Usually, people want to shut down the RPi to conserve power, but they need to add extra hardware to control the RPi, which in turn, consumes extra power.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 8.0.0
See piCorePlayer documentation: - "'My changes disappeared' (https://picoreplayer.gitlab.io/pCP-docs/faq/my_changes_disappeared/)". - "'piCorePlayer backup' (https://picoreplayer.gitlab.io/pCP-docs/information/pcp_backup/)". - "'Creating a piCore extension' (https://picoreplayer.gitlab.io/pCP-docs/information/picore_extensions/)". First 2 options are more suitable for personal use. If you look at [Main Page] > [Extensions] > "onboot.lst" you will see a nice tree showing the loaded extensions. I never use Bluetooth, but generally we tend to use extensions to load extra firmware.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 8.0.0
As happy new user of piCorePlayer I want to say it works amazingly. Thanks a lot! What I'm struggling with is Bluetooth dongle support as the internal Bluetooth module of the Raspberry Pi performs really bad in terms of coverage for me even with WiFi blocked. I have tried 7 different dongles (from Bluetooth 4.0 to 5.1) and none worked. dmesg told me that the firmware is missing: [ 26.545192] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: firmware file rtl_bt/rtl8761bu_fw.bin not found However, merely copying the missing firmware files from git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/rtl_bt into /lib/firmware/rtl_bt immediately *all of the Bluetooth adapters work perfectly with piCorePlayer.* Even when the entire Realtek Bluetooth firmware is less than 1 MB, I do understand the aim to keep the image at a minimum size. Let me ask what is the best way to get the firmware files installed permanently? Given that this seems to increase compatibility a lot I'd suggest adding these files to a standard Bluetooth setup (which isn't installed by default - so the image is still kept at minimum size). Alternatively, I could create an extension when you can give me advise how this is to be done for piCorePlayer. I'd prefer the former solution (include in Bluetooth extension) as this would be immediately available for other users without having to find my extension.

I'm not much of a Python user, so I've never installed them.
