Unfortunately, there is no list.  Manufacturers are well known for using
many different chips in their products, and no way to identify them
until you stick them in the system.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2022-12-21 Thread mr-b


Is there a list of recommended USB BT adapters? I'm having lots of
troubles with the built-in RPi one.

I checked the PCP docs but there isn't a list. A forum search turned up
a Maxesla v4.0 adapter on Amazon but it's no longer available.
Knowing the supported chipsets would help too. I know Realtek ones are
not supported but I didn't quite understand the reason why. Nor do I
understand how one would use the Realtek firmware posted recently or if
it's going to cause problems. All a bit confusing. :-(

can you recommend a usb AC wifi device, Paul? 

I bought a generic realtek one on walmart and compiled drives to see if
I could get it workig on Ubuntu 22.04 and had no luck.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2022-12-18 Thread DL6ER


I was pretty disappointed by the Raspberry Pi's internal Bluetooth
module but none of the Bluetooth USB dongles I had was working with
piCorePlayer because of missing firmware:

[   26.545192] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: firmware file
rtl_bt/rtl8761bu_fw.bin not found

Hence, I created a f*irmware extension adding support for
Realtek-powered devices* in piCorePlayer. You can find it here:
https://www.dl6er.de/pCP/firmware-bluetooth-rtl.tcz
The firmware has been taken from 'git.kernel.org'
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/rtl_bt).

I'd like to ask for inclusion in the piCorePlayer repository for
simplicity reasons as other users might find this useful, too.

With this extension loaded at boot time, I succeeded in testing seven
out of seven different Bluetooth 4.0, 5.0 and 5.1 dongles.
I particularly enjoy being able to stream to my piCorePlayer from
everywhere in the house to my EDUP 100M USB Bluetooth Dongle.

Best,
Dominik

Not sure why I can not set the codec from my Samsung. But finally I
managed to get it to work.

I set the main squeezelite settings as follow (*Audio output device
settings* to *USB audio* and *Output setting* leaved empty.

39187

The BT Output Device to *default* (probably will work with blank field
too) and the Shairport-sync settings all default (blank fields).

All three outputs working without issues now.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2022-11-19 Thread Plush


I am using Bluetooth in Player mode. Streaming audio works from all my
devices, but volume control does not: I can control the volume when
playing music from an Android phone, but when using a Mac as the source,
the Mac's volume setting is ignored. I experimented a bit and found that
this is because bluetoothd was started without the --plugin=a2dp flag.
By default, it is started as /usr/local/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd
--experimental. When I kill it and restart it as
/usr/local/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd --experimental --plugin=a2dp, volume
control works with all my devices.

I cannot find the sources for this part of piCorePlayer anywhere, so I
can't make a patch and I am not sure how to make my fix persistent. For
now, I SSH in after every boot and restart bluetoothd with the correct
flags. It would be nice if this fix would be upstreamed.

Would you be so kind and help me what the setup should be, please?

On the pcp only squeezelite and shairport are running. BT would be the
third option. Or Chromecast, but as far as I know it is hard to achieve
(getting it to work).

Here is my current configuration:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/gyWHc8bU6mWrpDrb6

Be advise that:
- I am currently using the USB dac, which is set under *Squeezelite
settings/Output setting* as *hw:CARD=Audio,DEV=0*. The *Audio output
device settings* is set to *None* because I did not find the correct
option to use just any usb connected device,
- I can't set the BT to be always discoverable - the Save button is not
available for this option,
- device connected to pcp is my phone, Samsung A52S - I can not set the
codec option for it on the phone and pcp too - option is not available
to choose.

Thank you!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2022-11-09 Thread bengaldave


Hello,

So goal is to be able to have my Teams audio playing on my speakers
attached to my piCoreplayer.

This part works.

Is this the behavior I should be seeing?
1) After manually disconnecting bluetooth from Windows to
piCoreplayer, top volume level from piCoreplayer is very low. 
Only rebooting piCoreplayer sets volume back to "normal" 
2) If there is local playback on piCoreplayer, cannot connect
bluetooth. Must stop local playback first. 


