I tried to test a PiZero 1.3 (non-wireless) with an ENC28j60 LAN module, but I can't get it to work with PiCorePlayer 3.22. It works nicely with Raspbian. The enc28j60.dtbo file exists in the overlays folder, and I added the line dtoverlay=enc28j60 to config.txt. For a normal Raspbian setup, th

I'm not bothered by it, I was merely trying to avoid confusion about the pCP startup process. And how the MAC address is delivered to the LMS server. Your system must take over 20 seconds to get a valid Mac address. The mac address used by the LMS server does not come from any switching equip

For what it's worth, pCP does wait for the network to get a IP/Broadcast address before starting squeezelite. The timeout is set to 20 seconds. Take a look a the log (/var/log/pcp_boot.log) Code: Waiting for network... Done (11). Ev

It can be done, the setup and configuration has to be done via ssh session. I've sent instructions to some via pm. The biggest problem is that not all wifi chips support it. I've tested it with a rpi3 a few versions ago.

I've been thinking about that too, I have the iphone but not the car :) I've found 'this thread' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?107995-picoreplayer-without-network/page4) about ad-hoc mode which is not too old and might be useful. Other than that, I haven't found a true AP recipe.

Hi I would like to use my piCorePlayer with LMS and hdd with Music as a server to play the music e.g. on iPeng in my car. Is it possible, and if yes how, to configure piCorePlayer as a wireless access point, so that my iPhone can connect to it? Thanks, Rainer
