Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] LInux client (controller) currently maintained
I, too, would like to understand how a web page could be "run" without a browser! It can't. But there are a few ways to hide the fact that it's running a web page. Electron is one of them. Many popular apps nowadays are written using web technologies (JS, HTML, CSS), eg. Spotify, Slack, VS Code etc. So, asking for a native app, and even considering an Electron app "native", but refusing to use a web wrapper is kind of joke (not to say lack of understanding). ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

But it does require a browser, even if most of the browser functionality is hidden from the user, and the request was strictly for an application that is not browser-based. I found it interesting to try SqueezePlay again. I used it briefly when I was first getting into LMS, but it's been a long time.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] LInux client (controller) currently maintained
SqueezePlay running on Linux Mint 20.3 (sorry, I haven't upgraded to 21 yet): 38917 Although it COULD be playing music on the computer on which it is running, at present it is simply controlling a player in a different room. Installing it is straightforward, following the directions on the download page mentioned previously (https://sourceforge.net/projects/lmsclients/files/squeezeplay/linux). As you mentioned, the Readme file is three years old, but the most recent builds date from last year. The first two lines of the directions only matter if you have previously installed SqueezePlay form a .deb file. Clearly, that is not the case, so you can safely skip those two lines. Code: Uninstall the debian package. sudo apt-get purge squeezeplay Create /opt/squeezeplay if it doesn't exist. sudo mkdir -p /opt/squeezeplay extract the tar file sudo tar -C /opt/squeezeplay -xzf squeezeplay-pulse-7.8.0-1149-x86_64.tgz Before upgrading from tar files remove the old /opt/squeezeplay folder before extracting the new one, otherwise you could have multiple versions of some files installed. Start using the script /opt/squeezeplay/bin/squeezeplay.sh If you want your screensaver to start, uncomment export SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER=1 in the script. That will install SqueezePlay, but you may find, as I did, that it locks up while trying to connect to mysqueezebox.com, with no obvious way to break out. I found these instructions in the Readme file for the Windows version of jivelite, which solved the problem for me. Code: Troubleshooting If you're computer has multiple active network interfaces, for example wireless and vpn connections, and after you've completed the initial setup, jivelite returns from Scanning for Players without finding one, try this. After Scanning for Players fails, click and hold the left arrow button to the left of Choose Player, near the top. Click Settings->Advanced->Networking->Remote Libraries->Add New Library. Enter the IP address of your LMS server and click Done->Connect to this library. At this point if you can't connect to the library Quit jivelite and restart it. Jivelite should connect to your library right away. Once you've done that, you will need to go back to the first level of Settings and selection the "Choose Player" option, which will allow you to control any Squeezebox player on your network from your computer. I think this is exactly what you asked for in your first post, brainchild.

Where was this mentioned? I do not find any mention of Material Design in this thread, before your post. (I searched for the word "design" in this thread and your recent post was the only thing that came up.) Material SKIN is a plugin for LMS that provides an alternate web interface.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion
I tried on another PC and was able to replicate this i.e. udate BT s/w and the tablt can still connect but no audio is heard. Then I wwent back to the old BT s/w and tried it with Windows 11. Wi11 could see the PCP but it couldn't connect. Event Log says "The mutual authentication between the local BT adapter and a device with BT address (blah blah) failed." So the behaviour is the same with the old and updated PCP BT s/w. Interestingly the BT address in the Win11 event log is not seen at all in the PCP logs, but I've no idea if I'm making an incorrect assumption about BT addresses being similar to MAC addrsses. mr-b's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10044 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114834 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion
After trying out Win11 which I thought had messed up my existing tabet BT pairing, I decided to do an image restore. After that the tablet worked fine. Then before trying out Win11 again tonight I thought it prudent to update BT. How wrong I was! First of all my tablet would no longer connect to PCP. So I deleted the BT pairing on the tablet and did a Forget on PCP. Then I re-paired the tablet with PCP, it reconnected but now there is no music playing to be heard. Do the logs make any sense?

Not a particularly new release  pi@rpi0-livrm:~ $ uname -a Linux rpi0-livrm 5.4.79+ #1373 Mon Nov 23 13:18:15 GMT 2020 armv6l GNU/Linux I do have a python script listening for upd packets - the lsnr turns on the connected amp via GPIO pin switching an isolated MOSFET switch. Top shows around 0.7% mem usage for the python process and less than 1% cpu at any given time. It doesnÂt seem like this could be the cause - I cannot see a mem leak over time. The reproducibility is indeed a key problem. The reason why I switched to RaspiOS was so I could leave it running and logging for a long while to catch the moment it fails and analyse logs retrospectively. I keep thinking it must be hardware given that setup A had the same os/sw as setup B originally. The only real diff between the 2 setups originally, was the psu and dc-dc converters. I think setup B has enough pwr, but maybe the superior, isolated dc-dc converter makes a difference for PicorePlayer? Appreciate the suggestions and input.

My Raspberry is a Model 4 Model B Rev 1.5, could this be the problem? I don't know. I guess, i will stay with my Original 7" Touchdisplay and the Waveshare Screen goes back. It's quite good.
