Re: Problem adding screen

[Andrew Armenia]

If you didn't create a config.pl on your live USB, your client might also be connecting to RPI's concerto instance, which is a hardwired default in the current player. In this case, you will get the blue screen and nothing you do on your server will change it.

Sounds like it's finding the server, but the server isn't matching the MAC you've entered to the machine you're connecting. Is it possible that you've got the MAC address wrong? I certainly haven't seen every one in the world, but they're usually alphanumeric, not all numbers. Alternatively, you could test it from a web browser on a system that can contact that server by using: 

http://[serveraddress]/screen/?mac=[in:se:rt:yo:ur:nu:mb:er]

(leave out the [ ] brackets for both server address and mac address. The MAC can be any number, so long as you've setup that number as a screen in concerto)

is it worth altering the code on the 'master' server to indicate this
(ie, echo hostname?)

[Scott]

Altered line 84 of screen/missing.php to read this way:

    Please verify that this screen has been added to <?= preg_replace('/\..*/s','',$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']) ?>. 

That way the screen tells only the host name, not the entire URL to the server.
