I have a Synology NAS formatted with the Btrfs file system. Can I add a share to it to pCP? Or does it have to be ext4? What file systems are included in the "additional filesystems" pack? Sorry for the noob question, but I've been searching here and other resources for an hour and a half and I

Okay, another noob question. I have progressed as far as getting pCP installed with LMS running. I am having trouble getting a network disk mount set up. My NAS is a Synology DS220+ running DSM 7. I followed the instructions 'here' (https://docs.picoreplayer.org/how-to/add_network_share/) for

I am having a hard time getting bluetooth running in pCP 8.0.0. It installed okay, but then I removed it (for a silly reason probably—I thought I should check for updates). But after the reboot, there is no "Install" button, only "Remove". When I click "Power On", it says "Turning BT controller
