Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Adding an USB 3/4G dongle to PiCorePlayer how to?
Hi Doggod, Adding a 3g connection might be possible but it might alsa bring you into other troubles. PCP isn't just 'a linux computer' , PCP is based on core, or tinycore, or picore. These are linux distros specifically tailored to be very small and able to run without a regular harddisk. With everything running in ram, it is ideal for a task like an audioplayer on a pi, but is less aimed at supporting every hardware. read at tinycorelinux.net Also PCP isn't developed to be very secure, so if connected to the internet directly , you need to know what you are doing and probably want to maintain a firewall to block quite a lot. I would suggest to use an other way to connect to the internet, like modem/routers provided by ISP's and a home LAN. If the 3g option is your only option, perhaps take a look at openwrt, and use your pi as router in a more supported way. But still, if you really want it , it might be possible, and do not let me discourage you .

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Wireguard in PCP
So would a 32 bit version be much easier to compile ? If I undestand correct, The modules do not need to be compiled in the kernel, and 32bit userspace programs can even run with the 64bit kernel. (https://www.wireguard.com/compilation/) But correct me and explain, if needed. I am not into developping software Anyway it is a test first of all, so if it needs to run on a pi 2 or less and proves to be functional, we can decide on improvements later on.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Wireguard in PCP
Recently I experimented with wireguard, and found it to be quite simple to get woking and it is a lean VPN. As PCP isn't built for security , a VPN could be a safe way to connect to your PCP setup from hostile networks. Searching for wireguard in this and the core forums makes me believe it isn't been discussed jet. Has anyone tried it and can post the results, Or can anyone help me to get a compatible binary for PCP ? I do not compile myself, but there are quite a lot of supported versions already : https://www.wireguard.com/install/ and wireguard made it into the kernel. https://itsfoss.com/linux-kernel-5-6/ So I assume it is not impossible or extra difficult to get it working with pcp.

[SlimDevices: Unix] USB disks not remounted on a software reboot
I am preparing my new LMS server using a : Pi4 ( 4 GB) , PCP6.0 fresh install, new powered USB3 hub, 2 or possibly more usb3 disks And after some powercable and powersupplyunit problems I have a stable HW platform, Copied a few hundred gig with no visible issue. And although the disks are always auto-mounted on a power-up boot, I do not get the disks to mount on a software reboot. Before the powered hub, I could not get 2 disks to work reliably though the pi. But with only one disk a reboot was not an issue. Is this issue something that has to do with PCP ? Or is this common with powered hubs ? It seems the disks are not reset, but i am not sure this is true and how I can determine it. Suggestions and solutions are welcome. ( Perhaps I should boot and reboot another linux distro to see if this is HW or PCP related. ) M-H Pi based multi-room audio system powered by PiCorePlayer(s): Pi3B with Phat-dac in a Rasptouch, 2 pi B+ with Cirrus Logic Audio Card, Pi Zero with Phat-beat , and a few other tests...

The sound quality is much debated and criticised, but might be OK to you, depending on music type and setup. And sound quality is best at about 90-97% of the max volume of the pi. And if you can control the soundbar for volume, it will give you quite a reasonable sound at reduced volumes. To minimise cost, first verify the setup to your soundbar and its converter. Output from your receiver , a pi and a mobile phone should all be reasonably enough for the set. Perhaps you linked your pi though the receiver , and the receiver is reducing the output ? Eliminate it in your tests. And verify the volume of your pi output in the software ( lms WEB interface ), and use different audio files, as these can differ quite a lot too. overall bad connections can give a low volume too. Check cables till you know they are OKE. You could do without a DAC. However a dac does not need to be expensive, google pcm5102 on you favourite electronics market, and you should be able to get one below 10 Euro easy. ( a minimalistic one is available from 3 Euro, a ready to plug dac on a HAT about 20 euro's With a dac, sound quality at low levels is noticeably beter than the software dac in the pi. This enables you to reduce volume of the pi, and do not need to grab a remote IR controller for that.

Shart, If you can work with a stationary controller, take a look at 'rasptouch' . I needed something that looked good enough to allow my hobby to enter the living room I bought the case only and put in my own RPI 7" display, pi and dac, to keep cost down. If you do not connect it to an amp, you do not really need a dac and its wire. I do use it as my LMS, so found I had to wire it to the network to reliable feed multiple players. But if used as controller only, or using the local squeezelite player , wifi is sufficient in most cases. As a portable controller we use squeezer on phones and tablets in parallel, I think it is close enough to jivelite to get it in minutes. And the 'we' does indeed indicate the less tech savvy members of my family do use it too without difficulties. Recently I worked with a pizero-w and a 1.5 inch screen powered from a powerbank. And it got me thinking that a portable pi and screen combo could do as a controller too. however, an attractive casing for such a set set including batteries is not an of the shelf product . But I find it very comfortable to use dedicated hardware buttons , and it could double up as headphone player. Let us know what you decide.

