Dear folks,

it has been a long long time since the new version of RaspyFi has been promised… But here we are finally ! You’re favourite audiophile linux distribution is here!

It took so long for various reasons, all of them will be explained later on. But let’s start with the amazing features you’re gonna find on RaspyFi!

-Various fixes, such as nas parameters optimized, more stability and less sound glitches (even with async DACs with Hi-Res files)

-A fully functional web-user interface . Here goes a huge applause to ACX and ORION, which joyned RaspyFi and developed this amazing WEBUI.

Here it is:

To access it, simply write http://raspyfi/ on your browser. From here you can browse your music library, control the playback and playlist, and configure RaspyFi in the most user-friendly way we could think on. It works natively on every platform, Android, Mac, Linux, iOS. No need to install anything, just make sure you’re connected to the same network as RaspyFi, point to raspyfi.local/ on your browser and you’re good to go! Or just write the IP of RaspyFi on your browser. Audiophile linux has never been so easy!

Want to know how it works? There’s also an help section, take it as a little User manual…

-AirPlay support built out of the Box, just select it as airplay device. Easy as it sounds. You can use RaspyFi as a remote speaker for your PC, iPhone, iPad or Android Device. Remember to stop local playback before starting Airplay playback!

-WebRadio Support built on the WEBUI, with some selected Radios already built in. Want to add a WebRadio? Easy! Just go on Network, you’ll find the RaspyFi share. Go to the WebRadio folder and paste your .pls or .m3u radio playlist there! To have a .m3u or .pls radio station file, simply open a blank document, paste the webradio url and save it with .pls extension.

-AAC and ALAC support

-More optimizations to the OS.

-Experimental RamPlay capability. Just copy your files (max 256mb total) on the Ramplay samba share, browse to ramplay on the webui, click update this folder, browse it and play it!

Then, there’s a big news for you all. As you may imagine, RaspyFi Team has increased. During the development process of the 1.0 Version, new people have joined the Team. So what you get here is a combined effort of 4 people. ACX and ORION put their skills in developing the amazing WEBUI and further optimizing the system, plus enriching the whole dev experience with their human and professionals qualities. Then we got Buscia, a close friend of mine which can do amazing things while designing which made the brand new RaspyFi logo and gave us some hints on the ergonomic side of things.

So, here it is guys. Hope you will enjoy RaspyFi as much as we did creating it!

UPDATE

We’ve got a lot of feedbacks of RaspyFi 1.0 not booting on some Raspberry Pis. These are new Raspberries with the Hynix RAM. RaspyFi was developed on an older model. So for those of you with a non-booting Pi, here’s the Fix (huge thanks to blueberry who found this)

Download this files: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6GMsyByGsfdQXVXeV9tdk1lejg/edit
Insert your SD Card in your Card Reader, and open the first partition (the only one you can see in Windows)
Replace start.elf , start_cd.elf and start_x.elf with the ones you previously downloaded
If you can’t replace them, open “my computer” as administrator

Then, plug again your SD and enjoy RaspyFi! For more information, and reports about this procedure, please refer here:

http://www.raspyfi.com/forum/raspyfi-install-and-troubleshooting/raspyfi-wont-boot/

We are also receiving lots of feedbacks about what is working and what is not. We are working hard to address all this issues, so you can expect a new fixed release shortly (I hope). I must say these days we are facing lot of things to do, thanks also to the huge amount of incoming traffic on RaspyFi.com . That makes us really proud, and we want to thank you all, who are enjoying RaspyFi and are spreading the word. We are doing our best to address the issues and reply to everyone, as you deserve. Please continue providing us with precious feedbacks, this is helping us a lot!

Just lo let you guys know, the link https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6GMsyByGsfdQXVXeV9tdk1lejg/edit is not working. I would like to download those files. Iam having the same issue for booting my pi.

Works great, very good Image! I am using a USB disk and USB DAC.
But I have to use Chrome as browser, with IE11 I dont get usable grafics, even when using compatibility mode. Any solution?
mcampos

Hi, I just have two questions:

a) Does this distro support DLNA/UPnP along side AirPlay?

b) Does it support multiple output if you have one or more DACs has extra audio outputs besides the mini-jack?

