[SOLVED] No Hotspot startup

[Fipsi]

Hi there,

today I did the change to moode with my second Pi-player. It's for an mobile system, so it's possible I have no network, no wifi, no ethernet, only my smartphone ańd the pi, so I need the Hotspot-function.
I had set the SSID and passwort for hotspot, also in the startup options - networking set the address timeout to 10 sec.
After waiting a while, I can't find the SSID. Tried with my notebook, smartphone and tablet. Has done some reboots, connect und disconnect ethernet, there's still no moode-Hotspot.

From the System Info:

moOde release = 9.2.6 2025-03-07
RaspiOS = 12.9 Bookworm 64-bit
Linux kernel = 6.6.74 64-bit
Pi model = Pi-4B 1.1 4GB
Architecture = aarch64 (64-bit)
Home directory = /home/phslg
System uptime = up 6 minutes
Timezone = Europe/Berlin
Current time = 2025-03-09 13:06:27

Does someone know, that I'm doing wrong?

Thank you

Fipsi

Damn... wrong forum... I'm so sorry. Could I move or delete the post here?

To troubleshoot do the following:

1. Power off the Pi
2. Disconnect Ethernet cable
3. Power on the Pi
4. Wait 3 minutes
5. Plug in Ethernet cable
6. Post the contents of the startup log

The log can be viewed via the SSH command moodeutl -l or downloaded via the Logs section in System Config, or via Menu, System info from any of the Config screens. The startup log will be at the end of System info output.

Ouh hell.. I didn't see to change to "Activate Hotspot". I'm very sorry 

Thank you very much for your support 

[Tim Curtis]

Glad it's fixed.

Btw I'd turn Spotify Connect off otherwise it will spam the log because it can't connect to its remote AP.
