Thanks for researching this and for the updated instructions. The option of someone locally helping me is a great peace of mind lifeline if needed, thanks again! Now that I understand it a little better, a question that arises is, can I temporarily use a Windows 7 laptop that has hdmi, in place of the Pi4? But I think the piCorePlayer only works on Linux? I guess I'm still not quite understanding this totally, I appreciate your bearing with me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ basslover's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38572 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113191 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
