Your HP N36L is getting rather old, so if you are thinking about a replacement using a Rpi as a LMS server may or may not be the right solution for you. But it is a great optiion, especially if the RPi is also used as a player. But you really want a Rpi3 for the added performance boost. Loads of help here re: setting up using picoplayer. (My RPi 2 is stil running as player only with Triode's orig SOA software and hifiberry Digi+ hat). But as you've managed to set up a new jail on your HP N36L , you might be able to make use of this FreeBSD LMS port: https://www.freshports.org/audio/logitechmediaserver/ It's a while since I did this myself, but these note should help: Install & Buld software in jail ===================== pkg info pkg install nasm bash rsync gmake curl binutils faad2 sox flac mac libgd perl5 p5-IO-Socket-SSL-2.051 portsnap fetch extract cd /usr/ports/audio/logitechmediaserver;make install clean cd / edit /root/.cshrc to set correct locale using vi setenv LC_ALL 'en_GB.UTF-8' setenv LANG 'en_GB.UTF-8' setenv MM_CHARSET 'UTF-8' setenv TZ Europe/London Note: you'll have to check the basic commands to use in the vi editor. test locale correctly set: root@LMSjail:~ # locale LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8 Setup LMS service =============== sysrc logitechmediaserver_enable="YES" service logitechmediaserver start Testing ================== root@LMSjail2:~ # service logitechmediaserver onestart Starting logitechmediaserver.
