This is one of the area that needs to be checked - if flax & sox are OK
-perhaps
There is a curious discrepancy in the use of the cue file. The start
time of the trackin the cue file was not the time used in the log -
there is a one sec difference. When I test with my own cue file, the
times are a match.
The cue file posted has the last entry as

Many thanks. I don't want to create any more work for you so let me have
a play here first using either Gparted or my Linux laptop. I'll let you

Did you install LMS on your piCorePlayer (as well as on your PC)?
Can you play FLAC files using LMS? (Any FLAC file will do.)

Windows standard tools is not going to be easy to make an ext4 file
system, but you can used a gparted live cd. Or we can do it in a few
minutes via putty ssh session. I can do a screen capture when I get

Once you get your drives all configured you can copy your prefs,
Success!! :o
I used Lubuntu in the end and managed to alter the partition using KDE

Thanks again for all your help. I now have a Pi4 working quicker than

You're right, of course.
What about: Wiping the cache, clearing the logs, rescanning, trying to
play the file, and then uploading (not just talking about) the logs? Or,
instead of wiping the cache, reinstalling LMS.
QLMS
What I would do.
1) resize your second partition on your pCP installation to 500mb.
2) Then add a third partition to the card. Format it to ext4
3) Point LMS to put the cache on that drive.
This way if something happens to the partition table, it shouldn't
affect the booting of the player.

If you copied all the files from the same computer and with the same
user account
Note to the OP @carlmart
If you uninstall LMS from Windows make sure you remove all the files and
folders, otherwise LMS will use the ones you leave behind.
Also, download a fresh .exe and right click on it and run as

Primary is the best choice as long as you only have maximum 4
partitions. Although I know I created extended partitions before doing
testing with somewhere around 8 partitions.
How big is that partition?

Thanks for the suggestion. I bit the bullet and reinstalled. I cant

b) this flac stream is passed to the player

Who am I to comment about those details in the numbers inside the cue

Hello
Ive had a look through the forum and read loads of threads but Im
still unsure about what is the best policy with regard to the location
of the LMS cache files in PCP. Im setting up a new Pi3 or 4 (I have
both but will eventually go with the 4). My music is stored on a Qnap
NAS which

But I assume this breaks one of the perceived benefits of PCP in that it
exists in memory and only accesses the SD on bootup.

running somewhere between
