It turns out the theory is great, but actually buying one may take a
while. I suppose that could be the Covid-19 effect. I think the DAC+ Pro

Hi all. I've just installed piCoreplayer on a Raspberry Pi 3, pretty

I see Robbh's signature says he uses LMS 8 nightly. Maybe I should give

Will a Pi Zero W successfully run piCorePlayer and Logitech Media Server

Hi - sorry if this issue has already been addressed somewhere in the
forums, my searches failed to turn up any kind of solution.
I've been running pCP 8 and LMS 8 on an RPi 3B. I'd set a static IP
address of x.x.x.99. A new router enables me to link the Pi's MAC
address to the required IP

And I'm another one using FreeFileSync on my PC to backup changed data.
My LMS is on a Pi 3B, most of my backup drives are on another Pi
(original Mk1 B!), and the PC acts as circus ringmaster sending data
between the Pis.
Transfer speeds vary a lot
Hi all - I've Googled, searched the forum and am still stuck. If someone
can link me to the solution that would be great.

I've got the same problem. I've just rebuilt my Pi 3B with LMS and

No, none of them do - one's a Pi 4 mostly running Kodi for playing
