I am streaming Spotify (160k) which is very bad as well as mp3's from a Samba Share which is marginally better. I tried the same setup on a model B with same result.

Can't wait! Hi retrohunter, I think you need to get LCDProc packaged for piCore (Tiny Core Linux). It is best to ask over on the Tiny Core forum http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/ piCorePlayer is a designed to be a small distribution adding things like perl or python would increase the size of the distribution significantly. BTW: We are gradually adding some basic CLI LMS functions to piCorePlayer using shell. regards Greg Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Cheers to everyone and thank you very much @Steen for making this project possible. I've been using and enjoying piCorePlayer since 1.06.

Well, then you need another router behind that one to handle those VPN or tunneling or whatever you are trying to do.

If so any ideas? I just noticed this 'ALSA: dedicated devices for HDMI and analog audio' (https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/847) on Pi github issues list. Which hopefully means popcornmix will modify the Pi alsa driver so you can use both outputs simultaneously rather than having to flip the "routing" switch and be restricted to one or the other, at some point in the future.

Then insert the SD-card in the RPi A and boot. Now piCorePlayer should automatically use the wifi information you have provided and it should turn up on your network. This method is only needed for the first boot (or if you somehow break the wifi connection by providing wrong wifi info at a later stage).
