Increase the network delay on the WiFi page.   Default is 50 seconds,
but we are finding many routers are taking longer sometimes.

my preferences with pCP:

normal kernel > audio kernel (with hats)
no mmap > mmap (with hats)
pi zero > other pi's (as a player only)
clean 3v3 > clean 5v (if no use for usb/hdmi)

I have a problem with wlan on Pi4/4GB when running beta 6.0.7. I am
making the configuration, saving it, than the wlan connection is
established, i can see, that pi received the ip for wlan, than shutdown,
i am removing the network cable and ... when booting the wlan connection
is not established, i have to connect the network cable. I am using the
original pi ps, pi is only player with digi+pro, i have another wired

One observation - normal kernel with hifiberry dac + pro or digi + pro
sounds for my ears better, than the audio kernel, but when i am using pi
with one usb dac, than the rt kernel sounds much better. I don't know
the reason for it.

We support the hifiberry ADC products.  This one might take a little
work.  They are using the HAT eeprom to automatically load drivers, I'm
not sure we have that mechanism in pCP  (Never researched it)   But
there are not new drivers published for the card, so I'm not sure what
they are using, but the drivers are likely already in the kernel.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer6.0.0 - PI4 support

[ian_heys]

Is there any chance of supporting this device in pCp 6.

Just exploring streaming high quality analog audio say FM Tuner, CD
Player, Record Deck etc etc 

The streaming seems to be an available feature on the Tweaks page - but
the support for this device isn't there.

Just experimenting.

I know I can do it from Raspbian but I was thinking of something running
on a small OS, continuously, in the background,

I think I misunderstood you. The name "Teufel Mute BT" is the name of
the headphone that is distributed by them when connecting through
Bluetooth. I can not change it.

The disk on the Pi is in the moment an ExFAT filesystem, but this should
be uninteresting as it is a samba share for the outside.
On my Mac it is an APFS filesystem.

What is the format of the two disks?  I encountered various issues like
this (see 'here'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?110496-How-can-I-maintain-a-compressed-copy-of-my-music-folder=939901=1#post939901)).
Possible issues included different timezone interpretations and
different timestamp precisions.  The latter is important because
although the timestamps may have been updated to match, the differing
precision on the two disks means that they are not exactly the same.  I
don't recall for certain - does FAT have a precision of 2 seconds maybe?
So 'identical' timestamps may appear to be up to 1 second different. 
The solution with rsync was to relax the time comparison to an accuracy
of 1 second.  Is this an option in CCC?  Does CCC keep a log of the
reasons for each file being updated?

Ok. For me it would be no problem if the name for the player will be

Okay,  First update the bluetooth extensions, I made a few changes, to
give a bit more information.but for sure spaces in the player name
break it.  I'll have to add a regex in the html to make sure there are
no spaces.  I'll have to research if space can be allowed, but I am
using the device name in the asound.conf, such that you will be able to
use alsaequal with bluetooth devices.

Yes, you can share the disk using samba on the RPi.  But again I've
never had much luck with samba shares on any of my Macs - something to
do with the SMB version?  Try it - you might have better luck than me.

I don't believe that FileZilla supports synchronisation, but the Mac has
rsync that can work with network disks, and I'm sure there are other
tools for syncing over the network.  It'll be a lot slower than over
USB3, so perhaps do an initial rsync over USB.

That was the case the last time I tested it. As I tday started the Pi
there was already an entry for my headphone and it was connected as I
switched the headphone on.

And that is not the case. There is a green checkmark on the bluetooth

shown in the players list.

I've installed BT 50 times, but I just did it today, and did it a bit
different and found a little glitch in the install routine.

But if that line was in .filetool.lst, then it must be something
different in your case.  To be clear, you are saying that after a
reboot, there is nothing shown in paired devices? 

You should be able to select the player in Jivelite, but only when the
BT device is connected.

Ok, this seems to be interesting. I think it should also be possible to
mount the disk via smb on the Mac if this is installed in piCorePlayer?
So I only have to let CCC to do the synchronization automatically when
the disk is mounted.
Or is FileZilla able to do a synchronization between both?

I looked into .filetool.lst before and there this line is already the
last one. But I added it.

