Okay have run the Beta Download for a few weeks now on my RPi 4 4GB and the results have been excellent to say the least a couple of minor hiccups which just needed a clean download none of which have ever happened again . The music sound fantastic and the stability and speed of LMS in this format is really very impressive . Using touch screen players , apps and remote inputs form a pc all work very slickly with an instant response .
Only issue I was having which has nothing to do with Max2play was that my RPi 4 was running very hot . Even just idling it was at 70 and playing on a single player would push this to 72/74 . Now the point at which the CPU will throttle back is 80 and as far as I know this was never reached . The makers of the Pi are aware of the overheating issue and they issued a new firmware update which you can load using sudo - apt-get update sudo - apt-get dist-upgrade Via SSH using Putty . This did help a little and reduced the idle temperature to around 62 / 64 . Better but still a little too near the limit for me. I ordered a Flirc case in April and it arrived today . Lovely smart solid case with the main part an aluminium casting so strong and durable as well . Easy to install just applying a heat paste patch to the CPU chip case insert the plastic case bottom over the sd cardinput then drop the whole thing in and secure with four screws , even this practical idiot was able to complete with no problems . I then rebooted the Pi waited for it to come on line and checked the Settings / Reboot page and the temperature is now a stable 41 which is a huge drop and gives me real peace of mind that my Pi will always be working well within its specifications and performing just as it should.
