Problem: Rookie MooDstake
#1
Please be gentle; I'm already well aware that I'm an idiot! With that being said, I hoped some kind soul might be able to assist me with what I hope is a relatively easy solution to a relatively small problem.

Knowing my limitations with RPI, Linux, and the like, but loving me some hi-res music, I ordered the Allo Boss 2 Player - as seen here: https://www.pishop.us/product/boss2-play...h-pi4-2gb/. I used an Ethernet connection and after powering on the player, obtained the IP address from the tiny screen. Using my Android phone, I plugged the IP address - 192.1.168.0.xxx - into the Firefox browser and started playing around with the MoOde settings. Stupidly, I know for certain I made two mistakes: (1) I changed the 32-bit setting to 64-bit; and (2) I turned off/disabled the wifi connection. After updating to the latest version of MoOde, I restarted. Thereafter, when I attempted to use Firefox via my Android phone, I was told the site couldn't be reached. The IP address 192.1.168.0.xxx no longer got me into MoOde. When I went back to the tiny screen on the Boss 2 Player, the IP address no longer shows up. Instead, it says "host: moode".

I have powered off the Boss 2, waited, and then powered it back on. Admittedly, however, I have not powered it off, unplugged the Ethernet cable, powered it back on, then plugged the Ethernet cable back in. I will try this after I get home. In the alternative, should I plug in a monitor via an HDMI cable and access MoOde that way and change back to 32.bit and re-enable the wifi? I have no plans to use wifi and will keep it connected via Ethernet, but in my novice troubleshooting, I figured this feature might have also enabled me to access the Boss 2 and MoOde via my phone.

Any suggestion - and minor, warranted castigation - would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

The easiest way to recover would probably be to re-flash your MicroSD Card with the moOde Image and start again.

p.s. the IP address should probably be 192.168.1.n rather than 192.1.168.0 as typed in your poat.
