[slim] Building the best Pi LMS Player
Hi all I decided to start a new thread as the original thread *preparing for the demise of my transporter* was suffering from thread drift :-) I'm basically trying to put together a shopping list to build the best quality player I can using the Pi as the base - here is my first pass at a shopping list 1) Pi version 2 2) Official 7" touch screen 3) Official Screen case ( is there one ? ) 3) Dac pro sound card ( is this the best there is ? ) 4) piCorePlayer What I need is confirmation that all these pieces will fit into one case and if they will - what case do I need and do all these parts come with all the screws and what have you to complete the build process in one go? Hope I'm not asking too much :-) We can't stop here this is bat country.

[slim] streaming to Squeezebox
So I'm wondering if there is a way of taking music that is streaming to an iPad (NOT stuff that is stored on the iPad) or a Mac (perhaps iPad preferred) and sending it to my Squeezebox. Why do I want to do this? Well, my SB is the only piece of equipment I have that can provide sound through my stereo system with source on a computer or iPad. Until the changes in the BBC earlier in the year, I was able to use their Listen Again with no problems, and it was a major source for me. But since then, whether using BBC iPlayer or BBC iPlayer Extra, it is just unreliable. I have the latest version of the plugins and the new parser, but it doesn't help. Between the BBC and my ISP, I can count on half or more of the things I want to listen to being interrupted. So I am looking for other methods that don't involve new hardware. Something like Nicecast on my computer might work, but I suspect there are better options. danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104630 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Building the best Pi LMS Player
There is no "the" best PI LMS Player:p If you want to go the Touch Way - the official 7" Display is your route. If you want to go the Transporter / 43 cm Way - these "official" / Inoffical cases are to light and small. A RPI 2 is overkill for a Player only setup - a b+ should do it (mines are underclocked) A RPI Player thats worth to called the best one always had to be some diy hours in it to match your wishes - otherwise its just one of the best :cool: Gruss Jan DJanGo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1516 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104628 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Danco, a few more details of your set-up may help in regard to the streaming. It seems to me that perhaps some network optimisation may help. I know that you say that you don't want new hardware, but an rpi B2 with LMS on would make for a reliable low cost (hide it away) solution.

If the local server streaming (i.e.: from files on the computer to the SBT is fine, without drop-outs, then indeed it would suggest that the web interconnect is somehow faulty. It might pay to try and resolve these issues first, as any change or alteration to your set-up will not show any benefit if the web streaming is flaky. Easy things to look at are wireless channel usage (any neighbour overlapping your channel?) If speed is not important ,stay with the b/g group. Reposition the router (put it high if possible). You can try these things without too much disruption. Also use something like speedtest dot net to get an aggregate of your download speeds, perhaps the ISP is throttling at peak usage periods.

Re: [slim] streaming to Squeezebox
Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, never had any errors with local streaming. And I'm using Devolo Homeplug, not wireless. Network Diagnostics does show the ISP traffic light turn from green to red sometimes, and then back to green in a short or long time (never any need to reboot router/modem). ShairTunes seems to be working for playing local music on my iPad to my Squeezebox. I had a few problems, but I think they were my own misunderstanding. Doesn't seem to work with the BBC iPlayer Radio app on the iPad, though, as I don't think that allows Airplay and so does not allow ShairTunes. Just for the record, using iPlayer Radio on iPad got me a half-hour program with no dropouts. Could be luck, but I suspect that this holds on to the stream better than the iPlayer (and Extra) plugins for LMS. danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104630 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] streaming to Squeezebox
I'd suggest having a look at the shairtunes2 plugin from disaster123. That will make SBes to AirPlay devices. karlek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64321 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104630 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

There could be local issues as I am using Devolo Homeplug, but everything (including drops in general web browsing) suggests that the connection there is dropping and restarting enough to ruin iPlayer since the BBC changes. I've tried, as an experiment, moving my laptop close to the router (not convenient for regular use) and changing to wifi with no improvement. I am using a 2013 MacBook Pro, and have tried a couple of routers. Once I start going the hardware route, I would want to consider ethernet cabling between router and computer (unfortunately they are and have to be in different rooms). danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104630 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Building the best Pi LMS Player
I've just set up a Pi2-IQAudioDAC+ with a 7" touch screen. I've used the 'perspex frame mount for the screen' (https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-7-touchscreen-display-with-frame?variant=6338094529), and I plan to use a 'Pibow-Audio case' (https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/pibow-audio?variant=5472074753) to house the Pi2-IQAudioDAC+, though I await the Pibow-Audio case to figure out how to attach it to the back of the screen!
