There are a few simple rules to set up something new. Read the man pages if it's a command. If it's the distribution read the FAQ file online.
When something fails you are at fault, go and read the manual again!
Meticulously check & proofread the syntax.
When you're done with that, check out your network settings, provided it's a client server setup and your connections don't work the way they should. Make sure to check if you only have one Gateway; multi-homed gateways need special configuration.
Be curious, when things work, make sure you can roll back and test out a few new features.
These are a few of the principles I used when I set up my PieCore Server.
Everything went smoothly the moment I got my Wi-Fi configuration properly set up. Because I only have gateways on my Androids, I cannot use the wired configuration.
Pie Core Player needs extra libraries & extensions, when you need to connect your external media drives
When you also want to have the Fancy Interface as seen in the photographs, that needs to be fetched too
The reason is that PieCore Player player runs on just a micro Linux operating system distro. It boots up blatedly fast. PieCore Player is so small that it can run on a number of raspberry pie families.
Setting of the Lyron Media Server is very easy from the PieCore player interface. The moment that you click download, you will see from top, a nice small fetch command to get the LMS server on your SBC.
There's a lot more to say but for now, I will suffice with telling you, that I really enjoyed setting up my PieCore player
