hi Plasma, Just a couple of tips that may help. 1. Don't assume USB devices are hot swappable. I have seen it work but not reliably enough. 2. When you have 2 networks going, squeezelite and therefore piCorePlayer will use your wired network, it will not automatically swap to the wifi adaptor. 3. If you manually change configuration files you need to do a backup to make changes persistent. $ pcp bu 4. SSID and wifi password validity is a grey area. Different manufacturers have there own definition of what is acceptable. 5. Using special characters may break piCore or piCorePlayer somewhere. 6. We don't support hidden SSIDs. 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