Indeed 4 Ohm car speakers were developed to work with a relative low voltage swing of a 12 volt rail. 5 Volt digital amps have a maximum theoretical swing of 10 volts, so are geared towards these 4 ohm speakers. I am quite pleased with these small amps, easy efficient and enough for lots of deployments. But it might not be enough sound while driving you camper. It helps to power them at the max voltage of 5,5 Volts with decent wires and capacitor.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite on a Pirate Audio 240x240 screen
I have to learn more on SPI too but looking at 'this' (https://pinout.xyz/pinout/spi) the BMC 7/8 are for SPI0 and there is a full second set. It looks like a chipselect, where 2 slaves can co-exist on the same serial bus, and the SC directs which one is addressed. The 1 you have set might be the address on the SPI0. But also I'm a bit out of my depth here. And if I am right on the chipselect, technically it could double up to 4? displays ? Perhaps the HW guru's of squeezeamp wil pass by and have some ideas on this. I just reread your older justboom tinyamp posts. How does this pirate audio 3w board compare to that amp on 5 volts ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite on a Pirate Audio 240x240 screen
Chill, The modprobes at the right moment do help a lot. Not far in the boot process the output switches to the SPI display. And the flashscreen is quite fast after that - Jivelite seems working OKE Paul- The suggestion of *gpio=25=op,dh* in te config.txt does help. Without it the right channel did output Left and Right at hal volume, like it was in mono mode But the Left channel did output left only, and with some crisp ticks at loud volumes. Still using the generic TI5102 driver though. I did some reading on the used DAC+Damps they are the MAX98357A DAC / amplifier chip. Looking at the typical deployments it seems they are set into left or right or mono mode with resistors. If they divide voltage though or from an other signal.. GPIO 25, F.I. Setting it is needed for proper operation. We can build this into PCP-Gui, and have this config.txt part set when choosing Pirate Audio boards. Chill, Grumpy Bob, Yatsushiro and Paul- , please test with this , and report what results are detected , with what board.

Not exact as from memory but;

Usage = 11% squeezelitelite while playing + about 10 percent for SBPD
and or jivelite.
But since it is polling buttons and serially outputting an animated

With a bit more attention to the music rather than the working of display and buttons, I found the 3W version does not output sound properly using either the generic TI5102 and the HiFiBerry DAC Zero/MiniAMP driver. Left channel does output normally, however the right channel does output at a lower level, and does output content for left channel too. Is if the right channel is in mono mode and adding the 2 signals together. I tested this with a few right-left test files. I did verify the bottom side slide switch is in the stereo ( dual speaker ) mode. I do not know what DAC is used on this card , as I need microscopic photography to read the chips. But it looks like they used 2 separate driver chips, and perhaps 2 separate dacs built in to them. Perhaps the HW switch needs software support in the driver. As I don't own an other pirate radio version, I can't verify much in that range. But I swapped to the Phat Beat in place ( same pi, same SD ) Then there are no issue's and with both driver sets. Your reported slowness on the display is observed too. About 60 seconds into the first song, the display starts jivelite. The observed instability is most likely a connection issue, They always happen when I handled the set. But with working display and buttons I saw the red WIFI icon appear in te lower right corner, and I still could navigate to the settings-extra-picoreplayer-reboot command, and it restored everything.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite on a Pirate Audio 240x240 screen
I got the jivelite working. My install followed Chill his instructions from page 8 But when instructed to reboot after the jivelite install, I did not reboot but carried on with the edits and did a backup and reboot at the end. The first start with jivelite on the display was not fast at all ( zero 1.2 on wireless dongle ) but ended in the display asking for the language.

