Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer6.0.0 - PI4 support
Hi Not sure if this is a bug but since moving to 6.0.0-rc1 on 3 occasions when I go to use my piCorePlayer instead of the JiveLite screen I see a screen full of text, same as when the system boots except that there's a message that says JiveLite is currupted remove and reinstall (or words to that effect). On all three occasions a power cycle fixed the issue without me reinstalling JiveLite. After the second failure I blew a fresh image onto a new SD card and the third failure was using the new SD card. When it fails it looks like the rPI has rebooted. I didn't manually reboot it and there hasn't been any power outages. I don't have a reboot cron job active. Maybe JiveLite crashes and causes the rPI to reboot? Is this a known issue or just me? When in failure mode, I can't get to the web config pages (times out) so I can't check to see if a soft reboot would fix the issue. rPI 3B with a normal install of piCorePlayer 6.0.0-rc1 --ian Stoker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8264 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110727 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

I've just tried adding a different SSD to the pCP machine, I set up a new share again using the guide.

The drive mounted and I could see the files but, unfortunately I still get permission denied if I try to write. Beginning to wonder I there's a bug in Ubuntu somewhere that stops regular users writing to mounted samba shares. I noticed if I use the Ubuntu file manager to 'connect to a server' and enter 'smb://192.168.0.15/Test' and hit connect, enter 'tc' and the password then I do have write access in the file explorer, so I'm pretty sure that the problem lies with the mounting. --ian Stoker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8264 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110642 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

The Samba server is set up as follows: Server Name: piCoreLMS, Server WorkGroup: piCore, Share Name: LMSFiles, Share Path: /mnt/LMSFiles, Create File Mode: 0755 All configure through the piCorePlayer LMS page.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 5.0.0
Hi Having trouble writing files to a drive mounted on piCorePlayer from my Ubuntu PC. The drive contains all my music. It's an SSD connected to a USB port using an SATA/USB adapter. I set up LMS and Samba on pCP using the guides on the pCP help pages and it all works flawlessly until I try to access the drive from my Ubuntu PC. On my Ubuntu PC I mount the drive using: sudo mount -t cifs -o username=tc //192.168.0.15/LMS ./sMusic (I've also tried adding 'rw' to the -o options). Now I can see all my files but I can't edit them or add new files, I get permission denied. If use sudo then I can edit and add new files. I'm sure this is a permissions problem but have been unable to fix it! If I look at permissions from Ubuntu I see: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6007978 Jun 12 16:11 exs_and_ohs.mp3 If I look at permissions when connected to pCP via SSH I see: -rwxrwxrwx1 tc staff 6007978 Jun 12 16:11 exs_and_ohs.mp3 So it would seem to me that because I used sudo to mount the drive then I need to be superuser to edit the files. Mount won't let me mount without the sudo. I don't like doing this, I want to be able to edit from my normal user account. Long winded explanation, sorry, but does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it? --ian Stoker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8264 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110642 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

I'm pretty sure the cache is on a USB drive connected directly to my piCore Player machine, although I'm not 100% sure. On the USB drive there is a slimeserver/Cache directory with files that were modified as recently as yesterday which might indicate that the cache is on the USB drive and not the SD card.

Hi Tried to play some music this morning and discovered that LMS is not running. When I go to the piCore player web interface, in the Main Page there's a red cross and the text: LMS is not running. If I go to the LMS tab of the piCore Player web interface and hit the start button I get the following messages: [ INFO ] Starting LMS...

So far I'm thinking either uninstall/reinstall LMS or wipe SD card and reinstall piCore Player. Both a bit of a pain, so if anyone has any suggestions...

