antonellocaroli Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 This is an image test for rpi3, with wifi support. Only with "ST" kernels. At boot time if it doesn't find an online network, create a wifi HotSpot, with IP 192.168.42.1. Reachable from any wifi device. It is displayed among wifi networks with the name gentooplayer, the password is gentooplayer to connect. Once connected you can open any app for ssh (terminus, putty, ssh on linux, etc) to access with user:root pw:raspirrot ip: 192.168.42.1 or a web browser and connect to 192.168.42.1:5000 Then configure wifi with the wificonfig command from the terminal or from the configure Wi-Fi webinterface. I tested with various devices, all of them connected to the HotSpot on the first shot, simply by entering the password, but on one I had to set the ip, i.e. from DHCP to ip static...in this way: if someone can do a test @franz159 @clipper clipper 1 GentooPlayer home Facebook Documentation Link to comment

So, even if it's not recommended, I went with chmod -R 777 and the compilation succeeded.... So, to recap, the entire process I followed to recompile squeezelite is this: gp-update emerge-webrsync I had never done it, so I waited for a while for this to complete.... chmod -R 777 /usr/portage USE="flac mad mpg123 resample" emerge --ask squeezelite At this point I was able to set Archimago "Extremus" parameters for resampling adding -R v::3.05:28:99.7:100:45 to squeezelite configuration, using command sqc: This is my resulting squeezelite configuration in file "/etc/conf.d/squeezelite": SL_OPTS="-C 1 -W -o hw:CARD=BossDAC,DEV=0 -r 44100-96000 -a 40:3::0 -b 2080:3528 -R v::3.05:28:99.7:100:45 -n GentooPlayer -m 00:f0:4c:68:d1:47" Note: as a positive side effect, adding the support for flac, Squeezelite is now working nicely with Qobuz. In this way in my LMS interface (LMS Material Skin) I have Squeezelite GentooPlayer for resampled listening and one Squeezelite GentoPlayer-R2 for bitperfect listening. Super cool! Link to comment

I understand some things up to a point but no more! When I was using piCore I relied on some ready stuff I found on line in Archimagos blog etc... and I implemented them inside the piCore GUI! If I try such a thing in Gentoo most probably I will make a mess! Regards Michael! Hi DomieMic65, I followed Antonello suggestions to recompile Squeezelite and enable reasmpling. If you want to give it a try, you can see a recap of the procedure in my previous post... Regards DomieMic65 1 Link to comment

Didi you recompile squeezeleite as per the process indicated by Antonello that I sumamrized in post #652?

DomieMic65 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Would you suggest upgrading to rpi4 (4GB) from 3B+? I was considering it about LMS but now I suppose GentooPlayer will benefit!

Thanks very much, antonellocaroli! This is working great with a Digione Signature and this wifi adapter: https://chicagodist.com/products/long-range-wifi-usb-with-antenna-for-raspberry-pi. I couldn't get wifi working with the Digione Signature's built-in wifi (in the RPI). With a USBridge Signature/Digione Signature combo unit - the same adapter gives me choppy/stuttering music when in USB (USBridge Signature) mode, but works perfectly in SPDIF (Digione Signature) mode.
