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 Ive managed to mount successfully in PCP. As far as the cache files are concerned I believe I have the following options
1. Leave them in their default location somewhere on the system SD card. 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. 2. Try and move the cache files to the Qnap NAS. Ive tried this and at the moment it breaks LMS which refuses to then work until I move the files back to the SD card and reboot. Im not sure this is the best solution though as, even if I can get it working, I assume there will be a performance hit with the cache having to be read across the network? 3. I utilise a smallish USB stick on the Pi3 and use it purely for the cache files? Im assuming option 3 is probably the best but involves more hardware. I have some experience with Max2Play where I think the cache files are just stored on the SD card. Is it really a big deal either way?
