As far as I know, there is no remote action to enter a menu item using
the grid skin. 

If you're in a list of say albums, there's no way to back out of that
list with a single button press, you need to continuously press the
up/back arrows until you get to the first item in the list, the next key
press gets you back a step.

I'd say the grid skin is only useful as a touch skin.

Hi, the "easiest" way I found to change the wallpaper is to unpack the
pcp-jivelite.tcz file and repack it.

This 'thread'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?116248-Custom-Joggler-HD-Skin-with-Controls-(Took-me-all-week))
is very useful especially this 'part'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?116248-Custom-Joggler-HD-Skin-with-Controls-(Took-me-all-week)=1058320=1#post1058320)

'Eyerex' (https://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?65695-Eyerex)
explain it very well. I advice you to watch the video.

Basically you use winscp to unpack then navigate and copy the files you
need in the correct folder (Setupwallpaper in your case) and repack the
file.
Then reboot your pi.
Choose the wallpaper you need and voila.

Maybe there is an easier solution but for now this is the only one
working for me.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 8.0.0

2022-11-10 Thread PompeyTone


Thanks all for suggestions. 

So today I completed LMS setup on the network at work (downloading &
installing CIFS interface libraries) and brought my Pi home, mounted the
remote NAS disk and it all works perfectly. I set the Pi up with a
static IP address and re-addressed my other 'player' Pi. And now,
completely unexpectedly the piCorePLayer repositories are available. One
thing that may have solved it was rebooting my router (which I did
because the DHCP wasn't doing what it was told initially), which it
appears I haven't done for 132 days. I guess 'have you tried switching
it off and back on again' still remains good advice.

Next project - set up the same system with Docker (although am going to
use another Pi borrowed from work, I'm happy with my LMS and hope to not
have to touch it for a while).

Many thanks all, Tony

Nativefier (github.com/nativefier/nativefier) is a little open source
program which allows you to turn any website/URL into an app with native
integration. It uses Electron/Chromium and provides many options. It's
easy to use.
WebCatalog (webcatalog.io) is even easier to use and utilises the same
software but is not entirely free. However it does provide additional
features such as per-app settings pages, 'spaces' for groups of apps,
loading extensions from a chromium browser on the same machine etc, even
on the free tier which is limited to 10 apps.
There are other similar options out there.

Albumcovers should already be shown. I recommend using the Joggler Grid

And with the MusicArtistInfo plugin you can have artist pictures, too.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Backup piCorePlayer without removing SD card

2022-11-10 Thread agburnsky


I realize that this is not directly related to your question, but have
you considered adding an SD micro card extender in your pi case.  I had
the same issue with not having access to my sd card.  After having to
dismantle the case a couple of times when it became necessary to swap
out an sd card, I modified my case to allow access using a UCTRONICS
Micro SD to Micro SD Card Male to Female Flexible Extender. I just cut a
small hole in the case and secured the extender with screws so that it
protruded out a fraction.  It may not be an option with your pi
enclosure, but maybe something to consider.  Note, I tried a couple of
extenders that didn't work consistently, but the Uctronics extender is
part of their rack systems and is dependable.

Good luck

Anthony
