ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 5.0.0

[Ragg]

Recently I bought an HiFiBerry DAC+ Standard RCA to use with my old RPi2 and KRK Rokit 6 active speakers and make a simple musicmachine.
Looking for the proper software I found piCorePlayer which looks fine since its supports LMS and the whole thing is to replace my old and trusted Squeezebox Touch.
I downloaded the newest version of pCP, installed on the RPi2 and all seems to look fine, only no sound on my RCA's !!
I tried several settings in the UI but nothing seems to work.
Can someone help me with the correct settings? (sorry I am sort of a starter in this field)
Thanks already for your help and best regards,

Open the pCP wed page and select "beta" tag from the bottom (ignore the warning)

Then select the Squeezelite tag on the top of the page.

Select the the correct dac setting from the dropdown and follow any instructions for the audio output

reboot

Be careful with your volume settings


Exactly which version of pCP?

Hi Ronnie,

Briljant !!, this was both a very fast and helpful answer. With the correct output setting, the music was THERE.

I use pCP version 5.0.0. Linux 4.19.40-pcpCore_v7, piCore v10.1pCP, Squeezelite v1.9.2-1158-pCP
For some reason, the correct audio output (HiFiBerry DAC+) is not available in the 'basic' and 'normal' setting.

I'm helping a guy over the phone setting up PiCorePlayer on a Allo Digione.
Running LMS and Squeezelite on the same Digione.

Everything went fine and All systems were go, until we tried to link to his Qobuz Account and mysqueezebox.com.
He actually had Qobuz and Tunein Radio show up under MyApps for awhile and was able to play music.
Then he heard some popping noises in his speakers and the music quit.

Looking at the Web Control page, all he had under "My Apps" was the App Gallery Icon.

Repeated attempts at linking to mysqueezebox.com and Qobuz indicates the changes have been saved, but they never show up
under 'My Apps'

Any ideas?

not familiar with Qobuz, but I would check the server logs.

I'll have him check the logs. It's not just Qobuz, it's any external link from picoreplayer. Something seems to be blocking it.

There is no firewall in pCP, so it would something external. Assuming LMS is running fine.

How big did he expand the partition when prompted during the installation of LMS. Can he play local music?

I believe he just took the default --- Which may be too small -- I think you've probably found the problem.... Will re-do....

OK, he expanded his Card to the 'Whole Card' and that solved the problem! --- The default is 100 Meg --- Maybe it should be the Whole Card as that is what I always end up using when I install PCP
