    It could only control the Pi/player running jivelite, no way of selecting another player to control without a screen?

      Hopefully Jivelite will stick with the first player that it finds.

        ls -lrt /var/log/jivelite.log

        cat /var/log/jivelite.log

        and post the output here

          I have only one player, connected with the dac via usb. So it should not be a problem.

          Unfortunately this is the output with jivelite turned on and off:

          [email protected]:~$ ls -lrt .jivelite/userpath/settings/
          total 8
          -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 29 Mar 16 23:25 SetupWelcome.lua
          -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 24 Mar 16 23:26 SetupLanguage.lua
          [email protected]:~$

          I can see just these two strings

            One thing I noticed ...
            your files are not the same size as mine.
            I had expected them to be 1 byte bigger because of echo inserting an alignment function.
            However, one is smaller because the double-quote did not get copied in.
            I do not know if it will make a difference ... but just in case ...

            Set things to stop Jivelite (pCP web interface, no autostart, reboot)
            Then
            Code:
            echo settings = {locale=\"EN\",} > SetupLanguage.lua
            sudo chown root SetupLanguage.lua
            mv SetupLanguage.lua .jivelite/userpath/settings/

                Still the wrong size ...
                unfortunately the forum software gobbled up the backslash.
                I have just edited the post to make them visible again.

                  All right. Tried again but it seems to be the same output:

                      File is now 2 bytes longer (24 to 26) so the change worked.

                      Anything in the jivelite log? (see earlier)

                        All right, I was just looking at the size of the file. Excellent!!!

                        So I am not sure I understood the next step, but I turned on jivelite and rebooted pcp.

                        The remote control still not working. Did I miss something?

                              If the problem is not obvious from the contents of that file then I think you will have to get hold of an appropriate HDMI cable or try in a different RPi with HDMI connector that works with the cables that you already have.
