Got this photo of it.
Still trying to see if can get it to be like a squeezebox touch. Still have not found out with the WiFiBerry on it too.
Got a USB Flash drive on mine. I log in and did this:
mkdir /media/64G_USB_Flash
apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils
mount /dev/sda1 /media/64G_USB_Flash/Added this to /ect/samba/samba.conf can add it by typing:
nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
[64G_USB_Flash]
comment = 64G_USB_Flash
read only = no
path = /media/64G_USB_Flash
guest ok = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
available = yes
create mask = 0664
force directory mode = 2775At the end of it.
I all so under the ####### Authentication ####### I change the security = to share so like this:
security = share
Then don’t need a password to go to it’s folder and save files to it.
All so added my workgroup = rday Use what ever workgroup name on your LAN you have. I just do my 1ST initial and last name.
Can save it by CTRL O and quit out of the edit with CTRL X. It shows it at the bottom the ^ means Press CTRL.
Then restarted samba with:
/etc/init.d/samba restart
Then can easy save it by going to the Max2Play „FILESYSTEM MOUNT“ It will show up there.
Mine looks like this:
UUID=4E4F-2C00 then /media/64G_USB_Flash then exfat then defaults
Said save it and now on reboots it mounts it.
Sort of hard to know that info just to put it in the web page of it.
blkid
will show it’s UUID and Type. So can type it in the web page of Max2play. I guess after you make a folder can then use the webpage to mount it. I don’t think you can do it all from the Max2play web page.
Can’t type all the same as I used. Use your own. Common sense. Like were I mounted mine and the UUID will not be the same.
I got that 7 inch official Raspberry Pi touch display.
Could not get a image to boot up on it to the login. Could not even get a desktop on it.
When I got up today I installed Max2Play fresh. Expand the file system rebooted and put my e-mail in and installed the:
Raspberry Pi Touch Display: Easy Install & Setup of three different Touch Displays (2.4”, 2.8″ and 7″) – including the official Raspberry Pi Touchdisplay
Then I could pick the 7″ and install it. It did not show up before. Then rebooted and the text came up on the 7″ so it worked. This time got to the login too 🙂
Then installed the JiveLite and that takes a little time. Looks like it makes it. Rebooted and started it.
It works on the 7″ touch screen. It ask for language and then the skin and it had 640 x 480 but the last was Juggler Skin. I picked that on the display.
But picked it out with a USB mouse. The touch is not working. Not sure if I plug the ribbon cable in right or if it’s a setting.
But seems like it’s working good just have to fix the touch yet.
Still in the „Install further jivelite Skins (important for small touchscreens)“ I can only pick the „Port for 2.8″ 320×240 Adafruit LCD…“ now. But I don’t need to pick it any more. But something it don’t show up any more there. It did and it was the only one 7″ when I installed from the start.
Seen in the /boot/config.txt this one line for the display I have.
# --- added by adafruit-pitft-helper Wed Sep 9 21:44:12 UTC 2015 --- [pi1] device_tree=bcm2708-rpi-b-plus.dtbPut my other SD card in were I was trying to set up Max2Play with this display and never got it working.
Put that line in the /boot/config.txt file and rebooted. At lest this time the display did not stay wight it turn black but nothing on it.
So I looked up that line and came to adafruit web page.
Just had to type in 4 commands they showed like this:
curl -SLs https://apt.adafruit.com/add-pin | sudo bash apt-get install raspberrypi-bootloader apt-get install adafruit-pitft-helper adafruit-pitft-helper -t 28rRebooted and now it works with this adafruit PiTFT 320×240 2.8″ Resistive touch screen. http://adafru.it/2298 that’s the display I have. I thought it was the same they 2.8 one they had here. But I was wrong.
One other thing can’t start Squeezelite have to „Edit Advanced Options“ It’s on:
„default – bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 ALSA – Default Audio Device, CARD=ALSA“
Change it to:
„Sysdefault – bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 ALSA – Default Audio Device, CARD=ALSA“
Not sure why they look the same. But now Squeezelite will start when you pick the „Sysdefault“
Can get full screen too! Under the „jivelite“ tab click the box to „Autohide Panel (taskbar) and set Jivelite to Fullscreen:“ stop and start Jivelite and now have full screen!
Downloaded the image from here. https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-pitft-28-inch-resistive-touchscreen-display-raspberry-pi/easy-install
There is a big green icon that says „Download PiTFT 2.4″ and 2.8″ Resistive Image for Pi 1 and Pi 2 (September 9, 2015)“
Unzip it and I used Rufus to put it on a SD card.
Then go to get a „install_max2play.sh“ script I clicked Raw and copy and paste it. So log in with putty with user pi and password raspberry and type „nano“ and enter and paste it in there. It takes a little time but the hole text will show up. I chmod it 777 so „chmod 777 install_max2play.sh“ then backup a folder with „..“ and typed /root/install_max2play.sh
Go to http://max2play and it will have a update. I expanded the file system 1ST.
Reboot and update Max2play from 1.0 to 2.21 as of today.
Reboot it.
Put in your e-mail and location. Then go the the plug in and install Jivelite. That takes a little time. Set it to Autostart and save. Got to start it too the 1st time.
Then it can see it on the little screen. It lets you pick a size but all are in HD. I have not found a 320×240 yet for it. I guess there is some way to set that.
Don’t download the „Raspberry Pi Touch Display: Easy Install & Setup of Touch Displays 2,8″ and 3.2″ I did and it will make the screen just be wight with no image again.
Then in the Jivelite tab click „Install Choosen Skin“ there is only one the „Port for 2.8″ 320×240 Adafruit LCD (QVGATouchSkin by bogdandumitru)“
Then on the screen can see it. The top of the desktop is still there. But it works. I guess that’s the best can do with this PiTFT Touch screen.
Tested sync for both players to play my Squeezebox Radio and the max2play-XU4. As soon as I clicked „Synchronize“ it stop playing but the play list is on both now playing. They just both stopped.
Got a Intel Compute Stick as a server running the Logitech Media Server. The 32GB one installed Ubuntu on it. Any way it did not „Synchronization“ when I click to do that.
Don’t have the “Multisqueeze” on it. I will see if I can install it and test again.
Just looked it says this:
„Multisqueeze – run multiple Squeezelite Player simultanous on one device (Raspberry / Odroid). Needs an audiodevice for each player.“ I don’t need it to run 2 on one system. So did not install it.
I see to run it both on the HDMI sound and the USB sound. I have no did that. But I guess that would be the way. Thank you.
My try it later some time. I put my Odroid-XU4 out of the way now and take some time and work to move it to play it in the HDMI again.
If you have eMMC and a SD card and try to re-size the file system it will not work. You have to unplug one of them.
I thought the switch on the side would say what one I wanted to use. But have to unplug one and then can re-size the file system then.
I got the Odroid-XU4 and it works real good on mine. No problems. I am very impressed with this max2play.
Wow I got it working!
In the tab „AUDIPLAYER“ under the „Status: Squeezelite is running with processID ####“ Can press „Edit Advanced Options“ and I picked from the long list „hw – Generic USB Audio Device, USB Audio – Direct hardware device without any conversions, CARD=Device,DEV=0“
I guess no way to have it go out both the HDMI and this?
But this is the nice way I can turn off the screen and still have it hear it now.
