imho the problem with max2play not booting is most probably caused by
incompatibility with kernel and other packages that are upgraded when
using "apt full-upgrade". I would expect the problem to remain even
after upgrading the firmware booting with some other image.

In my brief research I found this to be a common belief. I think that
the average person will have difficulty to understand the difference
between firmware and OS Kernel. Raspberry foundation releases firmware
updates to fix the temp problem.

>From my search I found comments about "apt full-upgrade" updating both
the linux Kernel and the firmware (apart from other packages). Maybe
this is source to missunderstandings too.

Hi,
most imprtant thing to do is update firmware when your Raspi arrives.
Mine was delivered 1 month ago and came with old firmware. Temperature
whilst idle was 74ºC (at 80ºC CPU starts throttling down).
After updating firmware temperature dropped to 62-64ºC in idle state.
Be careful not to confuse kernel update with firmware update, I've seen
many posters in forums updating the Kernel and complaining about
problems afterwards when only firmware update is needed for this.
This is what I did in my Pi 4 with Max2Play 2.52:
I followed the instructions from
http://www.geeks3d.com/20191101/raspberry-pi-4-new-firmware-reduces-power-consumption-and-boards-temperatures/:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
$ sudo apt install rpi-eeprom
Now, run the following command to check the status of the bootloader +
VL805 code:
$ sudo rpi-eeprom-update
And finally reboot

Dont run "apt dist-upgrade" or "apt full-upgrade" since they will
upgrade important components like the kernel and may cause your Pi not
to work depending on the software installed.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS on Raspberry Pi4

2020-05-13 Thread tw99


I'm running LMS and some other server applications on a PI4 in a
standard case, just with a simple heatsink on the processor.

pi@helix:~ $ vcgencmd measure_temp
temp=58.0'C

So on that basis I don't think there's an issue.  Remember that the
firmware has had a lot of changes in the last year to improve
temperature control.

I run LMS on a Pi4 4GB 24/7, no fan, FLIRC case, and no heat issues
whatsoever. I did have the Pimoroni fan-shim for a while, but it gathers
a lot of dust - FLIRC case is *much* better (and only £16 from CPC). I
use the Pi4 for LMS, Plex, as a print server (CUPS), photo server,
file-server, and to regularly backup my laptop. Fantastic device.



*Material debug:* 1. Launch via http: //SERVER:9000/material/?debug=json
2. Open browser's developer tools 3. Open console tab in developer tools
4. REQ/RESP messages sent to/from LMS will be logged here.

My post at the end of the thread details a couple of changes I had to
make.

Bear in mind that all your tracks need to be fingerprinted by MusicIP
and it is recommended to do this on a PC and not on the Pi. The same
version of MusicIP should be installed on the machine used for
fingerprinting as on the Pi. It might be worth trying to fingerprint
some tracks before doing anything else.

Not that I know of.

I just use my own cobbled together method :)

I have a small music library, it all fits on a 64gb card.

I use the 'Desktop version'
(https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_latest) because it has a VNC
server which lets me remote in from my Windows 10 Desktop. it also has a
SD card copy function which reduces the size of the file.

I found a "how to" install Samba on the web and it works pretty well (or
it did until a Windows Update stopped the automatic connection. There is
a workaround for that but it broke again after another update
:rolleyes:. I just connect from the Win10 with a click on the shared
drive now sigh).

I also run a Spotify-Connect client from a "how to" by pinkdot which I
got from the Moode Audio thread on DIY-Audio forum. It's basicallly the
same as mhergers but without the podcast thing.

I have another version with LMS, Squeezelite, Spotify -Connect and a
Jivelite install which is configured to start playing fip when it is
fired up.

I keep meaning to do a MPD player with UpNP stuff but I think some of
that is not so easy.

There is a bit of work, but practice makes perfect, sometimes it's just
a question of trial and error.

Running just LMS should be easy enough (there is a Raspbian Lite for
headless operation).

What sort of Hard drive are your music libraries on?

a problem with the voice Media Server skill - the zero hasn't enough
memory for the Play favourites feature.  I could just use the trusty
Joggler which does work.

Are Pi's ever on special offer anywhere?

