Available in black, white or clear, the cases provide protection to the board and the display. The case also acts as a bezel to the display, improving its appearance while housing the board neatly behind it.

Assemble the HiFiBerry board onto the Raspberry Pi. Be careful to line up the pins before pressing them together. And, if you bought a case, put the RPi and HiFiBerry into it.

Write the OS image to the SD card you plan to put into the RPi; this is its "hard drive". On Windows, you do this using Win32Diskimager (http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/). If on Mac you"ll need to find an equivalent. NOTE: Many laptop PCs have an SD card writer built into the case. If you don"t have this, you"ll need to borrow one or purchase a USB version (https://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-MicroSD-Reader-Writer-GFR204SD/dp/B0046TJG1U). If you don"t have a microSD card (https://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-MicroSDHC-Memory-Card-Adapter/dp/B000SMVQK8), you"ll need to buy one of those also.

Insert the imaged SD card into the RPi and plug the RPi into your network using an Ethernet cable. Plug in the RPi power supply and give it a minute to boot up.

On Settings page, go to the "Information" tab. About half-way down the page you"ll see a list of all devices connected to LMS. One of these should be "piCorePlayer". Copy the IP address for piCorePlayer and open it in a new browser tab. If all has gone well, you will see the main page of piCorePlayer as running on your RPi.

At the bottom of the screen click on the tab labeled "Advanced". Now go back to the top of the page and click on "Squeezelite Settings". Go to "Choose audio output", select the appropriate HiFiBerry card, and hit the "Save" button immediately below. Next, give your piCorePlayer device a friendly name (e.g. "Living Room") and click the "Save" button for this which is at the bottom of the page.

ONLY if you plan to use this RPi wirelessly, click on the "Wifi Settings" tab and input your SSID and wifi password. Select your "Security Mode" (typically "WPA or WPA2") and click on "Save/Connect". piCorePlayer will attempt to connect to your wireless network. If successful or if not necessary, you can return to the RPi unit and unplug both the power and Ethernet cable.

Reposition the RPi player to its intended location. Connect to your DAC (Digi+) or hi-fi line in (DAC+). If wired, plug in your Ethernet cable. Plug in the RPi power supply.

Return to LMS main page and click on the drop-down box in the upper half of the right side of the screen. Select your new device and play away. You can do the same with any Android/iOS Squeezebox controller app.

These instructions also work for those using the RPi HDMI or analog outputs; just select the appropriate audio output in step 7. Also, once configured as above most issues with piCorePlayer can be resolved by unplugging power, waiting 10 seconds, powering it back up, and giving it a minute to boot.

In addition to acting as a Squeezebox player, a RPi with piCorePlayer can also run LMS as a server. If you are interested in this, post back and someone will describe how to do it.

*Some users have complained about the stability and range of the RPi 3 onboard wifi. Give it a try and, if problems, this USB wifi adapter (https://www.amazon.com/Edimax-EW-7811Un-150Mbps-Raspberry-Supports/dp/B003MTTJOY) works very well.

Very helfpul, thank you. One question, though: Is it still necessary to play with ALSA settings if you have a need to output DTS or AC-3 via HDMI or is the process detailed in post #124 at http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?105997-Announce-piCorePlayer-3-00/page13 still relevant?

I think I want to try the "LMS Server" option first, as I am having issues with my HP Microserver / WHS2011 running my LMS (keeps crashing). Is there a link "How To" for using piCoreplayer as LMS Server?

I left my HPMicroserver (too noise) for a SOC. In my case I use an Odroid for server (running Max2Play) and several Raspberry Pi with PicorePlayer (and HiFiBerry card) for player. The Odroid is switch on 24/24 without problem for more than 2 years!! I can only reccomend this configuration (Max2Play or PicorePlayer) and go ahead without trouble.

I wrote the piCorePlayer 3.21 image to the card tonight, and got the message attached. I have not a chance to research, so apologies if really lazy, but any quick pointers?

The Allo Digione is just a sound card it isn"t much use without a Raspberry pi, it"s not clear from your post that you"ve ordered or already have a Pi.

[QUOTE=kidstypike;905984]The Allo Digione is just a sound card it isn"t much use without a Raspberry pi, it"s not clear from your post that you"ve ordered or already have a Pi.

