It's really close. A week or two I'd think..

An upgrade to MC22 is now available:

Hi Jim,

I just received Id Pi card and upgraded it to MC22.

All works great, but I can't get it to see my external USB drive which is xFAT formatted. Other Linux based players see it.

On another note, is there any chance to support native DSD playback?

Thanks!
Alex

ExFat support will be in a coming OTA update soon.

DSD playback is supported via DoP.

Thanks, can't wait! Any future possibility for native (not DoP) DSD support, similar to this:

DoP is just a flag on the data in a PCM transport from what I understand (it's still DSD data).
From what I understand, the kernel and libalsa need to be pretty recent to offer a DSD format type in ALSA.

Hendrik · « **Reply #107 on:** March 03, 2017, 10:30:07 am »

DoP is not any worse then native DSD, and its much much easier to handle. For some reason many people seem to believe DoP is in some way "worse" and native DSD is "better", but it conveys the same information - the same underlying DSD signal.

Alex Peychev · « **Reply #108 on:** March 04, 2017, 09:34:39 am »

Sure, I understand what DoP is and agree that is no worse than "native DSD" because it is the same exact thing.

However, I am really looking forward for the Id Pi to support native DSD which will make possible playing up to DSD512. With DoP we are now limited to 352kHz (PCM encapsulation) where no more than DSD128 (at 5.6MHz) can be transmitted.

So any help on getting the Id Pi to play native DSD on my XMOS-based USB DAC will be highly appreciated!
There are currently quite a few DSD downloads offered at DSD256.

Does the Pi Id run a samba share for external USB drives?

I would like to make the Pi Id a headless Engen and JRiver server, but in order for this to work I need some way of managing media files from another computer.

Thanks!

[Edit] I think I found the answer, looks it might be a yes based on the full Id feature set: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,109210.msg757252.html#msg757252]

It does. You can get to it via Windows networking.

badger · « **Reply #111 on:** March 28, 2017, 01:19:14 pm »

I just have to say GREAT JOB on this one! Really plug and play... My new music server.... Now my Id Pi is the only computer I have to leave on when I leave the house.

Alobar · « **Reply #112 on:** March 28, 2017, 02:16:08 pm »

Yes I second that, great job on the Rpi! I believe the SQ is superior over using my DAC through Windows noisy USB which was the whole point of the Rpi for me.

There is one issue that I would like to understand batter. I use my Id Pi for playing music that is pushed or streamed (or whatever you call it) from my windows MC v22. Before I upgraded the Id to MC v22 whatever was in "playing now" that was destined for the Id Pi would automatically be saved on my windows MC even after a reboot of Win10 (where all my music is stored). Since the v22 Id upgrade whatever was in Win 10 playing now gets dumped and I need to select more music or playlists to add to playing now. Is there a setting that will save whatever was in playing now for the next time I sit down to play music? I often have many hours of music selected and like the ability to pick up where I left off.

badger · « **Reply #113 on:** March 28, 2017, 03:53:02 pm »

Tools + Options + General + Advanced... there's a checkbox for "clear playing now on exit". Could that have become checked with the upgrade?

Both the Windows MC and Id Pi version were unchecked. Still unresolved..

badger · « **Reply #115 on:** April 12, 2017, 06:35:23 pm »

thought I'd try my IdPi as a server for my photos. Looks like it won't import either images or video. I'm assuming this is by design as the Pi isn't beefy enough to serve types of files. I'm importing from a network share and just want to make sure it's not something wrong with access to the share. thanks.

JimH · « **Reply #116 on:** April 12, 2017, 06:37:00 pm »

You may need to update the Id so it's using MC22. That should work with video. I'm not sure that images work yet.

badger · « **Reply #117 on:** April 12, 2017, 08:25:36 pm »

It is 22.0.76

JimH · « **Reply #118 on:** April 12, 2017, 08:30:58 pm »

I believe that should play video.

My Id Pi is running flawlessly. Thanks for your work in this arena.

I'm considering building a second unit. Do I need to purchase another SD card and/or license, or can I make a disk image for the second unit?

JimH · « **Reply #123 on:** April 21, 2017, 05:09:08 pm »

A second Id Pi should require a second license. Thanks for asking.

We have one here and it works fine with the updated kernel that was pushed in our last update.

MikeyFresh · « **Reply #126 on:** May 29, 2017, 11:22:16 pm »

I would like to use an IdPi in the following way:

On a Raspberry Pi 3b board.