Plenty :)

I use the 4gb but utilise the Raspbian Desktop OS and run a seperate
Spotify-Connect client,  Samba (I have my music library on the same SD
card) and some other stuff.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS on Raspberry Pi4

2019-09-09 Thread bencat


I use Max2play software for my LMS on Raspberry Pi and have used this
for about five years upgrading the Pi as a new quicker version came out.
I have been using the Pi 4 4GB since it came out and the Max2play beta
download was available. I only use this Pi as a pure LMS server with a 2
TB USB HD attached with my library . I also purchased a Flirc case and
this has reduced the operating temperature to around 42/43 deg which i
feel is fine. 

Pi 4 is smoother , faster and in my view more stable that the Pi3 + . A
full scan does take around three minutes overall quicker than before but
once this has done then upgrades to the LMS version , searches and
instructions for next track etc are much quicker and smoother. I feel
the Rpi 4 is a huge upgrade and offers response and feel that is in line
with many expensive purpose built (and expensive) streamers / network
players. I would reccomend an upgrade to Rpi 4 . 

I am sure there are people out there who can use the added RAM to give
other advantages but as this is beyond my talents I will wait and then
keep an eye on developments.

HelloI've just fitted a pimoroni shim and case to my pi4. As you
can't feel the device through the case now, how much cooler does it get,
how do I know, and most importantly of all does anybody switch it off
when they go out for a few hours or overnight, or can you just leave it
on all the time like a pi 3 ?

2019-08-21 Thread sfraser


I have been running a Pi4 w/4G of RAM in the new Flirc case as a 
Max2play LMS for approx. 24 hrs. So far so good, initial music scan
(from remote  mounted file system on co-located  NAS) took about 82
minutes for  90K songs. On the Pi3 the scan I believe was around 4
hours.  Temperature has been hovering around 40-44C  sitting in a
communications rack in my basement with an ambient room  temp of  20C. 
Earlier it was in my office upstairs and during the music scan I seen
temps in the range of 50C with an ambient room  temp likely around 24C. 
I have a Pi3 in a stock Pi plastic case with a small heat sink on the
CPU sitting next to the Pi4 in the com rack and it is also showing temps
around 43C.  As expected, everything is "snappy" . I will sync 5 or 6
squeezebox's later and see if that creates any type of load on the
little guy. 

Over all very impressed. I will brun it in for a week or two, and if
everythting gores well I will repurpose the Pi3 LMS for something else.

Hi Guys

Sorry for the confusion I may have caused with my earlier post. Just to
be clear, the Geekworm case I purchased was designed for the Pi4 and
fits like a glove with all ports being accessable. It also seems to
significantly reduce the idle temperature of my Pi4. They also make a
version with a fan which will probably be even more effective if you
don't mind the slight noise pollution.

Cheers

Hi Ashley

Thanks for pointing out this option. With the RPi4, handling heat
radiation is definitely a priority. When I followed your link I found
that this is designed for the RPi3 ... can you tell more about it and
how it fits the new RPi4? ... and could you maybe add a couple of photos
where we can see the exact fit?

I'd like to point out (repeat) the one that sfraser mentioned from
FLIRC. This one is explicitly designed for the RPi4.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS on Raspberry Pi4

2019-08-17 Thread acanning

Morning All

I’ve just discovered this thread so I thought I’d chime in with my
Pi4/LMS experience.
I have been running LMS (Max2Play) on a Pi3 for a about 18 months and
it’s worked very well. The music is stored on a Nas and I regularly use
the Spotty and iPlayer plugins. I’d say that there were sometimes small
delays when browsing through my music collection but never anything to
worry about.

However, when the Pi4 was released temptation got the better of me so I
went ahead and purchased the 4gb version. I loaded up Max2Play (v2.5
beta) and away it went although this time feeling a good deal quicker
than before. I haven’t carried out any specific measurements but I’d say
the scanning isn’t much quicker than with the Pi3 which I guess is a
limitation of the Nas arrangement I have. The day to day browsing is
quicker though. I’m not sure whether the extra memory (4gb) is making a
big difference or not, I have tweaked the ‘Database Memory Config’ in
the Performance tab of LMS so perhaps the extra capacity is being used?

