ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 7.0.0

[edward.zeidan]

PiCoreplayer on Rpi,/ using Khadas USB audio output.

Hello < I need help. my settings for Picore-player are all normal. I have LMS and Squeezelite
RUNNING. An Image of my PcP Squeezelite settings page is attached. I am using a Khadas
USB DAC. is there something special I need to insert into the Output Setting field?
There is no sound coming out of the RCA plugs of the Khadas sound card. at all. htere is someting
here that says, Set ALSA control to unmute and set to full volume under Unmute ALSA control
But I am unclear of what text to insert there into the field.
I got it to work before, but cannot say why it it does not produce sound now.
regards
Ed.

I solved this problem. of Picoreplayer + Khadas toneboard

Hi, thanks in advance, I found another bloke trying to solve a similar problem,
and copied the text below into the output settings, and lo and behold,
it worked. OMG> I'm so pleased. Glad this forum exists,
many thanks again,
Ed.

The output settings is wrong. It points to HDMI (b1).

Look under the more> help of valid output settings.

Well it seems that somewhere along the line the path for e2fsck moved, so the script is not working. Your best bet is to pull the card out and check it in another linux machine. But back to the actual error messages, those are not likely caused by a file system problem. Those are at the mmc drive controller level.

OK it looks like I'll have to get a Linux VM going.

RE: the mmc drive controller errors, is that a driver issue, or a physical card problem?

Likely the card or a bad power supply. But if your not seeing undervolt errors in dmesg, the power should be fine.

Hi apologies if this was already answered, I gave up search after 20 minutes cos although there is lots about Bluetooth I can't find my case..

I have upgraded my ancient tv to android tv so retired libreelec (with squeezelite) on my RPi 3b+ which now runs pCP for only audio duties.. Main pCP role works great (expect player name reverting to picoreplayer for some reason) but as new tv hasn't got analog audio output and my old hifi hasn't got optical/digital audio inputs, I was hoping to use pCP as Bluetooth sink...until I'm in position to upgrade hifi..

It seems to work initially but is not really reliable.. If I disconnect tv is not able to reconnect automatically.. Only restart of deamon seems to help.. Also a/v us out of sync so I guess pCP is not reporting latency to tv which should take care of sync.. (option for that is enabled on tv)

BTW I have used old slow 2gb sd card as AFAIK pCP runs from memory but then when setting up a Bluetooth there was another partition created? Hmm could slow sd card have negative impact on Bluetooth..

Also.. RPi is connected using WiFi (5ghz)but I think 3b+ had resolved the problem of WiFi /Bluetooth interface..

Is my Bluetooth sink plan achievable at all?
Thanks

There is no way to overcome the latency.

Hello together,

just a short question: Bluetooth Audio

I'm running PiCore Player 7.0.0 www v00015 on a Raspberry Pi 4
I am not able to run Bluetooth Audio with the player.
Bluetooth connection with my JBL Speaker is running and paired.
But when I want to change the Audio Output Device Settings, there is no "bluetooth". Only Analog, HDMI, USB and all the others.

What I have to do?

Thanks a lot.
Christian

Bluetooth works differently than earlier versions. Look in LMS for a new player with the name of your Bluetooth device. No reason to do anything on the squeezelite page

Longtime LMS user, first time pCP user. I'm having some trouble getting up and running with LMS on a Pi 3B.
The web interface quite logically tells me the partition isn't big enough for installation, do I want to resize? Of course I do, but that's as far as it goes Resize logs uploaded to Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/4Ge0LaGY
I first tried a 64GB card, then changed the power supply for something a bit beefier, then put in an 8GB card, all to no avail. The logs are from the 8GB card, with the more powerful PSU.

@bakker_be, you didn't mention the steps you take up to when you resize, but if you installed LMS, found the partition to be inadequate, then tried to resize, this could be your problem. I suggest you start from the beginning, then resize before install of LMS.

I had a pCP 6.1 that I wanted to upgrade to pcP 7, but found that my file system size was smaller than what I wanted, so I resized, and ... bricked the sd card. I had a backup image and tried again. I could not resize with LMS in place. I never pursued it further, just did a fresh install of 7.

The pCP pastebin function always uploads privately. Only the pCP developers have access. The pastes are also automatically deleted after 24 hours.

It's all about privacy!
