Insert a USB stick,  
On the web interface main menu, save your config to the USB.  
Power Down
Insert new SDcard with pCP3.20
Power up.

Wifi should get setup automatically..you will need to reconfigure
your sound though.

Thanks, Paul!  I do have access to the SD card, but in order to activate
the RPi WiFi with the new version I would need to first hardwire it to
my desktop computer, no?  IIRC, it was somewhat difficult to get the
WiFi network recognized by the pCP scan the first time round.

It really depends on what hardware you have.  Unless you need the
hardware support that comes with the new kernel.  Staying with the old
version is fine.  Just be aware that the dev team always lives in the
latest version.  Supporting old versions gets difficult for us, as we
don't run those versions.

If you have easy access to the SD card.  Flashing a new card and
swapping it is always the safest.   If you encounter a problem, you can
easily revert.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce piCorePlayer 3.20

2017-05-23 Thread merlinus

I am wondering if it is worth upgrading to 3.20, and if so, would it be
best to flash a new SD card, or try the insitu upgrade using the
instructions on the first page of this thread.

I am aware that since I am using WiFi I would need to upgrade to the
regular 3.20 version, not the audio one.

Thanks!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 2.00

2017-05-23 Thread jtudor

Hi Sergiu

Unfortunately this method doesn't work for me.

The standard startup file is running this command:

/usr/local/sbin/shairport-sync -a Squeeze2 -o alsa -S soxr -d -D -R --
-d hw:CARD=sndrpihifiberry -c Digital

But the command I actually want it to run is:

/usr/local/sbin/shairport-sync -a Squeeze2 -o alsa -S soxr -d -D -R --
-d hw:CARD=sndrpihifiberry

So even if I change the mixer_control_name variable in the config file
to something else (a null value, in this case), the hardcoded command
line parameters are over-riding the config file - which is something you
mention in your mail.

Any ideas if I can over-ride or change the command line parameters?

Cheers
Jamie

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] picoreplayer 3.11 +waveshare 3.5 TFT + jivelite + Raspberry Pi 2B+

2017-05-23 Thread nowhinjing

I am pleased to confirm that I have managed to get this all working for
piCorePlayer 3.20 and have modified and simplified the instructions.

One caveat, jivelite has been extensively re-modelled and now no longer
includes WQVGAsmallSkin, so I have retro-fitted it into my instructions
along with my custom Wav35Skin - BUT wallpapers are not working and I
don't have time to delve into it now.

Hope this helps somebody ...

NWJ

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Cirrus Logic Audio Card and Wolfson support in PCP 3.20

2017-05-23 Thread petar

Great stuff M-H. Would be good if this could somehow become part of
PiCorePlayer, to allow for really simple configuration.

Thanks!!!
