If the IP address is supplied by the DHCP server, it provides your PC alongside the IP address with other information - IP addresses of DNS servers, address of network gateway, default domain. If you configure your IP address by hand (static IP address), you have to supply this information manually.
Apparently your daphile system either knows no DNS servers or does not know how to reach them due to missing default gateway.
Very likely there are relevant input fields in the daphile static IP configuration.

yeah same issue here. Kipeta is working to resolve this on 14.10.
i ran a test version of this last night and got the wifi working again.
usb audio renderer
Hello. New to the forums. I bought a NAD M51 usb dac almost 2 months ago and recently noticed, when using the android app BubbleUPnP, it is recognized as a renderer. This app allows me to play my flac files off my Google Drive and other cloud services, directly to my DAC.
My question is, what is it Daphile uses that makes this possible? Can this be achieved in any Linux distribution?

IR Control
Hi, I've been using daphile for a week and its been great. I control it using ipeng, but it would be nice if I can map some basic controls like pause/play, previous/next track to my remote. Is that possible? While my headless pc does not have a built in IR receiver, I do have a FLIRC dongle I can use.
Thanks, Hammer8

Installing to a 4tb ha d drive
Hi, I tried to upgrade my existing drive to a 4 tb drive, but daphile won't install. Is there a max size drive I can use? Or am I doing something wrong? I did clear the drive at the F1 prompt and I also tried clearing the drive with gparted as suggested in other postings, but still no luck. Thank you.

Daphile currently does not support disks larger than 2TB. Please check "TODO" list at Daphile download/changelog page.
setup succeed
Just want to say thank you to Kipeta & would like to share my setup, hope this helps in case anyone having problem during installation.
Daphile: Installed on a USB 3.0 SSD drive, boot from USB
PC: Sony VAIO notebook (AMD E2-1800 APU / 8GB RAM / SSD)
Onboard Wifi: Atheros AR9485 11n-150mbps (Auto detected & configured, Static IP set)
DAC: Teac UD-501 via USB (Auto detected & working properly)
Remote control: [PC]Chrome browser on a Win 8.1 PC / [Android] Squeeze Commander v0.9.6.4 via Sony Xperia Z2 & Nexus 7 2013. Chrome on Android also working good.
Network drive: Mapped a shared drive on Win 8.1 via cifs (3TB), accessing via wifi, very fast response.

Got Daphile running on an HP T5730 thin client, specs:
AMD Mobile Sempron 2100+
1GB RAM
1GB Flash
Passive cooling!
Connected to a USB PCM2704 optical SPDIF box to Dynaudio Xeo 3. The Xeo transmitter works fine over USB as well, but currently I have my HTPC hooked up to that.
The box cost me EUR 25 (used), doesn't get much cheaper than that, I guess.
Had to fiddle a bit to get Daphile installed on the built-in 1GB flash, I manually made the partitions but had to boot into sysresccd and install Grub myself, would be nice to have an option to install Grub even on manual partitions. It took a second for me to realize there was no Grub install to MBR at all if you install this way. I'm using 600MB for Boot and 400MB for Data, seems to be more than enough for my library for now (about 12000 files).
By the way, some other posts in this threads mentioned problems using the 64bit version, but it installed fine on my device (and should, because the CPU is 64bit/x86_64).
The machine runs very smooth and it sounds like... well, any 1:1 digital connection to my DAC, but it's 100% clean. So yes, it sounds great! Loving the default options for bitperfect streaming, bypassing the mixer stuff, etc., exactly the way I would have set it up myself.
My files are on a separate NAS, I also love the fact that I can hook it up with sshfs, though my NAS does SMB as well. Scanning my entire collection over the network took a little under 10 minutes, a rescan for new files is done in under 30 seconds.
I bought Orange Squeeze, so far I think it's the best client on Android. Web interface works fine on all my other machines. Originally I was a Sonos user, but I run Linux on my desktop and there's no clean solution for controlling Sonos on Linux, no official app and no web interface either.
So thanks a lot for putting this together, I'm really loving it.

I plan on putting a 1TB HD in the old Dell laptop that runs Daphile so I don't have to use a USB external drive for music storage.
I'm trying to "select a target" USB stick to copy Daphile onto for installation on the replacement disk but options are grayed out.
I've done this before. 'Don't know what's different.
Thank you for Daphile.
Cheers, Mack

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Hi Mack, your problem is the drive is formatted...you want an unformatted drive...
see my post here..http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pc-b...le-music-server-player-os-61.html#post4044655
Edit.. are you trying to copy your existing Daphile install to a usb stick ?? you won't be able to do this from the running system.
You should download the current Daphile on another machine, write it to usb drive or cd, then use that to install to your laptop with the new drive in it.

New Daphile version added options for Squeezelite "stream" and "output" buffers. I did a few tests with different values and combinations, but it is really hard to tell about any improvement on sound quality. Also did some research on the fundamentals about these buffers, but it is not much explored terrain... For now, I should stick to default values.
Can you explain how the stream work? I don't undestand how to use the stream options.
Thx

This is what Adrian (aka Triode - Squeezelite creator) said at Slimdevices forum:
"There are two buffers - the first one stores the raw stream (compressed) audio, the second the decode audio. PCM is a special case as the process of decoding is just unpacking samples into the second buffer so they are in 32bit format which is used in the output thread, but this is only a special case of decoding. The decode process thread runs whenever there is enough data in the first buffer and enough free space in the second one.
So if you want to stream the whole file at the start then probably make the first one big and keep the second one smaller (defaults at 10 seconds). If you want to stream and decode the whole file at the start then make the second one big.
The second buffer is really only needed to allow crossfade to happen and to separate the high priority output thread from the rest of the processing. Note that it uses 8 bytes per sample (2x32bits) whereas the first buffer uses the native sample rate and so will use less memory for the same amount of audio."
