I am assuming from the tone of the question you know this is an undervoltage warning. I think that th Pi warning is a little sensitive as I've had this warning on my Rpi running Kodi and experienced no problems or crashes I regularly get the warning running from USB ports or USB PSU's although the official Pi PSU seems OK (No warning) The Pi PSU has thicker cable than most (0.5mm^2 I think) most "Genuine" USB cables IE Samsung etc seem OK but lots have much thinner wire adding voltage drop. Most of the Pi's I use now have 3A Psu's with a DC Barrel connector to Micro USB adaptor these all work OK even powering a USB HDD as well. It sound like the PSU/Cable combination you have is just marginal as the flash only appears when you create load by actually asking the Pi to do something "extra" by making a selection etc. Try using a thicker cable and without the "Y", Run the Pi Screen from the headers with the wires supplied it might make the difference *Players:* SliMP3,Squeezebox3 x3,Receiver,SqueezeLiteX,PiCorePlayer x3,Wandboard *Server:* LMS Version: Latest Nightly on Centos 7 VM on ESXi 6.5.0U1 on Dell T320 *Plugins:* AutoRescan/BBCiPlayer/PowerSave/PowerSwitchIII/Squeezecloud/Spotty *Remotes:* iPeng9/Orangesqueeze/PC/Jivelite/SqueezeLiteX *Music:* 383GB,1346 albums with 18894 songs by 4501 artists mostly FLACs *Want a webapp ?* See http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?104305-Webapp-for-LMS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeff07971's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49290 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103330 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
