Do you have HDMI DACs to recommend (complete product or DIY component or kit) that would fit with this new feature ? Thank you for the great work Keep it on Bests I think that this feature is useful for those who use a AV-receiver or a high-end HiFi-system which allow you to connect the raspberry d...
Hi all. Please try the new version: piCorePlayer version 1.0. It is now possible to stream high resolution audio (up to 192 kHz) through the HDMI connection (previously it would downsample to 48 kHz) - thanks to giantpopples for the suggestion. The Kernel is updated to version 3.8.13+ the special fi...
Hi giantpopples Thanks for testing. I was actually trying to update the kernel when you wrote your message. Therefore, I decided to follow the advice at the pages you linked to, so hopefully you will be able to use higher sample rate through HDMI. Please report back, because I don't have the equipme...

Hi I'm trying to cross compile the fiq_split kernel (3.8.13) on my Debian computer. It starts to compile fine, but just before it is finished I get this error and no kernel is produced: CC lib/rwsem-spinlock.o CC lib/sha1.o CC lib/show_mem.o CC lib/string.o CC lib/timerqueue.o CC lib/vsprintf.o CC [...
Your previous change solved many of the problems that we had with external USB dacs.
Currently, some still experience pops and clicks occasionally with some of the USB dacs, do you think that the latest change could help with these issues?
Hi adrian. I can't see how changing settings for squeezelite should affect any settings on the LMS permanently. If you use a different MAC address (the -m option) the LMS should see the player as a new player, and hopefully not use any stored setting? How are you able to see what rate your USB dac i...
Have you tried the new version 09. For me it seems to have solved the problem with some kind of static noise if played for a long time. I have been playing a web based radio station for 24 hours and it is still playing fine without any problem.
Sadly, no major changes for my clicking issue, with v09. As you recommended in the readme, I removed output buffer settings in the setup. The clicks were slightly less frequent that before, but still present. I now find that the points in a music track where they occur is consistent with each repla...
Hi adrian. First thank you for your paypal donation. Next I have updated the piCorePlayer to version 09. The most important in this release is that the kernel has been updated to the version made by gsh from this forum in order to improve or fix the USB problems we have. I think that some of the sou...
This is a Squeezelite player which is running entirely in RAM, so you can simply pull the power cord, and no harm is done to the Linux or the SD card as there is no writing to the SD-card.
Hello, I have updated the DAC page on your web page CMEDIA CL-SU4CHA ok upto 48KHz but take care LEFT and Right are inverted Terratec Aureon Dual USB ok upto 48KHz but take care LEFT and Right are inverted Teradak TDA1543 NOS DAC -V3.1D (TENOR TE7022L) ok upto 96KHz (some noise, small pops) Audioph...
Hi Jean Thank you very much for your info on the DAC's you have tried. This is very valuable information. Regarding the new kernel with a potential USB fix, that you linked to: I'm working on this and have managed to build the new kernel 3.8.12+ (the version gsh made with the new USB code). I have a...
The USB Wifi I mentioned can scan but cant connect is Linksys WUSB54G which is very old So if I understand, you can see from the wifi setup page in the picoreplayer script that it scans and you can see your wifi-network - but you can't connect? Are you prompted for your username and password, when ...
Hi. Regarding the WPA2. My finding with piCorePlayer V07 is that if the signal strength is good, then I can get WPA2 to work. I think that the problem still is the poor USB handling of the raspberry. But I think your problem is different, because I had no problem connecting to the router, however, t...
Hi I have made a new web-page for picorePlayer, there will be updated How-to etc. https://sites.google.com/site/picoreplayer/home I would be very happy if all piCorePlayer users could find the time and post which USB-DAC and WiFi dongles are working - and which are not. :-( This info can be submitte...
Hi Christian. I think that your analysis is correct. I have also seen these problems. For me it is like this: The music stops at some point, and then you have to change to another web-stream or another artist on your local server. Sometimes you have to try a couple of different changes, and then sud...
Yes I think that version 08 might be useful for your problem. It uses a newer Squeezelite, which should fix some of the communication problems between the LMS-server and the Squeezelite.
Dipole - Please try version 08, which uses a newer and unreleased version of Triodes Squeezelite. Therefore if it works, then don't update the Squeezelite player before this version is released. http://rapidshare.com/files/4203435048/piCorePlayer_V08.img http://rapidshare.com/files/3555913079/Change...
Hi All piCorePlayer users. I have just updated to piCoPlayer version 07. Now the wifi and USB is much better for me - so I hope it will good for you too. Version 07: 1. Kernel upgraded to 3.6.11 which has fixed many USB problems. 2. Tuned the USB sound by adding "options snd-usb-audio nrpacks=1" to ...
Hi I'm afraid that the DragonFly USB-DAC will not work. See this : http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=29226 There are still problems with the USB driver in the Raspberry. As soon as it is solved in the Raspberry, I hope to be able to update the piCorePlayer so that the USB-DAC's ...
