No, none of them do - one's a Pi 4 mostly running Kodi for playing videos, another Pi 4 runs as a general hack in the workshop, a Pi 3B acts as a network file server with some other tasks. But they do all have Samba shares on them, and access Samba shares on the Windows 10 PC as well as each other.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] PiCorePlayer Samba Password-Mapping network Drive
I've got the same problem. I've just rebuilt my Pi 3B with LMS and external powered hard drive mounted at /mnt/LMSfiles. All done over the pCP GUI from my Windows 10 PC. I've set up Samba shares for the music files and the LMS server data, exactly matching what I had before the previous SD card in the Pi died from a power blip. But... Windows Explorer is saying "Connection refused" when I enter the Id (tc) and password that I used on the Samba setup page. And trying to map the share as a network drive gets the same error. I've been round and round the same loop numerous times, resetting the Samba password, using a plain text source to copy/paste the password to ensure no typing errors creep in, so I need to find what the actual problem is - it's not simply id and password. Permissions somewhere, maybe, or Samba version changes? At the moment I've got four Pis running on my home network, Samba works properly on the other three, and the workgroup name is correct. (Filezilla can access all the files successfully via sftp.) In case it's useful, the file permissions for /usr/local/etc/samba/smb.conf are -rw-r--r-- (644), it's owned by root, and the contents are: [global] netbios name = JukeBox workgroup = MSHOME log file = /var/log/%m.log max log size = 1000 local master = no security = user map to guest = bad user dns proxy = no load printers = no [LMSfiles] path = /mnt/LMSfiles create mask = 0777 browseable = yes writeable = yes [LMScache] path = /mnt/part3/slimserver create mask = 0777 browseable = yes writeable = yes Digital: Raspberry Pi 3B; piCorePlayer 8 + LMS 8; HifiBerry DAC+DSP > Yamaha RX-V2700 > Jamo speakers Analogue: HifiBerry DAC+DSP > Speakercraft MZC-66 > whole house Library: External USB drive Android: Squeezer app Viragored's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32954 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116917 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Thanks once more. The aim is to have a Raspberry Pi running piCorePlayer + Bluetooth + LMS with a small library picked for the occasion, everything on the SD card. And there is no network at all in the venues where the end-users will be meeting so the setup will be completely stand-alone, no screen or keyboard within typing distance! Over the last day or two I've done a whole heap more googling and think I'm almost certainly trying to use the wrong tool for my job. pCP and LMS have a network at their heart - a plug-and-play with no user controls does not. I've been using LMS in various ways for about 15 years, so it was my natural first choice. I have just tried my working setup in a place with no network. Plugging in the speaker produced no sound. Going back home, plugging in the speaker produced music as expected - the only difference was wifi being available vs not being available. And I think that confirms that I should be trying something different altogether. So I'm not going to try and take this any further and instead use a better tool for the job. And again, I really am grateful to you for having taken the time to help me this far. Time for another donation into the tips jar :-) Digital: Raspberry Pi 3B; piCorePlayer 8 + LMS 8; HifiBerry DAC+DSP > Yamaha RX-V2700 > Jamo speakers Analogue: HifiBerry DAC+DSP > Speakercraft MZC-66 > whole house Library: External USB drive Android: Squeezer app Viragored's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32954 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114834 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Thanks for all the advice, Paul. Sometimes I want to hear my hair out!
Today I powered up the Pi with a keyboard and monitor, to have a little
look at what lies inside piCore.
LMS was sending random tracks to the headphone socket, the only player
it had, as instructed in the tweak "Auto start LMS"
Later I turned on the speaker - instant pairing (Argh - tears hair!),
but no sound as LMS had nothing in its list for player SR06151. Log
below if it's not too long (or in the next post if it is) which I expect
will show everything normal.
Is there a way for me to send LMS a command "randomplay tracks on
SR06151", MAC:E0:B7:C5:5B:7C:90, with no network connection being
available? Either after pairing, or after a time delay long enough to
allow pairing to happen if it's going to?
[My goal is a stand-alone setup, in a place with no wifi, with the users
doing no more than plugging in the boxes.]
I should need a tweak like that only once - my final setup can just live
without updates for as long as it keeps on working.
And my fallback remains a cable from the headphone socket to the
speaker, just in case...

