Re: Jongo Speakers .

Aah thanks for the heads up - I'll have another tinker at some point then. I'd seen mentions of root not sticking but assumed if you could get it to temporarily root long enough to get TWRP on then all would be good.

Re: Jongo Speakers .

Ha - I've tried a few times but similarly had bother, it's starting to feel a bit sluggish for me now though so I do need to put some time aside to make it happen so I can put a custom ROM on it. Kingroot doesn't work for me though. I think I saw a thread on Modaco that suggested a Windows app was p...

Re: Jongo Speakers .

As if by magic Pimorini have got Pi Zero's in again - £6.50 including delivery for the board itself. Was tempted to buy their PHAT DAC for a bit of further tinkering but will save that for another day...

Re: Jongo Speakers .

Yep, just grepped my logs and it looks like it happened a lot - here's a sample: server.log.2.gz:[16-05-16 21:27:00.2469] Slim::Control::Request::execute (1888) Error: While trying to run function coderef [Slim::Control::Queries::songinfoQuery]: [Can't call method "playingSong" on an undef...

Re: Jongo Speakers .

That looks to me like the TuneIn plugin tries to query the player via a HTTP call to grab the current playing track metadata - it will be embedded in the MP3 stream as an ID3 tag so the player is probably responsible for decoding that. Given upnpbridge is emulating the fact that the speaker is a Squ...

Re: Jongo Speakers .

Yep - bit of a waste of hardware using the Pi2 for it. I'm after another Zero myself so I can do the same with the second Jongo I have. I've got the first player configured to be part of a sync group and set to auto resume it's playlist when it starts so it's now all nice and seamless. Regarding the...

Re: Jongo Speakers .

Not a great deal to document to be honest, especially if you've got a full fat Pi to play with as it's got audio and network built in... Download the image from https://sites.google.com/site/picoreplayer/home - write it to an SD card, boot, check your router to see what IP it's got, connect to the w...

Re: Jongo Speakers .

Ended up falling out with all attempts to get sync to work wirelessly. In the end I've got a Pi Zero + USB soundcard plugged into the USB socket on the back of the Jongo booting piCoreplayer. Boots up and starts playing in about 30 seconds and seems to have a pretty decent run time from battery. Nee...

Re: Jongo Speakers .

In terms of size, sound and battery I agree - great piece of kit. I think if I could manage to get resume on power on working I'd be happy. Proper sync would be a bonus too but I think I'll only get that if I build a squeezelite Bluetooth transmitter rather than use upnpbridge. Sent from my Vodafone...

Re: Jongo Speakers .

Be interested to hear your thoughts on them a couple of days in. So far my view is they're better if they're plugged in to the mains, seem to work better if you control their on / off state through LMS rather than with the power button for me too.

Re: Jongo Speakers .

Once youve got your settings sorted you need to start the bridge again to use them

Re: Jongo Speakers .

Yep of course, I'm getting ahead of myself. They appeared for me fine but after I'd configured them with your settings they disappeared due to the permissions issue.

Re: Jongo Speakers .

Have you set the plugin to use /BUFFER as the buffering directory? I did this earlier without reading the instructions in full - the log showed it was trying to write to a folder it didn't have access to, and as a result it didn't add the Jongos to the available player list. Just change the location...

Re: Pure Jongo upnpbridge settings

Yeah done that unfortunately, currently on stop at poweroff / restart the playlist at power on which seems like the most useful. The power off / power on events don't seem to fire properly from what I can see.

Re: Pure Jongo upnpbridge settings

My Jongos were delivered today. No problem in getting them up and running in LMS with upnpbridge as per Castalla's settings but I'm finding the usage of them a bit inconsistent, especially turning them on and off. I'd like to be able to turn a speaker back on from cold (as it's on battery) and it co...

Re: Jongo Speakers .

OK, but only synced with each other - not my other devices?

Re: Jongo Speakers .

Couldn't resist the BOGOF, guess I'll soon see... As long as I can pair them together I can create am upstairs zone I guess. I'll soon be into double figures on Squeeze devices!

Re: Jongo Speakers .

Would I be correct in thinking that these can't be synced with other squeezeplayers, only between themselves via UPNP?
