Hi I have update the piCoPlayer. piCoPlayer is a dedicated player (like a Duet receiver) build on a small read-only linux (Microcore) and Triodes excellent Squeezelite player. It is now even smaller that the first version (26 MB in total). There is no writing to the SD-card and therefore no risk of corruption of your card - just pull the power if you need to. After booting everything is sitting in RAM.
Out of the box, the analog audio via the 3.5" jack is working. If you want to use a USB DAC, you will need to supply the correct squeezelite commands - for this you can use the setup menu. The setup-script can be used in two different ways: 1. Connect via SSH (use putty from another computer on the same LAN (user=tc, password=nosoup4you)). At the command promt write; picoplayer which will start the setup-script. 2. If you have a keyboard and screen connected to your raspberry. At the command promt write: picoplayer which will start the setup-script. The WiFi is supposed to work - I have not tested it, but I have seen a few reports that it is working on the piCore linux which is used for building this player. Please test it and report your findings. Also suggestions in improving the set-up script is welcome. The piCoPlayer image can be downloaded here: http://rapidshare.com/files/2536786570/piCoPlayer_v2.img Regards STeen Changes from version 1: 1. WiFi included (needs further testing) 2. Even smaller now (26 MB) 3. Is optimized for both 256 and 512 MB Raspberry boards 4. SSH access via Dropbear. User = tc Password = nosoup4you 5. Analog and USB sound is tested and is working 6. Included is a set-up menu that makes it easy to: a. Download and update Squeezelite b. Auto setup for analog audio from 3.5 jack c. Detect and show the available USB devices d. Option to easily change the squeezelite options (output, name MAC address etc) e. Save these changes so they survive a reboot on the "read-only" microcore structure f. Reboot to start using the changes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sbp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37237 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97884 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
