I have a couple questions about some sections/items in do_rebootstuff.sh and some observations from playing with various settings in pCP. I'm hoping if I get a better understanding of what is happening, I can better diagnose my setup. If anybody has any insight on the following, I'd be

Thanks Michael, This was more of a case where I was oblivious than anything LMS related. I had moved my playlists from an old server to the RPI a little while ago and just noticed the duplicates. Normally I just hit a playlist so I never noticed the duplicate albums. I thought rolling back would

piplayer, Thanks. I'll take a look, but as you said, if fb1 doesn't get created, then there won't be a framebuffer to copy to. It looks like I'll need to make an extension out of the raspi2fb files to test it, so when I have a chance I'll play with it.

Answer to question 2 I think I can answer question 2. It looks like $A_S_LMS refers to the "Auto start LMS" setting in the tweaks page rather than the similarly named setting to Auto Start LMS itself on the LMS page. IOW, it is the setting to tell LMS what to play on power-up.

Eureka! Now that I found it, it's kind of a duh! The solution to getting the framebuffer to be created promptly is in the bootlocal.sh script. When jivelite was enabled, the modprobe settings were placed at the end of bootlocal.sh after the call to do_rebootstuff.sh, so since they aren't called

Hi there, New here. I usually just read this forum but I'm stuck with something I can't figure out. I've rebuilt a few retro single speaker radios with picore running on RPi3 with add on amps (Hifiberry and Justboom). I've been able to either run in mono via asound configs (since I only run one

In the old days we would just run stereo, tie the output grounds together and hook the left+ and right + to the speaker. Phase didn't matter with one speaker. I have no idea if this will work for you, but maybe someone with knowledge of both old and new tech can help. Best of luck. Howard gac

Great to see you found the solution! :D 100 points for persistence. I have a feeling not many people use a screen/jivelite on their LMS, it's not a combination I use or test. Look at [Tweaks] > [Auto start tweaks] > Auto start LMS > help Auto start LMS and Auto start favorites tweaks were

Greg, re: the 2nd autostart. Yea, when I realized it followed FAV, I recalled that they were in that order on the tweaks page and realized that was probably what it was. re: TFT without LMS onboard. PiZeroW, TFT and picoreplayer make a great combo for a little desktop now-playing screen. Bonus

Hello rmac, Congratulations, your endurance to find the problem has paid off. I had the combination of LMS and TFT working before nowhinjing did his tutorial. My workflow was a little different than the tutorial. In my case, I manually wrote the entries in bootlocal.sh. That's why my boot order
