Programming & Scripting - Unofficial / Re: Script to download extensions+dependencies on other Linux distros

« Last post by nick65go on February 16, 2026, 02:02:53 PM »

my remark is about your code example how to download it, not about the very-good fetch.sh 

Code: [Select]

wget https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=23034.0;attach=7078without login into the forum to grab the script, wget will not work, neither in fish shell, nor in bash shell.

Code: [Select]

❯ wget https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=23034.0;attach=7078
fish: Unsupported use of '='. In fish, please use 'set topic 23034.0'.
wget https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=23034.0;attach=7078
                                                               ^~~~~~~~~~~~^

❯ bash
[abc@cachyos-HP17 ~]$ wget https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=23034.0;attach=7078

so the script is intended ONLY for TC forum members who must login. I do not think that the script is somewhere on https://github.com/tinycorelinux

My proposal to the admins, if you want to spread the TC usage/testing/adoption to other linux distro, maybe you could have a dedicated folder with "unofficial" scripts. If you already have one, but my naive me did not find that public accessible folder/place, then you could share it. Thanks.

Raspberry Pi / Re: mpg123 playing https radiostream

When it comes to streams from the web I always use ffmpeg its support https, it's supports a lot of codecs.
Works great, but it's little tricky to get it to work with the correct sink, if its HDMI or HEADPHONEJACK on the RPI.

Here my setting for Headphone Jack

Code: [Select]

ffmpeg -loglevel quiet -reconnect 1 -reconnect_at_eof 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 2 -i "$URL" -f alsa default:CARD=Headphones
And here for HDMI.

Code: [Select]

ffmpeg -loglevel quiet -reconnect 1 -reconnect_at_eof 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 2 -i "$URL" -f alsa default:CARD=b1

Hello Rich,
thank you for the quick response. Problem solved. Playing http-stream is okay.

Hi opa
If you need https, you can try something like this:

Code: [Select]

wget -O - "https://liveradio.swr.de/sw282p3/swr3/play.mp3" | mpg123 -
    [Edit]: Fixed typo.  Rich

Hi opa
Try running it like this:

Code: [Select]

mpg123 "http://liveradio.swr.de/sw282p3/swr3/play.mp3"http instead of https.

Programming & Scripting - Unofficial / Re: Script to download extensions+dependencies on other Linux distros

« Last post by Rich on February 16, 2026, 12:34:10 PM »

Hi GNUser
A question from another thread gave me an idea.
Suppose you wanted to update to a newer version of Tinycore.
Then you decide to do this:

Code: [Select]

# Create your new tce directory:
mkdir NewTceOptional
cd NewTceOptional
# Download current version of FetchExt.sh:
wget https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=23034.0;attach=7078
# Make it executable:
chmod 755 FetchExt.sh
# Create list of currently installed extensions:
ls -1 /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional/*.tcz | cut -d '/' -f 6 > Ext.lst
# Fetch the extensions from the newer Tinycore repository:
for F in $(cat Ext.lst); do ./FetchExt.sh "$F"; done
Only problem is, when it encounters alsa-modules-6.12.11-tinycore64.tcz
when downloading from a repo with a 6.18.2 kernel, it fails.

Since you are limited to the kernel versions in a repo, it makes no sense
to specify a kernel version. As it is, the script currently downloads all
versions of a kernel module extension requested. This ensures the end
user has a version that matches their system. Then tce-load selects
the correct version when loading extensions.

So my idea is, when the script encounters an extension name with
a kernel version attached, we replace that part of the extension name
with  KERNEL  so the script can process it with available versions.

Do you (or anyone else) see a problem with this?
Comments requested.

Hi together,

i have installed piCore 16 32-bit on raspberry pi3. Now im trying to play some radiostreams with mpg123.

Here is my command:

Code: [Select]

tc@radiobox:~$ mpg123 "https://liveradio.swr.de/sw282p3/swr3/play.mp3"

        free software (LGPL) without any warranty but with best wishes
[src/libmpg123/readers.c:1182] error: Cannot open file https://liveradio.swr.de/sw282p3/swr3/play.mp3: No such file or directory
main: [src/mpg123.c:731] error: Cannot open https://liveradio.swr.de/sw282p3/swr3/play.mp3: File access error. (code 22)
I get "File access error"

It’s also possible to install a 32bit uefi boot loader using the grub2-multi extension in the x86 repo.
