Hi all.
I have a new version ready. 'piCorePlayer_1.11'
(https://sites.google.com/site/picoreplayer/home/news)
It is piCorePlayer version 1.11 it is a major rework as it now has a
build in web server, so you can control the settings via your
web-browser. Simply use the IP-address of the raspberry and port number
8077. Something like 192.168.1.24:8077 And then it should be fairly
simple to change the settings of your player.
I have only used a very small web-server with CGI support and bash
scripting, so it is very lightweight and I haven't seen any negative
impact on a running system.
It has support for the I2S HiFiBerry DAC which is based on a 5102 chip
and a recent report stated that it also supported another I2S DAC based
on the ES9023 chip.
The I2S DACs are working really well, as they don't connect via USB
which sometimes can be problematic on a raspberry.
I suspect that more I2S-DACs will become available, and if I have access
to them, I will try to support them in piCorePlayer
*Changes:*
*
HDMI*
For those of you using HDMI, I have incorporated the suggestions by
Burki:
Code:
--------------------
hdmi_drive=2
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_force_edid_audio=1
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
--------------------
And also the suggestion from Pete:
Code:
--------------------
amixer cset numid=3 2
--------------------
So hopefully the HDMI output will be fixed. Also I have patched the
kernel, so now I think that you should be able to get 192.000 kHz via
HDMI again.
But please test this HDMI stuff, because I'm not using HDMI myself and
it is difficult for me to test it properly
*New configuration option:
*You can log into piCorePlayer as usual (user:tc password:nosoup4u) and
write picoreplayer. Then the old configurations script is still there
(here you can also disable the we-server if you don't want it)
However, I would like to hear your opinion on the new configuration via
your browser: use IP-address:8077 something like 192.168.1.24:8077
(this is my IP address, yours will be different).
*Tweaks section:
*Here you can play with changing the number of NR-packs. Change the
hostname of your player and change your overclocking settings (it can
have an effect if you are using USB-DAC's)
*About section:*
Here you can easily see what version of piCorePlayer and Squeezelite you
are using.
Also the content of your config.cfg file is shown.
*NEW option:
*In order to make it easier to port your settings to another
piCorePlayer (and also to change your settings offline) I have made a
file "newconfig.cfg" which you can download from here: 'newconfig.cfg'
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/picoreplayer/files/newconfig.cfg/download)
If you place this file on a USB stick that is present during booting of
your piCorePlayer, the file newconfig.cfg, will be copied and used as
the config.cfg file on the piCorePlayer.
It has been suggested that I should put this file in the FAT-formatted
partition on the SD-Card, and I might do that in the next version. But
for now you need to put it on a USB-stick that is present during
booting.
Please report all the bugs, and suggestions for improvement.
