Hi, I am trying to set up a Mopidy Raspberry Pi B v2 with HifiBerry DAC and Touchscreen (Adafruit). So far, I already had almost everything working individually, but nothing at the same time. With support from “9and3r” I got his excellent Mopidy-Touchscreen extension running - so this is now perfe…

PS - sounded similar to this issue – but I checked and I am not trying to run multiple instances or sounds at the same time. GStreamer grabs alsa device exclusively opened 09:53PM - 08 Nov 14 UTC (UTC) closed 08…

PPS.: Issue also sounded a bit like the following, but adding user root to group “music” did not fix my problem. [image] Playback issue on Raspberry Pi Pi MusicBox Using alsasink gave me an annoying continuous beep, and the following output: $ gst-launch-0.10 audiotestsrc…

PPPS.: tried running it again as user “mopidy”, part of group “audio” - still having the same error messages. Therefore can’t be related to user “root” running mopidy I believe. Any ideas? Before I start reinstalling it yet again, it would be great to have some other ideas I could try out - yet m…

Managed to get it translated into English - had initially set the locales into German. Here the Logfile - portion I believe is relevant: pygst gstbuffer.override:69:_wrap_gst_buffer_new:^[[00m pyo:0x2e0c050 pyr:1 minio:0xae42b090 minir:1 alsa pcm_hw.c:1293:snd_pcm_hw_open:^[[00m alsal…

Closed / solved for now. Thanks, 9and3r! [image] Anyone use the Mopidy Touchscreen Front end? Pi MusicBox 9and3r - I love you man! Solved the riddle again for me. Days of work and trying around - finally done. added SDL_variables in your plugin, same place as the others:…

Looks like the problem was that SDL/PyGame was also grabbing the audio device, and with the asound config you were using it wasn’t possible for multiple processes to open it at the same time. As shown by the Audio-GerÃ¤t konnte nicht zur Wiedergabe geÃ¶ffnet werden. Es wird durch eine andere Anwendu…
