Yes, I think you can do most of that. You will need to install Logitech Media Server onto the Pi as well as squeezelite as the links to Spotify etc are done in that part of the ’system‘, but you can access music files on any disc that you can mount, and you can have multiple mounted ‚disks‘ I use commercial app for Andoid phone control called Orange Squeeze, it’s excellent. I’ve not tried anything to do with Video so Netflix may be the one thing it can’t do… however there is a Netflix plugin, but not sure what it actually does:

One thing you can do with the RPi, is keep several different cards for different jobs, so my ‚holiday music server‘ is used for completely different jobs when I’m not actually at work.
1. August 2018 at 14:09 #36808I eventually sorted it out by re-flashing my card, and then linking to a different access point, the software then downloaded fine, and I got the encoder working, though mine also required a +5v feed, so it’s a four wire installation.
Just need to do the physical installation, and find a suitable knob, and my project is almost complete.
23. Juli 2018 at 18:43 #36744Very useful, many thanks. I’ve now located the wpa_supplicant.conf file in /opt/max2play/ and manually edited it to add in a second wireless access point.
However, it still doesn’t work! So I suspect it may not be possible to add this functionality, with my level of knowledge/expertise!
22. Juli 2018 at 16:16 #36723I’ve now SSH’d in to my ZeroW and have found the wpa_supplicant.conf file, and it has both networks listed, but only the one I added via the Max2play interface, so I’m wondering where the wifi details get stored by max2play?
20. Juli 2018 at 15:15 #36701My attempt to get a second SSID by using wpa_supplicant.conf method, seemed to disable the access point feature… I’ll do more experimentation, and will report.
20. Juli 2018 at 12:30 #36689Tested again last night, and it still works on the original SSID, so maybe the wpa_supplicant process hasn’t worked. I think I may try SSH into the running machine and try editing wpa.conf directly.
Does anyone know how the ‚if no wireless become an access point‘ is implemented, as I’d quite like to preserve that functionality?
19. Juli 2018 at 13:19 #36676I created a wpa_supplicant.conf file in the boot partition (the only bit I can access on my Mac), re-inserted the card and rebooted, and it’s not appearing on my network, but even worse, it seems to have lost it’s ability to become an access point if it can’t find a wifi SSID. I didn’t have chance to try it on the SSID it was working on (as that is outside in the garden, and it was night-time), but I fear that I may have broken it.
I can always reflash the card, but it looks like the wpa_supplicant method isn’t going to work. I’ll try to SSH in and have a look at wpa.conf itself.17. Juli 2018 at 16:03 #36645The different access points are there for specific reasons, as they do limit people connected to them to different resources, but one resource that is common to all is my Squeezebox Server (LMS). As my Max2play is set up at the moment, it can connect to one of them, but whe I move to a different building, I can’t then connect without going to the interface and manually adding in the new wifi access point, and then it seem to ‚forget‘ the first one. I’d like it to behave like my phone, which just switches over to the next access point as I move about. Is this possible?
4. November 2016 at 12:09 #23663Worked this out and fixed it!
Although I selected 7.9 nightly, there was a reference to a 7.8 .deb in the box below. The 7.9 wasn’t found, so it installed the 7.8. I found a beta 7.9 on slimdevices website and used that, and all is now working.
3. November 2016 at 23:14 #23659Did this get resolved? I have just built a new Pi with Max2Play specifically as a Squeezebox server (I have one as a player already) – I’ve installed the 7.9 nightly build, but when I go to port 9000 I get nothing.
the DEBUG looks like something is very broken:
