Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer 4.0.0
First of all congratulations on the new site and getting the next major release of this awesome software out of the door. I have been testing a clean install of pcp 4.0.0 on the 3b+ for two days now and everything feels significantly faster. at first i could not believe the boot time and thought perhaps something was not loading. the whole platform feels more mature too with for instance the isolcpus option which I have been manually using since day one. i was able to run lms+squeezelite with wifi on the real time kernel without any problems whatsoever. i do not do re-sampling but i thought the red cautionary messages was a little bit too cautious. some of the odd behavior from 3.5.0 (i.e you could not control the pwr and act leds from the terminal) is also gone. in short, a fantastic successor to an already very good platform. very elegant, too. obviously i have not tested everything and i could be wrong but i have detected the following two issues: disable web gui is not persistent after reboot, and i could not assign a static ip to wlan0. also pls kindly provide more information on what has changed with with sox and flac binaries under slimserver. sox from the tce repo still seems significantly lighter in size. anyways thanks again to all devs for their time, effort and enthusiasm. mcduman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66702 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109286 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Hi Paul, You have definitely hit a nerve with the tinycore repo. It should be said that I have replaced the slimserver sox and flac binaries (from when the pyramids were built -hi @mherger-) with those from the tinycore repo (still ancient but at least from when electricity was invented) with fantastic results.

A big heartfelt thanks to the devs for this amazing piece of software. The upgrade went smoothly and the audio version sounds better than ever. My only question is whether there is a difference between a clean install and the insitu update.

Thanks Greg,
To add one more user command, I am changing
/home/tc/www/cgi-bin/do_rebootstuff.sh to read:
if [ x"" != x"$USER_COMMAND_1" ] || [ x"" != x"$USER_COMMAND_2" ] || [
x"" != x"$USER_COMMAND_3" ] || [ x"" != x"$USER_COMMAND_4" ]; then
echo -n "${BLUE}Starting user commands... ${NORMAL}"
pcp_user_commands
echo "${GREEN}Done.${NORMAL}"
fi
and adding
USER_COMMAND_4="" to /usr/local/sbin/config.cfg

Hi, 1. I must have deleted some extensions. While the player is very stable as usual, I cannot see the pi temparature under diagnostics. Which extension do I need to install to read the cpu temperature? 2. I need a few more "user commands" under config.cfg.

Hi Paul, When I check top, one of the cores, mostly core 0 or 2, seems to be doing the heavy lifting: squeezelite, slimserver, ssh, wifi etc is always on the same core. Thats how I got the idea of giving squeezelite the love it deserves. I did not detect a sonic penalty or lag with isolcpus and might as well keep it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce piCorePlayer 3.20
Dear devs, I am trying to give squeezelite its own dedicated core in my rpi3. Here is what I did. 1. Isolate one of the cores (i.e. core 3) by entering "isolcpus=3" under cmdline.txt. After reboot, there is indeed no processes running under core 3. 2. Set core affinity of squeezelite as core 3 by entering "sudo taskset -p 8 $(pidof squeezelite)". Now, squeezelite is the only process that runs under core 3. 3. Make it permanent by entering the command in the tweaks page. Problem is PID of squeezelite changes after each reboot so I have to enter the PID value manually. pCP does not recognize the taskset -c option which would allow me to go by program name instead of its PID. Any suggestions?

i have seen that the following settings are very popular in some configurations based on the argument that: 1. arm_freq, gpu_freq and sdram_freq should be multiples of each other 2. the lower the voltage, the better things are 3. sdram latency can be tweaked for better sound arm_freq=666 over_voltage=-10 gpu_freq=333 sdram_freq=333 sdram_schmoo=0x0220 over_voltage_sdram_p=-5 over_voltage_sdram_i=-14 over_voltage_sdram_c=-6. i applied theses settings and pCP 3.22 boots successfully but did not notice any improvement in sound. any opinions on re. these settings, what they do etc? mcduman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66702 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107352 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
