These involve the FLIRC adapter I use, how to sent a Wake-On-LAN command from piCorePlayer so my LMS server powers up, issues with JiveLite and their solutions and tinkering with other VU meter skins. I already posted these solutions in other threads, but I can post them here as well if there is interest. I am no Linux wizard so most of it was trial and error and a bit of Google :D kolossos4730's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63988 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104628 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I thought about the Audophonics kit, which represents decent value for money in my opinion, but decided against it and went for a piCorePlayer/Official 7" display/Jivelite solution. The OLED display is too small to be readable from a distance of a few meters. kolossos4730's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63988 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104628 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

@kolossos4730 all information is welcome. But to be honest, I doubt I
will end up with a 5" or 7" touch screen. A nice case and a good power
supply for the RPi is more likely. Let's say, more of the AudioPhonics

I can't promise anything right now but I'm sure it's something I can tackle...soonish, if not immediately.

Re: [slim] Building the best Pi LMS Player
I've located the original files for the vintage meters and the upshot is that it's going to be easier for me to build something from scratch than to scale those old files up. I'll do this, but please be patient with me. I'm very gratified that people are fond of those meters. The new ones will not be identical. They will be very similar and I hope you can trust me to make them better than the last ones. Some questions: I definitely want to replace the words "Squeezebox Touch" with something that's not product-specific. I'm open to suggestions. It wouldn't be too hard to make more than one version of text...and dark and light versions. I'd like to future proof these by making them easy to scale down from the largest likely display. What size should I shoot for, 10" displays? What are the pixel dimensions for that size? Lastly, and please understand that this is not intended as extortion because I will make the new version regardless. Is there anyone here that enjoys building these contraptions enough to make me one if I either pay for or purchase and provide the hardware? Seriously, only if someone enjoys making them... jstraw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104628 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
