Standalone Volumio

Hi,
I would use a Digione player in standalone mode. So, I would start the RPI without connection to a local network, neither wifi or ethernet connexion to a router. I would just have the hotspot activated and connect to volumio with my Android phone with a Wifi Direct connexion. As I have copied a local library, I would be able to play a local playlist without connecting to any network.

So, I activate the hotspot functionality into the web GUI menu but without effect.
On Quick Start Guide “https://volumio.github.io/docs/User_Manual/Quick_Start_Guide.html”, i tried to follow by starting the RPI without wlan et ethernet activated and plugged, but not Volumio network visible.

Any idea to keep hotspot activated and to access to local library with the Wifi Direct mode ?

Thanks

No idea to keep alive the hotspot ?

Activate wifi and hotspot into Volumio by editing setting, just unplug rj45, stop the Wifi on the router or the internet box and reboot Volumio …
