A NAS device is particularly proficient when used primarily as a network data target for other machines. But a NAS is not a server. All but the most powerful models can be quickly overwhelmed when running more resource-intensive server machine applications and services, or forced to host numerous concurrent services serving many clients and targets. We also have a NAS, but it used strictly as a backup volume target on the network for the other machines and the working data volume. Most data is pushed to it in a non-priority context where QOS or streaming interruption considerations do not arise. Placing working data for a server machine elsewhere on the network does add additional packet traffic, and creates an additional fault layer should network buffers fail. A local working volume also allows a working drive separate from the machine's boot drive to host high-bandwidth tasks such as file transcoding, saving a write-limited OS SSD from unnecessary wear. A gigabit ethernet connection to a networked target drive is simply incapable of that luxury. But I can certainly understand those who do use a NAS as a working data volume for a server machine elsewhere on the network, as setting up and maintaining multiple independent arrays and HDDs in a home environment is rather expensive. sgmlaw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13995 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109946 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I don't know whether your raspbian is running ALSA or Pulseaudio - there can be a big difference in setup so understanding the basics and then providing full info is essential if you want help. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110046 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] How to organise Poweramp like Squeezebox
I would guess that if your RoomAmp has either digital or analog audio inputs you should be able to use it with a SB player. Just plug the the SB output into the RoomAmp input with speakers connected to the RoomAmp outputs.

In the second case what delays are you experiencing ? There are tweaks that can be done they depend on how the "relay" has been implemented - one is sending audio uncompressed (i.e. PCM) to player. It will reduce delay but can make system more unreliable (especially if wireless is being used ) as opportunities for buffering are reduced . bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110046 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezebox server line in
Are you trying to get the audio in into LMS for it to distribute to squeezebox players? If yes - is this something that Max2Play does for you through its own special software or are you trying to use one of the LMS plugins - like WaveInput? Basically - can you provide some more information about what you have tried to do and the results?

[slim] Squeezebox server line in
Hey everyone really new to this and I have an application I need some help with hopefully I came to the right place. I am attempting to use squeezebox currently with max2play but feel I can figure it out without it to be able to have more control of my raspberry piÂs. Here is what I am currently doing. I have a raspberry pi b+ connected via lan to my home network running as the server currently connecting audio from my home theater to the server via Bluetooth, but the Bluetooth auto connecting properly is not reliable. I then have mulitple receivers - raspberry pi a+ with hifiberry dac+ connected to the network via WiFi. This is all working well using max2play audio is synced perfectly sounds great but the Bluetooth on the server side is just not 100 percent reliable. What I am trying to do on the server side is install a hifiberry dac+ adc to use line in from my home theater to send to my receivers. I have tried setting up line in using both max2play in Lms as well as on a fresh raspbian install running lms with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas on a better way to do this with the most minimal delay? Just need for whatever I do to autorun on startup as I was not planning on having a display on these piÂs once set up. Any ideas or comments would be greatly appreciated. Have a great day!

I have a spare Squeezebox - asked about it on Linn forum too several months ago. But the forum went offline.