Example workflow
1) Manually connect from windows PC to piCoreplayer
2) Have teams meeting
3) When teams meeting is over and would like to start music playing on
piCoreplayer

Must disconnect manally, player controls does not let me start playing
music until I manually disconnect.

4) After manually disconnecting, volume is very low. Setting volume to
max, does not make it very load.

5) Reboot, and then local play is at correct volume.

Thanks once more. 
The aim is to have a Raspberry Pi running piCorePlayer + Bluetooth + LMS
with a small library picked for the occasion, everything on the SD card.
And there is no network at all in the venues where the end-users will be
meeting so the setup will be completely stand-alone, no screen or
keyboard within typing distance!

Over the last day or two I've done a whole heap more googling and think
I'm almost certainly trying to use the wrong tool for my job. pCP and
LMS have a network at their heart - a plug-and-play with no user
controls does not. I've been using LMS in various ways for about 15
years, so it was my natural first choice. 

I have just tried my working setup in a place with no network. Plugging
in the speaker produced no sound. Going back home, plugging in the
speaker produced music as expected - the only difference was wifi being
available vs not being available. And I think that confirms that I
should be trying something different altogether. 

So I'm not going to try and take this any further and instead use a
better tool for the job.

And again, I really am grateful to you for having taken the time to help
me this far. Time for another donation into the tips jar :-)

getting the bluetooth connection.   But the device itself is not

Yes you can do it that way..There is still networking processes
running on the local device.

Create a simple script that waits for the specific player name to be
recognized by LMS, then issue the play command.

That script would be ran at startup in the user commands portion of pCP.

Thanks for all the advice, Paul. Sometimes I want to hear my hair out! 
Today I powered up the Pi with a keyboard and monitor, to have a little
look at what lies inside piCore. 
LMS was sending random tracks to the headphone socket, the only player
it had, as instructed in the tweak "Auto start LMS"
Later I turned on the speaker - instant pairing (Argh - tears hair!),
but no sound as LMS had nothing in its list for player SR06151. Log
below if it's not too long (or in the next post if it is) which I expect
will show everything normal.

Is there a way for me to send LMS a command "randomplay tracks on
SR06151", MAC:E0:B7:C5:5B:7C:90, with no network connection being
available? Either after pairing, or after a time delay long enough to
allow pairing to happen if it's going to? 
[My goal is a stand-alone setup, in a place with no wifi, with the users
doing no more than plugging in the boxes.] 
I should need a tweak like that only once - my final setup can just live
without updates for as long as it keeps on working.

And my fallback remains a cable from the headphone socket to the
speaker, just in case...

2022-11-02 Thread paul-


Its up to LMS to remember the playback modenothing I can do about
that from the bluetooth side.  Once the player connects, take a look a
the lms interface and see what is in the playback queue.

As for the logs, that all looks normal, you will notice in the second
log that you are pressing the play/pause button on the speaker.  Again,
that all looks normal.

I turned the speaker on after "info" and waited a few minutes before
"connect"
After connecting, LMS found the speaker (but has not remembered it's
supposed to play a random mix of tracks)

My technical adviser (aka my son on the other side of the world)
suggests adding a button to the box (a 3D print project) to kick off a
script that forces the connection then sends the LMS "play random mix"
command. That might be a bit too techy for me, but it's a possibility.
I've got till mid-January to finish the job, and a wired connection
remains the fall-back plan.

I had one speaker device that would not try to connect when powered
on.never could figure out why.  None of my other headsets/speakers
do that.

Power off your speaker and reboot your pi, then ssh in

run "bluetoothctl"

type: paired-devices

You should see a list of devices that are paired on your systemmake
sure your speaker's mac address is shown.  If it is not then there is
something preventing the backup of the paired devices...

type: info 

This should show settings for the paired device, I'm mainly interested
to know what is in the "trust" field.   The device should be trusted.

Power on speaker,

Type:  connect 

What do you see.

