Any more clues on this? Are the relevant MS files differently named in

See Settings/Information for where the prefs are stored.


You need to create a folder named "material-skin/css" *within* your
prefs folder - e.g. /usr/local/lms/prefs/material-skin/css Then you
place your CSS file (named "desktop.css" or "mobile.css") within that
folder.

Reboot the Pi
After power comes on the NAS needs to be fully active before the Pi
boots up in order to accept the mount. 
If the NAS is up and responding properly now a reboot of the Pi will
probably fix

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Picore - Squeezelite 32 bit length padding

2021-08-06 Thread oshcar


hello

I have a couple questions if someone more knowledgeable could help :

regarding ALSA settings - sample format (f) --- is there a value so that
the ALSA output is the same as the source input -- for example 16bit
input = 16bit output and 24bit input = 24bit output without having to
manually change format settings ?

maybe related

i read in some documentation that when using SOX, picore hands of the
data to sox internally as 32bit --- does this mean that all source
inputs to picore are padded up to 32bit internally, regardless whether
using sox or not, and passed of to ALSA as 32bit ?

if this is the case, can this be tweaked easily ?

maybe inject some code through SSH to either use either source format,
24bit, or 32 bit ?

then the same type of command for ALSA format --- use whatever format
being passed to it ?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] ppc LMS does not scan

2021-08-06 Thread Mercenary


Hi all,
I recently had to install a new router and reconfigure my network.
Since that time I am having continuous problems with pcp. 

I am running pcp on a Pi and the music library is hosted on a Synology
Diskstation.
Mount points did not change. I have added the new pcp IP to the list of
allowed clients for the shared folder and sometimes the scanning works
but then again it just starts and stops with the entire process after  a
few seconds, pretending that everything is good and the scan complete.
Only that it did not discover a single MP3.

Any idea what is happening here and how to resolve it?

Thanks,

Merc

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Last.fm scrobbling from LMS with no Internet

Also … with the Pu connected to the phone … where the phone is acting as
WAP … then it should be possible to get the time by running the
getTime.sh script … 

So maybe a background script that checks every few minutes to see if the
current date is less than 2021 then try to get the time if internet is
up … then exits.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Last.fm scrobbling from LMS with no Internet

2021-08-06 Thread Paul Webster

The scrobble includes the date / time that the track was played (rather
than last.fm applying the “current” time to them … and last.fm does not
accept scribbles for lays that are more than a few weeks old … and yours
would probably be from 1970 if the time is not set.
Maybe the pCP web interface could be extended to include a field for the
user to enter the current date/time … 

A shutdown script that saved the current time to a file and then used it
to set the new time on boot when there is no internet would at least
make the scribbles appear in an ascending recent time.
So then you would be able to see what you listened to on holiday but not
exactly when.

I did comment before that I can only see a real use case on Android
devices. If you are using Material on a PC whatever OS then the
likelihood is that you have full access to the file store anyway. 
Someone then said what about when you are accessing remotely via PC but
I don’t see why you wouldn’t still have access to the file store as
you’d be using a VPN or should be.
On that basis I think the value of being able to download is limited to
Android devices only. Just my 2p.
Yes definitely remove it from iOS if you can

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Ifi Zen Dac V2 no DSD with Squeezelite?

2021-08-06 Thread Obiit


Okay then.

After much playing and reading i have come to the conclusion the new and
shiney is not always the way to go :(

I have run the Zen DAC V2 on Windows, MacOS and Linux with a variety of
results.  Windows is best, MacOS is okay and poor Linux is the worst. 
This i think is purely down to it having the latest 16x XMOS chip.

I have read reviews where Roon thinks it's a Technics device and i've
read forums that iFi know they have to update the Firmware.  From what i
have read they will probably be writing a limoncello firmware for it
(like they have for all the other devices in thier range).  This tweaked
DoP256 and sorted out clicking so it may sort out it's compatibility
with Linux!?

I only use the DSD format as thats what i ripped my SACD's to and i like
to have playback as native as possible. Looks like this won't be the
case and i will have to convert them again to 24bit/88.2kHz flac. I only
have about 20 odd so no big deal.

Just thought i would feed back my findings!

Cheers

Probably can, even from my Android, but guess I'd need to do that every
time the Pi boots, and really just want to turn it on and play the music
with the least amount of effort whilst on the mini-cruise.

Guess I'm just reaching the limitations of using the Pi/pCP as a

signal available.

I've managed to successfully enable WAP in my pCP, connect my Android to
the Pi's Wi-Fi signal and control it from the pCP web interface and
Squeeze Ctrl - although pCP never seems to remember the Bluetooth
speaker that was last used, so there's a bit of delving about in the web
interface to connect it again after a reboot.

One question: 'this thread'
(https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pc-based/275586-picoreplayer-picore-linux-raspberry-pi-squeezelite-post6326746.html)
suggests LMS needs the time to be set.  Looking at the code on the
screen when booting the Pi in WAP mode, it shows it can't find the time
- would this mean Scrobbling doesn't function when pCP is in WAP mode?

Is there anyway to enable this?  Was wondering if I somehow tethered the
Pi to the phone, perhaps the phone's connection could supply the time -
but can't see how this can be achieved if the phone has no external
Wi-Fi of its own?  For context, I'm going on a mini-cruise shortly, so
there'll likely be no Wi-Fi or mobile data signal in the phone it could
tether to, but I'd like to be able to use my pCP (in Flirc case) and 2TB
HD as a portable music server and still be able to record its Scrobbles
for uploading when it next has a "proper" Internet connection.

Cheers

Andy
