Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Track Info etc. on OLED for PCP
Hi Gary Glad you got it working :-) FYI, I posted a very slightly updated version of the files a couple of days ago. Basically just moved a couple of things a little, but the main thing was to allow you to specify the fonts you want to use for the display - have a look in the oled cfg file. You can just put anything .ttf you like in the fonts folder and modify the cfg file to choose what font you want. If you pull down the updated files, or add a font, don't forget to do a pcp bu afterwards or you'll loose things after a reboot. pete S psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116489 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Rpi4 + PCP 8 vs Audiophile Streamer
If you want to really maximise the potential of PCP on Pi, there's a really detailed blog - I mean REALLY detailed - at https://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com/p/soundchecks-tass-intro.html with some really useful tweaks to make. YMMV of course and it's always the law of diminishing returns, but an interesting read if nothing else. Some of these, like CPU isolation, are a must for sure. psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117271 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Track Info etc. on OLED for PCP
Oh, and one more thought Does your LMS have a username/password specified? Or, do you have to do something specific to open ports on the NAS perhaps? The script uses port 9090 for telnet and port 9000 for json, so they'll both need to be open. psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116489 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

So, if you don't enter the IP address on the command line, it's giving you that error message? Is the IP address correct for your LMS - i.e. is discovery working ok. Is there anything funny with your LMS setup? First, can you take a look at pcp_boot.log - in the PCP UI, go to Main Page, Diagnostics, Logs, Boot. Anything interesting in there? Try posting that here. If there's othing interesting, let's turn on debug and capture the log. If you boot the pcp without starting the script (remove it from the startup commands), or if you're OK with it, kill the process (ps -a, then sudo kill ) you can then run the process from the cmd line python3 /home/tc/oled4pcp_4.py OLED=SSD1322 LOGFILE=DEBUG it'll write the logs to /var/log/oled4pcp.log.

The main change was to auto-detect the LMS IP address by broadcasting the discovery packet, which is quite nice. It'll also happily retry until it finds the server - for example if you're rebooting the server after updating a plugin etc.. On the volume front, I just have mine set to 100% in LMS and then the code just doesn't display the volume - I also don't use the volume here. My own IR file is also more limited, but I thought I'd post something with all the same options as the original for people. psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114706 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

So, it's just a stock image with the changes to make it work with the EvoSabre. I've also updated the script so that it'll discover the LMS server so you don't have to change the user commands.

I think it's very device specific. I have an old Western Dig 2TB USB drive, and hdparm won't spin it down. I know hd-idle on raspbian would spin it down OK from previous experience, but I tried a chunk of messing around to get it to spin down on pcp with no luck (but didn't find the hd-idle thread, else I'd have tried that). It wasn't a problem for me as I had a "general" use pi as well running dietpi and just moved the drive to that one instead, but given that we have hdparm available as an extension, it would likely be appreciated to have hd-idle available as well. psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114879 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

I've been continuing to fiddle around with this, and have it pretty much finished now. I've updated the script quite a bit to make it more native to LMS (e.g. reading the track info from LMS vs. from ALSA as it was before), reading all the info from LMS in one go rather than loads of separate calls, pick up if volume is 100% and if so, don't show it, made some of the other calls more native etc. I'd like to thank @Steve Agnew for his help testing things and tidying up the readme I created.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Linux noob
I have a similar set of requirements, and were managing them all fine using PCP with LMS running on that, using SAMBA for file sharing of USB disks attached to the Pi. The only problem I ran into was that I couldn't get my disk to spin down when not in use (old WD drive with lots of known funniness in that area). So, I moved my drives to a second pi which I use more as a NAS, run piHole, syslog etc.. That one runs dietPi, which is debian based. I'm like you - tech windows skillset with a little bit of linux thrown in. I found dietPi to be a nice balance of usability and functionality. You could of course run the whole lot on dietPi - it has packages for LMS and squeezelite available to install, but then you lose the whole lovely PCP UI and configuration. For me, that's worth running a separate Pi for - I've got 7 others running PCP just as players. The dietpi device acts as a central point for everything else - piHole was a must for me and had a maintained dietPi package. psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114879 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

So insitu worked fine for me, but I had to force a "reinstall" of HDMI by deselecting and reselecting it. psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114828 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

One of my players uses HDMI, and I'm not getting any audio - video is fine. I see the various force edid etc. are in the config file, so not sure what to try.

[SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 7 on Audiophonics EVO-SABRE Balanced DAC 2xES9038Q2M
I've been looking for a more upto date replacement for my Transformer, and settled on 'Evo-Sabre DAC' (https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/network-audio-players-raspdac/audiophonics-evo-sabre-pack-diy-balanced-dac-2xes9038q2m-streamer-for-raspberry-pi-4-p-14639.html) from Audiophonics. It's a really nice device, and with a second OLED for displaying track etc. information. Audiophonics provide a dietPi image with a custom Python script for this second screen and lirc settings for the remote. However, I run PCP everywhere else, so wanted to get PCP running. It took a little work and involved Building a custom tcz for all of the Python 3 modules Updating the scripts to Python 3 Updating the lirc settings to use the native Squeezelite lirc support (vs an old expect script) Update the script to pick up the MAC address automatically, and take the LMS IP as a parameter The steps (ignoring the backups and reboots) are something like Install standard extensions freetype.tcz python3.8.tcz iproute2.tcz Install custom extension evosabre-py38-deps.tcz Copy the custom .py and fonts sub directory to /home/tc Configure squeezelite in pcp Set Card to Audiophonics ISabre Q2M Disable onboard audio Set ALSA Volume Control to Digital User Command to python3 /home/tc/lms_oled_3.12_py3.py LMSIPAddress gpio-shutdown : Yes, GPIO-17, Active Low, Pull Up Install LIRC GPIO : 4 Upload custom lircd.conf and .lircrc If anyone's interested, let me know and I'll post all the files. By default, the Audiophonics setup uses a full Simplified Chinese font for album titles - i.e. it's a font with all languages in there, including simplified chinese - so it's large and take a while to load when you start the script. I can understand why they did this - some people will obviously want track titles in chinese, but I created a everything except chinese version, which is about 1% of the size, so unless you want the large one, I'll likely post the short one. pete S psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114706 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

I've imported extensions python3.8, python-pip, python-setuptools, python-pillow and python-gpio already. Then I can pip import pylms ok, but luma.core fails - I didn't actually try luma.oled.

Happy to try anything As I said, I can build it anyway, but the extension route will be much easier for others, and I'm trying to persuade Audiophonics to provide a pcp standard image instead of the very fat dietpi image they push out at the moment.

Hi Paul & pcpteam I'm trying get pcp working on the Audiophonics https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/network-audio-players-raspdac/audiophonics-evo-sabre-pack-diy-balanced-dac-2xes9038q2m-streamer-for-raspberry-pi-4-p-14639.html. I've now got it all running, but the second screen uses luma.core and luma.oled with a python script. To get this working, I had to build my own python as the luma.core and luma.oled modules are available as tcz's. If I install the various python modules that are available (python38, python-pip, python-setuptools, python-rpi) and compiletc and then try and import the modules using pip install oled.core, it fails to build one of the dependencies - spidev. The python script also uses pylms, but I can import that OK with PIP, although a tcz for that would be nice :-) I'm going to post a thread on how to get this dac running pcp - i've replaced my Transporter with it, and it's a really nice device. But I wanted to see if we could make it easier for people so they don't have to run through the rather long process of building their own python.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 7.0.0
I was trying to enable lirc (without jivelite) on one of my players (7.0.01) today and came across something strange. When I upload the the lircd.conf and .lircrc file, the upload process is doing some parsing, and it actually incorrectly formats the .lircrc file making it unusable. The format of the file is begin ... end begin ... end one for each button. However, for some reason, the upload process is parsing the file (i guess to take out any characters lirc won't like as it seems to be really fussy) and during the upload process it removes all of the "end" statements. So, the file just has multiple "begin" blocks, but no "end"s to those blocks. squeezelite (and irexec) won't reach this .lircrc - you get an error in pcp_squeezelite.log that squeezelite can't read the file. If I just manually upload the original file via ssh, then it works fine. psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113512 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

