three instances of MC running on the Pi at the same time?
« Reply #202 on: August 07, 2017, 04:09:28 am »

How would I have managed to get three instances of MC running on the Pi at the same time?
Pi is running headless with JRemote as a controller and generally doing fine. Had an issue yesterday afternoon when, having been playing fine, JRemote couldn't get the next album to play/connect. Tried the wake button and also closed and re-started JRiver. Then noticed that both red and green LED were on solid on the Pi and also couldn't connect with Panel.
A couple of minutes later the green went off and was able to connect with Panel and JRemote was back to working fine.
A bit later I wanted to check something with VNC and there was a window on the Pi screen saying something along the lines of 'database in read-only mode changes will be lost when closed, OK'd that and there was then another the same OK'd that. Then saw there were three lots of MC22 along the bottom, so opened and closed all of those then waited for MC22 to re-start itself - which it did and worked fine.
As far as I know I can't deliberately start MC on the Pi - it's automatic, so how did I open it twice more in addition to the automatic one?

It shouldn't be able to do that if you are using our IdPi firmware. There is a check script that looks to see if mediacenter22 is running and restarts if it isn't but obviously yours was running. Will look into trying to make it fail like that here.

Thanks Bob, IdPi card is exactly as it arrived last week. In terms of set-up, I have created a new library as I wanted to try a different external drive which is the one I had been using with a PC install of MC22.
The new library is located at /home/media/Samsung1 (which is a different path to the default Main library path) and was also created as a clone of the Main library so that I could keep it's settings. I then ran auto import to get the files into the new library. I had also created another library on the external drive purely as I was trying out which way was best. I later deleted this library from the MC window but I see there is still a MC database file on the external drive. Could these extra libraries be confusing things?
I am currently playing from the new, cloned library (the one at media/Samsung1), JRemote connected fine and it is playing fine.

I sent email day ago and still no answer. Anyway it's so difficult find contact for spend money for your product. You should made this much easier.  I'm not too daft but this difficult way for me. Where exactly emails to the sealers on jriver DOTCOM are? Why you covered that? Why I can't do that by one click?

Sorry for the delay.  I saw your mail yesterday and normally it would have been invoiced today.  We'll check tomorrow.

Thank you Jim. This is all what I want to know. But please, change your sale marketing. Find sellers email on jriver D O T C O M (why this camouflage?) is really not easy.
You made fabulous program. I tried and have licence for: ROON, Audirvana, Moode but JRiver is the best for me. And becouse of that I'm really dissapointed in situation like. Other minus is cooperation with QNAP. I have QNAP TS 453A and JRiver don't want working on. After few second from start program crashed.

Is there any chance of buying an downloadable image instead of ordering an mSD Card? Living outside the U.S. the mSD Card would be quite expensive.

Now that the IdPi has launched I'm wondering how the power down process works on it. Can I just cut Id Pi power and it will not corrupt the SD card and work normally on next start up?

This has nothing to do with the JRiver Id, but, as others already wrote with the Raspberry Pi itself, as it doesn't have a battery, managing the power cut. However, there are some ideas around where you add a battery and some software to do exactly what you are asking for. I'm a bit off Raspberries at the moment, but doing some internet researches, you should be able to find at least some solutions that should help you to set up a carPi.

Does the IdPi on mSD support the 7" Pi Touch Screen? I've searched the forums, but could not find any information on this.

Thanks,

The screen would probably work.  Using MC with the touchscreen would work with Theater View. But Panel on a phone or tablet might be better.

I built a kit from HiFiBerry with their DAC+ Pro, added the IdPi mSD card and 2 high capacity USB flash drives, and it's a truly awesome thing to behold (and listen to). It's connected to a Niles Audio SI-250 power amp which has "Music Sense" and level control, so it turns itself on and off, and I adjusted the levels to calibrate it to the JRiver volume control. The amp powers B&W CM-9 speakers.

It's pretty incredible. Very low power draw when not being used, and I can play anything, anytime using Panel on my Mac.

Thanks JRiver!

No difference as far as I can tell.

@0101100: shall I understand that the RPI is acting as the music server? Any issues with upsampling? Or sending music to several zones?

It would be VERY VERY interesting to have an "Id" version of the software for PC.
A headless, linux based instalation of MC available for PC, to be more precise ......

Any comments / opinions ?