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.

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).

Sorry for my poor choice of subject for the post. The challenge is getting as far as the play command. Line 129 in the log file is the play command finally happening. And the music is still playing 12 hours later :-) Before getting to line 129, there have been numerous connect and disconnect signals - Is that the Pi and speaker trying but failing to automatically re-connect? The successful connection occurred only after I had clicked "forget" and then scanned/paired again. The speaker's mac address is MAC:E0:B7:C5:5B:7C:90 At the time this was happening, there was one more BT device within range (mac ending F9) which is an atmospheric measurement device. Is that a contributing factor? Any and every suggestion welcome!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion
I've got pCP 8.0.0 running OK on a Pi 3B+. My BT speaker will pair with the Pi and LMS successfully plays on it. After the Pi has been powered off and started up again, turning on the speaker will not pick up where it left off - in fact it won't play anything at all until it's "forgotten" and re-paired. I've found a couple of similar questions earlier in this thread but the answers there didn't make any difference. I'm guessing the problem is the speaker's own software - I use headphones on a different Pi over BT and they simply resume when powered on. A technical question - is there any way of making the pairing happen without keyboard/screen intervention by a user (perhaps pressing a button to do the pairing)? [The goal is a "black box" that the users will simply plug in, then a minute or two later turn on the speaker, and the pre-loaded music will just happen. No network, or other wires except power on/off.] An alternative question - other people do have BT speakers that resume when powered up. Could anyone share what models they have so I can try a bit of shopping instead of technology?

My goal is to install PCP and LMS on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ Steps I've taken include: New download of piCorePlayer8.2.0.img Verified Checksum Flashed to 16 GB SD card with Raspberry Pi Imager (without any user options) Booted Pi with Ethernet Set up wifi connection Power off, remove ethernet, restart and connect with wifi only Expand file system to full card Click "Install LMS" Error message "There was a error downloading slimserver.tcz"; "Error downloading LMS, please try again later" I've repeated all the above with a fresh download of the .img file, tried a 32GB SD card, and all permutations of wifi/ethernet network connections, image and cards. And then done it all again after selecting the Mirror Repo And I've downloaded the target file slimserver.tcz on my PC, with no issues, so the repo is available from my network And now I'm stuck for further ideas Can anyone help, please?

My LMS is on a Pi 3B, most of my backup drives are on another Pi (original Mk1 B!), and the PC acts as circus ringmaster sending data between the Pis. Transfer speeds vary a lot - Pi 3B to PC super fast (in layman's terms), Pi 3B to Pi 1 is leisurely. If I'm transferring a lot of data, like several GBs from a few DVDs, I'll do it overnight and be pleased in the morning when it's all done. I had to learn a bit about samba on Pi OS when first setting up the backup server. Although initially daunting, it was worth the effort. There are loads of helpful sites around where people explain in nice, clear terms how to do things like that.

Another day, another result I suspect the problem was in my new router which might have been up to some tricks yesterday. The TV is also connected over ethernet and also had some issues yesterday while streaming. All pCP stuff seems to be working correctly today - On the 'Beta' main page I selected DHCP, rebooted and the pCP Pi showed correctly in the table of dynamic IP addresses on the network. Next I set the IP I wanted in the router's table, rebooted pCP and all is good. One difference I noticed from yesterday is that then the router was not finding the host name of several devices, including pCP, but was showing them up as "unknown" followed by their MAC address. Today the host names are all there, as expected (apart from the TV which remains "unknown"!).

