Thanks rern !

+1 on this !

R101 wrote:@rern,

Sorry rern, I think I have found another one. I unplugged and reconnected the USB DAC for the first time since the update, and am now back to having no sound card detected and no sound card entry in mpd.conf.

I, too, am facing the same problem, twice before last week because I was switching USB DACs. So I learned to stop playback before messing about with the USB DACs. And today, a third time as the USB DAC lost power (as I was physically moving the power supply to the DAC.) On all occasions, I re-flashed. Is there better way, like a quick fix on the command line interface?

Also, the latest update has put a "padlock" icon besides "System" on the drop down menu. Previously, it has the settings icon. And no, I did not opt for password to access system menu (if there is such a thing.)

The 20201201 update seems to have fixed this, as well as the playlist bug.

Thanks rern.

Update 20201201
• Rune logo in ssh isn’t displayed correctly


• Doesn’t shows the fourth kernel load in Status

This “Voltage under 4.7V” does not appeared in my “prototype” SD image, but it appears on any clone made from it.
I haven’t notice any audible malfunction because of it.

• Disk capacity is missing (was on top in Addons page)
• A disk expansion addon would be nice

Most of not all issues are now fixed.

My lcd still won't work with this. After much search I managed to get some characters on the display but nothing meaningful...
As mentioned earlier I have only gpio mode with different pinout.

One issue is https://gist.github.com/dbrgn/77d984a822bfc9fddc844f67016d0f7e but even with that I have no succes.

My pinout is definitely different, rs =8, en =7, r/w =None, d4-d8 =25,24,23,27.
Lcdchar claims only 26 pins support.

With GPIO.BCM I could assign pins directly and as said get a few characters but alas no useful display.

My (heavily modded) dockerized pydPiper script works fine though.(switching back and forth to debug)

Updates is checked on each Addons page run and daily at midnight. Just ignore the update badge. You can wait and see any bug reports and fixes for a few days before going forward.
I'd like to freeze it as well but in a few days there's always been something to improve or fix. And that's what R+R e6 today.

@rern,

After unplugging the USB DAC and reconnecting it, I have to remount my USB memory stick and do a rescan.

So first of all thank you rern, now the HiFiBerry DAC+ PRO works like a charm and you've really made my day - I just had to obtain a new card, the original seems to be broken somehow : "[ 8.647856] i2c-bcm2835 fe804000.i2c: i2c transfer timed out".
Next steps for long Christmas nights:
1) send rern couple of bucks for a coffee or beer
2) connect a Waveshare 4,3" DSI LCD display, IPS, 800×480, I2C, MIPI DSI - generally it was already working, just the graphics was a bit distorted; anyway I had to disconnected it during the HiFiBerry card troubleshooting. I suppose that this should not be anything hard (just note that it's killing Raspberry's onboard WiFi so wired LAN is necessary)
3) the final steep - to build some decent box so the old Sony SMP-N100 can be replaced finally
Thanks a lot for your work again. I'm really enjoying it!

PS: I can advice (e.g. PM) how to downgrade the kernel but it didn't help at all...

Thanks a lot to the developers for doing such a great work.

May I post my latest issue here? On a 3b+ I cannot get audio via Bluetooth on a speaker running. Pairing with the speaker succeeded, but no sound.
I might have wrong settings in MPD and / or System settings.

Can someone help me on configuring bluetooth output?

Thanks and cheers.

@s.k.,

Logo:

A little too much for trying to be an image. It will be replaced with a text banner in next release.

CPU Load: Average number of processes which are being executed and in waiting calculated over 1, 5 and 15 minutes.

Under voltage: It got values and set status according to vcgencmd

Code: Select all

/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd get_throttled


Disk capacity: It's still in Sources section.

A disk expansion addon: Already expanded automatically on 1st boot.

PS. For the timezone sake, I had a good chance before lockdown to walk up the great Acropolis. It's mesmerizing.
