It's fascinating how different people see things. The idea of 'My' music being in the cloud, managed by some corporate monster, and unavailable if there's a comms problem (I specialised in trying to make reliable systems when in IT), gives me the shivers just thinking about it. :) > Is there a preferred linux flavour to try and if so, can someone point > me at the right LMS to download for it (and if anyone had a quick guide > on how get it running, even better) I use xubuntu, which is probably way heavier than needed, but gives me no grief and I can run headless with no fancy GUI. However, not being familiar with how one actually operates servers in the cloud I can't help with that side of things.
I get LMS from http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.9, the debian version. Whilst LMS 7.8 can be got to work there's more work to do with faad updates etc for older SB devices (can you remind me what you have?). So for the purpose of a simple test 7.9 should be easier. To get just iPlayer working should then be just the same as you did with the windows version - select the repositories and plugins as per the guide you used before. No faad changes should be needed. LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi, Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. LMS & Squeeze2upnp to MF M1 CLiC (to MF amp & ESLs) & Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers. Minimserver (server) & upplay (control point) to same renderers & to upmpdcli/mpd PC renderers. Squeezelite to Meridian USB Explorer DAC to speakers/phones. Wireless Xubuntu 14.04 laptop with firefox/upplay or Android 'phone with Squeeze-Commander/BubbleUPnP controls LMS/Minimserver. Have a Touch with EDO, and a spare, but don't use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