I also saw that before the change the data for my headphone is displayed
on the piCorePlayer webpage as connected. Only in Jivelite I can only
choose the local Squeezeplayer and not the bluetooth headphone as a
player. Or do I have to do something else that it is displayed here?

I think I tracked down this problem.  I'll fix it before I release the
next beta.as in interim, since you seem to be okay with ssh.  Do
this.


Code:


  echo "var/lib/bluetooth" >> /opt/.filetool.lst
  pcp bu
  



Now pair your device, save and reboot.   Let me know.

I also use a Mac, and I adopted EXT4 for my music storage attached to my
RPi4.  FileZilla (on the Mac) allows me to copy files to my music disk
over the network, with a fully intuitive graphical interface, without
ever having to disconnect the disk from the RPi.  Despite the Mac doing
most things very well, I was never able to get disk sharing and screen
sharing to work well enough when I had LMS on a Mac Mini.  Using
Filezilla to access network disks was a revelation!

My Pi 3B+ didn't had any problems, but OK it is only USB 2, maybe there
is no problem. I will try it today with a 2,5" SATA SSD in an USB 3
enclosure.

I run a samsung T5 500gb ssd attached directly to my pi4,  Formatted
ext4.  Works every-time.  I've not done a throughput test, but this is
my build computer, and it handles compiling jobs just fine.  Trim
support is not real good on this drive.   But yes M.2 drives (Or rather
the enclosures) are very problematic on the RPI boards.

Let it try to startup and get through the delays of it trying to mount,
and then look in dmesg.  There may be some clues in there.

The 'Desktop OS of Raspbian '

Have you thought about installing Squeezelite on a Raspbian Desktop (the

The link was to illustrate that not everything works with a raspberry pi

Some of the chipsets in the usb connectors sometimes don't don't
function corrrectly when connected to a pi.

You need to read the threads, not just skim them for your problem.

I suggested trying usb2 because those outputs are not connected to the
usb3 chip thingy on the pi (technical term there) :)

Only via the USB 3 slot of the Pi 4. I checked if the lightning symbol

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer6.0.0 - PI4 support

I still have problems with starting up piCorePlayer. I have attached a
USB 3 enclosure for a M.2 SSD on a Pi 4. This is partitioned with MBR
and inside is an ExFAT filesystem (hfs+ is also not working).
At startup piCorePlayer is waiting at USB mount forever. If I start
without the SSD piCorePlayer is comming up, but LMS is not running (that
is OK).
When I attach the SSD, it will be mounted (shown on the piCorePlayer
webpage for LMS), but if I make a "ls -al /mnt/Musikbox" the shell shows
nothing and is not comming back to the prompt.

Before it was running for a few days without a problem, but yesterday I
did a shutdown of the Pi and attached the SSD to my Mac to sync the
music with my iTunes library. I think 30 files were newly copied to the
SSD. Then I attached the SSD to the Pi and started it up again.

I tried to use a GPT partitioned SSD also with hfs+ or ExFAT, but that
didn't change anything.

I now really have no clue what can be the problem!

That might be better asked in the squeezelite thread.  
https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?97046-Announce-Squeezelite-a-small-headless-squeezeplay-emulator-for-linux-(alsa-only)

But, If you put the name of a mixer device for your card in the -U
option, squeezlite will tell Alsa to set the volume at max.  I'm not
sure if that is max 100% or 0db.   If you put the name of a mixer device
for your card in the -U option, squeezlite will use that mixer to adjust
volume.

Either option, you need to know which mixer control is your digital
volume.

No that was just an example, I normally run hw: :)

With some usb cards it's a case of "try what works".

The pCP devs often recommend that if running LMS and Squeezelite on the
same pi then Standard is simple. I'm simple :)

If you want to play with the Kernel thing, then go ahead. It's just a
personal choice.

I have never found any difference, let alone any improvement (maybe I'm
deaf and simple :(:):p:eek:)

Thanks for your reply guys,

@Mann in a van :

already did this :

29234

Do you suggest to use front:CARD=C2,DEV=0 instead of hw:CARD=C2,DEV=0 ?

In LMs i already did put volume 100% option, but i'm thinking this more
a trick from the client than a real solution from source.
What do you think ?



