Yeah, I've read the thread, I don't know the script but if its purpose is to define a MAC address as player ID, why not define as many MAC as needed out of something (almost) completely arbitrary like "02:0a:0b:0c:0d:01", "02:0a:0b:0c:0d:02", etc.
I see quite often my pCPs start with a nil player ID these days. Somehow it boots and starts squeezelite before the DHCP server had time to react. Or a switch gets in the way. So I use -m systematically. Yes, I do use the actual MAC from the host, it is sort of a nice touch, but frankly copying the real MAC serves no purpose and I have time to do it by hand, one setup at a time. The old script (whatever it does) is definitely dead thanks to systemd's last wonderful implementation of predictable network device names. "grep wlan" no more. Your script runs on raspbian 8, but it returns junk on the machine I used, which has 2 bridges (one with a wireless interface for AP use) active. I didn't try your snippet on pCP, but between busybox and sysfs I fear there could (will) be some portability issue. So why not go arbitrary all the way? I think my proposal breaks at 255 instances... 3 SB 3 Libratone Loop, Zipp Mini iPeng (iPhone + iPad) LMS 7.9 (linux) with plugins: CD Player, WaveInput, Triode's BBC iPlayer by bpa IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Server Power Control by Gordon Harris Smart Mix, Music Walk With Me, What Was That Tune? by Michael Herger PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson AirPlay Bridge by philippe_44 WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld Auto Dim Display, SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108327
