As we tested the C1+ we found that it offers a very good solution to use a touchdisplay and a high-res audio card in combination. There are some changes needed to get everything working and we decided to create a special C1+ Max2Play Image with the target to run as a perfect audioplayer.

The Image will be available in our download section and it has some changes over the former C1 Image:
– Upgraded packages and Kernel to the latest version
– Changed desktop to LXDE to get Jivelite working in Fullscreen mode
– activated and configured display and hifi-shield

Cheers,
Stefan

So are you saying if you get the:

ODROID-C1+
ODROID-SHOW2
HiFi Shield for C1+

They all can work together with the image you are making?

All 3 would add up to $101 + shipping, and SD card.

Is this right? I can’t find were they say they can all plug in to each other and not photos of that yet I guess.

Can even buy a remote from them. That be nice if could get it to work like the remote on the Squeezebox radio.

Hi Raymond,

the Image is set up to work with the HiFi-Shield and the LCD-Shield (touch display 2.8″) on a ODROID C1+. Jivelite is preinstalled and can be started on Boot or via Webinterface. Although it is not the same „touch“ experience as the 7″ Raspberry Pi Display does offer, it is usefull as a small player.

The ODROID-Show is probalby not used to show a desktop environment and it won’t be possible to show any graphic stuff on it.

Audioplayer – Squeezelite is running (verified via web-interface). I can use the web control installed on my PC to verify that the HiFi audio DAC is working on OdroidC1+ (via headphone jack on the HiFi DAC)

Is the next step to simply goto Jivelite and launch it? When I do that I get nothing showing on the screen. Do I need to install Squeezebox server on the OdroidC1+ or have I missed a step?

Thanks

So do you mean it’s this display.

Looks like it’s sold out right now and cost $120. All most just like the $60 Raspberry Pi 7″ Touchscreen. But this one is a 9″

So is that the set up for the Max2Play on the Odroid C1+?

Or could it be this one the „C1 3.2inch TFT+Touchscreen Shield“? That one cost $25. A 3.2 inch one. A little bigger then the 2.8 inch raspberry Pi one.

Or because you said it can’t show graphics. It is this one, Only $8.90?

The Odroid-show2 can show colorful texts so I guess you mean that one a $25 one. Seems like text would be good for Max2Play because that’s all it has on the old slimp3 is text. It works good too.

Something like this:

So if I am right it would be the:

Odroid-Show2
Odroid-C1+
HiFiShielf for C1+

If so I like to order them.

Thank you for making it for this better system.

Hi,

Downloaded your new C1+ image.

1. max2play web pages very slow to change and load —- long waits between.

2. New image runs my home brew I2s PCM5102 DAC very well! — Great!

3. I have still to get my TFT working. This is a 7inch 800×480 HDMI tft, not the Odroid one. I am getting the same errors as several other people in the Odroid forums, i.e. wrong res and purple line. I KNOW you do not support my tft, so I am slowly working through the set ups and will try to get it working.

However if anyone HAS already got a 800×480 hdmi tft woking, please tell me how.

cheers

@Raymond: the C1 3.2inch TFT+Touchscreen Shield is the one that we tested and set up in the C1+ image of Max2Play. We picked this because of the price and the touch functionality. Btw: nice picture of a player!

@superpat: if the web interface is slow loading there is something wrong. Maybe high load on the system? You see details in the Debug of the Settings Page in the Web interface. I’m sorry but I can’t tell you anything about your display as we do not have one here for testing.

@viperman3: make sure not to connect a monitor via HDMI when booting up the C1+. It should automatically show a desktop environment on the 3.2″ display. Starting or setting Jivelite to „Autostart“ in the Web interface will start Jivelite on the desktop.

So I guess this would be it to order to get it all working on Max2play for the Odroid from this photo.

But the 3.2 inch Touchscreen just says C1 not C1+ and can they all plug in together?

But reading more it says „Tested on ODROID-C1“. But can’t find C1+

Am I right?

Just was looking on the web and I found this one that has C1+,HiFi-Shield and the 3.2 inch touch screen.

So I guess the screen has to go on the side of it.

I can now see the screen working, but how do I get the menus on the screen to display in English?

Update – navigated through the menus and figured out the language settings

Today in the mail I got the Odroid C1+ and order it with the C1+ HiFi Shield and IR Remote Control and the 3.2 inch Touchscreen Display Shield.

With the HiFi Shield the Pitch Female Pin Headers can not plug in. I guess I need a extender.

Does any one know were I can buy a pin header extender that will work with it?

I played some music with it and it works. I got it on a HDMI screen and it boots up to the log in and shows that only about a sec. Then the screen stays blank.

Any way to temp get it working on the 1080 HDMI screen?

How do you „Changed desktop to LXDE“? It says it’s all ready installed.

-Raymond Day

Hi Raymond,

I used the pin stacking header (tall) from the Adafruit page to connect it.

