I'm using an MCE remote, but using the lircd remote setup. Don't know if anyone has setup for the USB receiver. There's something called FLIRC which is USB dongle which also works - you program to turn remote codes into virtual keyboard keypresses which work in jivelite.

Looking at the Waveshare site, it looks like there are two different 4 inch screens - the 4inch RPi LCD which is 320x480 pixels and connects via SPI, and the 4inch HDMI LCD, which is 800x480 pixels and connects via HDMI. I have a screen very similar to the second one (but without the touch screen), and it works well since (1) it connects via HDMI and (2) it's the same resolution as the official rPi 7 inch display, so the JiveLite skins for this resolution just work. I assume you have the 320x480 SPI version? tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107320 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

I am happy with PCP as it is serving me well. I have an instance of PCP/Jivelite with a 5-inch (I believe) screen connected via HDMI. Being at the same resolution as the rPi 7-inch touch screen (800x480) means the skins (and in my case, a modified version of CustomClock) all work (a big plus!). Mine doesn't have touch capability - I use LIRC instead. I think the HDMI-based displays with touch capability provide the touch input via USB, right?

I believe the latest updates also help if you choose to use the FLIRC dongle (in original implementation, the remote was overly sensitive - one push would act as multiple key-presses). I have had good results with a MCE IR remote - don't recall the exact part, however. The JiveLite accepts keyboard inputs (e.g., "a", "b", "c", ...) which are mapped to actions by JiveLite, such as play, fast forward, up, down, right, left, select, etc. You can setup a FLIRC dongle to create virtual keyboard keypresses in response to IR keypresses. The FLIRC dongle plugs into a USB port, and looks to JiveLite like a keyboard. The lirc route requires you to install an IR receiver, connected to the GPIO of the Raspberry Pi. I believe the mapping is already setup in that case where it works with an original Squeezebox or Touch IR Remote. tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105018 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Your challenge is there are no skins designed at that resolution. I know it would be possible, but it would be a lot of work to develop a set of skins for a new resolution - further ones which are setup for a touch screen.

Several applets store settings - look in "/home/tc/.jivelite/userpath/settings". Of course, you would have to save the settings to the SD card for these changes to be retained after reboot. For example, when I make changes in CustomClock, if I want them to be retained, then I use the PiCorePlayer applet to save settings to the SD card. An applet to control the brightness would be AWESOME. I looked a little yesterday to see how the Touch does it, but my applet/lua skills are very limited. I did find bits and pieces - looks like the "main" Touch lua (don't recall what it's called/where its located...) has the unique Touch configurations, and it seems to specify the brigthtness controls. The Touch is different since it has an ambient light sensor. tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103330 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 2.00
I was doing some testing, and in the process did a clean install of piCorePlayer 2.01 (re-imaged SD card). I realized that the "save to SD card" function of the PiCorePlayer applet (on JiveLite) didn't actually save the settings - I had installed applets, verified that they were active, then did the save from the PiCorePlayer applet. I then moved my device, and in the process power-cycled, and it did not have the settings saved. I verified that I COULD save the settings from the web interface to pCP. Further, I tried to reboot the pCP from the applet, and that didn't work either. Just a heads, up - maybe something changed in pCP 2.01, and the applet didn't keep up?

I don't know if there are any skins setup for this resolution. Then again, the Radio has the same screen resolution, so you might be in luck. My suggestion for screens is to try to standardize - the 800x480 resolution is good because that's the resolution of the official Raspberry Pi touch screen, so that will get the most support. tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105018 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

