exactly. I over simplified. But you're correct, it is best to use piCorePlayer to properly shutdown the rPi if the rPi is running LMS. Not doing so (just pulling the plug), won't necessarily corrupt the SD card, but it might. I *think* (not sure) that if one has LMS running but has the setting to transfer the LMS cache, etc. to the attached USB drive rather than having it on the SD card, the odds of corruption are less. But in my brother's case, I had him get a UPS to plug his rPi and router/modem into (so a power blip wouldn't cause the rPi to lose power). And I left him with a 2nd SD card already setup, so if the worst happens, I can walk him through removing the old SD card and replacing the SD card and then rebooting. *Home:* VBA 4TB (2.5) -or- rPi4B/pCP6.0/4TB>LMS 7.9.3>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.4) -or- rPi4B/pCP6.0/4TB>LMS 7.9.1>Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (ethernet, Radio WIFI) *Office:* Win10(64)>LMS 7.9.3>Squeezelite *The Wild: *rPi3B+/pCP4.0, hifiberry Dac+Pro, 4TB USB (LMS & Squeezelite) *Controllers:* iPhone11 & iPadAir2 (iPeng), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) *Files:* ripping: dbpa > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112330 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
