Setup with no display

  • Plug in the ethernet cable and pull out the power plug.
  • Do a factory reset. Point the remote at the display while pressing the ADD ("+") button. Plug in the power plug and count to 7, then release the ADD button on the remote.
  • Welcome to Squeezebox. Wait 15 seconds and it will push right by itself.
  • Language selection. Press right-arrow to select English.
  • Set up networking. Press right-arrow.
  • Choose wireless or ethernet. Press down-arrow once, then right-arrow for ethernet.
  • IP address. Press right-arrow to choose DHCP.
  • Wait 30 seconds. Press right-arrow to select your SqueezeCenter server that (hopefully) it will have found.


The timing isn't really critical. For the factory setup you have to hold the button pressed for (I'm guessing) at least 5 seconds, but if you hold it too long you end up forcing another factory reset after it reboots. The 15 seconds just means wait at least 15 seconds. DHCP negotiation usually takes only a few seconds, but I've sometimes seen it take 10-20 seconds on my network.

Factory reset, right, right, down, right, right, right.

build your own

Make sure you have enough power if driving a touch screen and the pi or you get nasty pops

configure the screen

Edit the config.txt in the first partition add the lines for your touch device e.g.

 hdmi_group=2
 hdmi_mode=1
 hdmi_mode=87
 hdmi_cvt 1024 600 60 6 0 0 0


device

the black dac from ebay is PCM5122 and works as the iqaudio dac+

 dtoverlay=iqaudio-dacplus

calibrate touch screen

/usr/local/bin/ts_calibrate

make jivelite use the touch library and the right input

copy /opt/jivelite/bin/jivelite.sh to /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/jivelite.sh

edit and add after the first line the following:

   export SDL_MOUSEDEV=/dev/input/event0
   export SDL_MOUSEDRV=TSLIB


bluetooth audio input

not yet working

stopping squeezelight and running the following works:

   bluealsa-aplay -d plughw:CARD=sndrpijustboomd,DEV=0 00:00:00:00:00:00

using the following radio url doesn't work:

wavin:bluealsa:HCI=hci0,DEV=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,PROFILE=a2dp
