Download the latest piCorePlayer from here - https://docs.picoreplayer.org/downloads/ Burn it to a 8GB or 16GB micro SD card - https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/ Insert card in Pi, attach network cable. Power up Pi. Find IP address of Pi and enter it into a web browser address bar, and press enter. "Main page", scroll down to bottom of page and click the "Beta tab", dismiss warning. "Main page", Click "Resize FS", select 2000MB (minimum if installing LMS) from dropdown box. Click "Resize", (takes a couple of minutes). "LMS" page, under "Install and enable additional file systems", click "Install". "LMS" page, click "Install LMS". Once installed click "Start LMS", if started you should see a green tick and LMS is running. (At the time of writing this installs LMS v8.1.1). "LMS" page, click "Configure LMS", this may or may not open at a "Wizard", mine didn't, it opened at the "Basic settigs" tab. You can skip adding the music and playlist folder paths. Enter your mysqueezebox.com credentials (needed for Tidal). That's about it! It is so very simple. Good luck. *Server - LMS 8.2.0 *Pi4B 4GB/Argon one case/pCP v7.0.1 - 75K library, playlists & LMS cache on SSD (ntfs) *Study -* Pi4/pCP 7.0.1/Topping E30 DAC/Ruark MR1 Mk2 *Lounge* - Pi2/pCP 6.0.0 > HiFiBerry DIGI+ > AudioEngine DAC1 > AVI DM5 *Dining Room* - Pi3B/pCP/Bluetooth/Echo Show 8 *Garage* - DAC32 > Edifier speakers *Spares* - 2xTouch, 1xSB Radio. 1xSB3, 6xRPi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kidstypike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114796 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
