Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.10

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the fast reply!

No console needed, it's a device I need to talk to.
Everything works fine as long as I'm on any network.
But if not, initialisation of that api-object fails.
That said:
I don't think it needs Internet access, but it might be worth a try if
it still fails inside an offline-network...

For the ad-hoc:
It's a workaround for that what I'm working on ;)

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.10

2017-08-12 Thread Benicz

Hi guys,

I'm posting here because I'm still on 3.11 - but I dont' think my
problem would be different on later versions.

I'm runnig a python script which is started automatically via user
commands on the tweaks page.
It uses tty:ama0 on my RPi3, working fine usually, network is connected
via onboard-wifi.

But I'd like to take care of the situation where no connection can be
established. That is:
- no ethernet plugged in
- the known SSID not in sight.

First I thought it's not called because squeezelite fails starting(?),
but by accident I found out it does get called - but laaate!
Taking ridiculously long this is fine (for now), but my script fails at
a certain point where it comes to tty:ama0 access.

with a screen attached I could see the three patient attempts to
get online and then enters a (sort of a) fail-state.
(By the way: is there a way to get rid of these? debugging takes years
;) )

Is there a difference in how the uart is set up in that case?
console re-routed? (needed to swap uarts to access an external device)
Are there modules not / unloaded?

Thanks,
any hints appreciated!  :)

PS:
Wouldn't it be great for most of us if it would create an adhoc network,
making the configpage accessible?
Maybe this could be deactivated if it's unwanted for security reasons...

Yes I know - it's sad... But I have hope it'll work together some time.
:-)

I'm on 3.11 vanilla now, analog out wich does very well for my
purposes.
Tried the audio version, but there were lots of hicks and artifacts.


My next issue is boot time - are there ways to get it up faster?
Fast SD for starters, I guess... :-P
But there may be other things?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.10

It works!!! :D


Code:


  # mono - Generated by piCorePlayer
  pcm.!default {
type route
slave.pcm "plughw:0,0"
ttable {
0.1 1
0.0 1
1.0 1
1.1 1
}
  }
  



output field empty on sqlite and alsa pages
EQ off

Don't know why - this is somewhat how i started - but I'm happy now.
It did survive a reboot.

thanks and
good night!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.10

2017-02-23 Thread Benicz

thanks - but it is what my conf is as well.

I don't really know how to act with these groupbuttons "Plug" and "Card"
- as we have no chance to revert them, once set...
And - by the way - I have the equalizer off ;-)
What exactliy am I supposed to click and do after turning off the EQ -
"ok for back" or "cancel to change output setting"?
What is your output setting on the squeezelite page?
sysdefault:CARD=ALSA or default or Default?

While fiddling around I had it once working - till the next reboot :-/
thanks for helping...

Hi!

first of all thanks for the latest updates! :-)

BUT:
coming from 3.02 (or so), I an now expieriencing mono output on the
extra Asound page doesn't work anymore.
I just get stereo whatever I change the settings to, and it used to be a
nobrainer...

Can you imagine this as a bug, or point me in any direction?

thanks in advance!

edit:
forgot to say:
this "just uncomment the last six lines" solution doesn't get me mono as
well. :-(

Yes, "third-party triode" is the key.
Spotify works like a charm, despite searches and "my music" not being
synced with other devices (pray).

And I'm more and more enjoying multiroom-youtube as well ;-)

I see, thank you for your answers.

I'm working on a portable device... ;-)
So I'd like to use it more or less anywhere and don't want to change
everybody's security settings first.

maybe I'll add another script ontop then for now :-D

But Im' happy you are aware of that "problem".
pCP has become so elegant, it would just be wonderful to easily add
other SSIDs.


All the best!

Hi!

I'm using picoreplayer as a fantastic and imho perfect multiroom audio
solution. great fan!

I'm planning a device for usage not only at home.
I don't know if it's coreLinux-specific, but an option would be nice to
enter information for additional SSIDs so it would connect automatically
when I'm somewhere else.
Adding it do wifi.db (and making a backup) didn't work.

Another great feature (especially for first-time installation aswell):
create an ad-hoc wifi if no (known) network is available.
Actually many devices are behaving this way nowadays...

Any chances of realization?


All the best!
