piCorePlayer = piCore Linux + Raspberry Pi + Squeezelite

[Henderson]

Hi there,


One more PicorePlayer (the last 3.22) is playing


Datas were left on an old Synology 210J (800 MHz/128 Mo ram)
LMS with cache are on the Pi3 ; power supply is a Tecknet portable battery for Smartphone.
Datas comes through the provider box hub via a cat5 non folded and non pairs shielded cable (the most basic one can find: U/UTP)
PicorePlayer is not tweaked (Advanced menu) by switching off some functionalities (wifi, etc)
As the Pi3 is streaming through the I2S pin header via Iancanada GPIO header to I2S plugs adapter I chose in the Picore menu for this output : RPI-DAC output !


....And it worked at the first try


Very reliable development and product : bravo and many thanks to the PcP team.

Can't save Squeezelite settings - "Match the requested format"

Hi Greg,

I have been using pcp v1.19 for quite a while on my Pi2 and everything runs like a dream. Thank you and the team's effort for developing such a great software!

I just bought a new Pi3 and tried the latest v3.22 pcp, but I am experiencing an issue that I can't save the Squeezelite settings if I put the "-D" as the "Device supports DoP" parameter, a "Match the requested format" pops up when I press the "save" button. (pls see the attached screen capture)

In my existing Pi2/pcp1.19, the same setting works fine. I tried to did some research on google but no luck.

Could you please advice what the issue could be? Thanks.

By the way, I tried both normal version and audio version, same issue.

hi Jackybrown,

You need to add a number not -D, the -D is added automatically.

Before you where effectively adding "-D -D".

As we develop the software we have been adding code to prevent incorrect input.

The "Various input" field is free format (I think).

Thank you for your prompt response, that solves the problem!

Maybe for other newbie's benefit, just to clarify here:
If you don't put in any values in this parameter, LMS will convert the DSD file to PCM. But if you put in a number in, such as a "0", LMS will transmit the DSD file via DoP.

Again, thanks Greg! What's a wonderful software!

Hi! I have PI3b+Kali+Pinao2.1. Install piCoreplayer3.22 audio version+LMS7.9.1.Playing DSD64 music is normal, has no problem!
But it plays DSD128 misic and the LMS7.9.1 condition looks normal, but, has no sound! What’s is the problem with piCoreplayer? How to set it up playing DSD128 music?

Hi, as of now I'm trying the picore player on my Rpi3. Great sound so far!

I understood I could switch on shairport on the 'tweaks' subsection. However, only 'hostname' and 'timezone' are displayed. What am I missing?

hi Onvinyl,

I think this may explain it.

Well, I don‘t have these tabs ‚basic|normal|advanced‘

 

[Onvinyl]

Same goes for lms — without the tabs showing up, i can‘t activate it

 

[ianrt]

From memory, the extra options tabs appear on the first page (Main Page) and, once selected, then appear on the other pages.

Quote from the Help:

"Initially, the Mode tabs are only on the bottom left hand side of the [Main Page] and none are highlighted."

We are trying to keep the pages as "clean" as possible until you get used to the basic functions, maybe too clean.

 

[Onvinyl]

As can be seen from my screenshot, it does *not* show up.
I‘ve found the workaround to manually enter the adress /cgi-bin/main.cgi in my browser.

It‘s working as expected now.

Your screenshot was of the Tweaks page, not the Main Page.

You need to follow the advice provided by Greg. Select the "main" page, on this page choose "advanced" (tab at the bottom of the page)

 

[Onvinyl]

I appreciate your help guys, and it‘s not that i not tried all this, it just didn‘t work as expected.

I did not get access to the advanced tab until i did as described in my last post. It works now, what would imwant more?

Does the [ Main Page ] button not work?

 

[Onvinyl]

It looked ok so far, but didn‘t display those ‚basic | normal | advanced | beta‘ - tabs. I looked in ~/www and tried several of the cgi-scripts until i got those tabs

Now it works as advertised, even after reboots

 

[Onvinyl]

Would the player recognize a usb-drive with music files on it on the fly to use with lms, btw?

Or... just click on the [ Main Page ] button.

No, as i said, that didn‘t do it...
