I've build a stand alone music system and used 'hostapd' (https://jenssegers.com/43/realtek-rtl8188-based-access-point-on-raspberry-pi). Hostapd creates a wifi hotspot; so your music system is completely stand alone and independent of other wifi networks. I use this primary in my car with iPeng as the remote control. I also use this system when travelling. It has a build in SSD drive which has a copy of the music on my NAS. I use Samba so that I have access to the internal drive (for synchronizing the music files with my NAS at home). This system is not based on piCorePlayer but maybe it is possible to install hostapd on piCorePlayer. In any case, this solution is working fine for me.

There will be no insitu update to 3.1.We are making some rather major changes underneath pCP, which prevents a stable upgrade process. The goal longer term is that we can make the upgrade a lot easier to be managed without upgrade errors. We apologize in advance for those that it's hard to get at the SDCard for upgrades. paul-'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58858 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105997 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

I had 192.168.0.50 as fixed ip setup in PcP (with problems as described) and 168.0.50 is outside my router's DHCP range.

So I have to reserve them on the router so they don't get allocated elsewhere if the client is switched off. You can also set the client up with the same static IP if you want but it's not really necessary as far as I can see.

I'll preface this by saying that I don't know the code at all... But, just a guess. Since it's such a small mp3 file (about 17k) that fits into a single buffer, could it be that the stream is being disconnected (stream_state == DISCONNECT) more quickly than with a larger file, causing the decoder never to be put into the DECODE_RUNNING state (i.e. stream_state is never STREAMING_FILE or STREAMING_HTTP)? mhilbush's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16832 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
[SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 3.10
Hi, the team are proud to announce the release of a new piCorePlayer 3.10. Because of the many changes and improvements and bug fixes and additions we decided to jump directly from version 3.02 to 3.10. Actually, we have released two versions: 1. *piCorePlayer3.10* which is a normal version like all previous pCP releases. The kernel and modules are vanilla versions from the official raspberry and piCore (tinycore) repo. 2. *piCorePlayer3.10-Audio* version. This version contain all the same improvements as the above mentioned version. But in addition we have added all the audio related patches that Clive (aka JackOfAll) made for the raspberry kernel). So here we have support for more i2s-DACs and we support higher sample rates etc. - Kernel 4.4.39. - Samba Server Implemented in Beta Mode - Squeezelite is now dynamically linked. - Advanced audio card control - let you control output level, available DTP filters, and parameter to dtoverlay. - Shairport-Sync updated to a lighter weight - New pcp extension repository, hopefully more stable. - Numerous under the hood changes and bug fixes. As we have so many changes we unfortunately are unable to offer "in situ" update - so will need to burn the image (after unzipping the download) to a your SD-card. Also the newconfig methid via USB stick wont work for this version. Please notice and try these additions (from "Squeezelite" web page choose "Advanced Options": 21830 Samba is added - after many requests from you - so here it is (you need to be in beta mode): 21831 Get them from here: https://sites.google.com/site/picoreplayer/home/download As always, please share your findings ___ The team Paul, Greg, Ralphy and Steen +---+ |Filename: samba.JPG| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=21831| +---+ piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.

Please note that we are now distributing the images as "zip" files.

The pCp is running on a RPi 2.01, with a Kali re-clocker, Allo Piano 1 DAC (the one with the headphone amp as well as analog) and the rPi 7" Touch screen. Is there somewhere in the pCp web page where you detail the pCp hardware ? It might be handy if the About tab included a list of hardware detected - such as RPi model, wireless dongle type, DAC if it can be detected, screen and any other add ons such as the Kali.
