I just updated my local server yesterday.looks like it’s about ready. Please keep in mind that LMS8 might prompt the user to update daily (or whenever there's a change being comitted). That's probably not for everybody... -- Michael ___

Thank you to all for the quality feedback. Thank you Greg for reminding me that Squeezelite can be disabled. I haven't thought about that. Presumably then the 'player' doesn't exist and doesn't show up in the list of players - which is what I want. About the UPS, some of us might feel we can

And you don’t have to trash your Synology NAS. Keep your music there and mount it as a drive from within piCorePlayer so LMS can use it. As long as both devices are wired there won’t be any issue whatsoever VB2.4[/B] STORAGE *QNAP TS419P (NFS) [B]Living Room* - Joggler & SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 ->

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.
