What happened?

When looking at the web page, no cover was shown.
Further analysis revealed that settings/Latest_Folder_Played was empty.
This was imho due to this line in scripts/playout_controls.sh:

937         sudo echo ${FOLDER} > ${PATHDATA}/../settings/Latest_Folder_Played

First of all: echo is a shell-builtin, so running it as root has no effect, however, attempting to run it as root will fail and the echo will not be done! Second: the output redirection is done as the current user which is afaics user pi!
I added a file /etc/sudoers/pi with contents pi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

As a second consequence, shutting the Phoniebox down using a button did not work for the same reason.

I am a (now retired) CS engenieer, so I may have thought to be more clever that it should have been necessary and thus may have made errors during installation.
