I'm getting the occasional, very brief audio glitch on my Sennheiser 440 HD BT Bluetooth headphones when connected to the Pi. Have the Pi set as a WAP, and know its Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals are on similar frequencies, so wondered if the Pi's WAP Wi-Fi could be interfering with the Pi's Bluetoo

[SlimDevices: Unix] Flirc USB infrared remote dongle and piCorePlayer

I've bought a Flirc USB dongle I've setup to control my piCorePlayers using the original remote controls that came with the Logitech Squeezebox Touch and also the little 13-button remote that came with the Squeezebox Radio accessory pack. The dongle works perfectly on my piCorePlayer with touchs

I've been running piCorePlayer reliably for a couple of weeks using a touchscreen, with Jivelite, Squeezelite and LMS all autostarting on power up. But suddenly,LMS and Squeezelite no longer start on boot. The only thing I've changed recently is creating WAP settings so my phone can connect dir
