The one reason that I have seen - I have deployed a few systems to non technical friends, and setup shortcuts on their PC/Mac, Pads, Phones for the pCP, LMS UI, LMS Settings, Material UI. Occasionally they will do something like unplug the router, or maybe a firmware update is pushed, then the router reassigns the IP, and none of their links work. I have yet to convert them over to static to prevent that. I know where to do it, but not really how (i.e. how to fill out all the fields).

Jim, I am curious, what is the "good technical reason"? I'm just curious because I would like to know, and because perhaps the picore "how to"'s should be updated to reflect this?

Re: [slim] PiCore
There are two stages in WiFi connection. First is the SSID connection to the WiFi Access Point or Router and second is the acquisition of IP address from DHCP server and connection to the network subnet. If you attempt to give the Pi a static IP address you simply will not be able to tell whether it is working or not or more accurately when it fails which bit you should troubleshoot. Its fairly common for WiFi to be up but the client cant receive an IP address for some reason or other.

Another good reason to go reserved IP address at the router is if your target device is offline and some other device connects the router the router may assign the static IP address you've set in your player. Then when you bring the player back online you would have an IP address conflict with the other device. This won't happen when using the reserved IP address method at the router.

I'm sorry, but who the hell allows their DHCP server to hand out addresses in the same range as the static addresses they use?

Re: [slim] PiCore
There are indeed lots of routers that will only allow a reservation -inside- their reservation scope - Fritzbox as just one example - but may will allow it inside and outside. Why is a reservation better than a static? 1) if you decide to change your subnet - from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.2.0 for example - then you would effectively divorce anything with a true staic IP from the network. Using a mac address based reservation would just require a device reboot to get it back. 2) you need to change DNS servers 3) you need to change the Gateway Jim https://jukeradio.double6.net VB2.4[/B] STORAGE *QNAP TS419P (NFS) [B]Living Room* Joggler & Pi4/Khadas -> Onkyo TXNR686 -> Celestion F20s *Office* Joggler & Pi3 -> Denon RCD N8 -> Celestion F10s *Dining Room* SB Radio *Bedroom (Bedside)* Pi Zero+DAC ->ToppingTP21 ->AKG Headphones *Bedroom (TV) & Bathroom* SB Touch ->Denon AVR ->Mordaunt Short M10s + Kef ceiling speakers *Guest Room* Joggler > Topping Amp -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115873 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Setting up things like DNS servers and gateways in a central place is of course easier. I hadn't really considered that because I just run a simple home network and have never considered changing my subnet or DNS. The only issue I see with reservations is the need to discover the MAC addresses of all the devices, but I suppose that's not too onerous.

With the device connected to my network I then go into the setup for LAN and click the "Add" button which then brings up a list of all attached devices within my DHCP range. I can then select the device I want to reserve an IP address for and it brings up a dialog with the MAC address and all I have to do is override the IP address to what I want, save it and in Netgear land the router will reboot. Since my ASUS is 350 miles away I can't verify exactly how this process happens, but it's similar.

[slim] PiCore running on a 3B+ using 5ghz wifi
It sounds like the RaspPi 3B+ supports 5ghz wifi. Is there any trick to make this connection? I run both 2.4 and 5ghz in my home. For some reason I don't seem to be able to connect my Pi's running PiCorePlayer to my 5ghz network. I'm assuming I'm just doing something wrong?! Any idea where to start?

[slim] PiCore LMS - Thoughts on Library Location(s), Management, Backup?
Hi; Now that I have put together my first Pi LMS (fun!), I am thinking through how to handle the library, and I thought I would ask some opinions from others that have done it. let me explain, see the picture... 26532 I originally was running LMS on a windows machine with the library on an internal HDD. I manage the library with Media Monkey. I currently am backing the library (along with all my other files, photos, documents, etc) on a WD USB hard drive. The WD does a "smart backup" (automatic). I put together a PiCore player as a LMS only, with a USB HDD to store the library. I have retired the windows LMS. The PiCore LMS is connected to the windows computer via ethernet, although I will be working on another system where the connection will be wifi (pi LMS to windows computer). I have players (touch, boom, radio, receivers) connected via both ethernet and wifi. All works good. I have Samba setup (but no very little about it). So, when I built the picore LMS I just copied the library from the windows computer to the PiCore HDD, anxious to get the hardware working. Now that it is working I am trying to figure out where to maintain the library and how to back it up/share it. Some options: 1) Maintain it on the windows computer and mirror the drive to the PiCore (how?). The backup would still be from the windows computer to the WD 2) Eliminate the windows files and just maintain it on the PiCore LMS hard drive. Maybe just rip/download to windows drive (or not), but run media monkey on the piCore drive? Also, point the WD backup drive to the library on the piCore LMS 3) something in between, or something I haven't thought of? It would be nice to have something "slick". It doesn't necessarily need to be automatic. Data transfer, library scan speeds are a consideration. Some thoughts would be appreciated. Please note that I am relatively new to pi and an electronics guy, not a linux or IT guy.

Re: [slim] PiCore LMS - Thoughts on Library Location(s), Management, Backup?
My piCorePlayer running LMS has a wired connection to the router. The files are held on a QNAP NAS which is also wired to the router. I have a 2 Tb WD Hard Drive connected to the NAS by USB and which backs up the files at midnight daily. I manually back up to another WD drive roughly monthly and keep that in my office at work. I make another backup to a WD WiFi drive that also has LMS installed. So, rather than being a backup, it's really a second copy that I use in my office. The NAS and Pi run 24/7.

