Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Best way to sync (one way!) library TO piCorePlayer with USB HD

2017-09-03 Thread Greg Erskine

I use WinSCP's sync command to synchronise files from my PC USB drive to
various USB drives on piCorePlayers.

Once you set file permissions and file type it works great. :D

Linux normally comes with rsync that does just what you need - not sure
picoreplayer hasn't removed it.


It's available as an extension. Way to go.

2017-09-03 Thread sbp

I use pCP and a RPi3+ connected to a WD 1TB USB hard disk, it is working
really well. I don't have a problem with any power down issue on the
HDD. Samba is enabled so I easily can add new files.

The initial transfer of the files to the HDD was done by attaching the
HDD directly to the computer that contained the files. Then I moved the
HDD to the RPi

if you have samba enabled on the RPi that run LMS you could use
something like Allways Sync.
if you haven't enabled samba you can use something like winscp for mac.

Agreed, but the throughput is much better than onboard ethernet, if
throughput is important to you.

There are so many arm platforms better suited for a low cost/power
server,  if only they had reasonable software/kernel support.  I had
ported piCore to oDroidC1, but stuck at 3.10 kernels and backported wifi
drivers was painful.   Otherwise the C1 was binary compatible with the
rpi.  Of coarse there is the wandboard too, which is a good product,
albeit much more expensive

I'll try as soon it is available.

A Pi is not a good server. Convenient, very, but it's no file server.
Banana Pi is much better (PCI linked gig-e and SATA, but even that still

Ah Ok, I wondered if LMS was killing the QNAP, I have an old TS-119,
which I formerly used as both a NAS, and an LMS server, it's now
consigned to purely NAS duties, as I now run LMS 7.9 on a Pi3,
referencing the NAS files and serving a mixture of pi2s and SBs

I compared the pi3/LMS reindexing speeds for both USB, and wired network
to the NAS, both were about 35 mins for a complete rebuild of 3k flac
albums, the USB was marginally faster, but I prefer the security and
accessibility of a NAS over an HD...

i'm doing backup cos qnap manager says there is an anomaly on volume 1
of my qnap hds (they're set in raid 1). now everything is still working
fine but maybe i should change the hd with errors. if i change the
failed hd with an other hd (the same brand but 2 tb instead a tb) and
rebuild raid 1 will i lose data? the failed hd is seagate ST2000VX000

it is very slow to copy , i'm at 2 per cent after 6 hours, it could take

Except .. most USB HDD go to sleep pretty aggressively so the latency on
spin up (particularly for high platter count drives) can be in the
region of 6-8 seconds. Would bet the qnap will manage this better than a
USB HDD firmware does. Network latency should add relatively little to
the transaction. Second I would bet the qnap performs better. Most USB
HDD are optimised for streaming not IOPs (as backup drives) so I'd say
no it won't perform better.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Allo KALI Reclocker & Raspberry Pi DACs running as Slave or Master?

2017-09-03 Thread feeder6

Thank you for the answer. Just some questions before i buy the kali:

1. Which version do i need, the older or the newer one? I think the
newer one goes to 384khz, but the ES9023 delivers only 192khz. So i
think the older one?!
2. The DAC has an own power managment. I feed it with 7.5 Volt. How can
i deliver power to the Kali? The Kali has its own power socket but i can
feed it with only 5 Volt.
