Hi rern,
nice job on some features, by the way I already introduced some of them in the new version of the system we're working on (version 2.0). Would you be interested in helping us on its development? are you familiar with collaboration on GitHub?

ACX

Btw, the second lyrics provider you are using doesn't seem to have very reliable API responses... Testing a silly query with "Queens Of The Stoneage" as artist and "Stairway to heaven" as title, you get this

Hi ACX,
Yes, I'd be interested.
I just have started doing some basic clone, commit, push, pull recently. Never joined a GitHub collaboration but I'll try not to ruin anything.

Thanks for sharing this. The enhancements look excellent. However I've tried installing them but get an error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_localhost() in /srv/http/app/templates/header.php on line 17

Is there another file that needs including?

rern

function is_localhost() is the 1st one, in /srv/http/app/libs/runeaudio.php, that already defined. I've seen some error of this kind myself.

clear OPcache > clear browser cache > refresh should fix it.

ianhaynes

No, refreshing the output cache doesn't fix it. I still get the error about the missing function.

Any other thoughts?

PS: I've just checked runeaudio.php and there is no function is_localhost there ??

Hi ianhaynes,

you have either a RP1 or your image is not up to date.
The function is_localhost() was added Nov 5, 2015 when we introduced the local browser feature.

I'm running on RP2 and the 0.4-beta image and settings show kernel 3.18.7-3

I think your version is different.

Is the link to the .zip broken?
I can't find the download

rern

Sorry. The link was fixed.
Please drop some feedback.

donimo

Will do. Really appreciate your work.

Thanks for this, which has just the changes I was looking for. Perhaps a little more space around the buttons?

As someone more interested in audio than in Linux, I found copying the files in the zip folder to the right place rather complicated. I am sure there is an easier way to do it than using PCManFM to copy each file across, though.

That said, it seems to be working and I am looking forward to the volume control enhancements. Just up/down outputs to suit a motorised potentiometer would be ideal for me, but I am not sure whether that is what you have in mind.

R101

Sorry rern, I just re-read your post about GPIO function and realise that it refers to power switching, not volume control.

Having had problems installing the enhancements on my Rune system (noted above) I started again with a clean 0.4 Rune installation from the newest download. Having set that up and trying to install the enhancements I get an error:

./install.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Looking at install.sh, as I get no 'Install ....' message, I'm guessing it's referring to either the uninstall.sh or RuneUI_enhancements.tar being unavailable.

I'm a Linux newcomer so your help appreciated.

ianhaynes

I went through the install.sh file commands manually and have successfully installed the enhancements. The line that gave the error was

rm /root/install.sh - No such file or directory.

Now enjoying the enhancements. Thank you!

Sure, there is. Now it's just 1 single copy-paste into SSH terminal.

The error was fixed.
(/bin/bash^M: bad interpreter was caused by crlf line ending getting into the script by some of either my copy-paste things or lf/crlf issue on Git.)

Looking forward to any comments on using it. Both positive and negative are welcome.
