Thanks Paul but I did not explain myself well. I would like to control the picoreplayer (play/pause,next,...) and to get metadata output via UART. Of course Paul, I'm fully aware about HW interfacing (3,3V/12V, MAX232...). I'm totally new about Linux, but no problem about HW ! I founded this thread about connecting an HD44780 LCD display to show metadatas. if we could redirect the datas into the UART instead of LCD... https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?101269-piCorePlayer-%A32-LCD Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PaulH's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=72449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115760 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
