    My router is IpFire.

    Now, something strange happened.

    I needed the 7″ display for another project, so I moved the SD card to another Raspi, thinking to run Max2Play headless.
    And indeed it does, wifi and BT work as usual, web interface is loaded, but.. lo and behold! now it has only ONE IP address.

    It seems related to hardware, since the SD card was just swapped from a Raspi with display to another one without.

    However, I can’t figure out the reason.

    now it’s back showing the hour… it’s a bit temperamental!

    yes, I did use the write-only plugin.

    I resorted to do the install process all over one more time.. now it’s back in business, but..

    After I put the player to sleep from the LMS web interface with:

    http://myLMS:9000/status.html?p0=sleep&p1=2400

    when I woke up in the morning, Jivelite did not show the hour anymore, just a black screen.. and is still black.

    Hi Heiner,

    I’m stuck with the player not working, but have ssh access.

    Have you got a script to revert the sd card to writable?

    It would be nice if the plugins had a compatibility warning.

    Maybe I should have known, but I think it should be clearly stated in the plugin page that the SD cannot be made read only if max2play runs on wifi.

    Hello Heiner,

    my firewall is Ipfire.

    Now, it’s been up for the whole weekend without problems on WIFI or BT, and I was very happy… but.

    I thought it was a good idea to freeze the sd card with the plugin, but when it rebooted, no Jivelite, no webpage..

    I only have port 22 and 3389 open..

    How do I revert to previous state?

    Hello Heiner,

    so I did restart from scratch, avoiding any manual intervention via ssh.

    1. burn image, expand image
    2. launch Raspi, eth0 connection
    3. setup wifi (no connection), Squeezelite, update Max2Play (Settings/Reboot)
    4. power off, moved Raspi in wifi range, reboot
    5. wifi so slow it’s no use, power off and reconnect via eth0
    6. from Raspberry/Settings, update&&upgrade, power off
    7. moved to wifi, now speed is ok
    8. install BT plugin, connect speaker, testing ok
    9. later Raspberry became unreachable (wifi crashed?), so I had to connect a keyboard, log in and shutdown -r, avoiding pulling the plug.

    To sum up, still very unstable, still double IP shown in wifi page:
    „Status: WiFi USB adapter status is active. WiFi connection status is active (IP: 192.168.xxx.yy 192.168.xxx.zz)
    (Only WPA/WPA2-Encryption possible)“

    Also, no easy way to reboot from Jivelite: when network crashes, you have to connect a keyboard.

    Last, even after update&&upgrade was executed, I saw a message like „14 packages have been kept back“.
    Is there a way to do a dist-upgrade from the web interface?

    thanks,
    best regards,
    -Gian

    Hi Heiner,

    I agree to re-start from scratch, because now the situation is very compromised: wifi doesn’t work anymore, and the Jivelite display has a wrong resolution, preventing the correct navigation. Too many hard reboots, I guess…

    I use ssh just because I am used to, and have only Linux hosts on my network.

    I will let you know later..

    thanks for your assistance,

    -GianLuca

    Hello Heiner,

    it’s tricky because if I cat /var/log/syslog it will crash the network and have to pull the plug.

    However, in part of the log I saw many messages like:
    brcmfmac: _brcmf_set_multicast_list: setting mcast_list failed
    which Google relates to a Raspi loosing the network.

    The pages I found are somewhat old, should I do an rpi-update?
    Since the problem is acknowledged, there might be a patch.

    Anyway, at the moment it is connected only to LAN, and I see only one IP address listed, so I suppose the problem it’s in the wlan0 setup.

    I have no peripherals connected, excepting the BT dongle.

    thanks, Heiner.

    I see only two IPs now on my DHCP list.

    However, it’s not connected to LAN, so I do not understand why it should obtain two addresses from my DHCP.

    Beside that, it’s very unstable.
    After a fresh reboot, I cat /var/log/syslog and crashed the system, ssh port stopped responding and I get „no route to host“.

    Heiner,

    thanks for your kind reply.

    I will share the debug info.
    At the moment, the host is unreachable.
    It looks very unstable, wifi side: first I thought it was too far (8m), then reduced to 4m, then 1m.
    Still, it dies and is lost from the network.
    I had read that simultaneous wifi & bt is not recommended, so I plugged in an USB BT dongle I had around.
    Should I have done it the other way round?

    Also, the Jivelite interface seems to have problems visualizing the menus (wrong resolution?), and does not show the clock when idle.
    I am concerned that the display might degrade, with the same information on all day long.

    -GianLuca