Thank you.

Hi. Using Raspyfi with a PCM2704 DAC. After installing Raspyfi 1.0 (and installing wicd-curses) everything works. For only 12GBP the DAC sounds surprisingly good through my (rather old) HiFi. I am connected to my WiFi and music is stored on my deskotp PC.
I have a problem though. For no apparent reason, I suddenly cannot log on with my MPD client or onto the WebGUI. I can still access the pi via SSH so the wireless is not the problem. Any suggestions. May be something obvious – I’m not that tech savvie! Could it be anything to do with using several MPD clients at once (phone, tablet, laptop all have clients)?

Ogg Vorbis is not listed among the supported formats. I assume it is supported, or am I wrong?

Thanks for the update! Does the ramplay fix address not being able to play files from the sd card?
David

hi there, really nice release, thanks for all the hard work.
do you think if a good async dac with external PSU is connected, would the kernel modes makes any difference? i can understand if the DAC is being fed noisy USB power that would be the case or does this setting still affect DACs isolated from the pi’s power output?

David

Firstly congratulations on an excellent project! I have followed with interest.

Does anyone else use a HiFimeDIY Sabre U2 Asynchronous USB DAC? I’m getting some stuttering every few seconds. Weirdly it works OK in Picoreplayer though unless left for hours.
- Steril
  
  I just ordered one. I will keep you posted when it´s arrived.
- Hans
  
  I just got mine. It requires 250mA on the USB bus – so I took a 1200 mA power supply, a passive USB hub and connected the hub to the raspberry and the U2 Asynchronous USB DAC to the Hub – booted RaspyFi – and it works like a charm. Great sound, no jitter.
  Just a guess: May be the USB host controller on the raspberry is programmed in a way, that it does not like USB devices asking for 250mA. But if you hide the 250mA behind a – passive or active – hub, it works just great. Async Version should be avialable soon in Germany as well according to Stereo here: muc89.com

Congrats on some excellent design work
and programming. I don’t have a Rpi, so I extracted the relevant
stuff from the iso to test the WEBUI on my PC running a debian
desktop. To be honest, I know little about nginx, php5 etc. but
after a little detective work and some trail and error I have a
working WEBUI and can at least test the generic functions of browse,
playback and playlist on my working MPD install.

I’d recently tried the MPD clients
client174 and rompr, both had their problems and from a visual and
functional viewpoint I much prefer the clarity of the raspyfi WEBUI.
The only mobile device I have in the home is a kindle 4 non-touch
which has an “experimental browser”. The WEBUI works
surprisingly well on kindle 4 non-touch with its limited browser.
The only obvious issue, apart from speed, is all that controls
symbols appear as question marks in little boxes, although when
pressed they do function (a font issue?).

At last there is a decent MPD web client buried in the raspyfi distro that can start to rival things like Mpad and MPDroid.

I’m looking forward to the tsunamp ports to other platforms and wonder if you’d consider creating aeither a generic 32/64bit tsunmap iso targeted at a PC, or
self-contained package for the WEBGUI alone to run on a Linux
PC/laptop where MPD is already installed, a bit like the method used
for the rompr web client. For the later, I think you’d basically only need
everything that exist under /var/ww/ and a set of appropriate nginx config
files.

I really hope this is the start of great things for your project.

  Thank you very much for your appreciation! This is only the beginning, future release of the PlayerUI will show many improvements in design and usability.
  About the question marks, I confirm it’s a font problem (all icons are rendered through Font Awesome font). It could be a path problem (check your browser console for errors) or a browser bad support (I experienced the same problem in an old version of Opera).

