    Hi Simon

    I have to shoot off to a meeting and not properly read your message , but when I first tried it, I get to my car and I switched on my iphone to connect to my M2P,it did’nt connect at first because my iphone was hooked into my home network, so just note that for one point

    The second point is on my iphone when I connect it comes up with the M2P main web page, top right it says cancel, if you cancel and god knows why, but if I don’t get the timing right, ie hit the cancel too soon or too late, nothing happens, if I get it right, another pop up appears with two opitions, do I want to connect without the internet or with. You pick without..

    AND, just to confuse you even more, if I leave mine (as long as I have already connected once) after its‘ booted and settled, it allows me in and I can just play my music…I wonder if yours is working, its just getting the hang of driving it, if this makes sense

    By the way I’m using the LMS (Logitech Media Server app) which seems to work ok, but for the one in the house I use ipeng, just so you know.
    There’s other media players you can get too if the user and password is a problem, well if I have got this right, that you could use where you don’t need any passwords, I think kodi is one such player

    As for the command (dos) prompt, I can’t honestly remember even looking at my instructions again here. But I’m sure was open the putty and copy and paste those commands, and it worked, well once I figured out what it was doing as above.

    But remember to Log in first using the conventional way via the M2P way, then do the dos commands

    As for your DAC, I have read a lot of very good reviews about them and, if I get once it will be one of those so thanks for the confidence boost and gald you’ve at least got it working in one form and I agree for what it is, it’s an amazing piece of kit..

    Ok its my meeting time better go

    Good luck Simon

    Hi Simon

    Sorry I’m not going to be much of a help because I like you I’m very novice in this area.
    But as for pasting from this text to the putty „dos prompt“, I just did a copy/paste from this page to my dos prompt and it work. It really should work for you too.

    What you are getting Simon, are you unable to see the password (in accesspoint) because that is what I was getting, amongst other things..

    Then Noop, sent me the script above and it just worked, prior to that I also had issues with my dongles too. Even the edimax, the recomended one did’nt work „as an access point“..

    If you can’t copy paste the script, yes you have to enter line by line. Try that. If that fails I just wish I could help more but I feel I may do more harm than good.

    You will get there, keep trying. I know this is’nt what you want to hear, mine in now in my car and its pretty impressive, try and hang on in there, you’ll feel its worth it.

    That said I do have a problem with my audio, it „pops“ most but not every time when its switched on, I’ve not had time to check this out yet but i@m hoping its the DAC, which was less than a uk £1, but did’nt want to invest money until I knew it was working.

    I hope you get sorted

    Hi Simon

    I put this together for a friend just after I got mine working (and to remind me how we did it), I hope you can follow it, but it’s Noop who deserves full credit for this, I was just following his instructions.

    Here goes and good luck hope it works for you

    How I installed Max2play.

    Installation Preparation (read this first before installation, and the **** below to get a feel of whats needed before you start, it just helps to understand the procedure)

    Please note, this was to resolve my accesspoint issues which I had MAJOR problems with.

    Problems were, not all dongles work as an access point, and when I did get one that should have worked it was faulty, so you just have to be aware and lastly Noop also found there was a bug in M2P accesspoint plugin module too.

    But Not everyone had problems with that particular dongle, very odd, I did !
    YOU might have no issues at all, hopefully not

    Anyhow a great little programme to use is Putty. Install this before you start, it’s very useful as it allows you to run the commands later on in this set up on your Pi.
    With putty, you can also cut and past between windows, This means you don’t have to type any of the commands into the command prompt, just cut and paste using Ctrl V each time for cutting and pasting

    You can find Putty here http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

    When you are ready to start your installation Load and run Putty.exe.

    Once loaded ensure your Pi (M2P) is hard-wired (at this point) into your Lan, switched on and running.

    When Putty is loaded, you will be presented with a DOS type screen, this is what I call the command prompt, at this point, put in your IP address of your SWITCHED ON Pi 192.168.1.XX
    Then when asked, enter your user and passwords (Pi then Raspberry) to get into your Pi. Once in, leave this screen open as this is where all commands will be entered and run (just shrink the screen for now).

    It may also be a good idea at this point to register your M2P account before you start your installation, you need to register for a premier account, this gives you access to your accesspoint plug in and other plug-in modules

    Its also worth noting if all works, the least you need to do are actions 1 – 8 to get is working in its basic form. Actions 9 -11 just offer a way to check your connection/set up so far.

    If all is good at this point and all is working, jump to No 13, 14, 15. If not, then run No 12 and then 13, 14, 15

    Remember you need to know your ip address of your Pi so you can get to M2P via your browser once switched on

    Please note:

    After each module is installed, you will be asked to reboot, make sure you do otherwise the plugin’s may not be installed properly, EVEN if you are not prompted to do this DO IT !!

