This isn't going to be that helpful, but i had that problem in the past
and there is a solution, but I can't remember what the solution was!
(age, sorry...)

It may have been that I was using an older Pi, and it couldn't keep
up...

The good news is that you are not imagining it, and there was a
solution.

2020-06-03 Thread jemhayward


Ah, yes, maybe I should explain...  

The PSU was a 12v SLA battery system, and I'd charged it up before
starting.  In the past it would run the system for a good 10hrs before
the voltage dropped.  However, I'd not used the system for maybe two
years and SLA batteries don't like deep discharge, so it's capacity was
much reduced.  It just didn't dawn on me that the battery would be that
rubbish by now...

At the moment the "Garden' system is in the cellar, so I have mains, so
I don't need to use the battery, and the next job is trying to resurrect
the SLA so that we can run the system in the garden, though one of my
lockdown projects has been to sort out the garden electrics, so maybe I
don't need the battery system anymore...

I've been updating all my Pi based Squeezeboxes to PCP6 and all has gone
well.  The final one is my "garden" speakers which is a RPi B+ with a
HiFiBerry AMP+ and when I fired it up, it was working fine, but I
decided to update anyway...

Couldn't do an in-situ upgrade due to lack of room, so I reflashed the
card with PCP6 and started from scratch.  All has gone well, and it's
working fine except for one fundamental issue - no sound is coming out
of the speakers.  I've selected the AMP+ as output device and everything
looks ok, but it's as quiet as a mouse (quieter in fact) - I've
obviously got one fundamental setting wrong - but what?

2019-09-09 Thread jemhayward


I have a RPi 2 running PiCore Player 3.5.0 that is my travel music
system.  I attach a SSD, run squeezelite and LMS on it and plus on some
headphones or a speaker and it worked fine.  I set up wireless access
point so I can control it from my phone.

It worked fine a year ago.  Now, the AP fires up on boot, and is visible
with an IP address of 10.10.10.1 and it allocates my phone 10.10.10.75,
so that is working.  BUT neither the LMS, or the PiCoreplayer interface
pages appear on any IP address my phone can access.  If I pull out my
wifi dongle and reboot on a network cable, it grabs an IP address from
my DHCP and all works fine.

I've obviously not set something up, or I've switched something off but
nothing I can find.  I've not set the IP address as fixed (which is what
I thought I'd done) - so any ideas?

I started with FAT but when that didn't work, I went to NTFS, and got it
to work on the 8GB stick, but not on the 64GB, which I also formatted to
NTFS.

I've removed a USB backup disk from my server, and have plugged the

on principle, I'd like to get the samba stuff working, so I can update
the stick later...

2018-04-21 Thread jemhayward

Just realised I posted this in the old thread, so here I go again:

I've just build a PiCorePlayer on an old RPi 2 to use as a music player
while we are on holiday.  I am going to use a 64GB usb stick as my music
repository, and run PcP in access point mode and control it from my
phone.

All my music is on the server at home, but there isn't a free USB socket
on the server, and it's not easily accessible anyway, so I thought I'd
just set up Samba on the PcP and connect my Win2008(Home Server) to the
share and push the albums I want onto the stick.

But I cannot get the windows machine to authorise on the share though
the share is visible.  I'm sure I've done this before, and it should be
simple, surely?  I'm obviously doing something stupid, but what?

The windows machine says network path not found, and / or bad username
or password.

Ah, this makes sense - when my kitchen system (SBT) and lounge system
(RPi2) are synchronised, there is a perceptible delay if you stand where
you can hear both at the same volume.  I couldn't tell which one was
ahead or behind, but they are not exactly in sync.

I think my solution may be to use my collection of real SBTs in the
areas I want to be synchronised and use my RPi where sync is less
critical/likely.

I get the problem on 16/44 and all my devices should be capable of 24/96

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: Squeezelite - a small headless squeezeplay emulator for linux (alsa only)

2017-01-20 Thread jemhayward

I've moved from LMS on Windows and SBTs to LMS via PiCorePlayer on a
RPi3 and PcP as client on a RPi2, though the rest of the house is still
using SBTs.  My RPi2 is connected to an Audiolab MDAC, and two of the
three SBTs have external DACs.  The RPi3 that hosts LMS also runs
Squeezelite for music in the bathroom.

