I have wasted days in following instructions that simply didn't apply to the installation I had, and not just in linux, or software.
Welcome to the RealWorld™
I had to look up recondite ! :-)
I have tell you guys, unbelievably, astonishingly, I've fixed it !
People here made me aware of how out of date my notes were and I realised that there was going to be lots of other legacy items no longer needed.
So I decided to go through my install instruction and throw out anything that wasn't systemd related or obviously important. I then went through this new minimalist procedure with a bullseye build. I know bullseye works with this.
Didn't work first off, had to add at least one instruction back in but after some hours of trying it worked.
Then I went for it, I built the minimalist version yet again but on bookworm this time. Low and behold it worked. I couldn't believe it. see below.
Exactly what the issue was I don't know but I've got a much reduced and simpler set of notes which I've sent back to Pete the author.
Again I've learnt a lot thanks to the help and patience of people here.
Thank you.
Bob.
Copy the cleaned mediaplayer folder into /home/pi
cd /home/pi/mediaplayer sudo chmod +x run.sh
sudo /home/pi/mediaplayer/run.sh
Wait... WebServer should now be up on port 80 or port 8088
cd scripts/systemd sudo install -v -m 755 mediaplayer.service /etc/systemd/system sudo install -v -m 755 run_systemd.sh /home/pi/mediaplayer
sudo systemctl enable mediaplayer.service (start at boot up) (symlink gets created here!)
sudo systemctl start mediaplayer.service
Wait !! Give the pi some time to sort itself here.
sudo raspi-config
1S4 Hostname set as required. 6A1 Expand Filesystem reboot on exit.All Done !!
