Raspberry Pi Player Problems - ChevyChase - 27-11-2018
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?
