Sorry, I totally forgot to state I am using this on a RPI B3. That i why
I am looking for the 32bit kernel. I've been loading B1 on it and all is
well, but I would like to take advantage of the Bluetooth changes of B6.
B7 works great on my PI4

Thanks PasTim, 
I tried your way but still have 'output_init_alsa' warnings on my
system:
Ubuntu server 19.10 +newest LMS+ Local Player Plugin (v.1.6.5)+
squeezelite-x86-64 (v.1.9.5-1193).
I can hear the sound but I don't know if it could be better if alsa fifo
and memory allocation would work properly.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer6.0.0 - PI4 support

2019-11-19 Thread Michael Herger

BT should work just fine in b7 with the 64 bit kernel.   The only thing
that is 64 bit is the kernel.  All userspace is still 32bit.   The main
reason for migrating to 64 bit kernel is the memory management on the
4GB board.   Unless there is a compelling reason, i'm not going to
maintain the 32bit kernel on the pi4 for times sake.


What got me confused a bit is that pCP 6 would report the arch as 
aarch64 even on a Pi 3B. Is this expected to be so? And is all userspace 
code expected to still work as before (the reason I was investigating 
this was a Spotty issue, which does run an external helper application).

I decided to raise the priority of LMS, and hence localplayer.  I added
this to /etc/default/logitechmediaserver:

Code:


  SLIMOPTIONS="--localfile"
  SLIMNICE="--nicelevel -6"
  



and in /etc/init/d/logoitechmediaserver, d_start now includes:

Code:


start-stop-daemon --start --quiet \
  --chuid $SLIMUSER \
  --pidfile $PIDFILE \
  $SLIMNICE \
--exec $DAEMON_SAFE \
  --background \
  --make-pidfile \
  -- \
  $DAEMON \
  --prefsdir $PREFSDIR \
  --logdir $LOGDIR \
  --cachedir $CACHEDIR \
--charset=$CHARSET \
  $SLIMOPTIONS
  
  


With a similar change to d_start_direct.

I also include this in the localplayer start command:

Code:


  -p 25
  



I did all this some time ago, so am not sure which action had the most
effect (or even which are really necessary), but LMS and localplayer run
well on a relatively slow cpu doing a fair bit of transcoding.


I don't get the warnings you report on xubuntu 18.04 ( as a dedicated
LMS server).

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 5.0.0

2019-11-19 Thread Linvincible

Hi there, just sharing a fun story here since I can’t share it on
Facebook, my mom reads it ;0)
So I had a pair of speakers lying around, a small stereo amp, a
raspberry pi, when my mother’s integrated shitty CD player died. I
thought well I’ll just package a picoreplayer based stand-alone player
using a usb drive and she’ll have a larger media collection than the
local library !
She lives 650km away from me, so I packaged everything when she last
came, made sure everything ran correctly with dhcp when cold started,
installed the controller on her smartphone and felt confident it would
work once in her place.
Unboxing and wiring took a couple of Skype calls and then nothing
worked, nothing was found by the app: neither server nor player. I even
had her install a network sniffer.
It took me 10mn in a 24h trip to solve it: she had plugged the Ethernet
cable (rj45) in the phone socket (rj11) of her internet box. Didn’t
think of that one.
In the end I’m glad I was there to show her how to use the app!
Another fun fact was that she’s a bit like my kid who always wants me to
read the same stories: she now has access to 5000+ records but insisted
on finding 2...

Yes,  disable the onboard Bluetooth,  and a USB dongle should work fine.
I’ve used two different ones without issue, you do need to make sure
they are supported by linux.
