To simplify the transcode chain - I have tested with the CD player Flac - Disabled MP3 - Disabled PCM cdda2wav Not sure but the first test failed with CD drive being reset because it overloaded (aka over-current) the Pi - at least I now know overloading is logged. Later test played OK.

Oh dear... I seem to have borked the whole picoreplayer system, as I can't get the pi to reconnect to the network - both WiFi and ethernet won't connect. I'll have to rebuild... Back later with more queries, no doubt!

The problem, I think, is that much of BBC local radio switches to BBC Five Live overnight - and given the time zone where the Winter Olympics is taking place it is quite likely that there will be something live from the Olympics in that overnight programming ... and BBC cannot broadcast that

I tried to listen to some BBC Sounds shows today for the first time in probably a week to 10-days, didn't work. Checked, I have LMS 8.3 running and the BBC Sounds 2.32.2 plugin. I shutdown the server, cleared out the logs and restarted. These are the errors. The behavior is odd though. As I

One thing I don't understand ... cdda2wav seemed to work for Castalla when the extraction was to a wav file. At least - the output said it worked. Is it worth doing that again and then copying the resulting .wav file to a LMS music folder and seeing if it plays using browse folder? Paul

I set up another server on a win 10 laptop. CD works with one USB port. CD plays with plugin to radio with sound. So, this suggests the drive is not DOA! Not sure how this helps with the rpi problem. What do the scatterlist errors mean in my previous post?
