Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2022-11-02 Thread paul-


Its up to LMS to remember the playback modenothing I can do about
that from the bluetooth side.  Once the player connects, take a look a
the lms interface and see what is in the playback queue.

As for the logs, that all looks normal, you will notice in the second
log that you are pressing the play/pause button on the speaker.  Again,
that all looks normal.



piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.

You can find CustomClock.zip here:

This thread gives excellent step-by-step instructions how to load the

I turned the speaker on after "info" and waited a few minutes before
"connect"
After connecting, LMS found the speaker (but has not remembered it's
supposed to play a random mix of tracks)

My technical adviser (aka my son on the other side of the world)
suggests adding a button to the box (a 3D print project) to kick off a
script that forces the connection then sends the LMS "play random mix"
command. That might be a bit too techy for me, but it's a possibility.
I've got till mid-January to finish the job, and a wired connection
remains the fall-back plan.

Hmm, didn’t Greg just say the file system is created fresh on each

How do I access the pi as root? The docs show user tc, don’t see a login

Did not know about the VU-meters as extensions, but you can switch
between different custom clock screens with screen switcher. I use it to
see my Off-screen and a radar screen every 5 minutes for 30 seconds. You
may cycle between more screens too if you like. 
Screen Switcher is no longer available under plugins, don‘t know why,
but I had it from the times when I used the Touch.
To copy it to the Pi you need access to it as root, configure SSH

You must remember that many of these plugins were written for the older
hardware Squeezebox players with a VDU display (Transporter, Classic,
Boom, etc.)

Their settings are usually found under LMS > Settings > Player > Basic
settings.

Here's what I see for my Slim Devices SB3 (Classic) below.

NB, I don't use any of Erlands plugins, way too complex for me.

I don't even use my Classic just plugged it in now to demonstrate.

pCP is memory based, so unless you specifically do a backup, things will

You probably should be using this directory instead

/tmp is definitely temporary.

Add

pCP is not working out the name, it must be part of the jivelite code.

Yes, my LMS also shows SaverSwitcher. But there are no settings on the
server for it as far as I can tell

And the only applet on the picoreplayer is superdatetime.

The directory on the pi for custom clock helper is blank. I cannot copy
files into that directory because they are owned as root and I logged in
as tc.

I see a lot of "active plugins", "inactive plugins" and "3rd party
plugins" on my pCP LMS.

I can't see one called "screen switcher" but there is one called
"SaverSwitcher".

BTW: You can only have one VU meter available at once. Each one is a
separate extension.

By default, Windows cannot see Linux file systems.

Back again, so I tried to do it remotely according to the documentation.


I remote login with the user tc, but the directory .jivelite and below
belong to root. 

So no permissions to copy ScreenSwitcher to the Applets directory.

On the touch I enabled remote access, but there is no /home dir as far
as I can tell to copy files from. 

Next step is to take the SD card from the piCOreplayer and see if I can
copy the files from a windows PC.

Hopefully that directory is visible from the windows PC.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Player randomly stops playing part way through songs

2022-11-02 Thread Solorize


I am now at home and have checked and LMS has stopped again.

If I click on the next button, it looks like it starts to progress
playing the track  but only for 4 seconds and then it
jumps straight to the end of the song, also there is no audio played
while it is doing this.

This happens, either pressing the Next or Previous player button.

Also, the player just shows the play button as paused.
But if I try and click on it to start to play, it jumps right
back to pause again.

I did have a look at the DMESG log, but it does not log
anything else when I try to re-play the playlist again.

I have attached the DMESG log from today, to this post.

39008


And this was the full log from the other day.
39009

Hopefully this may shed some light on where the problem may be?

I don't recall having issues with HDCD-decoded flac files on my
piCorePlayers and SB Radio's. I think most of them are decoded to 24 bit
(not 20), but I'll have to check. Quite some CD's in my collection which
are labelled as HDCD doesn't make use of any of the features btw, I only
decoded the ones which makes use of Low Range/Peak Extension or Gain
adjustments.

Thanks for the files and the tip.

Have to step away from the computer so will try again later.

Okay, so I remade the sd image from scratch and this time used the 32bit
8.2 image and everything seems to work, but NOT some applets.

Custom clock and screen switcher are NOT there.

