Gordian Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Hello, Thanks for the link. Tried gentooplayer on raspi4 but 1 - I can change change the output via 'choice of oudio output' but the pi does not want to reboot after that. 2 - Tried to add a config.txt in the boot folder but it doesn't seem to work. 3 - when I type "aplay -l" I have : card 0: DAC [I-Sabre Q2M DAC], device 0: I-Sabre Q2M DAC i-sabre-codec-i2c.1-0048-0 which is not my output.. I'm stuck Thanks join the resistance Link to comment

Gordian Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Hi All, Filippo solved the issue for me and now my rpi4 sings beautifully with Gentooplayer. One thing to check now is to know if the rpi4 sounds better than the rpi3 with more horsepower. Will share later antonellocaroli 1 join the resistance Link to comment
Gordian Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Hi All, A quick update about sound quality. Believe me or not, Raspi4 gives a better sound than Raspi3 in my Metrum Ambre. Sound is more opened, powerful, and refined. Ok that is not by a large step but for the raspi4 price, it is CLEARLY worth the hassle. join the resistance Link to comment

Patatorz Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 No i did not expanded the partition, only put Gnetooplayer on a 16Go sd card. i will do a gp-update (that i forgot) tonight. -------------------------------------------------------- Finally made the gp-udpate and runs fine.

antonellocaroli Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 I was thinking of integrating a web-interface... could that be useful? GentooPlayer home Facebook Documentation Link to comment
Gordian Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Hello a web-interface is a great idea either for configuration (ex: squeezlite as before) or regular maintenance (power off, ram in cache, update) or both (configuration and maintenance) . my preference would be « maintenance « or both. cheers antonellocaroli 1 join the resistance Link to comment
askat1988 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I am really liking this player, using on Rpi4 with 4gb ram. I want to update the Rpi firmware, what is the best way to do this? Do I need to go to a different image to do that? Can it be done while I am using Gentooplayer in ram? Sorry for maybe not using the right terminology, I am a novice in these matters.

Sorry for maybe not using the right terminology, I am a novice in these matters. I still haven't put a function to update the kernel... But that's something I'll do... However for updates, you always have to exit the ramsystem... GentooPlayer home Facebook Documentation Link to comment
askat1988 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Thank you so much for the quick reply. I think I understand now. I am interested in the updated Rpi4 firmware because it supposedly helps with heat issues. There is a beta about to be released that helps even more. https://www.cnx-software.com/2019/12/01/run-raspberry-pi-4-cooler-new-firmware-easy-trick/ The gentooplayer is reporting my CPU idling at 68C 😓.

clipper Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Bob, if you have trouble running squeezelite on more than one machine at the same time (meaning, one instance of it doesn't appear in Roon), you have to change the software MAC address in one of the machine's squeezelite config files. When they're both the same, Roon will only see one of them. At a command prompt (on one of the GentooPlayer machines): nano /etc/conf.d/squeezelite Edit the MAC address at the end by changing just one character. For instance, in the picture below, I would change the 47 at the end to 48. Then press control x to exit, and save. If you're in ramdisk mode, make sure to save to ramdisk. ---Steve Link to comment
