    Multiple raspi4

    I have3 raspi4 that have pcp + Jivelite installed on them however, only 1 of the players is showing on the LMS. I'm guessing that since I am using the same image for the 3 of them, LMS think that there's only 1 connected raspberry pi at any given time.

    I noticed that the other 2 raspi during the booting process will give out an error "No network found!" even though I can still access the web GUI of both(different IP addresses)

    Also noticed that whenever I remove remove/swift off 1 of the raspi and refresh the LMS page, it will only show the next raspi that is connected.

    I'm kinda new to the setup and I was planning on setting up 3 raspi4 on my room, kitchen and living room with jivelite installed so I can control each player.

    Do the players report different MAC addresses?

      Yes they have different MAC and ip address but same broadcast address and loopback address if that is the cause of the issue.

        sounds like you copied the same SD card, are the Pi hostname and/or squeezelite names the same?

          Sounds weird. AFAIK, its only the MAC address that is important.

          I would only load jivelite if you have screens attached.

          Do you have only 1 LMS server?

            I did flash it from the same image however, I change the hostname and squeezelite name. Only thing I haven't done is doing a sysprep command-like for linux I guess.

              Note though that the MAC address as reported by LMS is whatever the player said it is via SlimProto and that value can be set in the player command line for Squeezelite.
              If set there then it overrides what the networking hardware reports.
              So do check to see what LMS shows as the "MAC address" not just what you know is the case with the hardware.