The Zero and the original Pi (1) are too low powered. The 2 might work, a 3 is recommended.
If the new 3 B+ does not work yet (waiting on testing), I'm sure Bob will be interested in making that work in an update.

Yeah, and too low powered for what I bought it for. My fault for not doing more research. I've looked at making a DLNA renderer but it looks like a pain.

In what way?  I am able to run LibreElec on it and even watch HD video so it seems like it should be powerful enough for music and Engen.

Something in between.  It's not been a problem yet.

We've sold upgrades at 50%.

I am using the msD card with a v3b pi. It works fine, but stops booting near the end and I have to do a cntrl-d on key board.  To get it to finish booting. I have a usb transmitter for mouse and keyboard, usb cable to DAC, wireless turned on. HDMI to monitor. USB to hard drive.

Anyway can’t really understand what the console is saying is wrong.

Also, by default, where is the library stored? On card or on library? Any reason I can have library on hard drive and use with different MCs, like on my Mac. Using IDpi  at office

Thanks

Try updating first as Jim said if you can get to the main menu.

If that doesn't help, snap a picture where the boot stops and send it to bob (at) jriver (dot) com I can take a look.

The library is on the card.
It might be possible to use a library with a Mac MC and Pi using a HD.
You'd probably need the same mount path for the drive under both OS.
Definitely not possible using a PC and IdPi.
Since it's not the intended use of the IdPi you'd be on your own to some extent.

Yes, I've been regularly doing the update from the menu.

I'm attaching an image.

After doing a Cntrl-D - Boot occurs normally, so its not a killer, but it would be nice if it completed.

It looks like there is an issue with the /export filesystem
From that root prompt, before doing the ctrl-d, do:
Code: [Select]
e2fsck -y -b 8193 /dev/mmcblk0p3and if that doesn't complete successfuly
Code: [Select]
e2fsck -y -b 32768 /dev/mmcblk0p3If still no luck, recreate the /export filesystem
Code: [Select]
mkfs -t ext4 /dev/mmcblk0p3
mount /dev/mmcblk0p3 /export
mkdir /export/media
chmod 777 /export/media
Then you can ctrl-d.
Next boot everything should go ok.

Do you attach the Id to the library on the main version of MC as a remote library or does the Id need to have it's own library?

Thanks! Anxious for my card to get here.

The Id can play audio from another computer, using MC and the music on that computer.  Use one of the remotes MC supports, connect first to the server, then play to the Id.

Function 80 from main menu did not work ("Failed to insert model snd_usb_mytek"). Waited 6 months for Mytek to offer up an Audio USB 2.0 Linux OS driver but to no avail. Their new DACs (e.g. Brooklyn) claim to support Linux OS in their advertising. Mytek Stereo 192 DSD DAC does have a USB 1.1 interface (no driver required, max 24/96). My IdPi MC22 on RPi3b recognizes this as an ALSA DAC and plays music files from my USB stick (in native speed) and from DLNA server on my Windows 10 laptop running MC23 (320 kbps).
Questions: 1) any other suggestions or should I change to a DAC that supports USB 2.0 on Linux OS and if so is there a list of compatible DACs for the Raspberry ID Pi?
2) ID Pi sees my USB stick (main menu 10) and I can manually import audio files into the Main Library but isn't MC supposed to auto-import? Did I miss an option setting somewhere?
3) Wi-fi streaming from DLNA server via ID Pi, Gizmo on tablet/smartphone or smart TV all stream at 320 kbps. Is this the max rate allowed by DLNA or a limitation of my wi-fi network? Is there no way to stream higher rates (e.g. 16/44)?
4) I tried using Panel on android phone (website/Access code/Connect) so I could turn off ID Pi in headless mode but wound up with a version of Gizmo instead. Does ID Pi MC22 support Panel?
IMO the ID Pi RPi3 has a steep learning curve compared to Windows MC. Good for casual listening but without USB 2.0, is not an audiophile-grade component.

Just to address some of your questions.

There is no list of DAC's.

The Id doesn't import anything unless you set up auto import.

DLNA Server settings can stream the original format if that's what you select.

Panel isn't supported in MC22.  Gizmo would work.  The wiki has a topic on Remotes.

I'm having an issue, in idpi mc24.
When I go into adjust the equalizer and close the window, MC shuts down and restarts.
Thanks, Andy
