgrading
from 8.x to 7.x.  But you're saying that running that process fails.
What do you mean by fails. You get no errors, but you're still at 8.x. 
Or it fails to run at all?  Or

hmmm, I guess I've never tried to do this (then again, I have about
113,000 tracks).  I can do this using the dynamic playlists plugin,
where I can tell it to play randomly from some or all of my library
(genres, etc.).  But for simply playing "all", I'm not sure.  Someone
will chime in with an answer. 
p.s. This is not a piCorePlayer 6.0 question. This is a question on
using LMS in general. So unless answered easily by someone, you may want
to start a different thread with the topic "How to Play all tracks in

I've used several different 2TB to 4TB WD My Passport, selfpowered (USB