Thanks again for the reply, Paul.
I took the battery out of the other device - but it still shows up on a
scan, so something somewhere is storing its id ("Bluthing")!
No real difference in the behaviour of the speaker vs pCP Bluetooth.
Here's a summary, beginning with a working, playing speaker connected
over BT:
1. Speaker off, speaker back on - pairs and play resumes
2. Speaker off, reboot Pi - BT starts, speaker remembered as paired,
with a red X
3. As 2, then speaker on - no change, and no new entries in log
4. As 3, then click "connect". Red X changes to green tick, speaker does
not beep to announce pairing, nothing in log, no actual connection (I
refreshed the screen a few times during this, not sure at exactly what
point I saw the green tick)
5. Back to 2, click "forget", "scan" finds the speaker (and includes
Bluthing in the list in the pane at the top of the BT screen), offers
speaker for pairing, pair as usual and all works. (LMS has not
remembered the song mix that was playing, but that's not related to BT)

The goal for this little project is a plug-and-play-power-only setup for
a bunch of old ladies hosting a gathering. There won't be a network,
input device or display. None of them knows anything about IT stuff so I
think that goal is probably unachievable. If I come across a BT speaker
I can borrow, I'll check that out in case it works like my Sony
headphones (which simply work over BT). I can make a suitable system
with a plugged speaker so I'll see if they'll be happy with an extra
wire.

Cheers - and once more, big big thanks for the BT work and helpful
support.

Thanks Paul - as far as I can tell, when LMS does get the 'play'
command, all goes as it should and the music plays. Sorry for my poor
choice of subject for the post. The challenge is getting as far as the
play command.

Line 129 in the log file is the play command finally happening. And the
music is still playing 12 hours later :-) 

Before getting to line 129, there have been numerous connect and
disconnect signals - Is that the Pi and speaker trying but failing to
automatically re-connect? The successful connection occurred only after
I had clicked "forget" and then scanned/paired again. 

The speaker's mac address is MAC:E0:B7:C5:5B:7C:90   At the time this
was happening, there was one more BT device within range (mac ending F9)
which is an atmospheric measurement device. Is that a contributing
factor?

Any and every suggestion welcome!

The resuming is a function of LMS not bluetooth.

I've got pCP 8.0.0 running OK on a Pi 3B+. My BT speaker will pair with
the Pi and LMS successfully plays on it. After the Pi has been powered
off and started up again, turning on the speaker will not pick up where
it left off - in fact it won't play anything at all until it's
"forgotten" and re-paired. I've found a couple of similar questions
earlier in this thread but the answers there didn't make any difference.
I'm guessing the problem is the speaker's own software - I use
headphones on a different Pi over BT and they simply resume when powered
on.

A technical question - is there any way of making the pairing happen
without keyboard/screen intervention by a user (perhaps pressing a
button to do the pairing)? 
[The goal is a "black box" that the users will simply plug in, then a
minute or two later turn on the speaker, and the pre-loaded music will
just happen. No network, or other wires except power on/off.]

An alternative question - other people do have BT speakers that resume
when powered up. Could anyone share what models they have so I can try a
bit of shopping instead of technology?

Thanks, folks :-)

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2022-10-27 Thread Spev


Hi, is there any step by step documentation for bluetooth setup in
8.X.0?  I've just upgraded both my pcp players to 8.2.0 and can't get
bluetooth audio playing at all, it was working fine in 7.0.0.   I'm
using iphone 7 and can pair it ok, it shows on the pcp page as being
paired and set as player, but when I select it as output in spotify in
my phone I'm getting nothing.   This is on a rasp 3b+ with Ian Cananda
dac.   The dac controller screen shows "No input" and where the phono
would usually show a little headphone icon when connected to bluetooth
up in the top right corner there is nothing.   Not really sure where to
look to debug.

No massive issue as 99% of my playing is via the web UI, but would just
be nice to get it working again.

Thanks.

Seems a lot of faff!  Don't fancy reconfiguring everything again. 
As workaround I've set up a TV stick as a dedicated Bluetooth player

methods of upgrading LMS won’t be there, but the old scripting methods
worked fine.

I get the same problems on both a 3b and a pi 400.  With 7 wouldn't I
lose online integration for tidal and Spotify?