@paul

Not sure to understand

As I said I don't have HW volum control on my DAC,
If i put hw:CARD=C2 -V in "various option" i have an error when restart
squeezelite.

-U option show me no card/control

pCP is quite a bit lighter weight.

SW Mixer is the default:  You should be able to set your mixer to 0DB,
and save the settings.Done. 

For Hardware Volume, you need to know the name of the hardware Volume
control.  In most cases it is PCM for USB based products.  But expand
the -V option on the squeezelite page, and you will see all of you mixer
controls.you will have to select the correct one.   In the case of
the below example, the JustBoom volume control is "Digital"

29232

To disable the volume control, I believe you can just set the -U
option but again, you just have to tell it that what your mixer
control is.

Some users are using openvpn.  Just make a script and put it in the user

Kinda a stretch and not sure if it's the right place.  I put v6 on a 3b
with no issues. 

I vpn to my house to access my music, typically use my phone and an
android sb player and remote.  Is there a way to implement vpn at boot
so i could connect when not on my home network?  Im using audiophile
versions at the moment but would consider making a remote box for my car
or when i "DJ" at remote locations using either build.

If you are doing grouped players, Phillips Group players plugin handles
device connects and disconnects much better than stock sync.  I would
recommend it.

Is the pi connected via wifi, or is it wired?

My LMS is on another PC, same LAN, no Phillips plugin.
Will check the logs.

When it freezes, it's the whole pi.

Hello!

Today I installed my Pi 3B+ with the new 6.0.0b8 from ground up as I no
longer use LMS on this Pi.

Everything is working fine! Only my Bluetooth headphone is not working
as expected.
I switched on Bluetooth of the Pi, activated Bluetooth daemons and
paired the headphone. It was on the list and the headphone showed me
that it is paired and connected. Then I did a backup and restarted the
Pi. The headphone is not connected automatically as in the previous
installation. The list of paired devices is simply empty. 

I did this five times and nothing is changed. Also I looked into Players
directly after pairing, but there is no extra player with the name of
the headphone shown. But when I switch off my headphones directly after
pairing and switch them on again, they are connected again.

The free space in the filesystem is 100MB, so there should be no
problems in saving the pairing information.

What can be the problem?

Yes.
People use the feature to handle taking the device between locations and
then have it auto-connect at each.
You have to edit it yourself though.

Now that I think more about it, the syncing issue will need to be likely
watched in LMS logging, or by watching player messages by listening on
the lms CLI.  Where is you LMS server running?.  Are you using Phillips
groups plugin?

As for the freezingis the player freezing, or the whole pi?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer6.0.0 - PI4 support

[gian]

Hello All,

I am trying to investigate what's wrong with this Raspberry 3:
PiCorePlayer v6.0.0-b5 | linux 4.19.75-pcpCore_v7 | piCore v10.2pCP |
Squeezelite v1.9.6-1198-pCP

The system has one USB BT dongle (BT on board disconnected), with two
identical BT speakers connected.

One acts as alarm clock, and the other is in the shower.

While at the beginning I was able to play the two speakers in sync, more
or less without hiccups, now I have to turn off one player (speaker) in
order to be able to listen with the other without interruptions.
If I do so, the player goes on steady.

I also found the player frozen a couple of times... but without log
files, it's not easy to understand what's happening.

Any idea about how can I troubleshoot these problems?

thanks for your time,

-Gian

Why press the button to update squeezelite if your not running it.  I
should re-enable squeezelite if you do that.

Which partitionformat did you used? GPT or MBR? Maybe the other one is
using the 16MB. :-)

Yes, it is initiated, partitioned and formatted. Just one partition
which uses the complete available space.

Did you partitioned the drive when you got it (you should always do it
with new drives, because you don't know what is installed)?
Maybe it is the rest of the drive that can not used for the partition
with the ntfs filesystem because it is too small for a block (it is only
16MB in size).

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer6.0.0 - PI4 support

[Supertramp]

Hi,
I recently bought a WD Red 10TB HDD which I use in a Raidsonic Icy Box
enclosure. When mounting this USB HDD to pCP 6.0.0, the drive gets
mounted as well as a 16MB "something else".

