Strange questions: to run MPD, just enable MPD in the web interface. Similarly for running the system in RAM. What do you mean by "appropriate"? What sounds better might depend on your system and ... on your ears! Link to comment
nbpf Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 12 hours ago, Aberrant-Decoder said: Thanks for replying, I see of course the options are there and used them but am still also a bit confused. When I went to run ram mode it’s preselections has more players then I needed for example. and I have no idea which kernels to choose or how an outsider could possibly know which to choose for whatever reason 🙂 I also have a terrible habit of wasting loads of time lol, so that’s why I’m trying to find a source of educational knowledge on the product, and I’ve just read the 50 pages of the thread. (ps i had been using a direct session via putty onto gento player, i now see the web interface is much more friendly for me) Could anyone suggest to me the correct way to achieve the following. I have an external usb drive (seagate), it has a folder on it called 'music'. I therefore need to mount just that folder into the media/music folder. I want to run in rammode, so dont want to fall foul of 1tb of music being loaded into ram. I know previously, I would mount the seagate disk, using fstab, then mount again from that mount into the media/music folder. It is great that Antonello is offering different kernel and ramdisk options for those who like experimenting. If many users do so and report their observations in a reasonably precise and comparable way, this might even lead to new findings and eventually improved defaults. But, to tell you the truth, I am personally not very interested in trying out all meaningful combinations and my experiences so far (both with own Raspbian based systems with and without RP kernels and, more recently, with GenTooPlayer) suggest that the differences are, if any and in my system and with my ears, negligible. The same holds for streaming (over wired or wireless) from another RPi running MinimServer as compared to streaming from a local drive and with MinimServer running on the same machine that also runs upmpdcli. The bottom line is that I use the default kernel and no ramdisk and my setup looks as follows: Profile: Profile not Setting RamSystem: Ramsystem not enabled Free memory: 779MB of total 968MB Kernel: 4.19.97-GentooPlayer-ST+ ─────────────────────────────────────── GentooPlayer | 10:29 | mer 08/04/2020 ─────────────────────────────────────── v2.12 | Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+ (aarch64) ─────────────────────────────────────── wlan0 | 192.168.178.32 ─────────────────────────────────────── Players Info: Squeezelite-R2 [Disabled] Squeezelite [Disabled] Networkaudiod [Disabled] LigitechMediaServer [Disabled] BubbleUpnp [Disabled] HQPlayer Embedded [Disabled] Mpd [Enabled] UpMpdCli [Enabled] RoonBridge [Disabled] RoonServer [Disabled] Mpd-Sima [Disabled] MYmpd [Disabled] minimserver [Enabled] shairport-sync [Disabled] *** Scanning for playback devices *** Card 0, ID `sndallodigione', name `snd_allo_digione' Device 0, ID `Allo DigiOne HiFi wm8804-spdif-0', name `Allo DigiOne HiFi wm8804-spdif-0', 1 subdevices (1 available) 2 channels, sampling rate 32000..192000 Hz Sample formats: S16_LE, S24_LE Buffer size range from 64 to 131072 Period size range from 32 to 65536 Subdevice 0, name `subdevice #0' AUDIO CARDS CARD TYPE ADDRESS NAME -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- card0 Internal Audio card card0 --> -- Allo DigiOne HiFi card0 STATUS --> closed -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/root ext4 14G 3.3G 11G 25% / devtmpfs devtmpfs 10M 0 10M 0% /dev tmpfs tmpfs 97M 320K 97M 1% /run cgroup_root tmpfs 10M 0 10M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup shm tmpfs 485M 0 485M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda1 ext4 916G 476G 394G 55% /media/sd [ OK ] Root access verified. ───────────────────────────────────────────────────── Gentooplayer CPU Info Use cpu-governor to change CPU / performance options ───────────────────────────────────────────────────── Architecture | aarch64 Temp | 52'c : 125'f | Running warm, but safe.

