Control Jivelite by rotary encoders and buttons
Your display has no touch function and you want to control jivelite by hardware? Here is the solution.
How to control Jivelite by rotary encoders and pushbuttons.
Thanks to chill for the sbpd-script.sh script (pirate-audio amp).
- You can simply control jivelite by adding rotary encoders and/or pushbuttons to the GPIO’s of your Raspberry Pi.
What we need
- A running piCorePlayer with Jivelite installed and a display connected to your Raspberry Pi
- Some pushbuttons (normally open)
- One or two rotary encoders (for this purpose, do not use encoders with power supply!)
- Some jumper wires (female to bare wires)
- Soldering iron, solder
- Some heat shrink tubes
Preparation
- The
sbpd-script.shhandles with Jivelite key commands. Knowledge of these commands is an advantage.

Raspberry Pi Zero W with HDMI TV and Jivelite
This project is to install piCorePlayer onto a Raspberry Pi Zero W and connect it to a Panasonic TV via HDMI. Also, we would like to add Jivelite for displaying “Now Playing” information.
Warning
Since the introduction of the Raspberry Pi 4B, the HDMI configuration has changed and is continually being developed. This has resulted in a simple piCorePlayer configuration becoming a lot more complicated.
