    OK, I have this fantastic max2play working on a pi3 with a rpi 7 display and Allo boss dac.
    All working well. I have an issue with the Visualisations, they appear, but do not move or modulate to the audio. Any thoughts, I have also done a clean install..

    I welcome any help

    Hi mrfunk,

    Have you enabled the Visualizer and VU-Meter in Jivelite by adding „-v“ to the command line options of Squeezelite (Audioplayer tab of Max2Play-Webinterface -> Advanced Settings) ?

    Best Regards,

    Hi mrfunk,

    You may need to rest Jivelite settings, please have a look on the below thread:

    Hi mrfunk,

    Sorry about the late reply.

    The end of your parameter line might be the issue. Please try this command line instead (verbatim):

    -o hw:CARD=BossDAC -V Digital -v

    Hello Heiner.
    My config is on RPi3B and 3.5LCD.
    Can you help to figure out why visualization stops showing if I use LAN instead of WLAN (no matter dhcp or static)?

    Once I connect RJ45 to RPi, after rebooting visualization stops showing.

    etc/network/interfaces stays unchangeable in both situations:

    ####################################################
    # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback

    #auto eth0 # managed by ifplugd
    iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.0.50
    gateway 192.168.0.1
    dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1
    dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8
    #hwaddress ether 1a:64:b6:bf:36:37

    allow-hotplug wlan0
    auto wlan0
    iface wlan0 inet static
    address 192.168.0.51
    gateway 192.168.0.1
    dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1
    dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    pre-up wpa_supplicant -B w -D wext -i wlan0 -c /opt/max2play/wpa_supplicant.conf
    post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant
    ##########################################

    I showed the simplest situation without any additional changes. But my goal is to use static LAN only without wlan at all. But once I unchecking „Load WiFi interface“ – it goes to losting both „visualizations“. Internet radio works, but visualizations gone.

    Hi bisesik,

    Did you manually edit any config files or make any other extraordinary changes to Max2Play?

    Have you tried removing autostart from Jivelite, removing autostart from WiFi interface, deleting your SSID and PW, saving and rebooting with ethernet connected?

    /etc/network/interfaces changed manually, after no sucess through web-interface.

    Have done as you said, no sucess – no visualizations, radio works

    Honestly, I have never seen that Visualization works while connecting through eth0 (wlan disabled). I do not know how exactly but apparently these things has some hidden interrelation?..

    The problem was in waveshare 3.5 LCD. After installation of drivers from waveshare.com, eth0 interface dissapears. I got error: „Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked. See sulogin(8) man page for more details. Press Enter to continue“ because there was no eth0 in system after driver installation. BTW – it is very often error related with this waveshare LCD.

I got error on OS initiate: „Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked. See sulogin(8) man page for more details.

    „raspi-config / network name alias NO“ – fix it.

    …

    May be raspi-config / „desktop autologin“ is really a necessary step when installing this driver, which I have neglected? I skipping this very first step every time. Apparently in vain. Need to check…
