HiFiBerry team Can you try editing /opt/btspeaker/btuart?
In the last line, replace 921600 by 460800, than save and reboot.
It will be interesting to see if this improves something in your setup.

Christoph Friedrich Hi !
I want to play webradio using hifiberry os. I know that mpd is installed, and I can login via ssh.
In which file do I have to put the links to the radio stations, and how do I start radio playback?
-
HiFiBerry team Right now, there is no configuration interface available for MPD. We plan to add webradio in the future, but this might still take some time.
Until this is ready, you have to do this "by hand". Check out /data, there are some playlists with web radio stations already. You can just use these as a template and add yours.A simple MPD player backend can be found on port 9000.
Best regards,

Christoph Friedrich Thanks, it worked perfectly!
One more question, is there any way to get the current status from outside hifiberry over the network? I mean if it is playing from bluetooth, spotify connect or mpd, or if it is not playing at all? I want to take actions with another raspberry depending on that.
-
HiFiBerry team We have something exactly for this. Control of playback is handle by AudioControl which comes offers an API:
https://github.com/hifiberry/audiocontrol2/blob/master/doc/api.md
Minor issue: The version you're running in the current HiFiBerryOS version doesn't have this API. This will come in the next version. We expect to release the next version about next week (not yet committed as we're still working on some minor bugs)Best regards,
Daniel -
Christoph Friedrich Perfect, thank you!

Pascal van Baardwijk For me Hifiberryos has been working great so far in combination with a DAC+ DSP board. However, on start up of the raspberry pi the ip adress is given via text to speach. For me this is problematic given that I have amplifiers directly connected after the DAC without any additional volume control. Is there any way to turn this feature off? Is it also possible to change the default volume on start up as it apears maxed out in my case?
-
Vitio I've never heard it announce it's IP via text to speech, but the inital volume can be set in the /etc/hifiberry.conf file.
-
HiFiBerry team @Pascal: In the beginning, we thought that's a cool idea, but noticed that people hated it. So it will be gone with the next release that will be ready in the next few days.
The new release automatically stored the volume.
Best regards,
Daniel -
Pascal van Baardwijk Vitioz: the /etc/hifiberry.conf file is only available in the latest build which sadly does not work properly on my Raspberry Pi 3 A+. I tried the latest build last night but it did not connect to my network even though I did add a configuration file to the FAT partition of the sd card.
-
Norbert I had the same problem.
Did you put the wifi data in quotation marks?
wifi_ssid = "home network"
wifi_psk = "mypassphrase" -
Pascal van Baardwijk I did put the wifi data in quotation marks. I am questioning now whether I have made the configuration file correctly at all. I thought there had to be either a hifiberry.conf file in the FAT partition or in /etc/.
-
HiFiBerry team I recommend to wait. New HiFiBerryOS is almost ready, expect it in the next few days. With the new release, the whole configuration can be done in the browser without editing configuration files anymore.
Best regards,
Daniel -
Christoph Friedrich Thanks for adding the new features, I just installed the new release and it works great so far. Also the design of the web interface is very nice!
I read on github that I can get the playback status over dbus, and there are also some examples. But how can I do that over network from another raspberry pi?
-
HiFiBerry team Thank you for the feedback. The whole management of the different players is handled by a tool called "AudioControl". It offers an API for this:
https://github.com/hifiberry/audiocontrol2/blob/master/doc/api.md
Audiocontrol listens on port 81
Let us know if you did some cool integrations into other stuff. I would like to do an integration into a Node Red home automation controller, but couldn't find the time for this.Best regards;

Franz Mayr Thank you for the image all is working perfect.
Please can you update mpd to version 0.21.16 ?
I only miss the feature "Setup WiFi using a temporary AP"
Do you have a time line for requested features ?
Best regards,
Franz
-
HiFiBerry team Hi Franz,
there is no timeline for specific features. Updating MPD is not planned as this would be a major effort. What's wrong with the version that's running now?
The temporary access point is started automatically when no network connection is detected. You just have to wait a bit.Best regards,
Daniel -
Franz Mayr Hi Daniel,
i think it is always the best to use the latest software version.
Please make an option for AP setup, don't make it automatically.
For example,
now i use your image with my raspberry pi with my handy (handy is the AP)
So when i power on the raspberry pi and my handy is off, raspberry pi should not turn into a AP, because when i switch on my handy on later raspberry pi will not connect.
So please make an option for AP in setup
Thanks,
Franz

HiFiBerry team I don't agree on this. If the user wants to configure a system without Ethernet (e.g. a Raspberry Pi A+) an automatic access point is the only way to access the system at all. By simply disabling this, a user would be able to completely look himself out of the system and would not be able to connect again. While you could remove this stuff "under the hood" (by removing the access point service files), but I don't think we're gonna integrate this into the UI.
If you want to reconnect to your mobile phone AP, you can restart the system and it will try to connect again to the networks you have configured.
It is also not the best to always use the latest version. HiFiBerryOS is a set of hundreds of packages that are designed to work together. The versions that are included are tested to work fine. Changing a version of a single package is much more complex than you might think and we won't do this just to be on the latest version. As long as there aren't any security problems or other big problems with a specific version, we will use the versions that are tested by the buildroot developers.Best regards,

Jodok Pedersen Hi all
I have a Digi+ and a Pi3+. I run the Roon image for many months without any issues. I thought I would try HifiBerry OS.
2 things I found:
1. I cannot output sound to both digital outs at the same time, making switching between extarnal DACs impossible.
2. When select next song in Roon, there is sometimes a short noise (like static) when doing this. This is a bit annoying.
I will use the roon image again for now.
Best regards, Jodok
-
HiFiBerry team Hi Jodok,
Thanks four the feedback. Both Digi+ outputs are active in parallel. However, the system always uses 192kHz sample rate. One of your DACs might not support this. What DAC do you have problems with?
About the noise: We haven't seen this before, but we'll see if we can find something that causes this.Best regards,
Daniel -
Jodok Pedersen Hi Daniel
Yes that's it! My Oppo BDP-105 only supports 96khz on the optical input.
When I use the Roon image i can set the sample rate to 96khz in Roon. Would be nice to have this option in HifiBerry OS too. -
HiFiBerry team Hi,
we hope to be able to provide this in the future, but it will have consequences on the services you can use as it would require exclusive access to the sound card. Let's see what we can do.
Best regards,

Hanjo Kim Hi Daniel,
I found that WiFi configuration could not be completed when selecting "Korea, Republic of" in 'Choose Country' step. Once it failed, it would not activate hifiberry_setup network after rebooting. It seems to be the bug of Raspberry Pi itself, but I spent several hours to confirm this. Selecting "US" solved this problem, FYI.
I hope it has the option of 're-initialize wifi setup' as this wifi setup is not possible with rebooting once it failed.
Regards,

Ridney Laudiano Hi Daniel, I connect my TV to toslink input of Digi+ I/O and want audio to pass-through to toslink output but there is no sound output. I'm currently using moodeaudio. Would the HiFiBerry OS support this pass-through feature?
-
HiFiBerry team There is no support for pass-through for the Digi+ and there are no short-term plans for this.
Best regards,
Daniel -
Pascal van Baardwijk Hi Daniel,
The latest version of Hifiberry OS is working great so far. Is there a possibility to change the default startup volume in this version?
Best regards,
Pascal
-
HiFiBerry team Hi Pascal,
the system just stored the current volume and sets this again on startup. There is no seperate "startup volume" setting anymore.
Best regards,
Daniel
