Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer on RPi Zero W - first time wifi settings
Well after all that (sock) darning. I went back a step or two. When my Kitchen Pi3b+ updated to pCPv8.2 it lost the ability to connect to Wlan - despite many attempts. So this morning downloaded v8.0 and started a new card. That worked eventually. So downloaded v8.1 which has Pi Zero 2W support and imaged that to a new card. It loads on Pi Zero ( though the HDMI in the config file had to be put in safe mode for the screen to work ) Managed to get an IP address from Wlan and did the rest of the set up incl adding the Mini Boss DAC. It's recognized by the LMS server on the Main Pi 3B+ Thanks for all the suggestions. It's much appreciated. The next part of the project is to put the Zero & Mini DAC into a vintage radio. Wish me luck.

The PiZero is currently sitting on the base of its plastic case - as that is easier to get the SD card in/out. It's all of 2ft from the router. Annoyingly, I put the Rapsian OS SD card back in this morning and that one finds the Wifi and acquires an IP address. So I don't think its the antennae or anything else but something within TC/Picore.Julian Further darn.

Hi Paul, thanks for the info, the old Apple ITunes install (was that for the Bonjour which accompanied it ?) :o I'm on Windows 10 Pro, I have no problem with moode.local, volumio.local or raspberrypi.local. I have always had problems with pcp.local, sometimes it works without a problem and other times I have to resort to IP Address. It doesn't seem to like my network. This irritates me, but as I only use pCP on one device for my personal use, I can live with it. I tend to use the raspberry PI OS for LMS and Squeezelite and play with other OS as a way of learning :confused:.

In theory, piCorePlayer should handle different formatted text files. pCP changes the EOL markers and just reads the ssid and password and creates a fresh config file.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer on RPi Zero W - first time wifi settings
Modern Windows Notepad can preserve line endings but I dont think it offers a save as choice. So if you start from a fresh file in Windows Notepad then it has Windows line endings. However, if your RPi is getting a reachable IP address then it is working. If pcp.local is not working (and you have not personalised the host name) then it implies, to me, that your Windows machine does not have mDNS support. For older versions of Windows, installing Apple iTunes is one way to get it. (not checked back to see which version of Windows you are running).

I used Notepad on a Windows computer to make the wpa_ file. I also

It doesn't happen on my system. I guess its a function of your DHCP settings. My IP addresses remain fairly consistent until there is a power failure.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer on RPi Zero W - first time wifi settings
Hi Alan0, When you have "# Maintained by piCorePlayer" in your wpa_supplicant.conf initially on your boot partition, pCP just reads your SSID and password and creates a new wpa_supplicant.conf. So as long as you get the ssid= and psk= lines correct it should work. We do this because we assume most people will make a typo or formatting error. For example, castalla's example has the last } missing. :D As I know this, my initial wpa_supplicant.conf are just this. Code: ssid="yourssid" psk="password" Once you have Wifi working you can go into the [Wifi] page and type your a password again, add the country code, then press [Save]. This will create a new wpa_supplicant.conf with the country code added plus it will encrypt your password so you don't have your password stored as plain text. regards Greg Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112765 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer on RPi Zero W - first time wifi settings
Just create the wpa supplicant file in the boot partition. Change
country to your location
Use a text editor
# Maintained by piCorePlayer
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=staff
# Two Character Country Code
country=US
update_config=1
network={
ssid="yourssid"
psk="password"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
auth_alg=OPEN
Then boot the pi zero. Check the IP address the pi receives from your
router. Use this address (eg. 192.168.0.123) in a browser to get the
PcP dashboard

[SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer on RPi Zero W - first time wifi settings
I'm new to piCorePlayer and am attempting to set it up on a RPi Zero W with an Allo MiniBoss DAC board. This hardware setup has worked with Volumio, but I'd like to give piCorePlayer a try after hearing about it from a John Darko article. My problem is a basic one: I cannot get the system to connect to my wi-fi, using the two methods on the how_to_setup_wifi_on_pcp_without_ethernet page. 1. When I use the setup program with a keyboard and monitor, the settings appear to be saved. After rebooting, I get "Waiting for network...No network found", and the boot process gets stuck trying to set the date and time (I assume with a service that it can't reach). When I run setup again, the wi-fi settings are blank. Should they still be there, or are they just for one time use? 2. When I create a custom wpa_supplicant.conf file on the SD card, I get similar results. The wi-fi settings appear to be loaded and the system reboots a second time when starting up. I get "Waiting for network...No network found", and the process hangs up in the same way trying to set the date. I noticed after booting that the file has been renamed to "used_wpa_supplicant.conf" on the SD card. I've tried the suggestions on the faq_wifi_does_not_work page, like removing the DAC board and verifying the SSID and password. The wi-fi is built into my RPi, so I don't think it's any of the USB adapter issues. Any help would be most appreciated. -Alan0 Alan0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70538 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112765 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
