I've lost track....can anyone provide the path for the current 7" image? The last image that I see reference to sends me to a onedrive location that I cannot access. I have time to test and integrate today and would like to give it a first pass...

Thanks

Hi Linzomatic,

yes the file is on onedrive

What is the problem?

Thanks Frank,
The link is taking me to a OneDrive login page and asking for credentials.

Thanks for your help...
The onedrive response didn't make sense to me so I went to a PC that I don't normally use for my personal OneDrive and was able to get to the image.

Thanks for your work on this....this is exactly what I was looking for to get the most from Rune and a local browser.

More to follow...

Hi Linzomatic,

don't forget to do a git pull and to modify the local settings as described .

The HiFiBerry DAC is a line level output rather than a headphone amp.

The IQaudIO Pi-DAC+ is advertised as having a built in headphone amp which works fine with my headphones (Bose QC3).

For the benefit of the dummies like me:

1) Get current image from http://1drv.ms/1RGeO03
2) Write to SD (USB Image Tool)
3) Find files (WinSCP)
4) Edit /boot/config.txt (remove the # in front of my soundcard) to get sound card working
5) Update /root/.local/share/midori/styles/local-styles.css with version on page 11
6) Browse to MyPiLANaddress/dev and click the git pull button to get everything up to date
7) Reboot
8) Turn on default browser in RuneAudio/settings
9) Switch to soundcard output in RuneAudio/mpd
10) Plug in USB HDD with music

PLAY

Worked for me!!!!

Have I missed out anything vital or useful such as :
- expand the root partition to full SD capacity
- update Pi firmware with rpi-update

I had to use 2 power supplies to avoid the power warning square - screen, Pi, HiFiBerry Dac+ and USB HDD seems too much for any of the 2A power supplies that I have.
Does anyone have a single one that will definitely power all this lot?

Big thanks to Frank

TJH and Frank
Thanks for the info.

I have a few Pi's on hand and one of them has the same config that you have used and have successfully powered it with a 5v/2.5A supply I had purchased with a USB hub. Your USB HDD may be the difference. I am using a 2.5 inch version through the USB hub.

I have sucessfully been running the RPI2 0.3 Beta for months but cannot get the 201511062GB image to boot. I've tried different SD cards and reloaded those same cards with the old image successfully.

When I boot the Pi with the new image, it immediately goes into the 7 green flash error routine.

As I write this, I am now wondering if the new image is compatible with RPI2?

If yes, any ideas to troubleshoot the inability to boot? As I said the RPI2 runs the released beta image perfectly.

Thanks
