sorry?
In the pCP main page there are: My Music, Extras, My App, Gallery,
favourites, settings and quit.
No LMS tab.

I would be happy to have a button to restart the LMS and the
SqueezeLite it is not very intuitive, but it solves.
I can see just the option to restart Jivelite and reboot completely pCP

Thanks

Then I think you can workaround the network issue with a custom command
that sleeps 30 secs (or so) and restarts LMS. Custom command are
executed last at boot. I don't use LMS on pCP and I am far from my
players so I can't be more precise on the contents on that script.

And for the USB issue, I surmise it does *not* happen if SL has released
the audio device before you switch it to another mode. I would try to
play, power off or stop the player, change mode on you USB device, and
back. If music restart without having to restart SL, then you could:
- Always stop of power off the player before switching mode. The LMS
plugin PowerSaver will power off an idle pCP player after 15 mins if you
prefer. 
- Experiment with option -C which releases the audio device when simply
idle for a while.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Radio sometimes not working and USB not connected

2017-12-24 Thread steff

standard 3.22, not the audio one.
the power supplier is OK, I am SURE, measured with a 600$ sampling
multimeter while powering the Pi3.
With the old one, I got the lighting bolt sometimes, now no more...

It happens both with wired ehternet and the built in WiFi. Now I am
running a WiFi USB dongle to get more bandwidht (I can play 384 kHz FLAC
over the WiFi with no problems)

Yes, set to use LMS on Rpi

For the USB: I confirm that if I switch the DAC input, then pCP stops
playing and never resumes until reboot. Looks like the very same
behaviour unplogging a USB dongle DAC

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Radio sometimes not working and USB not connected

2017-12-24 Thread epoch1970

Does restart work instead of rebooting?
- Radio issue: restart LMS
- DAC issue: restart squeezelite

(Something looks wrong with the router/network/cable if DHCP doesn't
work over Ethernet.)

Pi3 is conntected to WiFi (but same problem with wired Eth)
The DAC is self powered with its power supplier

Have connected the pi with ethernet to the router?

Is the dac powered via the usb?

I'm thinking "network" and "power Supply" here :confused:

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Linux VMs running on Win10+VMwareWorkstationPro

2017-12-24 Thread pablolie

I have been reading the different suggestions with great interest.

There are man ways to skin this particular cat indeed. :-)

The main lesson is that it isn't as straight-forward as I thought it
would be, as evidenced by all the replies, too.

I have decided to create an entirely new VM over the holidays using some
of the advice in here. Hopefully that makes the VM more versatile.

Happy Holidays, Linux brethren :-)
