User Interface

[diode84]

Hello Everyone
Just been given a Pi 1, am totally new to Pi and loaded runeaudio rpi 0.3 beta. My question is does it have a GUI that comes up on the tv screen. If not do you do one that does.
Thanks

Hi diode84,

please read this.

You also can try this version

Your Pi1 isn't the best version from a performance perspective.

Thanks Frank, I know the P1 is not ideal but all I have until I sound the Pi out.
Also I did read what you advised and to me it was a bit ambiguous, it could be my brain but has it any internal user interface or must it always be played on the web interface.
Thanks

Your best bet with a Pi1 is to use the web interface from your phone or PC for performance reasons also the local interface was designed to be used with a touch screen so mouse support is limited unless you change some settings in a config file to get the mouse pointer to show up other wise you are navigating blind

Hi diode84,

The version which Frank suggested (V0.5b) for the Pi1 does not have a local display function built in. We tested it, but none of the Pi1 models (including Pi Zero and Pi B+) were powerful enough to run the required software. As Cyborg_delta1 suggests, using a smartphone, tablet or computer as a remote control is the best option for this model.
The Pi2 models (Pi 2B, Pi 3B and Pi 3B+) all work fine with the local display via HDMI. Setting up a touchscreen is also possible.

Thanks everyone I will give up Runeaudio on my P1. I may get a later Pi at some time in the future.
I know a web interface works but am not keen on using two devices unless I am in another room.
I really want to make a poor mans SONY HAP-S1, with a screen, connected to the audio system and controlled by a remote controll. I

I had the issue with the invisible mouse cursor after adding a non-touch screen monitor, keyboard and mouse and turning on the local browser setting. The change that made it visible was removing "-use_cursor no" from the following line in /root/.xinitrc:

Code: Select all

matchbox-window-manager -use_titlebar no -use_cursor no &