I suppose I could mimic your arrangement if I treated the routerPiHDD as a drive path for the windows computer. I suppose I could rip using the computer with the Pi HDD as the destination, and use Media Monkey with this drive path, but I worry about performance. Maybe I'll try just pointing media monkey to this drive path and see what happens. Then I could rip to the PC (or download), transfer new music to the Pi HDD, and run media monkey on that drive, and rescan lms after.

Expose the USB drive attached to the Pi as a network share via Samba Map the drive on your Windows PC and point media monkey at it. Should all work but the issue is backup. A NAS makes the backup task easy as youd just connect a USB drive and click a few boxes to schedule a backup.

I posed the question as a "what are people doing?" so that I don't adopt something foolish when there is something elegant available. It appears the answer is NAS. But, the question of using media monkey directly with the Pi HDD (performance, practical?) has been answered, thank you, I'll give it a try. It also seems like the library doesn't need to be on the PC anymore. I am going to resist the NAS for now. As I mentioned (and in another thread), I have two locations, and will set up identical pi (LMS only) systems (just pi with USB HDD), and carrying the HDD back and forth to mirror any changes. No VPN because I spend weeks to months at one place while the other is vacant - shut down as much power as possible. I mention this because in essence, the HDD's are backups for each other. In fact, with 3, one can be the traveler. My other thought is to try the western digital "smart backup" software (on the PC) pointed to the Pi HDD, and see what happens. again, everybody's input is very much appreciated!

Id expect it to work in any event. I would not try backing up using the PC by reading the Pi USB HD. Id expect problems.

I use media monkey for ripping, tagging and organization, adding artwork, etc. Rip to FLAC using MM, make sure the artist tag matches the others for the same artist (e.g you don't have "Beatles" and "The Beatles" with some associated with each). Once it looks good and is in it's right place, it's ready for a LMS scan. Not sure its the best thing to do, but it's what I adopted when I got my first duet and started the process of ripping the 100's of CD's Understand your second point. Right now I am looking into "Sync Toy" with the thought of maintaining the "working library" on the PC, and mirroring it to the pi HDD's. The process being: rip to PC library (or download), clean up in MM -> run sync toy (update pi LMS library) -> rescan LMS. I could then have the computer backup to the external HDD as usual. Unfortunately, Sync toy being new to me, it doesn't see the LMS HDD, even though windows does: 26539 so, I have to work through this... Thanks for your input!

Re: [slim] PiCore LMS - Thoughts on Library Location(s), Management, Backup?
yea, the wonders of forums ;), I found others with a similar issue, and I just had to cut/paste the address (\\PiCoreLMS\PiCoreLMSfiles\~) rather than use browse. Sync Toy browse doesn't like the drive maps. It now works. so, my plan (until I get a better plan) is to just use the PC as I always do, with my "working library" on the PC (on M: drive), use sync toy to echo the changes to the pi USB HDD, rescan the pi LMS. The WD USB drive will back up the "working library" along with all my other files, as currently. Then, when I build the system for the second location, I can use sync toy to mirror the working library to the pi HDD, and transport mirrored HDD's to and from. Works for now.

Re: [slim] PiCore LMS - Thoughts on Library Location(s), Management, Backup?
Just check First that when you use the PC to write a file to the Pi HD that LMS can subsequently scan and read it OK Linux uses users/groups and file permissions in a different way to Windows It will probably work but worth checking before you use synctoy to automate it Also have you checked that LMS can write to the playlist folder?

Re: [slim] PiCore LMS - Thoughts on Library Location(s), Management, Backup?
I do something very simple. I use "free file sync" (similar to synctoy) to keep the USB drive I attach to my rPi up to date with my main library. 1. remove USB drive from rPi (while all is off) 2. connect USB drive to my windows computer. 3. use freefilesync to mirror the contents of my main music library to the USB drive. Only changes are made, so after the first time it is very fast. 4. Remove USB drive from windows computer and reattach to rPi. 5. restart rPi, and go into LMS > settings > scan for new and updated.

Re: [slim] PiCore LMS - Thoughts on Library Location(s), Management, Backup?
I thought I would post an update in case someone's search lands on this thread. As it turns out, for me (windows 7, 64 bit), Sync Toy was successful in identifying which files needed to be "echo'ed" (one way, PC HDD -> Pi HDD, the action I have chosen to do), but when I tried to execute the sync, every file that needed to be overwritten failed due to an "access denied" error. I searched forums, tried this and that, and finally followed the advice in may of the forums, switch to "FreeFileSync". Not only can you pick a folder on the Pi share with a browse, but the sync overwrite actually works. Again, I realize that I have created a multistep process for each library update, but my intent is to get something working then look to streamline/automate. YMMV, but I thought I would mention this and perhaps save a bit of headache for someone.

I've not even bothered with the samba, but that's a better approach, particularly if the pi is buried in the back of a cabinet or something. freefilesync is very useful though for lots of options. *Home:* VBA 4TB (2.4)>LMS 7.9.1>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.4)>LMS 7.9.1>Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (Radio WIFI) *Office:* Win10(64)>LMS 7.9.2>Squeezelite *The Wild (no internet): *PiCorePlayer 4.0 on rPi 3B+, hifiberry Dac+Pro, 4TB USB (LMS & Squeezelite) *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpa > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110007 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
