Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] A server for us
And you dont have to trash your Synology NAS. Keep your music there and mount it as a drive from within piCorePlayer so LMS can use it.

Hey Claus, Good news. I think everything you want has been done. :) I've been running LMS on RPi''s not long after the original RPi was released. We decide to keep piCorePlayer as a single image for both player and server. Just install the LMS extension and turn off squeezelite if you want. I agree with Paul Webster regarding UPS and backups, depending on a reasonable power in your area. With a bit of practice it takes about 5 minutes to build a player and about 15 minutes for a server. regards Greg Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112214 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] A server for us
There are a lot of people here and elsewhere using a Raspberry Pi to run LMS - and many using pCP to do it (it is not just a player). Unless you live in a area with lots of power cuts it is probably not worth (in my opinion) worrying much about losing the system on a bad power down event. A backup (or 2) of the music library is usually enough. A rebuild (or using SD card backup) of LMS with a complete rescan of the library is probably good enough for most. Unless you really care about last played date or personal ratings for tracks then you can consider much of the LMS database as fairly easy to recreate. The time comes in configuring plugins or special audio hardware - but those are things that are changed infrequently so a backup can be done easily enough.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] A server for us
With Synology officially discarding support, I wonder what happens when my DiskStation needs replacement? Could a Raspberry Pi server (not player) loaded with LMS be designed and built? Would it be posible to make something Tiny Core / piCore based, but not a player, maybe name it piCoreServer? Since LMS requires a nice shutdown, a hardware 'requirement' (or at least strong recommendation) could be to attach a UPS with a small battery. The UPS must support 'soft' shutdown, such that the LMS database survives. Something with just one minute of battery operation is required. I like PiJuice a lot, but is this product on the way out of the market? PiJuice is maybe a bit expensive, and replaced by lower-cost alternatives? Let me know if you have any information about this. The idea of a product that doesn't require any battery service, e.g. with supercaps, sounds attractive to me. Other than that, this LMS server solution requires some sort of storage support, either with a good size USB SSD - is it available in a pen format? Reliability is king. Can we support two disks (a primary and a backup w. failover that is normally inactive during reading and therefore with less wear)? If yes, maybe lower cost flash drives are OK. On the server side, it should be easy to administrate your music collection and rescan. Preferably easy to upload music, maybe easy to delete certain music, if unwanted, etc. Anything else server-side, which is desirable? Maintenance options? Easy software updates? We don't need an audio card, since this is a server that I'll stove away. Is any sort of display and/or loudspeaker (for acoustic information) required or desired? /Claus cfuttrup's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32784 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112214 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] CPAN modules error: Image::Scale
I solved the problem. Here's what I did: _ - disable logitechmediaserver.service and reboot - copy Image-Scale-0.08.tar.gz to //src/slimserver-vendor-7.9.2.arch2/CPAN/ - remove the existing logitechmediaserver-7.9.2.arch2-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz from the installation folder - change the references to "Image-Scale-0.11" in /src/slimserver-vendor-7.9.2.arch2/CPAN/buildme.sh to "Image-Scale-0.08" - from the installation directory, run makepkg -s - verify that the new .xz file (logitechmediaserver-7.9.2.arch2-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz) has been built - run sudo pacman -U logitechmediaserver-7.9.2.arch2-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz - start and enable logitechmediaserver.service - listen to some music to make sure it's working until the next time... _ (I found version 0.08 of Image::Scale at https://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Image/) Thanks to everybody for your help and suggestions! Merci à tous de votre aide et conseil! If anyone has questions I'd be glad to help.