    The Plugin’s will/should be sat across the top of the GUI page on switch on except for the Raspberry and Access point plug-in’s

    Installation (at this point only your lan and power supply should be connected)

    1. Burn a new image (min 8gb SD card), plug it into your Pi and switch on and navigate to your PI’s IP address using your browser, this will present you with the main Max2play Gui page, from here you will do all setting up
    2. Expand your new image in (Settings/Reboot plug-in )
    3. Update M2P in (Settings/Reboot plug-in)
    4. Increase the USB current via the Raspberry Settings plug in. To do this you can either install the pi plug in by going to the
    squeezebox server module where you can enter your registered email account, (after this the Raspberry Pi module should be in view at the top of the page you opened). Another way is go to the Pi command prompt and enter
    at the prompt, max_usb_current=1 (remember if you want to do this via the command prompt, just open Putty and enter it there (Cut & Paste), then shrink Putty again)
    I opened a M2P account previously and did this part via the Raspberry Plug.

    Once done continue with the installation

    5. Plug in the wifi dongle**.
    6. install wifi.
    7. install access-point*.(then reboot)
    8. remove power and then apply power.
    9. On your IOS device***, set-up -> wifi (after a few minutes) should show an available network with SSID “max2play” (or whatever you set it to)
    10. Try to connect to this network, if you get an error, “forget” the network, and re-try (you will prompted for password in this case).
    11. If connected, on the IOS device use safari or chrome and browse the PI at: http://192.168.189.1/ , you should see the max2play page, so it should be working at this point
    ONLY if there is a problem with the wifi, do the following

    12. login to the PI command by opening Putty and execute these commands: (remember you can cut and paste)

    cd /tmp
    wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/we0d928vfddovia/interfaces.192.168.1.0
    sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.orig
    sudo cp interfaces.192.168.1.0 /etc/network/interfaces
    sudo chown root:root /etc/network/interfaces
    sudo chmod 666 /etc/network/interfaces

    After installing this, check the following as you did previously as below 12a – 12c

    12a. On your IOS device, set-up -> wifi should show an available network with SSID “max2play” (or whatever you set it to)
    12b. Try to connect to this network, if you get an error, “forget” the network, and re-try (you will prompted for password in this case).
    12c. If connected, on the IOS device use safari or chrome and browse the PI at: http://192.168.189.1/ , you should see the max2play page.

    If successful carry on installing the rest of the plug-in’s in this order

    13. Install Squeezebox Server (click on show available versions, click 7.9 nightly, click install)
    14. Install Audio Player (and plug in the USB DAC or other before installing the audio player)
    15. Plug in your ext hard drive and scan contents via Squeezebox Server plug-in (go to webadministration tab)

    It takes time for your m2p to scan your data, so leave it running for as long as it takes, mine took overnight.

    Now it should all be working correctly

    If you have photos/films/music on your M2P HD, and need to access them via kodi on your tablet, run the M2P kodi plug-in and follow these instructions

    http://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-Mobile-Media-Center-with-Smartphone-C/?ALLSTEPS
    (please note, I have not done this at the time of writing this, it was from memory before Christmas, but I’m sure it’s the right procedure) I just wanted to put this down while I remembered

    If you try and connect via LMS, you may need to enter the password for max2play

    The user is user and passwords is root (I think, lower case)

    NB
    **My wifi dongle was and RT5370. You need one that works in access mode, this does. £4.89 from Ebay
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RT5370-150Mbps-USB2-0-Wireless-Network-Card-WiFi-LAN-Adapter-Antenna-Warranty-/400801704684?hash=item5d51a4aaec:g:ttYAAOSwzOxUWyVY

    ***When have set up your your wifi in settings, and you connect, it may prompt you with the home screen of Max2Play. It may ask for a password but will not offer anywhere to put it. If so, Press cancel, top right. It should come up with another screen, use internet connection Yes or NO, pick NO. I don’t have a clue what would happen if you say yes. Maybe it will hook into the local wifi and you access it that way..

    * to install accesspoint, go to the bottom of the settings/reboot page (a demo can be seen here)

    http://demo.max2play.com:81/plugins/max2play_settings/controller/Basic.php

    click on the „list of Max2Play extensions“ and find accesspoint plugin and follow the instructions and install it

    Hi Fred
    Sounds like a decent set up you have there, and just read the reviews about the Schitt Fulla (what a name!!) and did’nt realise it was that good, especially for the costs involved.

    Now you’ve made things really difficult…

    Looks like maybe a bit more reading needs doing, but have to say, the now working M2P, just gets better and better and better.

