Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite freezing raspberry pi
A quick trip to the RasPi forums confirms the issue is likely a dangerous voltage loop from having a relay that needs too much power and is a low voltage trigger. Time for a rethink :) Thanks all! s2kiwi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63950 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107585 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite freezing raspberry pi
Check the config.txt file to see if max power for the usb is enabled (I think pCP does this by default).

I originally had it running via a powerline ethernet adaptor, so I swapped it over to a wifi dongle - no change in behaviour. After another day playing I'm now at: * I've decided to go back to Windows as that has eliminated some problems that appear server related (I'll sort the linux server later). * On windows a PiB+ I have running PiCorePlayer 3.02 working fine. * One my other PiB+ the same memory card w**ith PBP 3.02 doesn't work. So, Ultimately I think it's a power related issue. The Pi is doing a few power related things: - It's running a USB DAC and a GPIO DAC. - Two GPIO Pins are triggering a relay (one each) which is then powering on the amps. EDIT: I'VE JUST DISCONNECTED EVERYTHING ONE BY ONE AND THE GPIO PINS TO THE RELAYS LOOK TO BE THE CAUSE. Anyone got any experience in wiring up the GPIO pins in a similar way to give some advice as to why this might be sucking so much power? s2kiwi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63950 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107585 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite freezing raspberry pi
As CPU and memory doesn't change go up - but Squeezelite and SSH are sluggish - it "feels" like a network issue such as faulty cable, network interface, adaptor, router which is just degrading network communications. Typically when load is light TCP manages to get message through despite errors/lost packets but when load increases network throughput plummets as retransmissions take up more bandwidth. When you said you changed network setup - did you change cables, use a different adaptor (e.g. on Pi USB wifi vs on board ethernet) ?

I use this version of Squeezelite http://www.gerrelt.nl/RaspberryPi/wordpress/tutorial-installing-squeezelite-player-on-raspbian/ with LMS. I have it now on a rpi3b but have, previously used a 2b and 2b+. Good luck Ronnie.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite freezing raspberry pi
Thanks Roland, I was mainly just trying to rule out any obvious known bugs before I started again on fault finding. So, I've started from scratch with a fresh Pi B+, no DACs etc and a new version of PiCorePlayer 3.2 - no other modifications and the same happens again. Pi goes sluggish, playback skips (but CPU/Memory loads aren't high at all). It get's much worse with sync'd players of any sort. Slightly better with low res files and much worse with high res. So, I fired up my older windows server and it seems much better - and works with sync'ing. I can only think that means it's the Vortexbox server I'm running... it's a pretty stock new Vortexbox install with no real mods, running on a Intel Centrino vpro V2 with 2GB ram. Wipe that server, install a fresh AMD64 Debian Server core install and load up the latest LMS on top... Same behaviour! I've tried different versions of Squeezelite/hardware etc but nothing other than switching to the windows server makes any difference. Is it possible the Linux laptop is somehow incompatible with LMS? Any ideas what I'm missing here? s2kiwi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63950 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107585 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezelite freezing raspberry pi
Hi all, I'm tearing my hair out, so I'm hoping someone might have some advice to help me. I've been trying for days to get a stable Squeezelite running on one of my Pi's, but every time I initiate Squeezelite it slows the Pi down and starts skipping badly (SSH also slows to an unresponsive crawl, despite CPU/Memory resources looking fine). I've tried both PiCorePlayer and also Raspbian Lite - both show the same behavior. Changing network setup hasn't fixed it, different USB DAC made no difference, different power supply made no change. Any ideas? Any suggestions on stuff I should try? s2kiwi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63950 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107585 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
