Hi tbali,

Sounds like a very interesting project, I have sort of read your posts
in the past but have only started to look at the cheap LCD displays
again recently.

What version of piCorePlayer does Slimmer currently work on?

How big is Slimmer? What are it's dependencies?

I would be interested having a play with it, if possible.

regards
Greg

Hi UZI,

We usually upgrade to the latest kernel as soon as possible. You may
note that we usually use a "beta" version of piCore rather than wait
until an official version is ready.

As Paul pointed out there are many (and getting bigger) dependencies
that need to be resolved before we move to a new kernel.

Your thanks are appreciated. :)

regards
Greg

It won't survive a reboot, do what you to do in bootlocal

I edited and saved the fstab with nano. So I think that is wrong. Or do

You cannot save fstab.  It gets generated during the boot process, make
your edits to bootlocal..it is also perfectly fine in bootlocal to
append lines to fstab, then use a plain mount statement.

It's bound to happen sooner or later.   The change you are asking for
will need piCore 8.x.   It's a major upgrade.   Not all of the packages
that are needed are even built yet.  Major change for internal LMS too,
as piCore 8.x defaults to Perl 5.24.

In the tutorial I'm following (http://pughx2.com/pitouch.html), there is
a link to a Jivelite skin and wallpapers for this screen
(http://pughx2.com/assets/px2/files/jivelite-wav.zip - at the very
end).
Can I install and set it up before running JiveLite?

Your challenge is there are no skins designed at that resolution.  I
know it would be possible, but it would be a lot of work to develop a
set of skins for a new resolution - further ones which are setup for a
touch screen.  I don't know what would happen if you tried to install
skins for a "real" Touch (which has resolution of 480x272)... you may be
able to get that to work.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: JiveLite - cut down squeezebox control application

2016-06-02 Thread DenisPac

Hello,

I'm trying to make a kind of Squeezebox touch using a RPI, SqueezeLite
and JiveLite.
I'm using a LCD TFT 3,5" touchscreen with a resolution of 480x320.
My problem is that when I'm running JiveLite, I have a small portion of
the JiveLite GUI visible and I'm blind to configure it.
Do you have any hint to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

Just a little Question: Is there an advantage using the
/opt/bootlocal.sh over using the /etc/fstab for mounting a nfs-share?
I have searched for some info but didn't find it.

I would vote for supporting tbali with his program by upgrading the

Thanks for the reply! Please consider upgrading the image to the newest
piCore in the next release. I would like to announce my new program
named *Slimmer*, but I don't want to do that until it will work
correctly on piCorePlayer. This bug in piCore is very serious, all
programs written in C++ are affected if they are using exception
catching, which is a basic thing.
