I like it, do you have any control over what gets displayed. I also note it only seems to display the track time if it scrolls.

well it would be pretty useless if not ;-)

btw: If u wanna control the player like a real Device take a look @ this:

Id copied some of it and added a 4*20 LCD.

I'd be interested. Would make an interesting project.

I've uploaded the SD img file and wiring diagram here:

I've written the image to an SD card and booted the Pi while connected via ethernet, but cannot SSH in or open the usual piCorePlayer web interface, as I can with recent versions of piCorePlayer. Should I be able to?

Yes!

I did find that my pi wouldn't work with some SD cards. Is your pi actually booting?

I can see it turn up as BOX in the list of devices attached to my router when it is attached by ethernet. Whether than means it's booted, I don't know! If I try to connect to it by SSH at that IP address (using the usual piCorePlayer username/password), it complains that the SSH server's not working on port 22. If I visit ip_address:8077, it's not reachable. I don't have an hdmi cable or USB keyboard/mouse, as I have always accessed my Raspberry Pi devices via SSH and VNC.

At the moment I have one Pi running piCorePlayer with a HiFiBerry DAC into the HiFi, with a second that I'm currently using as a headphone player that has the Wolfson DAC card. It's the latter I tried, after removing the Wolfson card.

Does it show up on your remote as a player?

Doesn't show up on LMS web interface...I'll probably have another go later this evening. I didn't check other controller apps, e.g. iPeng/Squeezepad.

I am puzzled as to why the image isn't working for you, Robert.

I'm running with an SD card made from the same image!

As you don't have a monitor it is hard to diagnose the problem. Perhaps some others could try the image, even if not interested in the LCD, just to cast some light on this problem?

Heee,

Also just testing your image and same problem.
2 SD cards working, but not very good.

The think I was wondering about was when it was ready with booting the network LEDs where off 1 second and than started again.

Is it possible you put a fixed IP in the image?

Then I was trying to start picoreplayer for checking settings, but wouldn't work.

Edit:
Searched a bit and I think did also compiled it incorrect. :s (i'm sorry)
Can you tell us what you did to enable the LCD?

Hi,

sorry but why you (and the others) dont use your running/favorite SD Card and add the things that are described already here?

again - hardwarelayout (wich gpio ports are connected to the hd 4478x) must match the software.
In the link is everything you need and described.

(I dont see any hardware layout in his vid)

That's because your revering site is not working on PicorePlayer.
PicorePlayer is a Tinycore boot in RAM distro so apt-get is not working and you need to write everything back into the image.