If I sync my RPi3/MDAC with any other player I get random clicks and
pops, quite subtle, and quite random.  It seems to be worse when the
Squeezelite on the RPi3 is in the synch group, but the random nature of
the problem makes this difficult to judge.  It may also be more
prevalent when playing higher bit rate/depth material, but again, I'm
unsure.

Guidance I have received on this via the PcP announce thread suggests it
may be linked with the speed of transmission of the music through the
various clients causing the need to "catch up".

Am I on the right track, and is there a setting I should be looking at,
or something I can do?

UPDATE:
If there is no synchronisation, there are no pops and clicks.  As soon
as a synchronise with the squeezelite client on the LMS Pi3, or with
Squeezeplay on my MacBook, the pops start again.  I've now tried
synchronisation with all my Squeezebox devices, and the pops occur with
all of them.  This is playing a local 24/96 flac - where do I find the
logs for squeezelite, and any ideas how to fix (apart from not using
synchronisation!)?

Originally we thought it was only a problem when the squeezelite on the
LMS server RPi3 was running as well, but it does happen at other times,
but is definitely worse when the second PcP based squeezelite is running
and synchronised.  We have 3 Squeezebox touch, and two RPi on the

The music is stored on HDD attached by USB direct to the RPi3 - we also
get the pops when streaming Tidal - we originally thought that was the
issue, but its also on local files too.

It's a standard 3.10 install, and then the LMS install from the
PiCorePlayer interface.  The problem was also present on the previous

Yes, it's present when using the DAC, and its present with analogue, and
present when using a real Squeezebox Touch as well.  I think it may go
away when nothing is synchronised, but I only tried that for a short
time last night, and the pops/clicks are quite random, and hidden by
some music.

Done that - it's not DAC specific.

Audiolab MDAC though the effect is also apparent when using a SBT as

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.10

2017-01-17 Thread jemhayward

I'm running PiCorePlayer on a RPi 3 as my LMS, and my client is a RPi 2,
both running 3.10.  I get popping noises when playing music either from
local files or via Tidal, and it may be worse on hires (24/96) - but I
only have a few and the popping is so random as to make judgement quite
difficult.  Sounds like noise on LPs!!!  It IS worse if I run a client
squeezelite on the same Pi as the LMS, but since the upgrade to 3.10 it
seems to be happening more...  no wireless involved, its all on cat5 and
I don't think its due to external electrical interference either... 
wasn't present when I ran my LMS on a windows box.  Any ideas?

Just put 3.10 on my client Pi and its running squeezelite perfectly.

So, I decided to install it on my LMS server Pi, and its on, but when I
try to download and install LMS it just times out.  Is this an issue
with my installation or is there a problem with the LMS downloading
generally?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.00

2016-12-30 Thread jemhayward

I'm running PiCorePlayer as my LMS and have a 1.5TB HDD attached via
USB, and its working well.  However, my CD ripping system is on a
windows machine, so I need to get my FLAC files from the windows machine
to the PiCorePlayer RPi - and its not visible on the network, so I
assume SAMBA isn't running, or installed.

I don't know where to start - I can use putty, if someone can give me a
blow-by-blow account of how to do this, assuming its possible.  I should
have enough space on my SD card as its a 32GB card.

I've seen some SAMBA files in the repository via the web interface, do I
just install those and re-boot?  I don't want to break things as all the
family are about at the moment and are using the system, so I'll be
really unpopular if I cut off everyone's music!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.00

2016-11-30 Thread jemhayward

I have one RPi running LMS and also Squeezelite and another RPi running
picoreplayer as just a squeezelite client.

It seems to work ok on local music (though we don't listen to much of
it...) our use is mainly Radio 4 and Tidal.

Radio 4 is very glitchy at certain peak times, but we get the occasional
"pop" almost all the time, which I think is re-buffering, and we get
this on Tidal too.  Very random, and almost imperceptible at times. 
It's driving my wife nuts.  We have a reasonable internet connection
(15MB) and when we used a windows PC for server and a SBT as client, we
didn't get glitches to the same degree.

So, I think we may need to tweak something - but what?

