Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Backup piCorePlayer without removing SD card

2022-11-09 Thread bengaldave


Hello,

I formatted a USB stick on windows as fat32.

Plugged it into the USB3.0 on the raspberry pi4.

There is only one entry on the mount
/tmp/images

Am I missing a step?

Thanks

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 8.0.0

2022-11-09 Thread bengaldave


I see an old post showing these commands 

ce
tce-load -w git rpi-vc python3.6 (You can omit if you already
have these)
tce-load -i git rpi-vc python3.6
git clone https://github.com/piCorePlayer/rpi-eeprom.git  (This is a
clone from rpi's git, with a few tweaks to the scripts for pcp.
cd rpi-eeprom
sudo ./rpi-eeprom-update -a (This will update to the 9-10-2019
eeprom binary that is now the default)
pcp rb   (reboot to load the bootloader)


But the version of python in piCoreplayer is python 3.8

When running rpi-eeprom-update I get rpi-eeprom-digest not found

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2022-11-09 Thread bengaldave


Hello,

So goal is to be able to have my Teams audio playing on my speakers
attached to my piCoreplayer.

This part works.

Is this the behavior I should be seeing?
1) After manually disconnecting bluetooth from Windows to
piCoreplayer, top volume level from piCoreplayer is very low. 
Only rebooting piCoreplayer sets volume back to "normal" 
2) If there is local playback on piCoreplayer, cannot connect
bluetooth. Must stop local playback first. 


Example workflow
1) Manually connect from windows PC to piCoreplayer
2) Have teams meeting
3) When teams meeting is over and would like to start music playing on
piCoreplayer

Must disconnect manally, player controls does not let me start playing
music until I manually disconnect.

4) After manually disconnecting, volume is very low. Setting volume to
max, does not make it very load.

5) Reboot, and then local play is at correct volume.

I just bought one from PiHut.ca here in Canada last week. Was a right

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] [piCorePlayer] Turn off USB output when turning off player?

2022-11-09 Thread Man in a van


I switched off my rpi home LMS server

On the rpi3b+ I removed the -C 10 instruction

On the Tweaks page I set Radio Paradise to start playback at power on


I paused playback in LMS GUI

Selected the  un-used input on dac;  the dac goes into standby

Wait for a couple of minutes 

Press the power button on dac; it powers on with the last input
selected. 

I let it go into standby.

I go to LMS GUI and start playback, power on the dac, it self-selects
the un-used input.

I cycle to usb, music plays. 

I pause playback on the LMS GUI and select the un-used input, the dac
goes into standby.

I shutdown the rpi from the pCP Main Page and switch off the power 

Wait a couple of minutes

Switch on the rpi (the dac is still in standby)

The Dac power up, self selects the USB input and after a short pause,
radio Paradise begins to play.

I have not experienced noise of any sort (which was the original concern
of this thread) during any of these preceding procedures

OK so something weird (probably weird because I'm unfamiliar with pCP)
happened. I edited the conf file with wifi access details, erased my
home network details and added my mobile hotspot details, then replaced
the microSD card  into the RPi and rebooted - and it reconnected to my
home network again! How did that happen? I could not get it to connect
to my mobile personal hotspot. Does the RPi retain information about
previous wifi access points? I thought RPi was memoriless and could only
use the config file on the microSD card to access and do other stuff,
but then what do I know? Anyway, I'm stuck now until I get back into
work as I need to DL interface protocol configs to connect to my NAS
share folders. So strange.

Normally Squeezelite keeps the device open while it is running. 
Have you tried the "-C " option which closes the output device
after a timeout when not playing.  It will be reopened if squeezelite
gets a request to play,

Hi Ronnie, thanks for replying. I had selected Beta, as suggested in the
pCP documentation
"https://docs.picoreplayer.org/projects/build-simple-lms-server/;. Looks
like my home network is restricting access to the repository (see other
responses). I have it working now but there is still some mystery (for
me) as to what is stopping access to the repository.

Cheers, Tony

Hi Kidstypike, many thanks for replying. Yes you're right, I followed
the path you suggested and there was a red cross against the pC
repository (I've tried to add my screenshot but not sure if it works).
Yesterday I took my RPi into work and the LMS download worked from
there, so there must be something in my home network that's preventing
access to these files, although I have not idea what it might be as I
haven't configured my home router/wifi for anything like this.

So I now have LMS working courtesy of my employers' network, but it
would be great to understand what might be causing the isue here at
home. Any ideas? 

Cheers, Tony

My RPI3B+/PiCore won't allow the DAC to go into standby. It's so
annoying.

Thanks for the input. I will consider this.

Yes, I saw that and implemented it. It is a workaround to ensure the
player gets rebooted once the DAC comes on. Why? same reason that for
this post. My RPI3B+ is clearly not friends with my DAC and extremely
often, when I want to listen to music, I must end up rebooting my
PiCorePlayer. It is sooo annoying when you come from an all-in-one (I
had a Marantz Melody X in the past, and I'm starting to regret I let go
of it)

That's interesting to know. I too have managed to see up to 768Khz on
the DAC display when not enabling Exclusive mode on the Tidal app. As
soon as I enable that, sampling frequency will top at 44.1Khz based on
my observation, but it will result on MQA icon being displayed on the
DAC screen.

I hear you. And I thank you for your time a lot!
