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

You need to refine the Jongo settings.

Give me 15 mins. or so, & we can continue.

Meanwhile to prepare for the settings, you need to stop the bridge. Uncheck and Apply.

Keep the settings page open.

OK , cheers

In settings page - bridge NOT running

below the full line across the page

there's a dropdown - default settings

click and select the Jongo - page will refresh and show the empty Jongo settings

-----------------------------------------------------------

Enter the following - some text, others by dropdown

Name - whatever you like

HTTP mode - fixed large size

Streaming timeout - 600

Directory - ?

Supported codecs - aac,pcm,mp3 [notice no spaces]

Max sample rate - 48000

Uncompressed format - wav,aiff [ no spaces ]

Player is enabled - yes

Send LMS metadate - yes

Send ICY metadata - no

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you have the settings you need to hit Apply

Now check start bridge - Apply

----------------------------------------------------------------

That's it - the bridge will run unless you switch it off

Whenever the Jongo is ON, it will appear (after a few seconds) as a player. You can select it in LMS and play whatever you have on LMS

-----------------------------------------------

No need to mess with settings from now on (unless there's a specific reason to do so)

Great , ive done that ,added the settings started the bridge then hit apply again.
When i look under players only SqueezePlay shows up , maybe i messed up .

[castalla]

Just check under settings that the bridge is running.

If so, then switch off the Jongo - wait a minute or so, switch on. Wait a couple of minutes - it should appear in the lms player dropdown listing. You may need to refresh the lms gui page.

Thats it , i am in , Castalla i owe you one .. very happy to have this working , thanks Wilbarton as well .

Castalla , are you able to cast your vote still in the UK ? I think the EXpat vote could swing it

[Wilbatron]

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.

Excellent! Do you want to play flac ? There's some extra to do, if yes.

------------------------------------

Got a vote - last one as my right to vote runs out next year.

Not so sure about expat votes here in Spain - many here moan about 'immigrants' without realising they themselves are immigrants! Most don't have any idea that they live here as a right as an EU citizen (not as a Brit). If we leave they (and I) will have the same rights as an Albanian, or a Turk, or a Egyptian, etc.

My quick reply. V.good to just less than excellent given their size. I like the battery function (haven't noticed a difference between mains/battery)

Overall the sound quality is just less than Sonos Play1 - which can be much improved because it has a basic equaliser feature.

[Wilbatron]

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.

Try max2play - that has a module to enable bluetooth speakers . A helluva a lot easier than doing it yourself, which I did a couple of years ago (and almost went mad in the process!)

Okay!

Enable FLAC playback
--------------------------

This worked for me - YMMV

---------------------------------

1. Go to upnpbridge settings (Settings - Advanced)

Switch off bridge - Apply

Select Jongo config in dropdown
-------------------------------------------

Edit as follows:

Change supported codecs to - aac,flc,pcm,mp3

Max sample rate - 96000

FLAC header - normal
--------------------------------------

Hit Apply

Leave settings page open

--------------------------------------

Go to WinSCP - login to joggler as root

Go to

/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs

edit upnpbridge.xml

--------------------------------

Find the section in upnpbridge.xml which has something like

<device>
<stream_length>1000000000</stream_length>
<codecs>aac,flc,pcm,mp3</codecs>
<name>Jongo A</name>

The important point is that you locate the device with your Jongo name

Insert a new line after the <name>Jongo A</name> line

which is

<allow_flac>1</allow_flac>

Save the file

---------------------------------------------------------

Exit winSCP

Go back to the bridge settings page

Hit Apply

Check to start upnpbridge

Hit apply

---------------------------------------

Probably worth doing a reboot - once Jongo is available as player, select as your player. Flacs should play.

---------------------------------------

Be sure to specify flc in the codecs NOT flac

It works for me, but crystalguy has had no luck.

Just added a Jongo T2 to my collection .... GBP 51.00

[Wilbatron]

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

[hawsey]

Nice one , did you get a white one ?
What are the benefits of this over the S3 ?
I quite fancied the A2 Hi Fi adapter for my AMP , they seem very cheap .
