Which OS is on the Odroid and how did you install Squeezelite ?

Have you tried any of the other outputs in the Config string ?

Does the card work with any other software player?

Thanks for the update. 

It would better be  

Code:


  sudo tar -C /usr/bin -zxf squeezelite.tgz

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer repository not accessible

2022-12-29 Thread Man in a van


@DELLAMORTE
I'm too old and too dim to understand "networking" I just use stuff set
at "default" mostly.

My suggestion, _-*and_please_ignore_it_if_you_wish*-_, is:

Physically remove the device running PiHole  from your set up
(disconnect from network and un-power)

Reset the Router to factory settings

Make a fresh dowload of pCP (Standard 32 bit) and a new image

Connect the rpi to the router with an Ethernet cable and coninue
installation.

Get it all set up as you wish, if it all works correctly, make a back
up.

If it does not work, then come back with logs and stuff.

If it does work, return your PiHole device to the network (again make a
fresh imstallation of PIHole)

See if everything stays good.

Just a suggestion :o

Always best to ask the question just once really, saves a lot of

Start a seperate thread if you get no answer or the post is lost in the

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Can't connect to my picore install all of a sudden?

2022-12-02 Thread Man in a van


@GIZMO1990
I have installed LMS and Squeezelite using both the default piCoreplayer
v8.2 Standard and the Raspberry pi Bullseye 32 bit lite (using the
raspberry pi imager tool, which enables one to preconfigure the ssh and
wireless setups) on both a wireless enable pi zero and a pizero 2-W.

The latter is quicker than the former, but both are hardly speedy :)

It's not, in my opinion, worhwhile to use a Desktop image on either of
these devices,especially if the only aim is to run LMS.

piCorePlayer is the easiest install, again, imo

I just reserve an IP Address on the Router, although, if the pi is in
daily use, this is hardly necessary (again, imo)

pCP has the

On the Tweaks page is that is of any use.

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

You could run

or 


Code:

sudo apt install libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl 
  


and then repeat the install, or run

sudo apt install

I would 

a) Connect with Ethernet and enter the required wifi details either
before you go to the flat or when you are at the flat, whichever is
easier.

b) Burn a copy of a working configuration to another SD card and check
that it works, take it with you as insurance and if all goes well, leave
it at the flat as a backup, or make a copy at the flat and check before
you leave. Remember a SD card reader :)

As per Jim's reply :)

I would also consider restricting that pi to the 2.4GHz band.

And maybe research a better wireless dongle, that is more Linux
friendly. There is a thread somewhere here ..?

It says in the blurb to use Allo-Boss in the dropdown

I don't have the  dac hat but Allo Boss DAC (and MiniBoss) in the pCP
Audio output device settings selects the correct overlay

According to the web site you need


Code:

dtoverlay=allo-boss-dac-pcm512x-audio
  


maybe find the pCP config file and enter that

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] [piCorePlayer] Turn off USB output when turning off player?

2022-11-09 Thread Man in a van


I switched off my rpi home LMS server

On the rpi3b+ I removed the -C 10 instruction

On the Tweaks page I set Radio Paradise to start playback at power on


I paused playback in LMS GUI

Selected the  un-used input on dac;  the dac goes into standby

Wait for a couple of minutes 

Press the power button on dac; it powers on with the last input
selected. 

I let it go into standby.

I go to LMS GUI and start playback, power on the dac, it self-selects
the un-used input.

I cycle to usb, music plays. 

I pause playback on the LMS GUI and select the un-used input, the dac
goes into standby.

I shutdown the rpi from the pCP Main Page and switch off the power 

Wait a couple of minutes

Switch on the rpi (the dac is still in standby)

The Dac power up, self selects the USB input and after a short pause,
radio Paradise begins to play.

