Jivelite is a cut down Squeezebox control application derived from Squeezebox Jive.

  • Originally developed and released by Adrian Smith.
  • Currently maintained by Ralph Irving.

piCorePlayer fully supports Jivelite on the Raspberry Pi’s Official 7" Touch Display.

Jivelite can be installed on piCorePlayer via the [Tweaks] page on the piCorePlayer web interface.

Info

This display comes with the pins unsoldered. You have to solder them yourself.

  • This display is perfect, if you want to build a small device-like player or net radio showing the title or broadcast information.
  • Together with a RPi Zero W and a HiFiBerry MiniAMP or small mono DAC/amp Audio Amp SHIM (pic below), you get a complete solution.

Info

It’s a little bit tricky get those displays running under piCorePlayer. Other spi displays like Waveshare or Spotpear, that are fitted with the same ili9341 chip, may work too with this overlay. I tested it with Spotpear 2.4 inch spi LCD.

These instructions are for a generic Raspberry Pi 3.5" display but may also give clues on how to support other displays. A big thanks to nowhinjing for his Waveshare 4.1 TFT + piCorePlayer + Jivelite tutorial which was used as a starting point.
