Just to add some general information: 1. /home/tc/ is saved if you do a backup from the web interface or $ pcp bu. But it is very bad to add a large amount of files here, it will slow booting dramatically (to the point of failure) and increase the chance of SD corruption. 2. Writing files to /mnt/mmcblk0p2 is permanent until you overwrite. regards Greg Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106833 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Store files permanently on piCorePlayer
If you have a lot of files I would suggest a powered USB hard drive . Takes a bit more shelf space bu then you can load terabytes of files .

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Store files permanently on piCorePlayer
Everything that Jeff mentioned is on the pCP web Interface, look at the LMS page. Mounting the USB Drive Setting the LMS Cache to the USB Drive And even installing Samba so you can add files to that USB drive remotely. paul-'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58858 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106833 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Ok, that one is a bit more difficult but also a very clean solution! I think I'll go for the USB stick in the first place and maybe set up this solution if everything works as expected. Thank you both for these good (and unexpected quick) answers!

Best Option is what Jeff said, but If you really must store on the SD card, the best way would be to create a 3rd partition. >From a fresh image, only expand the main pCP partion (mmcblk0p2) to about 200MB, then create a 3rd partition on the SDcard to use the rest of the space. Make the partition formatted ext4. You will have to manually mount the partition in bootlocal.sh, mount it before the pcp startup. paul-'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58858 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106833 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Either plug in a USB HDD or a USB stick and use that for music storage.

Have been too busy to sort things out yet. Pops or clicks only happen when players are synchronised, not only with highres, but also on standard resolution. Are players are on a 1Gbit network.
