CamillaDSP for piCorePlayer

[JWahle]

I created a shell script, that makes it very easy to install CamillaDSP with GUI and automatic samplerate switching on a piCorePlayer.
Should work on Raspi 2/3/4.
Feel free to try it out at https://github.com/JWahle/piCoreCDSP

Much appreciated. Thank you.

I have a pi3... How do I get two (2) toslink out from that?

I have a pi3... How do I get two (2) toslink out from that?

You can use a hat like this:
https://www.amazon.it/HiFiBerry-Dig...scita+ottica+raspberry,electronics,112&sr=1-5

It provides only one toslink out, but you can use a toslink splitter like this:

Hope this helps.

Thanks Sandor! But it needs to be 2 addressable toslink as I want to do digital x-over.

it needs to be 2 addressable toslink as I want to do digital x-over.

Then you must keep synchronisation between the two ways of the x-over.
The only solution I am aware of is to use a multi-channel DAC.

Hi,
Your effort to provide an easy way to install camilla is very much apprecited!
However, I've tried to use your script. I'm not able to reach the Camilla GUI after installing it.
I've included copy of the installation result.

Seems like there was a network error while downloading the dependencies.
Just reboot the piCorePlayer and run the install script again.

 

[Sandasnickaren]

I've tried it.It seems I'm getting the same result. I tried both on the current installation and on a new fresh Picoreplayer installation.

Hmmm, this is strange.

md5sum: WARNING: 2 of 2 computed checksums did NOT match
Error on ca-certificates.tcz

It seems like some files are getting corrupted, while downloading from the piCorePlayer extension repository.
I expected this to be a one time or temporary issue, but it was ca-certificates.tcz both times.
You did increase the file system as per my guide, right?
Maybe your SD-Card is broken. Can you try another one?

If this doesn't help, here are some things to consider:
Are you using an unaltered piCorePlayer 8.2.0?
Is your network connection stable? If using WIFI, try wired network.

 

[Sandasnickaren]

No success.
I've:
increased the file system
Re-installed raspberry pi image writer
Re-downloaded image
Changed SD card
Tried both LAN and WIFI
Always the same result as per above.
Have you tried the script recently?

 

[JWahle]

Yes, I tried it with my 64-bit piCorePlayer on my Raspberry Pi 3B+ before writing the reply, yesterday.
It was working fine.
Are you using 32bit or 64bit piCorePlayer?

ca-certificates.tcz is a dependency of git.
You can try to install git manually via Main Page > Extensions > Available, then select git.tcz and load.
If this works, you can remove git from the script line
tce-load -wil -t /tmp git compiletc libasound-dev
(change to tce-load -wil -t /tmp compiletc libasound-dev).
Then run the modified script.

 

[Greg Erskine]

We tend to use pcp-load instead of tce-load. Paul enhances pcp-load to work more reliably.
In pCP8 its about 50%, in pCP9 it will be 100%.

 

[Sandasnickaren]

It's working!
I've tried both 32 and 64 didn't make any difference.
Tried your suggestion above installed git and run the script, no success.
Installed LMS on a refreshed image.
Run the script, now it almost worked , got stuck in a download sequence, possibly network problem.
Refreshed the image, installed LMS and run the script again, finally success!
I dont know if it was the unstable network creating the problem or the lack of installed LMS causing the problem?
I'm happy music is playing!
Thanks for your support!

 

[Stretchie]

How can I integrate the Flirc USB IR receiver for volume control. Does the description of Ralphy also work for this setup with Camilla?

Thanks.

 

[JWahle]

I think, it should work.

Good to know. I will change the script to use pcp-load where possible.

It's working!

Very nice.

Hi.

As I am totally new to this, I am enthusiastic to have found your method to do this.
Unlucky for me I tried your script and I am running into a similar problem.
This is what i get:

I would really appreciate your help on this.


Thank you in advance

 

[JWahle]

You can just reboot and run the install script again, did you try that?
Sometimes, there are just random failures. This looks like one.

 

[Nikyo]

Thanks for the fast reply, I am back home now.

I tried a few times and reset the image but always get the same error.
I'm connected over ethernet if this helps.
I also tried to load libasound-dev.tcz per Extension loader but to no avail.

 

[Stretchie]

I had the same issue with the server or network, it works now. It's not a script issue.
