Hi
I have been running LMS on a Pi2 for a number of years. Has worked
reliably but quite slow to update after adding new FLAC files, and
sometimes not quite as responsive as I'd like. I had been thinking of
changing to a Pi3, but now that the Pi4 is available was wondering about
that.

Complex, but will pCP read usb if it is ext4 as I have formatted stick

@bvrulez
It's best not to do too much stuff as root with the raspbery pi.
Sudo works fine and you can use sudo su for the odd time you may need
root.
Just advice, as over on the raspberry forums thay discourage using root
all the time.

Check server.log for the reason LMS has stopped.

I didn't particularly want a case with a fan, but this is just a stop
gap until something more to my liking comes along. I'd retired the Pi4
to my spares drawer, but it seemed a pity to waste it, hence the
purchase.
Noise-wise I'd say it's whisper quiet,

Thanks Ronnie, I downloaded the wrong package. Interestingly I was able
to install and run the AMD64.deb...
But however, also with the correct ARM.deb my browser is not able to
open the web gui.
As I am logged into the Raspberry via SSH and have no monitor attached I
cannot check if localhost
Thanks a lot, this is very interesting.
I took the time in between to install the nightly 7.9.2 over my 7.9.1
and now the GUI is reachable.

Not sure if these will work on Raspbian bur should do
try "netstat -t -l"
It will show which ports are being "listened" - if LMS is running you
should see port 9000, 909 and 3483
If 9001, 9002 ... is open then something is blocking 9000 for LMS.

OK, let's rewind and try to solve the problem.
With the help of a friend, more familiar with Linux, we installed PCP
5.0, with Jivelite and all.
Things went fine. PCP is seeing my network, albums and all.
So I picked a music to play, and I'm supposed to hear music, but I don't
have any.

Not wrong. A Raspberry is not a powerful computer to handle what a
server needs. That's what I have been advised. The LMS will work within
the limits of that computer.

Just FYI ... there are plenty of LMS installs on RPi with libraries in
the tens of thousands of tracks.
There are a few posts here with stats showing scan times that are
reasonable, especially for an operation (clear and rescan) that is run
infrequently.

Just answer this question:
Do you, or do you not have an instance of Logitech Media Server (LMS)
installed and running on a computer/NAS/laptop/other, on your local
network???
Never mind piCorePlayer for now.

Can we forget about LMS for a minute?
The PCP web setup allows to change the output to USB audio, which I did.
For LMS says it's not running, so what is preventing that USB to work?
Is there any other place to set that up?
Volume in PCP's audio settings does not allow any adjustment.

The only drawback at the moment is the heat. Static pi runs at 60C or so

Would you suggest to install a Linux distribution on my Mac mini (Late

Indeed it is, sorry; it's just that your problem has nothing to do with
"PiCorePlayer" nor "Squeebox", but I think you know that now. The
advice you have gotten to install latest LMS 7.9.x is good advice; it
may just eliminate your error

V 7.7.6 was the last version released by Logitech as Logitech stopped
providing active maintenance at that version.
Since then LMS has been maintained by the community and by Michael

There are many bug & security fixes since 7.7.6. Also if you plan to
