config.ini not found

[Daveolw]

Followed instructions and created config.ini file using "/home/pi/.camplayer/config.ini" but it puts it in "/home/pi/camplayer" ie no fullstop before camplayer. what is the fullstop for and why can it not find the config.ini.

Full stop is a method in Linux/Unix to casually hide files and directories (nothing to do with camplayer)
Normal commands do not show the files, if their name starts with .
Also, it is a part of the name, so unique. Therefore camplayer is a different folder then .camplayer

You can see the files if you use ls -a instead of ls (or ls -al instead of ls -l)

For the rest, you just use it as a normal character. So vi ~/.camplayer/config.ini (where ~ means your home directory)