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 8.0.0
Hi - sorry if this issue has already been addressed somewhere in the forums, my searches failed to turn up any kind of solution. I've been running pCP 8 and LMS 8 on an RPi 3B. I'd set a static IP address of x.x.x.99. A new router enables me to link the Pi's MAC address to the required IP address within the router. On the pCP main page I clicked "Static IP" and on the target page selected the DHCP radio button, and re-booted >From that moment on the Pi was effectively dead. The router didn't allocate it an IP address from the DHCP range, SSH didn't give access (no surprises there!), just nothing working. I wondered if the SD card had died for some reason so flashed a spare card with a backup image - which was pCP 7, written immediately before upgrading to pCP8. The Pi rebooted as normal from the replacement SD card and all appeared well. LMS even resumed the Spotify playlist I had going in Spotty which was a pleasant surprise. I then went to the pCP 7 main page, through to the Static IP page, clicked the "DHCP" button, rebooted and - - - the Pi once more was dead, exactly as with the pCP 8 SD card. Presumably this is not an issue directly related to pCP 8. Any pointers, anyone? I'd prefer not to start with a brand new pCP install if I can avoid it by some kind of work-around. -[If this issue should really be in a different thread, I'll start one and link to it from here.]- Digital: Raspberry Pi 3B; piCorePlayer 8 + LMS 8; HifiBerry DAC+DSP > Yamaha RX-V2700 > Jamo speakers Analogue: HifiBerry DAC+DSP > Speakercraft MZC-66 > whole house Library: External USB drive Android: Squeezer app Viragored's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32954 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114828 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

I did a factory reset on the phones (something new I learnt today, reset headphones is possible...), deleted the pairing from pCP, re-paired and now Bluetooth re-connection works as before. Something else I discovered is that a recent major update to my Samsung A5 Android phone has done all sorts of things to the Bluetooth, and it's possible the phone was interfering with the auto-connection to pCP. I'd turned off Bluetooth on the phone to keep it out of the picture, then discovered another setting deeper down which enables the phone's Bluetooth to talk to other devices even when Bluetooth is off. The clue was the phone asking if I wanted to pair the headphones, even with Bluetooth off!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion
Background: I have a Pi Zero W that lives in a bit of cupboard roof space in the middle of the house. It's been sitting there for ages running pCP 6.0.0, 24/7, solely serving my Bluetooth headphones on demand. All seems rock-solid reliable, even the wifi and Bluetooth work happily together. Thinking it was time to upgrade to pCP8 and the latest Bluetooth I flashed a new SD card to test on a spare Pi Zero W before climbing the step ladder to the cupboard. The basics are working but the behaviour is not quite as good as what I've been used to. Here's what's happening on the new SD card: * LMS (running on a Pi 3B) recognises my headphones as a speaker, and I can listen to my music. * When I switch on the headphones Bluetooth does not automatically connect. * Clicking the 'Connect' button on the Bluetooth web page works, and the music then starts to play. The previous set-up would simply connect and resume playing whenever I turned the headphones on and disconnection would pause the playlist at whatever point I'd reached. That's what I'd like to happen now. I don't really know where to start looking. One thing I tried was to try some different Audio Outputs on the Squeezelite page, including Headphones, HDMI and USB audio. I've currently got "None" selected, but there was no change to the Bluetooth connection whichever I tried. Attached are two BT log files, one from before the extensions update (as per Paul's post a few before this post) and one from after. My headphones show up as "WH-1000XM3" Any help to get the automatic connection going will be greatly appreciated. +---+ |Filename: BT log b4 extensions update.txt | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35370| +---+ Digital: Raspberry Pi 3B; piCorePlayer 8 + LMS 8; HifiBerry DAC+DSP > Yamaha RX-V2700 > Jamo speakers Analogue: HifiBerry DAC+DSP > Speakercraft MZC-66 > whole house Library: External USB drive Android: Squeezer app Viragored's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32954 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114834 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 8.0.0
Step 1, back up the SD card
Step 2, update the www interface ('cos I forgot to do it before step
1!)
Step 3, pick the "Full Update" option from PCP updates on the main
screen, and click "Next" whenever needed
Step 4, rockin' the music once more!
The only unusual thing I noticed was the "Space needed" figure was as
expected; the "Free space available" figure was huge, so my USB external
2TB drive (with about .7TB free) must have been counted in as well. LMS
and my library are all working as they should, so - Very well done,
guys!!

