RuneAudio Forum

I have rpi3 with .04 image with a hifiberry dac+ pro. This is what I get, any help would be appreciated.

Code: Select all

[/root/spotify-connect-web.sh --name RuneAudio --device 0 --mixer Digital --username xxx --password xxx --bitrate 320
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 9, in <module>
    from connect import Connect
  File "/usr/src/app/connect.py", line 8, in <module>
    from console_callbacks import audio_arg_parser, mixer, error_callback, connection_callbacks, debug_callbacks, playback_callbacks, playback_setup
  File "/usr/src/app/console_callbacks.py", line 28, in <module>
    mixer = alsa.Mixer(args.mixer)
alsaaudio.ALSAAudioError: Unable to find mixer control Digital,0 [default]

OK I am using an analogue DAC hifiberry with two rca jacks for left right. I tried setting the device to 1 and the mixer to analogue but it wont go. If I use device 0 and mixer PCM it starts. Not sure what I need to do to get it to use the DAC in analogue working

RuneAudio --playback_device 'sysdefault:CARD=IQaudIODAC' --mixer_device_index 1 --mixer Analogue

Thanks, That last bit helped, took me a while to figure that my DAC was device 1 and the sysdefault parameter was absolutely necessary.

Have fun bro!

Setup Spotify Connect on Hifiberry Digi+ & Allo DigiOne:

Many thanks to domars@volumio & triton@vnav about this tip.

Step 1. Edit file connect.py:

Code: Select all

nano /root/spotify-connect-web-chroot/usr/src/app/connect.py

Find and replace:

Code: Select all

mixer_volume = int(mixer.getvolume()[0] * 655.35)

to:

Code: Select all

mixer_volume = 1 #int(mixer.getvolume()[0] * 655.35)

Step 2. Edit file console_callbacks.py:

Code: Select all

nano /root/spotify-connect-web-chroot/usr/src/app/console_callbacks.py

Find and replace:

#1:

Code: Select all

playback_device_group.add_argument('--device', '-D', help='alsa output device (deprecated, use --playback_device)', default='default')

to:

Code: Select all

playback_device_group.add_argument('--device', '-D', help='alsa output device (deprecated, use --playback_device)', default='0')

#2:

Code: Select all

playback_device_group.add_argument('--playback_device', '-o', help='alsa output device (get name from aplay -L)', default='default')

Hifiberry Digi+:

Code: Select all

playback_device_group.add_argument('--playback_device', '-o', help='alsa output device (get name from aplay -L)', default='snd_rpi_hifiberry_digi')

Allo DigiOne:

Code: Select all

playback_device_group.add_argument('--playback_device', '-o', help='alsa output device (get name from aplay -L)', default='sndallodigione')

#3:

Code: Select all

if self._args.playback_device != 'default':

Hifiberry Digi+:

Code: Select all

if self._args.playback_device != 'snd_rpi_hifiberry_digi':

DigiOne:

Code: Select all

if self._args.playback_device != 'sndallodigione':

#4:

Code: Select all

corected_playback_volume = int(min_volume_range + ((volume / 655.35) * (100 - min_volume_range) / 100))

to:

Code: Select all

corected_playback_volume = 1 #int(min_volume_range + ((volume / 655.35) * (100 - min_volume_range) / 100))

Step 3. Create service:

Code: Select all

nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/spotify-connect.service

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=Spotify Connect
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sh /root/spotify-connect-web.sh --name RuneAudio --username abc --password xyz --bitrate 320
Restart=always
RestartSec=10
StartLimitInterval=30
StartLimitBurst=20

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Step 4. Test the service execute:

Code: Select all

systemctl start spotify-connect

Step 5. If everyting OK, enable service (start on boot):

Code: Select all

systemctl enable spotify-connect

Done!

Tried the spotify web connect with varied success.

In the meantime I ran across Spotifyd, its supposed to use the API from Spotify and works/connects like the original.

No special configurations required like spotify web connect etc. just unzip the file, move it to /usr/bin and create a service and update the conf file.

Seems pretty solid with 4 different Dacs XMOS, Amanero, and with Allo digi one sig. Volume etc works but seems to be picky with Amanero.

And best of all the SQ is exceptional, Raspotify, liberspot etc all seemed a tad dull...just enough to where I knew it was not directly from Spotify but through something. Spotifyd sounds clean and airy not dull at all.

Many thanks for your information. Spotifyd works as i expect on my Rune. Spotify volume on app syncs to alsa very well.

SQ is very impressive. Clean and airy.

Hello,
I'm new to RuneAudio and in the last few days I'm unsuccessfully trying to install spotifyd.
I have a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B with a Kuman SC07C Raspberry Pi HIFI DiGi+ Digital Sound Card (that I know it's more ore less equivalent to Hi-Fi Berry Digi+ and it uses the same driver). RuneAudio version is RuneAudio_rpi2_rp3_0.4-beta_
I followed all the instructions on https://github.com/Spotifyd/spotifyd/wi ... spberry-Pi and I uncommented the line dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi on config.txt.
But when I start spotifyd.service and check its status, I get what you read in the picture.

Can someone help me to understand what the problem is?

Thank you

Try running spotifyd like this:

Code: Select all

spotifyd --help

You should get the help message and call instructions. But you may get an error message, if so please post it.

Hello janui, thanks for the answer.

I get the spotifyd command list correctly. No error.