I have not experienced noise of any sort (which was the original concern
of this thread) during any of these preceding procedures

tl/dr go to last line :)

Playing with this today (as I use rpi OS Bullseye lite)

rpi3b+ > Standard pCP v 8.2.0 >  LMS v 8.3.1

Only the v2-HLS repo and Radio Paradise Plugin

Using the Default LMS GUI

I paused playback and waited, the dac did not go into standby

I then restarted playback and used the Power button in the top right
corner to stop squeezzelite

The dac did not go into standby

I then navigated to the pCP Main Page and selected  Stop under
Additional functions 

The dac did not go into standby

I restarted Squeezelite (from the Main Page) and restarted playback;
then I navigated to the pCP Main Page and selected  Stop under
Additional functions again

The dac didi not go into standby.

Edit:

I tried the setting suggested by bpa (which  I thought used to be
default squeezelite setting in pCP) -C 10

and used the power button in the GUI.

The dac did not go into standby

I stopped Squeezelite from the main Page

The dac did not go into standby

I selected an un-used input on the dac and the dac went into standy
after a minute

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] [piCorePlayer] Turn off USB output when turning off player?

2022-11-08 Thread Man in a van


@KITUS

> 

What if you leave the dac to go into standby ?

Which Squeezebox do you have ? Is it a raspberry pi  with pCP ?

You have so many different posts, could you please post a list of your
playback chain, for example, my current one is:

raspberrypi 3b+   > Squeezelite player-Allo Digione HAT >
Quad CDP-2 dac > Active Mackie speakers  

I have run a similar system 

Squeezelite player-Raspberry pi Zero USB > Topping DX3 Pro > Active
Mackie speakers

Both the Topping (like yours) and the Mackies have Auto-sensing and
power down when there is no signal.

I had everything powered from a power strip. 

My shut-down routine was to use a remote software command to stop the
piZero 2-W (sent from a mobile phone) wait a short while for the Topping
and Mackies to de-activate and then power off the strip.

To start up I just powered the strip on and music began to play in less
than a minute.

I think you need something like tihis

https://docs.picoreplayer.org/projects/autostart-squeezelite-from-usb-dac/

which I think I have seen referenced in a reply to one of your posts (or
maybe not:)).

Using the Tidal Desktop app you say

> I see the MQA logo on the screen, yet sampling frequency never goes
> beyond 44.1Khz
> 

This must be either a configuration error or a faulty device

I have trialled Tidal HiFi a few times and using the Desktop app on both
a Mac and  Windows machine I only see  44.1  reported on a Topping E30.

Trialling the Tidal HiFI-Plus on the same equipment I have seen 44.1,
88.2 and 192 rates reported on the E30.

I don't have an MQA dac, (actually I have one that will act as a
renderer, hut needs a firmware update) let alone an E50 and that is one
of the problems with trying to determine what advice/suggestions might
help you to resolve your problems.

The fallback is guesswork a lot of the time:(:rolleyes:

Hola¡

I'm like a cheap suit; all over the place :o, but soon going to bed.

I have a E30 and a DX3 Pro (not the latest versions)

You do seem to be having some problems don't you. I would also say I
find the Topping user manual somewhat lacking and :confused:.

I think you may have a dac configuration problem.

Please report what happens when you connect the dac via a usb 2 cable to
your mac and use the Tidal Desktop app tp play back a hi res file. 

Configure the output for Passthrough and Exclusive mode. Maybe try force
volume later  ?

What is yout power supply for the dac?

This piZero 2-W

Is it in a metal case ?

How did you attatch the gpio pin header ?

I ask because the wireless antenna  

a)  may have been damaged

b) is performance restricted because of the casing.

If bought second hand then the previous owner may have damaged the
board.

If new then obvs, contact the supplier

Just so you are sure :):):):-

One needs to load the rpi Bullseye Lite Image and fill in the settings
for SSH and Wi-Fi ( I just use pi and raspberry for user id and passwd
when testing).

These settings don't work for piCorePlayer and one must unzip the PCP
download to reach the .img

I have just done the recommended tests for my Zero and it appears to
have just fallen of the network like a Norwegian Blue:rolleyes:

Just emailed the supplier to see if I'm eligible for a replacement

Ah, just worked out what you mean, yes it works on the same raspberry pi

Hi Paul, thanks for the info, the old Apple ITunes install (was that for
the Bonjour which accompanied it ?) :o

I'm on Windows 10 Pro, I have no problem with moode.local, volumio.local
or raspberrypi.local. 