If you want to combine mono with the use of the equalizer, then you can
make your asound.conf look something like this - asjust the soundcard as
required
Code:
# default - Generated by piCorePlayer
pcm.!default {
type plug
#slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
slave.pcm "sound_device";
}
pcm.pcpinput {
type hw
card ALSA
device 0
}
#---ALSA EQ Below
pcm.sound_device {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type hw
card sndrpihifiberry;
device 0
}
}
ctl.equal {
type equal;
controls "/home/tc/.alsaequal.bin"
library "/usr/local/lib/ladspa/caps.so"
}
pcm.plugequal {
type equal;
slave.pcm "sound_device";
controls "/home/tc/.alsaequal.bin"
library "/usr/local/lib/ladspa/caps.so"
}
pcm.equal {
type plug;
slave.pcm plugequal;
ttable {
0.0 0.5 # L(0) to L(0) at 0.5 volume
1.0 0.5 # R(1) to L(0) at 0.5 volume
0.1 0.5 # L(0) to R(1) at 0.5 Volume
1.1 0.5 # R(1) to R(1) at 0.5 Volume
}
}
Or, nowadays, there's actually a much easier route - if you use LMS 8.2,
and update to the latest squeezelite, you can mono under Output Channel
Mode in Player Settings.

Hmm - I'll do some more digging. So, this is without the equaliser and with a default asound.conf (taken from another player that I hadn't messed with it on). Player's aren't synced, and this one never has been synced to anything- it's in a bathroom, so no real need ;-) "Left only" works - as that the channel I have the speaker connected to. If I flick to "Both Channels", I get left channel sound only (that being the speaker I have connected). If I flick to mono, I get nothing. I'm running Logitech Media Server Version: 8.2.0 - 1613989247 @ Mon Feb 22 11:46:34 CET 2021 piCorePlayer v7.0.1 | www v00015 | linux 5.4.83-pcpCore-v7 | piCore v12.0pCP | Squeezelite v1.9.9-1356-pCP I know that it's picking up the default asound.conf as my normal one does the mono work (i.e. I'd hear the right channel sound from the left speaker if it was still using that one). So, something's not working, but I have messed around with different thigns. I can try taking a default 7.x and setting it up on a fresh card - only takes a few mins - if there's no other ideas. psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113512 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Hi Ralphy I just tried the new mono mode with Squeezelite v1.9.9-1356-pCP, pcp 7.0.1 and the latest LMS 8.2 nightly, but when I select Mono in the Audio settings, I get no output at all. Setting Both or Left I get just the left channel as I'd expect. I've taken a default asound.conf and turned off equaliser at the moment, so I think it's just back to a default config.

Hi Ralphy - that's nice :-) It's been a asound.conf edit for me always, so this will make things easier to maintain. One question (since I know this requires careful tweaking of asound.conf) - can you use this setting with the equaliser? My single speakers setups are small, so need a little help from equaliser settings.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Pcp Update to LMS 8.1.2
I found that you have to do a Manual update in pcp to get it to switch over to the new version. So, looking at the stable.xml, it showed 8.1.2, but checking for updates showed no new version, although I was on the last 8.1.1 nightly. Just doing a manual update in pcp pulls 8.1.2, and I assume will now pull the 8.1.2 nighties. It seems like the "is there a new nightly" check doesn't work across versions, but just doing one manual update does the switch. psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113689 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

The original stereo DAC is very well reviewed (same one as in the volumio Primo I think), but this is the new dual mono version, so even better :-) If you can add in support for the second screen, I do feel like we may have a transporter replacement device.

