We will check and get back to you and we contacted picoreplater also.

[Audio_Allo]

Picoreplayer confirmed that, this will work only for piCoreplayer player standared 32 bit version .

 

For piCoreplayer 64 bit player ,need to built. Once done we will update you.

OK, I have the 64 bit player.

 

I will wait for the update.

[tx2toda]

I'm also waiting for the 64-bit version.

[tx2toda]

I am playing a 16-bit/44.1KHz sound source. Isn't "S32" strange? 
Isn't "S16" the correct number?

As per picoreplayer team ,it will take some time to built.

[tx2toda]

If you can make a 64-bit version, I'll wait slowly.

[Wirrunna]

Audio_Allo and tx2toda,

I flashed a card with the 32 bit version of pCP 7, ran the installation commands in putty and now have the OLED working the same as tx2toda, displaying S32 44100  for a 16bit 44100 MP3.

 

So, it is working. I will check for the 64bit version regularly.

[tx2toda]

Hi,Wirrunna and Audio_Allo

 

I was worried because "S16" was displayed in "DietPi_RPi-ARMv7-Buster_AlloGUI".

It is player (OS) related settings, player what rate is sending, same will display.

 

In backend we can check what rate files playing using below command

 

cat /proc/asound/card1/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params

 

In picore player, while playing 16 bit ,below is displaying in backend

 

tc@pCPBOSS2:~$ cat /proc/asound/card1/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params
access: MMAP_INTERLEAVED
format: S32_LE
subformat: STD
channels: 2
rate: 44100 (44100/1)
period_size: 1764
buffer_size: 7056

The oled will now work on piCorePlayer 7 64bit - see https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?113512-ANNOUNCE-piCorePlayer-7-0-0&p=1019324&viewfull=1#post1019324

[tx2toda]

Hi,

Thank you for the information.
I immediately tried it with piCorePlayer 64bit version, but the OLED was displayed without any problem.

@Audio Allo,

Your assistance is requested to have my new Allo Boss 2 and Rpi4 with Picoreplayer 7 work with each other.

I have tried to follow the earlier conversations and directions but unfortunately I do not the skills to make anything happen.

I can install Picoreplayer on the Pi and I can view it in a browser and set whatever switches I think need to be set. After that there is no sound and no activity with the OLED. My music library is on LMS and it works with my other versions of PCP.

My understanding is that a new release of Picoreplayer 7.x will include the Allo commands? Thank you.

[tx2toda]

Hi,kthan

I tried to summarize what I've done so far. 
Is it useful?

Hi tx2toda,

Thank you for the prompt response and detailed instructions.

I really have no clue what I have to do and where to get the required files. I really have to sit down and figure out what each command means and go from there.

I'll have to look for local help once I figure out what I need.

Thanks.

Hi,ktham

I don't understand English well, but I can manage to speak with translation software.

The work is not so difficult. Most can be copy and past.