I have always had problems with pcp.local, sometimes it works without a
problem and other times I have to resort to IP Address. It doesn't seem
to like my network.

This irritates me, but as I only use pCP on one device for my personal
use, I can live with it.

I tend to use the raspberry PI OS for LMS and Squeezelite and play with
other OS as a way of learning :confused:.  Sometimes I learn big and
sometimes little :)

Keep safe

How did you make the file Julian, which text editor and did you type the

I have done the latter before and in copying  wpa_suplicant.conf.sample
I actually called the file wpa_suplicant.conf.   {notethe gull stop}

2022-11-01 Thread Man in a van


@SAMS

I was "busy doin' nothing" this morning so installed the 32 bit
raspberry PIOS Bullseye Lite on a sd card.

I  used the raspberry pi Imager Tool to download, preconfigure for SSH
and make the image. 
I left the username at pi and used the old, now deprecated, password of
"raspberry"

Powerd up the pi and waited for about 3 minutes for the start-up routine
to finalise and then used PuTTY from a Windows 10 Desktop to SSH into
the pi.

I ran


Code:

sudo apt update 
  sudo apt full-upgrade -y
  sudo apt install -y lame squeezelite
  sudo apt autoremove -y && sudo apt autoclean -y
  sudo reboot



It took a while to complete as there is a kernel update and the old pi
is a little slow compared to a rpi 4b.

The pi appeared as raspberrypi in my LMS and was available for immediate

I'm not suggesting this is any better or different to pCP but it might

2022-11-01 Thread Man in a van


@ SAMS
I used "Headphones" and selected "hw:CARD=Headphones,DEV=0" for the
output settings.

I listen to one album and experienced a couple of glitches in the
playback (milliseconds) but no noise as you describe.

There was some developement of the headphone jack a few years ago and
that was incorporated into the current rpi software . I'm pretty sure it
is in the pCP config file.

You asked about "hdmi" do you use the pi in this manner ?

If the playback is still unsatisfactory to, you then just decide a
budget and do some research.

Or before doing that, you might try another OS (I would suggest
Raspberry Pi OS Lite). 

Use the Raspberry pi Imager Tool to maker the image. Install Squeezelite
and see how it compares :)

Well one obvious way to (maybe) improve the audio quality is to utilise
either a dac HAT or usb Dac.

Depends on your budget and audio set-up.

But what noise do you experience ? 

At the moment I'm listening to headphones on the same model, with no
artifacts yet. I just installed pCP 8.2.0 

I recognise the headphone  output is not the last word, but it should
be, at least, reasonable.

What is your set-up ?

Is LMS installed on the same rpi ?

How is the pi connectedd to the network ?

What power supply do you use ?

It might be possible to improve things without spending too much

2022-10-20 Thread Man in a van


Presuming you are using the Desktop Image, did you use the Package
manager to download Squeezelite (choosing the Alsa version) or just run 

If you wish to to continue with this you will need to uninstall the
Local Player Plugin and reboot.

Now the next question Is why do you want to upgrade the Squeezelite.

I would suggest using it for a while, and see if there is anything
within the Package that you feel may be inproved upon by updating to
Ralphy's latest version.

Of course you wn't really know until you update :p

@brainchild

This morning, whilst eating my porridge I installed Jivelite on an old
Shuttle computer running Linux Mint 20.3

I used the same build procedure that I utilised on an O2 Joggler running
Debian Bullseye.

I have to start it with a command line instruction in the terminal (on
the Joggler I can set it to auto-start to the screen).

This is most likely due to my poor comprehension of Linus foo and being
a "bear of little brain" :)

As one can see there are some errors, I can post the instructions I
followed if you wish

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Picoreplayer can't see my usb stick

2022-10-13 Thread Man in a van


@KOWLOONSIDE
I see from your previous posting that you have had several problems.

