Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Community Squeeze OS F19 Release 1
It's funny well, not really. ;) This doesn't affect anyone running the F19 image (at the moment) as the upstream update to luajit only appears to have been pushed on F20, but it breaks the squeeze-web-gui. My fault really, that I didn't see this coming, that 2.0.2 - 2.0.3 would cause a problem. But I should have seen this coming! Anyway, updates pushed for F19 and F20 squeeze-web-gui-lua and turbolua. The real downside, what I thought should be a nice peaceful day, drinking coffee, listening to some tunes and waiting for the arrival of a BeagleBone Black, will now be spent updating the F20 images. As a precaution, in case luajit-2.0.3 is pushed for F19, it won't hurt to upgrade now.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCoPlayer = Squeezelite on Microcore linux. .An embedded OS in RAM with Squeezelite
Hi, I've set up piCorePlayer on a Raspberry Pi (model B) with a Hifiberry DAC. Over Ethernet everything works just fine. I've also configured wifi using an Edimax USB wifi dongle. Again it works great. However, after shutting down my Pi, I cannot start-up again using wifi only - which is how I want to operate. When I try, piCorePlayer is not recognised in LMS at all. Worse, I cannot ping my Pi from my computer. However, the Pi is recognised on my router and is listed as connected over wifi and the router lists the correct MAC. I have entered the wifi MAC address in the piCorePlayer settings - although I'm not sure what effect this has. I can start the Pi successfully if both wifi and ethernet are connected. The player is recognised in LMS when I do this and I can start playing music. Once started, I can unplug the ethernet cable and the music continues to play without any interruption. It was obviously using the wifi connection to stream from the outset. Once started in this way, it will continue to play indefinitely. Following shutdown, however, I can only restart again with the ethernet cable re-connected. I am using the latest version of piCorePlayer (1.15), but had the same issues with previous versions. Is there a setting I'm obviously missing?

The sooner I get this up and running with the F20 image, the sooner you will have the F20 image, for the WB, Cubietruck and BBB. And people asking me about I2S There is no I2S without the CSOS F20 image! I can write all the guides in the world, but without that image being released. And you won't have that image until I have a single base image that works on all 3 pieces of hardware, so I have one image to support and not three.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Community Squeeze OS F19 Release 1
Having had issues with corruption of the SD card, which I think may be related to powering down the Wandboard (this is how my hifi system works, and the real SBT was/is happy with that) - I now have the Wandboard back on the bench, and constantly powered up. In this state I've not lost the Wandboard, it still pings on its IP address and the web interface is still there, BUT, the instance of Squeezeplay isn't being picked up by my LMS - running on my server. I've used the interface to re-start squeezeplay, but its still not appearing.

I know this is bad practice but has anyone had any specific issues with simply pulling the power plug to put their Wandboard/CSOS to bed? I *think* this naughtiness is causing my SD card corruption issue. If it absolutely must be powered down in an orderly fashion, I was thinking about some form of UPS type system where the board is kept alive for a short time by a battery, and it detects the loss of mains power, and runs some form of shutdown script. I don't know enough about the hardware or Linux to know if this is even possible.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Community Squeeze Cubietruck Development
Hi. I'm running a Cubietruck with squeezelite for quite some time. I've tailored my own ArchLinuxImage, with an updated kernel. As with most other Armboards (except RaspberryPi) the kernel module and firmware development runs really slow. They still use a 3.4 kernel. Though I guess the Wandboard is not any better on this. I also had an UDOO board here for testing. Kernelwise Udoo is also behind. It went back after a week. The Cubie community is quite active. But nothing compared to the Raspberry Community. What's great about the Cubietruck is the Nand storage. No SD card necessary. Never had a corruption issue so far -- at several daily hard-power-downs. With the Raspberry Pi., once a week I had to re-image the SD-card. I also like the battery management. The CT works well with a battery. There are also I2S drivers available. But the SPDIF driver delivers 16bit only !!! I'm currently running the device with a DragonFly 1.2 - buspowered. Very nice. Since you folks use Fedora I can't be very much of help here. I contributed some stuff (Nand-Install script etc.) to the ArchLinux-on-cubietruck community over here: http://www.cubieforums.com/index.php?topic=1592.0 Good luck. ::: ' Touch Toolbox and more' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com) ::: by soundcheck soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101378 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

[SlimDevices: Unix] Just Ordered A Cubietruck-Now how best to make it a Squeezebox replacement
A couple weeks ago one of my beloved Squeezebox Classics bit the dust :( After a short mourning period I decided I wanted to replace it with something new, not a used one off of Ebay. I also wanted to dip my toes into the world of Linux-based boxes. So I did some research and ended up ordering a Cubietruck. It looks like a decent option and for the price I figured it would be a low-risk way to get going with this and see if I like it. It should arrive in the next week or two. Now, the question is how to best make it work as a wireless player receiving music from my Windows desktop running LMS? I plan on using the SPDIF output to a DAC/headphone amp. I have zero experience coding but I have rooted tablets, installed Ubuntu on a computer and built a couple of PC's so I'm not afraid to learn. From what I can tell from the Cubie site it looks like setting it up with Cubian and then adding Squeezelite might be the easiest way to get going but I wanted to check here to see if there is anything else I should be aware of.

