it would be great. Looks like a much better platform than RPi !

Interesting these igel machines. They have several different ones, with used ones too on ebay. Did you do something in particular in the install to have mpdpup running ?

Hi Idolse

I am still with former version 0.9.2. without problem.
When approximately do you plan a 0.9.4, if I can spare the effort of two upgrades, I would be glad to

No problem, You are right, I edited my post which was misleading : iPad connects to the ADSL Box / Wifi router and goes through LAN to the PC with mpd server. No strange transmission mode :D

Less devices active is better for SNR (theoritically, did not measure).

I did not mention I have a Windows ...

Hi amolan

requirements are very limited. For myself :
- an asus 1001PX eeePC netkook with Lan (Bluetooth and Wifi disconnected)
- iPad/iPod as a remote control
- the excellent waveIO board for USB to SPDIF conversion and feed my DAC

Sound great !

Hope that helps

Edited for clarity

Hi Idolse,

Thanks! That did the trick, I did not need to fill in volume2.
It is playing now. I will compare it to the raspberry pi I also use; will be interesting.........
Kind regards,

Keep us posted on that supersurfer; we dream that some day, maybe, Idolse will have some time to go for cheap ...

Hi Idolse

Good to have you back, and still very responsive and helpfull as usual, much appreciated.

When I think about Mark comment, he says he wants to be a kind of representative of "Windows users". It's me too.

The problem I feel is these guys and myself do not know a thing about symlink and ...

Hi Mark

Glad you joined and thanks for your opinion on mpdpup and AP-Linux. Maybe the two developpers should cooperate to develop a single branch still better :wink: ( I have understood that Linux guys like to fork, dont Know if There is an antonym)

For your problem with directly attached HDD ...

1) I have seen there is now an "audiophile linux" based on Linux Mint Debian. It happens I understand nothing about all these distros, there are more than people to support them. Hopefully we have the great and helpfull Idolse :idea: :idea:

Hi all

I am not sure I fully understand the latest post. If I may wrap it up with my words
- is it possible with Mpdpup to use RAM as a local cache, feeding all music from the local or remote HDD to fast memory, as CMP does. If yes, how must the system be customized ?
- same question with an ...

HI Idolse, Hi all

* suggested evolution (for the dumbs possibly :lol: )
- at boot, error message if ethernet unavailable
- at boot, error message if remote file server unavailable
- option to display the cover art on the device (eg I use a NetBoot as my server with Mpod remote control but would ...

Hi Idolse

After a little break with Windows and Puppy Slacko to confirm my WaveIO and Laptop were working, and following carefully your trouble shooting instructions, I got my mpdpup up as well as remote with mPod. The CLI clients are really not user friendly, its the least one can say.

Just for ...

Hi Idolse

To wrap up
- config done
- keyboard in CLI is working. Did suppress the nice command as you advise
- still no keyboard in X mpdconfig or even rxvt
- putty SSH allows me to enter the user root but not the password


After boot i have a prompt
#music directory mounted, starting mpd
then ...

Idolse

The problem is that I cannot type anything in the CLI, so cant check if the mpd is up. Anyway, I have to fix that problem even if it was. Was just too busy these last two days but have to start again. I'll check also on another HP Laptop to see if it is HW related or myself related :cry ...

Thanks Idolse for your time, I will try to be more precise

I have been able to configure mpdwizard from the cli level, including the recognition of the file server.

When I boot all message seem to go well, last one I could get is "recognizing media device "
Then I have the messages
"Patch mode 38 ...

former mpdconfig was remaining in /mnt/home
deleted it and it seems to roll on
... but still no possibility to type in Sound Output Name

Hi Idolse

Thanks for your first replies, I have understood for the keybd. BTW i think there might be a little mistake in the help message when you enter the setup with F2 : it is written in the samples below puppy pfix=fr instead of puppy pkeys=fr).

I have tried several times but have not been ...

Merci Christian

Je comprends le principe. J'ai réussi à trouver un assistant de configuration mais du coup mon clavier ne fonctionne plus (:-(

Je m'y remettrai demain.
Tu es au Canada ?

Bonsoir
