Playing MP3 Files from windows

Hello all. I completed the basic wifi radio project last year, and it has been working beautifully. So obviously, it is past time to screw it up. Ultimately, I want to be able to set up 4 music channels on my lan, each of which would continuously play one of 4 playlists. Those playlists would be add...

Re: Openwrt seems to be hanging during bootup

That's pretty much what I thought. I will let sleeping dogs lie.
Thanks again for your help. Now at last I can begin the fun part of the project.
Regards

Re: Openwrt seems to be hanging during bootup

Hi Gerben, I am pleased to announce that we finally got it working! I took your advise, and rebuilt a very lean init script for mpd. (renamed /etc/init.d/mpd to /etc/init.d/xmpd, then created a new, empty mpd file). Previously, I had commented out everything but the bare essentials from the old mpd ...

Re: Openwrt seems to be hanging during bootup

Manually starting mpd... Mpd echoes "start93" (first echo command in the script), but does not perform any other other echos or commands. After echoing "start93", I'm returned to the command shell. At the command line, if I enter "mpc" to start the radio, I get the erro...

Re: Openwrt seems to be hanging during bootup

Gerben, I think we're getting closer. Not because of what happened, but because of what didn't. Actions so far... 1) enabled /etc/init/mpd as you advised 2) executed /etc/init/mpd enabled && echo on on the command returned... Start93 on on 3) executed chmod +x /etc/init.d/mpd to make sure th...

Re: Openwrt seems to be hanging during bootup

Thx for your response, Gerben. Great support! As I wrote, I have started fresh and meticulously followed the steps in the Mightyohm tutorial. I'm now back where I started, but no closer to finding a solution than I was Tuesday. I have confirmed that what I called "hanging" is just the stat...

Re: Openwrt seems to be hanging during bootup

Still no luck on stopping the "hanging boot". Maybe it is normal to have to hit enter to get to the OpenWrt command prompt. I am going to find out the hard way. I am going to reflash the router with kamikaze 2.4 and see if it takes me to command prompt automatically. If it does, I will add...

Re: Openwrt seems to be hanging during bootup

I just double checked. It was a good find on your part, but unfortunately the bracket was dropped when I copied the text from telnet. I just double checked the actual file, and the bracket is there. Its separated by the main body by for or five blank lines, which as a noob, I haven't figured out how...

Openwrt seems to be hanging during bootup

I've been working on my own wifi streaming radio, and I have most of the elements from the first six chapters of the MightyOhm wifi radio project working. I now seem to be stuck (by a problem that's been there all along). I have created playlists for MPC, and am able to play them from the command li...
