[piCorePlayer] Turn off USB output when turning off player?

[slartibartfast]

Likely need to reference the full path to the binary.

/usr/local/sbin/uhubctl

I tried

#!/bin/sh
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Script for turning RPi3 USB output on/off when Squeezelite player is turned on/off.
# This script requires that extension uhubctl.tcz is installed.
# Enter the path to this "Power On/Off Script" on the pCP Squeezelite Settings page.
# https://github.com/mvp/uhubctl#raspberry-pi-b2b3b
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# squeezelite -S /home/tc/usb-power-on-off.sh
# 
# squeezelite sets $1 to:
#	0: off
#	1: on
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

case $1 in
    0) /usr/local/sbin/uhubctl -l 1-1 -p 4 -a 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 ;;
    1) /usr/local/sbin/uhubctl -l 1-1 -p 4 -a 1 >/dev/null 2>&1 ;;
esac

with no luck. How can I tell the state of squeezelite ($1)?

I also tried the built in "powerscript.sh" which sends the $1 state to an ssh terminal and that doesn't work either. Am I wrong in expecting that toggling the power of piCorePlayer in Material skin or the Default skin should change the state of $1 and display it in the terminal?

Just in case the arg num is wrong you should dump all args values into a file - something like

echo "All Arguments values:" $@ >/tmp/allargs.txt

Do you mean edit the script file or is there another way to do it?

I tried running that at the command line and it doesn't list any arguments in the file. How do I get it to dump the arg values?

My suggestion is in the script.

The following is my version which just creates lots of output to shows which parts of script are executed.
Squeezelite V1.9.7-1283 was tested on a Rasbian Buster
Squeezelite is standard Ralphy and has GPIO build option.
Run from command line with "-S /home/pi/myscript.sh"

NOW=$(date +"%m-%d-%Y %T")
echo "---  $NOW ---" >>/tmp/powerlog.txt

case $1 in
    0) echo "Arg dollar 1 value 0 " >>/tmp/powerlog.txt ;;
    1) echo "Arg dollar 2 value 1 " >>/tmp/powerlog.txt ;;
esac

echo "---- End run ---- " >>/tmp/powerlog.txt

I am using squeezelite v1.97-1282-pCP
Running -S /home/tc/myscript.sh doesn't work from command line. I see "-sh: -S: not found"
Adding it as a script in pCP also doesn't seem to do anything. Maybe my scripts aren't running for some reason.

You don't show your command line

The first line indicates which shell to use. IIRC pcp doesn't have a shell it uses busybox - so there may be no "/bin/sh"

There is a pcp extension called bash.tcz whic may provide "/bin/bash "which may also then create a link to "/bin/sh"

For example if I change the first line on my system to "#!/bin/badshell" I get the following message

sh:  1:  /home/pi/myscript.sh:  not found

I found a forum post saying that pCP comes with sh. Is that a bash alternative?

If I run
/home/tc/my script.sh
without the -S
I get
/home/tc/my script.sh: line 17: syntax error: unexpected word (expecting "in")
