don't have to back it up as a single entity, it doesn't really matter
how you do it. Rsync it to another machine, copy it to backblaze,
OneDrive, xfsdump, tar, dar, Bacula, Amanda, whatever. That's a
secondary problem no matter how you store it up front.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Experimental: Bluetooth Speaker support in piCorePlayer 3.22

2017-12-12 Thread paul-

Thais is still experimental, as I was looking to see if folks had luck
with various Bluetooth devices.  If you have never looked at bluez, you
will need to read up on that.

Read point 4 in the opening post.

The extension can be installed from the extension button in the main
menu.

Thats going to result in a very very large VMDK File which I would
suggest will be impossible to back up as a single entity.

If the host was Linux and not Windows things would be dead easy,

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Experimental: Bluetooth Speaker support in piCorePlayer 3.22

2017-12-12 Thread Dan benDan

A little linux skillz to install manual portions of support, and to
do some debugging if needed

I don't know how to "•Download Extension pcp-bt from the extension
browser. Using the piCorePlayer Sourceforge repo." Can you explain how
to do this?

Will WI-FI work using an external WI-FI adapter?

Thanks!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Xubuntu 14.04 & startup sequence of LMS

2017-12-12 Thread zordaz

Yes, this is an old one but...

Today I decided to test if it was possible to remove the Q&D
/etc/rc.local workaround command, because I am running Ubuntu 16.04 now
with systemd and LMS 7.9.x
The test was unsuccessful, the /etc/rc.local workaround is still needed
when running LMS on a system where the network is started later than
LMS.
I have not tweaked with the systemd-config or whatsoever, it is running
with default Ubuntu settings.

I can't believe I am still the only one over here having this problem. I
am still interested in a structural solution or nicer workaround!



*Living Room:* HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer
*Attic:* HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer
*Kitchen:* SB Radio
*Other rooms:* 4x SB Radio

OK. Thanks for the information and your advice.

This is a DAC problem, we cannot deal with that in pCP or squeezelite. 
Some i2s Dac do the same thing you mention, others have internal muting
functions that handle that.

Your best bet is to resample everything to the same rate.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce piCorePlayer 3.20

Hi,

First of all, thanks a lot for the great job. I use piCorePlayer with a
Pi3 and an HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro and everything works fine.

Now I want to use the USB DAC, it works well except that I hear loud
clicks/pops between tracks only when the sample rate changes : for
example from 44.1 to 192 or from 96 to 88.2 kHz.

Any idea or suggestion on the way to tweak piCorePlayer to remove these
clicks/pops ?

Thanks a lot for you help.

Best regards,
Francesco

Thanks for that.  I will look into it.  I think that my issue is
slightly different though.  The files play fine when I play the album
proper, but when they are mixed in a playlist the playlist will stop
playing at that point.  If I advance manually to the next track, they
will play.  I'll do a test tonight and look at the log file.  Just to
verify, the log is on the LMS server, correct?

I re-seated the GPIO wires and used the USB power input on the screen (I
had been supplying power to the pi) and that has eliminated the
lightning bolt.  In the meantime I had already ordered a 3amp power
supply (with an on /off button).  I might as well try it when it
arrives!
