For example, it currently says for the Scan button: "Scan for Bluetooth devices. This will Scan for Bluetooth devices, make sure the device is in pair mode." how about "This will Scan for Bluetooth devices, make sure the device is in pair mode. If you pair with a Speaker, a new Squeezelite player instance will be created, by default named with the Bluetooth device name of the speaker, and settings from the main Squeezelite page do not apply". And then on the main Squeezelite page, put something on there to make it clear that none of it applies to Bluetooth.

I hadn't realised that it sets up a whole parallel player instance. That's really confusing !

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 6.x.x - Bluetooth
I'm trying to connect a Bluetooth speaker. I've got as far as installing the bluetooth stuff, turning it on and have successfully paired the speaker. But I can't work out how to actually connect the speaker up to squeezelite. In the squeezelite audio output menu there's no option for bluetooth. Is there some other way it's supposed to be selected ? I've also tried selecting what looks like it might be the right device in the "output setting", but that just gives an error message.

It's a very good user experience, although I'm not sure if it would cover all the features of Ipeng, since I've never used that. It's certainly on a par with the Android LMS apps now. ---- tw99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51684 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111755 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

You need to convert it into an actual invocation of the mount command, with the correct parameters. tw99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51684 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112556 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

OK - so are those user commands guaranteed to be run before squeezelite is started by PCP & does the startup process wait for them to complete ? If not I'll also need to handle what happens if the DAC happens to be powered up, which would have allowed PCP's squeezelite to start normally before my script gets in there. ---- tw99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51684 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110642 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 5.0.0
I'm using PiCorePlayer with a USB DAC. It works very well indeed. The only issue I have is what happens if the USB DAC is not powered on when PCP starts up. In this case squeezelite fails to start because the specified output device is not available. So it needs some manual intervention to get it to work again. Before I used PCP I had a trivial script that waited for the USB DAC to be available before properly starting squeezelite, as follows. Is there a way I can do something like this with the existing PCP customization options ? Or if I need to hack it in somewhere by hand, any suggestions as to the best place ? Code: #!/bin/bash while true do # see if USB DAC is available yet if ~pi/squeezelite-armv6hf -l | grep -ql "Anti" then # it is ~pi/squeezelite-armv6hf -s 192.168.0.4 -n "Lounge RPi" else # keep waiting sleep 1 fi done Thanks in advance for any ideas... tw99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51684 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110642 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
