Jivelite for piCorePlayer

[tcutting]

As was said, best bet is the official screen. HOWEVER, one of my instances uses a smaller screen connected via HDMI. Because it's the same resolution, things display fine, but I had to manually set the resolution on the PI configuration. It's NOT a touch screen, however, so I can't speak about that.

You could try using CustomClock to create a custom Now Playing screen.

I didn't know that this was an option, thanks.
I shall look into it.

Does anyone have a good shopping list cart for what will make a decent Squeezebox Touch replacement? There are so many LCD panels out there, and I haven't found a decent case yet that doesn't keep the Pi2 exposed in the back. I also don't know what PiCorePlayer/Jivelite supports "out of the box."

Any recommendations? I'm willing to pay to make it look nicer or more professional vs something that actually looks cobbled together.

I saw that, but I couldn't tell if it supported any HAT's.

Ah yes, of course. Maybe send 'em an email?

FWIW, I bought an IQaudIO Pi-DAC+ (http://www.iqaudio.co.uk/home/8-pi-d...411999650.html), a pimoroni Pibow audio (https://shop.pimoroni.com/collection...ts/pibow-audio - unfortunately, it's been out of stock for some time), and a 7" touchscreen with pimoroni case for it (https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/r...lay-with-frame) and they all fit together (after the removal of a few layers from the DAC case) into a somewhat neat package.
I've attached some images so you can see how it came together.

Hello ralphy, thank you for your suggestion. Great, now Jivelite shows songs or artists in Japanese perfectly! Here is my final change.

1. Save your favorite font (mine is ipagp.ttf) at: /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/optional/

2. Create a script and save it in the same directory as well (e.g. ReplaceFont.sh).

#!/bin/sh
cd /opt/jivelite/share/jive/fonts
sudo rm FreeSans.ttf
sudo rm FreeSansBold.ttf
sudo ln -s /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/optional/ipagp.ttf FreeSans.ttf
sudo ln -s /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/optional/ipagp.ttf FreeSansBold.ttf

3. Specify this script as user command in Tweaks menu of pCP.

/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/optional/ReplaceFont.sh

4. Reboot pCP.

Hi chijen - my quick guess is you might need to check the permission of ReplaceFont.sh, which should be readable and executable.

Also you might be able to find the error message of user command at the bottom of pcp_boot.log, which can be seen in 'beta' mode, on 'log' tab in 'diagnostic' menu on 'main page' of pCP.
Please share more detail if it does not work for you yet.
