I want to check first if you have already done something with the webinterface...

post me the result of the command:

 

ls -l /root/.RoonServer/

You have already used the webinterface to move it.

Now if you want to move it back to the other disk you have to execute these commands from the shell, let's say your disk is mounted in
/media/music2

 

rm /root/.RoonServer/Database

mkdir -p /media/musica2/roondatabase
cp -R /backup/roondatabase/Database /media/musica2/roondatabase/
ln -s /media/musica2/roondatabase/Database /root/.RoonServer
file /root/.RoonServer/Database

if everything is OK remove the old one
rm /backup/roondatabase/Database

@antonellocaroli:

 

Is there a way to customize a bit further on what will be loaded in Ramsystem?

For example, I only run either Roon Bridge or HQPlayer NAA at a time on my USBridge Signaure. So might only need to load 1 of them to Ramsystem at boot to save time and RAM.

Thanks

No, it is not possible.
But if you want to speed up loading and ram usage, you should first delete all the software that does not interest you.
Update/Switching/Remove > Software Remove

Between loading roonbridge only or both roonbridge and networkaudiod, almost nothing changes.

Thank you,

 

I'll remove unused softwares then.

Hi, I have a matrix spdif2 device, which uses the alsa protocol. I’m just wondering if there are any specific configuration that can be set for it, in terms of buffer size and things. I think I noticed euphony was using different settings I thought.

 

anyway, I suppose I was just wondering if other music software like euphony is actually employing dac/device specific settings and whether gp could too ?

if you use squeezelite-R2, you can change both the input and output buffers, and also the alsa parameters.
which are the most suitable for your output, I have no idea....you just have to experiment...

Thank you, I wonder is it possible to run roon server and squeezelite r2 on the same machine / gp2 instance?

Is there an in-situ update to the new 3.50 images or do we need to re-flash?

 

Thanks

no, it is not available.
It is better to wait to re-flesh it, as version 3.51 is coming out soon.

OK - thanks - I'll wait.

[manueljenkin]

Is there any problem with the site right now? I'm unable to access the downloads.

 

I have been using wtfplay for my music playback. My device is a surface book 2015, and I'll prefer an interface similar to wtfplay (command line based). What's the correct image for me?

one of these two, depending on whether you have a bios or uefi system

no problem on the site

[DomieMic65]

after having problems with my home connection for almost 3 weeks it seems I'm back on line...

 

as I saw in some posts above it's better not to re-flash to v3.50 and wait for 3.51... yes?

 

Thanks!!

 

Happy Holidays to all!!!

In Gentooplayers documentation ... regarding RPis the CPUs are considered like this :

CPU 0: is CPU number 1 , CPU 1: is Nr 2 etc .... 

 

OR

 

CPU 0 is nr 0, CPU 1 is NR 1 etc? 

 

So regarding profiles: In profile 1 when you say that players are moved to CPU 3 you mean Nr 3 or 4?

 

Thank you!

@antonellocaroli: I have re-flashed to V3.61 and realized there is Min-Nograph-Test Kernel. Profile 2 works with this kernel on USBridge Signature at DSD256 without pop / clicking noise.

Under this Kernel, look like Real Time Clock is enable and GPkernel1 is also enable. Does it mean that this Test kernel work as Real Time kernel?

 

Since V3.5 til 3.61, I could not run bcmstat successfully via Web-interface. Below are the error messages:

 

Traceback (most recent call last):

raise CalledProcessError(retcode, process.args,

subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['/usr/bin/vcgencmd', 'get_mem', 'reloc_total']' returned non-zero exit status 255.

 

Is there any reason for this issue?

 

Thanks

@antonellocaroli: Sono tornato alla versione V3.61 e mi sono reso conto che esiste il kernel Min-Nograph-Test. Il profilo 2 funziona con questo kernel su USBridge Signature su DSD256 senza rumore di pop / clic.

Sotto questo kernel, sembra che l'orologio in tempo reale sia abilitato e anche GPkernel1 sia abilitato. Significa che questo kernel di test funziona come kernel Real Time?

 

Dalla V3.5 alla 3.61, non potevo eseguire bcmstat con successo tramite l'interfaccia web. Di seguito sono riportati i messaggi di errore:

C'è qualche motivo per questo problema?

 

Grazie

 

MIN-NOGRAPH-TEST is a low latency kernel, but not RT.

bcmstat does not work with MIN kernels.
