Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer Documentation

Yeah, it probably needs a bit of a rewrite.

Setup instructions are now completely wrong.

Setup was rewritten for pCP7.0.0 with wifi now leveraging code from pCP
GUI.

I have a feeling "setup" is not used very often, nobody has commented on
it for years.

Thanks for bringing into focus.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer Documentation

2021-02-21 Thread epoch1970

Just in passing, I’ve found page
https://docs.picoreplayer.org/how-to/setup_wifi_on_pcp_without_ethernet/
quite confusing.


- The “maintained by PCP” and “maintained by the user” methods are
  contrasted in title, but differ only in the use of special characters
  in strings...
  That’s not 2 methods, that is one, with the limitation that files
  with special characters can’t be updated via the GUI.
  
- Also I would rather spell “maintained by pCP” as “can be updated
  via the web GUI”.
  
- I assume the option to run “setup” with a console and keyboard
  works most of the time. Otherwise don’t document it. 
  And in this case, I would make that the first method, on top of the
  page, as it is clearly easier than writing a config file.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Memory Leak in Perl Engine on piCorePlayer?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] 'Official' docker container for LMS?

2021-02-21 Thread Squeeze4Ever


Hi mamema,
yes you're right, but to install and configure portainer you must also
use the SSH login. If you can do that it's easy to install the LMS
container. The basic idea was to make it as simple as possible that
means only to click and install and define the three folders with the
integrated Synology giu.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 7.0.0

2021-02-21 Thread chincheta0815


On the latest picoreplayer version with the latest pcp_shairport-sync I
encounter an issue with the service propagation for Airplay:
Right after startup shairport-sync propagates to my iPhone (iOs 14.4). I
can play music a desired. 
Then after a while shairport-sync vanishes and does not show up again in
the Airplay devices list.

Starting shairport-sync with "-vvv" for extreme verbose output I get an
error message by tinymdns:

Code:


  1.004858000 "tinysvcmdns.c:1504" data from=192.168.47.88 size=369
  
  0.003429000 "tinysvcmdns.c:756" rr_data_len goes beyond packet buffer: 4500 > 
254
  
  0.003192000 "tinysvcmdns.c:894" error parsing answer #0
  


192.168.47.88 is my iPhone.
The complete log is attached.

This issue is also known on
https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync/issues/1098 . 
But as I saw that shairport on PiCorePlayer is "self-made" coming in its
own pcp_* extension I do not know where to ask for help.

Is there maybe an issue with tinysvcmdns or the backend in general or an
incompatiblity with pcp's own mdns service propagation for the web
page?

Thanks in advance fo advice and help.

If you are running Material, it has "Shutdown" and "Restart" options
when you're in Server Settings - Click the three dots on the top right

Raspbian.
"sudo service logitechmediaserver stop" did the job perfectly. Thanks

which OS is the LMS running on ?

pCP has a stop button on the LMS Tab page

If using Rapberry pi os, open a terminal and type

sudo service logitechmediaserver stop [status, start, restart]

or

sudo /etc/init.d/logitechmediaserver stop

there is one for sytemctl as well, but have never used that :)

A dumb question - how do I stop LMS on the Pi? I can't find the control
panel that I'd use in Windows to do this, and I'd rather not just
terminate the process. I am trying to copy an old copy
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs over and it seems prudent to stop LMS
first.

As written in the source code of shairport-sync it does overwrite the
config file setting.
Another disatvantage is that the config file is harder to be worked on
with bash variables.
And finally: All changes will be gone after an update... 

So here a question:
Would it make sense to add a "SHAIRPORT_NAME" variable in pcp.cfg that
sets the name to "${NAME}-AIRPLAY". Then this new variable has to be
used in the shairport-sync startup script.
Thus, it would be possible to customize that name (manually without
gui). The changes for a gui could then lateer easily be added.
And the name could stay after updates...

If that is okay to you I would send you my idea in the respective files
and/or via extensions. For the latter I would need a hint about where to
find info on creating proper extensions. And of course: Which ones I
have to touch (pcp_shairport-sync and pcp_base)? Is there an extension
source code repo?

I hope my idea does not sound too bad and you would let me help...
