Well it looks like the issue may be ethernet related. I have my wall controller connected through POE on cat 5e. It's either my POE switch or I didn't terminate the cable well enough. It's getting power but ethernet doesn't always seem to work after a power failure as we had last night. ---

Just to see if I can resolve my issue I've setup PCP running LMS to use a static IP in the Beta section. It was already assigned a static IP through OPNSense. There were some weird variables when I first used the Beta (see below). For the units using Squeezlite only I have set the static IP of LM

So the original installer of our house system, installed before I owned the home, used wire nuts to connect multiple speakers together and it's a bit ugly. Below you can see my current clean-up situation. 29677 I am thinking of either using terminal blocks to clean it up or phoenix contact wit

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who replied. I have implemented piCorePlayer in my house and it's brilliant. Here are the first two installations. I just got them installed this weekend as I had to wait for parts. I'll touch up the drywall and paint at a later date. You know something

Submitted a post thanking you guys and other info but it didn't post. I tried 3 times and it never showed-up. No profanity or anything either so not sure what's up. So a key aspect is POE and I don't need a bit 10" screen or what on my wall. ---