There is the ALSA 10 Band Equalizer which is available from the 'Tweaks' tab of the webUI (need to be in advanced or beta mode, available at bottom of browser window). I've only played with it myself but it does work. However, if the vocals really are that 'low' compared with what you would expect, I'm wondering if there's something other the equalisation wrong. Vocals are usually recorded so that they come in the middle of the stereo field, which means that they usually come out of both speakers equally. Sometimes if one channel is out of phase then anything placed centrally (including vocals) in the mix can seem to be at reduced volume compared with other stuff which may be mixed more to the left or right in the stereo field. Some mp3 players have a Karaoke mode which does this on purpose. Is it possible that the HiFiberry has a setting somewhere that inverts the phase of one channel? I'm assuming that the rest of the system is properly wired up with regards to phase. --Ian --ian Stoker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8264 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] Jivelite for piCorePlayer
Hi I'm running pCP 3.22 with (as far as I can tell) the latest version of Jivelite. I leave pCP powered on all the time and I've noticed that every now and again, probably less than once a month, that when I come to listen to some music the Jivelite interface is frozen. Symptoms are that the infrared remote won't work, which I initially thought was the issue, however if I start the music from either the LMS web interface or OrangeSqueeze then music plays fine but the Jivelite screen doesn't get updated (stays on what ever was showing when I last used it) so I'm thinking that Jivelite has somehow frozen. Would this also stop infrared working? I can fix the issue by either power cycling the rPi or doing a 'Reboot' from the pCP main web interface, but haven't found any other way of getting it back. This isn't much of a problem to me. Occasional reboots are not much of an issue but just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else is seeing it. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help debug the issue.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce piCorePlayer 3.20
Hi Is it possible for me to upgrade the LMS in piCorePlayer to 7.9.1? I'm sure it is, somehow, but when I try to do it via the "Update" button on the LMS tab in pCP web interface it says no updates available (same in the server settings/advanced/software updates). LMS 7.9.1 would be useful as, I believe, it would allow seeking within tracks to work in the new Spotty plug-in.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.10
Thanks for the replies to my PiCoreServer questions. Seems like it should be fairly straight forward. I've got a 250G SSD which should be OK for the music storage, it's SATA but With an adapter it can be turned int a USB disk. Yesterday I managed to reformat this SSD to Ext4 and copied my library onto it. So just need to get a new Pi3, SDcard and powersupply and I should be good to go. A couple of questions come to mind: 1) I don't use many LMS plug-ins but I'd be lost without BBC iPlayer and Spotify. Anyone know if these work with LMS on PiCorePlayer? 2) Paul suggested using a separate power supply for the USB disk would this still apply with an SSD?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.10
Hi Guys I'm thinking of replacing my ageing LMS machine (Ubuntu PC) with a Pi running PiCorePayer. I use PiCorePlayer as a player with great success but would just like to ask if there's anything I need to be especially aware of when commissioning my new server! This server will not need to be used as a player. I'm considering a RPi 3, which would be connected to my router with wired ethernet. As for music storage I was thinking of simply connecting a USB hard drive of appropriate size to one of the USB ports on the RPi. I'm assuming that the USB hard drive should be re-formatted to Ext4 (or something else?) before use.

Hi I've just up graded to pCP 3.10 onto my rPi2B +IQ DAC, all went well until I enabled JiveLite, then I noticed I could no longer access the web server and on boot I am seeing the little yellow lightning bolt in top right corner of console. I guess this means my power supply isn't up to driving the rPi with 3.10 and JiveLite My system works fine with pCP 3.10 without JiveLite i.e. webserver accessible and no yellow lightning bolt. Also, it worked fine with pCP 2 with JiveLite running. What rating of power supply should I be using? Currently (no pun intended) using a USB 'high current' charger supply, with no actual rating printed on it. Would a 2.5A or 3A rated supply be adequate or do I need something better?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.00
Hi Just wondering if it's possible to bridge between the WiFi and the ethernet* using PiCorePlayer, like you used to be able to do on the SB3. I found a similar question in the original PiCorePlayer thread and Greg replied saying that "he'd add it to the list but don't hold your breath" (para-phrasing!). I'd be happy to install extra software and/or experiment to try and get this working if someone could point me in the right direction to get started. * What I'm trying to achieve here is to connect PiCorePlayer to my network as normal using WiFi and then use the ethernet socket on the Pi to give network access to a device that only has a wired connection. I'm not sure if this is actually called bridging, hence my clumsy description!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] newbie help
Hi FunkyELF I'm currently doing more or less what you're trying to do, only a single RPi though. RPi as a player with Squeezebox server running on my always on linux machine. I can confirm that Spotify is working using Triode's plugin on the server, never tried Logitech's Spotify or any of the other services you mentioned so can't comment. I decided to use piCoPlayer as pointed to by Sbp a few post back in this thread and I'm very happy with it. Set up couldn't have been easier. It boots quickly and is quite happy being power cycled. To get a wireless connection to my newtwork I'm using a Edimax EW-7811UN USB WiFi adaptor http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003MTTJOY/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8psc=1 I am also now using a HiFimeDIY Sabre USB DAC for audio output http://hifimediy.com/index.php?route=product/productproduct_id=83. I originally used the on-board audio out of the RPi and found it to be better than expected, however the USB DAC does sound better. Both these USB devices are plugged directly into the RPi's USB ports, I'm not using a hub. They were not hard to get working. This set up has now been operational for 5 days and i've been using it quite heavily in the evenings with no problems at all so far.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: Squeezelite - a small headless squeezeplay emulator for linux (alsa only)
Hi Triode Just been trying squeezelite for the first time on a Windows XP laptop with an external USB DAC. Every time I start squeezelite I get a dialog pop up which says: The procedure entry point NtAlpcSendWaitReceivePort could not be located in dynamic link library ntdll.dll This happens twice as soon as I try to run the program. If I click on OK both times then squeezelite starts and seems to work thereafter. I'm starting squeezelite from a command promt with the command: squeezelite-win.exe -n sqlite As I say I'm new to squeezelite so don't know if this is a bug or if I might be doing something wrong! I also noticed some slightly odd behaviour when I play the first trck after switch on; using Orange squeeze as a controller, I select a track to play, hit the play button, the track start playing, all seems well except that the remaining time display shoots all the way to the right, indicating the track is at the end. As I say, the track plays OK and this only seems to happen on the first track played.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Mounting USB drive in Ubuntu
Hi I've got a USB hard drive that has all my music and other files already on it (used to use it on a Windows XP machine). I thought I'd mount it on my new Ubuntu server and then point SqueezboxServer at the music directory on the USB drive. This seems to have worked and Squeezebox server can play the music. However whilst I was poking around in the shell I discovered that all the files and directories on the USB drive were owned by root and in the group root, the privilges are 755 which means that I need to be root to write to this disc. This is a problem to me because when I rip new music on my PC I can't copy it accross to the USB drive unless I log in as root. I've tried to change the owner and group of all the files and directories on this drive using sudo chown -R ian:users /Data (/Data is the mount point for the USB drive) but this doesn't seem to have any effect. Is there anything different about USB drives or pherhaps that the file system on the drive is FAT32 Any ideas?

