As long as LMS is not running on that device. Just pull the power then, Completely safe to do.The only time anything is written to the SD card is when you make a change in the web interface, requiring a backup to be done. piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.

Hello, I found the solution myself. The pikeyd service could not be started because the kernel module /dev/uinput in pcp6 is not started. The solution was to enter the "modprobe uinput" command in the /opt/bootlocal.sh file before pikeyd was started. Here are my installation steps for "Slimmer"

If you are running pCP as a player only then simply cutting the power should not cause a problem because pCP runs everything in memory and only writes out to storage when you ask it to (e.g. making a configuration change). However, it is unlikely that you would be using SSD in that configuration
