While we're aware that WTFplay couldn't support any network connections yet and having an active network adapter might also affect the SQ to a certain extent, wouldn't it be nice to take advantage of Intel AMT instead since it's always on once we've got that enabled on specific motherboards?
Intel AMT versions - Wikipedia
Basically we just need to get any NUC models listed below or simply take a look at the list linked above, we could simply get any motherboards with one of those "C" / "Q" / "W" series chipsets as well as Intel Core / Xeon processors that are eligible for vPro Platform
Intel(R) vPro™ and Intel(R) NUC Products
We could actually mount an ISO image remotely and then network boot was working just fine as shown below

No need for monitors / keyboards/ USB sticks, get the playlist loaded and then we could even unplug the Ethernet cable afterwards.
Most likely there will be some BIOS options to allow booting without any monitors attached, otherwise it's also quite easy to find a dummy plug like this

Hi,
I would like let you know that I am planing to remove HFS+ file system support in
the next release of wtfplay-live.
HFS+ is the old filesystem for OSX. It has been replaced by Core Storage
(Fusion Drive) in OSX Lion (2011). Core Storage has in turn been replaced by
APFS introduced in OSX High Sierra (2017).
Are there anyone who is running wtfplay-live on a 10+ years old Apple hardware
and be potentially affected this change?
Here is how to check whether HFS+ is used. Run wtfplay-live and type mnt
command. Any storage with HFS+ will have hfsplus in the FS column.

How TO: Increase Text Size on Screen ?
Hi frd__
Thank you again for upping the SQ with the release of v0.7.3 ! Combined with the new priority setting ("5"), I'm having to get acquainted with the usual rotation of "test tracks" all over again. Marvelous.
I would like to follow up on my request (from post #249) for a way to make the text on the screen larger - and therefore readable from a distance. Squinting through my progressive lenses is counter-productive. I'm only too happy to issue a command at the start of a session, if it will make it easier to see what I'm doing.
In a perfect world, this could be "remembered" through wtfsetup, but I don't want to be clogging up the persistence file just for one squinty old guy !
Thanks for considering my request.
Cheers,
Grant

Hi Grant,
I have noted your request and have already some work in progress to address the screen font size.

Please, tell me how to get sound with rme digi 32; digi 96 ?
output hw:0,0
the player plays the file but there is no sound.

Please help me launch the rme digi 96. The player plays the file, but there is no sound.The output is set to coax. spdif rme-hw:0.0

Sorry for late response. I do not have this card so just guessing here.
Did you try both: hw:0 and hw:0,1?

Tried various hw options. If hw: 0.1, the spdif output is disabled. At the same time, in other linux alsa systems, these cards work OK
For example, a sound card rme digi works great with the Yoctoap distribution (32-bit, PC)Album Player for Linux
I really want to hear wtfplay, help me figure it out

The screenshot reads "Input connector - coax". Are you sure you have enabled output coax?

With these settings, the same thing - no sound

Are those the all mixer controls that you can see?
Yes sir 🙂 There is nothing more. Rme digi 96/8 has only spdif digital output.
Interesting case. Would you be happy to type some commands?
What do you get with this one:
This should print all mixer controls. You can browse them all and see if is there anything related or "suspicious".
You can go even deeper with:

Code:

Thanks. It looks like the last command you did a small mistake, but do not worry about it. May I ask you also to try this command:
We can also try investigating from another angle. You said that the card totally works under a different Linux distribution. Would you be able to try alsamixer, amixer and aplay -l with that distribution. If it works there but does not work here, then we can try to figure out what is different. It is quite possible that I missed something when making the image.
Thank you for your patience with the debugging and I apologize if this seem a bit chaotic. It is not always easy without accessing the hardware.

olen77: would you be able to run the following command:
This should list all controls offered by the card, not just related to the mixer.

amixer contents | less
