just to confirm what Michael says - I too have been running LMS and
PiCorePlayer on the same SD cards for over 3 years with never a problem,
and what is more, when necessary, I just switch it off and on again to
reboot rather than trying to shut down gracefully.

I have tried out your new tcz - very slick, but unfortunately the

I believe that to use the new official screens you will need notro's
fbtft drivers which are included in the Raspbian kernel by default.
If these can be included in the PiCorePlayer build, then it opens the
door to all manner of small LCD TFT screens.