If you are using old hardware, there is nothing preventing you from
using old versions, i.e. pcp7.

I only used the bt to setup speakers/headphones as players.  I guess
you're trying to play to pcp from windows?

CAn you say which version exactly?

I've found Windows BT recently to be very flaky, and incredibly
sluggish. I know BT has suffered anyway since inception due to multiple
"interpretations" of its implementation.
I keep wishing there was a low-latency wifi based alternative.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2022-10-20 Thread mr-b


Well I've got Win11 to work on one PCP!
But it was an arduous journey and I still can't get it to work on the
other PCP. :-(
To be fair I've had similar symptoms with Win10 but on a different
laptop so I can't completely blame Win11.

It's working on a rPi 4B and piCorePlayer v8.2.0 | www v00017 | linux
5.15.35-pcpCore-v7l (32) | piCore v13.2 | Squeezelite v1.9.9-1392-pCP.
It's not working thus far on a 3B+ and the same PCP s/w.

It seems that keeping PCP's "Discoverable" = Yes helps.
Also the behaviour seems random after the Windows scans for BT devices
and tries to pair. Sometimes it pairs and allows one to connect, other
times Windows says after a delay that the other device "would like to
pair to this Windows device"!
Sometimes devices take ages to appear in the Windows BT scan list,
sometimes not.

Another gotcha was that the PCP "Paired Devices" entry somehow changed
from Type = Player to Speaker. I think the symptom of this was that the
PC's paired device connected and then disconnected immediately
afterwards. I've no idea how that config change happpened but I
certainly didn't change it. I've seen that twice now on different PCPs
but can't reproduce it. Once I changed that back to Type = Player it
remained connected.

Another issue appears to be signal strength. Both laptops and PCPs seem
to be quite different in this. I suspect my PCP's metal case doesn't
exactly help in this regard.
I might try one of the USB dongles that others report as working e.g.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Maxesla-Bluetooth-Wireless-Transmitter-Controller/dp/B0126XU9CM/ref=sr_1_16?dchild=1&keywords=Maxesla&qid=1626034484&sr=8-16

Maybe a wizard to step through might help eradicate issues and make sure
every value is set correctly.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2022-10-19 Thread mr-b


Tx, I've worked out some of what was going wrong.

After I'd updated my second PCP and BT stopped working, I spotted there
was a new status bullet "Bluealsa is running".
Then I saw a new section with a "BT Output Device" setting which was
blank. The possible values looked similar to the Squeezelite audio
output setting but with ",DEV=0" tacked on the end, so I guessed at
that.
I looked at the Alsa Volume setting which recommended to check
alsamixer. I found that under under Squeezelite but could not make head
nor tail of the settings so i've ignored it for now.
But the BT output now works! :-)

Checking the the first PCP, it didn't have the Bluealsa bullet despite
my verifying that no BT updates were available. After multiple browser
refreshes by chance I spotted that PCP was on 8.1.0 when the second was
on 8.2.0.
So I upgraded PCP in-situ and then the four BT bullets were present. I
set the BT output setting and that works too! Phew! :-)

Maybe the BT update checker (which also seems to take well over a minute
each time) could check the PCP version too, if that's a known
compatibility issue?

I'll look at Win11 again another day ...

I suspect Windows 11 is going to be a problem, I don't have any Windows
11 machines, and I don't plan on it for a while.

As for the tablet, The BT update included new codecs, and brought volume
control.  I cannot tell, if things are playing without any volume, or if
there is nothing playing at all.

I tried on another PC and was able to replicate this i.e. udate BT s/w
and the tablt can still connect but no audio is heard.

Then I wwent back to the old BT s/w and tried it with Windows 11.
Wi11 could see the PCP but it couldn't connect. Event Log says "The
mutual authentication between the local BT adapter and a device with BT
address (blah blah) failed."
So the behaviour is the same with the old and updated PCP BT s/w.

Interestingly the BT address  in the Win11 event log is not seen at all
in the PCP logs, but I've no idea if I'm making an incorrect assumption
about BT addresses being similar to MAC addrsses.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2022-10-18 Thread mr-b


After trying out Win11 which I thought had messed up my existing tabet
BT pairing, I decided to do an image restore. After that the tablet
worked fine.

