Version 2.9 now has a redesigned reconfigure-wifi.sh script.

instead of having a main WIFI and an alternate WIFI, the user is now asked to setup for one WIFI (like at home) and an access point.

Yes the Raspberry Pi mini server will now act as its own WIFI access point so now you dont need a hot spot to act as the go between.

This has been a real pain to get working right but now its done.

The usage is that when the PI boots up it looks for and connects to the WIFI, if this is not found after 50 seconds it turns the onboard WIFI into an access point until the next reboot.

great for taking to a friends house or in the car for media streaming from the pi over its own network.

also made the rsync operations more efficient for the server sync scripts and also the rotational server sync script but now we only sync non mkv files (as they could not be streamed via the web browser unless a plug in was installed in the web browser on the client pc).

This now makes the mini-pi truly portable and take anywhere for your own personal media server.

I am not sure how much more I can squeeze out of this Raspberry Pi Zero 2 w.....

Also tested on a Pi 4 and Pi 5 on Ethernet, so users dont have to set up wifi.
