If things have not changed with the top-link Smart plug then ... you could use the Python script from https://www.softscheck.com/en/reverse-engineering-tp-link-hs110/ and use set_relay_state to make it turn the device off/on. First thing would be to get it working from a script ... and if it

That's my understanding as well, but I couldn't find any concrete confirmation on Oracle's site. In fact, I was unable to find the mp3plugin jar for download from Oracle. 'According to Richard' (http://softsqueeze.sourceforge.net/javamp3plugin.html) the mp3plugin uses less cpu than the spi

Paul, you're of course spot on that a proper power supply is important. However I'm using the 'official raspberry pi 2.5A power supplies' (sorry forgot to mention that in my first post) As for not supposed to write to SD card: yes, that is exactly why I like the pcp concept (and tiny core linux

The classic cause of odd things happening on a Pi is an inadequate power supply. However, as I expect you know, pCP is designed to not use the SD card once booted (although this is not necessarily so - eg if LMS installed on it and it is set to write to a partition on the SD). I wonder what

Has mp3plugin got caught in MP3 history ? IIRC A few years ago the Fraunhofer Inst (sp?) didn't allow MP3 to be bundled so users had to download modules indivudually (like lame) but now time has passed ( see https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/05/16/mp3_dies_nobody_noticed/ ) and I think Mp3

Hi Greg, OK, I was hoping that LMS could be closed down instantly too. What is the likely damage that will be done by not switching it off before pulling the power? The system has been in daily use for over two weeks now, and switched off by turning the power off. Nothing untoward seems to
