Software Failure!

[garethsnaim]

Hello.
I have just downloaded this software to give it a try on a Pi 2, I have purchased a superfast microssd card and installed with windiskimager.

It boots up fine and I currently have it plugged into a screen where I can see the interface

However if I try to go to it via a browser I get a big ugly flashing sign telling me: Software Failure.Press left mouse button to continue.
Guru Meditation #0000022.65045032.

This is on Safari, in OSX

On chrome OSX its fine, and on iphone and surface its fine, so I am guessing an incompatibility with safari, which of course I use the most!

Is there a work around?

I am connecting to the right IP the software failure bit is in the rune interface, plus its the same IP I am using on other devices

Rune and Safari don't like each other it would appear

I genuinely have no idea what you are on about regarding URLs, I don't need a URL I know the IP. The IP on any other browser and device works but not on safari.

I have been playing all afternoon with Rune. I love the interface however I suspect that Raspberry PI is not really up to the task. Its been scanning literally all day on the music files of which there is not tonnes, it seems to have bummed out at around M, no amount of cajoling will get it to do any more scanning although it says it is updating.

But I guess the main issue for me is no album artwork until the album is playing, I can understand the pressures this probably puts on a little PI, but still its a something I cannot do without.

Its nice but not for me, so I'll bump back to Daphile for now. I'll possibly get the PI 3 and see how that goes.

Hi garethsnaim,

if the scanning is really slow, are you sure you have no other (non-music, e.g. video) files present under the folder you are importing?

On my own system, I witnessed that one single DVD under my music directory used up some 3 hours (mpd was scanning the .VOB files). So my advice is to take a look if you have no .avi .mpg .mpeg .VOB etc. in the folder (or subfolders) you're trying to import into the mpd database.

Kind regards,
PiFi

Hi, I do not think there is anything untoward in their. I'll have a poke around.

I would like to get the PI used as Audio. Its certainly not the server end, i.e. its ex corporate equipment dual quad core beast of a thing, I consistently get 110MB/s down 60MB/s up on this thing. Daphile scanned the same folder in around 5 minutes. (On a 'proper' computer mind)

I'll plug it back in and see if I can get a log off it.
