RuneAudio 0.3-beta for Raspberry Pi

challenge

When the UI hangs after applying MPD settings...

ssh and type "systemctl restart rune_SY_wrk"
seems to do wonders, in a few seconds all continues working normally and it saves the new settings, no reboot needed

Also I get a recursive error/segmentation fault that ends with kernel panic when trying to reboot from ssh and have to power it off the hard way.
Are there other logs apart from menu-debug?

[ 78.214183] systemd[1]: mpd.service: main process exited, code=killed, status=11/SEGV
[ 78.229484] systemd[1]: Unit mpd.service entered failed state.

EDIT: the segmentation fault was caused by corruption in the card

Hi all!

Test revision : Now everything is working for me! Sounds good! Works great! Didn't expect that after my first experiences

For everyone who has problems with wlan connection and savings under MPD:

For Edimax users: Try to enable wlan connection with another wifi stick first (logilink mini for example works) With Edimax Encryption was identified as wep in my case and I wasn't able to access 'add new profile'
After adding new profile and saving changes under 'Interface configuration' I would recommend to make a reboot. Afterwards refresh the browser with F5 then you can see the added network- click it and press 'connect'. If you see your IP adress under 'interface properties' everything is fine.
Now you are able to replace the current wifi stick with the edimax- it will work

MPD savings: First choose kernel modules (i2s or not) in settings and save. Afterwards do the savings in MPD. Probably it will hang after that (spinning arrows). Then just reboot through SSH. MPD settings will show as chosen then.

After that action everything works fine for me. Congratulations to all contributers! 0.3 beta runs smooth and sounds cool!

Another question:

I've stored cue sheets in every album 'cause I play wav files exclusively so there's no tagging.
How can I make them visible in the library?
With mpdroid I see the cue sheet and can choose it instead of the album- so I get album covers.
When I change to rune UI then, I see the cover also there. So, if I would be able to view my cue sheets in the library, I would
have easy realized cover view.

Any hints to bring that on?

Thanks!

Yes, that's a temporary workaround that can be used until we fix the most critical issues.
An even simplier way to do that is to access to the DEV page (did you know about its existence?

):
http://runeaudio.local/dev
and use the handy buttons in the last "Background WORKERS control" section.

lol no I didn't know about the dev page! just using runeaudio since yesterday so I didn't give a deep look at its files.
I just saw it's running on arch, so I gave a check to the services and found that.

Quite a nice page, the only problem is that when this hang happens, the dev page is useless as it's unreachable

(it stays in the "spinning wheel/connecting..." loop as all the other UI pages)

so, for this problem, you have to fallback to ssh and manually restart the worker.

The second one is that if I set a static ip address, the system has no network connectivity after reboot. Ifconfig does not show any ip address for the wired ethernet interface, although it is listed on dmesg and lsusb. Sticking to a dynamic ip address causes no problems. 0.3 alpha didn't show this behavior.

Edit: seems to have something to do with wpa_supplicant:
systemd[1]: wa_supplicant@eth0.service: main process exited,  code=exited, status=255/n/a
systemd[1]: Unit wpa_supplicant@eth0.service entered failed state

Same issue here.

I managed to manually set basic settings via keyboard using:

ip addr add 192.168.1.148/24 broadcast 192.168.1.255 dev eth0
ip route add default via 192.168.1.1

Then I could access the web UI, and under the network setting screen it listed it as still set to DHCP. Reselecting DHCP and rebooting did not work either.

Debug pastebin: http://pastebin.com/KBRUiR6P

I'd like to restore it back to the default DHCP setup if possible, so if anyone can point me in the right direction of how to do this it would be greatly appreciated!
(quick edit: it appears setting back to DHCP does work, it just was assigned a different IP address that I didn't look for hard enough)

Oh, that's true

We want to recalibrate the spinning layer behaviour, so we'll take the opportunity to disable it completely in the DEV page.

Yes, I just tested on my setup and seems to solve most of the MPD related issues reported.
Great, thank you!

Hi there!

Following on my previous report:

- Shares had no issues on SMB/CIFS compared to my NFS troubles, so I updated my library with those. Not ideal but it works.

DLNA:
dnla renderer mode is "strange" to say the least:
- song name in the playlist is weird, so I guess not transmitted by my dlna control app (Media House android app)
- if I play something else with the UI ("Add, Replace and play" an album), only the first song is played. after, the other songs in my Media House playlist take over, emptying the RuneUI playlist. I guess this is normal behaviour (my Control app sees the end of one song and starts the next one). I had to exit Media House altogether (not just Stop/Pause playback) to get back to normal behaviour. Again, that's probably not a bug. just annoying.

No opinion yet on audio quality.

Cheers!

amadeus74 wroteFor the pop-up "problem": the browser ask to make a link to the desktop for a fullscreen page of Runeaudio UI.
So it's not a problem, but a "help" of the browser ( in my case Firefox ).

