I've got some issue's to get my piCorePlayer v6.0.0-b1 on a pi4x4 connected to a BT speaker ( clip3 ) As it is my first attempt, I am not sure I am not making any beginner mistakes here. So please hint me in the right direction. The set ( pi and speaker ) have worked before in Raspbian Buster,

A heads-up for anyone who uses a push button to toggle their pCP on and off: there's another new feature in the RPi 4B. The halt command apparently puts the device into a very low power state, from which it can no longer be woken by grounding GPIO3. One of my front panel buttons is dedicated

Thanks Paul - that seems to have done it. I'm sure I went through that permutation earlier. I haven't yet tried adding the MAC address and IP address flags, but the basic command is working from the script file now at least.

drop the verbose output on the command line, unless you are specifcially debugging. Just put the line into a file. Make sure you set the executable flag (chmod 755 name-of-scriptfile)User commands get ran as root, so no need to use sudo. It's also good practice to put the required
