I have published a new beta
image.....https://repo.picoreplayer.org/insitu/piCorePlayer6.0.0/piCorePlayer6.0.0-b4.zip

See info in the
OP...https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?110727-BETA-piCorePlayer6-0-0-PI4-support&p=944664&viewfull=1#post944664

For only the pi4, I have built and included a 64bit kernel......the
userspace is still 32bit.   The primary reason for this is the pi4 4GB
board *should* perform better in 64bit mode.   To use the 64 bit kernel,
you will need to do a little manual editing......

  
- Burn Image to SD card
- Edit config.txt to swap to 64 bit kernel
- boot as normal.
  

The reason to do this on a base image, is that you will need the 64 bit
module extensions, which I only include a few critical ones on the base
image......once you are running the 64 bit kernel, swapping back to 32
bit can be done, but if you added any kernel modules (Like filesystems)
in 64 bit mode, you will not have the correct extension for 32 bit
mode(armv7l)

Here is the PI4 section from the config.txt and what you will need to do
to use the 64 bit kernel.

Code:
--------------------
    
  [PI4]
  initramfs pcp_10.2v7l.gz followkernel
  kernel kernel41973v7l.img
  dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
  max_framebuffers=2
  ### Previous 4 lines are for a 32bit kernel
  ### Comment the previous 4 lines out and uncomment the next 3 for 64 bit 
kernel
  #arm_64bit=1
  #initramfs pcp_10.2v8.gz followkernel
  #kernel kernel41973v8.img
  
--------------------


I will make insitu_udpate available soon, but the main reason for this
beta release is the 64bit kernel which is much easier to start from a
fresh image.
