RuneAudio 0.5-beta for most Raspberry Pi models

[Beelzebassie]

Much appreciated, Janui!

[Gabriel Syme]

I now have 0.5 installed and running and with Rern's UI enhancements. Thanks to everyone who has made this software possible!

Hi,
Switched from a Pi 2 with rune 0.3 to a Pi 3 with rune 0.5. Nearly everything works great just one thing I noticed: When my USB Dac is set as Output Device, Airplay is not working.
I can connect to rune from the Apple device but as soon as I press play it disconnects rune . It's working without problem when I switch to analog output..

any ideas?

Regards

[janui]

Hi belgarath0815,

I can connect to rune from the Apple device but as soon as I press play it disconnects rune . It's working without problem when I switch to analog output..

Could you log in via SSH and run the following commands:

Code: Select all

systemctl status shairport-sync
redis-cli hgatall mpdconf
redis-cli hgetall airplay
mpc outputs

Please post the output.

Hi belgarath0815,

Thx for the fast reply!
Output as requested:

Thanks for the output. It looks fine, but I need a bit more information. Could you post the output of these commands:

Code: Select all

redis-cli hgetall acards
aplay -l
amixer controls -c 0
amixer controls -c 1

After collecting this information, could you try this command, then reboot and retest:

Code: Select all

redis-cli hset airplay alsa_output_format S32

It may just fix it.

Hi Guys,

I tried installing youtube-dl to use the mpd to play youtube using command line.. not sure if it is even possible?
So I ran the command "sudo pacman -S youtube-dl" and got the following error:

Hi RoyB,

So, my PI 3B works with 0.4Beta janui-20171120 but not as wanted with 0.5Beta janui-20180903-0/5. What puzzles me now is this whether a hardware problem or might there still be a kernel problem?

Thanks for reporting this and also for being so persistent. I really cannot think of anything which could cause this, even though it still sounds like a power issue. The kernel for the 2B and 3B are almost identical, so I would not expect to find an issue there. ...
janui

Hi janui,
You were right, it is a power issue!
I measured the voltage at the micro USB connector at startup and during use and also viewed it with an oscilloscope. The voltage drops occasionally too much. At the output of the linear power supply the voltage is stable. After shortening the feeding cable the Pi3B and Pi2B operate fine with RuneAudio 0.5Beta janui-20180903-5.
So apparantly a somewhat other startup process and a power feeding on its edge (shame on me) caused the problems.

Thanks!

[RoyB]

I have two remarks on the UI of the Volume Control in RuneAudio 0.5Beta-janui-20180903. As far as I know not posted earlier.

1) The indication of the level is shown dimmed (gray) when Safari (iPad/iPhone) is used. With Firefox (desktop) it is clear blue.
2) The down (left) and up (right) buttons under the dial only work after using the zero level button or after manualy altering the level.
