I would think that you might be better off with raspberry pi OS Lite,
and adapt these install instructions

There are details for the power button on the old raspbian, which should

Well, actually you don't need the shell script from post #33 because it
is only needed when the C program is used. Now the tasks of C program
and shell script are covered by the Python script from post #23. Just
executing the instructions of post #23 should be sufficient. Please let
me know if not.

We should also mention the 'Osoyoo'
(https://www.amazon.com/OSOYOO-Touchscreen-Raspberry-Capacitive-Compatible/dp/B08634Y16L/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1=osoyoo=1616015294=electronics=1-2)
screens in different sizes, which have a Raspberry Pi DSI interface and
pretty much work out of the box. Two exceptions to that statement: 1)
they require a type A flat cable (they supply a short one in the box),
as opposed to the official Raspberry Pi screen, which comes with a type
B cable, and 2) the screen rotation setting in Jivelite does not work
for the display - it has the proper display orientation out of the box,
but the touch interface is upside down, requiring you to set the
rotation to 0 degrees so that the touch locations are properly
calibrated.

See this thread:
https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?113708-5-quot-Touchscreen-display-that-works-with-Jivelite-right-out-of-the-box

You'll see some working examples. Mine did not require much effort to
get working once I figured out the touch rotation problem. I have the
3.5" screen running piCorePlayet 7.0.0.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Simple Linux OS for Jivelite, LMS on PC

2021-03-17 Thread Steve Agnew


I'm running LMS on an Odroid HC1 using DietPi Linux which was very easy
to get working. DietPi is available for X86 so maybe that would be a
good option to try just for LMS. I don't know how you would get on
hooking up a touchscreen and running Jivelite, but piCorePlayer is
perfect for that.

Most of my test pCP are wifi, it takes about 5 minutes to setup a player

It was a good while back and I think it may be good to look again.  I
wonder whether the contents of the file somehow results in a scanning
error. 

For scanning streamed audio, the audio header (to be scanned) is saved
in a temporary file usually created using File::Temp->new() and it is
possible to do have better control over the temp file.

My initial idea would be to use TEMPLATE so that the name of the temp
file has additional info such as code module, streamname, format  etc. -
the "lsof" can then be used to see if any commonality in the files being
left open.  

It is also possible override auto deletion when the associated object is
destroyed so contents can be examined

The File::Temp also has its own debugging which can be enabled although
not sure what it produces - but ultimately it is the module which is
responsible for deleting the file.

If the files are the issue (or possibly a side effect of the issue -
objects not being garbage collected), then I think you have to find out
what's in the files and so get an indication of where they came from.
