I already posted an issue at Github / Squeezelite in September, I think
your comments about the buffering are valuable additional info. So far
the posted issue over there remain silent.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Restoring from SD Corruption of piCorePlayer

2022-01-10 Thread audiomike


I'm looking for some input from those with more experience with this
system.

We had a power outage and my SD card got corrupted. I believe I was
running piCorePlayer 6 or 7 (the file /boot/config.txt says things like
`[PI0] initramfs rootfs-pCP-12.0.gz,modules-5.4.83-pcpCore.gz...` ).
I've been able to copy most, if not all, of the files to my local linux
laptop. (I view this as quite an accomplishment given that I couldn't
actually mount the PCP_ROOT partition and had to copy it and then 'mount
it using the -noload flag'
(https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/554039/114944)).  I am now wondering
what's the best way to proceed.

I'm reasonably linux savvy, but it's been over a year since I set up
piCP and I remember it took me a while to understand all of the
terminology related to the player, so I'd like to avoid starting from
scratch again. I have a '/PCP_ROOT/tce/mydata.tgz' file from Apr 2021.
I'm using a HiFi Berry Digi optical output to my receiver and wondering
what's the best way to proceed.

Any suggestions?

I'd also love some suggestions on how to avoid a similar corruption
event the next time there's a power outage. I was streaming from spotify
at the time, so I guess it was writing and reading from the disk, but
otherwise, I was surprised that the SD card got corrupted since my
understanding is that the player and OS are loaded into memory rather
than continually read from the SD card.

Thanks,

Mike

I'm afraid I have nothing more to offer, but I have never heard this
with SLX myself and I don't have any Ogg/Vorbis local files, but Spotify
uses Ogg and I don't have an issue there. pCP v5 apparently used
squeezelite version 1.9.2-1158.  And looking at raplhy's github I see
several changes/commits to opus / vorbis related code in the early
August 2019 timeframe just after pCP v5, including changes to the vorbis
buffering system.  Anyway, I'm beyond my usefulness, so I'll step back
and watch, and pay more attention for this when playing via SLX on my
computer.

BIG update : IT`s WORKING! ;););)

For whatever reason, in LMS ,  the player Icon in the left upper side of
the screen  has a `play` button that is hidden if you don`t hover over
it .  Well , I think that did the case . 

Now , for the last thing that is not working ,  how do I set path to my
music folders ?  

I would like to have 2 folders,   one that is on the sd-card  ,   and
one that it will be on a USB stick.

Thanks for your comments, all.

The Topping D30 was in my sights.

If the USB audio from a P4 is fine I have another option. I Southampton
I run an old Beresford 7510 DAC which has no USB input, but I Nicosia I
have a later 7520 which does. I could swap them over - when I get to
travel!

The other option is just to use a Raspberry Pi (hatless) as a server and
park it next to the Router. I have enough receivers to go round!

But from what I read, no matter what the final solution, the purchase of
a P4 may be a good idea.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] 'Official' docker container for LMS?

2022-01-10 Thread sparkyuk


Looking at the Squeezelite docs the -s option is used to set the LMS
server address and port if autodiscover is not used.  It also appears
that, if you're using https://hub.docker.com/r/giof71/squeezelite, the
SQUEEZELITE_SERVER_PORT is passed as this -s parameter.  This means that
you should set this variable to the address and port that your LMS
server is using for your Squeezelite container.  Please give it a go -
change the docker-compose file for Squeezelite and restart the
container.

The pre Pi 4 criticism was something I have read about rather than
experienced myself!  I would have thought that not using the Ethernet
port would solve the potential issue anyway, as there would be no
Ethernet traffic on the USB bus.

That is why  I asked ,  I don`t have any other configurations to compare
to .   Do you guys have LMS and Squeezelite  working in containers ?  
If yes , can you please share your configurations ,  docker-compose
files if you have ?

Shouldn't the SQUEEZELITE_SERVER_PORT be 192.168.100.93:9002 - it's the
address:port on which LMS is listening, not a port for Squeezelite to
listen on.

The USB external DAC poor sound quality was a criticism of the pre Pi4
architecture where the USB ports shared a bus with the Ethernet port. 
That architecture changed with the Pi4, where the USB ports have a
dedicated bus.  I think now it’s accepted that with the pi4 architecture
there is good quality sound from a USB external DAC.  That has certainly
been my experience.

If I understand your requirements correctly, I would recommend something
like a Topping E30 DAC
https://www.amazon.co.uk/TOPPING-E30-Hi-Res-AK4493-Decoder-Black/dp/B0868J7NRV/ref=sr_1_3?crid=13G5FCJ0K184Z=topping+dac=1641811256=topping+dac%2Caps%2C46=8-3.
You can connect your Pi to the USB input and your TV to the optical
input.  I use an E30 in this way and also have a CD player connected to
the Coaxial input and am very happy with the sound quality.

LocalPlayer just tell squeezelite to play directly from a file and not
streamed form LMS. All player control is done via network.

I know nothing about Docket etc. but your issues is probably network -
something is blocking discovery which is a broadcast packet.

Have you tried manually (i.e. command line option) telling squeezelite
the IP address of the LMS server.

I know nowt about Dockers (I'm old enough to remember Lady Docker:)) but
what is your Squeezelite configuration ? A screenshot would help. 

Which OS is on the raspberry pi ?

How is squeezelite currently installed ?

Which player are you using ? 

squeezelite -l

should give you a list

I presently have a Beresford DAC strapped to the back of the TV with its
two optical inputs driven by 

1.A Chromecast Audio dongle receiving via Castbridge

2. A TV which has a Chromecast Video Dongle attached - this dongle is
also recognised by Castbridge and audio may be streamed by that route.

LMS sits on a old PC and works well enough though a Raspberry Pi would
use less power!

The old Beresford DAC is able to drive the amplifier and speakers (when
switched on) and, with  a separate volume control, drive headphones, so
I have a setup that suits my needs well.

I have seen the HIFIBERRY DIGI+ I/O advertised

https://www.hifiberry.com/shop/boards/hifiberry-digi-io/

and I wonder if a Raspberry Pi  with this hat and PiCorePlayer would
allow me to achieve the same ends as above.

Is it possible to use the I/O board for TV sound loopthrough? Would
PiCorePlayer control the hat effectively for that purpose? I note the
latest PiCorePlayer has graphical control of ALSA mixer, and that gives
me hope. Deep modification of the underlying Linux would be beyond me.

If this were possible a passive splitter on the analogue output of the
HiFiBerry DAC would allow me to drive both the Loudspeaker Amp and a new
Headphone amp with independent control.

Is this a sensible approach as I look to replace ageing hardware? What
other options might I have? 

A new external DAC with

https://www.hifiberry.com/shop/boards/hifiberry-dacplus-rca-version/

would be one.


It must be a common need to merge TV sound into a quality lounge audio
system.

I've used resizeFS to use 'Whole disk' and now normal services has
resumed. No errors in log now.

I guess it was down to the nightly builds not clearing old versions but
didn't get to the root of the disk space culprit. Back to the Release
branch for now.

Exactly the same audible glitches with the SLX & Primary Sound Driver &
Ogg/Vorbis playback. I am not surprised to be honest, based upon my
earlier testing I don't think drivers are causing this.
