piCorePlayer was written assuming squeezelite was running and there was a soundcard available.
We use squeezelite's connection to LMS to generate things like the Players tabs. Also, things like working out the LMS IP address require a squeezelite /LMS connection. My understanding is squeezelite creates a LMS instance using its MAC address as a unique identifier. If squeezelite has stopped, LMS will forget this players instance after a period. (10 minutes?) So you can't resume the playlist after this period. To LMS this player does not exist. Also, the latest Raspberry Pi code, when they changed their soundcard from ALSA to Headphones, B1 and B2, also introduced a feature where their sound cards where not available unless something was plugged into the HDMI port, but Headphones still appeared. Also it appears that, on the latest RPi400 it doesn't have even have a Headphones sound card. So when you load pCP on it, it will start squeezelite hoping to use the default Headphones soundcard, but it doesn't exist, so squeezelite fails to start. Because squeezelite is not running, there is no connection to LMS, so no player tab, etc. This pCP is completely isolated from the LMS system. This would probably apply to RPi0's as well now, but I haven't checked. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113661 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
