Tried to set up a Raspberry Pi scaler and the instructions failed to tell me about setting up wireless. Tried again with a new micro SD card. Now I see the volumio temporary network but not the /volumio.local page, nor does the Volumio app (Android) find the device, even if I wire it in with an Ethernet cable. How can I go back to square one?
- Try a program like Advanced IP Scanner to see which IP went to the rPi and connect via it’s ip.
- Connect your PC or Phone via Wifi to the hotspot of Volumio, SIDD is called like volumio-xxxx
Thanks for the help! But I’m still lost.
I had found the IP before via network properties on the PC before, but I confirmed that it was right by using Advanced IP Scanner (Again, thanks for that!)
Using the IP address on my PC in a browser, I got this:
192.168.1.159 refused to connect.
I can set my PC to the volumio hotspot but I still can’t see volumio.local. Trying to connect my phone to the volumio hotspot, it told me “Couldn’t get IP address”. I then connected my phone’s wifi to the IP address (above) manually, so my phone is on the hotspot, but when I send the volumio app to look for wireless devices it returns “no devices found.” Looking for wired devices (which seems like the wrong thing anyway) is no more successful.
Did you download the Volumio image from volumio.com and not the image provided by Raspberry Pi Imager?
Burn the image without applying any personal settings.
I believe I burned the image correctly, but if it’s possible that it’s the image, I’ll re-do. (Which I did before – but I can’t swear that it was via volumio.com, and of course this time I’ll upload the sources again.) I don’t recall BalenEtcher asking for any personal settings. Shame you can’t re-use the SD card, since volumio makes the thinig unreadable as a WIndows file system.
Please don’t use Balena, as we have many reported issues with it. Hence Volumio advise Raspberry Pi Imager.
You can only read the boot partition via Windows. Not the image.
And you can always reflash the same SD card.
You can’t re-flash the same SD card because Windows doesn’t recognize it as a target. The drive ain’t there no more. Evidently the boot portion is zorched, which could explain a lot…
Plug the SD in your machine, open raspberry pi imager and select the SD to burn to.
If not you’re the first one where this doesn’t work.
Please follow the instruction as provided here:
Aha! THIS time I see boot:D in my file system. Wasn’t there before, unless I just missed it. Thanks very much!
Grrr. First, I had my PC “forget” the old access points and rebooted the router, just 'cuz. I then used the Raspberry Pi Imager with the latest Volumio from volumio.com, and targeted the volumio file as a custom OS. In the File Explorer, the SD card now shows, not just the boot file, but the whole copied image – not a good sign. The volumio access point isn’t showing up, and the Android volumio app can’t find the device. What the heck?
