piCorePlayer Documentation

[Greg Erskine]

Following some feedback, the "piCorePlayer Downloads" page has been simplified.

It now only shows the current release of piCorePlayer.

[Greg Erskine]

I just just pushed a major update to the "piCorePlayer documentation".

Just about all the changes were related to an internal tidy up and restructure, so hopefully everything looks and works as before.

Let me know if I have broken something.

I just just pushed a addition restructure update to the "piCorePlayer documentation".

I have changed from "fontawesome icons" to "bootstrap icons", so hopefully everything still looks and works as before. I have noticed that sometimes the browser may require a "Refresh" to load new icons.

Let me know if I have broken something.

Added a new project: "Add a 7.9 inch Waveshare display".

Thanks mini11

Added a link to The Fan Club "Add a 5.5 inch Waveshare AMOLED display" instructions in the "Projects" section.

Thanks The Fan Club

Would it be helpful, when I use the index.md as base for a similar tutorial, edit it with notepad++ and then upload it together with the graphics?
The tutorials are all MS-Word documents. Otherwise I make plain text and upload it together with the pics. I'm not familiar with html.

It would be helpful but really it is a matter of what you are happy doing.

The markdown file (.md) is the documentation source, the html is all generated automatically by Hugo.

index.md has meta data, formatted in yaml, at the beginning, then standard markdown except for a few GO template commands, like {{< card >}}, interspersed.

I spend som time this afternoon to test editing the index.md file and changed some steps for the 4 inch ws-display.
Here it is:
Waveshare 4 inch hdmi touch spi.md.txt

Please take a look at the files and if this is OK for you, I will do the same with the other tutorials step by step.

Added project "Add a 4 inch Waveshare display spi touch".

@mini11. I only changed the graphics links because I used a different directory name, and because Linux is case sensitive I had to change Display to display in one location. That's it... a couple of minutes work!!!

index.md.txt

I didn't do an edit pass yet, just published as is.

Waveshare 4 inch display

Looks really great, so we can continue like that. At the moment, my time is short. I think, in 2 or 3 weeks we can finish the projects.

An additional hint:

I'm missing a link on startup-page of piCorePlayer (..../cgi-bin/about.cgi) to documetation-page. Perhaps a link will save people much time that they spend for searching the forum.

[Greg Erskine]

There is a Help tab/link to the piCorePlayer homepage, then there is a HELP link on the pulldown menu.
