I'm new to piCorePlayer and very curious which makes for a lot of questions. Very sorry about that but I hope you can help me at least with some: #1# I quite like the *default NowPlaying screen*. And on a Pi3 with the Raspi 7'' Touchscreen I find it more useful than any CustomClock screensaver. There are only 2 tiny changes I'd like to make: - add *rating stars* (the value for TRACKSTATRATINGNUMBER is being broadcast by CustomClockhelper and already shows up in the normal context menu - without any CustomClock screensaver being used. - if that works I could also have it look for other variables that I made CustomClockHelper broadcast, maybe some kind of icon that shows if a track is favorite/loved. I've looked at the NowPlayingApplet.lua file but anthing I've tried failed. I can't even get it to show the TRACKSTATRATINGNUMBER even though LMS sees and uses it. Do you maybe have any ideas where/how I should look/start? #2# Is it still ok to just unplug a piCorePlayer device? I'm just asking because there's a submenu item to power down pCP. Since I can't add item from the Settings > pCP-Menu to the home menu (only the entire menu group) what's the correct string to add it manually in -CustomizeHomeMenu.lua-? I've tried -piCorePlayerApplet_MENU_SHUTDOWN- but it didn't work. #3# I'd like to get rid of any console text output messages when I boot my pCP device. I've already reduced them to a minimum using cmdline.txt codes but I still get the pCP ASCII logo and the console prompt for couple of seconds before the pCP splashscreen kicks in. Is there any way to call the pCP splashscreen earlier to hide the console prompt and the pCP ASCII logo? #4# If I copy an applet from /tmp/tcloop/pcp-jivelite/opt/jivelite/share/jive/applets/ to /home/tc/.jivelite/userpath/applets/, will it always/reliably be used instead of the original readonly applet? Or do I need to modify anything else? #5# Do you leave SSH enabled in your LAN? Thank you so much for your help.