This only happens on Firefox, and it's the result of the introduction of the support for Firefox Open Web App:
https://github.com/RuneAudio/RuneUI/commit/3f74928ad588e410c7f9f4b3400108b845dd979a
I also think that the described behaviour could be annoying, as there is no way to say "No, and don't bother me again"

We'll see if we can tweak it.

Major big-up to everyone on the Runeaudio team. Installed the 0.3 beta yesterday and my unit has been running until today without a fault on Ethernet (not used WiFi so can't comment on any possible bugs in that area). Apart from the settings bug where the Audio Output shows something different (in my case the RaspberryPi HDMI) it's still locked onto my IQaudiO i2s output so surely a very minor issue that doesn't really break usability at all.

Sorry to hear many people having issues but these are all just teething issues, I'm sure the team will sort them when they can. As for the main function of the software, it's playing my music faultlessly! Not a blink! Sound quality is still exceptional, and definitely no issues with clicking/popping/etc.

Just have to also say, I love the UI's colour scheme - couldn't have chosen a better scheme myself. The blacks and blues - really looks the business on tablets and phones. Very subtle and easy on the eye. Although this was the same on previous builds just thought I'd make a comment regarding it because it's just a pleasure to have open on any device. All details are appreciated, even down to the curved corner border box in bluey-grey that encloses the album art. It's all just slick.

I've spotted some tiny things with the UI that I think were also there in the 0.3 alpha:

- Sometimes the circles for the track navigation and volume adjustment disappear, but a refresh or a browser close/open seems to rectify this.
- The volume appears at 100 on my android phone (even though it's really at 75) but once I change it, it kinda grabs control of the volume again and I'd have to set it at 75 again. Minor as not really adjusting volume but an issue nevertheless with the UI.
- The track navigation circle seems to freeze it's progress at the last point the page was open - but the track timer is still going. I.e. at 60min track at 30min progress, half the circle should be blue but only a small percentage of it is (from when I minimised the webpage or moved to another tab in my browser).

These are all minor and Runeaudio is still more than functional in the meantime - if only at 0.3 beta there's a long road to go before a fully stable release but to be honest, in it's current state the fact that it's fully usable and stable being ran 24/7 (time will tell, only 24 hours so far) is brilliant. I'll be making a donation very shortly, not much but it'll be the first of many over the coming times.

I keep getting the spinning "Connecting" overlay. Power-cycling doesn't help. Restarting the rune_SY_wrk service doesn't help. RuneUI update ("git pull" and clearing opcache) doesn't help.

I can access via SSH. Which logs should I check (and post)? (I can't access the debug page without the overlay).

This fixed the wrong display of the selected audio output for me (Pi-DAC+).

Great work.

Hi ACX.

I tried this, and the problem of the connecting rotating arrows disappeared! Now, MPD change settings without troubles.
But, if I set the output to my ODAC, and set the volume to hardware, same problem of yesterday:

the volume is fixed at 100, and if I try to lower the volume, the volume don't change and the indicator return on 100.
Also with MPDROID the problem is the same: the cursor of the volume can be moved, but the volume is always at 100%.
So, in the meantime, I switch to software volume, but I hope to find a solution.

Another little problem: with Firefox on Windows, I can utilize the RuneUI if I write runeaudio.local on the address link.
But with Firefox and Chrome on my Android tablet, the page is not loaded, and appear "the web page is unavailable".

Also with Firefox on Windows, if I go to the RuneUI with the link created on the desktop, the library page of the UI is complete.
But if I go to the library page of the RuneUI with the browser open, appear only the title "BROWSE YOUR LIBRARY" without the buttons network mounts, USB storage ecc.

This is my debug log after the application of the previous tip:

Thanks for all.

Hello to the community and many thanks to the devs for the beta!

Just to add - have a problem with hardware volume control as well. I can change to any level I want but it immediately jumps back to 100.

Using a B+ and HiFiBerry Dac+

Had a problem with spinning arrows like many here but with last update (gitpull) it is solved, many thanks!

Hi all,
I downloaded and installed 0.3 beta (upgrading from 0.3 alfa).

Having read this thread I immediately did the git pull as described in
#502

I was then able to
- activate i2s
- select IQ-Audio Pi Dac
- add a samba network mount for my TonidoPlug2 (1Tb Hd)

I started the music without waiting for the library rebuild to complete....

Therefore I can definitely say "SO FAR SO GOOD!". Thank you guys!!!!

However.... automount for my 2Tb Samsung M3, formatted ExtFS is not working anymore.... it worked seamlessly with 0.3 alpha. I'll give it another try....

My debug info is http://pastebin.com/Ri7fQueZ

Hi njp,
these are all know bugs that I already have on my schedule:

I take the opportunity to invite everyone who has an account on GitHub to contribute to the issue management, reporting bugs and checking the status of the opened issues.

That's the normal behaviour on Android when there is no Avahi/Bonjour client installed (by default there aren't).

This is quite strange, can you check for javascript errors in the console please?
