PlaatSign action needed after OS upgrade

I notest that after a Raspberry Pi Operating System upgrade the automatic console login is disabled by default. PlaatSign needs this option to start the HDMI output after a reboot. To enable this feature again, do the following steps:

– login the raspberry pi
– type “sudo raspi-config”
– Select option 3 “Boot Options”
– Select option B1 “Desktop / CLI”
– Select option B2 “Console Autologin”
– Select option “OK”
– Then reboot the Raspberry Pi.
– Now PlaatSign is working fine again.