I store my Pi4 in a smallish cupboard which also houses my Nas, a
network switch and also my broadband fibre modem. This creates a fairly
warm environment for the Pi4. Initially I didn’t buy any kind of case
and opted to see how it operated ‘naked’. Running purely as an LMS
server it showed a temperature of around 62c at idle. This number was
taken from the Max2Play ‘settings/reboot’ screen so I assume it to be
accurate. This seemed a bit high for my liking so I looked around for a
case without a fan as I didn’t want to create any more noise. I settled
on this cheapo case….

27939

Which is availible 'here'
(https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32962800319.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.66147dd3MCC4rT_pvid=df0b32f6-50ad-4c05-a5cc-90b1aaf7cfd8_expid=df0b32f6-50ad-4c05-a5cc-90b1aaf7cfd8-1=1fba5b47-262d-483e-89ba-e23a3711d987_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_1,searchweb201603_52http://)

It is also available on Amazon but I opted to import it from China (I
think) for about £10. It’s been successful as the Pi4 now idles at about
48c.
So all in all I’d say my Pi4 experience has been positive. I should
stress that there was no real need to upgrade from the Pi3 as it was
working perfectly but that’s not really the point 

I’m wondering now how much better it would/could perform if I attach my
music files directly to the USB port………

Cheers
Ashley

With a Pi4 and files on a NAS mounted by NFS the scan time is
appreciably quicker than a Pi3 in similar mode. This is with the db on
the Pi not on the NAS. 
That said a Pi4 is not as quick as an old HP Microserver with SSD for
the OS and db but files on the NAs via NFS. Its the SSD which stores the
db that makes most difference.

Been running LMS on a PI3 for quite sometime. Scans are slow as music
library is not local to the Pi but  located on a NAS. What I thought was
slow search times etc. actually turned out to be my Squeeze Ctrl remote

pretty snappy.

The latest Pi3 (Pi3B+ I believe) works very well as a server, I have
built 3 now for friends

However the case that Kidstypike has used for the Pi4 looks good if
you're only after a server and can put it where the small amount of
noise will not be a problem.

Using the Pi4 does have benefits of speed of CPU,Ethernet and USB

I didn't particularly want a case with a fan, but this is just a stop
gap until something more to my liking comes along. I'd retired the Pi4
to my spares drawer, but it seemed a pity to waste it, hence the
purchase.
Noise-wise I'd say it's whisper quiet, but then it's in the same room as
my PC, which has a case fan going constantly.
But even when I turn the PC off, I need to put my ear to within inches
of the Pi case to hear anything.

I bought one of 'these'

No I use a separate device in another room for streaming to an external
DAC, so only looking to run LMS on this device. In view of the heat
dissipation, maybe I should consider a Pi3 instead. I think this should
give a substantial improvement over a Pi2?

rpi4 user here.

The only drawback at the moment is the heat. Static pi runs at 60C or so
and this increases with work load.

A naked pi should have no problem with LMS and Squeezelite, unlikely to
throttle I would think.

There a cases (flicr being one and others being developed) and fans.

I have a Pimoroni shim-fan which is a bit temperamental with it's bloody
led light but works well.

There is a script for raspbian, but used with pCP, it just runs all the
time, baby! like a battery rabbit :)

I mostly use the Raspbian desktop and last week built a Spotify-Connect
client on the pi using librespot.

At times the cpu was showing 100% use but the tem never went above 65C
thanks to the fan.

It's good fun :p

Do you run picoreplayer at the moment ?

There are reports on here that say pcp 6.0.1 runs LMS well on Pi4 and is
fast

Heat has been discussed as well due to the Pi4's CPU

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS on Raspberry Pi4

2019-08-08 Thread gustavm


Hi

I have been running LMS on a Pi2 for a number of years. Has worked
reliably but quite slow to update after adding new FLAC files, and
sometimes not quite as responsive as I'd like. I had been thinking of
changing to a Pi3, but now that the Pi4 is available was wondering about
that. 

Should it just work fine on that with most recent LMS version, or are
there any differences I need to take note of?

I'm not very Linux savvy, in the past have just followed the various
instruction threads.

Thanks in advance for any advice...
