RuneAudio 0.3-beta for Raspberry Pi

Small update for my previous post :

1- it's possible to 'lock' the audio output interface by saving the MPD Conf (not only select another interface) , it's kept after reboot (at least with my hifiberry dac) but the MPD Conf of Rune page don't show the correct choice (UI issue only I think).

2- On CPU load with software volume control and 192-24 files, it's around 17-18 % with leval at 100 and it jump to 20-21% when level it not at 100. This is a very small increase and thus demonstrate than the resampling process it very efficient (New MPD one I guess). I can hear those who will say it's not anymore bit perfect but the CPU load seems to prove that that it's bit perfect when playing a 100 andnot below (which is quite logical). If i'm correct, software controled level is just great cause it convenient and same time bit perfect when playing a 100...

3- Seems it's very very long to change to disabled control level, UI spinning for some minutes .... so there is probably something wrong, but it's possible just be patient !
With volume control disabled, the CPU load is around 17-18 % with the same file (192-24) wich seems confirm that software control is really bitperfect at level 100


Guys, I have a small suggestion. I use two RPI, one with the hifiberry dac in office and another with USB connection to a TEAC UD-501 for my main system. I changeg the hostname of one through the UI and its just working fine !
My suggestion is to make the host name visible somewhere in the UI since the URL is not visible any more when using a chrome application link
My best suggestion would be to use the title tag for that, so that would be visible (and not intrusive) in the window title bar.

Yes, same in my setup.
When I change something in "General music daemon options" and click "Save and Apply", Rune stop working and "connecting" in infinity.

Fresh install on raspy B+ with Iqaudio pidac+.

the good stuff:
- hardware volume control works on my iqaudio pidac+
- local cover art to mpdroid works (mpdroid settings here: )
- static ip wifi works (tried only wep) on edimax EW-7811Un, just setting it from the ui (after the first ethernet connection).
- it feels that it boots and connects faster to wifi than what was using before (v*****o), 40? seconds from cold and I can already access the UI and internet
- UI feels more polished and faster than v...
- web radio work.
- at every boot it always uses the pidac+(per settings) and it remembers the alsamixer volume from the previous session (GOOD)
- changing outputs on the fly from mpdroid works (you have just to stop and resume the current playing song)
- also I have the auto library update on, no problems.
- sound seems good for the little time I tried it.


the weird ones:
1) The interface, in MPD settings, sometime shows "RaspberryPi Analog Out" after reboots even if I'm playing from the pidac+, but I think it's an interface bug.
the settings are saved but the interface shows the defaults and not what's set to?

2) I just had "spinning wheel, connecting..." while applying some mpd settings(volume hardware control to disable), ui became unreachable by wifi and also mpdroid wasn't able to connect. But I was able to ssh via wifi .
I was able to ssh and ping google, ssh worked... so weird stuff.
I waited 5 minutes, it was still spinning and unreachable, so I powered it off. Weirdly rebooting from ssh didn't work, something was holding it from rebooting but I had no ethernet cable nor monitor to see.
After the forced reset, the settings were the one I saved. So it saved the settings but the UI crashed.

3) 24/192 some stutters as soon I do something else on the pi, top says mpd at 75-80% cpu while playing those (5500+ kbps files)
This on both hardware and disabled volume control.
If I ssh while it's playing 24/192 @5500+kbps, I get a stutter exactly at the moment I login, like it's topping out the cpu or something.

It was just a short listening session, I'll report more after a few days of use.
Issues aside, top work guys, thanks for it, major improvement over previous versions.

Static IP over ethernet connection is not working for me.
I configure eth0 with static IP with network optin in menu but after reboot raspi is not connected and it is not possible ping with terminal (connection is unreachable).
