Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Cdplayer plugin in picoreplayer player for RPi3

2017-04-15 Thread bpa

For CDplayer plugin discussion it is best to post on the CDplayer thread
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?47288-Announce-CDplayer-plugin/page1

The CD drive must be plugged into the server running LMS 

It is not clear whether you are running LMS on RPI3 or LMS on another
server because of problems with LMS on RPI3.

I do not know LMS picoreplayer but there are other user who have
installed cdplayer on picoreplayer - if you post on the CDplayer thread
you will get a better chance of a good reply rather than asking about a
CDplayer Windows install on the Linux forum.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 2.00

2017-04-15 Thread jtudor

I want to change the Shairport startup settings so it doesn't have the
'-c Digital' option on startup.

I can't find anywhere to configure this in the web menu, but I don't
mind doing it manually in the filesystem.

Can anyone tell me where I can change that option, and how I would back
it up to the card to make it persistent afterwards?

Cheers
Jamie

I didn't want to discourage you I simply wanted to understand better if
you had some info on why an orange pi would be a better target.
We were contacted some time ago by a guy who managed to port
piCorePlayer to the beagleboard - I don't know if you can use any of his
work for your development.
The scripts he made can be found here:

If pCP is your LMS server, then you need to install CD-ROM kernel
modules from the piCorePlayer sourceforge repo.  You can do that on the
extension web page in pCP.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.20 Beta

2017-04-15 Thread M-H

To help you all with the great efforts, I have upgraded my pcp domain to
3.20B5
Sofar I have found nothing I could not fix with the common sense and
previously posted solutions to known problems.

2 issue's areas however I would like to mention:

1) when using an odd 128MB  ( ! no typo !)  tf card, I was unable to
extend the file system to use 'the whole' card. It seems if there is not
100 KB extra available, the script claims the extend is not possible.
Perhaps that part can be reviewed and give me the extra MB's to install
something useful like jivelight and NTFS USB MSD access ?
BTW it is a workable setup for a B+, 2b, 3b with wifi dongle and
phat-dac, and I assume the  zero would be OK too. Kudo's to those who
keep PCP small !

2) the rebooting script from the main page, refers to the squeezelite
name rather than the host name, in the confirmation box. A small thing,
but the host is rebooted, and with that the player is restarted.
And then the web page keeps stuck at the /cgi-bin/reboot.cgi , that
allows an enter to reboot the PCP again WITHOUT confirmation at all.

As it is still beta, this might all be solved before others do hit this
new release.
I'm glad I can help with the beta tests

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Netbooting piCorePlayer 3.x

2017-04-15 Thread M-H

Hi Huxmut,

Indeed the case you linked is the one that allowed me to have a pi in
the living room, and does use the sd-extender.

On the subject of netbooting ; it would be awesome to have an empty pi
to learn all configuration over the network.
Firmware, OS, configuration and executables all over the net. A central
server, preferably a PCP , with the needed services and storage could
centralise all that.
Unfortunately it would be wired ethernet only at this moment. And I use
all my players and LMServer wireless at this moment.  ( I know the
disadvantages and risks, but it works for me )
I have been thinking about wifi booting, but that would be quite more
complex ( SSID, passwords, chipsets supported ) and impossible until the
bootloader is extended for this. And frankly I do not expect the
raspberry foundation to put time into that wifi-netbooting concept. A
recently purchased wifi printer however showed me it is possible to
recognise and configure a factory default node to work on the wifi
network without memorycard, USB connection or key input on the device.
So technically it is not impossible. 

Still parts of the central repository can be done with scripting and
pushing config files to a central node. It would be similar to the
insitu upgrades and also have the same drawbacks. 
For me it is a nice thing to debate, but in my situation I would stay
with card swapping, as it almost as easy and flexible. Only a full USB
boot would help ease the handling.

Regards MH

I guess no one has tried a 128MB card before :D  We will keep this is
mind the next time we update the resize function. Where to get a 128MB
card?

My reason for doing so is most people would set the player name and
probably not the host name. Also there is more flexibility in the player
name. LMS also refers to the player name rather than the host name.
Personally I set the Player name and host name the same. Your point is
valid and logically correct.

Michael brought up a similar issue recently. We will address this and
similar related issue in a future release.

The total resurce utilization is similar, but the server, normally, is
much more capable, and the CPU cost for decoding to pcm and upsampling
at client side is greather than the network overhead. Bandwidth is the
only real cons, it depends if it 's a concern for you or not.

About quality we could discuss for month, but let's assume is the same.

I think it is one of those discussions that belong in the "audiophile"
