Installed but not playing

Post by mrchumpley »

I want to stream music from my computer (Linux Ubuntu 20.04) via ethernet connection to Raspberry Pi 4B/HiFiBerry DAC2 HD with piCorePlayer software.
I successfully installed Guayadeque (thanks to this forum!) and uploaded my music to the library. My router recognises the Pi and has allocated an IP address. I have added this address to the Playback preferences after selecting ALSA.
Yet, when I select a track in the library and press play it doesn't load the track or play it. Likewise, when I choose a radio station it doesn't play it.
So so close, and yet nothing.
I don't understand why Guayadeque isn't playing the music which it clearly identifies on the system?
Changing the Playback options doesn't seem to make any difference.

Any help most gratefully received.

Hello and welcome,

Thanks for the speedy reply!

Actually I'm not getting any error messages. When I double click a track, nothing happens. When I right click and select play, nothing happens.

When I tried the radio it seems to think it's playing it (as the button controls in top left changed the play to pause and it says "playing...' and the URL, but it's obviously not processing anything from what I can see as the VU meters are doing nothing. I did have a brief message at the top of the screen saying that a network error had occured with Guayadeque but it was just a flash message and it was only when I tried to play the radio.

Is there anything I can do in Terminal to interrogate things?

Thanks - I'm gutted as it looks like a brilliant program.

Hi - I realised what it was you wanted me to do (or thought would be helpful anyway)

Running in Terminal gives me this:

I'm afraid it means very little to me, other than it looks like some stuff is missing?

Does that help?

Do you have the gstreamer plugins installed ? try adding them with

Code: Select all

sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly

I ran that but it tells me I already had them installed as latest versions and hasn't made any difference.
