If it does not work with a recent Raspberry Pi OS (I tested with
2022-09-22-raspios-bullseye-armhf ) then it is almost certainly not
going to work with pCP.

If using raspios then the only thing you have to do is
sudo cec-ctl --playback
because it defaults to using kms and the tooling is already installed.

2022-11-13 Thread Greg Erskine


Mainly pCP 8.1.0

The problem I have is I have never had CEC work, and there are so many
variables.

Maybe my TV doesn't work properly, maybe the cable is sub standard??

And RPT have been playing around with HDMI since the release of the
RPi4B, so each kernel version is probably different.

I started with a RPi0W but have changed to a RPi1B (with USB wifi) to
reduce one variable.

8.1 works

Minimum steps to reproduce

Fresh SD card and put pCP 8.1 on it
Edit config.txt
gpu_mem=80 # For RPi1 not sure if needed for others

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d

No need to comment out dtparam=audio=on ... which brings bonus that
"headphone" device will still exist and, I presume, be available for
Squeezelite (along with HDMI via iec958:CARD=vc4hdmi,DEV=0 )

Extensions - add v4l2-utils.tcz (to get the CEC controls)
(no need to resize SD card in this minimum setup - but you will have to
if you later install Jivelite).

pcp br

sudo cec-ctl --playback (ultimately ... put it in Tweaks as a startup
option but without "sudo " at the front)

sudo cec-ctl --monitor

use TV remote arrow keys and you should see
Received from TV to Playback Device 1 (0 to 4): POLL
Received from TV to Playback Device 1 (0 to 4): USER_CONTROL_PRESSED
(0x44):
ui-cmd: right (0x04)
Received from TV to Playback Device 1 (0 to 4): USER_CONTROL_RELEASED
(0x45)
Received from TV to Playback Device 1 (0 to 4): USER_CONTROL_PRESSED

ui-cmd: left (0x03)
Received from TV to Playback Device 1 (0 to 4): USER_CONTROL_RELEASED
(0x45)
Received from TV to Playback Device 1 (0 to 4): POLL

You should also see that "up" does command line history recall if you
have the RPi console visible on TV.
If you had installed Jivelite and had it visible then you should be able
to move through the menus (do not use Grid screen because no way to do
equivalent of click / brightness).

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer Documentation

2022-11-13 Thread Paul Webster


... I went back to pCP 8.1 and it didn't work ... then back to 8.0 and
it didn't work ...
so just before I tried 8.0b3 (where I am pretty sure I had it working) I
tried one more thing ...

I now have 8.0 with TV remote working.

Trick was to give explicit amount of gpu_mem in config.txt
I had been commenting it out which I thought would default to 64 on RPi1
but seems like that is not enough.
So I put
gpu_mem=80
in config.txt along with the dtoverlay for kms plus adding the
v4l2-utils extension and the cec-ctl --playback in the Tweaks for
startup.

The cursor keys work - which is enough to do basic things in non-grid
skin.

Would be great if someone in pCP team can repeat this success.

I tried to repeat with 8.2 and it did not work ... HDMI via KMS working
fine ... but CEC commands not seen on the way in.

sudo cec-ctl --monitor
does not show the IR commands coming in.


Will try again with 8.1 to try to work out when the retrograde step
happened.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer Documentation

2022-11-12 Thread Paul Webster

For a reason that ai have not yet worked out, I am not able to get kms
working with pCP 8.2 on my spare RPi 1.

However, try this on a pCP system that has kms + HDMI working:
Install extension v4l-utils 
Then put this in startup tweaks

cec-ctl —playback
(MinusMinus)
and reboot

You should get a multi-line console message when booting showing that it
found the CEC device

That might be enough for it to work (it is on latest Raspberry Pi OS).

If it does not work … try from command line:
sudo cec-ctl —monitor
and press a few keys on TV remote to see if anything gets printed on
terminal

On the LMS page (in pCP) you should be able to select which flavour of

Ah, that looks like a better idea indeed. 
Made the change and removed rpi-vc extension. All still works (on pCP
8.1.0) . 

Not sure if relevant but checked with a pCP 4.12 on a rpi3b+ and that
sys class is there as well ofcourse, so I think all versions should
benefit.

I wonder what it would take to have PcP added to the official Pi Imager
software? It seems popular enough as a music player, and it's the only
one that's completely free, non-commercial and actively maintained.

Hello!

In the newest version (1.6) of "Raspberry Pi Imager" it is possible to
set hostname, ssh access, configure wifi and set locale before flashing
directly inside the program. You can set this to be only for this flash
or save it for later flashes. This is available when pressing
Shift-CTRL-X.
Also you can set that the media should not be ejected after flashing.

But I don't know if all this will work with a piCorePlayer image.

Yes, it does. You can also mount the downloaded PcP image and add the
-wpa_supplement.conf- before writing it to SD. (as an added bonus you
only have to do that once if you're installing multiple Pi's.)

Yes, I think so. As all my piCorePlayer Pi are using cables, I didn't
thought about this. :-)
You can also use the "Festplattendienstprogramm" (don't know the English
name of it) to remount the card without pulling it out and putting it
in.

