RuneAudio 0.5-beta for most Raspberry Pi models

Hi alecs123,
You seem to be having very strange problems. These are generally associated with a bad power supply, a bad image download, a bad SD Card flash or a bad SD card. Try eliminating potential problems. So check the SHA-256 checksums of your download and image. If you can use an alternative power supply, try it. You could also try removing dongles and USB devices to reduce power needs.
The -0 version works fine, but is very slow booting and it needs an internet connection. You should upgrade with git pull as soon as you can, this will upgrade it to patch level -9. The upgrade will fix lots of small problems, make booting faster and eliminate the need for an active internet connection. Don't forget to reboot after the git pull, this is very important.

Thanks for the guidance... I was thinking as well the power supply is working bad, it's the original one since I got the RbPi3...will look for an alternative. I did the git-pull and I'm, now on -9 version.
I don't have any USB dongle but I use an external DAC via USB with its own linear power supply.
I can tell right out of the install that -9 is much faster and responsive. My SDcard is fairly new Class 10 16GB so I don't think that's the problem.
will post any other issue if I find one.
Thanks again...

Happy to report that git-pull seemed to resolve all problems I was having. Really don't know how I ended with version -0 before upgrading today

Hello,

I freshly installed RuneAudio 0.5 and upgraded to build 9. Everytime I listen to webradio my RPI 3B starts to throttle (thermometer) after a while. Even though I have applied some heatsinks. It is kinda weird that it starts heating, even with full hd streeming in Libreelec I hand't any problem.

Hardware: RPI 3B + Hifiberry DACplus + heatsinks, hooked up to TV with via HDMI (local browser is on) & via RCA to receiver

Software: Rune 0.5 / 9, no modifications, webradio via WiFi

Ideas? Thanks in advance

You could try switching turbo OFF in /boot/config.txt, or setting the clock rate of the cpu slower (also in /boot/config.txt). The Pi3B has much more CPU power than Rune normally needs. There are advantages and disadvantages in switching turbo OFF and/or running the CPU at a lower clock rate. You can find these subjects on internet and in the forum.
The file /boot/config.txt can be modified via SSH or by plugging your Micro-SD card into a PC. To switch turbo OFF change this line:

force_turbo=1

To this:

force_turbo=0

This is safe, but the cpu will then slow down and speed up as required, which may have an effect on the sound quality. What makes the choice complex is that heat can also introduce noise which can impact the sound quality.
For the CPU clock speed you need to know what you are doing, see this blog post for example settings for a Pi 3B: http://archimago.blogspot.com/2017/01/measurements-raspberry-pi-3-as-usb.html
I would advise you to verify these settings from a second source before you use them. They should be specifically for the Pi 3B, other models need different settings.

Janui, you were right on! tracked the problem to a faulty power supply... changed to another from an old Asus tablet with more power than what original has and ever since, no random reboots and stable performance. Thanks

vennesch

Thanks for your fast reply Janui. Another strange thing going on: before I chose to do a fresh install I had Build 7 installed and my development menu was messed up. Now I have everything how I want it again and the same thing is going on. See attachement.

I have tried to do a Git Pull on both versions in the terminal but both times it results in failure.
In 7 it was something like: no such file or directory (it was something else but can't recall it exactly)
Now it is: Updating 565826d..a4402e8
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
app/libs/runeaudio.php
app/templates/mpd.php
Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge.
Aborting

For now I am on build 9 and everything works great but it would be nice to know that I could simply update instead of performing a fresh installation each time.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Furthermore:
I am using a 32GB fast micro sd (quite new, 3 months old, completely cleaned)
Only thing I have changed after my first Git Pull is installed the UI add on (which is up to date)

I see that you have Rern's addons installed. Could you test again afrer removing them, please post any problems which persist.
janui

vennesch

I tried your suggestion Janui.

Just uninstalled them using "uninstall_addo.sh" via terminal. Rebooted and same thing happening in development section.

