Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite for piCorePlayer
Is there any chance that the "Repeat" and "Shuffle" Icons can be added to you "Large artwork" now playing screen savers ? You can select what buttons to see in the Settings. Or some simple indication that they are on would be enough so when I accidentally touch a button on my remote I do not have to go back through the menus in order to turn them off. Hmm... good idea. I'll try to figure something out. Maybe just a two Dots (one for Shuffle one for repeat) somewhere so we can see that either is on in some form ? The Touch skin would show the current state as you hit those buttons on the remote. So the code clearly is there. I only have to figure out how to make this happen. -- Michael ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Hi epoch1970. This is great news, thank you very much for your hard work and for the detailed documentation of the steps. So I will have to try this out and let us see if there is a demand for this method then it might slip into pCP. Regarding disabling the webGUI I agree that after you have set up your pCP you usually can forget about it as you don't need to change anything.

I'd be happy to make the change in git but have you confirmed that
crossfade still works as expected?
I have updated output.c with your change last year and after many
reports of crossfade no longer working, I reverted it.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Netbooting piCorePlayer 3.x
(Summarized from posts in 'the pCP 3.10 announce/support thread.'
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?106755-Announce-piCorePlayer-3-10=880106#post880106))
A seemingly operational pCP player can be obtained via 'net booting, a
Pi 3 feature only'
(https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/bootmodes/net.md):
- Take a linux server with disk space, install a tftp server to
support Pi 3 net booting. I chose dnsmasq, the conf for the tftp
server is extremely simple. "server=172.17.0.2" is the DNS/DHCP server
on that network. There is no interference between the 2 machines:
Code:
server=172.17.0.2
dhcp-range=172.17.255.255,proxy
log-dhcp
enable-tftp
tftp-root=/tftp
pxe-service=0,"Raspberry Pi Boot"
The tftp tree structure is like this. 12345abc and abcde123 represent
the serial number of 2 different Pi 3s. bootcode.bin has to be placed
directly under the tftp root:
Code:
/tftp/
12345abc
bcm2708-rpi-0-w.dtb
...
start_x.elf
abcde123
Pls_bind_to_nfs_exported_boot_directory
bootcode.bin
The contents of the "12345abc" directory is the same as the first
partition on a pCP image, with a custom cmdline.txt.
- On that server, setup exports to provide the player with its data
partition(s). The main export is the home of pCP, copied from the
second partition of a pCP image. There is need for a secondary export,
since pCP offers changing boot parameters and loading hardware
firmware ("overlays") from the GUI. There has to be an automatic link
between that export and the directory served by tftp in order for pCP
to be able to reboot into new settings.
As of now I am using a single NFS export on the server.
Code:
/export 172.17.0.0/16(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)
Here is the tree:
Code:
/export/
12345abc
BOOT
bcm2708-rpi-0-w.dtb
...
start_x.elf
TCE
tce
mydata.tgz
...
abcde123
...
To link the /tftp directory with the updatable (exported) BOOT
directory, I've chosen to setup a bind mount (e.g. "mount -o bind
/export/12345abc/BOOT/ /tftp/12345abc"). The pCP machine reboots in
new settings like on the regular SD-based version.
- On the pCP instance, setup a custom /opt/bootlocal.sh script and
save it ("pcp bu"):
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# put other system startup commands here
GREEN="$(echo -e '\033[1;32m')"
echo
echo "${GREEN}Running bootlocal.sh..."

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.20 Beta
Thanks for the update! Installation went smoothly (after some RTFM moments wrt. wireless setup...). The only peculiarity I'd mention is the refresh duration being too short after some actions. Eg. when I tried to install jivelite, I obviously had to expand the filesystem. After doing so the web UI would try to automatically refresh the page after 30(?) seconds. On my Pi2 with wlan only this wasn't long enough, resulting in an error page. The same happened after the jivelite installation (refresh=5). I think those values can be a bit more generous, as there's a "click here to refresh" button anyway on that page. Nice job!
