So you just pick the data display format required from one of these "widgets" ie. so just select "circle widget" rather than "bar widget". This is reason why they all look similar. Jivelite is based on code written from scratch by Logitech and AFAIK there is no equivalent of a "circle widget". regards Greg Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103330 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

I understand, but since the very same Rpi3 work great with the official Raspian + MPD + the same USB DAC even to 384 kHz, I suppose that is something not dependent to the HW. Anyway the DAC is this: HiFace DAC by M2Tech http://www.m2tech.biz/it/hiface_dac.html I am listening right now and confirm that 3.11 is better that 3.20 and playing without the touch LCD is better than with the LCD. Moreover, since until 6 month ago I was running the "old" Rpi2, I can confirm that on the Rpi2 pCP is really better than pure MPD: I suppose that MPD cunsumes more CPU and the Rpi2 + MPD can not compete with PCP that is very very light.

The traditional look with rounded corners, gradients and stuff feels very dated. While the technology of the squeezebox system is still able to compete on equal footing with giants such as sonos. Get a copy of the code. Explore the images folder. Replace files. Post results. I'm looking forward to it! But to be quite honest? I still consider circular input controls on a touch screen utter nonsense. Might look modern, but the UX sucks. Every kid learns to draw a line.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Newbie of pCorePlayer (coming from pure MPD)
It is my very first time here in this forum and I am quite new in playing with piCorePlayer. I am running a Raspberry + MPD since years; the flac files are stored on a NAS and the audio system is connected to the raspberry by a USB-DAC M2Tech. With some tweaks and a recent upgrade to pi3, I am playing even high resolution FLAC (up to 384 kHz and 24 bit) without any audible pops. All is perfect even pulling data from the NAS using the built in WiFi. I was looking for an improvement: avoid using the smartphone with app such as MPDroid to control the device. So I switched to Volumio, since it is based on MPD but can offer a built in support for the official rpi3 LCD and touch. Volumio was almost as perfect as my previuos pure-MPD setup, but whenever I use the LCD\touch... my God... it is a terrible experience. The CPU usage of the rpi3 gets higher due to Crmoium web browser used by Volumio to control the GUI. A lot of pops and glitches on high resolution FLAC. Then I started to look aroud for something different and I found piCorePlayer and... I am here. pCP is very interesting, very "light" and... once activated the touch LCD... WOW! It is GREAT! Unfortunately, after playing for some weeks, I am not able to find the "perfect" setup... I mean I am not able to get the same performances running the pure-MPD setup, maybe because of me or because of the pCP architecture, so I am going to asks some question. 1) since I am going to use the built in WiFi and an USB-DAC, should I use the standard pCP or the Audio Optimezed version? 2) Why I am getting better performances (less pops and cracks) using the 3.11 release versus the latest 3.20 ? 3) Why I am getting more pops and crackes with the touch LCD interface than without? 3) Why no audio at all playing files with resolution higher than 192 even if the DAC supports is (and with MPD I am able to play) ? The file of course il played by MPD 5) Is there the (maybe undocumented) possibility to play from memory? I mean to buffer the 100% of the file before playing it (for example JRiver offers this feature) Of course, the above problems occur even with the wired Ethernet and not only with WiFi Thanks for your help. steff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66870 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107369 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