As a DLNA server, with USB HDD as storage connected to the Pi 3b.

Running primarily headless, however not precluded from using an HDMI monitor.

Streaming to other DLNA/UPnP endpoints, all of which currently work just fine with JRMC20 on a Mac as DLNA server.

Will the IdPi work as described above? I wish to shut down the current Mac based server more frequently than I currently do, and have the more power efficient IdPi running more or less 24/7 as the replacement.

Thanks very much in advance, I believe in reading various threads I can do exactly as I describe above, but would appreciate any feedback including pros and cons for just using the ARM Linux distro of MC instead of IdPi.

JimH · « **Reply #127 on:** May 30, 2017, 06:33:51 am »

That is exactly how I use the IdPi.

The clients would probably need to be updated.

No current plan. Shipping it on a mSD card ensures a trouble free install.

My experience with the Id Pi in the past week says you've succeeded, no problem at all with this install, now running as a server accessible to other UPnP endpoints with PCM up to 352.8 kHz and DSD at 2.8MHz both flawless.

Thanks very much for this solution, I can shut down my Mac now and still have a JRiver server available 24/7 running on RPi3!

Today I moved it off my main router and connected on a another floor of the house via a WiFi media bridge. No trouble there at all, the Id Pi connects to the bridge via Ethernet, and the bridge speaks to the router over WiFi. No dropouts, all endpoint renderers performing flawlessly in this configuration.

IdPi mSD card received and working into HDMI. Thanks for speedy service. Would like it to work with my external DAC - Mytek Stereo 192 DSD DAC. Mytek support is looking for suitable Linux driver. Assuming they find one, is it as simple as downloading the driver and launching the .exe file as with Windows or do I need to modify the original mSD card or enter lines of Linux code? Is there a list/thread on IdPi compatible DACs? I couldn't find one using "search".

The Mytek Stereo 192 DSD DAC is a little weird under Linux however there is a hidden function 80 from the main menu that will try to load the firmware for the DAC (it must be connected). If that's successful it should show up in the list of ALSA devices in MC. I've never tried this on the IdPi.

ray77 · « **Reply #141 on:** June 14, 2017, 07:18:20 pm »

Came back with "failed to insert module snd_usb_mytek". Will wait for Mytek support. Thanks for suggestion. Last resort may be to install a Hiberry or equiv but probably a step down in terms of high res playback.

I got my IdPi SD card, Raspberry Pi 3, and HiFiBerry Dac+ in the mail last week, and have just gotten everything set up.

My goal was to set up a small system for my back porch, using an idpi connected to a Bose powered speaker. Everything is working well. The idpi software was super easy to set up.

The only problem I am having is that when the music stops, I get a fairly significant hum/buzz through the speaker. The HiFiBerry DAC has a 3.5mm output that connects to the Bose speaker. Once the music starts, the humming/buzzing stops, and it sounds great. It's kind of annoying me though.

I anyone has any ideas on how to get rid of the buzzing sound, I'd appreciate it.

Great job on the idpi. It's fantastic!

JimH · « **Reply #143 on:** June 15, 2017, 01:42:43 pm »

If the Bose has volume control, try setting MC's volume to maximum. Or the other way around.

If you have another DAC, you could try it, just to learn something about where the sound is coming from.

larichardson73 · « **Reply #144 on:** June 15, 2017, 02:06:26 pm »

I don't have another DAC. I know that when I connect my Android phone to the same speaker, using the same cable, it doesn't make any noise. And, if the pi is connected, there is no music playing, and I touch the pi, the noise gets louder.

JimH · « **Reply #145 on:** June 15, 2017, 02:40:10 pm »

If you're connecting an Android phone, isn't the cable different? Type C? Micro USB?

The charging cord is type c. But the headphone jack is just plain old headphone jack.

It sounds like the power supply is not quite up to the task. You may need to look for another.
IIRC you'll need a good 2 amp supply at least.

larichardson73 · « **Reply #148 on:** June 15, 2017, 05:44:18 pm »

Thanks Bob. I was thinking that might be the problem. Although the one I am using is, I believe, 2.5amps. Anyway, I think I'm gonna pick a new one up and see if that makes a difference.

I have one setup with a hifiberry using the optical jack. Mine doesn't have a jack at P4 (I assume that's the analog out connection)?
