hi Michielo, Your boot time does seem too long. Do you have wifi on? Even though you are not using wifi, piCorePlayer will attempt to use wifi if it is on. Whenever I have a slow boot it has always been wifi related. If you have a monitor connect to hdmi you should see where the slowness is. On later version of piCorePlayer, the boot messages should be clean. You shouldn't need a MAC address set. I use RPi1B and boot times should not be in greater than a minute. Also, I have never used piCorePlayer 1.19k, I missed that particular version, so it could be a quirk of that version???. Try updating to piCorePlayer 1.19l. regards Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
