Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite on a Pirate Audio 240x240 screen
I picked up a cheap st7789v based display.works just fine with the new driver and overlay. This display and driver do not use the MISO channel on the SPI interface, so you can leave it unwired. The Pirate Audio board actually reuses this for DC. I used an arbitrary for my test configuration. This is how I wired and configured my other display. dtoverlay=st7789v-spi,dc_pin=24,reset_pin=25,cs=0,rotation=180,row_offset=80 I'll build this driver into the next kernel. piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BETA: piCorePlayer6.0.0 - PI4 support
Interesting read on all the WiFi RPi4 issues. I have two RPi4's, getting wifi to work has always been a piece of cake. Maybe flashed a couple dozen times between the two. Lots of great info, just in case I have an issue one day. FWIW, I just connect to Ethernet first then use the GUI to start and connect to wifi. Seems to be a robust method for me at least.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] squeezeplay i386 does not display all cover art
Went on to try Jivelite + Squeezelite. Squeezelite uses by far the most CPU when playing but that's okay. I can get it to idle with negligible CPU usage by using the -C option. But I have issues with my build of Jivelite: When using the power button in the top left corner of the home screen to turn the player off there is no way to turn it on again. Jivelite doesn't react to mouse clicks or key presses anymore. The only way out is turning on the player remotely on the server. Squeezeplay doesn't do this. Can Jivelite be set up to behave the same as SqueezePlay? Also, in power management of the PC the display is set to turn off a after period of inactivity but this never happens. Even with Jivelite in the off-state and Jivelite screen saver set to blank the screen the display backlight always remains on. Is there anything I can do to change this? I guess what I need is a combination of jive as in SqueezePlay + Squeezelite. Can this be achieved somehow?

I guess I > never asked him for the contents of /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/onboot.lst OK, I left the "Maintained by user" bit out as I hadn't fully investigated that setting and didn't want to confuse things further - I posted at 2am after several hours of testing/playing around with wifi settings and needed to get some sleep. This morning I've tested the "Mbu" setting. So to clarify last nights testing was all with this in the boot partition wpa_supplicant.conf # If you want to manually configure wifi, and maintain all settings manually. # Changes would be made by saving a new file on the boot partition. # no part of pCP would modify this file. Ensure the file contains this following line. # Maintained by user # # If you would like to maintain wifi settings in the web interface remove the above line. and what I reported stands. If Maintained by user is commented out... (that's how it was set in my downloaded b9 image wpa_supplicate.conf.sample) # If you want to manually configure wifi, and maintain all settings manually. # Changes would be made by saving a new file on the boot partition. # no part of pCP would modify this file. Ensure the file contains this following line. # #Maintained by user # # If you would like to maintain wifi settings in the web interface remove the above line. Then using the wpa_supplicant.conf file in the boot partition does not work, regardless of what's in quotes and what isn't with ssid and psk in quotes, then everything looks OK but it just doesn't connect and get an IP address with ssid and psk no quotes then I see the same behaviour for psk as before - it populates the PSK Passphrase box and no connection with ssid no quotes and psk quotes then again everything looks OK but it just doesn't connect and get an IP address There are so many permutations it's hard to write down everything clearly, and maybe not necessary, I'll have a think about the best way to write up everything I've seen and tried, I need a break and the dog needs her morning walk. But the bottom line for me and my suggestion for Zabizabo to try is 1. Start with a fresh image 2. Open image boot partition rename wpa_supplicant.conf.sample to wpa_supplicant.conf 3. Edit wpa_supplicant... Maintained by user (make sure this line is NOT commented out, i.e. remove the #) country=country code (no quotes) ssid=yourSSID (no quotes) psk="yourPSK" (make sure quotes are used) 4. Save the edits 5. Boot Pi from new image with edited and renamed wpa_supplicant.conf 6. Wait 2-3 of minutes 7. Pi should have connected to wifi, scan for ip address or check router for ip address 8. Connect to pCP using ip address in web browser 9. Go to Wifi Settings page, in Set Wifi Config section re-enter your SSID, PSK passcode and Country code and click on Save 10. Wait for save to complete 11. Click on Diagnostics button 12. Diagnostics summary should show correct ssid, country code and have a passphrase rather than passcode 13. Shutdown and power cycle Pi to check settings have stuck 14. Reconnect via web interface and configure up the rest of pCP This has worked every time for me.
