[SOLVED] link for older version?

[jmperagine]

I had the sxmplayer working, doesn't seem to work with the newer versions on a clean install. although, I installed it on V9.03 and then upgdated, it worked.

I assume you follow your updated HowTo thread in order to install sxm-player. What does "doesn't seem to work" mean specifically?

I should have been clearer with my problem. I get no sound from the IQ Audio Dac Pro. I know how to choose the audio device, works before the sxm-player install, no audio after the sxm-player install. But I had it working on 9.03, and then subsequently did a few updates, 9.04 then 9.05 and all was ok. BTW, I have one running 8.3.9 and it's stable as a rock.

So I installed sxm-player and signed up again for an account. This on a Pi 3B/USB DAC running moOde 9.0.8. Set up the systemd sxm-player.service and enabled it. Huh, the radio station I was listening to at the time went silent---still playing, apparently, but no audio out. It's as if the player is muted. That sounds <grin> like your problem.

I didn't see anything unusual in the moOde log (moodeutl -l) so I turned on moOde debug logging to see if that might reveal something. Didn't see anything useful and was futzing around when---hey presto chango---I was hearing the radio station again.

I then successfully listened to a SiriusXM channel for a while. (Debug logging turned off again.)

I then restarted the player and found myself back with silent audio and no amount of futzing around has got it back.

Bottom line---I don't know what enabling sxm-player as a service is doing that disrupts audio.

I'll have to poke around some more to try to find the root cause.

Thank you!
