Thanks. Great info and much appreciated.

The unit showed up today and was a breeze to set up and get running at a
basic level. The device requires an app on my phone. The app is available
for Android and Apple but not available for the Amazon Fire tablet.

I was able to stream Internet Radio immediately. I then transferred
about 20% of my CD collection FLAC files to a flash drive and they play
fine and sound great. I am currently using the audio output on the unit but
will be testing my Schitt Modi DAC over the weekend, along with attempting
to connect to Plex.

One small problem I ran into is the unused flash drive I had in the flash
drive box had a default FAT filesystem on it and the FLAC library, ripped
mostly with k3b but also a little abcde, has characters in names that
aren't supported so I had some complaints getting things copied. I will say
that a big flash drive might be a great solution to not having to turn the
server on and having media available 24/7.

Cheers,
Mark

For what it's worth I've been using gerbera for years, it'll pass-through 
supported videos/codecs or you can set it up to transcode.   Highly recommend

The Cambridge Audio MXN10 which is arriving today. Good reviews but I've
never listened to it so that will be interesting. I'll be using an older
NAD pre
and power amp and a pair of Theil 1.2's. I'll start without my old
subwoofer
and see what it's like but the 1.2's aren't the greatest at low-end so I'll
add the SW if necessary.

I'd like to start with my ripped CD content but for about $10/month it will
stream from Tidal and a few other sources so if I have any trouble serving
content then I'll get a Tidal subscription.

I'll report back on the Plex side as it goes as well as any other servers I
try out. I'm sorta leaning toward Gerbera for it's simplicity and clean
looking interface but it comes down to how the server works with the
C.A. StreamMagic app as this streamer has no front panel controls.

Thanks for the info.

Cheers,
Mark

I never got the Plex app for Roku to work in a usable manner (and I
think it eventually got discontinued?).  The Plex app in Kodi has
always worked fine for me (though I haven't used it for probably about
a year).  Plex also worked with other DLNA clients I've tried (Kodi, VLC).

Re: [gentoo-user] mirrorselect build failed

2024-05-24 Thread Michael
Jude, the initial CFLAGS I suggested are safe, but suboptimal.  They do not 
tune your system's compiler to utilise all of your CPU's instructions.

In the first instance, you should set the CFLAGS as appropriate for your PC 
and specifically include -march=native, as suggested by Waldo.  Please check 
this chapter in the Gentoo Handbook:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/
Stage#Configuring_compile_options

Also, add the appropriate CPU USE flags either in CPU_FLAGS_X86="..." in your 
/etc/portage/make.conf, or in /etc/portage/package.use/00cpuflags.  You can 
install and run cpuid2cpuflags to print out your CPU's USE flags - e.g.:

mkdir /etc/portage/package.use   # if not set up yet
echo "*/* $(cpuid2cpuflags)" > /etc/portage/package.use/00cpuflags

Then you can proceed with the steps in the Handbook to install your system.

The download of binary packages is a more recent choice offered by Gentoo and 
can save time as opposed to compiling everything from source on your system.  
Previously posted links explain how to configure your system to set up and use 
a gentoo binhost.

If there is a /binpackages/ subdirectory on the mirror it will contain the 
precompiled binary packages and given you are running a modern CPU, you should 
set /x86-64-v3 in your binrepos.conf.

HTH.

The archive is compressed with xz, which in later versions can run in a 
multithreaded fashion.  I don't know if emerge calls upon it to operate with 
multiple threads (e.g. xz --threads 0 foo.xz).

PS. The bzip2 is single threaded and a slow compressor to boot, but pbzip2 is 
multithreaded.

I have not used a Plex Media Server or any of its client apps.  I have used 
Kodi and also MiniDLNA (now ReadyMedia).

Kodi is a very feature rich HTC and would be my go to system for both audio 
and video.  The only problem I found is it can take some manual configuration 
to sort out your own audio file libraries, with preferred thumbnails, etc.  
Ripped CDs do not have this problem, as they will fetch artwork from online 
databases:

https://kodi.wiki/view/Artwork/Cache

It is worth mentioning you should keep a backup of your configuration 
settings, in case things go sideways at any stage:

https://kodi.wiki/view/Kodi_data_folder

The MiniDLNA is a very simple and reliable server I use to serve video/audio/
photos to TVs.  It has an also simple /etc/minidlna.conf file, it'll take you 
=<2 minutes to edit with the path to your media files. The gotchas here are 
more pertinent to the video/audio codec limitations of the TV DLNA clients, 
rather than the server.  The server will stream whatever file the client asks 
for over the DLNA protocol.

HTH.

It could be; the .tar.xz file is 288MB - but I didn't think bzip2 was 
multithreaded*. I tried to check by rerunning the emerge, but it found a 
Gentoo binary and went to fetch that.

*  And app-alternatives/bzip2 has installed bzip2.

You're right, those are the settings the binary packages have been built with 
- my mistake, sorry!

The CFLAGS on the client should/could be tuned to its own CPU with "-
march=native". The "... speeding up of the OS installation" I had mentioned 
referred to downloading the binaries, rather than having to build them 
locally.

Anyway, the CFLAGS Jude posted are incorrect:

CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -native"

and his CPU_FLAGS_X86 are incomplete:

CPU_FLAGS_X86="mmx mmxext sse sse2"

Your links should hopefully help Jude to set the correct settings for this

Re: [gentoo-user] mirrorselect build failed

2024-05-24 Thread Waldo Lemmer
Hi Michael,

-march=x86-64 and -mtune=generic will not speed up your OS installation.
These flags tell compilers to produce binaries that can run on any AMD64
system and that aren't optimized for your specific system.

These flags have no effect on binary packages, since those have already
been compiled.

If you want to speed up packages you compile yourself, you should use
-march=native. This is all well documented at
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GCC_optimization.

In order to use binary packages that have been optimized for more modern
systems, see https://www.gentoo.org/news/2024/02/04/x86-64-v3.html.

Waldo

Hi Jude,

If you intend to use Gentoo's precompiled binary packages, to speed up your OS 
installation, you should have 'generic' CFLAGS; e.g.:

CFLAGS="-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe"
