How To Install HQPlayer Embedded On Ubuntu

[jvvita]

Hello @Miska, just saw a new version of embedded. I\does this one require rocm v5?

[pavi]

made the following changes:

 

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list

now contains 

deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/5.0/ ubuntu main

 

/etc/ld.so.conf.d/rocm.conf

now contains

 

/opt/rocm/lib

 

then installed https://www.signalyst.eu/bins/hqplayerd/focal/hqplayerd_4.29.3-117amd_amd64.deb

 

all seems to now work fine.

[jvvita]

Tx!

But you changed your password to hqplayerd, when you ran hqplayerd -s hqplayer hqplayer.

 

You could try two combinations:

Login hqplayer

Password hqplayer

 

Login hqplayer

Password password

If neither works, then stop the service, and re-run hqplayerd -s hqplayer hqplayer.

 

Reboot.

 

Your password will be hqplayer

You are right I was using the wrong password!!!! Poor me, what was missing was the comprehension of what I was doing.

I wasn't understand what "hqplayerd -s hqplayer hqplayer" was doing.

Sorry and thank you very much!

Hi, are there similar instructions for installing HQPlayer Desktop for Ubuntu 20.04?  Thank you!

[jvvita]

You just download and install. No tricks needed. Just be sure to use Ubuntu desktop, and not the server version.

[jvvita]

Hello. @Miska,

 

April, 21st is getting near. Do you plan on upgrading embedded libraries to support the 22.04 Ubuntu server (Jammy Jellysfish)?

Thanks...just very unfamiliar with Linux...are there any step by step instructions you can point me to?  I'm using it with Roon so hoping I can simply leave it running in the background.

The most straightforward means of installing HQP Desktop is

1. Open Firefox (default Internet browser)
2. Go to https://www.signalyst.com/consumer.html
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and find Ubuntu 20.04 download button
4. When you click the button, HQP Desktop should automatically download and start the installation process.
5. If it does not automatically download and install, let us know. I have had different results over the years. Currently, I just save the .deb file and manually install it.

By default, HQP Desktop does not automatically load on boot so you have to start it manually. This is different than Roon Core (server) that automatically loads upon boot. If you want HQP Desktop to auto load, then the following command MIGHT do the trick although I haven't tried it.

 

sudo systemctl enable hqplayerd

I am 99% sure that will not work for Desktop, but there is a way to get it to start automatically and that is to open up "Startup Applications" and add it there.

 

to get the path, open Terminal and enter, without the quotes, "which hqplayer4desktop"

 

open startup applications and enter it there, click save.

My bad, you are correct. Just seems that everything I do these days requires Terminal and commands.

That command works for HQP Embedded, but it runs differently than Desktop.

 

edit: There may be a terminal command to do this, but I don't know it yet.
