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. Need to find a decent enclosure for everything now though!

Sounds cool Wilbarton , have you a link to how you set this up ? I tried to get a PiZero with the magazine but failed i have a spare Pi2 knocking around though ...

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 web interface and configure.

As a Pi Zero only has a micro USB OTG and a micro USB power connector you'll need:

A USB network adapter is useful for the initial wifi config, or a normal pi to do the config in and then swap the cards over...

Some great prices on the kit you posted , i might try source a Pi Zero and use them , i might have other plans for th Pi 2
Thanks

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 A2 for the amp, personally I'd go down the above route instead as you at least end up with a proper Squeezeplayer rather than having to use the upnpbridge,

What are the benefits of this over the S3 ?
I quite fancied the A2 Hi Fi adapter for my AMP , they seem very cheap .

No, it's black.

The only white ones I found were in the USA.

One advantage is the power button has a much dimmer light level! The S3 is too bright! I asked Pure if they could add a level option - but they just said there were no plans to change the config.

The T series have an equaliser feature - haven't tried it yet.

I've noticed that a strange error message appears in my Joggler LMS log. At first, I thought it was a Jongo issue, but it appears with all my upnpbridge players.

If I play a live mp3 stream (eg. LBC) then the following error appear in the logL


It doesn't seem to affect playback but even the gurus at slimdevices seem stumped by this.

Can anyone running upnpbridge check to see if the error message appears on your system?

Play a live mp3 station - then

LMS gui - Settings - Information - scroll down to the Logitech Media Server Log File at bottom of page - check the 100 line option

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 Squeezeplayer, I suspect it's just not able to retrieve that piece of metadata because the device has no concept of it in the same way that a real Squeezeplayer would do.

Maybe ... but do you see the same error message using upnpbridge ?

Yep, just grepped my logs and it looks like it happened a lot - here's a sample:

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...

Thanks for the confirmation.

Cheers will do I noticed we have the same phone, have you tried / managed to root it ?
I'm having bother .

Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk

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 pretty reliable at rooting it but I'm a long time Linux user and don't have a Windows machine to try it on...

Don't bother , I tried the Windows tool and no good , I can get it to root with Kingroot but it won't stick .
If you wait until Kingtoot gets to about 20 % then switch your phone off and on again ( you might need to try a few times ) then open KingRoot again it will pick up at 20% then root .
Its flashing TWRP I can't get to stick .

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.
