Dirble not working on Pi B

[Flatulator]

Dirble not working for Raspberry Pi B, but does for Pi2.

It just keeps spinning, similar to the description in other posts. I've updated to the dev branch, again, as recommended in other posts.

I really like Dirble on the Pi2, I just wish I could have it on the older Pi...

Any suggestions?

Hi Flatulator,

it should also work with the Pi B.

Did you follow description?

I have - twice! How can I see if I have the right build?

Thanks Frank!

I finally got the "B" working - but it's a little quirky. If I double-click Dirble, it will go through to list the genres - but it's pretty slow (5 seconds to display the list). It still hangs about 50% of the time - clicking out of the LIbrary and back, and double clicking the Dirble link usually brings me back to the genre list, albiet very slowly. I was able to add about 15 Webradio stations this way in about an hour.

It also intermittently cuts out when playing Webradio and NAS selections. I am using the Pi analog output jack for now. I'm wondering if the Pi B is woefully underpowered for this task? I'll be doing additional test this evening on HDMI output to see if that makes a difference.

BTW, the experience on the Pi 2 is fantastic - zero delay and it just works! It's probably in my best interests just to get a new Pi - a Pi 3 - when I can and just ditch the older B model!

It's on wi-fi. I do have an ethernet plug available, I'll be testing that as well to see if it makes a difference.

No cutting out with Ethernet... Sound wasn't bad with just the standard Pi analog plug. Couldn't get HDMI sound to work even after selecting it though.

Doesn't really matter, I'm convinced enough. I ordered a Pi3 and IQAudio DAC yesterday and will retire the Pi B.

Thanks for your help!
