It is a MiniDSP which I would like to be able to access as it is built in to a media center thing box.
I tried "virtual here" but it gives me connection errors.
I have some USB hardware that I do not want to actually use on my RPi but need to access via my PC. Now there is wireless USB and I wonder if there is a way to connect my computer to that USB device which is connected to the RPi via Ethernet/Wifi.
Hello, I am using a HP Laserjet P1006 with cups on my rpi and the foo2xqx drivers. Printing works but it does so very slowly.. It takes around 10 minutes for docments with some text. Now when printing I see a process "gs" with very high cpu load (around 100%) for quite a long time. what is the issue...
Hi i,m a beginner so could you give me more direction please. I am too, but I try hard ;) Having a quick look I found mplayer which is a command line video player: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/MPlayer.html#commandline Note the "loop" command: mplayer /path/to/your/file.suffix -loop Now you ...
Hello, I wrote a little Python script which I thought someone might want to use as well. I have a media center running based on the raspberry pi and had two major "problems": -Having to stand up to power the amplifier -Leaving the amplifier on even though no music played That is why I wanted the Pi ...
Thank you! inotify helped a lot. Now I am facing one last problem. My python script checks, whether something is playing or not. if the audio output is accessed, the "open" function is executed. if access stops "file_closed_action()" is executed. now when changing titles in mpd there is a quick succ...
Hello, I would like to do the following in Python: I want to check, whether sudo lsof /dev/snd/* returns something like COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME mpd 2585 mpd 13u CHR 116,16 0t0 1534 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p (so something is played on the audio device) or nothing (when output is si...
I found a way which seems perfect! sudo lsof /dev/snd/* shows open files (sound device = file) and the process which opened it. Now when I use mpd and shairport it looks like this: COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME mpd 2489 mpd 13u CHR 116,16 0t0 1555 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p hairtunes 380...
Hello, I have a little media center running with shairport and mpd and now want my rpi to automatically toggle a gpio pin whenever there is audio output on the external usb sound card which is a hifimediy dac. How can I check whether there is something outputting a signal on my sound card? I have qu...
Hello, I set up my raspberry pi for use with mpd and shairport. Now I want it to switch the Mains suppy on my amplifier. It shall detect whether mpd or shairport are running/playing and Switch accordingly. Are there interfaces that allow me to check the status of both applications? I am quite experi...
Hello! I have a raspberry pi working with shairport for use with itunes for transmitting audio over wifi. Now the analog output is of low quality and I think about connecting a DAC to it to feed my MiniDSP. The MiniDSP supports an I2s input signal. My question now is whether I can directly generate ...
So (grasping a straw :) ) did you assign user Pi to the lpadmin group? (just in case that's the/an issue?) Yes I did that: id pi uid=1000(pi) gid=1000(pi) Gruppen=1000(pi),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),27(sudo),29(audio),44(video),46(plugdev),60(games),100(users),105(netdev),999(input),107(lpadmin),...
I tried the hplip driver and removed(?) the other one I used before (foo2zjs..). The old drivers are still used as the default drivers, though it tells me that they are not installed when actually trying to print with the old drivers.. I then just chose the HPLIP drivers manually (which is version 3...
Hello, I am trying to build up a small printing server. My Rpi is connected to an HP P1006 via USB. Up to now I did the following: I followed a CUPS installation tutorial which went fine. I then needed HP drivers which I got from http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com. I proceeded with the download of the specifi...