Any chance we could get a password on it so if we set it up in a public place or had a big party only people we wanted could control it?
Also, hardware button controls. I /was/ going to build a bose soundlink mini into an old Crosley AM radio case, but now I’d rather throw a RaspyFI system in there with a fancy DAC and some nice full range speakers, but I’d need some kind of code for input. As it is, I’m going to use an Arduino to make the two knobs that already exist work to control the beast, but I’m not sure how to make that happen without hardware commands already in place on the raspberry. It’d be awesome if the GPIO pins could be put to good use.
And last, but not least, would there be a way to use said hardware controls for picking out a wireless network/entering the password? If I say took it outside my house to show it off at a friend’s party, I wouldn’t want to take the time to open the Crosley casing up just to set it up on the wifi, specially if it’s an open wifi network. I’m thinking along the lines of it reading out the wifi networks it picks up in the area and scrolling through characters of the password till you find the right one and locking it in. Or much quicker, but possibly harder to implement, it could be an access point that allows you to log in on a phone and configure it from there, which would honestly be preferred.
Anywho, you guys are doing an awesome job on this and it looks beautiful, thank you so much for all the hard work!
- mikelangeloz
  
  We are currently thinking on a party mode, but to be honest is in the bottom part of our priority list…
  
  You can use the gpio with python to have an easy input solution.
  
  For the AP, you can use hostapd:
  
  http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-setting-wireless-access-point/
  
  We cannnot set it up right now, because you have to configure it with your specific wi-fi dongle. As for the easy wi-fi setup, it’s not easy to implement, so expect this very later on.
  Thanks for your congrats!
  - http://WakeArray.com Wake Array
    
    Awesome, thanks for the quick response, these solutions should work. If I can get it working as an access point I should be able to connect and SSH in so that can set up a new wifi to connect to. And good news on the party mode. ^_^

Hi, love this new release,control via the WEBUI is awesome. However I am getting a crash when i try to update datebase. and on normal use only a limited number of albums come in. my full library is not visable. any ideas?

Is it possible to re-enable logging? I need it for a particular application but not sure how to do this?
- mikelangeloz
  
  Add
  log_file “~/.mpd/log”
  
  to mpd.conf
  
  or do
  
  sudo /etc/init.d/mpd stop
  
  sudo mpd -v
  
  which means verbose, you’ll see an onscreen log

WebServer for CoverArt Delivery, i want to use this feature but how can i configure this?
john

Congrats on the release!
One thing though, I couldn’t find any documentation on the kernel profile switching feature- what exactly do these various presets do if the audio stays bit-perfect regardless?
- mikelangeloz
  
  Hi John, these values change some parameters related on how the Kernel behaves, taking the files from the sources and then sending to the DAC. Since in different setups lot of things may vary (like ethernet latency, USB latency etc) these parameters do only change a little the “timing” of the audio stream, so the difference you may hear are due to jitter variation (or the coherence in the time domain of the audio signal). So, is this bit perfect? Yes. But as you can see, there are other vaules involved, based on your specific configuration, setting these parameters could result in less or more jitter because of your specific setup.
  - John
    
    I wonder if someone could conduct tests to see just how much jitter the raspberry pi puts out with raspyfi and an async DAC by default.. perhaps this little computer board isn’t the perfect player after all.. will have to check out the beagleboard..
    thanks for the quick response, much appreciated.
    - mikelangeloz
      
      for the beagleboard, stay tuned!

Is it possible to implement this build with wireless in Access Point mode? I don’t need online radio, but I would like to try and get good quality AirPlay and the web interface working if possible. Trying to build a Boombox.
- matt
  
  i would like to know this aswell
  - mikelangeloz
    
    Yes it possible, the only thing is that we have to previously define which wi-fi adapter is gonna be used, so we can support only wi-fi dongle… I’m currently studying the best solution…

I have a Schiit Modi and using with my raspy 1.0. It’s working great. One question I have is it seems a little on the quiet side. I have my amp maxed and it would be great if was a little louder. I haven’t tried any other device on my DAC, but that might be a good baseline. Anything on the raspy where I can set the base volume or anything like that? Many thanks.

