I looked up the Squeezelite syntax and it seems that your option turns "mmap", or memory mapping, off. So what is going on here? Also I'm a bit puzzled why I didn't need it a month ago, and now I do need it?

The old boot disk, created May 2020, had "ExecStart=/usr/bin/squeezelite -o plughw:CARD=Headphones,DEV=0 -n Pi_SqueezeliteService -C 5 " I did a full-upgrade, and as expected I had to change the ExecStart line as follows ExecStart=/usr/bin/squeezelite -o plughw:CARD=Headphones,DEV=0 -n Pi_SqueezeliteService -C 5 So now Pi_SqueezeliteService appears in LMS, but no sound comes out of the Pi's headphone jack. I also now get a LOT of rebuffering - every few minutes (on both radio and flac files). Despite all players being wired into the LAN.

[SlimDevices: Unix] How to stop LMS on a Pi / access Control Panel
A dumb question - how do I stop LMS on the Pi? I can't find the control panel that I'd use in Windows to do this, and I'd rather not just terminate the process. I am trying to copy an old copy /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs over and it seems prudent to stop LMS first.

I can mess around and see what works, but it would be good to get the correct device as bpa mentioned using the incorrect device can cause strange streaming issues if not careful.

Looks interesting for a proper parametric EQ although Ill have to see if my very limited unix skills are up to it as only got my Pi a few weeks ago (and love it). But as SpiderJon says, and like Man in a Van's, this seems to work outside LMS so assumes the Pi is used as the actual player rather than just a server. So ideally I'm still looking for something that works more at the server level (like Inguz for LMS on Windows) so I can supply EQ to my various SB3 and don't have to use the audio out of the Pi ...

[SlimDevices: Unix] Equaliser for LMS on Raspberry Pi
Hi - is there a (hopefully parametric) equaliser that runs on LMS on a Pi4 (running raspbian) that works with SB3 players? There is Inguz for Windows but I can't find anything for the Pi? Failing that, is there a way to get an equaliser going on the LMS/Pi if the Pi is used as a player instead of a SB3? I have searched and found a 10 band equaliser but can't see how to get it to work, or does it only work with piCorePlayer? Ideally I need more than 10 bands if possible...

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Running LMS on Raspberry Pi for newbie to the Pi
I am now trying to set the 250GB USB drive up as a NAS drive so it can be seen on the network (Windows 10, Android). Everything works except that I cannot see the USB drive in LMS->Media Folders where I just see /media/usb but not /media/usb/250GB_ext4 as expected. It is accessible from the Pi's File Manager, Windows 10 and Android, but not LMS which seems very odd! The process I went through was: To setup the NAS drive umount /dev/sda1 sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda1 sudo e2label /dev/sda1 250GB_ext4 sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install samba samba-common sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf [250GB_ext4] path = /media/pi/250GB_ext4/ writeable = yes create mask = 0775 directory mask = 0775 public=no sudo chmod 777 /media/pi/250GB_ext4 sudo smbpasswd -a pi sudo systemctl restart smbd The drive is now accessible from Windows 10, Android and the Pi. However, in LMS I can see \media\usb but not 250GB_ext4. I tried mounting the drive but it made no difference to LMS. Get ID (ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid) sudo mkdir /media/usb sudo chown -R pi:pi /media/usb sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb -o uid=pi,gid=pi sudo nano /etc/fstab UUID=c8d9ae87-87c1-4b12-8f85-52c87229b6a0 /media/usb ext4 auto,nofail,noatime,users,rw,uid=pi,gid=pi 0 0 Any ideas why everything can see the 250GB USB drive except LMS? I guess some permission is wrong somewhere. I am going up quite a learning curve with the Pi!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Running LMS on Raspberry Pi for newbie to the Pi
I used aplay to play a .wav file which I could hear through the headphone socket. I uninstalled squeezelite by running "sudo apt-get remove squeezelite". I then reinstalled it with "sudo apt-get install squeezelite". I noticed that when doing "sudo nano /etc/default//squeezelite" the original file that I had edited was still there which seems odd. I didn't reboot after uninstalling, but rebooted after reinstalling. Still doesn't work! Very odd!

In the longer run I want to get to know about the Pi and use it for other things, so I decided to "be brave" and launch myself straight into it. I was very pleased when it proved so easy to get LMS running reliably. I never actually intended to use the Pi for Squeezelite since my experience on Windows was not good (esp with sync'ing) and I ended up just hooking another SB3 onto my PC to get rid of Squeezelite. So I didn't originally intend to even use Squeezelite on the Pi ..

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Running LMS on Raspberry Pi for newbie to the Pi
Well I got the Pi4 and within a couple of hours had LMS running on Raspian and running my 4 sync'd SB3s perfectly with the Pi4 on Wifi. That includes BC iPlayer! So far it seems more reliable and effortless than on Windows which gave me 2 decades of niggles. Fingers crossed!!! Thanks to everyone getting me on this path in the first place. But I am having no luck with Squeezelite. I installed it by one method and then found another simpler method which I did, neither got Squeezelite to appear in LMS. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install squeezelite sudo apt-get install libflac-dev Then using sudo nano /etc/default/squeezelite I edited the config file to be: SL_NAME="$(hostname -s)" SL_SOUNDCARD="sysdefault:CARD=ALSA" SB_SERVER_IP="192.168.1.129" SB_EXTRA_ARGS="-a 180" I got sysdefault:CARD=ALSA by running "squeezelite -l". I want sound to come out of the headphone jack. Any ideas where I have gone wrong? I have no knowledge of raspian and therefore am stuck how to diagnose the problem.

From a quick look it seems that piCorePlayer is a very stripped down o/s focused on audio stuff. So a couple of questions: - will I be able to stream radio, esp. using BBC iPlayer (or PlayHLS), via LMS (as I do in Win10)? - will I still be able to use the Pi for all the other sorts of things that it can do.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Running LMS on Raspberry Pi for newbie to the Pi
Hi - I want to run LMS on a Raspberry Pi (rather than Win10) for a bunch of reasons. I have zero experience of the Pi and still need to buy one. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I need it to: - connect to 3 wired SB3s and a wireless SB Radio, all sync'd - play a 200GB FLAC library - stream internet radio - ideally to include BBC iPlayer (or PlayHLS) - the Raspberry Pi can be either wired or wireless (would slightly prefer wired for reliability when syncing) Questions: - which Pi version to buy? The lastest Pi 4? Or a cheaper Pi 3 B+? Or something else? - is there a beginners guide to get me going? I don't even know which operating system to use! I am used to Windows and DOS (! - remember that?) rbl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4517 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112025 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
