Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce piCorePlayer 3.20
I tried to test a PiZero 1.3 (non-wireless) with an ENC28j60 LAN module, but I can't get it to work with PiCorePlayer 3.22. It works nicely with Raspbian. The enc28j60.dtbo file exists in the overlays folder, and I added the line dtoverlay=enc28j60 to config.txt. For a normal Raspbian setup, that is sufficient. Any advice on how to make it work in PiCorePlayer? Do I need to add a .tcz file or add a modprobe setting?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce piCorePlayer 3.20
I'm not aware of an issue with alsa equal. We have had some issues with the insitu upgrade messing this up, which removing the equalizer, then reinstalling fixes. What is the output setting on the squeezelite page? it should be "equal" Also look at the Diagnostics | Sound page. What is the contents of "PLAYBACK Hardware Devices" and "Current /etc/asound.conf" paul-'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58858 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107352 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] bug in gerrelts squeezelite.sh
I'm not bothered by it, I was merely trying to avoid confusion about the pCP startup process. And how the MAC address is delivered to the LMS server. Your system must take over 20 seconds to get a valid Mac address. The mac address used by the LMS server does not come from any switching equip or the packet headers. Squeezelite detects hardware address (unless overridden with the -m) That address is broadcast to the LMS server. paul-'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58858 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108327 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] bug in gerrelts squeezelite.sh
For what it's worth, pCP does wait for the network to get a IP/Broadcast address before starting squeezelite. The timeout is set to 20 seconds. Take a look a the log (/var/log/pcp_boot.log) Code: Waiting for network... Done (11). Every dot between network and Done is 0.5seconds Squeezelite is what is picking up the interface address. For some reason that is failing on your system.

It can be done, the setup and configuration has to be done via ssh session. I've sent instructions to some via pm. The biggest problem is that not all wifi chips support it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Wireless access point on piCorePlayer?
I've been thinking about that too, I have the iphone but not the car :) I've found 'this thread' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?107995-picoreplayer-without-network/page4) about ad-hoc mode which is not too old and might be useful. Other than that, I haven't found a true AP recipe. I think I'll boot a pCP 3.20.2 and see how it rolls. I understand your use-case is the same as the linked thread, the Pi as an island, i.e. no network access at all. Of course to set it up etc network is needed so that will be something of a routed setup. A bridge would be neater though.

I am glad to report systemd is nowhere near in sight under Tiny Core. sysVinit triggers a chain of shell scripts that bring the machine up to order. Simple, sequential, and predictable. I for one am very happy with the way PCP works. I had this intriguing issue, I could find a probable cause, and solve it with 100% reliability via an easy config option.
