Although I am running LMS for years now on a customized barebone PC with Linux, the most straightforward way of running it these days is indeed piCorePlayer however. A self installed, customized system is IMO a poweruser solution and more suited for specific use cases (like mine). Running it on a RPI also has advantages because of the power consumption compared to running it on a PC or NAS btw. *Living Room:* RPI2+HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* RPI2+HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Other rooms:* 6x SB Radio *LMS*: Version 8.2.0 on Xubuntu 21.10 zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115782 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I am confused now. Imho transcoding within LMS from lossy to lossy is only suitable for specific use cases and not something to implement as a possible default for 'legacy codecs'. When transcoding legacy codecs is needed it should be to a lossless format. So I think Michael Herger has a point: the purpose of this initiative / this thread needs more clarification. *Living Room:* HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Other rooms:* 6x SB Radio *LMS*: Version 8.1.x on Xubuntu 20.04LTS zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114590 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

My choice for lossy would be Opus as well. Personally I don't use it BTW, because of the lack of prober gapless playback, in that department Ogg/Vorbis is still hard to beat.

Today I again tried a 'clear librabry and rescan everything' with a recent LMS build. The scan seems to freeze/stop after the first to steps: Discovering files/directories: /srv/data/music (37104 of 37104) Complete 00:00:13 Scanning new music files: /srv/data/music (33169 of 33169) Complete 00:12:19 Latest entry in scanner.log: [19-11-11 10:14:59.8102] Slim::Utils::Scanner::Local::__ANON__ (454) Rescanning changed audio files (0) Latest entry in server.log [19-11-11 08:51:14.4117] Slim::Utils::Scanner::Local::__ANON__ (454) Rescanning changed audio files (0) And that's about it, nothing more is happening. The only solution is to send a kill -9 to all LMS processes, do a manual restart of LMS and start a scan via 'look for new and changed media files', which works fine.

It is indeed true and amazing that we still have a lively community of enthusiasts. On the other hand: I don't agree that the ecosystem is in better shape than ever; in practice there is only one developer for LMS and Spotty; the two fundamental building blocks used by almost every SB user nowadays.
