[slim] How Many Are Using Raspberry PI 2 to Replace Squeezebox?

2015-04-24 Thread earthbased

It looks like a Raspberry PI 2 can run SqueezeLite and be managed by WEB
Browser on iPad/iPhone.  Anyone doing this?

Re: [slim] network issue - need some help and advice

2015-04-24 Thread alfista

The WiFi analyzer will probably not tell you anything useful in trying
to solve this problem, and I doubt it has anything to do with WiFi at
all.
Any chance you could log on to the Pi and check CPU load when you have
your TV connected to the LAN. Perhaps the TV for some reason is pelting
your Pi with so much traffic that it can't keep up with serving your
Squeezeboxes.

 are feeling the effect more than any other device? 
 
 Going to try a spare gigabit switch and put that between  tv and router

and when you did this test, the home plugs were entirely disconnected
from electrical sockets and from router so they couldn't possibly
interfere.

Re: [slim] Rhapsody - no audio with Logitech SB3

2015-04-24 Thread kh6idf

I'm not running a server - this is using mysqueezebox.com.  Also, I
verified there is no audio using the analog outputs either, just on
Rhapsody.  Everything else works fine.

Of course a Raspberry Pi can be used to run SqueezeLite!

Check out piCorePlayer (Check the Unix/Linux forum here) - it's the most
painless way of running SqueezeLite on a Pi. I am running two Pi B
version 1 and a Pi version 2 as headless Squeezeboxes, managed via the
web interface from a laptop or via apps on Android phone and tablet and
on an iPad. In my case LMS is running on a QNAP NAS.

You can also use a Pi to Run LMS (but I found it a little slow).

Using an A+, working fine. Some will shout at me, but in that basic
configuration, simple audio jack is good enough for what I'm doing and
the A+ is so compact that it can fit easily inside the housing of other
equipment.

[slim] Rhapsody - no audio with Logitech SB3

2015-04-24 Thread kh6idf

This morning I attempted to listen to Rhapsody but there is no audio
being output from the coaxial digital output.  I switched to Pandora and
I get audio.

Did something change with Rhapsody?  Does it still work with the SB3? 
The display seems to indicate it is playing but there is no digital
audio output.

Re: [slim] How Many Are Using Raspberry PI 2 to Replace Squeezebox?

2015-04-24 Thread Giza2020

In have a pi 512mb version running squuezeplug and the lms server there
works perfect and faster than my ready nas duo  (so probably could be
slow to those use to a fast machine) and i can't see any reason for not
using it as the main server. Then have a pi2 with hifiberry amp+ wifi
which is better than my boom and duet in the fact it plays aac
natively.

I can see a time when i have 5+ pi squeezeboxes as i want must in all
rooms of the house and these things can sit in ceiling space or wall
space powering ceiling or wall speakers. 

I use squeezeplug or max2play as it's called now for the player as i
couldn't get picoreplayer working with wifi adapter and amp. .but that
is all down to user not product fault I'm sure :-) 

And less than £100 for one of these players up and running!

You probably have to update your server