I could make a screenshot but it will look the same as previously posted.

I don't get it....

Edit: also tried Rern uninstall via development section, same result
Edit 2: Solved it running "git stash" (no idea what that is ) before running "git pull". Updated to build 10 now and everything is working fine!

P.S. is this the latest build for 0.5b? I saw some packages from 0.6b already in the terminal:
a4402e8..0f8e0e8 0.5b -> origin/0.5b
affe6e9..32f3267 0.5b-dev -> origin/0.5b-dev
bcac2db..669ca78 0.6b -> origin/0.6b

If I may ask. What improvements can we expect?

Keep up the good work!

In the meantime I tried your solution to my heating/throtling problem.
I notice that the overheating only happens in the playback sceen (with the simulated webradio visible).
Could it be a GPU issue (my thougts were: CPU works harder to perform graphical tasks as the GPU is set to 16 in the standard config)?
I tried already to set GPU from 16 to 128 but no result.

Thanks in advance

Edit: it is defininetly not a GPU setting, tried all the other numbers.

Noob here my first RPi box, please have pity on me. I read and searched all day for a solution so before my wife divorces me...

I just installed Rune V0.5 20180903 on a RPi 3B+ rev1.3 with a HIFIberry Digi+ Pro daughter board. I got Runo to work (its awesome) and Connected to Spotify but it only plays in analog. For some strange reason i can't get my S/PDIF DAC to play anything.

My DAC is good and plays with my cd transport. The i2s Kernal is the HiFiBerry Digi Pro and the output is HiFiBerry Digi (i2s), What am i missing?

Thanks for any help.

Hi bondoz,

The Spotify support in RuneAudio stopped working some time ago. In the UI you can see this:

RuneAudio UI wroteDue to the Spotify upgrade of May 2018 the Spotify client no longer works

Hi Janui,,,Thank you for the response.

Sorry my post was unclear.
"Spotify Connect" is not the issue - that works along with playing from the network share and usb BUT only in analog.

The issue is that when i play any music thru the HIFIBerry digi i don't get a Digital output. My DAC fails to see/process a signal. I selected all the correct options in the software. I think there's something wrong in my config but can't seem to find it.

UPDATE: I wiped it and started over. It works like its supposed too now.

I also found this error but couldn't seem to resolve it -

A while ago , I did a gitpull , rebooted and everything was fine . Today I found that devmode seems to be kaput . I get Guru Meditation #0000022.65045032 errot . Any ideas what is going on ? Everything works fine apart from devmode

janui wroteHi R101,
R101 wroteRune v0.4b has been able to play the BBC m3u8 feeds since the MPD upgrade addon became available. Rune v0.5 does not play them, so this does appear to be a regression.
Thanks for the clarification. Can you tell me which version of MPD you are using on v04b.
janui

Hi janui,

Due to the fact that Rune was throwing up various problems, I reinstalled 0.4b from scratch. The MPD update addon installed v0.21.5, which works OK, so there does not appear to be a problem with the new MPD version.

Hi, I just installed the 0.5beta version. Version 0.3beta have worked since 2015 on a pi2 until a bug prevents updating the musical index. I added the addon RuneUI enhancement to version 0.5. Everything is working except the RuneUI interface on android and ios.
I have this error messages:

Hi nic,

I am not sure that this will fix it, but I would try a manual git pull via SSH. These are the commands which I normally use:

cd /srv/http/
git config --global core.editor "nano"
git config user.email "any@body.com"
git config user.name "anybody"
git stash
git add .
git pull --no-edit
cd /home

reboot

Any errors are normally OK, except the git pull.
If you still have problems you can reinstall 0.5b via SSH. All your settings should be retained. Use these commands:

cd /var/www
/srv/http/command/rune_shutdown
git config user.email "any@body.com"
git config user.name "anybody"
git config --global core.editor "nano"
umount http-tmp