Then before trying out Win11 again tonight I thought it prudent to
update BT. How wrong I was!
First of all my tablet would no longer connect to PCP. So I deleted the
BT pairing on the tablet and did a Forget on PCP.
Then I re-paired the tablet with PCP, it reconnected but now there is no
music playing to be heard.

Do the logs make any sense?

OK. I'll see if I can spin up a VM on my Win10 laptop.

But meanwhile I've now found that BT seems to be completely hosed on
that PCP. It won't even power up the BT controller now. 

Turning the BT Controller power on...

I've removed BT and reinstalled to no avail.

Restarted multiple times etc. Has Win11 royally screwed it? Time to
restore a backup image?

Hi

Does anyone have *exact* instructions on how to pair a PCP with
Windows11?
I've tried various incantations of pairing, discovering etc. on both
ends but neither device sees the other, even though "unknown devices"
are seen and my PCP pairs fine with Android devices.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2022-09-28 Thread tuc


Hi forum,

I hope this question is in scope for this thread although I can see it
is mainly about BT connection from LMS to speakers.

I would like to BT-stream from my phone to LMS and play the stream on
(sync'ed) players (also non-PcP based players like squeezebox boom).
Is this possible? Or is it better to use the LMS WaveIn Plugin?

I have followed som older instructions from a (now dead) thread:
https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?113521-Stream-BT-audio-to-LMS-on-RPi3

but I cannot get this to work.
Basically, everything seems to work except for sound coming out of the
speakers (details in my last post of the abovementioned thread, I used a
PcP-v8.3.0-based player when testing).
Any ideas for solutions or how to debug?

Could be really cool to get this feature working :p
Best

That normally means the bluetooth stack has crashed.  Are you sure

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2022-04-10 Thread carsten_h


Hello!

Today I have a very strange Bluetooth problem. 
This is the 32bit piCorePlayer 8.1.0 on a Pi 3B+ with an external
Bluetooth dongle which is working fine since months. 
When it starts, I can connect a Bluetooth speaker and it plays without
any problem. No dropouts or something like that. 
But when I switch off the speaker I am getting this:
37672

But when I try to switch on Bluetooth nothing is happening. The only
solution so far is to reboot the Pi. 

When I am using a headphone and disconnecting it this is not happening!

Is this something that can be fixed?

Hi!

Today I installed a Pi Zero W with piCorePlayer 8.1 (32bit) and after
several Updates and the Bluetooth installation I managed to get it to
work with my Headphone without any problem.
Great work! Thank you!

Now I have a new player that is named like the connected Headphone.

But I also have a player that is named "piCorePlayer" which is the
Squeezelite that has no connection to anything. Is it somewhere possible
to disable it, so that LMS is not seeing this? I searched the menus but
didn't find something.

Thank you!

I have a piZeroW and its running piCorePlayer8.1 w/ LMS (its my
'vacation system')
It has been running well a long time - including Bluetooth.

However, powering up again after some non-use time, BT is not working
anymore.
(3 red cross warnings at top of BT Page)

The only thing I did in between was adding IR Remote capabilities -
which works fine.
After noticing BT not working I updated everything (was running pCP8.0
before)

I wanted to try a reinstall of BT, but using the 'Remove' Button (on the
Bluetooth page of the Web-Interface) seems not to remove it, as after a
reboot it still has the buttons 'Update' and 'Remove' - and not
'Install'

Can someone point me to how to trouble-shoot?

I attatch the dmsg info, in case that helps for identifying the
issue

(I really hope to get this fixed w/o a complete reinstall)

Thanks Paul for feedback. I've thought so, so I've solved it in a
different approach using sbnetio plugin and writing small python server
which listens to commands from the plugin. Python server controls GPIO
output on received command. Works like a charm :)

Its mostly done, but I got sidetracked with kernel 5.15.x testing.  Yes

Hi Paul,

If you are looking for some guinea pigs to test the aptx feature, I have

Extra question, do you plan to add ldac support ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2022-03-07 Thread denmla


Hello, 

I'm not sure if this is related to the fact that I'm using bluetooth
dongle as output to play music or with something else, but I suspect it
could be due to the fact that bluetooth dongle is on one player tab and
picoreplayer on another..anyway, I'm trying to use pcp CLI to determine
status (pcp mode: stop/playing). I need this for a sh script to power
GPIO on status play.