Yeah, it probably needs a bit of a rewrite.

Setup instructions are now completely wrong.

Setup was rewritten for pCP7.0.0 with wifi now leveraging code from pCP
GUI.

I have a feeling "setup" is not used very often, nobody has commented on
it for years.

Thanks for bringing into focus.

Just in passing, I’ve found page
https://docs.picoreplayer.org/how-to/setup_wifi_on_pcp_without_ethernet/
quite confusing.


- The “maintained by PCP” and “maintained by the user” methods are
  contrasted in title, but differ only in the use of special characters
  in strings...
  That’s not 2 methods, that is one, with the limitation that files
  with special characters can’t be updated via the GUI.
  
- Also I would rather spell “maintained by pCP” as “can be updated
  via the web GUI”.
  
- I assume the option to run “setup” with a console and keyboard
  works most of the time. Otherwise don’t document it. 
  And in this case, I would make that the first method, on top of the
  page, as it is clearly easier than writing a config file.

The free burning utility Etcher. Main page is 'here'

There are downloads for Windows and Linux also, although I have not

It should only be used when you log into pCP via the console or via ssh.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer Documentation

2021-02-14 Thread P Nelson


Thank you for adding information on SD cards for PiCore, that will be
helpful for people deciding what to buy.  

I have been looking at the various settings and saw the Security button
on the PiCore main page.  It is using the default Id and password.  I am
curious, when is the id and password used?  When I connect to PiCore
from my internal LAN, it never asks for a user id and password.  

For cyber security best practices, I should probably change it from the
default.  However, I would like to know when that id and password is
required.

However, after the Solarwinds issue, I hope the various code elements
used for updates are frequently checked for stuff that does not belong. 
I would not want my Pi to become a botnet for someone wanting to mine
bitcoin or snooping for identity theft. 

Thanks for the wonderful software!

Paul

This part at the beginning:

Code:

  else:

There's two different questions though:
1/ What parts to buy? (my impression is that everybody on the boards
here has built something different, using different parts)
2/ Where to buy it? (depends on your location, although I find you can
also source a lot directly from the manufacturers.)

My personal experience is that one tends to buy the wrong stuff first
time round, but then you learn as you go. :o

hi gvh,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I have been recently been adding a bit more info on part selection - see
"'Raspberry Pi'
(https://docs.picoreplayer.org/components/raspberry_pi/)" and "'SD card'
(https://docs.picoreplayer.org/components/sd_card/)".

Also I have added a "hardware used" in Projects like "'Build a simple
LMS server'
(https://docs.picoreplayer.org/projects/build-simple-lms-server/)" to
make it a sort of recipe.

The problem with recommending suppliers is where I buy here in Australia
is not suitable for buying from the US or Europe. Postage costs,
currency conversions and duties make a big difference.

I did add a little bit more info on the "Projects" page a couple of days
ago about "What a project is".

We should add your SmartPi Touch Pro project as a project! Pull down the
source from git, load Hugo and give it a go.

regards
Greg

That gives an invalid path error, but if I use the ip of the router

Okay.  One problem solved.  Thank you. 

I am still unsure of the other settings.  This works from my linux

Code:

but when I do it from a ssh session on the RPi, I get


Code:

 mount: /mnt/media: bad option; for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) 
you might need a /sbin/mount. helper program.
  




However, if I look at `dmesg`, I see

but issuing the command, 

Code:


  sudo mount -v -t cifs -o vers=1.0,usenamer=guest //192.168.0.1/R_Drive 
/mnt/media
  



gives the same error at the terminal and in dmesg.

I'm assuming there's a cifs module that needs to be loaded, but what

Any further help would be appreciated.

I could use some trouble shooting mounting a network drive.

Specifically, I've got a USB drive attached to my router (Netgear C6220)
that, I believe, uses SAMBA.  Here's a photo of the set up.

33179

Based on the name, I'm figuring it's a SAMBA server.  Does this seem
correct?

I can visit the drive using my browser.  For example,

33177

As a result, I'm using the following settings within the pCp settings

33178

However, if I ssh into the player and go to /mnt/media there's nothing
mounted, even after a reboot.

I suspect I'm missing something simple, but don't know what it is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Greg

Not necessarily. It was my impression that the Docker containers support
ARM & Raspberry Pi, so I though "maybe" ... and maybe I'm wrong but it
was my impression that LMS is now supported officially through a docker
container, on the other hand I'm not aware if this will become the only
way, or not.

Cheers,
Claus

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer Documentation

2021-01-18 Thread Paul Webster


A suggestion for simplifying some of the steps in documentation.

Where the steps require creation of a single line file (like in the
recent one to handle plugging in a USB audio device) you can make it
into a one line for copy/paste rather than having to open and editor and
having to write all of the commands to save/exit or even installation of
nano.

For example Step 2 in the recent set changes from:

Code:

Step 2
  Type sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/10-DAC.rules and paste this string:
  
  
  SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="", 
ATTR{idProduct}=="", RUN+="/home/tc/DAC.sh"
  
  where  and  are what you found in the previous step.
  
