Once I had Gizmod reacting to the powermate and sending commands, they were accepted by Jivelite. Sorry if I wasn't clear: I was referring to getting Jivelite and Squeezelite installed and basic navigation. Turning the Powermate? Is this some standard behaviour?

JIVELITE RASPBERRY HOW TO
I'll add a second post to discuss how to configure Gizmod on the pi a bit later. You could of course just leave jivelite alone and have the powermate scroll and enter only. Then I had to write a gizmod script to pass commands and also amend Jivelite to accept the commands: for fun I wanted the powermate to control the now playing screen. This gets to the point where you can add the Powermate and make sure linux understands it.
JIVELITE RASPBERRY INSTALL
I've added a link to the original post on how to install Gizmod to allow control of devices. Whereas on the example I built on a headless model B+ without a screen, jivelite worked fine once I had Xfvb installed and running prior to launching jivelite. On the pi with an LCD, I had to identify the resolution "fbset -v" and then choose a skin on jivelite that fitted. I think they embedded the relevant framebuffer. Please note the LCD isn't a touch screen but the people who sold me the screen provided an image that got the screen to work. This is linux so I wouldn't say it was easy but the jivelite and squeezelite installation instructions worked well. Seems straightforward I was expecting there to have been more getting the touch screen to work. So on the pi with the lcd screen I enabled autologin, booted into the console and added the following to the autologin user's. Jivelite is more tricky - it seems to rely on the console display.
As you know once it's configured it'll appear as player on the server webpage. Gerrelt's tutorial describes how to set up jivelite to start automatically. You can control from an attached keyboard, using the keys described in this post If you're running the pi connected to a display then running Jivelite from a window on the desktop will start the application. I followed Triode's instructions in this post of the jivelite discussion thread.Īt this point you have a player and a control app. I installed on raspbian using Gerrelt's excellent tutorial located hereĢ. This is a tale of integrating three components on Raspbian.ġ. Here's the beginnings of an explanation of how it fits together.
