thanks folks for your responses! first, let me clarify my goals and network configuration. since i've recentlly cut the cord, my internet connection is via mobile hotspot (galaxy s8+ running oreo 8.1). - my raspberry pi 3b+ is running raspbian 'stretch' - it has eth0 connection with static ip address, 192.168.1.23 specified in /etc/dhcpcd.conf - eth0 has NO router or gateway specification. in fact, if i do specify it, wifi will not work. i read elsewhere that the system can have only one gateway, so this make sense i suppose since when wlan0 gets its dynamic address from the hotspot, it also gets its gateway assigned as well. - my LAN has no router or switch. desktop, laptops and the pi all use the powerline ethernet adapters, so it's simply a backbone with no hub. i have already tried putting in a physical router but to no benefit. - when hotspot is available, pi always gets assigned 192.168.43.252 and everything is beautiful. spotify streaming works and i can play music stored on the usb stick attached to the pi. - jivelite is the interface to the soft player squeezelite, and this is "My Music" i was referring to. BUT here's the problem: - when i take the hotspot away (to downstairs to work on the desktop), of course as expected, i cannot stream spotify. - but i should be able to play local music (it's on a usb stick plugged into the pi itself), but cannot. when i click on My Music icon, it displays that spinning wheel and the statement "Connecting... to raspberryPi" or something close to it. and it times out eventually. so my goal is to be able to move the hotspot away and still be able to listen to local music. when hotspot returns, spotify and internet radio all work as expected. not a huge deal but still irritating... and i keep thinking it should just work! i hope i have described the situation a bit better this time. tomorrow, i will ssh into pi and provide the routing info. Paul, your idea about --httpaddr 192.168.1.23 is something i wanted to try. 'cause LMS has the "old" hotspot as its addr and now when the hotspot is gone, of course it won't and can't respond. do you happen to know where in Raspian the LMS execute command lies? i'm curious how LMS decides to bind to wifi addr rather than the static eth0? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pavowren's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51958 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109789 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
