DietPi V100 Imminent

[pitadavespa]

Marc,

I tried Subsonic and it is, indeed, a good solution. Worked just fine without any flaws.

I have one doubt: in jukebox player, when using flac files, I had to disable all transcoding, so the player doesn't "convert" them to mp3.
Do I need to do that?
I thought it would never transcode music or video when in jukebox player.


Thanks,
Luis

Glad to hear you got it working Luis.

I'm not sure why there's the option to transcode when you're in Jukebox mode, but as you've found, all you need to do is unselect the transcode settings in that player and it plays them 'straight' - if you want to confirm for yourself that it's working correctly you can log in to your pi with a terminal and run htop, play a file and you'll see ffmpeg running and the various parameters it's using.

Just a quick note to point out that DietPi has just been updated to release 102 with a significant number of new developments, fixes and adaptations unfortunately there are so many fixes in this version it's not available as an update and will require a new image - but of course you can use dietpi-back up to grab your working system and then apply it back to your new installation:

v102
(03/12/15)

Important DietPi Changes:
All DietPi images have been updated to v102 and are required to run the latest version of DietPi. Previous images will no longer update, and are no longer supported.
Passwords | All passwords throughout DietPi are now dietpi (previously raspberry). This includes everything with a password (eg: dietpi-software installations).
DietPi for Odroid C1/XU4 has changed to Debian Jessie | The DietPi images are now based on the excellent Debian Jessie images by Meveric http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.ph...114970#p114970. Why Debian? First, its more streamline and lightweight when compared to Ubuntu. Second, it reduces my coding workload from 3 distros to 2, as Ubuntu has different packages/filepaths/requirments that required additional coding and testing.

New Features:
DietPi-Launcher | Menu system that allows you to run any of the DietPi programs, all from one place.
DietPi-Cron | Menu system that allows you to change the cron start times: #118 (comment)

Software Additions:
DietPi-Software (Odroids C1/XU4) | Kodi is now available for Odroid C1 and XU4.
DietPi-Software (Odroids C1/XU4) | DietPi optimized LXDE desktop is now available. Vastly improved C1 (no longer uses FBturbo driver).
DietPi-Software (Odroids C1/XU4, OPi) | DietPi optimized Weaved installation is now available.
DietPi-Software (Odroids C1/XU4) | DietPi optimized MiniDLNA installation option is now available.

Changes / Improvements / Optimizations:
General | Support for Raspberry PiZero (honestly?, i didnt have to change a thing )
General | Removed one of the reboots during first run filesystem expansion. This will speed up the inital setup of your system. Available for all DietPi images v101 or higher.
DietPi-Software | PHP now sets upload_max_filesize and php_max_post_size to 2GB. This will increase the max filesize limit with php uploads (eg: Owncloud). Previously 20~MB.
DietPi-Software | PHP now sets upload_tmp_dir to /var/tmp/php_upload_tmp. This was previously stored on /tmp as ramdisk, which limited php uploads (eg: Owncloud) to half your total RAM, causing possible failed uploads.
DietPi-Software (Jessie) | PHP will also install and optimize APCu along side Opcache (APCu is data store, OPcache is opcode cache). This should vastly improve webserver performance.
DietPi-Software | HAproxy will now install v1.6.2.
DietPi-Software | Deluge-web no longer requires a service restart by the user during 1st run.
DietPi-Software | Enabled Deluged logging with level warning to /var/log/deluged.log and /var/log/deluge-web.log
DietPi-Config > Advanced > Time sync (ntpd) | New options. Allows you to change the update frequency of NTPD time syncs. eg: Daily/Hourly/disabled etc.
DietPi-Config > Performance > Overclocking | Tweaked the RPi 1/2 overclocking settings to improve stability. These are settings I personally use across all my RPi devices during testing, and, should be stable for all.
DietPi-Config > Advanced > Swapfile size | When the user changes the swapfile size, the new swapfile and its size will now be generated at the same time. Previously this was completed during boot.
DietPi-Config > Advanced > Swapfile size | Can now also be disabled.
DietPi-Config (OPi) | You can now update the Kernel and Firmware for your OrangePi. This will run Loboris kernel update script: https://github.com/loboris/OrangePi-...date_kernel.sh
General | /etc/apt/sources.list is now unified across all DietPi Jessie images (excluding Raspbian), using the global Debian mirror: http://ftp.debian.org/debian
General | All firmware and kernel have been updated to latest.

