One thing to be wary of, I've heard, is that it is easy to bend the contacts in the USB sockets on the pi with some USB devices. ISTR the Edimax wifi adapter was singled out as quite prone to this, but it is not alone in this. Just be careful - I've not had this problem with either pi I've used this adapter on. utgg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40900 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103759 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

All done. Raspberry PI seems to be working fine. Spotify is working with the Triode update. I had to untick the Spotify (official one) from the list just below it as is wasn't working to begin with. Max2play is really easy. I'm sure I saw some wake up on lan setting somewhere but I don't think it's worth it. Anyone tried it? I haven't put any locally stored onto the Usb . Can that just be copied onto it or does it have to be formatted in a particular way? It might be a mixture of FLAC and MP3 (it's going through a Boom). It it madness mixing formats?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Installing Squeezeplug on a Raspberry PI 2
Mr Clive, If you gou withat version of squeezeplug thee is a NOOBs image that you can download, read the info on the Squeezeplug page. It would be better to use Max2play and run LMS on the rpi2. What player do you intend to use for output? (Edit: Touch and BOOM) And where in the UK are you (approx is good for now but a 'phone call can often help if you get stuck). I'm just now downloading Max2Play to use on a rpi2 with a hifiberry digi out and LMS server. When you do the install follow the instructions at each stage and don't worry if you make a mistake, all can be resolved with patience and time. You will find it quite rewardiing when everything is up and running. If you have problems, PM me your address and I'll pop a preconfigured SD card in the post for you. atb Ronnie.
