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?
