NWJ, Thanks for putting together your tutorial. It took me a few tries to get it working - not your fault as I tend to improvise, but I eventually got there. I made some false assumptions and was playing with various settings the first few times through to see what they would do, so I had to start over a few times for my failed experiments. I also tried on A PiZero first instead of on a Pi3. I still don't quite have it working on a PiZeroW or PiZero(1.3), but I'll make a separate post about that.
A couple notes to help others and for possible editing of the tutorial: The tutorial works with 3.22 on a Pi3. Is it possible to edit the title of the thread to reflect the range of versions covered within the thread? It would make it clearer that you have kept updating the tutorial for the new versions of piCorePlayer as they come out. After making the new sd card, it would be worth pointing to the link for making a newconfig.cfg file and reminding people to add that at the same time they add or edit the cmdline.txt and config.txt files for easy wireless setup. Like someone else in this thread, I didn't realize that adding the wav35 default extension would add all the rest of the jivelite dependencies. In retrospect, it makes sense that it would, but I kept installing jivelite first which may have caused some of my issues. It may be worth adding a note at that spot in the tutorial that it is unnecessary and potentially counterproductive to install jivelite first. Also, the name of the default wav35 extension has changed slightly, so it isn't obvious which of the wav35 extensions to add. Again, it is noted in this thread that the default will add other extensions, but the default wav35 extension name no longer matches the specific name in the tutorial. For others trying the tutorial - just pick the one with default and wav35 in the name. After editing the bootlocal.sh, you have the user go to Tweaks and check that the "yes" box for jivelite autostart is checked and then click "reset". If "No" is currently checked, they need to first check the "Yes" button and then click "Set Autostart". If you click "Reset" first the "Yes" radio button selection does not stick. It may be redundant to click "Reset" after clicking "Set Autostart" but I did both. Prior to the calibration section, you suggest adding a mouse or keyboard for the initial setup. It should be noted in the calibration section that you need to remove the mouse before the calibration or the mouse may interfere with the calibration routine or cause it to fail. This last suggestion is far more tedious, so feel free to ignore. It would be nice if the screenshots had highlighting to show what the edited differences are between the original and the modified versions of the file. Most of them were easy enough to see, but the addition of the comment tags for a few lines in the do_rebootstuff.sh file were a little tougher to discern. I'm one of those that tends to do the editing instead of just replacing the files since I like to see what the changes are so I can learn and understand how it is all working. Thanks again! And thanks again to the whole piCorePlayer Team. I haven't said it lately cause it just works and I'm not on the forum that often anymore! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rmac321's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58482 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107366 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