Bug fixes:
DietPi-Update | Some users were experiencing wget failures due to SSL/cert issue on GitHub, or local network setup. This was causing the 1st run update and installation to fail. The script has been updated to use curl which does not fail. #125
Kernel Modules (OPi) | Resolved issues with invisible modules by updating the kernel / firmware to latest (provided by Loboris). #115
General (Jessie) | Resolved an issue where SystemD would throw warnings on /dev/tty1 regarding duplicate fstab entries. USB mounts are now disabled by default in fstab on new images. DietPi will enable one of the mounts as required during "1st run USB drive" setup.
DietPi-Software (Odroid C1) | Resolved an issue with Kodi launching as black screen.
DietPi-Software | Resolved an issue with DietPi-Cam not starting during boot. Many thanks to Rich T for his assistance with debugging: http://fuzon.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=218#p842
DietPi-Ramlog | Fix for mongodb log files, thanks to Olmo: https://twitter.com/otmezger/status/670004115561299968

The new version of DietPi has a whole raft of fixes, tweaks and new feature, perhaps most notably integration with the new 'LetsEncrypt' service allowing you to add properly signed SSL certificates to your server, great for security if you're streaming your music over the net from your pi box (as I am)

Also fixes for the squeezebox server and more fine grained control over processor threading and other technical features:

v103
(09/12/15)

New Features:

DietPi-Affinity | Allows you to set CPU affinity for most processes. This allows you to specify which CPU cores the program will use. Also applied automatically during boot (along side DietPi-Nice). Info: http://fuzon.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.p...5&p=1064#p1064.

DietPi-LetsEncrypt | Frontend for Lets Encrypt and intergration into DietPi systems. Supports Apache2 webserver (LAMP / LASP) only. Info: http://fuzon.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.p...5&p=1064#p1062.

Software Additions:

DietPi-Software | Added DietPi optimized installation for Lets Encrypt. This allows you to easily obtain and install a free SSL certificate for your webserver. Info: http://fuzon.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.p...5&p=1064#p1062. Many thanks to thechildofroth for his assistance with testing: #128

DietPi-Software (RPi) | Added DietPi optimized installation for Wiring Pi (v2.31). Alternate GPIO libary based on C.

Changes / Improvements / Optimizations:

DietPi-Ramlog | Will now preserve log file ownerships.

DietPi-Config > Networking | You can now specify static DNS servers.

DietPi-Nice | Will now show you what is being applied, and, if successful.

DietPi-Software | Reduced php-apc and php-apcu cache sizes slightly. Applied lower limit of 10mb.

DietPi-Software | Reduced the amount of total packages installed with Full logging mode (logrotate). Many thanks to Gordon Williams for spotting this: http://fuzon.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=256#p1073

DietPi-Software (RPi) | Moved all RPi hardware project releated items to DietPi Optimized software. Under RPi Hardware Projects.

Bug fixes:

LMS/Squeezebox server | Resolved issue with the program unable to start at boot. DietPi-Software will now install v7.9. Existing installations of LMS/Squeezebox will require a reinstall with dietpi-uninstall and dietpi-software, to fix their installation.

DietPi-Software | Resolved an issue with apt-get 100 errors during installation due to incomplete apt-cache. DietPi-Software will now run a simulated apt-get install, before running the installations. If this fails, it will attempt to clean and update the apt-cache. Many thanks to Zombievirus for the report and assistance testing: #132

DietPi-Software | Resolved an issue with Proftpd giving errors: /var/log/wtmp: No such file or directory. Many thanks for Gordon Williams for spotting this one: http://fuzon.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=256#p1073

General | Resolved an issue where optimizations for the RPi v2 would be made based on 2 cores. This was due to an incorrect $(nproc) value which reported 2 processor cores on the RPi. $(nproc --all) is now used and returns the correct value.

General | Resolved an issue where /etc/resolv.conf (dns server) was not updating. This was due to a missing package (resolvconf) and will now be installed on all DietPi systems. Resolvconf will automatically update DHCP dns servers. For Static Ips, dns-nameservers must now be set in /etc/network/interfaces.

General | Resolved issue where ntpd drift file wouldnt update. Many thanks to Gordon

DietPi-Config > Networking | As dns-nameservers must be set for static ips, DietPi-Config will enable/disable dns-nameservers automatically in /etc/network/interfaces when applying network changes.

DietPi is about to become easier than ever before to install and setup.

In beta at the moment is an unattended install solution, which will mean all you need to do is DL the image, burn it sd card and edit one file (/boot/dietpi.txt) as well as being able to set your wireless settings etc (which you've been able to do for a while - so the system comes straight up and you don't need to patch it in to your router etc). There is now the option to pre-select your software choices in this file so DP will boot, resize itself on to the sd card, run any updates, install the software you've selected and set it all running.

We're now at version 104 with some useful fixes for Squeezebox users and some nice features to control process priority and threading (so you can assign applications to their own core on a pi2).

[Rothchild]

Just to note that V106 is now up and running with Shareport Sync support, so you can 'throw' your pi audio from any Airplay enabled device (or any Windows or Mac machine with 'Airfoil' installed: https://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/)

This is a nice solution to having Spotify playing out of your Pi as you can run it on your Windows box and simply Airplay it through the Pi.

I guess it's of relatively little interest on a board like this but v108 of DietPi now features an optimised installer for BruteFIR, a realtime room analyser and DRC EQ.

http://fuzon.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5&p=57#p57

There's also a new player (Squeezelite) for LMS / Squeezebox installs.

That's really cool.
A microphone is needed, right?

Yes (and a suitable pre-amp for the mic) but it doesn't need to be anything fancy, if you have access to a basic USB sound card / interface it should be plenty.
