Couldn't this be solved by modifying the start-up timing of squeezelite?
Don't really know for PiCore, but on an OS where services are managed by
systemd you'd add the following lines to the service file, to make it
wait until runlevel 3:
Code:
--------------------
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
--------------------
Main System: Touch; Marantz SR-5004; TMA Premium 905; TMA Premium 901;
BK Monolith+ FF; HDI Dune Smart D1; Pioneer PDP-LX5090H
Workshop: iPad 32GB Wifi + Squeezepad (local playback activated)
Wherever needed: Acer Iconia Tab A700 + Squeezeplayer
Car: BananaPi LMS + Squeezeplayer on Android phone - Controller TBD ...
