Hi Noop
Just checked, The server is running , and obviously I can only check this with my pc via the gui when wired
When I disconnect it the router from it ( unwired) it just hangs.it being my iPhone
Although I can see the url through ipeng, which was or is just how you said it was with the correct url details
But It all seems to work fine when it’s wired, well for the touch, not for the iPhone
Then not wired, nothing works. AlSo the LMS on the server I guess has to be working ( because it works wired) which leads me to feel maybe there’s part of the accesspoint that’s not quite right as it seems to be that side of things that’s failing
I really also appreciate you’re working blind, and you’ve helped lots so far and have taken this up a notch so thanks.
Maybe for now this is as far as we can go, but it’s all good and I’m hopeful with another dongle things will change for the better.Alex
Hi noop
Sorry for putting you through this
What I wanted to do was use M2P in my car, connected to a 2tb ext hard drive, controlled via an access point with ipeng or the LMS app
So the server deals with the music files, the wifi, does the connection between my iPhone and server, the player plays the music to the USB then to a d-a USB to the aux of my radio
I have the following modules installed
Server
Wifi
Access point
Raspberry pi
Audio player
Xbmc
Start
And I hope all working
Ok so that’s the aim and set up I haveUnwired ipeng does see the wifi at the address where you said, 192.168.189.1.9000 and the ssid which is the default max2play
But that’s it
If I put this in my browsers, it times out and does not connectIt only works when it’s hard wired for some unknown reason
Hence why I think there is potentially still a wifi issue, but that’s a guess from someone is not very savvy in this areaI just hope after all this is not an issue with the driver, ie me 🙂

dmesg prints a time based log of system messages. The most recent messages are at the bottom of the file. You could for any errors/warning/info regarding hostapd or wireless authentication, etc, that might be useful. The stuff that flies by at the beginning are older messages.
An alternate command to try is:tail /var/log/messageswhich should print similar info. „tail“ prints the end of the the file.
tail -50 filenameprints the last 50 lines etc…tail -f filenamemonitors the file and dynamcially prints the end of the file as it grows.
Cntl-C to terminate. /var/log/messages is the file where system messages are logged.Alex:
I found this recipe for setting up access point. I have not tried this myself. You could try if you wish.
Use the RT8188CUS dongle. I would recommend installing the minimum addons (not accesspoint of course), then running this.
Then test if the accesspoint is working.
1 you see the ssid
2 you can connect to the ssid
3 you can get access to the m2p webpage on the PIwget "http://raspberry-at-home.com/files/ap_setup.sh" chmod +x ap_setup.sh sudo ./ap_setup.shThe reference web site is:
http://raspberry-at-home.com/hotspot-wifi-access-point/`Hi noop,
Ok I have just added the code you sent me after reformatting the M2p sd cardIt bricked the Pi the first time so I redid again ( formatted the card) and although it didn’t brick it, all I got was the same as before, I could see the M2P address through ipeng but that’s it.
So I tried to swop dongles but that didn’t work either. But once again when I plug into the lan it works perfectly.
As another last chance siuation, I’ve not got my oldold Pi out and im having a go at that. But boy is this fun !
Thanks for your help again noop , in the meantime I will try and work out what’s happening , not sure I’ll get anywhere fast!!