When I listen music from USB or Internet radio via USB DAC sound is clean, but when I listen via AirPlay I’m hearing every few second click on the speakers. How can I fix this?
- mikelangeloz
  
  Could be that you’re far and wireless transfer range decreases… Try to come closer to your wi-fi source. And also wait for the db to finish updating, if it is

THANKS for your hard work, I finally go Raspyfi 1.0 final installed and webradio Works fine with my noname cheap ebay-DAC, but I am having some serious issues with mounting my NAS… I’m not really sure what I am doing wong and I don’t really know how to troubleshoot (I’m not really a Linux Expert)..

In Windows, the sharename my music is located at is \192.168.1.120music … I am then asked for user/pass which is admin and a password…

When I save this configuration, I get a message that the DB is updating, but I never get anything but a red cross on the NAS Mounts list and the Mount never appears in the browser…

I have also tried to set the source name to a sub-folder (e.g. musicAerosmith) but with no luck..
- Olle
  
  Sounds like my problem, please tell me if you find a solution for this. It works fine to access the shares from a windows machine…

Looking forward to testing this! But my Pi will not boot with this image. I recently had a similar problem that it would not boot the Squeezeplug 6.0 image due to this: http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/3534

Could I possibly have the same problem with your image due to the same issue or do you think these problems are unrelated?

  No I think you got the point.

Has someone succesfully mounted a samba share with FreeNAS? On Raspyfi Rc2 I successfully did, but then I had to reinstall FreeNAS and since then I can´t mount the share in Raspyfi. I´m configuring like this http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Windows_%28CIFS%29_Shares#Configuring_Local_User_Access
Please help! I really want to use this now that the 1.0 is out!

  I suggest you to use openmediavault…
  - Olle
    
    I am really happy about Freenas other than this, and have other systems connected to it. I know that it is supposed to work, so there should be no need to move to openmediavault. That´s a too big step for me.
    - mikelangeloz
      
      Ok, but now it doesn’t mount anymore ? Have you tried the webui nas configuration?
      I’m pretty sure it will work with no issues!
      - Olle
        
        Yes I have, I´ve configured it like this (and it shows a red cross in the shares list instead of a nice green symbol)
      - mikelangeloz
        
        It’s a small bug, the green cross should appear if you save, and then you go to browse, and then come back to the nas configuration page. Let me know
      - mikelangeloz
        
        No, wait!!!
        You don’t have to put mnt/NAS etc

Ciao Michelangelo,

thanks for your efforts to build Raspyfi. Rpi + Raspyfi is the perfect setup I was waiting for. For me it runs without any issues with a HifimeDIY Sabre DAC.

I was wondering is it possible to combine Raspyfi and Raspbmc (or any XBMC distro) to get a killer combo for audiophile listening and watching movies?

I tried to install mpd and modify settings on Raspbmc according to your RC2 guide without success. (I’m a linux newbie.)
- mikelangeloz
  
  It could theoretically be possible… But having too much processes running in the background is not an optimal choice…
  To achieve what you are looking for we could think on a dual booting Distro… I could contact XMBC devs and look for a solution… But you would need to wait a while for that…
  - zoli
    
    Thank you.
    
    You mean too much processes degrade sound quality?
    
    Until a solution I need to change SD cards Berryboot would be ok for dual booting but it mess up the updates.
    - mikelangeloz
      
      Not only… I’ll cover it in a future article

Without wicd-curses,wifi setup had to be manually edited in /etc/network/interfaces.
Quiet easy, after wifi is sat up. Enjoy the convenience of webui.

But I wonder why the pulse plugin is not built-in ?? Is there any consideration ?
- mikelangeloz
  
  Pulse has been removed because just his presence somehow interacts with the alsa stack, and deteriorates audio performances…
  Furthermore is not needed…
Roland

Thanks for this, webui look nice but I cannot get this to work using wireless. Used to be easy enough using wicd-curses but seems no longer an option, I also have a static ip assigned for wireless, which wont be picked up at boot so cannot set it up in webui as no option to do so.. little dissapointed Am using edimax micro usb, doesnt even seem to flash?. I also used to play music from the 32gb SD card raspyfi was installed on (a seperate ext4 partition just for music) and cannot add this using webui also. Can anyone help?
- mikelangeloz
  
