[SlimDevices: Unix] Rpi
Having helped a few people with LMS and RPi with piCorePlayer, my BIL is the only one having issues. He is 200 miles away and helping him over TeamViewer is not ideal. I am visiting this weekend, and would like to sort it out. System RPi 3b, running away LMS only, with local USB HDD for music. Picoreplayer v 3.22, Linux 4.9.50 pcpCore v7, piCore v 8.01, Logitech Touch iPad with IPeng Issue Spotify (only) is skipping. iPeng momentarily loses the song too, and the album art disappears, and Song Title. Then comes back. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5n59eamutz473bi/Video%2027-02-2020%2C%2020%2047%2012.mp4?dl=0 Im not very good at interrogating logs... Actions I tried dropping Spotify from 320 to next lower setting, and no difference. I tried updating LMS and piCore version and got an error downloading insitu.cfg. Shall I just plan to update to v5 or v6 beta PiCore player - where I am not getting this type of issue? And if so, which one? I guess there is no upgrade path other than full wipe of SD card and start again. 2958129581 Any advice appreciated. +---+ |Filename: 36E850C0-100D-4C08-A5A8-89CF190065ED.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29581| +---+ wl1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111739 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

One of my concerns with the SD Card my friend bought was I didn't realise it was 128Gb, and then selected a bigger partition "whole card". yes, a lengthy delay ensued I have now reverted to proper components I have built with before, 16Gb, and just let pCP pick a size when it tried to install LMS.

Thanks for all replies so far... The post #1 shows I did install additional file support, from which I rebooted pCP and then was able to Mount the drive. Your link has extra steps - and I am prepared to wipe the USB HDD and follow those and retry later I just don't recall doing these steps when running a USB (powered from RPi) HDD before. I think I will order a RPi PSU and SD Card just to rule out the only other differences between the troublesome unit and what I have done a few times before.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Music on USB HDD not scanning on pCP
I have built a few RPi and matched them with USB HDD - running both LMS and as a player - all OK. But I started to help someone else, and I am having an issue with the USB HDD failing to be scanned by LMS. 28265 I set up the LMS and point it to the Mounted Music of the USB HDD (and it sees it), but the scan shows 0 artists/songs etc and when I browse in LMS to the MNT again - it has disappeared. Any suggestions? I have already changed from a Toshiba HDD to WD. Tried pCP v5. I do suspect the PSU but I only have a MeanWell one to try it against, and it means taking apart a working system. == RPi 3+ running pCP v4.1.0 PSU (non RPI - but it is 2.5A) Memory Card (128Gb) The last 2 items were not what I asked them to order :-( +---+ |Filename: pCP.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=28265| +---+ wl1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111034 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Is this a setting somewhere? Squeeze lite works perfectly! Have you been to the Web UI of PicorePlayer, and looked at the Tweaks Tab (might need to be Advanced Mode).?