I certainly used the UI controls in the past, but 1) I haven't tried them in pcp 7, and the underlying card control has changed with the latest kernel. Probably still works of course, but not sure - e.g. if you're using HDMI, which devices is device 0? 2) It's a bit trial and error as to which card and device you're specifying. Easy if you're using the built in audio if that's device 0, but less easy if you've got more cards 3) You can't use this approach with equaliser, which was actually my original use case. It's easy to modify the asound.conf anyway, and adding new devices there for me makes it easier to know for sure what I'm doing and doesn't risk messing up any built in behaviour. pete S psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113162 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Mono sound
Hi Tim
Yes, I found it all rather confusing when I first started looking at it,
but it's not too bad.
So, the default asound.conf looks like
Code:
# default - Generated by piCorePlayer
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
}
pcm.pcpinput {
type hw
card Headphones
device 0
}
#---ALSA EQ Below
pcm.sound_device {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type hw
card Headphones
device 0
}
}
ctl.equal {
type equal;
controls "/home/tc/.alsaequal.bin"
library "/usr/local/lib/ladspa/caps.so"
}
pcm.plugequal {
type equal;
slave.pcm "sound_device";
controls "/home/tc/.alsaequal.bin"
library "/usr/local/lib/ladspa/caps.so"
}
pcm.equal {
type plug;
slave.pcm plugequal;
}
The first bit
Code:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
}
creates a default device for alsa to use if no device is specified. The
UI in the Extras\asound modifies this device. BTW, that's why is says
that the entry for output on the squeezelite page must be blank - so
that default is used.
However, I think it's easier if you're going to edit asound anyway, to
create a new device specifically for mono. So, take the default
asound.conf (use the above maybe if you've messed around with it to
start from scratch), edit it and add
Code:
pcm.HifiBerryDevice {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type hw
card sndrpihifiberry;
device 0
}
}
pcm.HifiBerryMono {
type plug;
slave.pcm HifiBerryDevice;
ttable {
0.0 0.5 # L(0) to L(0) at 0.5 volume
1.0 0.5 # R(1) to L(0) at 0.5 volume
0.1 0.5 # L(0) to R(1) at 0.5 Volume
1.1 0.5 # R(1) to R(1) at 0.5 Volume
}
}
The devices in asound.conf build on top of each other. So, this creates
a device called HifiBerryDevice, which refers to the underlying hardware
you have (I have the same one). Then, on top of that, it creates a
device called HifiBerryMono, which creates the mapping table.
Add that to asound.conf, save it, then go to the main page and do a
Backup (to keep the changes) and Restart to restart Squeezelite. Then,
if you look at the Squeezelite Settings page, and click on more next to
output settings, you'll see a new device called HifiBerryMono available
to choose. Select that, save it, and you should be good to go.
If you just want volume from the right speaker, you could change the
mapping table to
Code:
0.0 0 # L(0) to L(0) at 0 volume
1.0 0 # R(1) to L(0) at 0 volume
0.1 0.5 # L(0) to R(1) at 0.5 Volume
1.1 0.5 # R(1) to R(1) at 0.5 Volume
but maybe start with dual mono to check it's working.
I'm no huge expert in this - just my findings from fiddling around.

