Hello everyone,
I develop a small streamer for a visually impaired friend of mine. After trying different software packages (Volumio, Moode), Runeaudio has turned out to be the most capable software for this. I use infrared remote via LIRC, combined with speech synthesys feedback. Via the IR remote my friend can choose predefined playlists, tracks etc. Through text to speech (espeak package) he can hear track being played. Works nicely!
I used Runeaudio beta 0.5 succesfully for this setup on Raspberry Pi 2B. Controlling MPD directly through Lirc is what I needed. There is one thing that did not work, my Tp-Link Archer T2U wifi adapter is not supported. I found out that driver is included from kernel 4.19.
Then I came this Re1 software. Wifi adapter works! But... playlists are not saved. It says it does in the webinterface, but when I select the folder icon in the queue, nothings shows up. Also /var/lib/mpd/playlists stays empty.
I reinstalled, did full update through addons menu, but is just does not work. I install through the Balene Etcher app on Mac to SD card, just like I always did with other software, even tried Pi Baker burning sw on Mac, same result.
Any hints?
Version used is RuneAudio+R_e1.2.img.xz 29/9/19
What is perhaps interesting is that when I chose update in the Addons menu, some errors were shown concerning file ownership in the /mnt/USB/... directories, including ..../playlists. Could it have anything to do with that?
