Hi, the pCP Team is nearing the completion of the release of a new piCorePlayer 3.20. Because of the many significant kernel changes, improvements and bug fixes we decided to offer a public beta. Anyone is free to try the beta, but if you find a problem please post diagnostic data.
Both version are ready for testing.
Notes piCorePlayer3.20beta5 which is a normal version like all previous pCP releases. The kernel and modules are mostly vanilla versions from the official Raspberry Pi Linux source with only a couple of tweaks.
pCP 3.11 is a small bug fix version with the following improvements.
Changes Added Workgroup field to Samba Setup. Added Additional gateway and DNS options to Static IP setup for wired Ethernet. Updated HDMI configuration to work with Shairport-sync. Added [HotFix] button to the [Main Page] to make the next hotfix easier. (See below) For current users, we are trying a different way of deploying small little hotfixes.
