This is more a matter of experimenting than a problem. I'd like to be able to use Moode controlled by a phone or tablet using ethernet tethering as a personal music player. The music source would be a flash drive or music stored on my phone. The purpose of the experiment is to bypass the Moode wifi hotspot.
I can send a signal to the ethernet port of a Pi--the leds flash.
I have it hooked up to a local display and the Moode UI comes up.
It's a Pi 2B with the wifi adapter disconnected.
The system info shows a 169.xxx IP address.
It's not clear to me how it sees my phone or if it does at all. I tried activating the SMB server through Moode and my file manager app doesn't see it. I'm not too surprised since my phone is on my home 192.xxx network. I have Moode configured as a UPNP renderer but BubbleUPNP on my phone doesn't see it.
I haven't tried using vanilla Raspbian yet.
Again, this is an experiment. I'm doing it just for the heck of it. I'm wondering if the tethering approach will work.