It seems to show bars on the screen with master volume at 40%. Do i want to change that so its at 100% in order to get a bit perfect signal passed to the sound card ? Are you replaying via MPD? If so, have you selected "Player Setting > MPD BitPerfect"? What is in this case the value of "mixer_type" in "/etc/mpd.conf"? See also https://www.musicpd.org/doc/html/user.html. Link to comment
nbpf Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I have noticed that "HQPlayer Embedded" cannot be enabled on my system (4.19.97-GentooPlayer-ST+, v2.12 | Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+ (aarch64)): selecting "enable" and the "execute" in "B.

nbpf Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 4 hours ago, zackthedog said: Well, I'm at a loss here. I've been on GP 2.10 with my Allo USB Sig and everything's been working just fine for months. Then I thought, I'll upgrade to 2.11. What a mistake. Everything went wrong--web gui got wonky, started getting skipping again, phooey. I reburned the chip with 2.10. But now I cannot get anything to work the way it was! Wouldn't play DSD so I tried switching the kernel, then the kernel list disappeared, tried gp-update, then everything disappeared. It is completely borked! I cannot get anything work to properly. Now it won't boot at all! What on earth am I doing wrong? I had a similar problem, albeit with wireless connection only. For me it was crucial to restart the router. While my own Raspbian-based system has been upgraded over years and never failed to reconnect after upgrade, I have found GenTooPlayer to be a bit fussy with respect to upgrades. There are some oddities: one should not reboot GenTooPlayer from the command line with `reboot` as this seems not to preserve the wireless settings. Another strange thing is that, after upgrade, the hotspot was enabled. I never enabled the hotspot myself. Since two weeks 2.12 works stably but, to this end, I had to reinstall 2.10, upgrade to 2.12 and then setup my system, not the other way round which is what naturally happens in a legacy system.

Hqple takes possession of the audio output and doesn't release it until you close it, so putting it on boot the other players won't work. Interesting, thanks. It would be good to document this fact, perhaps something like HQPlayer Embedded (not available, planned): Embedded version of HQPlayer.More Info instead of HQPlayer Embedded: Embedded version of HQPlayer.More Info in the "Enable/Disable Software" menu page?

nbpf Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 24 minutes ago, antonellocaroli said: The probelma is not the "reboot", the problem is the script that enables the hotspot. At reboot, if for some reason there is no valid internert network, start the hotspot and in car you lose the wifi configuration. So, once you have configured a network, it is convenient to disable the hotspot. Advanced systems > TWK varius either simply rm /etc/local.d/ireteonline.start Thanks for the clarifications, the hotspot is now disabled. By the way, there seems to be a glitch in the `Advanced systems > TWK varius` menu: in some settings the values are repeated like in the enclosed picture. Also, in my system, the menu is called `Systems Avanzate`, not `Advanced systems`. Link to comment

Now it should be fix. gp-update set these values as "default", click on excute. Then re-set the frequencies. Now you should never repeat them again. After doing this, the ARM frequency is displayed correctly (1000) but the Core Frequency reading is 400400400400 (instead of 400) and /boot/config.txt has disappeared: Link to comment

nbpf Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Since I have updated to 2.13, the date of my system is broken. I can fix it manually but, after a couple of days, it is broken again.

GenTooPlayer 2.13 does not work reliably in my network, either the date is broken or upmpdcli needs to be restarted manually after each reboot or both. Booting is slow and the web interface is sluggish. Perhaps something went wrong when upgrading from 2.12 to 2.13 but then the same problems occurred months ago when I was updating from 2.11 to 2.12. Raspbian Lite boots in a few seconds and is rock solid. After days of inactivity, UpMpd is immediately available and responsive as soon as I open a control point. I will come back to GenTooPlayer in a few weeks/months and then report my findings. Thanks for your support! Best, nbpf Link to comment
nbpf Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Upgrading from 2.13 to 2.14 has fixed the date problems and the long booting times, see There is still the problem that I need a file with rc-service upmpdcli restart in a file in /etc/local.d for upmpdcli to become visible in my control points.
