That was your post # 666 and you aimed it at me ![]() ![]() RE: Alpha Snakeoil Firmware - 1.1.0 (Blind Testing) - zackthedog - 25-Feb-2018 I haven't tested everything but it seems to be working smoothly here, with Chrome and my old CAPS Carbon N2800 renderer. But I have to say that whatever you've done there's been a subtle leap in sound quality--or maybe I just changed something else in my system. ;-) I've tried Snakeoil as an end-point with Audirvana, or JRiver or whatever. It's always sounded pretty good but maybe a bit generalized on top, lacking some openness. But my wife came in to the living room today and said, "This sounds lovely. Whatever you did, don't change it!" And she never comments unless it's really that good. So thanks. With mpd-dsd-rt and upmpdcli, the sound is just wonderful. RE: Alpha Snakeoil Firmware - 1.1.0 (Blind Testing) - JD1 - 25-Feb-2018 Various issues; might be me ![]() 1.1.0 worked fine (LMS/SL) then one day when I started server, SL failed to start. Tried MPD but on that YMPD page, I just don't know how to find my music. Am I supposed to enter some path under settings? Loaded 1.0.9 and that fixed the Squeezelite problem. Same issue with MPD-YMPD. Today I wanted to try a different network card; one that I think you told me needs the i210 kernel. Tried browse and drag/drop in the System page with either the vmlinuz or .zip file but nothing happens. Loaded 1.1.0 today and the Squeezelite problem returned. Tried installing i210 kernel and I get the message "invalid extension". I'm also curious if that kernel is identical to 4.4.9-rt17, except for some network compatibility?

That should work. Also, kernel upgrades can be dangerous - especially when uploading kernel that requires a different network card. If you lost your network setting you have to connect a keyboard/monitor to your Snakeoil machine to recover. Probably a better idea to hold on that until you're more comfortable using the new GUI.

I'd try and see if I can replicate this.. Will let you know what I can find. Hopefully tomorrow. RE: Alpha Snakeoil Firmware - 1.1.0 (Blind Testing) - JD1 - 26-Feb-2018 Hmmm, something has changed. When I did the first install of 1.10 on 15/2 (I upgraded direct from 1.08), USB options looked like this. Note the top 2 lines: ![]() ...and today (by now I had gone 1.08-1.10-1.09-1.10 but don't know when the change 1st appeared). More instructive titles now. ![]() bbcode img Only the unchecked USB device in photos will stay unchecked. At least the Genesys and Xenran ones won't stay unchecked. BTW; Squeezelite is working today. Haven't changed anything since yesterday when it failed. I'll monitor it in coming days. Also, I got MPD working. Still can't upload kernel and I wonder could this be simply because it is a .zip file? Previous/other kernels have generally been .tar.bz2 RE: Alpha Snakeoil Firmware - 1.1.0 (Blind Testing) - agent_kith - 26-Feb-2018 (26-Feb-2018, 05:55 PM)JD1 Wrote: Only the unchecked USB device in photos will stay unchecked. At least the Genesys and Xenran ones won't stay unchecked.Seems the translations are not working for you. Not too sure exactly why, will have to investigate. Ignore the Xenran entry.. That's a debugging entry I've added for my Accuphase and I forgot to take it out in the alpha release ![]() Did you download that kernel from the install thread? If so that's meant for the ISO and not for this (probably why it doesn't work)... So far I tested - Squeezelite Ralph works fine, MPD works fine.. But there could be a special case where it'd fail, if you can recreate the problem, let me know the steps. Once I can recreate it, I'd be able to fix it.

Think I got the i210 kernel from here; https://www.snakeoil-os.net/forums/Thread-Install-Snakeoil-1-x-x-4-4-9-rt17-Series ...so you are right. I looked around, including here; https://www.snakeoil-os.net/forums/Thread-Snakeoil-1-x-x-4-4-9-rt17-Series ...but found no other links for i210 kernel. So does one for me (not requiring new iso install) not yet exist or am I missing something else? ...like another link within this website or a method for installing the one I found without doing a new iso install?
