Hello and thanks to the wonderful people who keep on developing this audio player.
I've finally got round to adding a relay to the power supply to my amp and driving the relay using a GPIO pin using help from another forum (first post - no links allowed) And it works great! (I made a few mods to the script, but those posts get you pretty close). Really awesome. I'm a stickler for zombie power draw. I can put up with the PI running 24/7, but not the amp. Now I just stop playing music and the amp turns itself off after <1min delay- this makes the sleep function so much more useful! And now I have seen that there is a new version of piCorePlayer. I installed the new version (this is well thought out - too easy to install), got my relay script working again, and then started messing around with shairport-sync. This will be great for the WAF, although I'm trying to phase out iDevices from the house... Shairport-sync works great, so far. Once enabled and installed, the AirPlay setting appears on the iPad, and music will start playing, but both through AirPlay and whatever LMS was playing. That gets a bit confusing - auto pause on the other service would be nice. And then once I do pause LMS (to just play the AirPlay music), the script detects that LMS is not playing and shuts off my Amp. Drat, I've outsmarted myself. I could keep playing LMS at zero volume, but this is supposed to be about increasing the WAF :-) I've had a look on google, but couldn't work it out - does anyone know how to detect if shairport-sync is playing so I can add that to my script? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ steveg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65327 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