Would you mind posting your set-up details ?

Which Mac OS are you using for image download and install, which
raspberrypi version, which power supply for the pi, which sd card is in
the raspberrypi, is the usb stick a new purchase, have you checked if it
is a fake or not ? 

Here are a few more suggestions, based on the usb stick not being a fake
and no current  details of your set up.  Fell free to ignore them :):)

Download the SD Card Formatter 

https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/

and use it to format the micro SD card (use the overwrite format, this
will take a while depending on the card size).

Then repeat the process on the usb stick, again; use the overwrite
format (this will take an even longer period of time)


Delete your current pCP image and download a fresh one, use the standard
32 bit.

Unzip the image and use the Raspberrypi Image Tool  

https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-imager-imaging-utility/

to make the image, there are guides on the web on how to use it

Assemble the raspberrypi with the usb stick insitu before powering it
on.

When you you resize the file system make it at least 2gb

I hope this is helpful

Here is a sugestion; 
when you formatted the stick on a Mac, which partition table did you
choose, MBR or GUID ?

Try a reformat using the one you did not choose, add just a couple of
albums to the disk and try again on pCP

Hi David, are you in Awstralia or somewhere?  (I might want to send the

Is this playback combo connected to the network via Ethernet or
wireless. Ethernet is preferable, but I know wireless will work, but can
be flaky:(

As far as I understand it, the screen connection can be made in two
ways, they both work, but one is better than the other.

A good micro SD card might help,

I think the OP (David) should just stick with v 8.0.0 as the difference
between versions is slight

Good spot :) but I have just made a fresh install, with a usb stick and
got the same result, empty scan.

Doing the Patch Update fixed it :)

OK David, I have got it now :)

Sorry it took so long but I don't use pCP much these days and I had to
sonfigure a rpie 3B and had exactly the same experience as yourself.
:rolleyes:

On your browser, clear the cache

On pCP do the following, this is back to front but worked for me;

On the LMS tab page scroll down to Update Libs and click the box and
follow the instructions (reboot). This does not effect a change with
regard to the scan.

On the pCP Main page scroll down to pCP updates and click Patch update,
follow the instructions (reboot). This does effect the scan.

Do a "clear and rescan everything"

Well using M2P proves that the system works :) Did you change any of the

In your scanner log, the scan is not selecting the music files.

This is mine:

yours has a zero [0].

FYI; It is helpful when posting these sort of files to attach the file
rather than a screen shot, it makes them easier to read  :):)

what are you using for the "on-the-go" usb connection ?

I use the one of these for direct connection to the usb ( hub / drive or
whatever)

https://thepihut.com/products/usb-to-microusb-otg-converter-shim

I only use mine as a player / streamer at the moment, though.

If you have a rpi3b you could try running the setup on that, if it
succeeds, then swap  the card into the Zero :)

I have also run the pizero2w using the rpi4b official power supply using

the Mirror repo is here

This is my log for the new install I made today

I think the 32 bit is often recommended by the devs over the 64 bit,
perhaps one may comment ?

Also, I could not get LMS to restart.

So I made a fresh install and selected the pCP Mirror repro from the
bottom of the Main page

Installed completed without any errors.

I alos updated the libs on the LMS page :)

I suggest that you try the same, see how you go :)

@Vincenzo 

I have to apologise for my somewhat remiss belief that Squeezelite
should autostart in Ubuntu. Well of course it does, but fails (exits)
because LMS starts after Squeezelite :confused:

Today I looked at my Linux Mint istallation and decided to update to the
latest version (my current one is going EOL in March)

I performed the upgrade and installed LMS and Squeezelite.

Then I found I had the same problem as yourself (I must have either
solved this before or got confused with an Ubuntu install I tried a
couple of years ago)

Anyway, I will have "humble pie" for tea 

37392

I did some searching on the internet and could not find a way to reolve
the startup situation, maybe delaying LMS, or setting a "wait for
network" command is the way, but it takes a lot of time to find the
correct method and I'm an old dog and it is only a backup device I want
to keep running.


