What surprises me is just that one plugin is able to lock the whole server. I didn't expect that to be the case, I thought LMS ran multi-threaded and individual plugins wouldn't be able to be so evil. I suppose I should consider myself lucky it only hangs for five minutes, but then it is a full-phat x86 processor pegged at 100% utilisation, not a Raspberry Pi.

Generally it ramps up the speed quickly but the CPU has to be busy enough to have no idle states between clock interrupts for the clock speed to step up. Essentially though, if the cpu remains 100% busy and you are not sustaining maximum clock speed then it's likely that the firmware has stepped in to keep the temp down. -Transcoded from Matt's brain by Tapatalk- -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 5.0.0
The Pi4 uses the performance oriented A72 arm cores instead of the efficiency-oriented A53 cores its predecessors used. This means the thermal envelope is going to be pushed hard. Theoretically they will run passive cooled just fine but you will experience throttling. My only concern is heat soak through the rest of the board killing SD cards.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] 16x2 LCD info for LMS?
Information on LMS state would be queried from the server cli via IP (e.g "echo command | nc server:9000). For other things you'd use vgencmd to get pi temp data, or grab some code that pulls weather data from an internet service or something.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Pi or Pi Zero for player?
Imho the only products that make sense are the pi zero w and the pi 3. The pi zero w adds comms capabilities and the pi 3 costs the same as a pi 2 (if you can still get one). By the time you factor the cost of a PSU, SD card, case, and whatever accessories you need the saving between different pi models looks pretty pathetic. >From a power budget POV the pi 3 has higher CPU headroom and can consume more but it's still pretty efficient when idle.

You can fix #2 by either using "shared folders" in vmware to present local filesystems to the VM (then mount the hgfs volume inside the VM), or what I'd probably do is move all the files into the VM anyway, and have *it* serve them with samba.

That's why your choices are either to a) configure a second virtual squeezebox player (aka squeezelite) that is explicitly configured to use the second sound device, or to b) hack the alsa sound drivers to create a virtual "bridged" sound device that actually sends audio data to both real devices underneath, and *then* configure your squeezelite process to talk to the virtual bridged driver instead of either of the physical drivers underneath.. Very much simpler to do the first option, and there's howtos such as the one linked above for you to follow too.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] picoreplayer + usb hd
Everyone has their right price/performance compromise. As the price creeps up you're heading towards Intel NUC territory and genuine hardware x86 processors. Hell, you can pick up a Celeron based HP microserver with four 6gb sata 3.5" drive bays, two gig-e ports and a bunch of USB3 for £120.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] picoreplayer + usb hd
Except .. most USB HDD go to sleep pretty aggressively so the latency on spin up (particularly for high platter count drives) can be in the region of 6-8 seconds. Would bet the qnap will manage this better than a USB HDD firmware does. Network latency should add relatively little to the transaction. Second I would bet the qnap performs better.

Two things. What distro on the pi and how did you setup the cifs mount? Typically a cifs mount involves you storing the password in the fstab.

If you don't do this, it will not reconnect after a reboot, but should still maintain the mount until you explicitly unmount it. -Transcoded from Matt's brain by Tapatalk- -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Transcoding requirements on a Pi?
Lame encoding a single stream for a single group of players will run fine on a Pi. If you want separate streams all separately encoded then you might run into trouble. I might suggest setting a bandwidth limit on the SB3 to force stepping down the bitrate when it joins the group. Then unsync that one and LMS will drop back to sending flac everywhere.

To provide more details; - the software (squeezelite) is the same on all the Pis so they all offer the same file formats natively supported. - the different hardware DACs only restricts the maximum sample rate and bits-per-sample. I.e. 96khz/24bit. All will be more than capable of playing CD audio uncompressed (44k/16b). So when you sync them all LMS will find the lowest common denominator of: - the source file or stream's format, resolution and bitrate - each player's supported format, resolution and bitrate. The default is for LMS to provide the raw source to all players unmodified, assuming that all players have told it they can play that format, resolution and bitrate. End points won't do resampling or transcoding, LMS will produce ONE stream for the whole group in whatever format, resolution and bitrate drops out of the above process. As I said, the wildcard is the SB3. Does it support MP3 or flac? I don't remember. If not you may find LMS being forced to stream full rate PCM audio to all players at the same time. You can do the maths on that!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Two USB DAC initialisation problems
I would agree with you, but I'd be guessing as to what the exact cause is. I've seen devices behave like this before, and it's very much device-specific. Unless you can show that Alsa is kicking off a stream and sending garbage I would definitely think it's the DAC driver. As a general comment I might look at jackd as a way of insulation against hot plug or live sound device changes. It should be able to provide a virtual default sound output path that you can then redirect to whatever physical audio output eventually becomes ready. However, kicking off squeezelite from udev might also be pretty effective and would potentially support multiple independent audio outputs at the same time, assuming the UI could cope with this. -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Two USB DAC initialisation problems
Based on what OS, kernel, and software stack? The udev system should handle initialisation of the DAC if it's plugged in post boot. You should at least see a kernel log message when the DAC joins the USB bus, even if no driver subsequently loads to manage it. -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.10
Easytag is not fully automatic, it gives you the ability to calculate the cddb disc id from a directory full of files (assumed to be a single album) then do a lookup. It's up to you to choose the right match. It's quite powerful and can fill tags from filenames or name files from tags etc. I use it all the time. -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Can't connect to LMS after reboot
Ok I think we are getting away from the point a little here. A couple of things: init.d still works, systemd is required to run non-compliant init.d scripts just like before. Unless someone has modified the LMS startup to deliberately bolt into systemd then its behaviour will still be dictated by the presence or otherwise of files in init.d. Second Telnet is more a generic TCP connection method than a terminal. If port 9000 responds to your web browser, it will respond to telnet. If it doesn't respond to telnet you are pretty sure there's nothing listening on port 9000. Something of course changed, but you need to get a log of a failed LMS startup to debug it. Fwiw my Debian OS on my server has been continuously upgraded since around 2004, through numerous hardware upgrades and I've never had to even consider a fresh install. (There are orphaned config files from a decade ago, seriously. I know, I should clean up, but I now wear this cruft with some pride! :) ) Dpkg is very good at handling upgrades.. -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.
