    Hi Heiner,

    Thanks for letting me know. I just installed the new image, along with the RPiDisplay and JiveLite plugins, and it all appears to be working correctly. Appreciate you taking care of it.

    Hi Heiner,

    I was able to do some experimenting with the Raspbian config.txt file and I can confirm that by changing the resolution manually in the config file, the QVGATOUCH_Skin now fits correctly. The Raspberry display was previously set to 640×480, which was why the skin was too big. I set it to 320×240 to make it fit.

    I’m curious, do you know how I would go about finding or creating a 640×480 skin for Joggler?

    Hi,

    Hope you enjoyed your holiday!

    It’s true that the instructable is for a different display, but the only thing I should need to do differently is select the Adafruit 2.8″ version in the RPi Display installer, correct? My understanding was that all the other steps are the same.

    Hi,

    Yes, I can select any of the skins, and they all adjust the overall image of Jivelite in different ways. Here are what some of them look like:

    QVGATOUCH_SKIN – The top left quarter of the screen is all that is used. The rest is blank. So it’s about a fourth of the size of the display.
    QVGA Landscape Skin – Same as above, just the top left quarter is used.
    Joggler Skin – Image is too big. Part of the right and bottom of the display is cut off.
    HD Skin (640×480) – Similar to Joggler Skin, but even more is cut off on the right and bottom of the display.

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    I never had any success getting the RPi Display plugin to work correctly. I did, however, get the display to work using Adafruit’s guide (https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pdf/adafruit-pitft-28-inch-resistive-touchscreen-display-raspberry-pi.pdf).

    I’m having an issue with Jivelite, but I will start a new thread for that.

    Hi,

    I have been able to recreate it on the Jessie build, too, so it must be related to a change on my NAS. Disregard. I will take that issue to the correct post.

    I will try this new Stretch Beta this week.

    Thanks for the update.

    Hi,

    This beta has worked really well as a Bluetooth player connected to the Squeezebox server on my NAS.

    However, I installed Squeezebox server on the Pi, then added a mountpoint to my NAS’s music folder. Once I reboot, the Pi goes offline and I can no longer access it via the network, even if I pull the plug and reconnect it. This is over LAN. I’ve replicated the issue twice. I thought maybe it was just scanning the library for a long time, but even after a day of running it was inaccessible.

    I am using the built-in RP3 bluetooth. Today I let it run, and sometime around 3 hours in it seemed to stop working, at which point I needed to restart the speaker and the Pi to get it to go again.

    I’ve noticed that the synchronize function doesn’t work so well in the latest update, though. I have a Logitech Boom and the Max2Play Pi both connected to LMS running on a NAS. If I tell the Pi to sync to the Boom, the Boom will play, but the Pi will stop and everything will need to be reset. If I tell the Boom to sync to the Pi, it works fine, though there is a minor audio delay between the two, which I may be able to adjust for in the LMS settings. I also had an issue today where, during synchronized playback, I could stream a podcast fine, but if I played a track from my NAS, or via Spotty, music would play for a short period, before abruptly stopping, then starting over from the beginning.

    Not sure if the sync issue is related to Bluetooth or not. I’m happy to start a thread elsewhere if that’s preferable.

    Hi,

    I’m having much better Bluetooth streaming performance now than I had before. I updated the Pi 3 to latest everything and am running Max2Play 2.45. I also reset all the settings and am running it just as an audio player (no multisqueeze, or server). Those functions may work, but I don’t need them at the moment, so I’m not loading them.

    I played audio to a Bluetooth speaker for two hours straight today, with no issues. It also reconnects automatically to my Bluetooth speaker when I turn it on.

    So far, so good. I’ll post if there are anymore quirks. Thanks for continuing to improve the product.

    Hi Heiner,

    That’s too bad, but I appreciate your honesty! I bought Max2Play for this function specifically, so I’m hoping it will be fixed in the next round.

    Thanks for the response.
