Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 7.0.0
Hi, is it possible to have one of the GPIO PINS to indicate if there is an audio signal or not? Whit this it would be very easy to switch on and off an external amp.

I have searched in the source code of Squeezelite, but I'm not good enough in C. My goal is to power the external AMP only if I use the piCorePlayer for playing some audio. The player is always on. Does anybody have an idea how to solve this? toupman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67169 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
[SlimDevices: Unix] Power on and off an external AMP with piCorePlayer
Hi, I want to install a pi with piCorePlayer on it in my main bathroom behind the mirror. Therefore I prepared everything and I have network, power and two speaker cables behind the mirror. The two speaker cables are ending in the ceiling where I have planed to install some in-ceiling speakers. To power these speakers I want to use a small S.M.S.L. 36 or 50. My problem is that the pi will be running 24/7 but I don't want to run the amp 24/7. Therefore I'm searching a solution to power the amp only when piCorePlayer really plays some music. In another Thread I already found that there is an option in Squeezelite ( -G ) to have a GPIO of the pi for remotely powering an amp via a relay. But nobody could tell me if this pin is always active when squeezelite is active or only when the audio output is sending something. Do you have any idea about this, or any other idea to get this working?

I agree. The -G with power save and the software switch would really be better than a constantly switching amp. toupman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67169 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113919 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