My original issue is still there.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2022-11-02 Thread paul-


I had one speaker device that would not try to connect when powered
on.never could figure out why.  None of my other headsets/speakers
do that.

Power off your speaker and reboot your pi, then ssh in

run "bluetoothctl"

type: paired-devices

You should see a list of devices that are paired on your systemmake
sure your speaker's mac address is shown.  If it is not then there is
something preventing the backup of the paired devices...

type: info 

This should show settings for the paired device, I'm mainly interested
to know what is in the "trust" field.   The device should be trusted.

Power on speaker,

Type:  connect 

What do you see.

Thanks for the quick response.

For screen switcher, I can see that it is referenced in these forums,
but I do not see it in the list of available plugins on the LMS server.

I do have “use unsupported plugins” checked.

Does it need to be installed on the server first?

I am running LMS as a docker in Synology

[SlimDevices: Unix] "Customize Device" question - piCorePlayer / Jivelite

2022-11-02 Thread stereoptic


When using the Customize Device plug-in through
Settings>Advanced>Customize Device, if I add a file under the Wallpaper
section, does it replace the existing selections, or add to it?

I thought that I would ask before I played around with it.

I noticed that there was no "Encore Red" option for pcp, so I copied the
"bb_encorered.png", resized it to 400x800 and renamed to
pcp_encorered.png.

I added it to the
"/tmp/tcloop/pcp-jivelite/opt/jivelite/share/jive/applets/SetupWallpaper/wallpaper/"
directory and "Encore Red" appeared as an option under Wallpapers.

I'm not sure if that is the preferred or proper method though!  Also,
how did pcp tie the label "Encore Red" to the filename itself?

Thanks!

Can you provide two flac files I can download, that exhibit this
behaviour, so I can you to try to reproduce?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Player randomly stops playing part way through songs

2022-11-02 Thread Solorize


Hi mherger,

Thanks for your reply.

I can confirm the following:

LMS is running on the same pi which is playing the music.
Either straight of the SDCard which has piCorePlayer installed,
or via a connected USB External HDD.

All the music being played is in MP3 format, which are all at
all encoded the same: 320 kbps @ 44100 Hz, Bitdepth of 16/Bit Rate.

I am not sure which process caused the crash. The log that I posted
did not have any other information 'below' what was shown. I had not
cut anything from the end, only from what preceded it.

If required, I could zip the full log and attached it, but I would need
to do this once I get back from work this evening.

Are there any other logs which may provide additional information?
Obviously, I would have to wait for it to crash again to be able to
provide any additional information.

Thanks again for the reply, Paul.
I took the battery out of the other device - but it still shows up on a
scan, so something somewhere is storing its id ("Bluthing")!
No real difference in the behaviour of the speaker vs pCP Bluetooth.
Here's a summary, beginning with a working, playing speaker connected
over BT:
1. Speaker off, speaker back on - pairs and play resumes
2. Speaker off, reboot Pi - BT starts, speaker remembered as paired,
with a red X
3. As 2, then speaker on - no change, and no new entries in log
4. As 3, then click "connect". Red X changes to green tick, speaker does
not beep to announce pairing, nothing in log, no actual connection (I
refreshed the screen a few times during this, not sure at exactly what
point I saw the green tick)
5. Back to 2, click "forget", "scan" finds the speaker (and includes
Bluthing in the list in the pane at the top of the BT screen), offers
speaker for pairing, pair as usual and all works. (LMS has not
remembered the song mix that was playing, but that's not related to BT)

The goal for this little project is a plug-and-play-power-only setup for
a bunch of old ladies hosting a gathering. There won't be a network,
input device or display. None of them knows anything about IT stuff so I
think that goal is probably unachievable. If I come across a BT speaker
I can borrow, I'll check that out in case it works like my Sony
headphones (which simply work over BT). I can make a suitable system
with a plugged speaker so I'll see if they'll be happy with an extra
wire.

Cheers - and once more, big big thanks for the BT work and helpful
support.

Yup - weird alright. I chose 8.0.0 when 8.2.0 wouldn't play nicely
because that's what's running on my Pi Zero W that serves music over BT
to my Sony headphones. And that's been rock solid 24/7*365 (apart from a
little hiccup that turned out to be nothing to do with pCP or LMS). 
My PC downloaded the target file with no problem at the same time the Pi
was failing.
Anyway 8.0.0 is doing fine for me at the mo.
