With a bit of over-the-phone help from inmate 'bullethead', I found the correct IP address for the Raspberry Pi and, stepping SLOWLY through Dynobot's video, managed to get MUSIC coming out of at least the headphone jack.
That's a HUGE start.
So I turned of the WiFi transmitter and can see how one controls the little bugger now.
Missing that one IP address AND the small (on a laptop) settings button in the lower right corner of the screen was most of my problem in getting to all of those screens once the box was hooked up and running.
So thanks to all, and especially inmate 'bullethead'. TIDAL is now officially playing on the Raspberry Pi.
Next moving it near to the Audio-GD DAC and getting it running with the HiFiBerry S/PDIF board, which I can see now should not be a problem.
Follow Ups:
Quit his job and turned to volunteering his time and effort for the good of others, giving away free stuff, free phone consult....
Whats next?
he may or may not end up using in his bedroom system! ;-)
At this rate, he's going to be a Monk by summer!
It is funny you mentioned being a monk, I looked into it. Make Ale all day ;)
those Monks work very very hard, starting in the early morning until late at night. I did look into it honestly.
there is lots of opportunity out there. There's some great documentaries about monks on YouTube, very enlightening.
I'm not a Monk but having looked into it myself...being Buddhist, I can see the life as being very rewarding and fulfilling as supposed to being a Capitalist puppet.
Coming from this type of world [jobs, bills, consume, etc] I would imagine a great sense of freedom letting all of it go...
I would honestly both envy you and be happy for you if you went that route.
There once was a monastery that was very strict. Following a vow of silence, no one was allowed to speak at all. But there was one exception to this rule. Every ten years, the monks were permitted to speak just two words. After spending his first ten years at the monastery, one monk went to the head monk. "It has been ten years," said the head monk. "What are the two words you would like to speak?"
"Bed... hard..." said the monk.
"I see," replied the head monk.
Ten years later, the monk returned to the head monk's office. "It has been ten more years," said the head monk. "What are the two words you would like to speak?"
"Food... stinks..." said the monk.
"I see," replied the head monk.
Yet another ten years passed and the monk once again met with the head monk who asked, "What are your two words now, after these ten years?"
"I... quit!" said the monk.
"Well, I can see why," replied the head monk. "All you ever do is complain."

Ivan303 let me put that I helped him on my resume.
I'll land the next job FAST now :)
I'm still going to take 6 months off :)
.
And music is currently playing so that's the proof the accomplishment!
Only problem is I have to move everything out of the office and into another room to get the Raspberry Pi near to my DAC/Headphone amp.
And the REMEMBER what I did to get the music to play.
Short term memory ain't my best card these days. :-(
So what did I miss in the Video?
I need to update it, or my web site to make things more clear.
Truth be told, thats why I made the web site to begin with...because I can't remember.
The two ip address entries to get the two screens, PiCorePlayer and Logitech Media server up and running are critical. The ip address of the device being used is easy (Apple preferences), the ip address of the Raspberry Pi not so intuitive.
Once I got the same screens up as you have in the video, all is good. Does YouTube have a SUPER SOLO-MO mode? For a seventy something year old brain, you go through this stuff FAST.
Now running the Raspberry Pi on a 5V 2A 24,000mah battery pack and it sounds MUCH better, so perhaps with some tweaks?
How do you slow the clock? Missed that in the advanced setup?
See pic above
Almost got it sounding as good as my laptop USB output.
Running off the 24,000 mAh battery, it REAL close.
MORE TWEAKS PLEASE!
What about the HiFiBerry Digi+ PRO? Worth the extra $$?
I'll likely get another if I can get this one working right. Like to see one on every Ethernet jack throughout the house. Gives me an excuse to BUY MORE DACs, HEadphones, Amps and Speakers. ;-)
I like the Digi + Pro, to me it sounds much better than the standard Digi+
Slow the cpu etc.
Go to your PiCorePlayer ip address so you can see the user interface, then select the "Tweaks" tab then 4th item down you will see "Advanced Overclock" select that and you will see a screen where you can underclock, etc.