I recently purchase the HiFiBerry DAC Pro + to determine if there are any sound quality differences between using the analog connections as compared to the HDMI connections (also as a work around for an HDMI hand shaking issue that crops up once in a while). I currently have the Raspberry Pi 3 connected to the touchscreen with the jumpers and micro USB 5V 3A power supply connected to the Pi (or is it connected to the touchscreen? - I"ll have to check! :confused: ) . Anyway, what is the best method to connect the HiFiBerry to the RPi? Do I need the jumpers? How about the hardware? Do I replace the metal spaces and screws that were connect the pi to the display with the plastic connectors that are supplied with the HiFiBerry?

There is only one way to connect the HiFiBerry: via the GPIO block. The DAC board will get power from the RPi. The jumpers probably remain as they are. Once pressed together, the RPi and DAC are a tight fit so the standoffs likely won"t need to be switched out. Remember to go into piCorePlayer and set the audio output to the new board.

Remove the jumper cables, (you won"t need them), attach your HiFiBerry to the 40 pin block, get a "Y" splitter cable for power, one leg to the RPI and one to the screen. The DAC gets it"s power from the Pi.

Working great! Does anyone have any suggestions for a nice enclosure for the Rpi3 + Touch Screen + HiFiBerry DAC Pro+ ? One where the HDMI and analog outs are accessible? I currently have a nice bamboo stand, but with the extra cables and board, the combination now is a bit tipsy!

It is possible that Pcp is booting but squeezelite (the Player program) is not running for some reason, in this case the player will not show up in LMS

The Raspberry Pi shows up on the network and I can access the web UI via the I.P. I can set the sound card and rename the player, but the player never shows up listed under Player Information in the LMS settings page.

Normally, any hardware or virtual player that accesses my LMS has to specify the server and connect with a username and password. I"m not sure how the Raspberry Pi would show up as a connected player without doing so.

My situation is similar. I purchased the DesignSpark case for the screen and the RPi is inside, but I had to modify the case a bit to fit the DAC board into it. Again, like quoted above, the situation is a bit out of balance with all the cables, etc. The setup is currently leaning against my TV. Is there anyone who has good recommendations for a case or stand for an RPi including a couple of boards on the GPIO? ... or do I have to be creative and make my own legs for the thing?

One of them being the good-ole Adafruit Smartpi case - it would probably need quite some modification to fit the additional card for e.g. a DAC board.

Today I"ve published my experience with building a Raspberry Pi based Squeezebox Touch replacement (incl. the 7 inch Touch Display). Since I chose to use the DesignSpark case, it needs a little modification. You can read about it here:

I am building a PiCore LMS server (only) for a friend which is essentially going to be "plug n play", and she"s be using a Radio for playback. The intent is for the PiCore to be on all of the time, but there are instances where she might want to shutdown the unit. I had not intended for her to have to go to the Web UI, shutdown the LMS, piCore, or both, then turn power off.

If it is a problem, I am wondering if anyone has done something like a "shutdown request/complete" pushbutton/LED through the GPIO? Something we can press prior to power down, then an LED indicates ready.

I have no experience in Raspian, Linux, etc, but have years of coding experience (C, assembler) and like a good project, so maybe it will come to that.

There are also apps available which allow one to ssh into the pi and shutdown (the command is stored and executed by a simple tap or two on the device screen).

Pi 3B+. I have only played with PiCore player. I don"t know anything about LMS on raspian (but am willing to learn!). I replaced my LMS on Windows 7 with a PiCore 3B+ and a 2TB USB HDD just sitting on my desk, no enclosure. I need to build another for my cabin, in an enclosure, so I decided to build one for a friend first. So it"s basically a 3B+ with a HDD. The Power Supply (Canakit) has a power button inline.

For the player for her I chose a radio with headphone out to the stereo for the nice UI the radio has. I could have used a touch of built an all in one Pi with a touchscreen, but I had a radio laying around, and I think she would prefer the knobs and buttons.

I have access only to wpa_suplicant.conf (not: sample) because I don"t have any USB keyboard, and Pi0W haven"t Ethernet and each time I must editing this file on SD Card

For cases where there are no special characters, and the method I use, is to create wpa_supplicant.conf on the boot partition with just 2 lines and boot:

EDIT: Can people let me know if this simple 2 line method doesn"t work for their network. My network has been the same for 10 years so it maybe a case of me having blinkers on.
