It does work with pCP 8

I'll build another one and see if the steps work for me.

I did read through your thread(s) but... I understood you got CEC working for Raspberry Pi OS but not with pCP.

I did follow through with your instructions (no compiling) but didn't get CEC working.

[Paul Webster]

Next step is to add in the CEC control capability so that you can use the TV remote to drive Jivelite.

Added a project "Raspberry Pi Zero W with HDMI TV and Jivelite" to piCorePlayer documentation.

Yikes, HDMI setup has gotten a whole lot more complicated.

In the old days, I would create a SD card, set output to "HDMI output", press Random. Don't worry about jivelite, it always worked. Testing over.

Not any more....lots of gotcha's.

Added "Tags" and "Categories" Taxonomy links to the top right hand menu.

Taxonomy has always part of the documentation, but up to now, there was no method of starting at the Taxonomy top level. Previous you had to open a page, then click on the Tag or Category link.

Added a new "How to" to the piCorePlayer Documentation.

See "Add a WD Elements SE 4 TB hard disk drive".

The object of this “How To” was to grab a standard 4TB USB HDD from the Electronics store and determine what are the steps required to get it mounted on piCorePlayer. To date, I have only be using 1TB and 2TB USB drives which were formatted NTFS and used a MBR. My understanding is for HDD’s greater than 2TB, the MBR is replaced with a GPT. piCorePlayer being a minimalist distribution doesn’t include support for NTFS or GPT by default.

There is no directory creation, file copy or LMS setup instructions, just instructions to mount a NTFS formatted USB drive with a GPT.

Ok, I think I tried that, but didn't work. Will try again. Now that I know it should work, I'm sure I can figure it out, thanks!

- I guess I just wasn't patient enough, that worked. Thanks again!

I tried out PiCorePlayer, and I have to say, I like it! Really simplifies a lot of things. Also looking through this thread I've got all sorts of fun ideas now of things I want to try like adding a screen, IR, etc. I am curious though, if and when version 8.3.0 of LMS will be incorporated, or if it has already and I just didn't figure out how to do it?

Just updated piCorePlayer Documentation to Hugo 103.1

Hopefully nobody notices.
