rpi is just dropping new firmware for the rpi3 wifi chip. Stability seems to be a bit better. I personally don't have a problem, but then my systems are quite close to my wifi router. That is probably the biggest issuelack of a real antenna. paul-'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58858 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107352 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] MusicIP on Raspberry Pi
I've come up with an approach to get what I need from my RPi/LMS setup and MusicIP functionality. For anyone with similar interests, I'll share it here. I use MediaMonkey to manage my playlists. For those that I use with my Transporter, I have a simple program that translates M3U files that MediaMonkey can export into playlists that LMS can use on the RPI. So, I installed MusicIP on my PC. It can send playlists/mixes to MediaMonkey, which I can then export and translate for use with LMS. I'm still having MusicIP fingerprint my music (I have about 9K songs), which will take another couple days. Then, I plan to create a couple large playlists based on specific moods/styles I'm striving for. They'll likely be larger, i.e., potentially 5k songs. Once I get these onto the LMS/RPi, I'll use DynamicPlaylist functionality to use them efficiently with my Transporter. And, while the MusicIP playlists will be static, Dynamic Playlist on LMS will seem random, by mood/mix, since I typically only play 40 to 60 songs at a given time anyway. So, I've accomplished my goal (or will once the fingerprinting process completes and I can create playlists by mood/style), and avoided trying to actually install MusicIP on my RPi. rlc999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34109 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108682 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

@ *TheLastMan* You might want to read this link for improved SQ of the default output. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29=136445 I don't know if it would work with a rpi1b but does on a rpi3b if you don't want to add a daughter board. With regard to the OS, I also don't know if it will work with piCorePlayer but it does with LMS and Squeezelite. Use Gerrelt's excellent blog for the install http://www.gerrelt.nl/RaspberryPi/wordpress/ If you have an Android phone you can download a simple SSH App that will allow you to issue the shutdown cmd line instruction before you actually switch it off at the wall. I would imagine that the is also an Apple App. If you look on the pCP web gui I think you can instruct LMS to wait for the network to be up before starting (this might be causing your problem). Try the LMS or Tweaks tab.

Well I think it is is a portable device, so for full output the volume control has to be turned up to 11 (perhaps you can check in alsamixer).

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Switching audio output / Changes are not being saved to config (piCorePlayer v3.11)
For your information what I was seeing turned out to be a corrupt memory card. I found out when I tried to start again, now have an old SanDisk one. The memory card was not a great brand but if corruption caused by picoreplayer it maybe it was the LMS Cache? Really happy with the results, I picked this over the competition because the logitech aspects have been commercially developed this was really clear to me so great to use it. it is really good and really quick! @Man in a van With the DAC I am using front:CARD=DAC,DEV=0. There probably is some additional tweaking. I am confused why there is volume control when using a usb DAC as I want my amp to handle that. I also don't think I am getting the up-sampling you mentioned the light on the front indicates the sample rate is 1, when I see 2X from my computer. I also have to put the language in to the javelite interface every time it restarts. Can this be solved by setting up the device on the screen and then saving the settings in the web interface?

Thanks both but absolutely nothing is working even if I try updating squeezelite I still lose everything on restart. I tried unplugging everything. There are two options now either to start from scratch or do an insitu update. there is a message saying ignoring swap partitions I see on raspberry pi, I wonder if that has anything to do with the problem. I am going to overwrite the memory card and start again, let me know if you have any suggestions.

hi jncweb, I agree with what "Man in a van" said. The [Save] button should write the changes to the configuration file then do a backup. There is also a [Backup] button on the [Main Page]... to be sure! I wonder if you have a newconfig.cfg on one of your USB devices that is being used on reboot.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Switching audio output / Changes are not being saved to config (piCorePlayer v3.11)
*@ jncweb * This is from memory, so might be a litle rusty. Then you change to usb and click save there should be a small window open advising to check the "Audio Output" settings are correct. Scroll down to the next box and click on the red "more" and the page expands to show the choice of outputs. Copy and paste the rquired one into the box, save and then go to the main page and click on reboot. Return to the Squeezelite page after reboot to confirm the changes. The above advice is based on the latest version, why not upgrade?
