Quick and Dirty WiFi-Ethernet Bridge - Arch Linux - ASUS Router and Apple Airport Extreme

I have a bunch of ethernet only gadgets in the Home Theater rack including the Emotiva XMC, my Tatasky Set Top Box and a couple of other knick knacks. The HT rack is across the room from my router (ASUS RT-AC68U) and the only way to connect up these machines to the network was to run an ethernet cable from the router across to the rack and then use the airport extreme to connect up all the doodahs to wifi. I wanted to originally use the Airport Extreme to extend the wifi network but being an Apple device, it refused to work with the ASUS router. Tried WDS and an old version of the airport utility to see if I could hack that set up but no joy. Then I realised that the HTPC has both a wired and wifi connection. So I hooked up the wired connection to the airport extreme's "wan/uplink" port. Now we need to set up the HTPC box (running Arch Linux) to "bridge" the wifi and ethernet connections. We could use the bridge-utils tools to do this but I thought it was...

Android File Transfer and Samsung SmartSwitch Conflict

Had some issues getting Android File transfer to work on my Mac with the Galaxy S7. Fixed it by unloading the Samsung drivers. Here are the quick steps to unload the Samsung modules. $sudo kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungMTP $sudo kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungComposite $ sudo kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungACMControl $ sudo kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungACMData $ kextstat |grep -i samsung The last command should not return any results. Start the Android File Transfer app again and you should be in business.

HTPC Experiments - Part 3

I could a tale unfold whose lightest word Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood, Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres, Thy knotted and combinèd locks to part And each particular hair to stand on end, Like quills upon the fearful porpentine  -Hamlet, William Shakespeare That tale has nothing on getting Arch + MPD + DSD playback working. Rather than bore you with the details and frustration of the many false starts and shimmying up wrong trees, let me quickly give you the config that works for me. You can get a little more context from reading parts 1 and 2 of HTPC experiments. Since the stock mpd in the pacman Arch repos wasn't honoring DSD related settings in the configuration file, I had to compile mpd from source and patch it with a DSD patch. As of this writing, I don't know if the patch has been merged. If you use pacman to get mpd (v 0.19), DSD playback does not work. The iFI micro IDSD card only gets PCM streams at either 41k or 48...