I'm running PiCorePlayer on a RPi2 as a squeezebox client, and on a RPi3

is this an issue with the client, or the server, and how do I fix it?

I'll hand onto my wandboard just in case someone decides to port

Ah, I might explore that though my switch off at present is via a

Ah!  I think I can modify this to do what I want.  If I use a relay held
open by the offboard PSU 5v and a 6V rechargeable battery pack (need to
isolate the relay from the battery pack somehow...) then when the
external PSU goes down, the relay closes, and that initiates shutdown,
and then the 6V battery powers the board until its completely shut down.
I then need a way to disconnect the battery, or it will go flat - or I
could possibly use a big capacitor?

I know this is "bad practice" but has anyone had any specific issues
with simply pulling the power plug to put their Wandboard/CSOS to bed? 
I *think* this naughtiness is causing my SD card corruption issue.
If it absolutely must be powered down in an orderly fashion, I was
thinking about some form of UPS type system where the board is kept
alive for a short time by a battery, and it detects the loss of mains
power, and runs some form of shutdown script.  I don't know enough about
the hardware or Linux to know if this is even possible.
I suspect most people leave it powered up 24/7 but we get quite a few
powercuts, so some form of failsafe would be useful.

Is this just telling me the MDAC isn't connected to it (which is
true...)?

I have two Kids Kingston SD cards, and I'm now reflashing them
alternately. I've now taken the wandboard out of my music system and
I've connected it to a known working good 5v PSU.  I'll leave it on the
network over the weekend to see if it is stable.  I think the problem
comes from the battery PSU which powers down the SBT which seems to
tolerate this, whereas the wandboard / csos doesn't like this!

Its happened again.  I've reflashed onto a new SD card, but this didn't
appear to fix it this time.  
I'm running off a battery supply that the SBT was happy with, but could
the wandboard be unhappy with a very slightly low voltage?  I will try
again tomorrow with a mains supply to see if this is more reliable.

Sort of fixed it by flashing my SD card again.  Now working fine again,

Switched on my system this morning, and the Wandboard lit up as usual,
but it failed to appear in LMS, and nothing is on the network on the
address it last used on my DHCP.  I've used arp -a and I don't think its
appearing there...  Is the MAC address the numbers on the sticker on the
ethernet port?
The lights on the ethernet socket are flashing away, but I simply cannot
find it.

In what ways could it be broken?

Fixed! Even more embarrassing - the problem was that the Joggler in the
bathroom was synched with the Wandboard (its normally synched with the
bedroom) and I thought it was off, but it wasn't!

Anyway, MDAC bit perfect tests now passed, and I'm getting 96kHz once
again (not really sure it sounds any better, but it feels better!)

Apologies to everyone!  I've now reconnected my SBT with EDO and its
also playing at 44.1 so I definitely have a problem with LMS and
Community Squeeze OS isn't the problem.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Community Squeeze OS F19 Release 1

2014-04-01 Thread jemhayward

I don't seem to have an advanced part in the squeezelite settings, and
setting log level to debug just upset the interface and prevented
restart. Setting Max sample rate to 9600 resulted in 16bit 48khz
according to my MDAC.  Not sure what to make of that!  I'll get my
laptop out and look at the logging tomorrow.

Had a look at LMS and it all looks OK. Not really sure what determines
the sample rate that LMS sends to the client.
Can anyone think of anything else I could try?

Rebooted... Still 44.1 8-( I'll check my lms settings and reconnect my
SBT tomorrow and make sure it IS the wandboard.  SQ wise, it's great,
which rather proves that high sample rates aren't vital!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Community Squeeze OS F19 Release 1

2014-04-01 Thread jemhayward

I have now got my Wandboard and have installed CommunitySqueeze and once
I'd deleted the ALSA parameters, it plays though my Audiolab MDAC via a
hub, and sounds great, BUT although it will play 24/96 files, it seems
to be coming out as 24bit 44.1kHz.

I'm not sure where I set the max sample rate.  Can anyone advise?

Apologies if I'm asking a really obvious FAQ, but from where can I
download the most up to date version of CSOS?  The links on
http://www.communitysqueeze.org/index.jsp home page just give me a 403,
and I can't download anything.  I've got my wandboard on the bench, my
SD card in my laptop, and I'm keen to get going!
