Hi Jorg,

Thanks for the quick response. I initially tried to attach the debug output, but mailman bounced it back due to size. Even cut down to what should be relevant, it was still about 80k.

I think I have one of several problems. The package from Debian Wheezy (which the Raspbian distro is based on) seems to be version 3.0.0 which is not the latest.

It also seems that there is rapid advancement everyday in terms of driver support for the Raspberry Pi board and firmware updates. As of today with Raspbian fully up to date and the latest firmware from 8/7 and pytone's default config (except for me setting the database path) I still get the output I have attached.

I quick switch to using ALSA instead of OSS leads to this output:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pytone", line 165, in <module> playerids = [services.player.initplayer("main", config.player.main), File "/usr/lib/pytone/services/player.py", line 69, in initplayer raise RuntimeError("Cannot initialize %s player: type=internal, device=%s" % (id, config.device)) RuntimeError: Cannot initialize main player: type=internal, device=/dev/dsp

Well, there doesn't seem to be a /dev/dsp on the system. I am able to play .wav files using the aplay command, but obviously I am missing something lower level.

Is the board and its distros just too new? Is there another way for me to send you a the file? Here is a snippet of the output that seems pertinent (again this was running with OSS selected before I switched to ALSA):

Hi Robert,

Could you please try turning on debugging, e.g.,

    pytone -d debug.txt

and send the debugging output.

Best,

    Jörg

I just got a Raspberry Pi (raspberrypi.org) and tried to get pytone running under their version of Debian known as Raspbian. The package seems to install but the app won't launch even after editing the config file. Anyone else have any success getting pytone running on a Pi?
