The beast you've given birth to needs to be connected to a wireless network to play music files stored on your Pi. Once it's connected to a network, you need to bring up the piCorePlayer web gui on a PC, laptop, tablet, phone, whatever, and start LMS. Once LMS has started, the player part of your beast (squeezelite) should automatically connect to LMS. You then need to open a web browser on a PC, laptop, tablet, phone, whatever, and type in the "IPaddressofyourPi:9000" to bring up the LMS webgui, to control your player (squeezelite). *Server - LMS 7.9.2 *Pi3B+/pCP 4.1.0 25K library playlists & LMS cache on SSD (ntfs) *Study -* Pi3B+/pCP 4.1.0/pi screen/HiFiBerry DAC+/jivelite, *Lounge* - Pi2/pCP 4.1.0 > HiFiBerry DIGI+ > AudioEngine DAC1 > AVI DM5 *Dining Room* - Squeezebox Boom *Garage* - Pi3B/Pi screen/HiFiBerry DAC+/pCP 4.1.0 > Edifier R980T *Spares* - 2xTouch, 1xSB3, 1xRadio, 6xRPi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kidstypike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106833 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
