First of all, many thanks to Triode for the great work, I really appreciate. I was using CSOS since a while, and wanted to try SOA as Substitute. Getting to the reason I reply to Bobs post, I finally got brutefirDRC working today, after a week of trying, I finally figured out what was wrong. I was getting the same Errors as Bob. I am using BrutefirDRC plugin V. 4.1beta from sourceforge, installed following the instructions from Klaas on "http://klaasreineke.tumblr.com/brutefirdrc I installed brutefir with "yaourt -S brutefir", to install also the dependencies, like jack and the fft libraries. (I had to add the line arch=('armv7h') to PCKBUILD), this installs V 1.0k Then I have downloaded the source tarball of V 1.0m from the link on the author's Homepage "http://www.ludd.luth.se/~torger/brutefir.html#download"; I then built the binaries and put them in the usr/bin for the main binary and usr/lib/brutefir for the modules. I was almost giving up, when I noticed some python Errors when I tried to run the wrapper script from command line. I earlier installed python with "pacman -S python" which resulted in a python 3.4.1.1 Installation, on which the wrapper does not work. It requires a 2.x python Version I solved this, first removing the v 3 package, then installing Version 2.7 with "pacman -S python2", and finally I created a simlink python to the executable python2.7 in /usr/bin (I do not have other python scripts in use, and did therefore not care to Keep V3 compatibility) I also did not get the error logs at the beginning, so I changed line 561 of the "brutefirwrapper" script to set the log file Location I wanted: " reopen_stderr_as_log('/opt/logitechmediaserver/Logs/brutefir.log') " By the way, on my Installation the "INFO" type plugin log Messages appear in the Journal, and not in a log file. I would also like to give some feedback on the SOA installation and share my experience with other add-ons I installed: The install script worked great, although I had some trouble at the beginning, with my DHCP Server taking too much time to assign an address, which caused a timeout and the board was not accessible over Ethernet, I solved this by editing /etc/netctl/eth0 and increasing the timeout values to 150. (I edited with the terminal over the Serial Connection). I updated everything, including custom kernel, and installed LMS 7.9. Everything works fine, I can confirm that the optical Toslink Outputs 96 kbit with 24 bit Resolution with the custom kernel (native and upsampled with SOX). I also can confirm that reboot behavior is different on different wandboards, I have two WB quad, one brand new and one approx.1 ½ years old, the new one reboots as expected, the older requires a power cycle. I then installed ShairTunes plugin (only Trouble, avahi daemon was not running, thus the devices were not visible in Airplay, I enabled it with systemctl) (I am not shure anymore if avahi package was present at all?). Then I installed waveinput plugin, this one works but I am still struggling with alsa configuration, both usb soundcards (miniSTREAMER and USBStreamer form Minidsp) I would like to use do not yet work. miniSTREAMER does not allow for 24 bit Resolution capture (althoug it should, but there seems to be a usb bandwidth Reservation issue I am not able to fully understand), and with USBstreamer I did not yet figure out how to Access the PCMs form the Toslink Input, located on channels 9 and 10 of the device, I will try to get further using jack, when I will have time to get deeper into ist configuration. I hope that my experience can help some other user. Again many thanks for the awesome work you are doing, Kind regards Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mimax's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4694 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101624
