Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 5.0.0

2020-01-14 Thread Cirieno


Hi all.  First time posting, please let me know if it's in the wrong
place.

I have three Pi3s (not Bs), with identical SD cards, and am having this
same issue on all of them:

I can make a fresh install of PCP5.0, and update to 5.0.1 without an
issue.  I can reboot from the web GUI also without a problem (so far). 
But if the power is pulled from the PI itself (or there is a power cut)
then 8 times out of 10 the boot process fails and the Linux partition
isn't mounted, instead the Pi boots into a command line ">
tc@piCorePlayer" and that's it, PCP is dead and I have to rewrite the
img to the SD and set everything up again.  I thought that PCP ran from
RAM and so any unexpected power cut shouldn't affect the card at all and
it should just reboot happily every time?

These Pis are players only, they don't run LMS or any extensions etc. 
Literally the barest of installs.  

Has anyone else had this issue, or have some advice (I'm a Windows
user)?  Thanks in advance!

Syncing is always a bit weird.  What are you using to sync.  Phillips
Sync Groups add on works the best that I've seen.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] picoreplayer USBridge auto on AMP

2020-01-14 Thread Seb85


There is not so much information about the integrated dac of the amp:
https://www.primare.net/products/i15-prisma-2/

I could probably manage switch on by rpi's gpio to rs232 input of the
amp.
But would be nice if it's working just over USB like with other OS. For
me there is no alternative to pcp. 

I've ask also producer of the Amp maybe they can give a hint what to
check.

Works well. :)

I have the AUDIOPHONICS I-SABER V3 DAC ES9023 TCXO  installed. 

I have configured the power switch but the OS does not seem to recognise
the SOC. 

On power up the switch led continues blinking.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] picoreplayer USBridge auto on AMP

2020-01-14 Thread Paul Webster


How about the auto-sense setting ... try setting it to WAKE+SELECT ...
with STANDBY set to NORMAL

"AUTO SENSE
Choose between: SELECT to automatically select an input
containing an audio signal if the I15 is on; WAKE+SELECT
to automatically wake up the I15 from standby, if
necessary, and select an input containing an audio signal;
and OFF (default) to disable automatic switching."

"STANDBY MODE can be set to ECO to reduce the standby
consumption to less than 0.5W, but only allows the I15 to
wake from the analogue and digital inputs, or NORMAL
which also allows the I15 to wake from streaming and the
PC/MAC input."

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 5.0.0

2020-01-14 Thread NigelC


Hi pcp team

Im running LMS on picoreplayer on a Pi3B with all my music files on my
NAS. I have used the option to move the slimserver files onto the NAS,
which works fine most of the time.

Occasionally, first thing in the morning,  LMS seems to lock up - the
pcp home page responds OK , saying LMS is running. pcp:9000 displays an
outline LMS home page but with no content on either the left or right
hand pane.  I suspect that the NAS drive has gone to sleep overnight and
LMS cant cope with this. I cant see any problem reported in the logs
though. A restart of LMS fixes the issue.

Whats the best place for these slimserver files?
SD card - does LMS do many writes and potentially wear the card out? 
NAS - as Im using at the moment
USB stick - or does this suffer the same as the SD card

Also, in the past, with LMS running on a linux box, I always had
problems after a power cut (we get lots of these where I live). LMS
started before the NAS and the music files were not available. Once the
NAS was up, I had to "sudo mount -a" to get it running. Am I likely to
have problems like this with LMS on picoreplayer too?

Many thanks for this great project

Cheers
Nigel

Hi,
I have been using PCP for about 4 years now and I think this is a
marvelous piece of work. Thanks
I use PCP in my remote speakers which about 2 years ago I modified to
include a Z Wave switch so I could control them as part of my home
automation
I have 4 speakers set like this all slaved to an LMS with it's own
(ficticious) player. the player on the server is just there to keep the
server playing 24/7
The speakers drop in and out of the syncronised group and I have music
from a repeating playlist within a minute of any player being switched
on.
Works like a charm !

Because it worked so well I thought I'd swap my Max2Play LMS
installation for a PCP version of the same.
Installation went well and the players synched okay ... except ...
Whenever a speaker (a PCP node previously identifird and sync'd to the
LMS, and server saved with this sync) joins the group, ALL the players
on the server pause.
I've had to go back to the Max2Play server.
Any ideas if I have missed a setting or if there are any known
differences in the installation of 7.9 nightly ?
Thanks in advance
Mutt

Not the NAS for sure.  A USB stick would work fine, at least it is
easily replaced.
