Hi there - first off I want to thank everyone for making piCoreplayer. My old chrome castaudio died and I replaced it with a raspberry pi running piCore and the outcome is so much better! I use stream airplay audio and spotify audio to it - and it works well. I really appreciate the work everyone has gone to making this product. So much went right for me - I was able to install two plugins (shairtunes2 and spotty) and both worked immediately.
I have a problem with stuttering - some times playback stops for a few seconds before continuing. I have been reading the forums and I've made some progress. I am using a wifi only connection. The audio output is to the raspberry pi headphone jack. 1. I have installed iw and used the command iw dev wlan0 get power_save to verify that power save is off (and this setting is now fixed). 2. My iwconfig results are: wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"...." Mode:Managed Frequency:5.18 GHz Access Point: Bit Rate=195 Mb/s Tx-Power=31 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality=41/70 Signal level=-69 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:20 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 Is this a fast enough connection? 3. If I ping the raspberry pi from another computer I get: PING 192.168.1.27 (192.168.1.27): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.27: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=6.209 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.27: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=14.335 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.27: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=8.158 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.27: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=14.111 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.27: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=14.710 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.27: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=11.235 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.27: icmp_seq=6 ttl=64 time=13.464 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.27: icmp_seq=7 ttl=64 time=13.987 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.27: icmp_seq=8 ttl=64 time=6.061 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.27: icmp_seq=9 ttl=64 time=11.959 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.27: icmp_seq=10 ttl=64 time=5.404 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.27: icmp_seq=11 ttl=64 time=11.764 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.27: icmp_seq=12 ttl=64 time=6.307 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.27: icmp_seq=13 ttl=64 time=11.527 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.27: icmp_seq=14 ttl=64 time=6.514 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.27: icmp_seq=15 ttl=64 time=11.941 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.27: icmp_seq=16 ttl=64 time=12.174 ms 4.