  It should work, since firmware-ralink is installed, try to set up your wireless parameters, then reboot…

Pretty interface, much easyer configuration, same excellent sound. Love the AirPlay feature! Thank You Very Much! It seems that playlists don’t work but maybe it’s my fault ’cause with GMPC it’s all ok.
Can You tell me how to change the AirPlay name (so I can customize how Raspyfi appears in Itunes)? Hostname seems not effective (is effective on the network name – very very useful the network share webradio). Again thank You very much for this (and the previous, and the futures) release.
- mikelangeloz
  
  The webui currently doesn’t have playlist support… We’ll add it in the future!
  And, btw thanks for congrats… They make me really happy

    Thank You Michelangelo: playlist support is not such an issue, I can wait. About the AirPlay name I have found it in /etc/init.d/shairport. Changed, tryed, works!

      Well done! We could add this as a configurable option in next release…

Brilliant interface and great sound. Could you explain further how to add other radio stations though? I wanted to use the BBC channels but didn’t follow the explanation above. Can you expand for a non-technical user to understand. Thanks.
- mikelangeloz
  
  Yes:
  
  -Find the url of the station you want to listen to, then create an empty file with notepad. Paste the url of your station in the file, and save it as BBC2.pls
  
  -Go to computer, network -> RaspyFi
  
  -Paste the above created file in the WebRadio Folder
  
  Then add your Radio in this thread:
  
  http://www.raspyfi.com/forum/wish-list/webradios-stations-i-want-to-find-in-next-release/#p812
  
  So you’ll find it included in next release
  - Nick
    
    Still struggling I’m afraid. Seem to be able to create file and upload it but it doesn’t play. Just to check: Notepad. New document. Paste ‘http://bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r6.asx’ as text
    Save as 6Music.pls All files?, ANSI? Does it matter if it’s a WMA stream or RealRadio??
    - mikelangeloz
      
      I think this format is not supported as of now,try to find a shoutcast stream… I’ll investigate it !
      - Nick
        
        I can’t find any BBC channels as shoutcast streams. It would be great if you could further develop the functionality of the web radio so that these work.
      - mikelangeloz
        
        I will do indeed. I’ll give a look at the station you requested…
      - William

Hmm…When I use this version or the previous beta version with a zero DAC or ATC DAC I get constant (1-2 times/sec)popping or skipping like sound on NAS 44.1 playback. However the original version of Raspyfi, works fine with no audio disturbance.
I have tried a couple of alternate kernel profiles as well as buffer size but get the same result.
Any ideas on why the original version works fine?

  Which version were you using before? Try to set
  buffer before play to zero

    Hi Mike. This morning database is fully updated but still getting skipping/popping sound. I set buffer to disabled but same fault and no difference in itensity. The popping is less intense than while the database was updating.
    
    Original – Raspyfirc2.rar – works fine even while database updating.
    
    Beta – raspyfi.10betatest.rar – popping fault.
    
    New – RaspyFi1.0.zip – popping fault with database updating or not.
    
    Cheers

      Hi Andy, which DAC are you using?
      With which files does the problem appear?
      Try to set different kernel parameters and let me know

        Hi Mike
        Files tried are FLAC/44.1/16bit & WAV 44.1/16bit
        DAC’s are:
        1) ATC SAICD (New integrated with woolfsen DAC’s from ATC Speakers, we are the NZ Agent)
        2) Zero DAC
        Tried all Kernels with same results.
        Confirm USB FLAC files play fine now with database update idle.
        
        Popping is less now the database update is idle but still happens every second or so.
        
        Also noted the database update yesterday was much slower than the original RaspyFi version (RC2).
        
        Cheers

        I have returned to the original RC1 and all working fine now. No
        popping whilst the database is updating either and I noticed SSH login
        is very snappy. With latest vs1.0 it is very sluggish. This along with
        the popping tends to suggest the system is getting slowed down by a
        process of some sort in the new version.

        I have exactly the same with flac and wav files. and also login ssh is very slow. hope you guys can fix this because you have really made something beautiful.
