A simple how to for "Spotty" and pCP

Here is a bare bones on how to install Spotty on a Raspberry pi3B.
This is just my simple guide to what I have done, if you use it, you do so at your own risk.
You first need to install LogitechMediaServer on the pi.
Decide which OS you want to use.
I have used piCorePlayer in this example.

Information can be found here

and here for lots more detail on each step

Here is a precis of the steps involved, it does not take very long to do, just take your time and check each step as you go along.

1) Download piCorePlayer v3.2.1 (I used the normal version)

2) Burn the image to a sd card (4gb, in this case) I used Etcher https://etcher.io/ (which will use the zipped image).

3) Put the SD card into the pi, conect the pi to your network with an Ethernet cable, plug in the power supply and switch on.

Allow a minute or so for the pi to stabalise and then find its IP address.

I went to my router's web pages and looked under DHCP Server, Clients List.

There are also apps to enable you do do this on your computer OS, use Google to find one.

4) Open the pCP web page in your favourite browser.



5) Click on the Main Page tab and then on the beta tab at the bottom and the on the Resize FS button



6) Choose the size of the partition and follow the instructions (I went with 200MB) Allow time for the reboot.



7) Still on the bottom beta tab click on the LMS tab on the top of the page.

Click the radio button for Autostart and the Install button for LMS. Be patient it will take a short time to complete.



I'll continue in a second post.