Hi Chill, The second approach does seem better to me too , as it would be easier to maintain in the future. And thinking of future support, we might want to think about a file describing all options a particular display can have, so supporting software can find the values. When hardware is auto-detectable, Init scripts might fill in these details. With less sophisticated hardware, users can write these files, and support forums can provide examples. Such files should also be expandable to accommodate features we do not know about , like controllable backlight or touch control. I am sure this is not a new concept I come up with, so users at this forum who do know about open software development, can suggest what existing techniques are out there, and how such could fit jivelite and or piCorePlayer . BTW another piece of HW info : https://pinout.xyz/pinout/pirate_audio_3w_amp It does not list how backlight is managed ( 0, pwm, 1 ) , how the amp is enabled ( 0 or 1 ) and how this relates to the versions without an amp, but is is a start for open documentation.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite on a Pirate Audio 240x240 screen
Great work Chill ! I am jealous and still waiting for my pirate audio board. But I am happy to see that almost all the functionality of this board is harvested for pCP. Especially the clock is nice, as I plan to use it as a bed side set. ;-) One thought though, what do we know of the back-light ? It seems a LCD with led back-light, but is that back-light controllable ? And has the hardware design been shared already, so we can see what is used ? Ultimately it would be good if the hardware was detectable, and less tech users could have it automagically configured. I have also ordered a similar 240/240 screen on a Chinese pi hat that also has a touch and a to it. When that arrives ( in a few weeks ) I hope I can reuse most of your work, and add the touch part to it. it has a xpt2046 touch controller ( from the photo of the silk screen ) so we should be able to do something with existing software.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite on a Pirate Audio 240x240 screen
This is fantastic progress ! I am still waiting for my pirate board to arrive, but you might have created a working solution in the mean time. The square resolution is also used on a cheap Chinese PiZero addon I found today. It has a tiny 1.54 Inch LCD with touch , 8 buttons and joystick knob for about half the price of the audio card. It is presented as a game console add-on but depending on its GPIO usage it might be used in more situations. So jivelite on this resolution might get more usage.

Hi team, I have seen the new warnings on proper shutdown of the LMS component in pcp6b7. Although I knew the issue behind it, it made me aware of an upcoming problem, when I add a pcp in my car. Shutdowns should be automatic and graceful to a zero miliamp state, some minutes after the ignition switch is off. Do we have standard shutdown scripts that will shutdown all vulnerable processes and signal a relay to 'pull the plug' ? Do these have a wait period, or can I reprogram these to add a few minutes ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: Squeezelite - a small headless squeezeplay emulator for linux (alsa only)
Whow , 7 years of squeezelite ! and most documentation in one thread. So please forgive me not to have done a full thread read, but to ask the question here and hope to get some answers and pointers from those who know already. For a personal project I would like to build a car stationed PCP instance, with an LMS and local storage all in one pi. However to reduce storage I would like to re-code my lossless home based storage to a ogg-vorbis on-the-read variant. And since I still have problems at home playing ogg-vorbis files, I need to know what the player does support. And if there ar known limitations, what I can do to circumvent the known issues. Call it a feasibility check. My needs are stereo ( joint stereo ) , 128 - 192 Kbit/s preferrably variable compressed rates and vorbit comment to hold the regular track/artist and cover picture. 44.1 kHz-2ch-16bit max output is fine too, as I do not want to do highres audio in my car. So is ogg-vorbis natively supported in squeezelite ? Can LMS pass the files/streams without on-the-fly re-coding ? What windows and linux based tools and settings should I use to re-code to issue free files ? T.I.A.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite for piCorePlayer
Thanks Jeff07971 and ralphy. Indeed Joggler is what I was used to. It has been stable so long and previous upgrades were all done insitu. So I had not enough experience. Also there might me more options now, so the default has to be scrolled too. As a tip for user interface ergonomics , see if you can get the current setting visible in the first view. Ik know, difficult if there are many skins and small screens at the same time. And I know ralphy is trying to keep it as close to the original design.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite for piCorePlayer
Hi all, I have just upgraded my main player and LMS combo to PCP6(b7), from the stable long used 5.0.1 And last task was to make the original RaspberryFoundationLCDscreen really functional So I added jivelite through the giu, all nice and easy, like it should be. But now it is started, and I have selected the 800by480 resolution, I am stuck with a new screen layout. It looks like a landscape Iphone 1.0 with a senior citizen skin ! i.o.w. big icons. I was used to the small Icon - line based skin, but I can not find it. Is it a new default ? And can I revert back when I get tired of this view ? T.I.A.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer & RTL8188eus wifi dongle
I got recent iperf3 on both ends by getting pcp6b7 on both ends. The throughput get to about 42Mbits with a few lost UDP packets using this wifi card and a non-dedicated wifi test network. A 10 minute TCP test shows 34 Mbits average with a peak at 39.1 Mbits It is not a scientific test, but I assume it is enough for some audio to pass, and close to normal values I get out of it with laptops. For me this is about all I can test on a saturday night, and with my experience in Iperf3 I guess the device/driver combo is stable. Shall we do the pi4 test ?

