piCorePlayer 1.19i

pCP Team 15 April 2015 pCP 1.19i

New versions piCorePlayer 1.19i and piCorePlayer 1.19i_RPi2 are available from the download page.

Changes

  • Fixed the problem with Wifi and RPiA+ cards (did not load firmware).
  • To set up an only Wifi based system download the newconfig.cfg file from here: Downloads. Then change the Wifi section so it fits your setup and save it to your SD card boot partition (in a windows computer just save it to the SD card as it is the only partition visible in windows). Next boot the Raspberry Pi from this SD card.
  • Improved booting speed.
  • Added Jivelite support on the Tweaks page - thanks to Ralphy for providing the Jivelite package.
  • On armv6 boards (the older RPi’s) HDMI streaming now supports high sample rates.
  • On armv7 boards (the new RPi2) HDMI streaming still only support up to 48kHZ. Sorry for that but my RPi2 compiling computer crashed. Will be fixed later.

For Wifi setup on a RPi A+ this section of newconfig.cfg needs changing:

########################## Edit the variables below to setup a Wifi based system without LAN access
# Change Wifi to "on". Valid options for Encryption are "WEP", "WPA" or "OPEN"
WIFI="off"
SSID="wireless"
PASSWORD="password"
ENCRYPTION="WPA"
# End Wifi setup
