GentooPlayer

Now i have to buy a USB thumb drive :( lol I bought a 256 gig SD card 

[zackthedog]

Oh, no, you can use the SD card, then.

 

I have to remember how to do it.  I think it's very simple.  Go to System Base Config and Samba Share.  Use the drop-down menus to share "media".  Go to your PC and connect to the Allo's IP address.  The credentials are "root" and "gentooplayer".  Then you can add albums to the SD card.

 

 

[zackthedog]

If it's a PC you might have to mount the shared folder, I forget how you do it.  Mac is easier. ;-)

[zackthedog]

You might have to mount the large partition on the Allo first.

 

System Base Config

Mount Local Disk

Choose sda, then sda2 or the larger partition, name it "Music" and enable loading and execute.

 

Then go to Samba Share and share the Music folder.

ok ill have to get help with that later. Im still waiting for my Username n password . 
Then i have to update, select dac(?) install audirvana etc

Still sooo much to do.

[zackthedog]

The email will tell you what to input in Register.  What output are you using on the Allo?  USB or coax hat?

He's pretty prompt, though he's in Italy.  You should hear in the next few hours.  USB output should be default for Gentooplayer, but you can use Select DAC to set it, wouldn't hurt.

You can't copy music to the same SD-card where the system is, or rather you shouldn't, you may have several problems, like with the ramsystem function, either put the music on another medium and then mount the disk, or mount a network share.  (system base config > Mount Local Disk or Mount Remote Disk)

[KenMoreira]

ok so with mount remote disk , will that allow the player to see the music on home pc? 

 

[KenMoreira]

Ok so i installed GMRender, does it require any Config/setup

Same as Audirvana studio. How do i login to it

Hi @antonellocaroli - I've just upgraded from v8.3 to v8.6 and my Allo Usbridge Signature is no longer being found.

 

This only seems to be a problem with the realtime kernels. The Digione Signature is installed in a USBridge so I've used the specific USBridge gentooplayer installation. It all works fine until I select a RT kernel (I've tried RT-ST and RT-Min-nograph-eup and neither work). The standard ST kernel and Ultra-eup both work fine.

 

Home system -> system info doesn't show any audio cards with the RT kernels, but it does when I use a non-RT kernel.

 

Thanks for your help. The RT kernels were working fine in v8.3.

[KenMoreira]

what do the kernels do?

In v8.6 the RT kernels boot fine and the system appears to work in all respects other than the Digione Signature is not seen.

RT kernels on Rpi3, and therefore also on AlloUsbridge, are no longer supported. They only work with some usb dacs and some hat dacs.