29197

Although all works very well, I am just wondering what this "something
else" could be? The Icy Box enclosure?

PS. I'm using a USB stick for the cache.

Many thanks.

This is not so easy. I got the Pi4B+ 2GB today. Flashed on pCP 6.0.0-b7.
Chosed an USB 2 port connected to the Mutec MC3+ USB. Nothing. No
communicatioon at all. I put in the output setting: 
iec958:CARD=M20,DEV=0 .

I restarted both units several times. No cmmunication. Then I chosed a
USB 3 port on the Pi4 and voilà. It works now.

To sum it up. The output setting ( iec958:CARD=M20,DEV=0 ) is valid. But
it still was a challange to get the communication to start. I have no
patent solution but don't give up. I succeeded eventually, twice.

For what it's worth/Jan

Yes I'm aware of the wonderfully easy way one can add extra storage to
pCP. I simply wanted to not have to keep manually balancing what goes
where on several HDDs. Many thank Claus for your reseach and help. I'm
afraid I'm a bit "long in the tooth" to start getting in too deeply with
Linux programming. I've made too many annoying blunders lately so I'll
give LVM a miss and compensate by splashing out on a new, bigger HDD.

I have ordered another RaspberryPi 4B and will do it in a more
structural way with that one. Today was alot of trial and errors. I will

Hi everyone,

First, I would like to aknowledge the developers for this wonderful OS
that is piCorePlayer.

I just have bought a RPi 4 1 Gb to work with my Allo digione card and it
works like a charm with the pCP 6.0 beta 7. I'm coming from a RPi 3B and
I wanted to make my audio server runs smoothly and RPi 4 is really
improving the reactivity.

Just my two cents.

Have a nice day all :)

Hi I just bought a Mutec MC3+ USB. 

It is a XMOS based device/digital interface that converts, reclocks.

I got it to work with older PiCorPlayer software 3.5.0 on a 3B-pi with
output setting: [ iec958:CARD=M20,DEV=0 ]. I haven't got it to work with
pi 3B+ (5.0.1) or on pi 4B+ (6.0.0-b7)

I am using Beta mode on all. Is there a known, working output setting in
the newer software releases, or do You have plans to add these. 

Finally a million thanks for Your hard work with this excellent player.

I'm pretty sure we violated KISS a long time ago with pCP.  lol

But yes, pCP is designed to be lightweight.   The RPi hardware itself is
really not flexible for mass storage.

I believe pCP and "maximum flexibility" don't go together. If you want 
maximum flexibility, then use something else.

Hi Chip

I loaded the piCorePlayer web interface and on the MAIN page I checked
EXTENSIONS. I then changed from the Information tab to the tab named
Available. Here you can see what packages are available.

The package for LVM is not available in the piCorePlayer repository, nor
did I find it in the piCore repo. Therefore my best tip is to check the
tinyCore forum, but be warned this probably requires some Linux
knowledge to incorporate. I found this:

Time is an interesting factor here. Today I tried my GPT partitioned
drive with a hfs+ filesystem and it was mounted instantly and also
reading the musicfiles ist really fast. I don't know why it didn't
worked a few days ago, I changed nothing in the configuration, it was
only switched of a longer time.

Very strange! But it is great that GPT partitionformat works again!

Yes you can, we can probably run the scripts(Daemon) that they use.  You
just can use the installation script.   Can you start a new thread with
all the detail you previously posted.  That will make it easier to

The lag is causes by something else.   I see it on wired connections
too.   It think it is mostly in the BT transmission *BlueAlsa".

Never could have worked that out myself!
Thanks Paul, seems that's exactly how it's done.

But I think I will have to move my LMS to the Raspberry to get it really
usable.
The way my system is set up, it doesn't work well enough.
LMS is on a NAS on the 2nd floor, living room with piCorePlayer is on
the 1st floor.
The stream has to squeeze via BT from my phone to piCorePlayer, via WLAN
to the LMS and then back to the player..
This leads to a massive lag, and volume control is a nightmare.

But at least now I know how to make it work.
Thanks a lot!

I have not used this - but I think that the way to do it is to think of
that URL as being like an Internet radio stream.

Once you have it working well you could set it as a favourite in LMS to
make it easy to use next time.
