Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCoPlayer = Squeezelite on Microcore linux. .An embedded OS in RAM with Squeezelite
My experience with 1.08 has been generally positive with just one small issue. I've tested on both my DACs (PCM2704 & HiFiMeDIY Sabre). I simply changed the initial default output settings from "sysdefault:CARD=ALSA" to "sysdefault:CARD=DAC" and I've had no playback issues at all. No pops or clicks on either card. I must qualify that I only have 16/44 material. As for the Wi-FI, there may be a bug in the script, or maybe I just had a bad SD write. I ran through the setup menu with the Edimax ew-7811un and was able to scan networks & add my password, however after it told me my credentials were being sent the script just hung. I was unable to SSH into the Pi on either the ethernet port or the wlan, even after a reboot. I had to reformat the SD card to get it going again. The second try worked fine. On another unit, I tried to disconnect from the network I was connected to and again ended up with a non-responsive script. This time just a reboot cleared it up. I never had this problem in previous versions. I tried again with the troublesome Ralink RT5370 and finally achieved success! However the connection was not long lived and I've just decided that these adapters I bought for $6 are total junk and are incapable of running for longer than 5 minutes without shutting down. I recommend that no one buy the no-name Ralink adapters off ebay. A brand name adapter with the same chipset may work fine. Also thanks for fixing the volume issue- I now have full volume without having to enter "amixer set PCM 400 unmute" on each reboot. This is another step towards making Picoreplayer an actual appliance for distributed music that just works.

Initially, I thought it would be great to have each device act as an independent Airplay receiver. I had this working fairly well with a build based on Raspbian. See here: http://pi-fidelity.blogspot.ca/2013/05/pifi-mini-tutorial-part-one.html I never considered the possibility of LMS hijacking the Airplay stream and broadcasting that to each Squeezelite instance. This would actually probably work better. How would I go about adding an Airplay stream as a favorite in LMS?

I also built a patio stereo inside a waterproof sprinkler box. So far, these devices are working really well. I am having a bit of trouble with the boombox in my kitchen. It is always plugged in, so the Pi is always running because it has a separate power supply from the stereo and they don't get switched off together. After a couple days of continuous up time, and following an overnight of inactivity, when I try to send music to that Pi, it won't play and I have to unplug it to sort it out. I have no idea what the issue is but I'm waiting with my fingers crossed that the next release will be a bit more stable in that regard. The only other thing I'd like to see is support for Airplay. LMS is a terrific system but I also use Airfoil which opens up essentially limitless options for audio sources from my desktop that can be streamed to an Airplay device. hoffsta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=60824 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCoPlayer = Squeezelite on Microcore linux. .An embedded OS in RAM with Squeezelite
Steen, I did experience a slight volume increase when applying the command you recommended above, however I still find the volume to be very low on all my picoreplayers. I did a direct comparison of one Pi with a simple PCM2704 DAC, one Pi via analog output, and my iPhone, all synced to the same LMS stream. The two picoreplayers have about the same volume level that is quite low. The iPhone is considerably louder. I'm wondering how this could be, whether it's a hardware limitation of the Pi or if it's in software somewhere.

Thanks for the reply to my queries above. I made the volume adjustment you suggested above and I did notice the volume get louder. Is this change stored to the SD card or do I need to type the command every time the Pi is rebooted? Secondly, I do have option #2 set, to output to the 3.5mm analog jack. This unit is using the Edimax wireless adapter, which is the exact same hardware configuration I have setup on two other Pi.

As for my DAC, it is the HifiMeDiy Sabre USB DAC. It works out-of-the-box as the default output with with no configuration necessary! I ran it continuously for at least eight hours today using PiCore v.1.0 (ALSA 80:4) and was very pleased with the output. I then updated to 1.0.5 and started to experience fairly regular pops about every 10 to 30 seconds. After restarting LMS, the pops went away but I will keep an eye on things. I previously ran RaspyFi and experienced a lot of popping/clicking and even full-on dropouts so this is a huge improvement so far. I added my comment to your DAC database. As for the WiFi, I'm glad the Ralink drivers are now included. It shouldn't be too much more work to get it running. I found that this particular chipset was problematic even with the full-featured Raspbian build. I was unable to connect to my network with the wicd_gui that seems to work for most dongles. Eventually I got it working by manually tweaking /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.

Thank you for creating PiCorePlayer. I tried many other builds to achieve Squeezelite playback because my WLAN adapter was not supported by Tiny Core, with varying degrees of success but I never had it fully working to my liking. I recently received an Edimax adapter and got PiCorePlayer up and running in a matter of minutes! I have an issue to sort out though- I want to change the password for my user account but I get the message: "Bad Password: too weak". Well yes, it's a weak password but on this device I don't need a complicated one. I read somewhere that I can edit "/etc/pam.d/passwd" but this location doesn't exist in this build. Any idea where I can turn off the bad password checking and what text editor is included if any? Thanks! PS: 4 hours uptime so far without a single issue, kick ass! hoffsta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=60824 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
