So if you are connected by cable, restart your router and check that the lan connection is ok. GentooPlayer home Facebook Documentation Link to comment
bergui45 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Using Fing to check deeply inside my network i cannot see any item like my Raspberry PI4? So the sh... hits the fan... I will then switch back to RopieXL instead because obviously Things are not working as expected with the archive installed in the MicroSD... I may have to perform prior a full Ubuntu since moving from RopieXL to GentooPlayer = big mess! Thank you everybody who kindly tried to help me Link to comment
DomieMic65 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 my 2c ... if you want a roon endpoint I suppose ropieee is a valid choice... Even though I do not use roon I installed ropieeeXL in an msd card just for checking and worked OK with squeezelite/librespot/upnp. I suppose with roon it will be even better! So if you use roon go for it ... if you do not I see no point in ropieee ... Gentooplayer is far more flexible and gives you so many ways to configure your setup. I think it's worth giving it a chance Mac Mini with JRMC26 or Audirvana / Raspberry4B_4GB(GentooPlayer_LMS) / Raspberry Rpi3B+: Allo DigiOne(GentooPlayer) - M2Tech Evo DAC Two Plus/iPurifier2 - Schiit Vali 2 - Densen DM20pre/30pwr amps - Spendor SP2/3E, Sennheiser HD600 & HD25Aluminum - Audeze Sine Cables: Vovox, DIY, Furutech.

You are welcome to provide the accurate help i need since Fing doesn't see any Gentooplayer on my network... Are you sure the archive i flashed was OK? regards Bernard Link to comment

Yes, but I didn't do anything, I just saw that it wasn't on the network. it can be various things -corrupt downloaded file -copied onto the sd wrong -something on the network (I couldn't get into your router) so I can't tell you more...don't waste your time....

bergui45 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Si probably the downloaded archive is a huge piece of canari crap! Link to comment
bergui45 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Hi Antonello, I will do a last try with a new microSD Card... Why didn't had any network issue either with Volumio or RopieXL? Link to comment

bergui45 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 The file was GentoPlayerRpi4-64-5.10.img.xz Link to comment
bergui45 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I have a concern: When i received the RPi4 brand new i directly installed Volumio on it and it worked well... Then on another SDCard i tried Ropie and also it worked like a charm... But GentoPlayer is 64bits? But the OS installed on the RPi4 is 32 bits? So before trying again GentopLayer may i have first to install a 64 bits Debian OS? Today i received a secund RP4 the model fitted inside a keyboard RPI400... I'm waiting for the delivery of the 7" display so when installing Gentoplayer i may see what relly occurs... Regards Bernard Link to comment

I'm sorry, I can't quite follow you, if you are comfortable with other systems I suggest you use those and don't waste too much of your time. For info Gentooplayer is a 64bit OS as well as the kernel it uses, it doesn't need another OS. Download the file, put it on an SD card via etcher and run the Rpi. It should receive an IP from your router via dhcp. GentooPlayer home Facebook Documentation Link to comment
bergui45 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 OK Thank you! You said "it should receive an IP from my router via DHCP" But the issue was: NO IP receives? Link to comment

bergui45 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 So Antonello my issue was a shitty download! Link to comment
bergui45 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 So i went to the website this morning looking for a new version but could still get the same named as previous... built last friday 16th april... Is that the "good archive"? Link to comment
KenMoreira Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 To save me time, I get my allo usbridge signature player this week. I got it with the diet pi plus Gui combo and shanti lps. I'd diet pi worth keeping or should I goto Gentoo? My setup will be audirvana based via tidal subscription. Never dealt with any pi devices ever before. Any help is good help thanks! Link to comment
odelay Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Has anyone setup a network bridge? Fillipo was kind enough to connect my old Synology NAS after I failed. But having had to replace it with another one, I have been unable to set it up (be that through NFS or CIFS). I hoped I could wire the Ethernet directly to the PC (as it has two Ethernet ports). Setting up a bridge on a Mac (with my uRendu) was pretty straight forward, but I have had no success with GP for my NAS. Beyond the network bridge page, is there anything else I need to do? Sorry if I missed something obvious ... luke TF cards - USB -> GentooPlayer in RAM on Rpi4b, Ian’s PurePi II, FIFO Q7, HDMI-pro -> Audio GD R-27 -> S.A.T. Infinity monoblocks -> Gallo Stradas + TR-3 sub / Erzetich Phobos Link to comment

Sorry if I missed something obvious ... what do you need a network bridge for the nas? you need to go here: select the ip of the nas put user and password if requested, otherwise do not change in selct share folder it should show you the shared folders on the nas put any name in type mount folder If you get an error, post it, but first try putting the version into options like: vers=1.0 GentooPlayer home Facebook Documentation Link to comment
odelay Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Grazie Fillipo - NAS is now connected 🙏 My bad! I had failed to use the admin login. (My user account is supposed to have full access..) Reason for wanting to try the bridge option was partly becauseI was curious to see if cutting out the modem might have an impact on sound quality. There is a big difference in the sound I get from the local SD card compared to the NAS, so have been thinking about how I might improve it... maybe try to a local USB drive with a good power supply... or even an array of SD cards via USB...

You may know this already, but the next best thing you can do is use a network switch to connect the NAS and the PC. This bypasses the main router and provides a pretty direct connection. I actually prefer it to the bridging method. odelay 1 Link to comment

I haven’t used a switch before, but it’s certainly something I’ll consider. Cheers 🙏 TF cards - USB -> GentooPlayer in RAM on Rpi4b, Ian’s PurePi II, FIFO Q7, HDMI-pro -> Audio GD R-27 -> S.A.T.

bergui45 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Hello Antonello, The latest software is OK since i could boot on the RPi400 with an attached 7" display... But holy sh... i cannot set my USB DAC (Yamaha CDS2100 CD Player) This great Sabre DAC was OK to work either with Volumio or RopieXL... Let me know how to have it working also on Gentooplayer...

Are the differences between subtle or are they fairly noticeable? Link to comment
