I'd build a new kernel later this weekend.. Will let you know. ![]() RE: Request For Comments: Snakeoil OS 1.1.0 (Blind Testing) - agent_kith - 23-Sep-2017 Turns out exFat is user space file system (FUSE) so there is no new kernel to build. To get this working in the WebApp is better done in BlindTesting. Added this as a new feature for 1.1.0 instead. Until then, you can install the exFAT userspace tools, and then modify /etc/fstab to have it mount automatically, or via commandline for manual mount. BlindTesting will handle this a lot better when it's released (e.g. in theory you may be able to swap HDDs and Snakeoil will detect it automatically). RE: Request For Comments: Snakeoil OS 1.1.0 (Blind Testing) - agent_kith - 13-Oct-2017 It's been a while, and I have.... nothing to report. ![]() Been very busy in the past few weeks at work, and unfortunately no time to look into Snakeoil. Hopefully things will look better later in the year. In the meantime, if I have forgotten to respond to anybody within 24 hours, my apologies. I'd respond when I can. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() RE: Request For Comments: Snakeoil OS 1.1.0 (Blind Testing) - Bromf - 14-Oct-2017 (13-Oct-2017, 08:12 PM)agent_kith Wrote: It's been a while, and I have.... nothing to report.I am sure we all appreciate your efforts and are giving you the space you need to attend to the tasks that facilitate your continued existence and thus, eventually, further progress on your most wondrous Snakeoil project....:-) Any lack of contact on our part is out of respect and not disinterest..... I certainly check the Snakeoil forums daily for any new postings and ,hey!, it works already !! anything more is icing on our audio cake...;-) Please take time to recharge, relax, and enjoy life. Best regards, Bob. RE: Request For Comments: Snakeoil OS 1.1.0 (Blind Testing) - agent_kith - 26-Oct-2017 Just a quick report - two weeks on and still havn't done much on 1.1.0. My day time job is really busy right now, and that's tiring me out more than usual, leaving me exhausted at the end of the day. ![]() Not complaining really, it is what it is. Right now I'm busy working with two hospitals and getting their entertainment system online. These are interesting projects and frankly I'm having the best time of my life problem solving two extremely complicated setups. Funnily enough, while I havn't been releasing new updates, or new articles - activity to the Website has increased. While the numbers are still modest, it's a good growth. People have randomly googled and found Snakeoil OS, and have the curiosity to try it out. So the efforts of SEO, understanding the analytics from visitors and revamping the website accordingly to better target the audience works. There's still a lot to be done, e.g. need to improve the manual (Thanks Martin!). While I'm doing what I can, still need you guys to spread the word on Snakeoil OS. Allow me to blow my own trumpet, IMHO - Snakeoil OS is the best option for sound quality right now if you want to play music from a computer! ![]() The idea is to spread Snakeoil OS everywhere. While Google is bringing in dedicated audiophiles who are actively looking for the best audiophile software, your comments/reviews/exposure will bring in the people who are on the fence. Make people understand they don't have to pay good money to get the best. Yes there is a donation option, but this is not paid software. Snakeoil OS is the best - and it is free. Want to know the extent of this freedom? Anybody can copy Snakeoil OS, call it their own idea and make money off it. There are absolutely no strings attached. In another bit of good news, despite the odds, I've finally setup the NF9C-2800 in a Fractal Design Node 202 case, using on-board USB coupled with a simple passive filter. On it's own this rig is decent but lacks clarity. So randomly I've decided to add a tweak to improve aesthetically. Surprisingly that tweak improved the clarity! ![]() While not much have progressed for 1.1.0 (What can I say, it's a lot of work), the current version is about to get an update - 1.0.6. ![]() Now I have two physical high quality playback machines (NF9C-2600 and NF9C-2800: one to experiment on, the other for auditioning). When I have more time on my hand, will begin experimenting with Wine and Windows Tidal for folks with non-MQA DACs ![]() RE: Request For Comments: Snakeoil OS 1.1.0 (Blind Testing) - rocl444 - 27-Oct-2017 just posted again about snakeoil on a small board in nz. http://darklantern.proboards.com/thread/171/nake-oil?page=1&scrollTo=6992 RE: Request For Comments: Snakeoil OS 1.1.0 (Blind Testing) - polarlight - 07-Nov-2017 (26-Aug-2017, 08:50 PM)agent_kith Wrote:(26-Aug-2017, 08:27 PM)m@jor Wrote: https://www.snakeoil-os.net/forums/Thread-Request-For-Comments-Snakeoil-1-0-0?pid=755#pid755Already planned for 1.1.0, here. Hello, agent_kith! Of course have! Add please the option including the player to download OS SnakeOil over the network from the server or from a router with a connected USB drive, then the player will be able to disable all SATA and USB ports in the BIOS. It will be very cool for sound. RE: Request For Comments: Snakeoil OS 1.1.0 (Blind Testing) - agent_kith - 07-Nov-2017 (07-Nov-2017, 04:35 AM)polarlight Wrote: Of course have!

It will be very cool for sound. PXE booting. I have a video of that before: It can already be done now actually.. Will see if I can write up a how-to to do this (don't think I have written anything on this yet). RE: Request For Comments: Snakeoil OS 1.1.0 (Blind Testing) - polarlight - 08-Nov-2017 Thank you, agent_kith! We will try. RE: Request For Comments: Snakeoil OS 1.1.0 (Blind Testing) - agent_kith - 14-Nov-2017 Technology moves very quickly, it is real hard to keep up. After a lot of consideration, thought and planning - decided to bite the bullet and move from ng2-admin to ngx-admin. Here's a preview of the new BlindTesting web app. Ignore the two 'Dashboard' for now, that's intentional. Not a bad effort in 3 hours work. Hopefully can work on this more later this week. |
