d6jg/DJanGo, yes, my networking knowledge is limited but not at zero level. please consider these points: - ALL devices connect to internet via the mobile hotspot. i was very pleasantly surprised how well this works, as they say seamlessly. - even lan-connected (i.e. ethernet wired) devices use the hotspot for internet, so the raspberryPi does not have to be a router, bridge or access point. - lan is strictly private and used for direct connections to local devices, such as, printer, raspberryPi and local network storage. - without the hotspot, via a browser over lan connection, i have no trouble connecting to LMS and playing its local music. - THE (and only) problem is that at raspberryPi itself (it has a local display managed by jivelite), if i attempt to play music, squeezelite cannot connect to LMS! how idiotic is that? LMS is bound to 127.0.0.1 and the player, squeezelite, is told that its server is at 127.0.0.1. and they can talk to each other? apparently, they can since as i said, i can play music if i use a desktop browser but not at the pi itself. that is why even a networking neophyte says it's gotta be software, specifically squeezelite since it is the component that's failing! but why? time to leave networking and pick on squeezelite.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
