Implement power filter as described at:īase system: Armbian pine64 legacy / Ubuntu Xenial Desktop on Samsung Evo+ 32GB.5v Power supply through EULER connection pins.ordered custom aluminium stand to hold device in "alarm-clock" position (not yet delivered/mounted).Pine64+ (2GB) with official LCD screen and C4 labs surround I'm sharing my work here, in the hope that someone might find it useful and that others will join me in making the Pine64 one of the best choices for a Squeezebox-Touch replacement.Īlthough my system will output to a USB DAC and connect to Ethernet network only, it would be relatively easy to connect a DAC HAT for analogue output and include wifi. It is also much cheaper than competing products. The Pine64 hardware is well suited as it has ample processing and RAM headroom and dedicated USB ports, directly hardwired to the SoC and an independent bus dedicated to the Gb Ethernet port (if we discount the LCD screen). The Pine64 has not been supported up to now. Code exists to clone the squeezebox touch functionality to a number of devices, including a range of "Pi"s. The server-side "Logitech Media Server" and much of the player software was open-sourced when the products were discontinued and there is a lively community effort, keeping the project alive. The Squeezebox Touch was introduced in 2010 and could output high bit-rate digital streams in audiophile quality, over COAX, optical fibre or USB, in addition to its own, builtin DAC, which could handle standard bit-rate and output stereo analogue in high quality. Unfortunately the line was discontinued by Logitech in 2012. The provided high audio quality output at very reasonable price and could play a large number of formats from a number of sources, including local archives and online streaming services and were highly configurable. Enter url chrome://flags and scroll down to Overlay Scrollbars and enable the setting.This is a copy of a thread that I posted on the Slimdevices forums.įor those of you who don't already know, the Squeezebox Touch was part of a family of devices developed by Slimdevices and later bought by Logitech.

Perform this step separately from the rest. If I am listening to music and the phone rings or my better half wants to talk, I can pick up the remote and pause play quickly and easily, a lot quicker than any other way! If I can achieve the same user ability with Moode audio I will go for it, however at my advanced years I cannot get much improvement in the SQ using Moode audio over Squeezelite I have not yet added the config file for the ATX power control system and for the FLIR IR remote device. My first impression of Moode Audio using the touch screen is that it is not as good as using Jivelite, it is a lot slower, and the web pages do not "fit" the screen as well as the Jivelite system. I have a genuine Squeezebox IR remote, and can control the Squeezelite/Jivelite system with either touch, IR remote or over the web! The case is a Hammond one, just the right size! I have a FLIR and an Pi ATX power switch. The Pi display has a cr*p viewing angle and the swivel allows me to view it at 90 degs without stooping or getting down on my knees. My system uses a Pi official display in a swivel mounted display I built.

I did the necessary reconfigure and it works OK! The Dac in this system, is a Hifiberry pro Plus, with internal USB storage. I put the SDcard I created using Moode beta 12 into my normal streaming player, which is a LMS server, squeezelite, Jivelite based system. Some thoughts on using MoodeAUDIO Beta 12 with Pi Official Display. Beta 12 on Pi official display in swivel case.
