Feature requests & roadmap / Re: Flickr simplicity screensaver on a custom picture folder

I don't think there is a need to create a copy. Mount it as lmce share, put a softlink to the real pictures, and UpdateMedia should find them, add them to the list, and give you the option to select them from web admin.

What do you mean to fill picture branch only?

When you specify a storage space to have the LinuxMCE structure, LinuxMCE creates the directories that it wants to see, ie. public/data/video,audio,pictures etc. - In your case, you would create a softlink from the picture subdirectory to your existing photo directory. That way, you have access to your photos in LinuxMCE, without cluttering LinuxMCE with additional media files you have laying around outside of the LinuxMCE structure.

And instead of adding all files to the screensaver which is rarely wanted, you'd just the select the ones you want in the photo part of web admin.

If you add a share point with the LMCE directory structure, and only have the picture branch filled, all the other media files would be ignored. Works nicely for me.

Periodically, disk space gets checked. Probably a coincident.

Most probable cause are files in /home/coredump and/or /var/log/pluto - files in /home/coredump's subdirectories can safely be deleted, the logfiles as well, but sometimes you need to restart the server afterwards.

Awaiting the results patiently :-)

Rebuilding the image is one thing. The other thing what I quite often do, when a media director acts up strange is, I change one character in the hardware address of the MDs device data, quick reload the router, and reboot the MD in question. It gets redetected, and it has another chance at being created correctly. And always follow rule #1 :-)

Did you do the rpi install after or before the truetype font install?

What version Raspberry do you use, and what raspberry install method did you choose?

As you already have most stuff done, all you need is disable the start of the Media Director part on the core. The needed setting is in /etc/pluto.conf

After that you need to manually add a user and a room in web admin, and you are good to start the MD for the Raspberry Pi, and run the Sarah wizard there.

Do what I do, run the core without X, and have your MD in an extra machine (for example a Raspberry Pi) - total power usage shouldn't change much.

See if anything is changing the routes on it.

The days that nVidia gfx cards where the goto cards, are imho, long gone. See if you can get something with an Intel chip, or if it is a MD only, go and get a Raspberry Pi.

IME segfaults have very often pointed to faulty hardware.

Sounds like waiting is a good option :-)

We don't have pulseaudio atm, iirc.
