Gordian Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 The idea is to send the music from Chrome to an UPNP server. To do that, I use a virtual cable on my windows machine. I think on Linux, it's easier to redirect the audio stream to the UPNP server join the resistance Link to comment
zackthedog Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Can someone please help? I can't get GP to work anymore on my Allo USB Sig. I have burned a fresh copy of 2.10. It offers no update to 2.11. I tried gp-update but now the web menu is blank. I can SSH in but it offers a limited menu. How do I get it to work again? If I start with 2.10, what is the first thing I need to do to update the system? I'd appreciate any help. Link to comment

Gavin1977 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Hi @antonellocaroli Could you tell us a little more about how / if Gentoo Player scales over CPU cores? I am interested in how it scales with increased core count and how you would approach assigning the different processes / players in Gentoo Player to their own cores. As I’m sure you’re aware the very high end servers can have dual Xeon or Epyc processors with very high core count to distribute the workload. Interested in what you think and what an appropriate processor for Gentoo Player is in your opinion. Thanks once again. Aberrant-Decoder 1 Link to comment
bodiebill Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Recently, the static ip address of my GP endpoint does not persist. When I restart it gets assigned a dynamic address (192.168.1.116) rather than the static one (192.168.1.203) that I assigned using iipstatic. I do this when not in ramsystem. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? audio system Link to comment

I think that the assignment of the cores makes sense only with low workloads, so indicated on the pc that acts as "player", I see it quite useless (and probably even harmful) on PCs with powerful processors that have to do "server-audio" work and where you may have to do upsample pushed...

Aberrant-Decoder Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 i love how easy it is to add support for ExFat, once you start getting a bit more familiar with it. its very modular and pleasant. Link to comment

Patatorz Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Thanks a lot I missed this information. This is based on fuse that seems more performing and even perhaps the only one supported nowadays ? Blog / Forum Link to comment

Thanks. So you are suggesting that many cores are good, but the CPU/Operating system should allow processes to be distributed across the cores automatically as required? How many CPU cores can/is Gentoo Player able to utilise? Does it scale with the number of players enabled? Link to comment

I use it so that I can play concerts\music thats only found on youtube, to my music server (via my iphone\youtube app). you could airplay anything from your iphone\ipad to the music server, but for most things, there are better options like Upnp. Airplay is a limited protocol\codec, so its best to use Upnp where that is available. DomieMic65 1 Link to comment

Aberrant-Decoder Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 ive noticed that after I do a RamSave operation, then the web ui \ service stops. When i try to restart the service from the console, its saying Quote start-stop-daemon: /opt/.gentooplayer/web/launcher.py does not exist i think if i reboot, it will be fine. Link to comment
luisma Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 For a Celeron fanless minipc which only does NAA and have 2 cores (no HT) Does this custom profile makes sense? trying to prioritize the USB connected to a DAC over the network a little bit Link to comment