If the drive isn't spun up, the kernel won't recognise it, so the mount fails. So, adding 10 seconds to waitusb means it spins up and mounts. Once it's mounted, it spins down when not in use, then when it's accessed to play something from the library, it quite happily spins up and plays.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Mono sound
Hi Tim I think your problem may be different to strebor's original one. He was using the 10 band equaliser on the tweaks page, which will set the output device on the squeezelite page to "equal". However, you then can't use the mono setting on the Extras/Asound page - both things want to change the asound.conf file and the UI isn't setup to do that - you have to change it manually. However, if you're not using the equaliser, you shouldn't need to manually edit the asound.conf. The changes you've made below to the conf won't do anything btw - you're telling the equaliser to play in mono, but you're not using the equaliser, so nothing's going to happen there. Your slave.pcm line looks wrong to me - you're not telling it what device to use - I would expect hw:0,0 for example. TBH, I'm not completely sure if the mono default works nowadays - this isn't really a mainstream area of pcp. What output device are you using normally - i.e. when squeezelite is running and you're just getting mono, and what do you see in the available devices listed? pete S psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113162 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 7.0.0
Hi When I created new images for my PCPs for 7, I was reminded of an HDMI problem, which is perhaps more relevant now with the different handling of HDMI in the new kernel. If you're using HDMI output, not all devices show as connected if the display or amp isn't on, or isn't switched to the correct input. In the old kernel, Squeezelite would still start, but not output video to the HDMI port. Now, with the seperation of HDMI and headphone, if you select HDMI output, but don't have that display turned on when you do it, Squeezelite won't start because the HDMI devices aren't available. To make this work reliably, you need to add Code: hdmi_force_hotplug=1 hdmi_drive=2 to config.txt. hdmi_force_hotplug=1 sets the pi to use HDMI mode even if no HDMI monitor is detected. hdmi_drive=2 sets the pi to normal HDMI mode (Sound will be sent if supported and enabled). Without this line, the pi would switch to DVI (with no audio) mode by default. I wonder if it's worth adding a "Force HDMI Output" tweak to the tweaks page to write this to config.txt pete S psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113512 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

I saw the problem yesterday playing a tidal album that was flac, played on pcp with native. When I use transporter, I do have a custom re-encode set as the older hardware can't handle flac files which are really heavily compressed, so I re-encode them to -1.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Mono sound
Hi Strebor
When you enable equal, you overwrite asound.conf. You need to edit that
manually - it's in /etc. Don't forgot to do a backup on the main page
once you've changed it.
You need to change pcm.equal section to
pcm.equal {
type plug;
slave.pcm plugequal;
ttable {
0.0 0.5 # L(0) to L(0) at 0.5 volume
1.0 0.5 # R(1) to L(0) at 0.5 volume
0.1 0.5 # L(0) to R(1) at 0.5 Volume
1.1 0.5 # R(1) to R(1) at 0.5 Volume
}
}
i.e. add the ttable section to remap the sound.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 6.0.0
I've found an odd behaviour with DST time setting. I'm running pcp 6 on pi 3b for my LMS, and have updated LMS to 8.0.0 nightly. Most of my clients are also pcp's, but I also have a Transporter and a Boom. When I reboot the pi with the LMS, all works fine. However, if I restart the LMS only through the pcp UI, the time shown on the Boom and the Transporter is out by 1 hour. I'm in the UK and we shifted to summer time last week, so it seems like it's somehow not understanding the shift to summer time. The time on the LMS is correct (as shown by a date command under SSH), and the time after a reboot of the pi LMS is fine. However, restarting or stopping and starting the LMS through the UI somehow sends a different time to the Boom and transporter. psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111787 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

It looks like the time > being served up to the boom by the LMS isn't picking up the summer time > shift perhaps OK - actually I think I've found the cause, or at least the specific actions which cause it - in line with what Bob mentioned about his power cut. If you reboot the server, the correct time is served up to the Boom & Transporter. However, if I restart just the LMS (using the UI in pcp lms page), then the time is out by an hour on the clients. So, this may not actually be an 8.0 thing at all - could be a pcp thing as I rarely use restart. On this occasion, I found that now I was adding a load of Tidal albums, I played a couple of random tracks, which stuttered terrible. Digging back through threads I found that i needed a custom-convert.conf to run them through sox, which fixed the problem but meant I was restarting the LMS as I tested it. The stutter wasn't specific to the new LMS 8 approach for tidal btw - I just came across it when trying to play a few tracks - Dear Prudence by Siouxsie and the Banshees was particularly terrible.

I updated 6 players, one with LMS. 3 updated OK, got the reboot now message and all fine. 3, including the LMS one, got through the update, but just at at the OK message and didn't give the "reboot now" message. When I rebooted them, the LMS one didn't work at all, and the other two seemed part upgraded, so I just reinstalled the three of them from scratch. Sadly, I'm not sure how much use this is as they were different devices that worked and didn't, i had one 3B that worked and one that didn't for example.