Or something similar, anyway. The most recent was a few days ago, the previous time around mid-last year. Each time LMS just stopped while playing something (the recent stop was while streaming BBC Sounds app). The pCP home screen showed LMS stopped, but everything else working. Restarting LMS from the pCP screen didn't resume playback, with LMS still being reported as stopped. Rebooting the Pi brought everything back, with streaming resuming from where it stopped. And everything is still performing properly now, several days after the crash. As far as I could tell, there were no LMS logs retained from before the crash so I didn't attempt any further diagnosis.

Your outline would be fine for me. The destination picker would be a bonus but I would be OK without it. Copying full card contents would also be OK, but copying only allocated partitions would be another bonus. My use case: copy the SD card to a drive on my Windows PC where a SMB share is the destination, then use Windows Explorer to navigate to the target location so I can copy the target address from Explorer and paste the destination into pCP. Sample destination paste: \\OO7\Software store\Raspberry Pi\piCorePlayer6.0.0\Backups Will I run into problems because of the spaces in the destination?

When I first set up LMS on my externally powered HDD, I found the disc was having to start up any time I wanted to use LMS even for things that didn't use my music on the HDD (such as internet radio). At the time, that was the main reason for me to move LMS to the SD card, and I'm very happy with the way everything works.

Weebly provides a WYSIWYG interface for its users which makes the whole process HTML-free for them. Turndown would have had to plough through a huge amount of generated stuff to extract the text, and seems to have done a pretty good job. Presumably images have to be handled manually? The sites that Weebly generates detect the viewing device's screen type and operate accordingly - if you open that page on a phone it's displayed differently to how it would be on a desk-top, so the images and site navigation are usable either way. Easy for Weebly's users, at the cost of huge amounts of source code for the generated page!

Here's a sample Markdown file based on the text of my web page guide to setting up Bluetooth on piCorePlayer. (The forum software won't upload .md files, so I added .txt). That was really quick and easy to do, maybe half an hour to find out how to use Markdown then copy, paste from the web page and add the formatting. It would only take maybe another 15 minutes to add the illustrations - if ever that turns into a good idea. For me that absolutely validates your proposal to use Markdown.

I wonder if my interpretation of "documentation" matches others' expectations? I was thinking of products that could take someone new to the world of RPis, pCP and Linux through all they need to do to end up with a working system, and without getting any further into stuff like the command line than is absolutely essential. So I had no focus at all on code, only on steps to get from the start to enjoying music. A while back I knocked up a sample web page on how to set up pCP Bluetooth - https://wbeachdave.weebly.com/bt-on-pcp.html (Because I'd had a bit of a struggle to get Bluetooth working the first time I tried to do it, and thought some more documentation might help.) If I get the time, I'll see if I can turn that into a Markdown document.

This can be automated with rsync and cron Someone with my skill level (pretty much just a consumer as far as Linux products are concerned) finds it easier to take the SD card to the PC, back it up, then return it to the Pi than start on the path to discover what "rsync" and "cron" mean. I tried using Filezilla and WinSCP to copy the files over the network to my PC, but they both failed, apparently because of permission issues.

I'm a bit of an enthusiast for backup copies of valuable stuff. And recently I was pleased to be able to restore from PC to SD card with a fully working and only slightly out of date LMS. I never did find out what caused the RPi to crash and corrupt its SD card, but the same card is still chugging on. The SD card has been home to the cache for several months now, running 24/7 and has been reliable except for that one crash. My RPi file system is also expanded to the card's full 8GB, after my eventually working out that the problems I was experiencing during LMS scans were caused by LMS needing a bit more than the storage that was then available (IIRC, that was 2GB at the time). The minor downside is that backing up the card takes rather longer than it did - possibly a bit under 30 minutes.

