You need a network to use a Pi + NAS. As the Pi is going to run LMS it should be wired - the general rule for all servers is that they should be wired.
Typically you would have a router (wi fi or otherwise), you would have the NAS plugged in to one LAN port and the Pi into another, players if wired into another or wireless if its available / stable enough. You store your music on the NAS lets say in the typical QNAP structure of /Multimedia/Music Personally I then have /Multimedia/Music/Flac /Multimedia/Music/MP3 etc You install piCorePlayer onto Pi - simply a case of copying a file to an SD card and then putting it into the Pi You then configure the Pi to mount /Multimedia/Music as an SMB mount point called /Music - full instructions are on picoreplayers site Then you run connect to http://pi-ip-address:9000 and run the setup wizard and tell it your library is at /Music *Vortexbox LMS 7.9 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets *Living Room* - SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s - Zone 2 -> Sony TA FE 320 -> Sennheiser RS 130 & B&W P7 *Office* - RPi -> Sony TA FE320 -> Celestion F10s / SB3 -> Onkyo CRN 755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - SB Touch -> Topping TP21 -> AKG Headphones *Bedroom (TV)* - Amazon Fire TV (SB Player) -> Topping TP20 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106625 _______________________________________________ Duet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/duet
