Just to return to the original topic of this thread, I recently installed LMS on a Chromebook. I did not test it extensively, but I was able to play to a squeezelite player running on another computer on my network.
The Linux capability built into ChromeOS has improved immensely, and it is not longer beta. It is not necessary to switch the Chromebook to developer mode to use it. The usual Chrome environment remains active. It is necessary to set up port forwarding to allow LMS to communicate with other devices on the network. The port forwarding state is not persistent, it has to be manually switched on for each port, every time ChromeOS is restarted. The Chromebook I used is not a high-powered model. It's about three years old and its specs were very modest when it was brand new. (ASUS Chromebook Flip C101, 16 GB version) This is the model I mentioned before, with an Arm processor that I previously thought was not supported by LMS. As I said, I did not test it extensively, so I don't know how it would deal with scanning a music library. I only tried playing some online streams. I don't think a Chromebook is an ideal platform for LMS, but with the current shortage of Raspberry Pis, it could be a useful fallback. LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS. Mostly virtual players, occasionally with SB Radio, Boom or Classic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RobbH's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115736 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
