Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Radio sometimes not working and USB not connected
For everyone so at the end of the story seems that my DAC disconnect the USB whenever the input is switched to another source or it goes into standby. It is annoying, but knowing the problem it can be avoided. The problems of radios not avaialble is a nightmare and there is NO way to solve it or avoid it. Let me say that restarting the LMS always solve, but, there is the need to use a PC or a smartphone. On the pCP LCD there is no way to restart the LMS. The suggestion I got is to write a command to automatically restart the LMS after a while once booted. * I s t h e r e s o m e o m e t h a t c a n h e l p m e t o d o t h i s ? * steff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66870 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108447 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

My Teac seems to disconnect the USB whenever it goes into standby or the input is switched to another. Question: what should happen if a USB DAC is unplugged while playing? I have two USB DAC and in both cases, if I unplug the DAC, the pCP of course stops, but if I plug again the DAC, then the pCP will never restart until I reboot the pCP completely. Sometimes it is enough to restart just SqueezeLite, but not always... random behaviour. Of curse with Windows... no problems. It is not a matter of Power... believe me... I have a FLuke digital sampling multimeter and my 2.5 A power supply never drops voltage below 5 V even during boot process. I connected the Rpi3 and the LCD touch to two different power supplier and the problems is still there. Embedded WiFi, external 5 Ghz Edimax or wired Ethernet... no changes.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Radio sometimes not working and USB not connected
Hi Steff This morning I set up my North Star Essensio dac running USB from a rpi2b and an optical SPDIF from a Satellite TV/Radio receiver. Squeezelite set to start automatically. Switching between either input without any playback problems. Switched the dac off completely, the pi off completely. Switched the pi back on, Squeezelite running. Switched the dac on, USB connection lit up, pressed play on the LMS web GUI, got music. So I think from this experiment I draw the conclusion that the pCP/dac interface is solid. I would suggest your problem lies in a) the WiFi connection (if the Ethernet is the same, this can be disregarded). b) the power supply to the pi is insufficient (I think *DJanGo* is suggesting you need to power the screen separately from the pi). c) the USB connection on the dac is a bit flaky on Linux (test the dac on Windows or Mac OS). The North Star requires to draw power from the pi to function (it's just a handshake; if I isolate the USB power line, then Squeezelite does not start). I can't think of anything else, sorry.:( Ronnie Man in a van's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43627 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108447 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

I see, I know this tool... but it is annoying to search for other tools. How to restart from the pCP itself without having other HW? The DAC is a Teac 503: if the DAC does not receive signals from USB, after some time it goes to standby and the pCP stopd playing must reboot it.

Of course the embedded WiFI is dsabled and I use the Edimax external one.

Ah you have me at a disadvantage, I did not read the post properly, I was thinking this, 24229 I did not realise your were referring to a touch screen on the pi. If you have an Android device you can use this app for the restart of LMS Code: sudo service logitechmediaserver restart command. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pd7l.sshbutton=en_GB I'm sure there must be similar Apps in the IOS world Which dac are you using? +---+ |Filename: 1.png| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=24229| +---+ Man in a van's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43627 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108447 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

In the pCP main page there are: My Music, Extras, My App, Gallery, favourites, settings and quit. No LMS tab. I would be happy to have a button to restart the LMS and the SqueezeLite it is not very intuitive, but it solves. I can see just the option to restart Jivelite and reboot completely pCP Thanks steff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66870 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108447 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Then I think you can workaround the network issue with a custom command that sleeps 30 secs (or so) and restarts LMS. Custom command are executed last at boot. I don't use LMS on pCP and I am far from my players so I can't be more precise on the contents on that script. And for the USB issue, I surmise it does *not* happen if SL has released the audio device before you switch it to another mode. I would try to play, power off or stop the player, change mode on you USB device, and back. If music restart without having to restart SL, then you could: - Always stop of power off the player before switching mode. The LMS plugin PowerSaver will power off an idle pCP player after 15 mins if you prefer. - Experiment with option -C which releases the audio device when simply idle for a while.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Radio sometimes not working and USB not connected
standard 3.22, not the audio one. the power supplier is OK, I am SURE, measured with a 600$ sampling multimeter while powering the Pi3. With the old one, I got the lighting bolt sometimes, now no more... It happens both with wired ehternet and the built in WiFi. Now I am running a WiFi USB dongle to get more bandwidht (I can play 384 kHz FLAC over the WiFi with no problems) Yes, set to use LMS on Rpi For the USB: I confirm that if I switch the DAC input, then pCP stops playing and never resumes until reboot. Looks like the very same behaviour unplogging a USB dongle DAC steff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66870 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108447 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