Sorry for the basic question but this is all new terminology to me so I just want it all to be clear in my head before I start loading stuff up on the Cubietruck. Thanks for the help! Okay. Basically, the CSOS image is a tailored version of Fedora which packages a suite of programs (eg. LMS, Squeezelite). The CS web interface or gui is a 'control panel' for setting up the CSOS (eg. wifi, lan, player install settings, LMS install settings). The web gui is accessed from a browser - simply insert the sd card in the CB - power up, wait a while.

Ok. I see. You wrote that SPDIF patch. 8-l I'd still end up with 16bit on my image. ;) If you have the patch and a link !?!?? I apply certain patches to my kernel anyway. I guess you're also using 3.4.?? BTW: Did you try a CONFIG_HZ=300 on ARM kernels ?? Just let me know when you're ready with your CubieTruck image. I'll have a look at it. I'd be interested to see if you'll get the server properly up'n running. I tried it on my Arch installation. I do have a pretty large database. Man. It was unacceptable slow, the whole thing. I could have accepted the long scan. But also the thumbnail refresh on the clients was awfully slow. I'm usually running a core i5 server btw. Not any ARM based server I tried was performing similar snappy like that i5.

TimG wrote: Hi, I've set up piCorePlayer on a Raspberry Pi (model B) with a Hifiberry DAC. Over Ethernet everything works just fine. I've also configured wifi using an Edimax USB wifi dongle. Again it works great. However, after shutting down my Pi, I cannot start-up again using wifi only - which is how I want to operate. When I try, piCorePlayer is not recognised in LMS at all. Worse, I cannot ping my Pi from my computer. However, the Pi is recognised on my router and is listed as connected over wifi and the router lists the correct MAC. I have entered the wifi MAC address in the piCorePlayer settings - although I'm not sure what effect this has. I can start the Pi successfully if both wifi and ethernet are connected. The player is recognised in LMS when I do this and I can start playing music. Once started, I can unplug the ethernet cable and the music continues to play without any interruption. It was obviously using the wifi connection to stream from the outset. Once started in this way, it will continue to play indefinitely. Following shutdown, however, I can only restart again with the ethernet cable re-connected. I am using the latest version of piCorePlayer (1.15), but had the same issues with previous versions. Is there a setting I'm obviously missing? Thanks, Tim Could you please copy the content of your config.cfg file (shown on the About web-page).

Thanks for the quick reply. sbp wrote: Could you please copy the content of your config.cfg file (shown on the About web-page). Unfortunately, I've left it at my Dad's place and won't be back there for a while, so I can't do this. Please try to remove the MAC address (just leave it empty - and then reboot using only wifi). I did this but the bahaviour was the same. In fact, I only entered the MAC address to see if it fixed the problem. When you reboot your raspberry without LAN cable - you say that you can see it in your router - have you observed that it now has a different IP number from when you were connected via LAN? It is this new IP-address you will need to use when you try to connect. The router lists wired devices and wireless devices separately. I can see both connections. They have different MAC addresses and different IP addresses. Yes, I try the wireless IP address when I try to connect (ping, piCorePlayer web interface, etc). Can you connect from another computer using putty and the new IP-address (wifi) also have you tried to connect via your browser using the new IP-address (wifi IP)? There is only the one computer so I can't to this from any other computer. However, I noticed exactly the same behaviour at my house before I took it to my Dad's - different computer there. If I boot to wireless (without ethernet), I can't ping, I can't ssh using putty and I can't connect using the web interface. They all either time out or else just sit without any response. If I then connect the ethernet cable, the player magically appears in LMS and I can ping, ssh and connect via web - even using the wireless IP and even after subsequently disconnecting the ethernet cable again. Once the PC has found the wireless connection, it doesn't lose it again until one or other machine is switched off.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Bluetooth Circle of Hell - Vol. 2
I was able to get BT working on wandboard under CSOS F19 but it wasn't easy. The main problem I kept on running into is that different versions of Bluez have radically different interfaces making things very difficult when you get scripts off the internet, they will only work with one specific version of Bluez, and of course most of the time they don't tell you what version they DO work with. Getting the pairing to work with simple_agent required loading something like 20 packages, but eventually I did get the propper set. It was maddening because there were different versions of the packages for different Bluez versions. Fairly frequently I had a set of packages that was working, but needed something else for the next stage, and it updated the other packages to newer versions that didn't work any more. Getting the right packages that ALL worked with the bluez version in question was not easy. I thought the package versioning system was supposed to make all this work, but in this case it broke down rather spectacularly. I did manage to get it working with just ALSA, no PA, but the latency was HUGE. One inportant thing to realize about the ALSA BT implementation is that it does NOT provide a device ie CARD. It produces a PCM stream. These don't show up when doing aplay -l, you have to do aplay -L to see them. And you refer to them by name, you can't use hw:0,1 etc, that refers to devices and these aren't. Once I got that worked out I was able to get squeezelite to send music to the BT device quite nicely. Of course with Bluez 5 all this goes out the window. Happy hunting with bluez 5! John S.
