I followed the instructions and watched the video. Much to my dismay I could not get this to work. I have had nothing but success with other flavors of OS's for the Pi.
I downloaded the setup files, I booted the PI, I watched the installation and the reboot.
Then came the FalconChristmas logo and a blank screen. Now what?
I scanned my network and found the Pi but with only TCP ports 21,22,139 and 445 open. No port 80.. the required port for a website (or 443). I did this with 2 different SD cards twice on each.
I was able to SSH and login to the Pi, look around and that was it.
I rebooted once more with earphones plugged into the audio jack I heard the TCP IP address announced. I heard not one, but 2 IP addresses announced. The DCHP address and the static address of 192.168.0.10.
Once I changed my local workstation to the 192.168.0.0 network, I was able to open bring up the FPP web interface on 192.168.0.10. Oddly enough after that, I was able to browse to the web interface on the DHCP address as well.
A future feature request would be to output the IP address to the screen as well as the audio jack.

if you got falconchristmas.com they have discussed this. the default os goes into screen blanking after 1 minute. i really dislike this feature.
if you type ALT-F1 on a keyboard you will get the boot screen back
if type AHLT-F2 you get your session back.
these are part of the linux os theya re using. they did not put this in themselves.
the reason that it speaks the ip address is so that you can hear what got assigned.
every pi player has 192.168.0.10 hardcoded to the pi. the second ip address is what tells me it works. in my case (remember my pi is on my home network), that second ip address was 10.0.0.4
That is the address i can use for putty, webpage, filezilla. they all work
we continue to try and make it clearer. it did stump me the first time i saw a bunch of good stuff scrolling by and then it was gone.
alt-f1 is your friend here.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it requires a reboot after the first boot to bring up the web interface.
-
We are working so resolve issues people are having like this. Being able to see information in console after it boots is a valid concern.

I followed instructions as directed. Booted up my pi but the FPP webpage does not show up.i am able to ping the IP address of my PI but despite repeated installations I am not able to bring up the FPP page. Not sure what debugging information I can provide. I am connecting to my windows laptop, Pi is hardwired to my router.
Thanks

This the IP address as heard through headphones while boot up. The audio also says bootstall flash media is missing. Pls insert.
Not sure what that is about.
Thanks

I found Etcher to be the easiest image burner to use.

Not able to flash with Etcher. Getting the attached error message repeatedly. Flash card was formatted before flashing.

yes you need to format it with a SD card formatter
windows ver
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/
mac ver

LOL as it only takes about 10 minutes to format, flash a card and start up in a Pi as I have done this so many times now trying to get videos to play as a remote
