Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Raspberry Pi w/screen as dedicated controller?
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who replied. I have implemented piCorePlayer in my house and it's brilliant. Here are the first two installations. I just got them installed this weekend as I had to wait for parts. I'll touch up the drywall and paint at a later date. You know something is good when the wife tells you she really likes it. 29661 29662 29663 I am really impressed with piCorePlayer. These are powered by POE. CAT5 ethernet was already present as I'm replacing an ELAN whole house system. All the wiring is located in my office where I have Raspberry Pi B+'s with HiFiBerry Dac's for the two zones. I'm using a Dayton multi-zone amp and wall volume controls that are impedance matched. Eventually I plan to have 8 Zones. There is no cover or case for the pi's in-wall installation and they are held in place by magnets. The installation was inspired by Christian Bleser: https://christian-bleser.de/raspberry-pi-touch-display-wandeinbau/ Right now for the pi streamers I plan to use chassis with a DIN rail as I can't think of another solution that'll be simple enough. I don't want a bunch of individual cases and wall-warts. Most of the piCorePlayer interface is self explanatory and some is still a bit confusing. Not totally sure where to get information, but I'm figuring it out as I go along. I do plan to use a RPi 4 4GB to run LMS via piCorePlayer. My only niggle is that I find creating playlists to be cumbersome and I don't have iTunes since I run Linux as my daily machine.

Shart wrote: > Thank you. > > Just ordered 7" Rasberry Pi touch screen kit today. Might go find a used > monitor to satisfy my impatience. Shart, If you can work with a stationary controller, take a look at 'rasptouch' . I needed something that looked good enough to allow my hobby to enter the living room I bought the case only and put in my own RPI 7" display, pi and dac, to keep cost down. If you do not connect it to an amp, you do not really need a dac and its wire. I do use it as my LMS, so found I had to wire it to the network to reliable feed multiple players. But if used as controller only, or using the local squeezelite player , wifi is sufficient in most cases. As a portable controller we use squeezer on phones and tablets in parallel, I think it is close enough to jivelite to get it in minutes. And the 'we' does indeed indicate the less tech savvy members of my family do use it too without difficulties. Recently I worked with a pizero-w and a 1.5 inch screen powered from a powerbank. And it got me thinking that a portable pi and screen combo could do as a controller too. however, an attractive casing for such a set set including batteries is not an of the shelf product . But I find it very comfortable to use dedicated hardware buttons , and it could double up as headphone player. Let us know what you decide.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Raspberry Pi w/screen as dedicated controller?
Hi- I've spent quite a bit of time looking for a dedicated controller. I currently have a ELAN system that's very very dated and I'd like to update or upgrade the system with LMS, PiCorePlayer(s) and some dedicated 7" controllers that will be wall mounted where the elan controllers are currently mounted. My current ELAN controllers are connected by cat5 ethernet so I'd use the existing ethernet for the controllers. The PiCorePlayers would be located in a central location with access to cat6, cat5e, speaker wiring and amps for the whole house system. Is there a dedicated Jivelite controller distribution anywhere or is this something I'd have to roll on my own? I did read through @chill thread, Javelite on a Joggler, and figured that's probably the avenue to go.
