After copying the file and renaming it overrides.cfg
I'm assuming the following:
- You have a functioning LightShow Pi installation
- You can transfer files to your RPi
- or You can SSH to your RPi
- You have created a custom playlist
After copying the file and renaming it overrides.cfg
- Open in text editor
- Scroll down to the 'playlist' section. It's around line 235 - 240.
- Find the 'playlist_path =' entry and edit it to point to your custom playlist file
- playlist_path = $SYNCHRONIZED_LIGHTS_HOME/music/christmas/xmas/.playlist
- Save your changes.
- It should apply the settings right away, but if you're also running webGUI, or you're in the middle of a song, you can try the following::
- Stop the music and light show and the microweb
- $ stop_music_and_lights
- $ stop_microweb
- Start the music and light show and the microweb
- $ start_music_and_lights
- $ start_microweb
