Fresh install on raspy B+ with Iqaudio pidac+.
the good stuff:- hardware volume control works on my iqaudio pidac+
- local cover art to mpdroid works (mpdroid settings here:
http://www.runeaudio.com/forum/cover-display-t122-10.html#p2310 )
- static ip wifi works (tried only wep) on edimax EW-7811Un, just setting it from the ui (after the first ethernet connection).
- it feels that it boots and connects faster to wifi than what was using before (v*****o), 40? seconds from cold and I can already access the UI and internet
- UI feels more polished and faster than v...
- web radio work.
- at every boot it always uses the pidac+(per settings) and it remembers the alsamixer volume from the previous session (GOOD)
- changing outputs on the fly from mpdroid works (you have just to stop and resume the current playing song)
- also I have the auto library update on, no problems.
- sound seems good for the little time I tried it.
the weird ones:1) The interface, in MPD settings, sometime shows "RaspberryPi Analog Out" after reboots even if I'm playing from the pidac+, but I think it's an interface bug.
the settings are saved but the interface shows the defaults and not what's set to?
2) I just had "spinning wheel, connecting..." while applying some mpd settings(volume hardware control to disable), ui became unreachable by wifi and also mpdroid wasn't able to connect. But I was able to ssh via wifi
.
I was able to ssh and ping google, ssh worked... so weird stuff.
I waited 5 minutes, it was still spinning and unreachable, so I powered it off. Weirdly rebooting from ssh didn't work, something was holding it from rebooting but I had no ethernet cable nor monitor to see.
After the forced reset, the settings were the one I saved. So it saved the settings but the UI crashed.
3) 24/192 some stutters as soon I do something else on the pi, top says mpd at 75-80% cpu while playing those (5500+ kbps files)
This on both hardware and disabled volume control.
If I ssh while it's playing 24/192 @5500+kbps, I get a stutter exactly at the moment I login, like it's topping out the cpu or something.
It was just a short listening session, I'll report more after a few days of use.
Issues aside, top work guys, thanks for it, major improvement over previous versions.
