Hi guys I've been playing with piCorePlayer 1.10 for the first time and it is very nice!
I do have a couple of questions about the setting-up of parameters, the first to permit access to a hidden wireless network, the second about nominating a Squeezebox server. 1). ACCESS TO A HIDDEN WIRELESS NETWORK To allow piCorePlayer to access a hidden wireless network I believe I need to be able to set an additional parameter in the wpa_supplicant.conf file: scan_ssid=1 (this from http://databoyz.wordpress.com/tag/how-to-setup-network-and-wpa_supplicant-conf-file-on-raspberry-pi/) So I need to set up a file like this: Code: -------------------- network={ ssid="SSID_Name" scan_ssid=1 #psk="password" psk=abcde... } -------------------- I can't see how to do this in a way that the file is saved across a reboot and there isn't any option to set this parameter using the picoreplayer setup command. Any suggestions on how to make such a change stick? 2). NOMINATING A SQUEEZEBOX SERVER To connect to a Squeezebox server on a different subnet I need to nominate the server explicitly. However, if I set a server IP using the picoreplayer setup command (and save the settings) the server name doesn't appear in the command shown by ps: /MNT/MMCBLK0P2/TCE/SQUEEZELITE-ARMV6HF -O SYSDEFAULT:CARD=ALSA -N PICOREHIFIBERRY -A 200 4 and SqueezeLite can't connect to the server. This also occurs if I issue the command with the server address at the end of the line without the -s option switch. But if I issue the command manually using -s before the server IP address, SqueezeLite *does* appear in the command in ps and the player *is* able to access the server across two subnets: /MNT/MMCBLK0P2/TCE/SQUEEZELITE-ARMV6HF -Z -O SYSDEFAULT:CARD=ALSA -N PICOREHIFIBERRY -A 200 4 -S 192.168.1.201 This suggests that piCorePlayer isn't using the -s switch in front of the server name and so it isn't being picked up by SqueezeLite. If I'm right, would it be possible to fix this please?
