HQPlayer Linux Desktop and HQplayer embedded

[Miska]

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470
Then CUDA works in HQplayer, but now I got a desktop installed as well which is really annoying, because now my server goes to sleep after 20 minutes. It is only if I login to the desktop and disable sleep it will not go to sleep as long as I log in each time I start the server. So not really headless anymore.

 

Not really sure why it would go to sleep in 20 minutes, since I have two machines with Ubuntu desktop running 24/7 where I login remotely. And these never go to sleep.

 

But anyway, you can disable desktop startup at boot with

sudo systemctl set-default multi-user

Thanks, very helpful to know. I used this for both my Roon server (Intel NUC - Ubuntu 20.04 minimal) and HQP NAA (fitlet2 - Linux Mint) for which I typically only access via SSH (PuTTY) and no need for GUI.

Are there another version than nvidia-dkms-470 that will work with hqplayer embedded?

 

By the way, have you tried installing just the regular Nvidia driver, not from repository but from their installer package. It could work as it shouldn't pull in anything. Of course it is not as "clean" as installing something from a repository, but at least it shouldn't break anything either.

question
linux-headers-5.10.42-jl+_5.10.42-jl+-1_amd64.deb is real-time embedded kernel ??

If not, is there an equally good kernel?

It is low-latency kernel. Nvidia driver is not compatible with realtime kernel.

I have not yet built any kernels for Debian 11.

Yes... Debian 10 is called "buster" and Debian 11 is called "bullseye". Ubuntu 20.04 is named "Focal Fossa" aka "focal".

This is the case， used the system installed by'debian-11.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso' ,Standard installation, and then used the package linked to https://www.signalyst.eu/bins/hqplayerd/bullseye/hqplayerd_4.25.2-86amd_amd64.deb, an error occurred::: :Segmentation fault！

The machine is nuc11 i7 pro

What is that "sudo hqplayerd hq hq" trying to do and why do you do that?

It won't do anything useful... It shouldn't crash either, but in any case remove that step from your set of commands.

 

These are not needed and shouldn't be done

This shouldn't be needed either. If you need to do this, then you will have other problems as well, because you have number of other things being blocked by your firewall.

You first start it from the console and then try to restart the service. Since you started it with "&" it is already running in background.

 

Since you are already logged in as "root", you don't need to use "sudo" either.

I need some assistance getting my local files set up to play via HQPlayer (I have been using Roon plus HQPlayer to date).  I tried with limited success importing my local files into HQPlayer embedded. I provided the path on my sonicTransporter where all of my files reside. HQPlayer told me to wait 10 seconds, and then ... only 75 of my 1,000+ albums got imported.

I have this setup right now. Is your music on an internal drive inside the sT or USB or NAS?

 

Sometimes it takes a little while for the scan to complete. 

[jiminlogansquare]

Internal drive inside the SonicTransporter. and I have tried multiple times and waited quite some time now. Always only 75 albums get imported. The perhaps confusing element here is that it tells me it is done, but it obviously is not done.

Can I return or redirect the discussion to, how do I use my current convolution filters - which are two-channels and were created by @mitchco using Audiolense - with HQPlayer, which as far as I can see demands that you have separate convolution files for each channel, left and right?

You need to split those files into two mono WAVs. For example using free Audacity application.

 

HQPlayer uses mono files, because in complex setups like for example doing multi-channel digital cross-overs it wouldn't be clear which channel in filter file applies to which matrix pipeline.

 

[jiminlogansquare]

I followed this advice (actually, @mitchco graciously assisted me in doing this work). The split filters work beautifully in HQPlayer. In fact, similar to when I moved DSD conversion/upsampling out of Roon and into HQPlayer, I am finding that the process runs more efficiently such that I am now able to use poly-sinc-ext3 with Nx Oversampling, which would cause occasional dropouts when I was running the convolution filter in Roon. So, a nice improvement. Thanks!
