Correct they will deliver the exact same bit stream :) they will also sound the same unless one of the sources is seriusly broken or the DAC is very shoddily built . Now devout audiophiles starts to talk about jitter etc as a factor .

Setup pCP, but do not expand the file system to fill the whole card. Once it is setup, pull the card and create a 3rd partition on the card to use the rest of the space, and then add your music. Then restart your pi, and setup the mounting of the new partion on the pCP / LMS web page. It will show up under the USB mounting. paul-'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58858 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107352 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BitPerfect
Talking about "bitperfect", I would like to ask a question to you. If we take different devices labeled as "bitperfect", I suppose that there should not be any difference among them. I mean... no difference in the bitstream delivered... is this sentence correct? Since I am playing around this matters since years, some days ago i got an OTG USB cable and connected my DACs to a Sony Experia Z1 Android smartphone where I installed "USB Audio Player PRO". Everything is played from a NAS and it works well even with my 352 kHz \ 24 bit FLAC with no problems. The question is: what could be the difference between an Android smartphone running USB Audio Player Pro and pCP and a PC running Jriver or any other high-end multi k$$$ streamer? If bitperfect is bitperfect... there shuld be no difference at all (speaking about bitstream and not other features), or not? thanks. steff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66870 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108191 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] LMS problem on debian jessie
Any one of netstat, ps, top, htop at the CLI should confirm if LMS is running and on what ports on your system. Jessie/OMV uses systemd so it's better to use systemctl commands, e.g. systemctl status logitechmediaserver, systemctl restart logitechmediaserver, etc. Assuming you have enabled ssh access to Jessie/OMV command line. In OMV you could also use the webui to look at the running process. Using "netstat -plant" as root should show a perl program is listening on 127.0.0.1:9000 in a default LMS setup. Use something like "ps aux | grep squeeze" to show slimserver.pl is running.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] rpi3+pcp3.22+LMS causes transporter & SBradio to jump in and out of LMS
Unfortunately old is not synonymous with experienced. I've never run LMS off pCP... I think it can be an issue with the Pi's hardware, with networking (on the Pi or on the switch/router), or LMS. Pi hardware: what is connected to the Pi over USB? It is a rather frequent case that users connect too many devices to the USB ports, and some get disconnected by the platform. AFAIK max current draw is 1A over the 4 ports (e.g. max 1A with 1 port, max 500mA each for 2 ports etc.) As you know, ethernet is connected via USB so an USB reset might affect your connection. The stock PSU for Pi 3 can output 2.5A over 5V sustained. If your PSU is weak, like 1A, it is possible that all the current goes to the Pi itself and not enough remains for the USB ports. It *think* "dmesg" could show something upon disconnects. Otherwise adding bootcode "syslog" to cmdline.txt in pCP will allow /var/log/messages to be created, and there you should get a regular system log. Networking: are you using DHCP? If not I would. In case there is a typo in networking config you can get disconnects/no connection at all. Make sure the IP used by pCP is indeed unique to the network, an IP conflict would create transient issues like the one you're seeing. Also if you're using one of those fancy "green ethernet" network devices, try and see if disabling power management on the port used by Pi in the switch/router changes anything. LMS: could LMS be caught in a fail/restart loop? I would open a session on pCP, check "ps" regularly and see if the main LMS process ages or on the contrary, keeps changing PID which would indicate a restart. I don't think mySB.com would have much to do with this. If you can live without Internet for a few minutes, you could try pulling the WAN cable from the router and see if players still reset. I don't see why that would change anything but when everything's lost... 3 SB 3 Libratone Loop, Zipp Mini iPeng (iPhone + iPad) LMS 7.9 (linux) with plugins: CD Player, WaveInput, Triode's BBC iPlayer by bpa IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Server Power Control by Gordon Harris Smart Mix, Music Walk With Me, What Was That Tune? by Michael Herger PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson AirPlay Bridge by philippe_44 WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld Auto Dim Display, SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins. epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108198 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] rpi3+pcp3.22+LMS causes transporter & SBradio to jump in and out of LMS
Have you checked your power on resume settings for each player ? And also I *think* there is a setting in the audio settings for the digital out should behave if the playback is stopped , just to adopt to varius AV recievers and DAC's that auto switch depending on the state on the spdiff output . Sorry , that I have no Touch or SB3 connected anymore they exposed this setting and i think the transporter does to, I forgot the name of this setting :/ This could affect "clicking" and input switch of in associated equipment ...

The screen display is driven by LMS. so if LMS connection is broken screen will go blank. I think the audio click is when audio stream is empty not when LMS connection is gone. As player have a buffer - normally if playing and connection to LMS is broken - audio will continue unitl buffer is empty but display will change.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] rpi3+pcp3.22+LMS causes transporter & SBradio to jump in and out of LMS
No keep them registred , but make sure it's the same account for all players . And also put in your mysqueezebox login in the LMS settings for that so that your LMS can see your mysb.com account . That way switching players back and forth goes smoothly (you can see from within LMS if a player is at mysb.com ) and the app and radio menu in LMS will work properly. And actually if you have your LMS account set in LMS you will probably find your picore player registred at mysb.com too . I really have no clue but The "picore player" is on the same PI as LMS and they don't loose conection ?, could that tell us anything ? regarding networking . Yes radio's wifi icon turns red when conection is lost . Further youre sure that the players are connected by ethernet ? you don't just have to put in the cables you must also redo the network setup in each player .

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] rpi3+pcp3.22+LMS causes transporter & SBradio to jump in and out of LMS
Three veterans to the rescue ;) Thanks epoch1970 Mnyb bpa for jumping in! I'm afraid troubleshooting this one will be a b*tch.. -No double lms servers here. Only one and that's the 7.9.1 that comes with PCP. Prior to spotify pulling the plug all my hardware squeezeboxes were connected only to mysqueezebox.com. -nothing is synced (this would be next on the list provided that this strange issue is sorted out hopefully) -bpa I have not checked the lcd screen of the SBradio for any relevant icons (my current setup is all wired, not sure if anything is to change to "red" but this is the first time I'm using said Radio over wire. I recall in my previous setup when SBR was wireless that upon losing wireless -or mySB.com connection can't recall- the wifi icon became red indeed) -the Transporter when connected to mysb.com or a local lms (has installed lms in my previous house) behaves normally i.e. clicks it's optical ins/outs each time connection to server mysb or lms is lost and again each time it is restored. When I hit "off" it stays dark and noiseless till the next time I call it's services. Now with the Transporter connected to pcp's lms the behaviour is like: connects ok...plays whatever radio stream I ask normally..I stop it.."power it off via orangesqueeze or remote control"..wait a min...hear clicking sound (meaning lost server connection...wait a couple of secs...hear clicking sounds again meaning server connection restored...and the loop goes on until I decide it's time to post to the forum and ask for assistance lol -all this I repeat can be visually verified on orangesqueeze where one can see the players Radio and Transporter appearing/disappearing/reappearing from the available players list. -*strangely* player "picoreplayer" appears to never exhibit such behaviour (at least from orangesqueeze's pov). Is is actually rather frustrating having the KitchenRadio selected as active player in orangesq and trying to hit "pause" or whatever only to find that half a second ago KitchenRadio fell off the list causing the picoreplayer to become the active player and thus having my "pause" or whatever getting sent to picoreplayer instead. Looking forward to your feedback guys Nikos ___Dumb question just came to mind...should I go to mysqb.com and delete my players maybe? Said Transporter and said Radio were "registered" all these years while the newcomer picoreplayer that's not behaving silly has never been connected to mysbx.com__ _NK_'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2645 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108198 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
