Hi all.
We are ready to release a major update to piCorePlayer - so we decided
to call i version 2.00 and start a new thread.
The old one is huge and has been read more than 700.000 times, therefore
it is time for a new thread.
So thank you all for your continued interest and support.
THE MAJOR CHANGES ARE:
- Only *one version of piCorePlayer*, but it can now run on all known
raspberry boards. So you can use the same piCorePlayer image for all
your players.
- *Shairport-sync* is supported and can be enabled from the "tweaks"
page. It will automatically show on your iDevice (iPad or iPhone) with
the name you have given your piCorePlayer. This means that you now can
stream from your iDevices to piCorePlayer. It will automatically
switch from squeezelite to shairport and vice versa. Just stop/pause
either squeezelite or Shairport.
- *piCorePlayer menu applet in* *Jivelite. *This means that you will
have a specific piCorePlayer menu in Jivelite. From here you can
reboot and save eventual changes from within Jivelite. This menu is
installed from your running LMS server. At the bottom of the Plugin
page in LMS you will need to add piCorePlayer repro:
http://picoreplayer.sourceforge.net/repo.xml Save.
- Then you go to Jivelite on the piCorePlayer. Settings - Advanced -
Applet installer - piCorePlayer menu - Install.
- Next use the arrow in the top left corner to get to the main menu.
Choose "quit" in the bottom of the screen (this will restart
Jivelite - so the piCorePlayer menu is visible).
- Go to Settings - choose piCorePlayer and select "Save settings to
SD-card"
- Kernel updated to 4.1.13 and piCore to version 7.0.
Because this version is so different from the others it is not possible
to use the "In situ" upgrade/downgrade system to go down from version
2.00 to a previous version. If you for some reason want to use an older
version you will have to download the previous version and burn it to
your SD-card.
Please try it out. For this version Ralphy has been a tremendous help
and he build the shairport-sync with all its dependencies. Kolossos made
the piCorePlayer menu script.
Regards
Greg, Ralphy and Steen
