BETA: piCorePlayer6.0.0 - PI4 support

[castalla]

Linux doesn't have a nice graphical scp tool that I've found. If you have wine installed, you can use winscp. But for a single file, commandline works just fine.

In my case, my lms server is installed in /opt on my linux box, and I just made a test file to not copy anything of importance.

paul@Devel:/opt/slimserver/prefs$ scp test.xml tc@192.168.0.30:/usr/local/slimserver/prefs
tc@192.168.0.30's password: 
test.xml                                                                                        100%    0     0.0KB/s   00:00

Okay - I'll give it a try.

I'm assuming that pcp can be run on a pi zero w ?

In nautilus (GNOME), and dolphin (KDE), sftp://USER@HOST/PATH will allow you to browse via SSH.

of course......LMS on a pizero will be a bit slow when starting/browsing the LMS interface, but it does run.

Hi Castalla,

if you want the ease of a graphical tool; 2 suggestions.
1) use a windows based host and winscp as tool. You have to copy from linux to windows and to linux again, but for a few files....
2) install MC ( via extensions on your pcp ) , and use sftp ( F9 and right or left panel and login ) to copy from Linux to linux.

If you want to stay on the CLI, think about wget too.

Thanks for hints. I have winscp running in wine.

I'm finding the initial setup rather shambolic - too many options!

Problem one: how do I disable squeezelite permanently?

Probleem two: how do I enable lame?

Problem three: I can't get 3rd party plugins to install

[sigh]

Problem one: how do I disable squeezelite permanently?

On the tweaks page

Probleem two: how do I enable lame?

This has to be manually installed.....Go to the extensions page and install the extension pcp-lame

Problem three: I can't get 3rd party plugins to install

Make sure you have expanded your partition of your SD card, so you don't run out of space. Otherwise, my guess is that you are not being patient enough for the extension to download....it is going to be slow on a pi zero.

it is going to be slow on a pi zero

I found LMS nearly unusable on RPi Zero W when I tried it

[castalla]

Yes - unfortunately, LMS is unusuable on the zero. Pity.

Thanks for all the help.

Hi

I'm using beta 6 v7 on a pi4, with picoreplayer on the sd card and lms stuff on a usb flash drive. There used to be a 'save to usb' option on the main page, but it is either gone or moved in v6.

I want an external copy of my config, for when beta 7 moves to beta 8 or to release, as the in-situ upgrade option hints I will loose everything and get a fresh install.

(Or is it sufficient to take my own copy of 'mydata.tgz' and restore it back to the sd card after an upgrade? - is this recommended?)

[paul-]

Save to USB was so outdated it was removed. I've been concepting other ways, but it can be tricky.

I can tell you that 6.0.0 when it goes final will have some major structure changes. I'm hoping that I can manage most of it through insitu update.
