Questions re: Audio Output Setting; Backup; GitPull

rlsten

I have been using RuneAudio (the latest distribution, updated via GitPull) on a Raspberry Pi3 with a USB DAC. I have localbrower enabled. It has been working marvelously and I once again want to thank everyone involved for such great work.

I do have a few questions that I hope you can help me with:

(1) Is it possible under MPD Configuration to make it so certain audio output interfaces (e.g. RaspberryPi Analog Out, RaspberryPi HDMI Out) that I never use are not visible and thus can never be selected?

(2) When I attempt to Backup my settings under Backup/Restore Configuration, the browser page just blinks and goes to the top of the page, but nothing is saved to my hard drive. I am using Windows 10. This function has worked in the past. I have tried both Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

(3) I have recently been unable to do a GitPull update on the browser, although I did it from the console.

Let me know if I should provide any other info to help with these issues.

Thanks very much,
Rod

Hi Rod,

(1) Is it possible under MPD Configuration to make it so certain audio output interfaces (e.g. RaspberryPi Analog Out, RaspberryPi HDMI Out) that I never use are not visible and thus can never be selected?

Yes it is, you only have to disable them in /boot/config.txt

The Overlay and Parameter Reference
===================================

Name:   <The base DTB>
Info:   Configures the base Raspberry Pi hardware
Load:   <loaded automatically>
Params:
        audio                    Set to "on" to enable the onboard ALSA audio
                                 interface (default "off")

Find the line
"dtparam=audio=on"
and set it to off, or comment it out.

(2) When I attempt to Backup my settings under Backup/Restore Configuration, the browser page just blinks and goes to the top of the page, but nothing is saved to my hard drive.

On my RP3 installation with latest git updates this works as expected.

(3) I have recently been unable to do a GitPull update on the browser, although I did it from the console.

The update via UI works, but the notification seems to have an issue.

My config.txt file does not have an audio parameter, and does not have "dtparam=audio=on". When I added the line set to off, there was no change.
What would happen if I commented out the audio interfaces in mpd.conf?

I reflashed my microSD card and the backup function worked through numerous changes in settings until I updated my library to include a 2TB SSD card mounted via USB. After that the backup function didn't work--the browser blinked, but no zipped file was downloaded.
