Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Is piCore what I need? Help!
I have piCorePlayer running with a hifiberry, running headless. I couldn't be more pleased. Donation shortly. I do have some questions. I'd like to write a custom GUI app that runs on the pi. Before I slap something together with python/tkinter, I'd like to make sure there's no tricks involved in getting a GUI displayed on screen. And maybe plug in a mouse... Is all that doable? Is there a how-to somewhere for adding custom code? Also, a question about squeezelite. You can set the MAC in it, but it deliberately prevents you from using MAC addresses in the range used by classics. I get it; you don't want to collide with existing hardware. But in my case I wanted to use the pi as a drop-in replacement for a dead classic, which should have meant cloning the classic's MAC. It would be nice if it could give you a warning but then allow MACs in that range to be used. Feasible?

I have lots of testing to do but at least I have a solution. I will try putting up the standard LMS and seeing how it gets around the timeout (since I doubt it sends volume commands over and over), thanks. Next up is getting audio off the awful 3.5mm jack. For my main stereo I need optical (TOSlink) output. (Don't need a DAC, in other words). A cheap soundcard I have has an optical out but only has 16 bit depth, and it doesn't sound good. What's my best bet for getting TOSlink out from a pi at 24-bit depth? (Having the additional option of DAC and stareo analog outputs wouldn't be a bad thing.) The other systems do need a DAC and RCA outputs, but my need for high fidelity isn't quite as extreme. Have people been happy with HIFIBERRY DAC+ offering?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Is piCore what I need? Help!
So I've set up a Raspberry pi with PiCore, and it boots fine and offers a web page, which I was able to use to configure SqueezeLite to talk to my custom squeeze server. Kudos, this seems like a well-thought-out web interface. I wasn't shocked to discover SqueezeLite and my server don't agree on the slim protocol - my server was written for version 81 of the squeezebox software, years ago, and of course things have changed. The first obstacle is that squeezelite expects to see a command sent to it from the server every ~30 seconds, or it disconnects. My server doesn't send anything periodically (and the original Classic was fine with that); and it's not obvious what I should send - I could do a hack like sending the volume over and over, but that can't be what's intended. The squeezelite code isn't particularly commented. I can slowly slog through the trial and error of "just keep trying stuff" but I'm hoping I can approach this more cleverly. What I probably need is the ability to contact the author and pester him with questions, but I don't know how. What's my best resource for figuring out what I need to change? My goal is to change only my server. I haven't found (helpful) documentation; does anyone have experience with the slim protocol? If I should be asking somewhere else, where? Any help welcome.

That gets used in all sorts of ways, everything from date/time/weather to, of course, navigating the song catalog. It's not my preferred way to pick songs - I have a separate GUI that runs on my laptop for that - but it's how my wife picks songs, adjusts volume, etc. So I will need to implement that. Since it doesn't look like squeezelite implements the grfe command, I'll just write something to run on the pi, send it those messages, and handle the display separately. Since any display I plug into the pi will have more available pixels than the classic did, it;'s a chance to display extra information anyway.

I know of an implementation of LCD display with Squeezelite (using -L parameter to invoke) but it is based on an old Squeezelite version. If there is a "Ralphy" way of driving LCD then I would be interested because I could stop my messing around with Slimmer.

This is what the IRBlaster plugin uses, for example. One can work around this by listening to server events and configuring the commands on the client (e.g. using 'my little python daemon' (https://github.com/mundschenk-at/squeezebox-ir-events), or something similar). pputzer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110960 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Is piCore what I need? Help!
I think the main problem would be the display. The Pcp player, jivelite, Squeezplayer etc. do not support the VFD display commands. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110960 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

On the other hand, if piCorePlayer is accepting logitech's original commend set, or something like it, I could adapt my server to send and receive what piCorePlayer likes. You mentioned IR. Which makes me wonder whether you implemented a UI, too? Or how else would you use the IR remote? Because pCP does NOT implement the Classic's UI commands. That's part of the player protocol. But squeezelite doesn't support displays. Simple playback commands should not have changed though. Why don't you fire up one of your Pis with pCP and give it a try? -- Michael ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Just to help clarify. piCorePlayer is just a linux OS with a html interface for configuring tools. Squeezelite is the full feature player that most are using now days. It supports most modern audio formats. You can use squeezelite on many many platforms. Source code for squeezelite is here. https://github.com/ralph-irving/squeezelite.

My problem wouldn't be with LMS's stability at this point - it's just that all the software in the house talks to my custom server using a custom protocol that LMS doesn't know. I'm tied to that protocol in a dozen applications. Using LMS is not an option for me. On the other hand, if piCorePlayer is accepting logitech's original commend set, or something like it, I could adapt my server to send and receive what piCorePlayer likes. For example, I just traced through my code to where it sends an strm command to the classic, with a 2 byte prefix for the length and an HTTP-like payload, and then waits for the classic to connect back, etc... it's moderately complex, and dates back to sdqueezebox classic version 81, but if that's what priCoreplayer is still expecting, or something close, I can adapt. There must be documentation on the exact protocol piCorePlayer receives and sends back - someone presumably did the reverse engineering I did years ago, with the newer server. Can you point me to the documentation of what piCorePlayer expects? I'll know in short order if I can adapt my code to it. TIA.

pCP runs squeezelite software player, which is fully up to date with the current protocol. I think youll need to be more specific as to the bugs you had, but lms is quite stable. We also run Jivelite, which is fully compatible with the RPI official 7 display, ir remotes are supported. If you want to try, just use pCP and install lms on a RPi and give it a spin. I think you will be surprised as to where the eco system s today. As for audio outputs, there are many soundcard options available to bolt onto a rpi. piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.
