The pCP team is happy to announce the official release of piCorePlayer
8.0.0
Significant changes
_*pCP_8.0.0*_
- Kernel 5.10.42
- Removed out of tree realtek wifi drivers, as they are not well
maintained. You can still build them manually before upgrade See --
https://github.com/piCorePlayer/pCP-Kernels
- RPi Firmware June 8, 2021
- Improved support for CM4 based boards. (Still lots of driver issues
with CM4 boards, so be warned)
- Based on piCore 13.x base.
- Includes Squeezelite 1.9.9-1386-pCP.
- Added interface to Alsamixer in pCP web interface.
- Bluetooth speaker controls are now passed to LMS
(Play/Pause/Next/Prev)
_*Notes*_
- Adding wpa_supplicant.conf to the boot partition will automatically
enable Wifi
- Adding a file named "netusb" to the boot partition will
automatically load/configure net-usb kernel modules.
- mDns enabled by default. Burn your image, boot the RPi, and find it
by http://pcp.local This is broadcasting the hostname of your player,
so please change your hostname on the tweaks page if you have multiple
pCP devices. (mDns can be disabled on the tweaks page too)

*SUPPORTS*: RPI3B AND RPI4B BOARDS.
[B]_KNOWN_ISSUES_
- No support for RT kernels. I don't see support for these kernels
continuing.
- HDMI audio is quite hit and miss. Many bumpy roads ahead for HDMI
audio out.
_RECOMMENDED_UPGRADE_PATH._
- Download new image and configure from scratch.
- Insitu_update is available, and handles most installations.
*However, downgrading versions will not be possible.*
- Bluetooth extensions will need to be removed before insitu update to
pCP8.0.0, due to significant package changes.
