the ssid was correct, psk and wpa, but I have **** it out just because I’m not sure who could be reading thissudo cat /opt/max2play/wpa_supplicant.conf

I think I found the answer, please try the following:
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/interfacesThen reboot. If it works I’ll follow with an explanation.
17. Januar 2016 at 0:28 #17950Noop, 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 star17. Januar 2016 at 0:36 #17952What 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.
17. Januar 2016 at 0:48 #17953you 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 yesSo 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
17. Januar 2016 at 1:08 #17957funny, 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 reason17. Januar 2016 at 1:17 #17958The issue or at least the latest issue turned out to be that the DHCP Daemon (DHCPD) was not starting.The DHCPD provides IP addresses to clients when they connect to the access point.
The latest init.d script to start DHCPD, scans the /etc/network/interfaces file and exits if it finds an interface set to DHCP.
The default file from M2P has such an entry so DHCPD never starts, causing the connect problem. In the file I had you download with „wget“
I replaced the dhcp entry with a static entry for eth0, and removed the dhcp setting for wlan0 as well.
BTW you will find M2P through the ethernet/wired interface at: 192.168.1.250 with the current setting.17. Januar 2016 at 1:32 #17959Noop
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
A17. Januar 2016 at 1:55 #17962just 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 ?
17. Januar 2016 at 2:18 #17963It is a flaw in M2P, and something they should address in the next update.
I did not see the problem because my base release is older started with 2.16?
It didn’t have the dhcpd check that the newer versions have.I found the problem by loading the new release and trying to get my dongle to work.
You’re very very welcome, my reward is your reaction when it worked ROFL
It’s been a long haul but it ended in success.
17. Januar 2016 at 12:39 #17965Hi 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.

19. Januar 2016 at 20:07 #18005Alex/Noop, just wanted to quickly comment on my progress.
I have been experiencing exactly the same issues as Alex, nothing was working, Wifi or Accesspoint.
Turns out it was the Wifi dongle, recommended to me by the same place I ordered my Pi equipment from.
In truth, it is probably the default drivers Max2play includes in their boot-up that do not work nice with my Wifi Dongle.
Anyways, I ordered the same Dongle as you have Noop (Cankit), and it arrived late last week.
Plopped it in and BOOM everything is working from the get go, no problems at all.
However, just like you experienced Alex, Access Point would NOT let my in, no matter WHAT password I set it to or entered. Very frustrating!
Noop, DHCP has not been setup correctly in the build, is that correct and should be resolved in a new build soon?
Equally I can execute the code you mentioned above to confirm?
Anyways, just want to say thanx again for figuring this all out. It was nice to see someone have the same frustration as myself.
All for now, Fred in Canada
20. Januar 2016 at 11:20 #18009Hi 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.
Alex
