Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce piCorePlayer 3.20

2017-09-24 Thread psketch

Hi All

I ran a backup of my config onto USB before downloading a new image for
3.22 and booting up.  The config restored fine :-), but I came across
one problem - with Samba.  The restore of the config seems to restore
some Samba settings, but the Samba extension isn't actually installed. 
So. I'm seeing the settings for Samba all blank but with the "Remove
Samba" button, but without Samba actually being there.  To get it
working again, I had to Remove Samba a couple of times, then I got the
Install button showing again, and then I could re-install it and all
works.  Nothing dramatic, but just fyi

Does someone have further ideas reg dual wifi setup on piCorePlayer?
More specific for a band-aid idea: Is there a way to access the FAT boot
partition (PCP) of picoreplayer remotely while picoreplayer is running?
(Then I could have 2 newconfig.bak files and rename the appropriate one
for the WLAN I want to access after next reboot... not really
convenient, I know...)

General Update: My "piPAL" (see
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showth...l=1#post893404) runs smoothly and
I am happy with it.
Although - as many had recommended - I added an I2S DAC (generic
PCM5105A) for sound improvement. I still had to fight noise issues where
the Pi transmits 'computing noise' to the PALs Amplifier.
This seems to be due to the Pi feeding off the same power source - the
PALs battery and due ot the fact that they are so close together.
Noise was *almost* fixed by adding a ferrite core for the power-wires to
the Pi and putting max distance between Pi cables and PAL cables.

Now, I am really happy with the setup - if I only find a way to toggle
between 2 WiFi settings..

amp from a 19v brick so I think the power is ok. (I had suspected
overheating or EMI myself before as it was all built into a small box,
but its all spread out now.)  

As there is no obvious diagnosis, I've decided to reduce the potential
for funny kernel issues and random faults and I have re - flashed v3.21
(normal) onto a new high quality 16Gb SD card.  All seems fine so far
(now I have unmuted the amp!). Nothing stands out from the dmseg logs to
my untutored eye so I'll let it run and see what happens.  Many thanks
to all.

follow this procedure. 
http://picoreplayer.sourceforge.net/how_to_upgrade_lms.shtml   Or if you
start with a clean image, 7.9.1 is now the default package.

doh.  Feeling rather stupid now.  In my defence I'll claim I saw about
3.22 in the Bluetooth thread, so hadn't paged back in here to see the
3.22 announcement, and it's first thing in the morning, and I posted
before having a coffee, which is always a bad idea ... but mostly just

Hi ryangodammit,

Yes it has been done, but I can't find an appropriate link for you. :(

Here is a very basic example I used for testing purposes.


Code:

#!/bin/sh
  
  # Play/stop Squeezelite
  # Push button connected to GPIO17
  
  player=started
  
  echo "17" > /sys/class/gpio/export
  echo "in" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/direction
  
  while true
  do
PRESSED=$(cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/value)
echo $PRESSED
sleep 1
if [ $PRESSED = 0 ]; then
if [ $player = stopped ]; then
echo "Start player"
echo "play" | telnet 192.168.1.101:9090
player=started
sleep 3
else
echo "Stop player"
echo "stop" | telnet 192.168.1.101:9090
player=stopped
sleep 3
fi
fi
  done
  
  echo "17" > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
  
  exit
  



Then there are decisions to make about:

- polling or interrupts
- shell script or python
- use wiringPi or not
  

Here are some "out" examples, that might give you a few more ideas.

The "Audiophonics-powerscript.tcz" extension has a script.

Hi Guys

I just saw you'd posted 3.22 and tried the insitu upgrade, but it fails
from 3.21 with 

[ INFO ] You are downloading piCorePlayer3.22
[ INFO ] You are currently using piCorePlayer3.21
[ INFO ] Boot partition size required: 25650. Boot partition size is:
25600

Any ideas?
