Yes, as I rip to a single WAV file per album browsing through Music Folder is next to useless, it only shows the single cue and wav FILE. I have always thought to power of LMS was the database it generates. If you only want to browse through the Music Folder there are much simpler audio solutions available that don't have the database overhead.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Picore and Cron
In piCore/piCorePlayer cron is not started by default. Using the pCP [Tweaks] page, when you click the [Save] button it will add the appropriate cron bootcode to enable cron. You could use the "bootcode" page if you are familiar with that. The "Cron" option on the [Tweaks] page only offers 3 of the fields to the user but writes 5 fields in the crontab file. The minute field is always set to "0" and the month field always is set to "*". The order of the fields on the cron [Tweaks] page is not the same as the cron command. Under the more/less help: - the example refers to the 3 input fields above it - then the actual root crontab file is displayed. This is obviously "real" cron syntax. The custom cron command field is expecting the standard cron syntax.

FYI: For each version of pCP, there are 2 or 3 versions of the repository for single core, quad core and 32bit/64bit and each repository has over 500 extensions or links to extensions.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Material Skin
The MAC address is usually hard coded in the network device, Ethernet, Wifi or Bluetooth. The first 6 digit will be registered to the Raspberry Pi Foundation. If you are using a USB Wifi adapter the MAC address will be registered to the device manufacture. This nearly unique MAC address can be overwritten in software. In pCP Squeezelite Settings, there is an option to overwrite the MAC address although it is not recommended.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Trying to use GPIO Switches on the Tweaks Page of PiCorePlayer ....................
The power/earth pins are not GPIO's. They are fixed at 5V, 3.3V or 0V and can't be turned on and off. The GPIO's can be turned off and on but don't have much current capacity so extra circuitry is usually required. Usually a transistor and a resistor or 2. This solution will typically have 3 connections, one to 3.3V, one to 0V and one to a GPIO. The GPIO usually connects to the base of the transistor which works like a switch. So once you decide on your circuitry and pick the GPIO you need to load the gpio-fan overlay. This will turn your fan on if it gets hot. Code: Name: gpio-fan Info: Configure a GPIO pin to control a cooling fan. Load: dtoverlay=gpio-fan,= Params: gpiopin GPIO used to control the fan (default 12) tempTemperature at which the fan switches on, in millicelcius (default 55000) Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112946 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Trying to use GPIO Switches on the Tweaks Page of PiCorePlayer ....................
Remember when connecting devices directly to GPIO's you need to keep in mind the current draw. The power and earth pins have higher current capacity than the GPIO's. Normally for motors, you would connect a transistor to the GPIO that switches the power to the motor.

The [Boot] page shows the order that processes are run. So User commands (in do_rebootstuff.sh) are run after settime/getTime. But I just realised, the response from crond showing the time has been set comes up 10 or 15 seconds after the "Setup piCorePlayer complete". I do see on the odd occasion the time displayed on the web interface showing epoch instead of the correct time. I have assumed this is due to the fact that we can fire up the web interface before the ntp has completed setting the time. A refresh shows the correct date. Some of the startup commands are backgrounded, so commands can sometimes run before others have completed. Code: /usr/sbin/ntpd -q -p pool.ntp.org This is the standard command to set the time (maybe with sudo). Maybe a wait 5; before the openvpn command. If you like scripting, a wait loop checking that the time is not epoch before proceeding. I am just trying to eliminate one download and a extra command.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Jivelite VU and Spectrum Analyser displays
Hi Jeff07971, I can't fix it but just in case it helps someone I'll post my findings. jivelite - VUMeter.lua Code: function draw(self, surface) if self.style == "vumeter" then self.bgImg:blit(surface, self:getBounds()) end local sampleAcc = vis:vumeter() local volume = self.player:getVolume() _drawMeter(self, surface, sampleAcc, 1, self.x1, self.y, self.w, self.h) _drawMeter(self, surface, sampleAcc, 2, self.x2, self.y, self.w, self.h) end touch - VUMeter.lua Code: function draw(self, surface) if self.style == "vumeter" then self.bgImg:blit(surface, self:getBounds()) end local sampleAcc = decode:vumeter() _drawMeter(self, surface, sampleAcc, 1, self.x1, self.y, self.w, self.h) _drawMeter(self, surface, sampleAcc, 2, self.x2, self.y, self.w, self.h) end Extra line looks interesting? regards Greg Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104486 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I somehow missed you were using a camera for motion detection. I was interested if those simple motion detectors caused any issues to the sound on the Raspberry Pi. I think you will find using a cheap i2s DAC will give you similar performance to "real" Squeezeboxes. I find "Audio out" OK for testing purposes, and a USB to headphone DAC ($5) gives better results. It might be a volume thing though. On the newer Raspberry Pi's there was white noise issue that was resolved in software. I am using the first generation Raspberry Pi successfully as a Squeezerserver, with 3 provisos, don't use the web interface, don't rescan everyday and don't resample. Besides that, I have found it streams perfectly - for over a year. Stick a camera on it, I have never tried that! regards Greg Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104334 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Thanks again, > Foggy Great you got it going Foggy. Can you explain a bit more the problem with the Raspberry Pi's sound quality and the motion sensor. Are you saying the motion sensor interfered with the Raspberry Pi's ability to play music? I have an interest in Raspberry Pi's and squeezelite (see piCorePlayer) so I am curious. regards Greg Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104334 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

( echo "$MAC $STRING"; echo exit ) | nc $LMSIP 9090 MAC=mac address of Raspberry Pi STRING=LMS command i.e. play, pause LMSIP=LMS ip address If nc is not available try netcat. You may not need to include $MAC.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite soft power off/on detect
hi britcowboy, This solution is not exactly what you are asking for but I think the result is... if you are using a Linux player. http://www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/showthread.php?t=165465 The shell script monitors LMS for squeezelite activity, after a fixed period of inactivity the amp is turned off. When squeezelite starts the amp is turned on. The script could be converted to other OS scripts or higher level languages. For piCorePlayer we wanted to use only the basic tools available in piCore without having to install other extensions (packages). regards Greg Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102827 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

britcowboy wrote: Thanks Greg, that looks like it will do just what I'm looking for! Probably better than my solution as people will no doubt forget to soft power off anyway. The server and clients are on a mac (long story short, I have airplay speakers that I've hacked using shell scripts, squeezelite and airfoil to be squeezebox clients, works surprisingly well) so the shell script will work fine, and will allow me to turn off amps when not in use and also turn off the airplay streams, to save the constant streaming of nothing. Thanks! hi britcowboy, Accessing the GPIOs on a Raspberry Pi is easy, but I don't know how to interface to the real world on a mac.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Software players not automatically re-connecting to LMS
hi usc95, I don't find this is the case. I have a combination of real, piCorePlayer (squeezelite) devices and iPeng on iPad, all connect very reliably.
