Hi Chris,

That was easy. Pi4 now updated.

Hi Rern,

A question on spotifyd: I note that the info on the UI (great job on the UI, btw) states a sample rate of 48 kHz which was confirmed on my USB DAC display. I presume that this is because of an audio parameter on the RPi as I can change the sample rate back to 44.1 kHz (Spotify native) on my PC (through the USB XMOS Driver.)

How do I tweak Re6 to play Spotify at 44.1 kHz sample rate? Or rather, how do I get Re6 to play Spotify at its native sample rate. I remember, some time back, I changed an audio configuration file (alsa.conf maybe) to achieve this. But it also meant it would play all other sources at 44.1 kHz too - which I did not want. So I ended up with a Larkbox to play Spotify and RPi for radio and music files.

MPD is getting partially through scanning the media shares and will end up with:

Oct 22 14:15 : exception: error on client 93: Output buffer is full
Oct 22 14:15 : exception: No such directory

And will not restart the share that has the problem.

My library is not small:

Artists: 34,754
Albums: 12,272
Songs: 183,777

And that's not all, it should be over 250K songs and I have not added the share for the DTS music.

All my music is stored on a Qnap NAS with gigabit Ethernet, Raspberry PI 3 connected over Ethernet not WiFi.

Other that this issue Re6 is great, play back of audio sounds super!

Update R+Re6 20201023

In I described the process to establish a BT connection as a receiver (sink). After today's update the steps are no more necessary. It's now fully automatic!

For completeness I had a look on the sender (source) mode: It's just that simple!

Re Bluetooth:
Listening to a podcast from my phone now. It's fantastic. Now I can take the Chromecasts off my receivers.

Reboot twice if needed. First time bluetooth was not in discoverable mode.

Hi rern,

I have been having trouble with the backup/restore utility in the system menu, and I think I can see what is going on.

The /etc/netctl/SSID file which is saved in backup.gz is not the current one, but the one which was last restored. If I edit the profile in /etc/netctl, the changed file is not saved in the backup. I think this might be the case for some other files as well.
