Heiner, if you read up the thread you will see that I started it – and I spent a week answering questions and tweaking on this and on another thread on this site and got nowhere.

The only thing I changed to have a working solution was from Max2Play to PiCore Player – both based on LMS… and my Server hasn’t been changed at all. So I think it is fair to say that Max2Play has an issue / bug that does not exist in PiCore Player.

The reason is simple – PiCore Player just works – Max2Play doesn’t.

I wasted a week trying then finally switched. I and others asked for help with this same problem – the solution was to move to PiCore Player.

Perhaps you should try and solve the problem as there must be a bug…

If you have the same problem as myself and others, nothing works… do yourself a favour and try another solution – I changed to PiCoreAudio and it just works…. and gives more control options for my DAC… and sounds better!

As I said previously, the -s command makes no difference. I have however found a solution, I changed to PiCore Player which just works and gives more control over the DAC. I suspect there is a bug in your software as I wasn’t the only person having this problem – there are other threads…

No problem, glad you got it working. Have you tried the forum : http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?107352-Announce-piCorePlayer-3-20

no, but just format as fat32 and master boot record and then use etcher or what ever you used previously… or buy another SD card if you want to keep your existing card.

Once you get the card written, just pop it in the pi, start it up and then use Fing or similar to get the Pi’s address, pop that in your web browser. Go to squeezelite page, select your DAC and restart Squeezelite… now go to wifi page put in your network details and switch on Pi wifi if using that and restart… restart Pi and probably good idea to restart your LMS server at this point… and that should be you. At the bottom the PiCorePlayer page there are some additional tabs – there is an advanced one that gives access to many more features and lets you add shairport if you need it. You can also add LMS and if you want to play with the DSP filters you can access those on the Squeezelite page.

Main thing though is my players now work fine over wifi… I suspect there is a bug in Max2Play that was causing our problem. I also suspect that the driver for my Allo Piano 2.1 DAC isn’t working correctly in 2.0 mode and is why I’m now getting the bass that was missing.

Good luck… oh there is a really helpful forum for PiCore there is a link on web interface 🙂

Hi Mohammad,

The Samba share was fine, but I changed it to usb0 rather than usb and rescanned – but both are mapped to the same library. Again no difference – the Pi player max2play Justboom only plays a couple of seconds. However, the local player on the server livingroom.local Pi (Kali/Piano), plays fine, as does a SqueezePlay player on one of my desk macs and a SqueezePad player on my iPad – this is the same controller that is being used with the max2play squeezelite player on the Pi – which fails. The controller is seeing the LMS at 192.168.0.16:9000 which is livingroom.local and is correct.

Can you please confirm what the command line should be – I have tried all options I can think of and none make a difference to playback or cause the players to disappear – I have tried :

-o hw:CARD=sndrpijustboomd -V Digital -Q -s livingroom.local:9000

-o hw:CARD=sndrpijustboomd -V Digital -Q -s livingroom.local [:9000]

-o hw:CARD=sndrpijustboomd -V Digital -Q -s livingroom.local

It is only the max2play players that have a problem playing from a remote LMS 🙁

cheers

Phil

Hi Mohammad,

I have also tried using the LMS on the Pi and get exactly the same results and using -s livingroom.local makes no difference.

If however I try and add the port :9000 or [:9000] I either get a command line error, or if it works, all the players disappear from my controller… so that doesn’t work either…

Here is the debug from the Pi max2play server :

Hi Mohammad,

I tried to post this reply on the other thread but, after making a minor edit, it failed to load, so trying again here :

Hi Mohammad,

I initially had just one server, the MacPro, but as that didn’t work I had to add the local SSD and Server to be able to use the player. I have tried adding the code as requested to the command line :

-o hw:CARD=sndrpijustboomd -V Digital -Q -s [macpro.local][:9000]

But when I do that the player is no longer visible to my controllers (iPeng,Squeezpad) … so I assume I’m doing something wrong?

I then tried command line option as specified here :https://www.max2play.com/en/wiki/command-line-options-for-squeezelite/

-o hw:CARD=sndrpijustboomd -V Digital -Q -s <192.168.0.7>[:<9000>]

but the player refuses to run when using that….

I then tried : – s 192.168.0.7:9000 but it still refuses to run.

Hi Mohammad

Hardware /Software
Player 1 : Pi 3B / Justboom Dac – Max2play (Justboom) 2.4.2 / Squeezelite (wifi)

Player 2 : Pi 3B / Allo Kali + Piano2.1 – Max2Play (Allo) 2.4.2 / Squeezelite (tried both wifi & ethernet) / Squeeze Server 7.9 nightly – music on USB SSD.

Player 3 : MacPro 2 / Squeezeplay ( ethernet ) this plays fine.

Player 4 : iPad / iPeng (wifi) this plays fine.

Remote server 1 : Player 2 above

Remote server 2 : MacPro 1 / LMS 7.7.5 then updated to 7.9.1 – music on internal SSD.

In use :

Players 3 & 4 always work, whether connected to server 1 or 2.

The Pi players only work with directly connected SSD, with either remote server (Pi or MacPro) tracks play for a couple of seconds then stop, try again same behaviour.

Hope you can help 🙂

Hi Mohammad

Thank you for getting back to me.

I finally got it working by removing the DAC and fitting it again. Seems it was a connection issue between the Kali and Piano.

I am however having another issue with both my Pi players ( Justboom and the Kali+Piano 2.1) when running the squeezelite player with a remote squeezebox server. They both work fine when using a local squeezebox server on a connected usb drive, but if using a remote server, only the first few seconds of a track is played then the player goes silent. They will sometimes play a full album, then when you change album, it is back to the same behaviour of only playing a few seconds before going silent.

I have tried everything I can think of, I have turned off everything except squeezelite on the Pi’s, but still the same problem. I can however play fine from the remote squeezebox server by using iPeng on my iPad… so server / signal doesn’t seem to be the problem.

Do you have any thoughts on how to solve this?