Thanks! Hi Cozbot, If you have 192.168.1.x and 192.168.200.x and not a netmask of 255.255.0.0 (= /16 ) I assume you have 192.168.1.x/24 and 192.168.200.x/24 ans thus a router in between. It is essential to have the router its corresponding addresses mentioned in both hosts, probably as Default Gateway to be able to route between the 2 IP addresses, and the outside internet . I am not sure if all communication of PCP ( LMS, queezelite, jivelite ) is IP based and can be routed.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer and NTP updates
Thanks Paul, :-) I started with the NTPD version in busybox, to see whether it is a continues-time-updater or a one-time-copy program. But it seems the busybox implementation is quite mature, and does sync against a set of NTP servers, including detection for leaps like caused by hibernation. So using a fixed DNS name for an NTP pool is a good starting point, and might not need any tinkering for most users. If we detect the region of internet connection, we could even optimize for counties etc, or leave it for a tweak entry. Overruling with DHCP details that might be available in some LAN's , seems technically more accurate but unnecessary for PCP ( imho ) So I wil see I can test it with my DHCP and NTP server. next year !

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] PiCorePlayer and pi 1B
If your pi 1 has the correct headers, you can use the: WOLFSON AUDIO CARD - AUDIO CARD, FOR USE WITH RASPBERRY PI. (google and find f.i. element 14 ) Its successor for the 40 pin GPIO header is sold-out and no longer produced. But the original version for the pi 1 is still available, and was recommended many times for its audio quality. The original drivers are rubbish, the support from the manufacturer is even less, but we did manage to get good working raspberry drivers from "HIAS", and put support in PCP. see: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?107329-Cirrus-Logic-Audio-Card-and-Wolfson-support-in-PCP-3-20 Yesterday I tested the PCP6.0.0 B7 on my production set ( B+ and CLAC ) and the menu's allowed me to get the card setup in 5 minutes.

And old issue bit me in the xxx again; You can not switch audio outputs reliably while you have the alsa equalizer installed. Best to uninstall the equalizer , reboot, set analogue, reboot, test output, and then move on with another output.

I just screwed up the SD as it had only a 200 MB partition, and had the LMS cache still pointing at /mnt/mmcblk0p2/somewhere while doing the first scan. It ran out of data, prevented any orderly shutdown, and finally did only boot tinycore without PCP sauce. With perhaps 3 gig ram spare it could have prevented the diskspace to run out , and come up with some alternative like a reasonable message.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer6.0.0 - PI4 support
I've got some issue's to get my piCorePlayer v6.0.0-b1 on a pi4x4 connected to a BT speaker ( clip3 ) As it is my first attempt, I am not sure I am not making any beginner mistakes here. So please hint me in the right direction. The set ( pi and speaker ) have worked before in Raspbian Buster, but just converted the set to PCP. Wifi is on , but not configured as I do run the set wired, and to lazy to put a soft-ap on it. 'Scan' does not find anything ( and I made sure at least 2 never connected phones were visible at the same time ) pair , select and forget falldown menus are empty. bt log shows: Code: bcm43xx_init Flash firmware /usr/local/lib/firmware/brcm/BCM4345C0.hcd Set BDADDR UART: **mac** Set Controller UART speed to 300 bit/s Device setup complete RPi Bluetooth Hardware Address: **MAC** Powering on the BT controller Success. Device /dev/mmcblk0p1 could not connect Last message repeated 70 times. Device /dev/mmcblk0p1 could not connect Last message repeated 200 times. The odd thing is /dev/mmcblk0p1 is the block device or partition that was not mounted at first, and after I mounted that manually it continues to warn about it. Is this an error in the software of is the error between the screen and chair ? Anyone got it up and running on this beta and a pi4 ?

Funny detail; Restarted my Pi with pCP from a working raspbian buster setup with squeezelite running , and the running LMS recognized the 'new' player with its MAC and resumed audio in synch with the others playing . Defaults of output through audiojack of course. Feedback to the team: The default wired 1 Gig NIC seems a bit slow to be recognized . 0 sec - power on 18 sec - most relevant software in RAM and starting network (screen output : waiting for network ) 30 sec - link led turns on 44 sec - network initialised: ( screen output ... Done (59). 45 sec - first audio The delay between 18 and 30 seems to be the nic driver that needs to complete the initialization The delay between 30 and 44 seems the DHCP, and I will see if I can find any delay from my DHCP server response. Anyhow, it is not a complaint :-) just feedback. Thank you for the quick start on the pi4 development.
