Easiest way is to remove and then reinstall. But you can leave the old version.....it should be fine.

Many thanks for speedy reply - yes it appears to be working fine.

Yes, and it showed no error. Also tce-load - wi alsaequal.tcz Shows it is installed..

32 bit was working fine. The libraries were in the wrong spot on 64 bit, the extension has been fixed. Please update.

It would really be helpful if you give system details when reporting problems.

I will remember.

I think there's supposed to be a function pcp_rpi_is_rpi4 defined in WWWROOT/cgi-bin/pcp-rpi-functions, but it isn't. It is referenced in writetohdmipwr.cgi.

Code:

Powering off HDMI.../usr/local/etc/init.d/pcp_startup.sh: line 788: pcp_rpi_is_rpi4: not found
sh: 1: unknown operand
 Done.

When I try to set the CPU affinity for the squeezelite-output thread, there's an error in the bootlog:

Code:

[ INFO ] Starting Squeezelite player: Squeezelite...
taskset: invalid option -- 'c'
BusyBox v1.31.1 (2020-12-18 22:35:49 EST) multi-call binary.

Usage: taskset [-p] [HEXMASK] PID | PROG ARGS

Set or get CPU affinity

	-p	Operate on an existing PID
 Done.

The relevant function is pcp_squeezelite_taskset

Thanks pputzer,

I removed lots of functions from pcp-rpi-functions for pCP7.0.0 as they were not being used and were causing extra work each time PRF added a new RPi. Now it just a matter of adding one line of code for each new product. As pCP is getting bigger and bigger, some of the original decisions made 6 years ago don't make sense. Now it is more important to make things manageable.

Anyway, at the same time Paul used one of these "unused" functions in a seldom used bit of code. I thought he fixed and he probably thought I fixed.

regards
Greg

Reported earlier. Busybox keeps changing applets.

Ah yes, I didn't search to be honest. In my case it's on a 3B+, so there is a need for CPU isolation. What's the 'c' flag supposed to do?
