I am not a techie. Have no Linux knowledge at all. Dont have time to tinker, but figured Id at least give a raspberry pi a shot while I own a workable SB Touch.
After getting over the initial fear I bought a kit with a case, and located the instructions on this site for how to load squeezelite. I cant recall if it worked flawlessly the first time I turned it on, but I did get it to work. In the past 2-3 years since I bought it I may have have to reboot it twice. It works flawlessly. As for multi-room, I decided to ditch the synchronized multi-SB setup I used to have and started buying Denon HEOS speakers and a Marantz HEOS-enabled network streamer. I was already going to upgrade my stereo so that money was going to be spent anyway. Synchronization is much better than my old multi-SB network of players. The lesson here is dont rule out the Pi if you cant find something else that fits your needs. The hardest part, frankly, is getting over the fear factor that youre going to spend months having to figure out how to make it work when it really doesnt take that long once you commit to it. Im down to one SB Touch and a Raspberry Pi. Mac Mini as a server (OS X Catalina). iPeng is my controller of choice. LMS 7.9.4. Erlands plug ins are what keep me in the ecosystem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GeeJay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11388 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117101
