RuneAudio 0.5-beta for most Raspberry Pi models

[Toube]

Hi Toube,

adding .m3u8 playlist support

We rely om MPD do all playlist support. The playlist type .m3m8 is not listed as a supported type. But you could try adding 'm3m' and 'm3m extended' playlist types, it may work. The best way to do this is to add the following lines to /etc/mpd.conf:

Code: Select all

#############################
##   your-extra-mpd.conf   ##
## Playlist Plugin Example ##
#############################
#
# This is an example for adding a Playlist Plugin to MPD
# You could use this file for setting many other MPD options
# This file needs to be placed in the directory /home to activate it
# Set the correct file protections with the command: chmod 644 /home/your-extra-mpd.conf
#
playlist_plugin {
    name "m3u"
    enabled "true"
}

playlist_plugin {
    name "extm3u"
    enabled "true"
}
#
############################
## end your-exta-mpd.conf ##
############################

I know you use a manually edited mpd.conf file which is not managed by the UI.
For users who use the UI for MPD configuration management, create a separate file /home/your-extra-mpd.conf with the above contents. It will then be automatically included.

Hi Janui,

thanks for the suggestion and clearing that up.
Didn't work but it's not a problem
Can I get the Youtube addon added in the 0.5 version using the enhanced UI?

One other thing that I also noticed that isn't working at least for me is that I cant use .cue files to play or add albums to the playlist.
in version 0.4 it worked.

So to sum it up and things I haven't got working with version 0.5

1. YouTube addon missing from Addons menu (version 0.4 is ok)
2. .m3u8 streaming not possible (not supported yet)
3. .cue or .m3u files using network share, not able to add to the playlist (version 0.4 is ok)
4. Bluetooth, could not get it working using my phone, it connects and almost disconnects immediately

Everything else seems stable and plays well, good job.

Latest debug info:

EDIT:
I tried this trick and added it to the mpd.conf:

Code: Select all

#########################
## your-extra-mpd.conf ##
## Add playlist plugin ##
## type '.cue'         ##
#########################
#
playlist_plugin {
    name "cue"
    enabled "true"
}
#############################

Rebooted / rebuilt the library and when adding .cue file to playlist it shows the text / info in the lower right corner saying that it was successfully added but playlist stays empty.

Hi Toube,

So to sum it up and things I haven't got working with version 0.5...

Thanks for trying v0.5b and for the feedback.

- For youtube you need to look at the posts in Rern's addons, I read recently that it is not yet finished. I am sure Rern will add it when it works correctly.
- I will take a look at the .cue and .m3u issues.
- Bluetooth is very experimental at the moment, I have only been able to get it to work on the Pi1 image. I have a feeling that something is missing from the Pi2 image. Any suggestions are welcome.

A couple of other things I noticed using the enhanced UI:
- When browsing music library and selecting Add and Play, the album is added to the playlist but it will not start to play.
- For the webradio the counter is not working in the now playing window, the counter is shown in the playlist though.

Thanks.

You need to post this in the addons thread: runeui-enhancement-t4207.html#p18426

Hi janui,

actually the .cue and .m3u issues are related to the UI enhancement because they play nicely when using the normal UI. I will post this under the right topic.

Thank you Janui and Gearhead for keeping this project up to date for all of us!
I really appreciate it!

@ all
Does anyone manage to install a remote control successfully?

@ Janui
Is Lirc preinstall as in Frank's 04b ?

Hi s.k.,

@ Janui, Is Lirc preinstall as in Frank's 04b ?

For the Pi1 image it is not installed. For the Pi2 image it is preinstalled.
We have not tested it, any feedback is welcome.
