Snakeoil Firmware - 1.1.9 (Blind Testing Update 9)

[mkysimes]

Cortex-A72=RPi4

D'oh.. Must be a bug with the machine name returned by RPi4.

Can you rename the word generic to armv7l. That should make it work again. Will also create an issue to fix the generic not working on RPi4 builds.

Yeah! That worked! And as an added bonus all of the MPD stuff works too! I am now able to select MPD v .20 and even upsample on the pi4! Awesome work agent_kith! The only problem I have now is I am unable to start an LMS server on the pi4 but that is far from important as I can always fire up the PC and start one of those. Can't wait to get some time to sit down and listen!

Thanks again for all of your hard work!

With LMS, hopefully I can find out what's wrong later this weekend. Still need to make it work on the Pi3 before I make Buster official..

I think need to get another Pi, just not sure if I can get one from a B&M store right now..

Last stable error-free update was 1.1.8,  update to 1.1.9 cause lot of new issues, for example - broken or unstable file transfer (SMBv1) from Windows 10 machines (1809),  random connection lost, occasionally not responding web interface (to resolve connection, you need re-connect to wifi network - i dont know why),  sometimes lost connection to server by squeeze app / track mismatch .  What is need to downgrade to previous build - 1.1.8 ?

Download the 1.1.8 firmware and re-upload it back to Snakeoil PC, it will revert to 1.1.8 firmware then.

Did you re-enable SMBv1 on Windows 10? IIRC this protocol is disabled by default in Windows 10 now? IIRC there's a custom kernel in the kernel section with SMBv2 support, perhaps you can try that and see how it goes.

We are ok thanks, but we are a lesson in how NOT to deal with coronavirus unfortunately. Despite huge advantages in having an NHS and renowned epidemiology centre in London to advise, we have the highest death rate per million in the world to date 500 per million.

There will no doubt be official enquiries, when the present government relinquish power. In 5 years.

I reckon things will get way worse before it gets better - Mother nature's revenge.

Stay safe, and let music soothes the souls.

I have enabled cpuset, however SO has advised me " No tasks are running in (user), please file a bug report and state the music players you are using."

I am using upmpdcli

I forced a hard refresh of the web view and now SO seems happy: "Running in (User): 1724 1742 1746 1749 1750 1751 25767 26457 27001 28707."

However mpd is PID 1727 so does not appear to be running in User

I'll see if I can recreate this problem in my setup. I'm guessing I've partition the processes before they are fully started..

Also, can you do a CTRL+F5 and see if the text above CPUset are refreshed properly? Seems the Ramdisk translations are not working in your setup for some reason. Probably due to browser caching issues?
