I can use Jivelite on my RPi to turn any player on/off (both original Squeezebox players as well other RPi's running Squeezelite). Off course if you turn your players off by pulling the plug or power them down - then you can't wake them remote. But if you just press the little power off icon in the top right corner on the Jivelite home screen, you can power any player on/off from your remote Jivelite control panel. mark f wrote: > This is why I'm here: I am preparing to install rPi Zero W based > control panels in some of the walls of my house.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Announce piCorePlayer 3.20
Hi guys, we are sorry for the late announcement - but pCP 3.20 has been released. KERNEL/FIRMWARE CHANGES - 4.9.21 kernel - rpi firmware - 2017/03/31 - config.txt changes to increase usable memory on rpi2/3 by 16M - config.txt changes to decrease videocore memory usage. - rpi Zero-W Support - Allo Boss and Piano-Plus Support - Changed 8192cu driver (same version that OSMC uses) - 8812au driver included OTHER PCP CHANGES - Squeezelite updated to v1.86-945 - ffmpeg updated to 3.17 - wiringpi shared libraries included by default. (Used to be static linked to squeezelite). - flac updated to 1.3.2 - utf8 support for fat32 partitions - New card configuration system, will help with speed on squeezelite page. Also allows us to add more specific card information. - Set --nomysqueezebox option from web interface - Default LMS install is 7.9.0 released verison - Great updates to pCP jivelite pacakge. Made possible by mherger - pcp Help web site http://picoreplayer.sourceforge.net. - This is still a work in progress, where we can easily create web pages with HOTO's and other information. If you have something you would like included, creates a simple web page and let us know. - And last but not least, corrections to the inplace update process - Reloading the reboot page should no longer reboot your pCP device again. - You can now do an insitu_update and change from pcpCore to pcpAudioCore, and vise versa. For the adventuresome 3.11 users reading this, If you do a hotfix (Near the bottom of the Main Page in Beta Mode), this will install a small fix that, that will allow you to do an insitu_update to 3.20. By my tests, if you are using a 3.11 image, when you install 3.20, you should have about 180k of disk space left on the boot partition. 99% Full. In my mind this is a bit risky, but I suppose if your card is not easily pulled, give this a try. Worse case you have to pull your card and reflash.

Almost there, that's great!
Since you don't have the 7" rpi screen your change won't be run.
The if statement is checking the eventno for the rpi screen, comment it
out.
Try this.
Code:
if [ "$JIVELITE" = "yes" ]; then
echo -n "${BLUE}Starting Jivelite... ${NORMAL}"
#eventno=$( cat /proc/bus/input/devices | awk '/FT5406 memory based
driver/{for(a=0;a>=0;a++){getline;{if(/mouse/==1){ print $NF;exit 0;')
#if [ x"" != x"$eventno" ];then
export JIVE_NOCURSOR=1
# export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/$eventno
export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event2
export SDL_MOUSEDRV=TSLIB
export SDL_MOUSEDEV=$TSLIB_TSDEVICE
#fi
export HOME=/home/tc
echo "${GREEN}Done.${NORMAL}"
sudo -E -b /opt/jivelite/bin/jivelite.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

Are you saying there are screens which can't be exited with the Left button?!? What would they need on a real Touch? Yes I believe that there are some pages that do not work with the remote and not for the reason I discussed with Ralphy I have to check the code whether we can change this behaviour from the server side...

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Netbooting piCorePlayer 3.x
Yeah I'm pretty miffed by the situation. For those who'd like to get rid of the SD and do not mind attending reboot and power cycle the machine if it doesn't come alive, here is the last configuration I was running on the Raspbian server. It runs good, but not reliably enough for me. I was targeting unattended reboot after general power failure (the Pi 3 server being protected by an UPS) This setup was running on "Linux srv 4.9.24-v7+ #993 SMP Wed Apr 26 18:01:23 BST 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux" (Raspbian lite) on Pi 3. All wired network, DHCP server on an ISP router box, 2 switches: one close to the players, one in the router box (Pi 3 server connected to it). 1. Install atftpd in addition to dnsmasq. For me dnsmasq has a bug in its tftp server and often sends files that belong to the wrong player. The symptom is the player doesn't boot and blinks its green led 3 times repeatedly. This is solved by using atftpd. 2. Configure both to work together. For atftpd I have boosted the number of threads to improve processing of parallel booting of multiple players. The timeout option computed by the client is disregarded as I read there was a bug there in the Pi 3 firmware, but these tweaks might be useless. This is /etc/default/atftpd: Code: USE_INETD=false OPTIONS="--user=root.root --retry-timeout=30 --maxthread=200 --no-timeout --verbose=3 --listen-local /tftp" 3. As clients would still randomly decide to sit on their butt doing nothing, I decided in a last-ditch effort to supersede the router's built-in DHCP server with dnsmasq in the Pi 3 server. So dnsmasq no longer works in proxy mode, but as an authoritative DHCP server. Having 2 active DHCP servers would disrupt networking, so dnsmasq is configured to respond only to a specific set of Pi clients. This is /etc/dnsmasq.conf: Code: log-dhcp # Debug mode log-async=50# Weak IO/s on Pi dhcp-no-override# Safe behaviour dhcp-ignore=tag:!known # Only known Pis (below) pxe-service=0,"Raspberry Pi Boot" # Boot service for Pi 3 dhcp-option=66,"192.168.1.161" # Inform clients of the TFTP server name, ourselves # Needed for atftpd dhcp-authoritative # Try to help Pi3s get an address to boot... dhcp-range=192.168.1.100,192.168.1.175 # ... and its still not enough. It's broken. # Known hosts dhcp-host=b8:27:eb:01:02:03:04,player1 ... Once booted, I had excellent sync over my 5 test players (pcp3.20beta5). Reboot usually works, as it is easier to get a single Pi to boot compared to 5 at the same time. Rebooting the server puts players in stasis while they try to regain their root filesystem over NFS. After a few minutes, the players are operational again and sync fine. Finally be aware that switches on the path may affect the players boot behaviour, especially if they are power cycled as well. "Smart" switches that take their time to boot and activate their ports have an adverse effect, possibly also switches with "green" features that activate ports on demand.

I did work from the console, but due to lack of knowledge , have not found a way to load all the modules in the correct order from the boot process only. The list is arizona/wm5102 depends on arizona_ldo1 depends on arizona Hias hinted to me the modprobe from busybox does lack softdep And his set relies on softdep, to work its way around the kernel module sequence problems. This is just the info he gave me, and I jet have to understand the way these techniques work to comment on that. Still It does wonder me that a USB insert does finish the module load procedure, and does allow me to use the driver from that moment. So if I was able to emulate that event, and if really needed load the squeezelite instance with a delay or from a test loop, the setup could work without human intervention to set to a working state. I will start to see how busybox modprobe does work , and find ways to perhaps make it more persistent to load the modules .
