Hi Andrew,

How can I get the firmware of Dianemo for my Rpi.

Thanks,

Heinz

Hi,

In Dianemo 12.04 I try to get internet radio working on squeezeslaves with virtual sound cards and a real squeezebox. In LMS, the players are available and ready to control, including favourits.

I followed the WIKI with installation instructions, but touching the button 'Internet Radio' on an orbiter results in an error message 'Datagrid:InternetRadio_7 Type:105 is invalid'.

Any help is much appreciated.

Kind regards
Heinz

Hello Andrew,

Thanks for your feedback.

I thought, this issue might be related to specific BIOS settings of EeeBox itself. Therefore if have switched through all options of the Suspend mode but without success.

Hi Andrew,

Last weekend I installed two different ASUS eee box EB1501(U/P) as MM. However,  the power on/off commands aren't working neither from an orbiter nor from the admin-page. Other MM (Acer Revo, Shuttle XS35) are controllable this ways.

Do you have same issues recently from other installations.

Thanks!

Heinz

Hi Andrew,

do you think it is worth to try the Philips SmartTV and should their DNLA standard 'Simplyshare' be compatible with Dianemo.

Hi paolopost,

Since I'm running Kubuntu 8.10, I don't know the reason for. Anyway, next weeks I intend to upgrade my system and come back with my findings.

Heinz

Sorry for belated reply.
Please check this post http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=10906.0 for HDMI sound issue which is solved for me.

Heinz

After testing various configurations without success, I got the issue solved and the sound over HDMI working. The Shuttle XS35GT is not PnP in LMCE like other Ion2 based systems, too (see http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=10058.0). Basically we need to add the right modules for the sound-cards which are a Nvidia GT21x and an Intel HDA based one.

The output of  lspci shows the audio device name

Code Select Expand

# lspci | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)


and aplay -l shows

Code Select Expand


root@moon103:/proc/asound# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


Accordingly, card0 is the analog sound card and card1 the NVIDIA, so I updated the
1./etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf
and the
2./etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
with

Code Select Expand

options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 probe_mask=1,2


Then it was needed to create the personalized configuration for the sound card with file .asoundrc in the home directory because /etc/asound.conf will be overwritten/updated by LMCE.

Code Select Expand

nano ~/.asoundrc
pcm.!default hdmi:NVidia
pcm:iec958 hdmi:NVidia
pcm.!hdmi-remap {
  type asym
  playback.pcm {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "remap-surround71"
  }
}
pcm.!remap-surround71 {
  type route
  slave.pcm "hw:1,3"
  ttable {
    0.0= 1
    1.1= 1
    2.4= 1
    3.5= 1
    4.2= 1
    5.3= 1
    6.6= 1
    7.7= 1
  }
}



Now change to "/usr/share/alsa/cards" and replace the default HDA-Intel.conf with the one at pastebin by following this post
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1624449&highlight=hdmi+sound+shuttle+ion2

Backup the current file HDA-Inel.conf before replacing with http://pastebin.com/f2e38265 if you need to switch back.

After these steps I'm able to listen AC3 and DTS surround sound over HDMI.

Let me respond day after tomorrow, I guess having found the background of this issue.

Heinz

No, there are no PCM outputs available in alsamixer. Can you give me the output of your core and MD in Lmce-admin 'Advanced' - 'Software' - 'Software versions' please?

Heinz

when I check in lmce-admin 'Advanced' - 'Software' - 'Software versions', I get for the core and MD the following

alsa-base = 1.0.19.dfsg-3
alsa-modules-2.6.27-17-generic = 1.0.23+dfsg-0ubuntu1+2.6.27-17.46
alsa-utils = 1.0.18-1ubuntu11~dia1

and I never did an upgrade?!
I have sound via HDMI in MythTv and KDE but still non when I try to play DVD or Audio in LMCE.

Heinz

Hi,
if you ran cat /proc/asound/version on your MD, you get the version installed which should be 1.0.23, since the kernel 2.6.27-17-generic comes already with the newer ALSA version. Can you please check whether you have sound in KDE via system settings.
However, we might  move this part to the other topic "sound issues".

Heinz

Hm,
I will update the WIKI with the procedure used to get the XS35GT working as MD. However, I'm not aware whether this is the right time to state it on the WIKI since I haven't got the audio running yet! After reinstalling the whole system due to broken core, there's no sound from the XS35GT even via MythTv.
Heinz

Hi,
that's what I have mentioned in with PM, my XS35GT did it 3 times the same way you've described which took about 20 minutes and then the AV-Wizard starts.
Heinz

no TV card in this MD installed only in my core.
I get a lot info with dmesg. how to limit the output for audio only?

thanks,
Heinz