LXDE is not the default desktop in the Ubuntu distribution of hardkernel. Normally it boots into lUbuntu which doesn’t let you completely undecorate the windows. When using the HDMI connection instead of the touch display you may need to change settings on the console via SSH to switch the display: open this file and uncomment every line with a „#“.

nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-odroidc-tftlcd.conf

After this the desktop will appear on HDMI in full resolution. You may still control the mouse with the touchdisplay 😉
If you do not use the display at all you should remove the modules spicc and fbtft_device from /etc/modules

Cheers,
Stefan

27. Oktober 2015 at 13:35 #16574

Can you give me a link to the Adafruit page?

I posted here to ask about it.

But looks like you all ready have it. Any of the links in that link to Adafruit page is the pin stacking header you use?

I think I just found the link to it.

Looks like that one will work. I order it. Thank you flysurfer.

One thing on the Odroid-C1+ I got a 64GB SD card and just can’t get it to Expand Filesystem. It gives some error.

That worked to get the desktop on the HDMI display. Just put a # at the start of every link in that file. rebooted.

But it still will not „Expand Filesystem“ It says this:
```

I got it to re-size. Used the Odroid Utility rebooted and it worked.
```
24 packages can be updated.
10 updates are security updates.
```
So updating now now.

Can used the keyboard arrow keys on the java screen. I had to dig though the menu’s to find English.

I know it’s a Beta-151027 I have now.

Jivelite can work but can’t switch to a music lib. It just can’t connect.

Then after a little on at lest my 1080 HDMI it blanks the screen and goes back to the desktop. On it’s web page I can click Stop then Start Jivelite but it don’t bring it up. I reboot will but then I have to start Jivelite on the webpage and it’s is set to auto start. But then I looks like it crashes after about a min.

I can’t get the Squeezelite to start any more. It use to.

I guess I have to select the right Audio output. I did a lot but still no start.

Got this img of it.

So what Audio output do I pick for „C1+ HiFi Shield“?

Just tested every one. I put tape on the bottom of the C1+ HiFi Shield board too because it looks like it touches the heat-sink from the Odroid-C1+.

Picked all the audio even the HDMI and still can’t start the player.

Here is the DEBUG Information if that helps:

Hi Raymond,

if you update packages or do other things on the commandline, this might cause issues as you already noticed.

You should start again with a fresh image (Audioplayer is set to the DAC). I found a bug on the ODROID C1 that it sometimes uses DISPLAY 0 for the LCD-Shield and sometimes DISPLAY 1. This changes on reboot what makes it kind of difficult to reproduce (really strange behavior). This is why Jivelite sometimes is not showing up after starting it… If you manually log in as user odroid you may start Jivelite with
```
export DISPLAY=:1
/opt/jivelite/jivelite/bin/jivelite
```
There might be other Bugs with the C1+ itsself (related to the hardware) and with the Max2Play-Image.

I would recommend, that you use the Squeezebox Server Webinterface to connect to your Music Library as Jivelite is just a
a tool to control the Squeezelite player and show its status.

UPDATE: I added a switch to the latest Beta (click update to latest Beta in settings of Web interface) to get the right display to show Jivelite. As the display randomly switches between 0 and 1, this solves the problem, not showing Jivelite after starting it on the web interface.

Thank you flysurfer. Installed Fresh again and now the sound is working again! Wow I thought my C1+ HiFi Shield went bad.

Used the Odroid tool to resize the 64GB SD card I have in it and updated to Beta-151028 Version.

I use the 1080 by 1920 grid Jivelite and set it to English. Pressing the „Now Playing“ does nothing. I can pick the Library and it wants to connect to DiskStation. I can say change it to mine but it errors. But it does play though the though the web page Logitech Media Server. Just can’t see any thing of it playing on the screen. Maybe it will work on the C1 3.2 inch Touchscreen. Still waiting for the headers to plug it in along with the 3.2 inch touchscreen.

Guess you are still working on all this.

Thank you. I just will not do a apt-get upgrade on it. Guess you will have this fix to when it comes out.

Hi Raymond,

yes – still working on this 😉

Please try to „Reset Jivelite Settings“ on the Jivelite Tab in the Web interface. Somehow our Testing Squeezebox Server (network name is Diskstation) is still present in the Jivelite settings…

Raymond Day premium

28. Oktober 2015 at 14:43 #16596

Flysurfer you were right I reset the „Reset Jivelite Settings“ Stop and start it and now it shows a lot more on the screen and can pick now playing and it shows it.

It all so show my music in the Library.

Seems like all is working real good now.

Thank you.

When I order the Odroid C1+ I order it with the IR Remote Control only $4.95 and I just tested it and it works! When it did I said „Wow!“.

Very good thank you again!

The Odroid-C1+ comes with a IR input on the board. So this is very good to have it work with it in the beta code all ready.

29. Oktober 2015 at 12:05 #16605

flyserver, i installed max2play successfully on my old C1 with disabled HiFi shield. On the jivelite configuration page i have only the 2.8 display as a selection option. After installation of optional skins, the skin for the 3.2 display is not available. Any idea?