    Good luck with your Pi and thanks again all

    Hi Noop

    Thats good to know because my amp does have a HDMI in but, I’m away this weekend but I’ll give that option a go in the next few weeks for my second one that I’m making

    This one is in the car and I just think I can get better audio by replacing the USB DAC I have at the moment.

    Hi both,

    Glad to hear you got your’s up and running Fred, its a good feeling don’t you think, but all down to noop.

    I just hope when the guys at M2P update things, they don’t undo all the hard work and the long hours noop has put into this.

    Next stage for me with this is project is fitting a decent D/A in it, I have a usb D/A at the moment which cost about $8 and works, but it’s $8 quality too

    I was considering a hifiberry or a Wolfson. Would be good to know if you have one fitted and if so, which one. And what you think of it.

    Hi Noop

    Well its now sundy and its working, this is just great I’m really pleased, and appreciate your time, over two weeks you have been helping with this.

    What a decent chap, thanks noop very very much.

    All I have to do now is dig my way to the car and install it, hahahah, after what we have been through, this really is the easy bit.

    17. Januar 2016 at 1:55 #17962

    just killed the server and i think it’s holding as there is nothing for it to hook onto.
    So how I’m going to use it, thats just perfect, it’s snowing at the moment, and heavy. But this is going in the car in the morning, no matter what !

    hahahahah, I can’t tell you how chuffed I am noop, just fantastic

    Sorry I’m on one !!!

    I’ll try running the last script with my other pi and I bet that sorts that out too.

    So going back to my other set of questions.

    Is this something the guys at M2P ought to be able to fix for future upgrades ?

    Is it a bug in m2p ?

    Alex
    17. Januar 2016 at 1:35 #17961

    yep my iphone certianly likes my router more than m2p !

    Alex
    17. Januar 2016 at 1:34 #17960

    am i ok to turn this off/on, noop, talk about nervous

    Alex
    17. Januar 2016 at 1:32 #17959

    Noop

    What can I say, thanks is just not enough and if you round the corner at least I could buy you a drink.
    You’ve worked hours on this and had to put up with me at the same time and stupid questions.

    I can’t beleive I was as lucky as this to have you help me, I’m just so chuffed.

    So, why do you think it’s doing this noop?
    Why did’nt yours, software bug ?
    And I do have my other Pi with the same issues, so if I run your last script, do you think that will work too.

    And any ideas why its droping out. Maybe if I shut my main router down my iphone won’t go scanning for it. I’ll try that later, well tomorrow as its 23:30 .

    But talk about just on cloud nine…Well happy, Thanks noop, great top bloke, and I can’t mean that enough

    17. Januar 2016 at 1:08 #17957

    funny, that when it drops out it, I click back on to m2p in my wifi settings, it then goes to the gui m2p page and says log in albeit, its connected.

    Maybe there is something I should do but not sure what because I have connected AND played tracks ?
    it just keeps dropping out for some strange reason

    Alex
    17. Januar 2016 at 1:06 #17956

    damm, after about 10mins its gone back to my router and dropped m2p Agghhh

    Alex
    17. Januar 2016 at 1:05 #17955

    a cup of tea later, still holding
    I’m dying to turn it off to see if it holds but I’m scared stiff !!!!

    Alex
    17. Januar 2016 at 1:01 #17954

    I think I have sorted it, said I gingerly !

    I set m2p in wifi setting to auto join and auto log in…
    So far its holding !!!

    🙂

    Alex
    17. Januar 2016 at 0:48 #17953

    you will never guess what
    Ive been trying several times using my phone, and this time I had an option to connect „without“ internet connection, I said yes

    So I mangaged to see my music, I got a track playing and then noticed the m2p icon on ipeng had gone.

    So I checked the setting in wifi, it had dropped connection and hooed up to my wifi. So I guess when this track has finished, I’ll not have a connection, damm

    Alex
    17. Januar 2016 at 0:36 #17952

    What its did noop was to come up with the password box, i entered the password and it connected.

    Then it comes up with the m2p gui, and says log in, but there’s nowhere to log in, so maybe logging in is a two tier thing…So because I don’t log in again, maybe i’m getting timed out.

    Alex
    17. Januar 2016 at 0:32 #17951

    opps
    one slight problem, well maybe

    in settings/wifi

    It picked up m2p, then while I was writing the last message it dropped out and it picked up my router ?

    But it’s certainly better than before, its fantastic

    Alex
    17. Januar 2016 at 0:28 #17950

    Noop, god, , oh my god god.

    If you could only see me now. It’s done it, you have cracked it noop, what a , well fantastic bloke !