Problem is when I issue the pcp mode command it states STOP, but music
is playing over the bluetooth. Not sure if it is looking for the default
picoreplayer tab (which I'm not using since it is standard audio output
from the rpi, I0m only using BT).

Here is an image of the issue:
37403

Is there some way around this?

thanks in advance!

Solved ! i looked at differences between HDMI and D10 configuration in

not set in good wat. I forced a differente option and now also bluetooth
is working good !
I changed output to sysdefault:CARD=D10, saved and now pcp.cfg is ok.

this is a small bug ?

I know seems not set. Tomorrow i'll look at file pcpcfg because in web

Of couse is set in squeezelite page as output device and is working
PERFECT the USB D10 in that way.
Log is made with D10 configured in this way. But bluetooth doesn't "see"
it. So somenthing is missing in "chain"
About pin seems some trouble in paring, if i "remove" phone in web page 
i can connect  again without problems.

When you set usb, you must manually set the squeezelite output on the

As for headphones, I’ve never seen any that need a pin. pCP is set for

Hi, really GREAT job with picoPlayer !
I have a Rasp 4 with an USB dac D10, all is working good BUT i have no
sound from bluetooth phones i connect. I tried 3 phones, all are paired
and connected good but no sound from output. 
If i remove external DAC and use hdmi on TV the audio bluetooth is
WORKING ! So i suppose is some settings, seems blu player can't detec
usb dac or similar.
Simply total silence.
Any fast help ? I can add some log if needed but maybe is really an
"idiot" question.
Thanks a lot !

Hi Paul,

2 months back you helped me to solve my bluetooth issue whereby my dac
cannot accept 16 bits data, and with your help I modified asound.conf
file to add an output option to "upsample" the data to 32 bits, and it
worked. Later on, I tried to enable Alsa EQ. With Alsa EQ enabled, it
has changed the output settings and does not allow selection of output
devices, so I cannot use the solution that you provided. Is there anyway
to get around it?

Thanks for offering Paul.
After I posted the plea for help I realised I was being a wimp, so I
went the the Tiny website and read the docs. It wasn't in all honestly
that hard to create an extension for the dongle I had (a Ugreen BT5.0
stick based on the RTL8761b chip) and it's working fine right now after
following the rest of your guide.
If there's any general interest I'll upload the .tcz file and
installation instructions.

Apologies in advance if this isn't the place to ask

I'm trying to add a Bluetooth dongle to my Pi 2, but PCP doesn't
recognise it (or rather, knows what it is but hasn't got the firmware
for it). I've actually got the firmware files, and they work fine under
Raspbian on the same Pi. But how do I update PCP (or more likely Tiny
Core I suppose) to include the files?
I'm sort of hoping the answer isn't "Become a tinycore guru" :)

A Bluetooth headset connecting to you laptop is different than the
laptop connecting to pCP to stream.

And the conf file is by design, I don’t purge the file.  It has nothing
to do with the actual Bluetooth connection.

But my PC  don't have any problem sending its sound to other bluetooth

Do you know in my case, who should initiate the pairing? PI (the

Removing it wouldn't work - it still showed the "Remove" button after
going through the process (tried several times). I ended up starting
from scratch with the 32-bit version. Eventually got it installed (had
to enable IPv6 on my network or else pCP kept showing "Internet/DNS not
accessible" and couldn't download the packages through the Bluetooth
Install button - not sure why, when individual extensions didn't have
issue installing) and got my phone connected as a player successfully.
But couldn't get any audio out.

I decided to drop it. Switched back to a fresh 64-bit version and using
it only for squeezelite now. Thank you for your help though!

One thing about the install for bluetooth - several times it failed on

It's definitely a 3B:

I see some messages in dmesg referencing BCM43430, which I think is the
bluetooth? Nothing that looks like an error though

Then my next comment.  Are you sure you have a rpi3B.   Please look at
the diagnostics page, and then select the “Raspberry Pi”
page.

Also look at the dmesg section of Diagnostics.   Bluetooth stuff will be
near the bottom of that section.

Hi, I can't get the BT Controller to turn on. I'm on a RPi 3B,
piCorePlayer v8.1.0.

It gets stuck on the screen saying

Code:

Turning the BT Controller power on...



I've tried to wait as long as 30 mins, but it never turns on.

The logs don't give much info to whats going on:

Code:

pCP Bluetooth extension build:0020
  Starting BT Controller

  Set BDADDR UART: b8:27:eb:f8:c1:65
  Set Controller UART speed to 921600 bit/s

When you are playing from your phone to rpi sound device, LMS is not
involved in the slightest.  And the streamer option is creating a
network streamer.   But there is no control interface to that.  Its not
different than a radio station at that point.

Android Developer Settings, at least on my phone, will let you force
these codecs to be used.  Yeah, mine is on AAC now, likely
auto-detected, but I can set to AptX, AptXHD, LDAC, LHDC, AptX Adaptive,
and AptX TWS+.

Would love to be a guinea pig.

Also, any way for LMS to see the volume changes?  I tap into the
internal command line to be notified of volume changes and then
dynamically compute a new EQ curve so that it sounds more-or-less the
same at all volumes (more bass and treble at low volumes, less at
higher, much less at extreme volume, etc) and now I have to click volume
buttons on the box (which don't work - would like to have that working
as well) to fix the EQ if I change volume with the phone.  I was hoping
the "Streamer" option would have done what I wanted.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2022-02-05 Thread StevenEllis


Is there any way to increase the buffer between LMS and the bluetooth
device?

I've got some poor 2.4GHz wifi issues and I'm getting jumpy audio to my
Sony BT speakers on a regular basis.

I'm currently using a Raspi-Zero-W and I have the most issues if I use
the built in BT & Wifi.

I've tried an external BT Dongle, but that simply made things far worse.
Then I tried turning off the built in WiFI and using an old 2.4Ghz wifi
stick. It is a little bit better, but can still be a bit patchy.

I've also tried a Pi3 using 5.4 GHz wifi and everything was much better,
but I don't have a spare unit to use as a streamer full time.

Looking at my WiFi APs I'm seeing a lot of re-tried traffic heading to
the pizero. On the raspi side I appear to have a stable wifi
connection.

The wierd part with all of this is we'll have a couple of days where the
BT speakers will work with almost no issues, and then we'll have a
couple of days of constant stuttering. I'd really appreciate any
tips/tricks as I'm running out of ideas

Hi All
I just updated my Rpi4 setup from using my Synology Nas as LMS server to
directly my Rpi4 as server now.
Everything is great, the interface is nicer, more modern however, even
if not a super big deal, I can't play DSD/DSF files anymore. (I
installed the DSD plugin).
The player seems to play the file but there is no sound and the DAC
doesn't recognize the file anymore.
Any idea?

That is the way the system works for me.  The first time you need to
manually start, but all future connections resume the current playlist. 
Network streams will likely start at the next track…..it depends on how
long your speaker is off.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2022-02-05 Thread oneup


Hello

I just wanted to recycle an 'old' raspberry 3 and piCorePlayer seems to
be a great way to answer my needs.

My usage is quite simple : throw an audio stream (mainly a deezer
playlist or an internet radio) to a bluetooth speaker, and for now it
works just fine.

Howerver, I'm wondering if it is possible to make it completely
automatic (= no manual action needed), depending on the speaker state :

- when I switch on the speaker, the audio stream (deezer or radio) is
launching automatically
- when I switch off the speaker, the system pauses
- and so on

for now, I always have to restart / reconnect / have to launch
explicitely the wanted stream when I switch off then on the speaker.

Any help very appreciated (if it is possible and how?)

Thanks and have a good day!
