Internet radio

[woody007]

Hi everyone, i,m a noob and have just built a internet radio with touchscreen following the tutorial on adafruit. Everything works fine but need to know how I can get this to start up on boot up.
The way I have tried is to create a folder called bin which is stored in the pi section. I have then inputted a start up script as follows:-
#!/bin/bash
# Script to start our application
echo "Doing autorun script..."
sudo /home/pi/pi-radio python radioplayer.py &
Then I test it with the command /home/pi/bin/script_auto_run, but all I get is command not found or file doesn`t exist.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please

Hello

I'm no expert but this looks like it could be a problem

Code: Select all

sudo /home/pi/pi-radio python radioplayer.py &

try...

Code: Select all

sudo python /home/pi/pi-radio/radioplayer.py &

Many thanks Bullwinkle, for your reply but still no luck.
I get the message sudo: /home/pi/pi-radio : command not found followed by python: cant open file radioplayer.py : [Errno 2] no such file or directory.

hi
from the command line can you try.

Code: Select all

cd /home/pi/pi-radio
sudo python radioplayer.py &

does this work ?

Yea that works fine, but really want it to boot up straight into the radio player on boot up.

If you put those 2 lines in the bottom of .rclocal (found in the /home/pi directory) you should be good to go...

I have a similar set up and it is working ok...

Looked for rc.local in directory but could not find it. Is it a file, folder or what. All files are shown, do I have to create it.
Sorry Bullwinkle but you seem to be the only one to help me.

The file is in /etc so it's '/etc/rc.local'

It's actually the top hit when I google for rc.local

my mistake, I was doing this from memory and should have checked. Sorry about that.
The file I meant to indicate is called .bashrc
located in /home/pi
(note it is a hidden file so to edit it use nano .bashrc)