I've been trying to find the answer to the same question. Currently I have a >2A supply connected to the official RPi display, then powering an RPi2 via the GPIO jumpers. HOWEVER, this is currently just an RPi and display... I plan to install a HiFiBerry DAC+ and FLIRC, and maybe wifi dongle. At that point, the GPIO jumpers won't work (without soldering?). I am also concerned when I add a FLIRC to the RPi. I've ordered a micro-USB "Y" cable - idea would be micro-USB wall-wart (>2A) to "Y" cable, with one connector to micro-USB on display, second to micro-USB on RPI. I haven't tried yet, but ideally the RPi2 is OK powering the FLIRC (and wi-fi dongle if I add) via its USB ports. For this setup I'd prefer NOT to have to add a powered USB hub. I have "funded" a kickstarter RPi+Screen case, and I'd like the final configuration to look as clean as possible. My original RPi setup is a little different - I have an RPi B+ with a HiFiBerry AMP+ and an AdaFruit 5" 800x480 HDMI display, FLIRC and WIFI dongle. In this case, the AMP+ (12V supply, I think) provides power to the RPi via GPIO. The AMP+ however, isn't designed to power more than just the RPi on the 5V. In that configuration, I have a powered USB hub which provides power to the display (power only via USB) and to the FLIRC and WIFI Dongle (power and data). I'd rather NOT have two power supplies and a USB hub, but it works OK in that configuration. tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103330 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Well - I have my Pi setup running the PiCorePlayer and raphy's JiveLite version. Unfortunately, was NOT successful getting CustomClock to run I put the CustomClock and LicenseManager files into the applet directory ralphy described earlier. I can see CustomClock and LicenseManager menu items. The LicenseManager seems to indicate that CustomClock is licensed (I thought that would be a problem). When I got into the "screens" setting, under "screen savers" there is a "configure customclock" item, but it doesn't do anything (slight "bump" animation when selected, but nothing else). There are customclock screensaver options available under the screensaver menu, but no way to specify the actual customclock saver. One of the issues MAY be that CustomClock expects the model to be Touch, Radio or Controller (so it will enable the appropriate available screens by model), and there is no "Squeezelite" model. tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103330 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer = Squeezelite on Microcore linux. .An embedded OS in RAM with Squeezelit
I am trying to run PiCorePlayer as an alternative to SqueezeOnArch (SoA). My configuration is using a 5" 800x480 HDMI display. I managed to configure it under SoA, but don't know where to modify my PiCorePlayer setup. The monitor works, but it seems to not be correct - when booting it looks like there's only information for a smaller display (extra space on the monitor). I see the same thing with the JiveLite in PiCorePlayer - it doesn't extend all the way across the screen.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: Squeeze on Arch - developer version
I am trying to get an IR receiver to work with my Raspberry Pi using Squeeze on Arch (hoping to use IR remote to control using Jivelite). I installed lirc, but can't seem to get the lirc_rpi module to work. I don't know if it needs to be compiled(?) with the kernel? Most of the how to's for using IR with the RPI show commands/options using the lirc_rpi module, but none seem to work for me. tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101624 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: Squeeze on Arch - developer version
Just ran through the SoA setup on a Raspberry Pi B+. I was amazed how smoothly it went. One concern I have is stuttery/crackly audio. I just set the thing up, so I'm using the built-in audio - I know it's not supposed to be great, but I expected better from the B+. Are there configurations to improve the performance with the built-in audio? I'm expecting to upgrade to something from Hifiberry, but I haven't ordered yet, so I think it will be a while before I get a chance to try!

What a pity. -G Have you tried to perform a XILINX reset and/or factory reset? Information is on the wiki: Some system operations that require you to point your remote control on the Squeezebox while starting the Squeezebox. To be sure you're doing it right, pull the power from the unit, press and hold the appropriate button on the remote while keeping it pointed at the unit, and give the unit power again, while all the time keeping the remote button pressed and the remote pointed at the unit.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Has the Debian/Ubuntu repo moved?
I think the problem is with another of the repos for Ubuntu - when I did the apt-get update a couple of days ago it also hung in the middle of the update, but I think it had already gotten info from the slim repo. -- tcutting tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77056 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Can't play 24-96 files at all
You realize that unless you are playing through a Touch or Transporter, you are not actually playing the files at 96kHz? That's what SOX does, it resamples to a rate the player can handle (probably 48kHz). You are, however, getting the benefit of 24bit as opposed to 16 bits. -- tcutting tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76526 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Ubuntu OS for a headless mini PC running SC + mixed Windows/Ubuntu network.
As far as Ubuntu running in a linux/windows environment, that is no problem. You would run SAMBA which allows the linux to share its disks on the network so Windows can see it. You can move files to/from windows, update files on the linux side, modify with mp3tag from the windows machine. That's what I have running. There was a learning curve, and was some work getting the Samba service setup the way I wanted. You might look into the Vortexbox application - I believe there is a complete Vortexbox appliance available which is integrated hardware and software, but I think you can also get just the software which is a Linux OS setup with Squeezebox Server, SAMBA, and also apps to rip CDs directly. -- tcutting tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70547 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] invisible music in SC
Are you re-scanning from squeezecenter after the new music is added? When you say SC can see the music when copying, what do you mean? Are you browsing by folder? Do any of the directories or filenames have characters which might be a problem with the Linux filesystem? I had a problem when I first moved my music files from Windows to Linux - some of the the albums had . in them, and this confused the Linux file system so it could't see these. -- tcutting tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67643 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Album showing as empty, although it's not.
Try changing the file names to remove these special characters. Remember that Squeezecenter gets its database values for song title, etc, from the tags and not the filenames (except, possible if you only navigate by folders rather than scanning and using the Albums, Artists or Genre to select albums and/or songs). -- tcutting tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64978 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
