Following yesterdays update my Pi zero W can no longer connect to the network. It tries briefly then I suspect crashes as it disappears from the network. I have no way to connect it to a wired network as I am away from home until the new year. It does not have a keyboard and monitor attached. All was well until yesterday. I can't download the new image as I don't have the bandwidth here and I can't log into it from my WiFi only laptop without the WiFi working. Is there any way to rescue this?

Hello,

I'm currently running the 0.5 beta with Brutefir (see rune-audio-and-brutefir-convolver-for-roomcorrection-t1094-20.html) on my RPI3.
I'm happy with that but I'd like to upgrade to my RPI4 with the +Re6 version.

I succeeded in installing and running brutefir with the same config files as on my current RPI3. I have customized the file /srv/http/bash/mpd-conf.sh in order to set the mpd.conf file as required (my FIR filters are supposed to work at 88.2kHz):

Code: Select all

for (( i=0; i < cardL; i++ )); do
        card=${Acard[i]}
        dop=${Adop[i]}
        hw=${Ahw[i]}
        hwmixer=${Ahwmixer[i]}
        mixermanual=${Amixermanual[i]}
        mixertype=${Amixertype[i]}
        name=${Aname[i]}
        aplayname=${Aaplayname[i]}

########
        mpdconf+='

audio_output {
        type "pipe"
        name "brutefir pipe"
        command "/usr/bin/brutefir -nodefault /home/.brutefir.config" # 2>/dev/null"
        mixer_type "software"
        format "88200:32:2"
        enabled         "yes"
}'
done

I can play files, I do see the brutefir processes.

Code: Select all

RuneAudio:/home  #  ps -ef | grep mpd
upmpdcli   296     1  0 13:21 ?        00:00:10 /usr/bin/upmpdcli -c /etc/upmpdcli.conf

root      8581  7628  0 14:24 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto mpd

But when I stop any song the mpd is not responding anymore: indeed the brutefir processes are still alive and there is one in defunct.

Code: Select all

RuneAudio:/home  #  ps -ef | grep mpd
upmpdcli   296     1  0 13:21 ?        00:00:10 /usr/bin/upmpdcli -c /etc/upmpdcli.conf

root      8647  7628  0 14:24 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto mpd

I have to kill all 5 of them and to restart the mpd service.

Thanks in advance for your help or tips and Merry Christmas to Rern how does an amazing job and to all Runeaudio users!

Charles.

Maybe look here: https://github.com/rern/rAudio-1

Thanks, Rastus but I've read everything there that I can.

Can someone whose bluetooth works confirm that the distro picks up the bluetooth automatically? If that is the case then perhaps bluetooth is only enabled for the Raspis that have onboard bluetooth. I'm using a Pi 1 B+ with a usb dongle so maybe that's a dead end.

Kind regards

Hi GriffinUcos,

I'm using RPi3 with rAudio-1. Bluetooth works fine at both directions.
Re6 won't get any updates - please post your problem to github.

Regards, Andy

I'm using the new rAudio https://github.com/rern/rAudio-1 and Bluetooth working great in both directions. Previously with Re6 I could only send phone>pi. Sometimes it helps to regenerate the list of bluetooth devices with the search icon in Networks setting page and select device from that list.

Edited to add I have RPi3 and RPi4 both with onboard BT. No dongles.

Thanks EoT. No response to the search icon so pretty sure it's the use of a BT dongle that isn't catered for. No worries I'll leave it for now.

Have a great New Year everyone.

Edited because the lower case h was annoying me. )

@rern, any reason why fstab has the mounts set to "noauto"? Changing that to auto fixed my mounting issue where one NAS wasnt mounting automatically.......oddly enough both were set to noauto......now I have it at auto and all is well.

TY and Happy New Year!

Hi @rern,
I have just installed the latest https://github.com/rern/rAudio-1 release. Many thanks, BT sink is now working for me.
However, I am unable to SSH onto my Pi4 using the creds from the docs. Have they changed for this release?

Thanks again.

See the readme -- default password is `ros`

Thanks @cycl157
That will teach me to RTFM in future.
