Hi piCorePlayer team, First, thanks for all your excellent work! Not only did piCorePlayer work right out of the box for me, but it's very well designed and polished, and even complex tasks like upgrading and setting obscure parameters are made understandable to newbies. I now have a great little system set up in my house, and it works so well that my father-in-law has requested one for his birthday!
In order to fulfill his request, I'll need to store music on an NTFS file system. On my piCorePlayer 3.01 installation, the "Install and Enable Additional Filesystems" feature isn't working. [1] Digging a little deeper, the problem seems to be that 3.01 uses the 4.4.15 kernel and therefore tries to download filesystems-4.4.15, but since the current 8.x kernel for armv7 is 4.4.20, it can't download the filesystems-KERNEL dependency. [2] And I'm guessing that this is because, as you mentioned earlier in this thread, you're planning for your next piCorePlayer release to including the final Tiny Core 8.0 release instead of the betas you've been developing against. Makes sense to me. And the new release will have the 4.4.20 kernel which seems to be the only kernel that works with the Tiny Core repo at http :// repo.tinycorelinux.net/8.x/armv7/tcz/ , which is where piCorePlayer's extras are downloaded from. (Please correct me if I'm mistaken about any of that.) So my question is, when might that next piCorePlayer release happen? Of course I understand that this is something you do in your spare time (and we all appreciate it!), and there are other demands on your time. But if you could let me know what to expect, that would be great. Thanks, Jon [1] Results displayed by the GUI when installing through the web interface (incidental feature request: additional error-checking here for better error message): ``` [ INFO ] Downloading: filesystems-4.4.15-piCore_v7+.tcz Error on filesystems-4.4.15-piCore_v7+.tcz 1 [ INFO ] Loadingntfs-3g.tcz not found! 1 [ INFO ] NTFS Support Loaded... ``` [2] Output of running `pcp-load -iw ntfs-3g` from a shell: ``` $ pcp-load -iw ntfs-3g <p>[ INFO ] ntfs-3g.tcz.dep Downloaded.....ntfs-3g.tcz DEP Test Ok</p> <p>[ INFO ] Downloading: filesystems-4.4.15-piCore_v7+.tcz</p> <p>Connecting to repo.tinycorelinux.net (89.22.99.37:80) wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found </p><p>[ INFO ] Checking MD5 of: filesystems-4.4.15-piCore_v7+.tcz..... md5sum: filesystems-4.4.15-piCore_v7+.tcz.md5.txt: No such file or directory </p>[ ERROR ] Error on filesystems-4.4.15-piCore_v7+.tcz</p> <p>[ ERROR] There was a error downloading ntfs-3g.tcz</p> ``` Output of `wget -q -O - http :// repo.tinycorelinux.net/8.x/armv7/tcz/ | grep filesystems`: ``` filesystems-4.4.20-piCore_v7+.tcz ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ otherjon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66043 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105997 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