I remembered something I had configured for a poster on another forum,
and here it is.:)

It works on my Linux Mint and should on your Ubuntu (if you care to try)

SSH into Ubuntu

type


Code:

sudo crontab -e

The "sleep 20" in the crontab boot line is the number of seconds to wait
before actioning the command, if you wish to try a shorter time, then
just adjust the number :)

As I have suggested before, if squeezelite is installed either by the
package manager or, as in your case sudo apt install squeezelite, it
should , by default start when you power up the computer.

Sorry, I don't know Ubuntu, perhaps someone else can help with that.

My Linux Mint is just a back-up, I only start it every few months to
update. Squeezelite always starts.

ronnie

I seem to remember that the desktop version has a sort of start up
folder that one can install programs into. That's the best I can do do,
sorry.

I use this for my Linux Mint, so it should be fine, it's the same basic
process, just a different link :)

Code:


  sudo /etc/init.d/squeezelite stop
  wget -O squeezelite.tgz 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lmsclients/files/squeezelite/linux/squeezelite-1.9.9.1392-x86_64.tar.gz
  sudo tar -C /usr/bin -zxvf squeezelite.tgz
  sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/squeezelite
  sudo /etc/init.d/squeezelite start

Perhaps try this to update Squeezelite;

Open a terminal and SSH into the pi, paste the following lines , one at
a time, and press Enter on your keyboard when you have pasted the line


Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/squeezelite stop
  
  wget -O squeezelite.tgz 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lmsclients/files/squeezelite/linux/squeezelite-1.9.9.1392-armhf.tar.gz
  
  sudo tar -C /usr/bin -zxvf squeezelite.tgz
  
  sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/squeezelite
  
  sudo /etc/init.d/squeezelite start




#If running with no sound, repeat


Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/squeezelite restart



a reboot of the pi might also help :)


Code:

sudo reboot



I hope that helps, I know nothing about the Mojo dac, sorry

Hi Vincenzo 

Glad everything is now working :)

I live in England, my Mother was from Ireland, so I always support their
Rugby team. :)

I do admire the spirit of the Italian side, I had an Italian Auntie, and
in my youth I sometimes used to hitch hike in Italy. :)

Thanks Vincenzo 

I think you should update your LMS to v 8.2.1

https://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/index.php?ver=8.2

If you want to update your squeezelite to the latest version from Ralphy
then I can paste instructions.

It will be later though, I'm now going to watch Ireland v Italy rugby
match on the telly.

A beer and a curry await me (after i put the curry int the microwave :)
)

Do you live in Italy ?

You still have to delete (uncomment the # sign) in squeezelite settings

Hi Vincenzo

Thanks :)

I see that you need to uncomment (remove the hash tag) from the
configuration, maybe also change the output setting

please try; 

replace the output in the settings with

> hw: CARD = DragonFly, DEV = 0


It should look like this


Code:

Defaults for squeezelite initscript
  # sourced by /etc/init.d/squeezelite
  # installed at /etc/default/squeezelite by the maintainer scripts
  
  # The name for the squeezelite player:
  SL_NAME="$(hostname -s)"
  
  # ALSA output device:
  #SL_SOUNDCARD="hw: CARD = DragonFly, DEV = 0"
  
  # Squeezebox server (Logitech Media Server):
  # Uncomment the next line if you want to point squeezelite at the IP address 
of
  # your squeezebox server. This is usually unnecessary as the server is
  # automatically discovered.
  #SB_SERVER_IP="192.168.x.y"
  
  # Additional options to pass to squeezelite:
  # Please do not include -z to make squeezelite daemonise itself.
  SB_EXTRA_ARGS="-C 5"




Save and exit (Ctl+x   Y  Enter )

then 


Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/squeezelite restart



you should see a message about using system control.

ronnie

Do you only have one version of LMS  ?

Is it on the same computer you use for squeezelite playback ?
