Syncrolight Forum

I`m having problems with the raspberry pi player which for the life of me I can`t figure out.  I keep getting the message ERRROR- Failed to open USB device every time I use the player.  The music to the show starts playing but the software doesn`t start to control the controllers. I`ve tried installing the ftdi latest drivers but with no success.  I`ve tested my cable with my laptop and it works fine from there.

What really confuses me is that it was working absolutely fine last Christmas and also a few months ago at halloween.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Are you running the player as root / super user?

Thanks Craig. I am now!
