Isn't this usually a setting in the external drive's firmware, rather
than on the computer?

Searching for the opposite of what you want, I found this page, mostly
more than ten years old, but with one suggestion from last year:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5211/prevent-a-usb-external-hard-drive-from-sleeping

What I think I understand from that is that hdparm might make it
possible for you to change the drive's settings. hdparm is available in
piCorePlayer extensions.

Another suggestion in that thread was to attach the drive to a Windows
computer and change the settings there.

I should probably mention that I also found articles that suggested that
drives may be designed to spin constantly, in which case spinning down
when not in use may actually shorten the drive's lifespan. 

My own experience when using a usb hdd for the LMS library was that the
drive would spin down after about five minutes of inactivity. It would
then take about a minute to spin up again, causing problems if LMS had
buffered a long track. I had to prevent spin down while LMS was playing.



Usually running latest beta LMS nightly on Raspberry Pi OS with virtual
players (Squeezelite and Airplay bridge). Occasionally using SB Radio,
Boom or Classic.

Hi Steve, I don't have a Scooby :rolleyes:, sorry. But I doubt it.

pCP has the 

ALSA 10 band Equalizer

On the Tweaks page is that is of any use.

I thought you had an equaliser (or am I :confused:, not an uncommon
condition :):))

a GPIO pin.

[SlimDevices: Unix] A few questions about piCorePlayer (8.2.0.)

2022-11-29 Thread joys_33

Hello, this forum is very extensive, so I will ask directly, if this has
been addressed somewhere, I apologize, I installed your awesome
piCorePlayer (8.2.0.) , and I would like to ask a few things.
I have the installation on a raspberry pi 3 b+ (SD card) and an external
SSD drive is connected where the data is stored.
This setup will serve as a server, I have players from Logitech.
I would like to connect the whole thing to a UPS backup.

Is there somewhere in the system the possibility of automatic shutdown
when the UPS value is low?

Is it possible to set the disk to sleep somewhere (if I used a classic
2.5ยจ HDD)?

Excuse my english, google translate :-)
Thank you for the advice.
Jack
