Thank you Paul. That is indeed needed since we don't have the Realtek
drivers anymore.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer 8.0.0 - Bluetooth Discussion

2022-01-21 Thread moritzg


Hi all,

I was using RPi4 built-in Bluetooth before which was working ok-ish. I
wanted to switch to using a Bluetooth dongle now and plugged it in and
after a reboot it worked. Next day it stopped working so I did a reboot
and now piCorePlayer cannot find the bluetooth dongle anymore, even if
it worked before, so I know it has been working with this specific
dongle.

The error is: "No default controller available" when trying to turn the
BT controller on.

Some infos about my system:

- piCorePlayer v8.1.0, linux 5.10.77-pcpCore-v7l (32)
- Generic USB bluetooth dongle (works on other devices), seen as
Cambridge Silicon Radio Ltd
- Raspi Bluetooth OFF, Wifi ON

I've tried rebooting, using different USB ports, removing Bluetooth,
reinstalling, etc. 

It also seems that lsusb doesn't detect my dongle at all (anymore). I
think this is the main problem. Do I need to load any extended packages
or so? Thank you!

Doesn't sound good for your BT dongle.  If lsusb doesn't show it, its
not being seen by the system.

Potential problems
Bad Dongle
Bad USB port
Weak Power supply.

Hmm interesting. Just fired up a 3b+ with a fresh pCP installation and
it works just fine with the dongle. I'm using the official RPi4 power
supply so I'm thinking it's not that either. Somehow I messed up my
system I guess.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 8.0.0

2022-01-21 Thread mr-b


Hi

I did search but couldn't find an answer to this ...

Is there any way to have a notification of pCP updates ( or other
component updates) e.g. like LMS?
I don't tend to update on a whim but it's be great to at least have some
notice of updates that one could review. Currently I seem to discover
new releases by accident.
The notification could be via the UI or via an Announce (only) locked
thread where each release update notice could be posted (and to which
one could subscribe).

LMS has a notification system, built into its web UI.   pCP has a
release page https://docs.picoreplayer.org/releases/   But nothing for
small incremental extension updates

If you have a way of monitoring a website for changes (there are free
services for this, and android apps, and fairly simple shell scripts),
then you could set up to be notified when either
https://docs.picoreplayer.org/releases/ or
https://repo.picoreplayer.org/insitu/ is modified.

That's what I do.

firmware has been added to the pCP 8.x.x repository.  You will have to
do a little manual work here until we make upgrades the wifi pages.

start a ssh session

Code:


  tc@Pi4-armhf-Devel:~$ tce-load -w firmware-mediatek
  Downloading: firmware-mediatek.tcz
  Connecting to repo.picoreplayer.org (172.67.157.97:443)
  saving to 'firmware-mediatek.tcz'
  firmware-mediatek.tc 100% 
|**| 7048k  0:00:00 
ETA
  'firmware-mediatek.tcz' saved
  firmware-mediatek.tcz: OK
  tc@Pi4-armhf-Devel:~$
  



Then edit your onboot.lst  (use vi or install nano)

Code:


  tc@Pi4-armhf-Devel:~$ vi /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/onboot.lst
  



Press the 'i' key on your keyboard for insert.  At the beginning of the
file, or at least by all of the other firmware-xxx.tcz entries

add "firmware-mediatek.tcz" to the file

then Press :wq

This will save the file.then reboot. And you should be good.

Thanks Paul that worked, finally I was able to correct the SSID & save
the changes. However, I still can't connect over wifi :( as soon as I
disconnect the Ethernet cable.

Rebooted with & without Ethernet cable removed, but I loose the
connectiion when I removed the cable.

Yes, I have configured the Ethernet link with a static IP address in my
router

Have you set Ethernet as static IP in pCP - not the router?
If you have then turn it off and see what happens.
Main/Beta/Static


If you have not set it there ... then the problem is that pCP is
remembering the old IP address to reach LMS ... which is not reachable
when the cable is removed.
I am sure that this has come up before but I don't remember the
solution.
Someone will though.