    TOP MAN !!!!

    I’m shocked, overjoyed and just in awe of what you’ve done noop
    Thanks so very very very much,

    It’s there on my ipeng and although my drive is connected to it, I guess it’s got to rescan the drive before I can really test it, but my, I’m BLOWN away with this.

    So what was the problem noop

    Was it a series of issues, was it just one thing which cascaded into lots of other „issues“. I’m dying to know

    But at the moment, Im like a kid a christmas, I rekon the whole street heard me just now..
    hahahah
    Thanks Noop, what a star

    Alex
    16. Januar 2016 at 18:44 #17948

    fine, thanks noop, and its dinner for me
    catch you later

    Alex
    16. Januar 2016 at 18:33 #17946

    Sorry noop, i have to keep refreshing my screen, missed the lasy one, opps

    This is what I have got after running

    sudo md5sum /usr/sbin/hostapd

    Hi noop
    the ssid was correct, psk and wpa, but I have **** it out just because I’m not sure who could be reading this

    Just a thought…

    But eirlier, I mentioned that when I go into settings/wifi/choose a network, if I choose max2play and hit the „i“ (information tab) tab, its all empty..

    No DHCP, iboot or Static details.

    Now is that because its not yet been accessed because of password issues, or should it be there othewise, how does the divice trying to link up know what i/p address to access, or its there but blanked until the password has been correctly entered.

    Sorry noop, I’m just trying to think of other issues which might or might not be causing this.

    Hi noop

    God I have to say I’m amazed just how much you know about this !!!
    Ok, I did change the whole password to capitals the other day, and I have just tried again (just to make sure) and sadly no it did’nt work

    This is what I get for sudo iwconfig

    sudo iwconfig
    mon.wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn Mode:Monitor Tx-Power=20 dBm

    Tx-Power=20 dBm
    Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
    Encryption key:off
    Power Management:off

    lo no wireless extensions.

    eth0 no wireless extensions.

    And for sudo ifconfig

    Yes it has the 192.168.189.1 address, but sadley still nothing has changed either at the cusor in my putty screen nor my devices (touch, ipad and iphone) when I try to log on DAMM.

    However, the plus is, I can still see max2play after a day of not loggin onto it phew !!!

    Hi noop

    After several reinstalls, some with other dongles, still the same, it still says I’m putting in the wrong password

    So I gave up on that and got out Pi No 2

    I set it up in the same way as you asked me to do using the new dongle, which is the same as you have albeit, mine has a small aerial with it, and I have the same problem as pi no 1

    I wondered if only 1/2 of the functionality of the dongle working, like the receiving bit, but as I can now see the signal it’s sending out on my apple devices and touch , and for it to say “ wrong passcode“ it must be getting something from my devices, duplexing

    I did notice however M2P have updated to 2.27 in the last few days so I have asked if this was a dongle update and told them why I need to know, so who knows we may get some ideas from them

    So that’s where we are 2pi’s so close to working, so if I had got this latest dongle sooner, I’m 100% sure you’d have got me to this stage sooner, so all I can do is just say a really massive massive thanks for your support, I just wish I could do a favour in return

    Ok it’s been a loooooooooonnnnnnnnggggggg day. It’s 01:35 here and time I hit the sack again.

    But if you do think of anything noop but as this is security related, I don’t expect there’s a lot that can be tweaked, but would be great to hear any ideas you have
    In the meantime if I hear from m2p, or if I sort it, I’ll post it here and let you know

    I seriously hope Fred is having better luck , thanks so much noop

    Hi noop
    yes tried that and then changed the password, just to see if that would help and it did’nt, still cant get into it

    So I was wondering, what about doing another install on my other pi with this dongle as I can’t think of anything else I could do.

    Ok its 00:16 here and as much as I would like to carry on, I have an early start so better hit the sack.

    But thanks again noop, you were right about the dongle…can you believe that !!!

    Alex
    15. Januar 2016 at 0:56 #17881

    Hi noop

    I have just replaced the dongle for the new one I have, and with no LAN attached, in my iphone/settings/wifi ………………………..max2play !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I thought this was a fluke, so I turned off the iphone and sure enough it was there again when I turned it on.

    So i turned the Pi on and off again and it came up again…Looks like you were right about my „NEW EDIMAX DONGLE“ THATS GOING BACK FOR SURE FOR A BLOODY REFUND !!!!

    But……

    I can certainly see it….However, when it asks for the password, it’s not liking it, it wont let me in, just keeps saying incorrect password

    And when you hit the ? or i on the max2play network bar, it opens up but does not give any ip address, subnet or anything..
    same on DHCP, Bootp and Static headings.

    So we have got just that little bit closer…
