Thank you! Adding the

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d

line between the Begin-Custom and End-Custom lines in config.txt worked
for me.
(I also commented out the line that says "gpu_mem=16" but didn't test it
uncommented).
However Squeezelite then stopped working, but I just worked my way down
the list of suggested output devices until I found one that worked
(iec958) - a really helpful feature!

Thanks again

I have just burned v 8.0.0 pCP to a 4gb sd card in a Transend USB3 card
reader using Balena-Etcher

Stuck it in a rpt3+ (in the usb3 socket) left the sd card slot empty.

Connected it up (with attatched monitor to watch the boot)

There did not seem to be any major delay, everything booted as normal.

Maybe try a reburn of the Image

ronnie

or a usb stick as paul- suggests

You have to add a few seconds to the value of waitusb=xx in the file
cmdline.txt

The reason..the rpi bootloader loads the files on the boot
partition, but you need to give linux a little bit of time to recognize
the USB stick before it tries to boot with it.

It's a 3B+ 

I have tried sticking the SD in the card reader in a USB port, but it
does not boot up. I'm only pCP on this device, not LMS. So I don't think
that necessitates a USB thumb drive, as little is written to the SD
card.

Not too bothered about a few extra seconds boot time ;)

I have tested this:

My system: RasPi Model 3B, Official 7'' screen, external USB HDD for
music library, pCP 6.1 (until now), HDMI audio out to Marantz SR 6013
receiver.

In-situ-updated to pCP 7.0. Squeezelite did not start (as known). Did
the changes to config.txt --> works!
In-situ-updated to pCP 8.0. Squeezelite started, changes in config.txt
were still there (even the commented "gpu_mem="). Had to change
audio out once to "none" and then back to "HDMI audio" --> works!

Thanks for the great work!

It's actually more stable than it looks if you tighten the side screws

Generally a good idea, but the lms is running on another host and the

You can run squeezelite on Raspberry Pi OS, too. That's the component 
dealing with the playback. You're not limited to piCorePlayer.

Hi,
Thank you for this wonderful software. I've a pi zero that runs
squeezelite and jivelite outputting audio and picture to a TV over HDMI.
This has been working on picoreplayer 5.0, but I can't get Jivelite
working on picoreplayer 8.0 (squeezelite is working well). I see the
boot sequence text on the screen, then the piCorePlayer Squeeze Audio
Device splash screen, then it goes blank.

This has been a fresh install on 2 different SD cards. I've tried both
leaving the Jivelite size at the defaults (0) and setting it to1920 x
1080. I've left the frame buffer, frame rate and frame depth at their
defaults (/dev/fb0, blank and blank). Any ideas what could be wrong?

Don't think so. Both USB sticks and memory cards are originally designed
for occasional writes, e.g. for backups, manual transport of files
between isolated systems, storing photos on a camera. Since in
particular micro SD cards are now also used for video devices such as
dashcams you are much more likely to find an SD card that will sustain a
lot more writes than in the original use case, at a raised price of
course. AFAIK no such need exists for USB sticks and with only a few
people wanting to pay extra for it they would be very expensive indeed.

@LENCOTH

or get one of these

https://thepihut.com/products/micro-sd-to-sd-extension-cable

as @carsten_h , here is a short instruction

https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-boot-from-usb/

and a more detailed explanation can be found here

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html

Some people put a blank formated SD in the raspberry pi slot as this
will help with a quicker return when the pi polls for a sd card.

Also, a card reader will, or should work, as you intend but a proper usb
stick might server better in the long term, in my opinion :)

Pi with PiCore Player delivering the sound via I2C could be the basis
for a DIY hifi component,
and a web server which is controlling other things of the Hifi
Component.

Maybe its generally a better idea to go with a smaler httpd solution

is there any chance for an apache2 - php 7 extension?
pCP was designed to do one task, and do it easily. Ok, it does more 
today. But it's not a general purpose OS. I'd say you better use 
Raspberry Pi OS if you need a full fledged web server.
