Why not have the network timing protocol turned on by default? Especially if it is helpful for running LMS or using a clock feature. Those that want to turn it off for some reason could override the default setting. Paul

Nice feature. I recommended spelling out NTPD for those that don't know the abbreviation. Adding "recommended when running LMS so it has accurate time" would also be helpful. Paul P Nelson's Profile:

I reported this same issue several months ago and I could not figure out the resolution of the permission to delete the image file. My solution was also to remove the drive from the pi, connect to windows machine, and delete it. Unless space is an issue you can keep a chronological history

I recently updated my router and I wanted to use http://picorelms.local to get to picoreplayer version 8 from my Windows 10 laptop, using Edge. All I get is a blank page. The icon on the tab changes to include the pCP logo so it is doing something. Connecting using the ip address works fine.

My low-tech solution to delete the extra SD Card backup files was to shut down the Pi, remove the USB hard drive, and connect it to my Windows 10 machine. No problem deleting the files. My guess, which is probably not quite right, is the "Create File Mode" code 0775 that is mentioned in the