This is SO helpful! Thanks Paul. I've now got sound out of my headphones
with their BT adapter.
To get this result I turned off the power for this player on LMS and
checked that nothing was playing to pCP. Then on the player BT page, set
the device type for the BT adapter to "Speaker". (The Squeezelite
settings are USB audio out, with output setting hw:CARD=ALSA,DEV=0)
Then I turned on the headphones BT adapter, which paired with the
player. Refreshing the LMS web interface brought up the BT adapter as a
player - and sound happened!
In case it's useful, here's the BT log.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] How to for LMS 8.0 on piCorePlayer (on PiZero)?
I'm still pretty new to all the pCP stuff with LMS, but thought I ought to have a go at moving on to 8.0.0 I'm totally delighted with how easy it all was, using SSH and the steps in the "How-to" guide (changing the numbers to 8.0.0, as advised above). Only a minute or two later, version 8 is running happily. I'm full of smiles, and offer heart-felt congratulations to the pCP team who have made things so accessible for people like me who know only a bit about the insides of computers. Very, very well done!!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 6.x.x - Bluetooth
Continuing from post #63:
I was failing to get sound out of headphones with a BT adapter, from a
Pi Zero W. I've dug out a Pi Model B with WiFi and BT USB-dongles that
all seems to be working OK. I can listen to headphones plugged into the
Pi B's jack socket.
BT pairing was successful, but the BT headphones stay silent. Having
again read through all the previous posts, I've tried:
* Updated to latest patches, both pCP and BT
* Stopping LMS player and powering off before each connection attempt
* Set Squeezelite -C (Idle time before Squeezelite closes output) to 5
* Tried several Squeezelite permutations of "USB Audio" output and
"Output settings"
* Tried "Analog audio" out
* Selected the three variants of device type for the BT adapter, with
all the above (which takes hours!)
Here's the BT log after the most recent change of Squeezelite output
selection and reboot. If anyone can point me to what else I need to do
to get BT sound working I'd be a very happy chappy!

The player name shows up on the LMS web interface, and LMS is streaming some music to the player but there is no sound from the headphones. The BT adapter device is called a Griffin itrip clip, and can handle phone conversations in addition to streamed music. I'm wondering if this is why I can't get it to play the LMS music stream. I don't follow much of the content, but it seems the log file shows the adapter being recognised as something other than a BT speaker, and attempting to set up speaker mode.

I don't have enough knowledge to understand the implications of there being no special driver and music path having to be set via a mixer. The makers (if I've understood their web site correctly - link below) describe the "HiFiBerry DAC+ DSP" as being like the DAC+ Standard and Pro series, to which they've added the Digital Signal Processor input and output. https://www.hifiberry.com/shop/boards/hifiberry-dac-dsp/ I was hoping (naively, probably) that selecting in Squeezelite the output option "HiFiBerry Dac+ (and Pro, AMP2)" might make the board spring into life. Is that just wishful thinking? I was expecting the maker's site to provide a download of the install and operating instructions, but haven't found it so I'll just have to wait and see what eventually turns up in the box. I've seen mention of ALSA mixer in the piCorePlayer setup, and have noticed the "Card Control" button on the "Squeezelite Settings" page. Is that button likely to be where I'd need to start setting up a mixer to control the card, if picking one of the existing HiFiBerry output options doesn't work?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 6.0.0
Hi all. I've just installed piCoreplayer on a Raspberry Pi 3, pretty much aiming just to prove the concept for when the day comes that my slowly dying Squeezebox Duet finally dies and has to be replaced. Frankly, I'm astonished that the team who run this project have produced such an outstandingly good piece of work. The GUI is very well put together, the software works like it should, and I've now got a complete Squeezebox alternative with LMS running on my network. I dug out an old Soundblaster USB DAC which is hooked into the hifi, all my music is on an external HD (>1.2TB), SMB share available for updating and backing up, and all so comparatively easy to do! Huge thanks and congratulations to all involved! Not everything was totally straightforward, however, and I have kept a note of the various steps where the user guide might benefit from a little "Tweak". How would I let the team know about that? And yes, I'm quite prepared to do whatever is needed to improve the wiki if that would help. The concept is now proved, and I'll soon be shopping for a DAC to replace my Duet receiver. Is there a thread somewhere that I should be using to pick up wisdom on what's available on the market? I've got some minimum requirements - ethernet or USB in, high quality analog out, digital out, and a second analog out would be a bonus. Last words: Great job, team. And I'll be off to PayPal very shortly!!
