I currently have piCorePlayer running on a Raspberry Pi Version 1 "B". The one where you had to solder on the connector for a DAC (in my case an IQAudio DAC). I am connecting it to my WiFi network using a generic WiFi dongle which works fine provided it is "always on". However, when power is removed and re-applied the pCP does not re-initiate. Even re-booting without the WiFi dongle but connected using ethernet cable does not bring it back to life. However, if I format the SD card and do a fresh write of the IMG file I can get it back up and running again using Ethernet cable. I set up the WiFi again, use the "shut down" button from the main page then place it back in my system and plug it back in. If I do this, the WiFi will restart and the player works.
This did not really matter where it was in my main hi-fi and always on, but I have moved it to a situation where it does get turned off at the wall occasionally. I really do not want to go through the whole write the card and all the settings bit every time this happens (about twice a week currently). So I am thinking of replacing it with a Raspberry Pi v3 with in-built WiFi. Sound quality is not mission critical in this location either so I might dispense with the DAC and just use the on-board DAC. Does anybody here have experience of this setup? Will it reliably restart if power is removed and then put back? Thanks for any help.