  Press control o to save and control x to exit.
  



to:

Code:

Copy this string:
  echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="", 
ATTR{idProduct}=="", RUN+="/home/tc/DAC.sh"' | sudo tee 
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-DAC.rules
  and replace  and  are what you found in the previous step
  then enter it into your ssh session.
  



The single quote around the string is needed because of the double
quotes in the expression. If there was a real single quote in the
expression then I expect it would have to be escaped with \'

A way could be to execute my script every time an USB device Is plug-in.
Is not a problem because the script checks the status of squeezelite and
if It Is already on, nothing will happen. The solution Is to remove the
two attrib strings in udev rule (Idvendor and idproduct) and replace
them with this: ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device"
In this way the script Will run everytime each USB device Is plug-in
(USB PEN drive, mouse USB, dac USB etc).
It Is less elegant but It Is "generic"

generic solution.

In some of the udev.rules there is already some product specific code.
The potential work to do USB properly is enormous!

I think?? this problem only occurs if the RPi and DAC are powered
independently.

I have learnt/remembered that manually using squeezelite init.d script
can create situations where the squeezelite process is running without
the appropriate pid file and visa versa. This causes confusion during
testing. I recall now why I included "force" option to brutally kill
squeezelite.

I have been doing my testing on a synced piCorePlayer. Its weird seeing
the consequences of inserting a USB device in one piCorePlayer has on

I only have two additions:

And I would not make a "chmod 777 /home/tc/dac.sh", a 755 would be

I set up a Pi4/4GB with pCP 6.1.0 Standard Version.

Working my way through nowhinjing's how-to.

To resize the file system it says go to Main page > *Advanced Mode
Operations*, this is now *Additional Functions* in the more recent UI.

Why resize to a mere 1000MB? and a *Danger* "If you have a large library
select “Use 2000 MB” or “Whole SD card”. *In my opinion* 2000MB should
be the absolute minimum, I use the whole card if it's a 8 or 16 GB card.

Installed LMS then on to set up SAMBA.

As Redrum points out in his post above, if you don't enter anything in
the Server Workgroup, when you click the "Set Shares" button you get a
pop-up to tell you to "fill out this field", and cannot proceed unless
you enter something.

@nowhinjing makes no mention of a "Workgroup" anywhere in his how-to, so
we can only assume that the need to enter anything in that field came
with a pCP version change?

If you take the trouble to find your Windows workgroup name and enter
that (mine's WORKGROUP), then your pCP will appear under "Network" in
Windows/File Explorer. I named mine NickyNook in pCP.

32635

32637


If you enter anything else other than your Windows workgroup name (I
entered MARTINMACBULGEPIKE), then your pCP *will not* appear under
"Network" in Windows/File Explorer.

32638

But you can still follow nowhinjin's instruction to "Add a network
location", and then be able to access the attached USB drive/stick using
Windows/File Explorer.

Yes, I know, but I thought I would go through the how-to as if I were a
newcomer to pCP. :)

you don't have to start from scratch. Just remove your workgroup name
and apply "set shares"

Note that I am currently 6.0 on this system. Like I have said, I didn't
see this in 4 and went right from 4 to 6, so not sure when it became a
required field.

Excellent, possibly, but way out of date, it doesn't even use the more
recent user interface. :(

Memo to self - tomorrow's job -  set up an LMS server from scratch and
determine whether the Workgroup field needs populating. :confused:

RE: Server WorkGroup

This excellent "Add a USB hard drive and setup SAMBA" how to was written
by "nowhinjing" and I don't like doing *too much* editing of other
people's work.

I have not used SAMBA ever, well I do recall something from the
Wollongong Group last century, so I don't know SAMBA at all.

I know nowhinjing was very particular with details, so I would guess it
worked for him at the time with the version of software he used, or
maybe everything defaulted properly at the time.

I hope this discussion will result in a definitive answer.

Hopefully nowhinjing will jump in.

First, a thank you to Gary for posting this issue.  (I am the one that
posted the issue in another forum.)

I am impressed on how quickly it was resolved.

There is one other issue that needs some attention.  It is the Server
Workgroup field in the Samba set-up instructions.  The instructions do
not mention any entry is required, but when I went to set-up Samba, it
would not let me save it until something was entered into the field. 
What should be entered into the field?  I entered piworkgroup, but
others used WORKGROUP.  I am not sure what this field does.

Thanks for creating piCorePlayer.  I was concerned I may not be able to
set it up properly as I know nothing about linux, but the instructions
are very detailed, except for that Server Workgroup field.  This is
going to help manage my music library.  A donation will be forthcoming
very soon.

thank you again!

Paul

I think this tripped me up (was required) when building a 6.1 and I
hadn't seen it required on 4.0. I found somewhere on this forum to enter
"none" which is what I did. Sorry my memory is a bit fuzzy...

People are saying the the "Server WorkGroup" field *must be populated*,
is this correct? I see no reference to this in the how to - SAMBA.

Sorry garym,

I should have posted something when I fixed the typo as soon as I saw
the request last night, it would have saved others some effort. :(

See "'Add a USB hard drive and setup SAMBA'
(https://docs.picoreplayer.org/how-to/add_usb_hdd/)".