[SlimDevices: Unix] I've Broken my Debian Installation
Hi My Debian machine was built when Sarge was the current release and has worked, without issue for me ever since. I recently tried to get the new Spotify plugin working but found that the helper app wouldn't run, after a little reading I discovered that I had a version of libc that was too old so I tried to update it using apt-get. I think the upgrade of libc worked, however I then discovered that Squeezebox server would no longer run, I can't uninstall it (apt-get says that it's not installed) and I can't install it (apt-get says something along the lines of missing dependancies... and then hangs). I tried a dist-upgrade and that failed in the same way. I'm thinking that there must be some way to recover the system, it still boots OK and I can access the system via PuTTy. To me it seems that I can either make a new installation CD and do a fresh install (all music is backed up) or possibly try a kernel upgrade and then an dist-upgrade to lenny.

I've apt-got and installed hdparm and I can check the status of my drives with: hdparm -C /dev/hdxx I find that my music drive /dev/hda1 is in standby mode, which the man page suggests is spun down. The other drive (/dev/hdb1) is showing as active/idle which (I think) is still spinning, which is what I'd expect since I guess just running commands from a terminal will access the operating system drive. Is there a way to query the spin down parametes? I can use the -S switch to set the time out but I can see no way to get the current time out period from the drive?

[SlimDevices: Unix] Slimserver/Apache/Debian
Hi Sorry if this is a daft question! I'm taking it that the slimserver install on my Debian box uses Apache as a web server for the web interface. This being the case is it possible (or sensible) to use the same Apache server to serve other web pages, i.e. would it be possible to host another (small) website on the same server that has nothing to do with SlimServer? I've had a look around and can't actually find the Apache server so I might be completely wrong on this. If it's not sensible to use any existing server, would it be OK to install another copy of Apache without effecting slimserver? -- Stoker --ian Stoker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8264 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35523 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix

[SlimDevices: Unix] Lame on Debian
Hi I'm trying to stream audio from my slimserver at home to my work PC, I've got this working, sort of. It works for a few seconds and then the audio breaks up and is unlistenable. This is due, I think, to my music being in Flac format and my ADSL uplink rate not being high enough so I thought I throttle the bandwidth with the player/audio/bitrate limiting option in slimserver. However there is a message on the page saying that I don't appear to have Lame installed, which supprises me since Alien BBC works, maybe Alien BBC doesn't use lame. So, anyone one know how to install Lame on a Debian system, I tried apt-get install lame but I get a message saying package not available. Does anyone know if there is a different server that has an apt-get compatible version of lame?

[SlimDevices: Unix] Trouble getting AlienBBC to work with Debian
Hi all I recently build myself a Debian Linux server from an old PC with the intention of using it to run SlimServer. I managed to get Slimserver (Version 6.5.1-11206) up and running very easily and I am now using it to stream to my SqueezeBox. Unfortunately, I'm having a lot of trouble getting AlienBBC to work with this system (about 12hours of trying so far!). I followed the installation instructions on http://www.x2systems.com/AlienBBC/installation.html#linux however when I restarted slimserver at the end (I did this by re-booting my debian PC, several times) I could not see AlienBBC anywhere on the slimserver web interface. I also couldn't find it using my Squeeze box using my remote control. So I guess I did something wrong. My main slimserver directory seems to be /etc/slimserver and not /usr/local/slimserver as the instructions suggest. Is this OK? I tried running './slimserver.pl -d_plugin' in a shell from /etc/slimserver as the instructions suggest but it seems I don't have the file slimserver.pl (I did a search and couldn't find it anywhere on my system). I do have a directory /etc/slimserver/Plugins/Alien which contains a lot of pm files and some conf files. I chmoded all the files in this directory to be -rwxrwxrwx I installed mplayer using the instructions from the last post in this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17015.
