RuneAudio 0.3-alpha for Raspberry Pi

[nofx]

My experience

Got an Wolfson Audio Card so I set up RTLinux kernel 3.12.13-rt (Wolfson Audio Card) as kernel and snd_rpi_wsp as Audio output interface.
I'm successfully connected to wlan (WPA).

I played ogg vorbis files from an USB Stick but I couldn't hear anything (wolfson line out). As soon as I tried to stop the song the Pi kind of hangs. I can get to Library, Playlist and Queue but can't access any menu settings or USB Stick (circling arrows) and cannot continue the song.

dmesg says:

Code: Select all

Any else information you need from shell?

Hi nofx,
please report your debug info as shown in the first post of this thread.

please report your debug info as shown in the first post of this thread.

That's debbuging before the 'partial crash'. Afterwards I can't access debugging anymore.

Error message's too long so I attached a txt file.

Hi Runers!

Great work! Great sound! Very promising!

BUT:
1)
Wifi is hard to install. To get 'add new mount'- is a randomplay. Suddenly I was able to specify my router, but several times it didn't work.
Edimax Dongle was very hard to install and afterwards it frequently has lost connection. I think it has something to do with it's power management.
It had to be disabled in Volumio to work stable. Probably you didn't think of this.

A logilink mini dongle worked immediately.

2)
Some radiostations I regularely listen to do not start at every klick.

When changing from one track to another- in my case from radio to USB files or vice versa rune crashed.
it happens again and again. Display then shows 'connecting'- animation. From this point it is impossible to get into rune again- reboot required.

3)
When running rune there are frequent connection losses- only for some seconds. That occurs I think 3 to 4 times in a minute.
If it contributes to good sound- I can live with it

That is what I discovered in the relatively short test phase.

One thing: What really is massively disturbing is the blue information field that prevents me from viewing and klicking an additional button.
It takes much too long till it disappears. I don't need this info at all, it's completely unnecessary to me.
If there is no way to kill this function is it then possible to place it on a more neutral place? That would help.

Thanks for this tremendous efforts! It will be perfect soon! Again: Sound is great!

Is there rune audio planned for Cubietruck and Odroid U3? That are interesting platforms as I think.

Greetingz, Robert

To avoid such problems (and also the explosion of the forum database!) I updated the instructions in my first post, suggesting the use of http://pastebin.com for debug reporting.

Now try to navigate into your music library, using your ssh session (ex. cd into some folders of your library and try to list the content). Report here if you are able to list the content.

What is the state of /sources page?
Are you able to see your mount point listed?
Did you see a red cross near the name of your mount point?

Let me know.
Bye.

I can list the content of the albums and see the music, so no problem there.

Everything checks out in the 'sources' page, there is a green right sign in front of the mount point.

[dryce]

I am having this issue as well. The Nas is properly mounted and with a green check under sources. When I go into the Library area there is no mount point listed under Nas. When I click on it I just get the option to add a new mount point. I am at work at the moment, but will post logs later if it helps.

@buliway / @dryce / @emma (I suppose)

It seems your mount operation goes fine, but MPD did not updates the database.
Try to force the database update using this button (you can find it in /sources section).

Hi nic,
if you are under Windows the easiest way to write the image to the SD casd is using USB Image Tool, you don't need to uncompress the img.gz file with that. I have to update the docs with this very handy tool.
About 7zip: it opens img.gz files without problems. Inside the downloaded file you'll find the "RuneAudio_rpi_0.3-alpha_20140710_2GB.img" file, in case you want to use other tools to do the job.
